But Gu Ya on the other hand doesnât know anything, hence her inability to grasp why someone who schemes to get into the manâs bed would openly expose her own character. Wouldnât that be the equivalent of pushing the monarch away by shooting her own foot?
âAfterwards?â Heavenly acted like he didnât see Gu Yaâs shocked gaze and continued to ask.
Ji Skyâs heart quivered: âI⦠I injured the madam. If Your Monarchness wishes to punish me then I fully accept my fault⦠I only ask that I not be casted away and driven out of the Monarch Manor.â
The frown on Heavenlyâs face grew deeper and deeper until his brain seemingly exploded over that statement.
He hurt my wife Ningâer?
The woman I loved for most of my life, she got hurt by the hands of my own men?
Tightly clenching his fist, the manâs energy surged and wrapped around the hand as he shot it over to Ji Skyâs chest.
No one stopped the monarch there, nor did they plead for the elderâs case.
Heâs got to take this punch! Whether it was for his impulses of that day, or for him hurting the monarchâs wife, he must take this in order to repent. And if he didnât endure this punch, well, the consequences may be the expulsion from the Monarch Manor. Being driven out was far worse than taking a hit, that proves Ji Sky wouldnât be driven out already and be forced to leave.
âDo you believe you should suffer this punch?â Heavenlyâs voice sounded harsh and serious as he lashed out.
Climbing up from the ground, Elder Sky wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth: âI deserved this.â
âI want you to remember that no one is to believed without evidence. Such a mistake will not be tolerated again. Regardless of what they say, a judgement must be made only after a proper investigation. Out of Songâs case and the fact that you did out of worry for her, plus your long years of service to the Monarch Manor, I will overlook this one time. If thereâs a second, I wonât show the same mercy!â
If it hadnât been for Di Ling Yan tugging at his sleeve next to himself, plus Songâs pleading gazeâ¦.
Maybe this punch wouldnât have been so light.
But since he had no intention of evicting the elder, Ji Sky had to bear the punch for the reason of hurting his beloved wife.
âYes,â Ji Sky sighed a breath of relief as he knelt in respect, âthank you monarch.â
That punch was indeed not very heavy, only causing the senior a few minor injuries on the organ. A mere healing pill would suffice.
The corners of Gu Yaâs mouth were a little stiff then. She didnât miss the part where Ji Sky called Bai Ning the madam of the manor.
When did this woman become the mistress of the Monarch Manor? In just a few months and the monarch already accepted her?
âMonarch!â Gu Ya panicked, causing her elegant face to turn colorless, âYou really want this woman as your wife? Do you know who she is? Know her past? And sheâs a married woman, how can she be fit for the position of being the mistress of the Monarch Manor?â
Heavenlyâs attention slowly receded from Elder Skyâs figure and shifted over to Gu Ya after that outcry.
âElders, you have all heard it for yourself on this womanâs ambition. She and her daughter are both coming with ill intent, do you not see that? The two of them intends to share a single husband, would that arrangement turn the entire Monarch Manor upside down?!â
By this point Heavenlyâs gaze wasnât that of indifference anymore, itâs that of a storm ready to blow.
