"That is not all," sneered Xiao Zimo as he spat the bone in his mouth on the plate in front of him. "We also sent a mammy to the Ji house to relay a stern message to the patriarch of the family that Brother Hua was already engaged. Do you know what the mer said to the mammy?"
’You are fortunate that my son is willing to take you as a bed slave. How dare you refuse him?’

’Unless you want to ruin yourself, you better agree with what my son wants. If my son gets angry because of your stupid stubbornness, you will not be able to pay for the consequences.’
’If you refuse to drink then I can force you to drink it at your forfeit! You are lucky that you are getting a status for now being an ex-courtesan. If you continue refusing them humph, you might as well be prepared!’
"Wow, he sounds really arrogant," Chen Mi remarked with a whistle and received a blow on the back of his head for acting like a hooligan by Ye Liu.
Ye Liu sighed and then turned to look at Xiao Hua, "There must be a reason why that mer is this confident. Without a powerful backing, that mer would not dare to make such powerful claims."
The way the mer was speaking was as if he was the one who ruled the Big River Town and could do anything that he wanted.
"Isn’t that right?" Xiao Hua shook his head with a heavy sigh as he cupped his face. Sometimes being too beautiful was also dangerous and troublesome. Should he make a scar on his face? Maybe that way he would stop inviting trouble to Yu Dong.
"I can still protect you," seeing the frown on Xiao Hua’s face, Yu Dong more or less knew what was going on in his head. She patted him on the back of his hand and said, "Just tell me who is the one backing that family."
Xiao Hua hesitated before opening his mouth and answering. However, his voice was too small and Yu Dong did not hear it well.

"What did you say ?"
"The magistrate!" Xiao Hua raised his voice. He sighed and then said to Yu Dong, "That mer is the brother of Li Wan and was married to the Ji family. Since he is the magistrate’s brother, he is used to running rampant."
Li Zhe was not as smart or wise as Li Wan. He was just a mer who knew how to play, shop and gossip all day long. But he knew that his sister was the magistrate and he could do anything that he wanted.
Even though Li Wan had sometimes warned the mer, he was her biological brother and was doted on by the Old Master Li.
Because he was married off to this place, Old Master Li catered for his son even more.
Now that the Li family had escaped to this city, one could say that Li Zhe was getting more and more bold with the backing of his family.
As for Ji Jiangang, he also knew that his aunt was the magistrate, so how could he be any better than his father?
He treated people as he wanted and did not care about anything.
"With such a character, he became the top scholar? I thought that character was more important when it came to becoming a scholar," sneered Yu Dong. But she knew that no matter what times she was living in, those who held the official post would always have it easier than the commoners. She snorted in her heart and decisively turned to look at Lang who stood behind her like a guard.
"Go to the county magistrate’s office and submit an application. I am going to buy a second-rank official’s post," Yu Dong sneered as she added, "And also pass down the orders that the Li and the Ji family members are now blacklisted from all the shops and malls that are opened under my name."
********
Ji Jiangang did not know what kind of trouble he had caused for his aunt. He was currently lying in his bed dreaming of Xiao Hua’s supple body pressed against him.
He knew that even if Xiao Hua refused him, sooner or later that mer would have to serve him well in the bed!
"I cannot let this go!"
He was lost in his thoughts when he heard his brother-in-law’s cry. Startled and angry at the mer for causing his daydream to come to a halt.
Ji Jiangang got out of bed and then headed out of his room. With his lips pursed in a thin line, he shouted at the mer,
"What is wrong with you? Why are you screaming like that?" Ji Jiangang cursed the mer for being simply lawless.
In the past Huo Hannian would have silently swallowed this scolding but not anymore. He turned to look at Ji Jiangang, "What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? Who did you offend little brother? Do you know I went to the mall to purchase meat and vegetables but the guard chased me away? When I asked what was wrong, he told me that I should go back home and ask you."
The entire Ji family relied on the mall that was opened in the town to survive. They were a family of officials and scholars, they did not know how to grow vegetables and did not know how to raise livestock either.
Even the well in their house was running low on water as the entire family didn’t take the drought seriously because of the mall.
But now Huo Hannian was told that his family was blacklisted!
And that too because of Ji Jiangang!
How could he stay quiet?
The mer did not doubt the words of the guard at all as he knew that Ji Jiangang was indeed someone who offended people left and right.
However, never did Huo Hannian expect that this man would actually offend the owner of the mall!
