The three ignored the speechless expressions of the Spring Renewal Valley residents behind them and pressed close to the door, hoping to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.
Yet after Liang Qilüe's furious roar, no sound loud enough for them to hear came from inside. They listened at the crack in the door for ages without figuring out what had happened.
Fortunately-
Gao Siyuan and Liaochen cast discreet glances at the little girl crouching at the bottom.
-fortunately, eavesdropping was not their only way of learning the truth.
[Darn it... I can't hear anything!]
[Did Grandpa Liang hit Imperial Father?!]
[Why isn't there any sound?!]
Could he be preparing to kill him to silence him?!
Jiang Yingcheng managed to frighten herself with her own imagination and hurriedly asked System Bro in her mind, [System Bro, System Bro?!]
Another long moment passed.
She drew out a long "Ohhh-" before thinking, [So that's all it was-]
With that thought, Jiang Yingcheng covered her mouth and began snickering, like a little padded jacket that had sprung a leak.
Gao Siyuan was getting anxious.
He had heard plenty of gossip about his colleagues, but this was the first time he had been so close to gossip about Emperor Mingze, with only Liaochen around to hear it besides him.
The secret delight of being about to hear exclusive gossip surged through his heart.
Although this matter was indeed extremely important...
It had already happened. What harm could there be in listening for just a little while?
It wouldn't change anything!
Deeply influenced by the little girl, Gao Siyuan roared inwardly-
What. Was. Wrong. With. Listening?!
[Pfft-Imperial Father only revealed who he was, and Grandpa Liang already ordered him out?!]
*[Ahahahaha-Grandpa Liang's nose is practically twisting with rage, and Imperial Father is still calmly drinking tea
