Chapter 1766 “Bai Yan’s Here (5)”
If from the beginning she had intended to stay due to Di Ling Yan’s desire then now Bai Yan was staying out of her own curiosity. Who wouldn’t want to meet such a legendary figure, especially when it’s somewhat related to her own life?
Second Elder Butterfly did not notice Bai Yan’s strange expression and got all impatient with Gu Ya’s presence instead: “Gu Ya, the monarch is not at the estate so you better leave first, and… the things you did behind everyone’s back, don’t think we do not know about it. If not for the fact that we are certain about your loyalty towards the monarch, you believe you could’ve gotten away with it?”
“I…” Gu Ya’s small dainty face immediately lost all color as she clenched those fists into a tight ball. “Second Elder, I’m sorry for disturbing then, I will return once the monarch is back.”
After saying this, Gu Ya finally turned away, but not before giving Bai Yan and the pipsqueak one final resentful glance under the scorching sun.
As for the two watchmen who suffered the most here despite doing nothing wrong, they wanted to erase their own existence after Butterfly’s entry. Fortunately the elder didn’t pay them any heed, otherwise who knows what sort of punishment awaited them.
“Miss, allow me to give my gratitude for willing to stay. We’ve all been very curious on the sort of person you are to be able to produce such a good and wonderful child like the little young miss.”
Bai Yan raised an eyebrow at the way they addressed Ling Yan, but decides to not touch on that topic: “Your monarch is called Heavenly is it not?”
“Heavenly is the name of our monarch, yes.” Butterfly smiles in a friendly manner to show she means well.
There’s no reason for her to be hostile after all. Their liege already ordered the little pipsqueak to become the manor’s young miss, that meant the child’s the most important person aside from the guy himself. Now that the baby’s mother has become, it’s only normal for her to get friendly and avoid offending the other party.
“Mmm,” said Bai Yan as she held the child’s hand, “I and Ling Yan will be here until he returns then, do let me know once he does.”
“Please make yourself at home during this period, I will be sure to inform you right away once the monarch does return.” Making a welcoming gesture with one hand, Butterfly wishes to lead the way by opening the way.
Bai Yan did not say since the other party was so welcoming. Pinching her daughter’s cheek: “Ling Yan, let’s go inside and rest first….”
These days, she’s been anxiously running around and could not rest at all, therefore its only normal for her to want to relax for some calm.
……
Gu Manor.
Gu Ya was in a dreadful mood by the time she returned to her home. Due to this, the lady didn’t even notice the old figure who had stood in front of herself until she actually bumped into the person.
Tearing up after recognizing who it was: “Gu Lao…”
The old senior immediately picked up on the panic and dread in that voice. Getting dark in the face, the gramps reached out to know what’s wrong since he’s always thought of her as his own granddaughter. “Is it Heavenly and that lass again?”
Gu Ya shook her head to try to deny it but those tears told the other side all they needed to know. “It’s not Heavenly, he’s not at the estate.”
