Chapter 1289: Fight his fear
Yu Dong looked at Xiao Hua who stood with his arms crossed in front of her, she had tried to break the matter to him in a much more gentle way but then Yu Mai rushed ahead and announced that his aunt was getting married.
It was a good news. Indeed it was.
But the bride was unaware about her marriage and the groom was not the one they were hoping for. So of course, Xiao Hua was quite mad after finding out that Yu Tong had been engaged when she was pursuing Lin Hanjing!
"This is outrageous! Just when Brother Hanjing started to soften his stance," Xiao Hua hissed angrily. He couldn't believe that Second Madam Yu did something so terrible just because she wanted Yu Tong to marry a mer who still had his virtue and not a mer who had given birth.
Was it Lin Hanjing's fault that a woman used her power and money to force him to sleep with her and have her child? Why was it that everyone was blaming Lin Hanjing and no one blamed his parents or the woman who caused him to be in this situation?
How was it his fault? His parents sold him away and the women used their money to make him submit because he had a beautiful face. In this entire scenario, the one who was the most innocent was none other than Lin Hanjing!
"I know that you are angry but you need to calm down," Yu Dong said to Xiao Hua who turned and glared at her before saying, "Do you think that I can calm down? Brother Hanjing always believed that no woman would be able to love him and he was slowly getting his confidence back with your sister's pursuit."
"He started to believe that even someone like him who had been used as an accessory could be loved," Xiao Hua's eyes turned red when he thought of how Lin Hanjing's heart would break when he found out that Yu Tong was engaged to someone else. He wiped his tears at the back of his hand and said, "Once he finds out that Yu Tong is engaged, he will be back to square one."
Yu Dong watched the mer who was really angry and nursed her forehead. She then said to him, "Then we just have to make sure that he doesn't go back to square one."
"And how are you going to do that?" Chen Mi questioned while watching Xiao Hua breathe fire. He turned to look at his wife who seemed calm despite the mess of a situation they were in and frowned, "I mean, there is no way we can stop this marriage now that everyone in the Murong village knows about it."
"That's right, which is why we need to make it so that either Yu Tong gets what she wants or the Murong family refuses to marry," Yu Dong said to the rest of the family who were acting like headless flies. She raised her head and sighed before saying, "I have always said that instead of dragging the matter on for so long they should have just listened to their hearts."
"You do not understand the matter of heart," Xiao Hua remarked with a tearful gaze causing Yu Dong's expression to turn blank as she said, "Oh if that is the case then shall I break our engagement, you can look for a much better woman."
Xiao Hua: "…."
"Forgive me, my love. You are the one who understands the matter of hearts the best," Xiao Hua said to Yu Dong who only smiled at him.
She then said, "I think that the easiest way to deal with this matter is to get the two of them married. Once they are married then neither Second Madam Yu nor the Murong family will be able to do anything as to whether or not they want to move on with the marriage?" She trailed off before saying, "That is something you do not need to worry about because I will deal with Murong Si." Explore hidden tales at empire
"What do you mean by you will deal with him?" Shen Li questioned with a subtle frown.
While Ye Liu tilted his head and punched his fist in his palm with an imaginary candle hovering over his head. "You are going to kill him."
"I BEG YOUR PARDON?" Shen Li shrieked as he turned to look at Yu Dong before saying, "You cannot kill him! No matter how clean you are with your hands, you cannot kill an innocent mer!"
Yu Dong: "…" I am glad that my image in your head is that of a hitman.
"Of course, I am not going to kill him," Yu Dong rubbed the space between her eyebrows as she said, "I think that Murong Si is a rather smart mer.
The fact that he was able to deduce the truth without anyone relaying it to him and he even came to look for Ah Tong as he was worried that she would leave him alone on the day of the wedding, is enough to show that he is someone with a stable head on his shoulders."
"Are you saying that he knows when to advance and retreat?" Ye Liu questioned Yu Dong as he poured the cold water into the teapot to make lemonade while Shen Li was given a coup of hot and nourishing chicken soup.
Shen Li looked at the chilled lemonade with a wistful expression as Ye Liu scolded him, "Don't even think about taking a sip. The last time you tried to drink something cold, we all were sent into an alarming situation."
The last time when Ye Liu made chilled lemonade, Shen Li snuck a sip from it and almost got into trouble. It was a good thing that Yu Dong's spiritual energy stabilized the fetuses or else!
"I know, I know," Shen Li sighed. He was also guilty regarding that incident but, without rain, the weather was too hot and he was not allowed to go anywhere cold. Even his room didn't have any ice placed inside, only a fan was installed inside that needed a mammy to pull a string every hour.
He then turned to look at Yu Dong before asking, "You think that Murong Si will let Lin Hanjing take over his position? No matter how smart he is, no mer will be willing to give up his position as the official husband."
