Chapter 948: Want to marry ? Then marry.
Old Master Tong's wails came to a sudden halt causing the villagers to look at him with an amused look. Even the tears in his eyes seemed to have dried up as he looked at Yu Dong in alarm. This one sentence from Yu Dong was enough to scare Old Master Tong out of his wits, he was even more scared when compared to the time when he saw Old Madam Yu's second husband.
This matter cannot be reported, the laws regarding the infidelity of mers were not at all lenient. He will lose his life if he was reported to the authorities what was more Yu Cheng will gain the title of 'a murderer's grandson!'. His grandson was going to pass the exam and become an official before bringing him to the capital.
He was going to live in a palace-like house which was filled with marble and luxury! How can he die here?
" NO! You cannot do this! You will ruin Yu Cheng if you were to bring my infidelity in front of the authorities. I beg you, I beg you to let him off… Dong Dong, he is your brother even if he is only your cousin, he is still your brother. Don't you think you are being too harsh on him? His future will be ruined if you report me, he cannot do without me!" Old Master Tong no longer tried to act up, this time he was truly scared. He thought that Old Madam Yu was going to let him go but the woman was heartless through and through.
Seeing that Old Madam Yu was not going to say anything, he turned to look at Yu Dong and then knelt in front of her. When Yu Dong saw Old Master Tong kneel, she immediately stood to a side and dragged Shen Li who arrived with Yu Mai to the side as well. Even though Old Master Tong was in the wrong, he was still her elder, she could not take his bow no matter what without being called out names.
Yu Dong then calmly looked at Old Master Tong and then stated quietly, " You are blaming me for something that I did not do, I did not ask you to scheme against my mother nor did I ask you to push little Mai in cold water," as she spoke she turned to look at Yu Mai who was staring at everything in a daze. Because Shen Li was covering his ears, Yu Mai did not hear anything but even so the gaze of the child was still as innocent as ever, he did not even know that the old mer who was kneeling on the ground ruined his life instead——
" Sister, why is Grandpa kneeling?" Yu Mai turned to look at Old Master Tong and then glanced at Yu Dong, his eyes exceptionally clear as he continued, " We should forgive him, see he is crying."
His words caused Old Madam Yu to kneel on the ground with her hands covering her face as she sobbed incessantly. Her poor grandson, such a good child ruined in the hands of that evil mer!
" You see that?" Yu Dong caressed Yu Mai's hair and then turned to look at Shen Li before asking him to take Yu Mai away. She did not wish to startle Yu Mai anymore than he already was, Shen Li nodded and agreed. He really did not wish to come here but Old Master Tong's screams were so loud that they attracted the attention of the kids and they rushed out before he could stop them.
Fortunately, he covered Yu Mai's ears before Old Master Tong screamed about how he killed Yu Hai and ruined Yu Mai's life. The poor child had suffered too many things already, there was no point in making his life any more bitter.
Lang Ru glazed at Old Master Tong with hatred filling her eyes. So this old mer was the reason why Yu Mai was like this, though Lang Ru did not hate Yu Mai's silly attitude, she did not like the idea of someone harming Yu Mai.
Even though Lang Ru was young when compared to the era in which she was living, she could be considered a young adult already and she was very much aware of what her feelings towards Yu Mai were, thus when she heard that Old Master Tong harmed Yu Mai, she already had her gaze fixed on him. Sooner or later, she will make this man pay.
Yu Dong on the other hand continued speaking, " Neither did I ask you to sleep with a strange woman, it was all you. So how am I ruining Yu Cheng's future prospects?"
Old Master Tong did not care that he had evoked the wrath of everyone, he only cared about the fact that his grandson's future was in danger. He clasped his hands together and then continued to sob piteously, " I know, I know… I was the one at fault but please leave my grandson alone. I was the one who was in the wrong but if you send me to the authorities then you will cause your mer uncle to be divorced and your aunt to be kicked out of her factory. She did not do anything wrong neither did your uncle… please for their sake forgive me."
" I promise that I will go and call for a priest for the peace of your mother. I will fix her grave with my own hands and I will also build an altar for your mother and father in my house. I will light incense in front of their altar every day …just leave me this time." 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
When the others heard Old Master Tong's words they also thought of Yu Zhang and Yu Le. These two were indeed innocent what were more Yu Hao and his brother will also be affected by this matter if it was known to others what was more their village's reputation will be ruined as well thus, the elders tried to make Yu Dong drop the matter.
Seeing that others were also speaking up for Old Master Tong, Yu Dong knew that she will not be able to put Old Master Tong on the gallows as an entire family will be ruined but she did not want to see Old Master Tong live an easy life after doing so much harm to Yu Mai and Yu Hai which was why she raised her hand and then said, " Fine, If you all don't want me to report this matter I won't… but…"
Her words caused Old Master Tong to heave a sigh of relief but then suck a breath back again as he looked at Yu Dong with a wary look in his eyes.
" I want him to marry Lin Tianhui."
