âIs that so?â The woman in white just stared at Mo Xin Yan: âIt is not necessary to call someone. Itâs enough to let her live out the rest of her life like this. However, you need to have the maids pay closer attention, donât let her fall into this filthy state again.â
After all, this girl wasnât born from her and Di Cang so itâs no wonder she wouldnât care about the child. Shame though, the girlâs birth father would never know of Heartâs existence if this continues.
âYes, Shifu.â Mo Xin Yan proudly raised the corner of her lips into a smirk. Sheâs pleased to know her shifu doesnât care about Heart like always, meaning she could be more brazen in the future with her bullying.
The woman in white paused when she walked by Heartâs side, that voice turning softer as she commented: âGo back and freshen up as well. Do not stay at the front and stay in the backyard. If others see you then it will be an inconvenience.â
âAhh.â Heart murmurs like a timid rabbit, her head hanging low and not daring to look up at her own mother.
Although she wasnât the brightest head around, she could still hear and understand everything, including the disgust in her motherâs voiceâ¦..
âDonât worry Shifu, I will take good care of Sister Heart. I wonât let anything bad happen to her and make sure sheâs well taken care of.â Mo Xin Yan smiled beautifully and said this from behind.
That made the monarch stop in her footstep again. She could hear the meaning behind her studentâs tone, but in the end, the woman in white continued onward and abandoned her own flesh and blood in the rear.
As soon as they were alone again, Mo Xin Yanâs expression instantly sank and returned to her ferocious self: âI didnât expect Shifu to remember you still after ignoring you for so many years. But donât get cocky. She is my shifu, not yours, understand?!â
Heart dully raised her head, not understanding the sudden change in attitude.
Did I do something wrong again?
âBut⦠But Iâll miss her too.â She bit her lips in grievance and tried to defend her actions.
Over the years, her mother had never come to see her, but that doesnât mean Heart never went to see the monarch. Though sheâs afraid, it doesnât change the longing for a mother.
Mo Xin Yan growled and reached over to pinch that arm, thus causing Heart to tear up from the pain.
âWhat are you missing my Shifu for? You are just a dumb lass without any purpose to your own existence! Shifu will not pay a single second of attention to you! If you dare appear before her again then donât blame me for getting rough. Iâm warning you, I wonât hold back if I catch you!â Mo Xin Yanâs angry glare was intense and threatening.
Shrinking back into her timid form, Heart didnât dare to look up like before and grew quiet.
âAlso, you are not allowed to tell others on how I treat you.â Mo Xin Yan narrows her eyes into a cold slit like a snake, âOtherwise, you know what will happen then. I will not only beat you, I will drive you out of the estate so you can never appear before us again. You better behave yourself if you want to stay.â
Heartâs body trembled a few times as she spoke with a shaky voice: âSister Xin Yanâ¦. Iâ¦. Iâll be good, please donât kick me out.â
Looking at the girlâs panicked face, the vile girl finally smiled in satisfaction after getting her way.
