Chapter 701: Intoxicated Qiu Bai and his confession
" There is no way, you are setting him to take the fall!" Second Aunt Yu spoke up sounding utterly confident even when she was not feeling half as confident as she made herself look, she knew that her husband was once obsessed with the idea of harming her sister for she refused him when he wanted to marry her but no way in hell was he actually going around her back harming others in a way that will surely bring harm to their family.
Qiu Bai might have been one of the mers who were arrogant and did not know when to stop but he would not harm someone. There was no way he was going to harm anyone like that —— he would have at least cared for their son!
" Why are you getting so excited if you think I am just trying to set your husband up? It's fine as long as he is innocent right?" Yu Dong did not move her hands away from Qiu Bai's throat who glared at her as if he was wishing to see her die, which was a wonderful thing since she was hoping the same as well. " No one here is a fool who cannot understand right from wrong, just because you want to act like an ostrich and hide under the sand acting like nothing was wrong does not mean that others wouldn't want to know the truth either. A mer who killed innocent children and harmed his own kind, I believe many want to know whether such a mer exists."
Her words caused the villagers to take a sharp breath as they all unconsciously took a few steps away from Qiu Bai afraid that if he was really proven malicious he might try to harm them and their mers since he was cornered like a beast by Yu Dong. They all took several steps behind and some mers actually picked their kids up and then ran to their homes, they did not want their child to be in the presence of a mer as vicious as Qiu Bai.
All of this happened when Qiu Bai's crime was not even proven and seeing this Second Aunt Yu was so nervous that her palms were sweating. It was indeed a big matter if Qiu Bai really harmed Yu Dong's husbands and poisoned them such that the child in Fang Chi's belly would die, then she was worried that they will be treated like monsters even if she was to cut off Qiu Bai from her family.
" Yu Dong that will be enough, I think we should talk at home," No matter what she has to stop whatever that was going to take place now, her instincts were telling her that if she allowed this matter to escalate here and now, then surely she was going to lose more than her reputation!
With a smile on her face, Second Aunt Yu looked at Yu Dong who was sitting on the ground and then said, " This is a family issue why should we take care of this matter in front of the villagers lets go home and talk okay ?"
Even if Qiu Bai was proven guilty she will kneel and beg in front of her mother even though her mother was disappointed in her there was no way she was going to watch her grandson be ruined right? She will stop that from happening, whether or not Qiu Bai was the culprit, this was not the place for them to discuss something as severe as the matter of him poisoning.
Second Aunt Yu did not know that her heart was already sinking since she knew that her husband was more than obsessed with the idea of making her sister regret, even though he acted as if he was fine she knew the truth and Second Aunt Yu did not want to accept it now that they were in this situation.
" I do not wish for him to turn around and deny what he confessed in front of me behind closed walls," replied Yu Dong who did not even raise her head and continued to stare at Qiu Bai whose eyes were turning dazed upon gazing into Yu Dong's eyes. He did not even know what was happening to him but suddenly he felt his mind swoon as his world tipped and then he was standing in front of Yu Dong's mother, Yu Ming.
The woman was as graceful as she has been when she was alive, her skin as white as snow with eyes that were gentle and kind. Her lips curled in a smile as she sat on a small stone stool with a table made from the same stone in front of her, her long fingers that were curled around the porcelain teapot were pouring tea into the cups that were placed in front of her.
Qiu Bai's eyes widened as he looked at the dead Yu Ming, he shook his head to make sure that he was not seeing things but the beautiful woman in front of him did not vanish, she stayed where she was and then chuckled softly. Her laughter sounded the same in his ears as it did years ago, it was her smile that made him fall for her. He wanted to see the woman smile only for him which was why he made a hell lot of ruckus to make sure that he would be able to marry her.
" Yu Ming…" he opened his lips and called the woman out but then his vision that was blinded by the shimmering light and the flowers and bees that were around Yu Ming cleared and he saw another person. The one mer whom he has hated and envied all his life, he stared at Brother Hao and his eyes that were filled with affection just a moment ago turned green with envy as he looked at Yu Ming and her husband before shouting loudly, " You are having tea with your beloved in the underworld, really? Yu Ming, you really have lost your touch. Do you know, that I, Qiu Bai made sure that your entire family line is killed off?"
