Chapter 1778 “The Cure (3)”

No matter what happens, I won’t let such a misbehaving woman stay in the monarch’s home, I won’t allow any threaten myself and my status as the next mistress!

As the moon fell over the west mountains, Gu Lao’s white robe finally reappears in the Gu Manor.

“Gu Lao where have you been?” Gu Ya couldn’t help but raise a smile at the only person whom she considers a family member.

However, instead of greeting the lady with a smile of his own, the old senior instead flashed a flicker of panic in the bottom of those old eyes. Naturally this behavior wouldn’t escape the lady who’s known this gramps for so long. Immediately, a sinking feeling gripped Gu Ya’s heart.

“Milady…” Gu Lao clears his throat with a dry laugh to hide his inner guilt.

“Gu Lao, we have been together for so many years, you believe I wouldn’t notice? I told you, I have other ways to get rid of them, you don’t have to take the risk, understand?” Gu Ya angrily reprimands him.

Truth was she’s not worried about Bai Yan or Di Ling Yan’s safety at all, after all, those two has nothing to do with herself. It’s the danger of carrying about such a mission. Without doubt, Heavenly was bound to find out the truth eventually. By then, not even she could save Gu Lao from the man’s wrath.

Gu Lao’s mood hit rock bottom. Musing for a moment, he faces the lady as he spoke with a strong determination: “Miss, to me, you’re no different than my own granddaughter, and I would do anything to remove the threat for you.”

Gu Ya’s body stiffened while her clenched fist loosened. In that moment, she felt helplessly weak.

“Gu Lao, I know you are doing it for my sake, but… I know there are other ways to drive that woman out. We only need to unite with First Elder to do that.”
