Chapter 1780 “The Cure (5)

“Yes, she admitted it herself. I said I would tell the monarch what she said also, but that woman said she’s not afraid and that even if I did, she wouldn’t admit it. Elder Sky, I’m only coming to you because I’m out of options, and if I go to the other elders, they wouldn’t believe me.” Gu Ya’s expression right now showed helplessness and pain, matched that with the sobbing voice, it’s the perfect guise to sell her story.

Sure enough, Ji Sky’s face got darker and darker following her every word.

See this, Gu Ya presses hard to seal the deal: “Have you not wondered why Ling Yan’s mother would find her way here so quickly after the child came to the manor? It’s not like Heavenly and all of you didn’t try to look for the woman before, right? I suspect… both of them appeared so suddenly and without any indication, it’s possible the encounter was premeditated from the very start….”

“It’s one thing for Ling Yan, she’s only two years old so she wouldn’t know better, plus the monarch dotes on her very much. Elder Sky, I know what I’m saying is a grim theory, but you must do something about that woman, at the very least drive her away so Ling Yan wouldn’t be corrupted by such a scheming mother.” Gu Ya implored the senior, trying hard to make her point stand.

She really doesn’t like the pipsqueak, but out of Heavenly’s sake she’s willing to compromise. Besides, this conceited woman had a lot of confidence in herself that she could break down that temperament and mold it to her liking.

Ji Sky didn’t completely fall for the story yet in the way he narrowed in his eyes at the other person, which promptly roused a flustered face as a result.

After a long while of this uncomfortable silence: “Miss Gu Ya, I will investigate this matter so go back for now. If what you say is true about her character then I will drive her away.”

The reply was within her expectations. There are still some days before Heavenly returns so this would be the first step in her grand plan.

“In that case, I won’t say much more; after all, we are all here in service of the monarch and wouldn’t want such a misbehaving woman nearby. However, there’s one more thing I like Elder Sky to help me with….”

“What’s the matter?”

“I’ve made it known that I very much like Ling Yan that young lass, would it be possible for me to move to the yard next to her? Don’t worry, you can rest assured I won’t do anything, that child is so adorable and cute, I only want to keep an eye out for her safety in case her mother tries anything.”

Ji Sky still felt skeptical of the woman’s excuse but nodded anyways. He’s seen it with his own eyes how much she loves Heavenly so he’s not worried about Gu Ya trying anything ill towards those close to the monarch.

“I can let you move to her side yard, but that’s only for the next few days until the monarch returns. Once he’s back, you’re leaving, understood?”

Gu Ya’s heart cracked with joy: “Thank you Elder.”

“You don’t have to rush to thank me so quickly. If in the meantime anything happens in the manor, I will immediately turn my suspicion towards you, understand?” Ji Sky’s tone was heavy and stern, showing he meant what he said and as warning.

Gu Ya’s lip twitched without surprise: “Elder Sky, please be at ease, I won’t do anything. You know, I can’t stand to see the monarch sad, naturally that means I won’t even think about doing anything to those close to him…”

Of course, the exception would be that despicable mother of Ling Yan’s…. Heavenly hasn’t met that woman yet, I can still make it if I shoo her out of the estate before he returns.
