Detective Ghost Empress

364 Flirty old man——” No, that’s not what I … you know what forget it,” Old Man He was not even surprised when he failed with his flirty remarks, this was why he never was able to get Nanny Gong to marry him. Since the latter was as dense as a brick and nothing get through her, if not then she would not be serving the queen for so long without a spouse by her side.

His remark caused Nanny Gong to tilt her head in confusion but she did not say anything as long as she got the chilled lychee juice there was nothing else she needed to talk to Old Man He about. Seeing that Nanny Gong was not even asking him what he was trying to do, old Man He was upset but he could not simply shake the latter and tell her that he liked her.

Because he knew that she will shoot him down as she had done to others. Every time any man tried to get close to her, she would refuse them saying that she needed to take care of the young miss—— that young miss was now the Queen but Nanny Gong was still fussing over Liu Hui Ying like she was a young child.

Though he understood that it was because Nanny Gong thought that Liu Hui Ying still needed her since she grew up without a mother but Nanny Gong could still take some time off to look around for a dashing spouse right?

He turned on his heels and walked inside the tent where he saw his cousin looking at him with his lips twitching and knew that his cousin must have heard him trying to flirt with Nanny Gong.

“Go ahead and laugh, you have always been like this, if you were a better wingman, she would have become your sister-in-law long ago,” Old Man He took his frustration out on his cousin who was already making a glass of lychee juice.

” I am not laughing at you,” Chef He who was used to watching his cousin flirt with many women suppressed the curl of his lips and then turned around to pour the juice into a porcelain bowl in which he had already placed ice cubes and then said, ” I am just trying to figure out how can you say such cheesy words without gagging, no wonder you only caught a few maids and not someone like Nanny Gong. She is way higher than your standard, Cousin, maybe try giving up now that you are so old.”

He placed the porcelain bowl on a wooden tray and then turned to hand it to his cousin who was glaring at him. When Chef He saw his cousin glare, he only teased him more and then said, ” You are already halfway in your grave what are you getting flirting with woman at your age?”

” Fck you!” Old Man He snatched the tray from his cousin and then walked out of the tent where he composed his expression and smiled at Nanny Gong who was standing in front of him with a polite expression and then offered her the lychee juice before saying, “It just as you asked Miss Gong, cold and sweet. I am sure her majesty will like it.”

.....

” It will be better if she does,” Nanny Gong muttered as she looked at the slightly pink juice and then sighed, ” I will not be able to see that vulgarity again.”

” Vulgar what?” Old Man He was stunned when he heard Nanny Gong mutter these words, he looked at the latter in shock but before he could get a response from Nanny Gong, he saw the latter turning around and leaving without even replying to his question. He chased after Nanny Gong and said, ” What did you mean by that Miss Gong?”

But the old woman who was in a hurry did not hear him causing Old Man He to look at her with concern as he muttered, ” Don’t tell me that the queen is harassing her nanny? I did hear about her being rude to her servants. If so then I will have to save, Miss Gong!”

…..

” Achoo!” Liu Hui Ying did not know that she was now the target of Nanny Gong’s admirer, she stayed in the tent and sneezed loudly before raising her hand and wiping her nose. ” Who is bad-mouthing me now?”

Nanny Gong, who arrived at the tent heard her words just as she entered and immediately said with a smile, ” Who will bad mouth you, your majesty? I will tear their mouths off.”

Liu Hui Ying knew that the elderly woman was only saying such things to her because she wanted to butter her up after causing a disaster and smiled in a fake manner as she said, ” I am sure that the bad one mouthing me is you, Nanny Gong. After all, you have a lot of complaints regarding me.”

” Of course not, your majesty,” Nanny Gong gasped as if she was hurt by Liu Hui Ying’s comments and then said in a soft voice, ” I assure you that no matter how much you drive me crazy, I will never have the nerve to bad mouth you, there is no way!”

” So you do admit that I drive you crazy, Nanny?” Liu Hui Ying cheekily teased the elderly woman who bit her tongue when she realised that she seemed to have gone a bit too far in the flow and let her internal thoughts be known by her majesty.

Because Nanny Gong’s fantasy wasn’t being tied up like a deer and shot with an arrow, she immediately back peddled and replied with a smile on her face, ” Oh did I say that I drive you cThat’s Thats not what I meant your majesty, what I meant was that I am crazy in love with you… you are the sweetest girl in my eyes even if you are all grown up and I truly adore you, so no matter what you do, I will never bad mouth you.” As she spoke she even started to bat her eyes at Liu Hui Ying.
