944 A heartless mer’s secrets——2
---------------
" AHH! Don't touch me, I confess alright? I will confess! I am not carrying Yu Dong Lin's child, it's Lin Tianhui's! As for the bears, I found out from Old Hu whose mother was a huntress back when she was alive, she came to our house to warn us that there were bears in the mountains and asked me to tell everyone since she was heading out of the house and to the town to sell the elk which she had hunted, I... I held back the information and deliberately arranged everything! Stop! Stop! Don't take my soul, I beg you, I will repent! My grandson is going to become an imperial official, let me go!"
When Old Master Tong saw that the ghost was stretching out his hands and holding his neck, the fear in his heart started to bubble froth and he couldn't hold on anymore as he screamed in fright and started to sob bitterly while kneeling on the ground.
" Enough!" Yu Dong turned to look at Old Madam Yu whose face was twisted with her fists clenched tight. From the looks of it, Old Madam Yu was trying her best to restrain her temper as she looked at the mer who was sobbing on the ground.
Tonight, she had finally seen through Old Master Tong's fake mask which he wore for so long completely, this mer was selfish through and through and. Back then when he came to her house with her aunt, he had been generous and kind, and he also treated her husbands and children well thus when her aunt suggested her to take Old Master Tong as her husband, she agreed since she thought that the mer had some virtue and was a kind-hearted person.
However, Old Master Tong was acting throughout the entire time. When she thought of how she had allowed this mer to ruin her daughter's entire household, Old Madam Yu felt her heart stifle and her heart squeezed in pain, she could not even withstand it and almost fainted. To think that her most talented daughter was indirectly killed by this mer only because she had treated her second husband well.
" Stop your father, is this not enough of a joke!" Old Madam Yu turned to look at Second Aunt Yu and reprimanded her severely. This was the first time, Second Aunt Yu had seen her mother getting angry, in the past when she was angry, she only showed indifference and never raised her voice but this time around one could see just how furious Old Madam Yu really was, at this moment she no longer looked as jovial and good-natured as she usually did.
While she spoke she turned to look at Old Madam Li and added, " Stop your daughter from running, Old Li. She dared to sleep with my ex-husband and cheat on me with him… she had put quite a big green hat on my head and yet wanted to push her seed on my head? How can she leave just like that?"
Old Madam Li and her husband wanted their daughter to escape but before she could even take a step away, she was caught by Old Madam Yu. Though Old Madam Li was angry at her daughter for messing around with someone like Old Master Tong, she still couldn't watch her daughter fall into a pit right?
She heaved a heavy breath and then said with an awkward smile, " Old Yu, there is no need for you to push the blame on my daughter, right? She is still young… if anything it must be your husband who seduced her."
" Ooh ho, if Lin Tianhui is a child, then I am a baby," Yu Dong mocked from the side as she looked at the woman who was hiding behind her parents. " She is three older than me, Old Madam Lin. I am pretty sure if I understood my responsibility when I became a mother, your daughter did too … at least she was well aware of what she was doing."
As she spoke she took her power back and Old Master Tong who was howling till now suddenly stopped twitching as he turned to look at Second Aunt Yu and muttered, " He said that he will come back, what should I do? What should I do?" He was terrified out of his wits!
On the hand, Second Aunt Yu was simply furious, she rolled her eyes and then stated, " You need to worry about the living rather than the dead, Father." She paused and then sneered, " You are really smart, aren't you? You even dared to lie to me and say that it was Mother who assaulted you when it was you who framed her."
Old Master Tong was dishevelled from head to toe when he heard his daughter's words, his eyes flashed with fear but then as his gaze fell on the villagers and Li Tianhui who was glaring at him, his pupils shrunk.. did he …did he run out in the village and screamed those words out loud?
Did they hear everything? From Lin Tianhui's glare, it seemed that they indeed have heard everything.
Old Master Tong felt his heart stifle as he turned to look at Old Madam Yu who was looking at him with disgust in her eyes and then pleaded softly, " Sister Dong Lin, listen to me … I did not wish to cheat on you … I was momentarily confused and because you did not pay attention to me … I... I promise to be kind and loyal to you but please accept me… I can not do without you." As he spoke he reached out to hug Old Madam Yu's thigh.
" Enough! Tong Li! Enough!" Old Madam Yu couldn't handle it anymore so she kicked the mer away, at this moment she could not care less about the fact that this mer was her husband whom she lived with for more than ten years and that he might get hurt if she was to hit him too harshly. " I don't think that I am daring enough to bring a mer as you again in my house. I am afraid that if you were to step inside my house again, then I will lose even more people I care about! How dare you even spit those words out? I took you in because no one was marrying you, you were nothing but an old shoe on the rack and you dared to hurt my daughter and tried to kill her bloodline?"
