This hearty laugh spread across the Monarch’s Manor, reaching into the ears of all those who occupied it and those who hadn’t quite left the estate yet.
……
Gu Ya tightly pinched her fists at that voice due to the stinging in the heart. She’s been with Heavenly for many years, never has she seen him be so happy before.
“Miss…” Senior Gu Lao sounded worried after noticing the drop of tear forming on the lady’s eye, “You in fact don’t need to worry about that baby girl, the monarch won’t touch her for at least a decade. She’s not a threat to you….”
Gu Ya didn’t feel any better from those consoling attempt, instead she heavily bit her pale lip and stared behind at the courtyard where the laughter continued to echo out.
Angrier in the face than the last since the senior could tell how pained the lady was: “But who could’ve guessed the baby would be so good at attracting the opposite sex despite being so young. It really begs to wonder the sort of parent she has to be able to teach her such trickery.”
“Gu Lao!” Gu Ya’s expression got serious and stern, “Don’t mention such things again, remember that. The girl is only two years old, how do you expect her to know what she’s doing? The reason she’s getting so much attention is because Heavenly dotes on children, that’s all, nothing more.”
“So what if she’s only two years old? Miss, although a baby is a blank white sheet of paper but that doesn’t mean their parents are as innocent. In this world, there are plenty of parents who would incite their child to go after people of high stature. It’s not impossible that the girl back inside is here under her parent’s instruction.”
Senior Gu Lao huffs a grunt, Milady is too simple minded, this child is obviously getting close to the monarch under someone’s instruction.
Gu Ya did not add to that and kept quiet from there.
Even if she does not believe in a two-year-old child being capable of seduction and foxy ways, but the monarch’s love for a child still stung greatly.
“Miss…” the senior suddenly made a neck slicing gesture, “do you want me to solve the problem?”
Instead of being elated, Gu Ya’s complexion instantly changed for the worse and lashed out with a scold: “Gu Lao, no matter what I am not going to kill a child just because I feel insecure! What if Heavenly finds out? He will sure be very sad afterwards….”
She just wants him to be with herself, never did it cross her mind to hurt a child for that. Besides, what can a baby do? Gu Ya doesn’t even consider Di Ling Yan as a rival.
Senior Gu Lao’s frown only deepened, Milady is too soft inside. If it were me, I would’ve removed them right from the start if they posed even the slightest threat. However, it’s also the lady’s character that she could stay beside the Monarch’s side for so long. If it were anyone else, they would’ve long been swept out the door.
“Gu Lao!” Gu Ya saw the old man didn’t recede his murderous thoughts so she got even harsher in the voice: “I said I do not want to move against a baby girl, do you not understand? She is not my opponent! If you move against her and is discovered, I won’t be able to save you from the monarch’s wrath!”
The woman here followed the monarch for many years and helped him regain his strength, but that doesn’t mean she could do whatever she wants.
No one knows the monarch’s temper better than her, and if she annoys him, he won’t hold back just because of their old relationship! By then, no pleading would save Gu Lao.
Hanging his head low as he complied in respectful tone: “Miss, I understand….”
