Yu Dong felt the danger before Qiao Sha glared at her, she immediately wrenched her hand out of Zhou Ming's grasp and smiled politely as she waved Zhou Ming's praise aside, this was the great buddha that Marquis Qiao loved and doted on, she cannot bear the pressure of his praises and idolising, ah!" it's nothing that great about, my skills are just average it's nothing to boast about at all"
'So please don't look at me with those starry eyes! Your wife is drilling a hole in my forehead !' cried Yu Dong inwardly but of course, she didn't dare to say it out loud in case she lit up another firecracker and stepped on a major land mine again!
However, Zhou Ming who was a fanatic when it came to fur and its quality, didn't catch her pleading gaze. Instead, when he heard Yu Dong's humble words he immediately clapped his hands as he excitedly chimed " so humble! Master is really a good person! To think you would be so polite. The quality of the fur you hunted is the best, at least the best I have seen and I can assure you that my country sells the best fur in this empire not that I am trying to boast!"
Yu Dong felt sweat dripping down from her forehead, she threw a softball only to receive a hard one. This Zhou Ming was really quite a fur lover, he could even differentiate between the quality of fur with ease!
Yu Dong felt the intensity of Qiao Sha's glare double and her back ended up getting soaked in a cold sweat. Why was Qiao Sha blaming her? From which eye did she see her flirting with Zhou Ming? Why should she be the one who had to foot this bill? She already had three husbands and couldn't take care of any more!
How could Yu Dong know that Qiao Sha was a husband loving maniac though she had made a mistake and ended up getting schemed, she liked Zhou Ming the most. So she naturally won't blame her husband, instead, she dumped the entire vat of blame on Yu Dong and glared at her angrily.
Luckily, Lang who was helped up by Zhu Qian came towards them and knelt in front of them, which broke the one-sided battle of jealousy.
When Lang knelt in front of her Yu Doing was surprised. She hurriedly helped Lang while Zhou Ming helped Zhu Qian up. Zhou Ming was more used to such things happening in front of him, so he patted Zhu Qian's hand and smiled " there is no need for you to do something like this, as the Marchioness I must stand up against justice. That's the duty I must be living up to, so no need for such formal thank you"
" that's right, I too just stood up against the justice nothing more, there is no need for this," said Yu Dong agreeing with Zhou Ming and receiving another hateful glare on the back of her head. Seriously? How much knee-deep was this marquis in vinegar?
Lang opened her mouth as she shook her head " you saved my daughter's life and saved my husband from being dragged away to a dark pit, And Qian told me that you were the one who bought our goats despite them being sick and saved my life as well. I really have no idea how to thank you - if not for you my family would have been ruined. Even if I give my life up for you I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to repay you " Lang wanted to repay Yu Dong for every bit of her kindness but she had nothing in her hands now, she had no land, she had no money - even her life now belonged to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong shook her head and patted Lang on her shoulder " there is no need for you to repay me, just remember to do your duty well and keep on living a happy life with your daughter and husband if you do that, then I won't regret saving you"
Lang didn't open her mouth, she was afraid that if she tried to speak right now, she might start brawling like a baby. She was a grown-up woman, how could she cry like a child?
Lang's daughter who was lying inside the carriage after almost burning up with fever, even the doctor had diagnosed her as a hopeless case because her treatment had been delayed time and time again , she slowly opened her eyes. And with a very weak voice called Zhu Qian " father.."
Zhu Qian who heard his daughter's voice after three days of nonsensical muttering was startled at first but then he started sobbing endlessly as he rushed to his child " the heavens have eyes, not only they punished the evil they even saved my daughter! "
Even Lang rushed to her daughter " Ru'er are you feeling alright? Does anything hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Lang supported her husband who had thrown himself in her arms as he cried tears of joy.
Lang Ru saw her father cry and barely managed to squeeze out a small smile on her malnourished face and even though her throat was parched because of fever, she still replied despite all the difficulties " I'm alright mother, father...you, you don't cry. Blame Ru'er, Ruru is such an unfilial child making her parents worry unnecessarily"
" it's my fault, it's my fault - I shouldn't have fought with your aunt, if not he wouldn't have kicked us all out and you wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate" Zhu Qian was crying so much that his eyes turned swollen, the entire day was like a roller coaster ride for him. He nearly lost his daughter and wife and even his chastity was on the line! If he really lost his daughter today, he might have as well have died then and there! She was his only child who survived!
Yu Dong noticed that the young girl was awake so she hurriedly walked over to her side, as she checked her fever. Though her spiritual energy have healed the little girl she was still weak, she took out the spiritual water that she carried with her and helped Lang Ru drink it " here, you must be thirsty. Your fever was no joke, you should drink some water to soak your parched throat. " the water instilled with her spiritual energy not only healed grave wounds but also nourished one's body or else her skinny monkeys wouldn't have gotten healthy and chubby with just food.
Lang Ru didn't know who Yu Doing was but she had heard most of the ruckus that was going on while she was unconscious. She knew that Yu Dong saved her and her parents and she was really grateful for that, in the future, she will definitely repay Yu Dong( of course you will ). She took the pouch from Yu Dong and drank a mouthful of water, feeling all her dizziness vanish in an instant!
Wow-what kind of fairy water was this?
