Chapter 700: Intoxicated Qiu Bai and his confession
Second Aunt Yu swallowed harshly as she looked at her husband, she did not know what he might have done but from Yu Dong's aggressive attitude she was sure that he must have done something that crossed all lines or else she would not have lost her patience like this but this was not Second Aunt Yu's concern. The only thing she was concerned about was Yu Dong handing her the shares of the oil mill, Second Aunt Yu knew that she was playing with fire but in her current circumstances, she had no other choice!
" I don't know what you are talking about Yu Dong," Second Aunt Yu realised that she needed to tip the opinions and favours of the crowd in her direction before everything went haywire. In her head, no matter what Qiu Bai must have done it could not be that bad after all he was just a mer what harm could he even bring? This was why she was confident that even if Qiu Bai crossed all lines, he might have at most cursed Fang Chi who lost his child and nothing else. " I understand that you are upset because you lost your child but you cannot just attack your elder because he said something harsh."
Second Aunt Yu's words caused many villagers to agree with her, Qiu Bai might have gone overboard with what he said but he never did anything too out of the line which was why Yu Dong hitting him made zero sense to the villagers at the moment.
" You think that he is getting hit because he said something harsh ?" Yu Dong snickered as she looked up at Second Aunt Yu while sitting on the floor and keeping Qiu Bai who was on the ground restrained, she hitched a brow and then leaned forward as she sneered at Second Aunt Yu. " If that is what you think then I am afraid you have no idea what kind of snake you were living with all these years."
Yu Dong turned to look at Qiu Bai who was pretending to be unconscious and then raised her hand causing the crowd to yelp again but instead of punching him again, she placed her fingers around his throat and choked hard causing the 'unconscious' Qiu Bai to cough and sputter as he woke up and glared at Yu Dong who was smiling at him with a crazy glint in her eyes.
" Yu Dong, you are going too far!" Even if Second Aunt Yu did not care about Qiu Bai, she could not allow Yu Dong to hurt her husband like this, her choking Qiu Bai was similar to her slapping her on the face! She was Yu Dong's elder and yet her niece was punching and choking her husband right in front of her. What kind of face will she be left with once everyone finds out that she was embarrassed like this by her own niece?
" Let go of him!" Second Aunt Yu tried to get to Yu Dong and pull her away when the latter turned her head and called, " Lang, make sure no one disturbs me for the next few minutes."
As soon as she finished speaking Lang who was standing calmly on the side walked forward and then caught hold of Second Aunt Yu who was trying to pull Yu Dong away. Lang caught Second Aunt Yu's arms and twisted them and then clasped them behind Second Aunt Yu's back causing the woman to wince and Old man Tong whose eyes were already as wide as saucers to jump in the air as he pointed to Lang and Yu Dong before shouting, " You two! You...You are going too far! They are your elders so how can you treat them like this? I am going to make sure that you both are sent to Yamen just you wait."
Even though Old man Tong was panting and screaming like a hen whose neck was clutched by someone, Yu Dong did not pay too much attention to him, instead, she looked at Qiu Bai who was on the floor and then raised her lips in a dangerous smile as she said, " You might have missed the finer points when you were pretending to be unconscious but I will ask you something and you better answer me correctly, were you the one who poisoned my husbands, ex uncle?"
As soon as Yu Dong's words fell everyone including Old Master Tong and Second Aunt Yu turned silent. Not even a peep could be heard as they all turned to look at Qiu Bai who was on the ground, they, of course, knew that Yu Dong's husbands were poisoned by someone but the culprit was never caught since the matter happened ages ago but now Yu Dong was saying that Qiu Bai was the one who poisoned her husbands, if what she was saying was the truth then …then this Qiu Bai was rather scary!
Second Aunt Yu was stunned as well, she had never once, not even in her wildest thought imagined that something like this was even possible. Qiu Bai poisoned someone? The mer who has always acted as a slightly annoying yet decent husband actually poisoned someone?
A shiver danced down her spine when she thought about what was going to happen to her family and especially her son if what Yu Dong said was the truth. A scholar's reputation was the most important thing in his career, if Qiu Bai was proven a murderer then she was afraid that her son would be affected the most!
