âRuqing!â The First Elder sighs and makes a frustrated face: âI have told you before that you donât have to worry about the businesses related to the King. If Her Highness trespasses into the Demon Mountain then there will be His Majesty coming to save her, thereâs no need for you to interfere.â
Not to mentionâ¦â¦
The relationship between the Queen and the one residing here is not ordinary to begin with.
Seemingly decided now in her mind after being reprehended, âGodfather, itâs precisely because sheâs our queen that its more dangerous! I heard Lady Suzaku has an extraordinary relationship with Sire, and in the past, she has already burned one of His Majestyâs admirers after the woman trespassed into her domain. If it becomes known that the Queen is here, what do you all think would happen?â
The meaning and intent of her explanation was as clear as daylight. First was how much the Vermillion Bird hates Bai Yan, secondly in how Di Cang and Suzaku had an extramarital affair.
And sure enough, Bai Yanâs attention has been caught, just that its only the look of someone confused by what they were hearing.
âMoreover, who doesnât know the one here in the Demon Mountain is very special. In fact, if there were no queen, then maybeâ¦. the position of queen wouldâve been hers instead. Iâm only doing this out of concern for Her Royal Highnessâs safetyâ¦.â
Pah!
In a fit of range, the First Elder directly sends a slap across Jun Ruqingâs face over that outrageous statement. Now on her snowy white skin was the print of five fingers due to the impact.
âRuqing, you disappoint me!â The elder sighs, exhausted by everything thatâs transpiring.
He honestly thought his goddaughter could control her feeling for Di Cang, but his expectations were wrong, very wrongâ¦.
Can love really make a person lose their senses so easily?
âFirst Elder, quell your anger first, Iâm sure Ruqing didnât mean to do what she did.â
The rest of the elders quickly steps in to help sooth the situation. They are aware of how sensible the fox woman could be at these times, yet this occasion went against all that they know of her. Whatâs more, she has the audacity to frame Di Cang. If word reaches the manâs ear, a storm would ensue without a doubt.
âThatâs right, Ruqing made a mistake, thatâs her fault no doubt. However, her intents were good in the end. If we must find some sort of fault here though, it would be her misconception of the Queen being a palace maid; otherwise, why would she come running to us for help?â
When Bai Yan heard the elderâs persuasions, she actually gawked her mouth in surprise. Facing the ghastly white fox woman: âMiss⦠have we met before?â
ââ¦..â
The elders are likewise startled by the question then.
What does she mean by this? Didnât Ruqing say she had tried to persuade Her Highness in not stepping into the Demon Mountain? Whatâs this stuff about have we met?
âSon, have you seen her before?â Bai Yan pulls her son in front of herself and made a deep smile.
As the most adorable and lovable son of his mother, Bai Xiachen would of course not miss the meaning behind those words. Making the most devious and sly grin: âMother, isnât she the lady in charge of sweeping the floor? I remember she was constantly squatting outside our place, to think she was the First Elderâs goddaughter.â Turning to said elder, the baby boy then puts on the most dissatisfied face he could make: âGrandpa Elder, does my Baddie Father know about this? Pushing your own goddaughter into being the cleaning lady is not right you know.â
