The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 1450 Threat

Chapter 1450: Chapter 1450 Threat

The old woman made a series of threats.

She believed that she could intimidate Gu Ya with such tactics, and Qiaoqiao wasn’t afraid that Gu Ya would drive her away either. With her aunt as an ally, it was impossible for Gu Ya to let them, aunt and niece, leave.

At this moment, Su Yunjin remained silent. She wanted to see whether Gu Ya would agree or not. However, Su Ningxiu couldn’t keep her composure, and subconsciously wanted to ask Gu Ya to agree to let the old woman and her niece leave. But as the words reached her lips, Su Ningxiu thought of the midwife that Gu Ya had brought from Yangcheng, who was extremely skilled in her craft. Considering her younger sister’s big belly and that she was due to give birth in just over a month, if they sent the midwife away now, where would her brother-in-law find another skilled midwife for her younger sister in time?

Taking this into account, Su Ningxiu swallowed her words.

Although Su Ningxiu really hoped that the midwife would stay to help her sister give birth, she couldn’t help but find Qiaoqiao very unpleasant to look at.

The old woman and her niece, Qiaoqiao, secretly took pride in their hearts, certain that Gu Ya wouldn’t let them go. However, to their surprise, Gu Ya looked at them indifferently and spoke.

"Old Madam Feng, if you are determined to leave with your niece, then Gu will not stop you." Both aunt and niece were ill-intentioned.

Gu Ya did not plan on keeping these two in his residence any longer. If they wanted to leave, Gu Ya wouldn’t stop them. Yangcheng was a large place and finding a midwife, if one has the money, was just a trivial matter.

Gu Ya was not intimidated by these two in the slightest. Unexpectedly, after hearing Gu Ya’s words, Old Madam Feng and Qiaoqiao both stared with eyes wide, stunned.

Both their expressions were of disbelief.

They could not believe that Gu Ya would agree so readily to let them leave.

"No, no, no, this is impossible!" In a moment of panic, Qiaoqiao blurted out her thoughts, and Old Madam Feng also stepped forward to look at Gu Ya.

"Master Gu, the lady is about to give birth, how will she cope if you let me and my niece leave?" Gu Ya had paid a handsome sum to Old Madam Feng for her services, significantly more than what she usually received for delivering babies. Moreover, for the care provided to Su Yunjin during the pregnancy period, Gu Ya would compensate her on a daily basis.

By the time Su Yunjin had given birth, Old Madam Feng would have made a tidy sum. Naturally, Old Madam Feng was not willing to miss out on such an unexpected windfall.

Previously, Old Madam Feng had been impulsive and overestimated her worth, using it to threaten Gu Ya. Now realizing that Gu Ya could not be threatened, she hastily spoke with a flattering smile.

"Master Gu, if my niece and I have offended you in any way, please show leniency from you and your wife. I assure you, if we stay, both my niece and I will serve the lady and the child in her womb with all our hearts. Master Gu, considering that my niece and I have come from afar, please allow us to stay."

Qiaoqiao also actively admitted her mistake, her heart in turmoil, fearing that Gu Ya would soon drive her and her aunt away. "Master Gu, Madame Gu, Qiaoqiao is young and naive, if there has been any offense, I beg Master Gu and Madame Gu to forgive, and not to take offense at Qiaoqiao’s actions."

Gu Ya did not even look at Old Madam Feng and Qiaoqiao.

"I will give you a portion of the promised wages as compensation for your troubles in coming here from afar," said Gu Ya in an indifferent tone, decisively refusing the pleas of Old Madam Feng and Qiaoqiao.

Upon hearing these words.

Qiaoqiao felt a chill in her heart.
