Seeing the crowd in front of her house, Old Madam Rong felt a cold sweat break out all over her forehead and spine. She was really worried that if they made a mistake then the one to suffer would be their family!
In case the matter of them taking the ration and fund of a pregnant son-in-law came to light then she might as well forget about letting any mer marry her granddaughters! Though Old Madam Rong knew that Old Master Rong had been bringing orphans to their family she wanted to marry at least a decent mer from a good family to Rong Yusha and her sister who were born by the official husband.
As for the granddaughters born by the mer concubines, they can marry those orphans!
No. She couldn't allow this matter to escalate, she had to think of a way to make Rong Yi take the blame!
With that thought in her head, she immediately turned to look at Rong Yi who was standing next to Yu Dong and roared, " You unfilial daughter! Kneel for me!"
Old Madam Rong's momentum was really fast, a second ago she was standing in front of the door of the house, and the next second she was in front of Rong Yi. Her hand was raised in the air and everyone could see that she was going to slap Rong Yi, this sight was something that everyone had seen many times in the past and was not shocked at all.
But what shocked them was that before Old Madam Rong could slap Rong Yi, her hand was blocked by Yu Dong.
" Aren't you in a hurry?" Yu Dong clicked her tongue as she flicked Old Madam Rong's hand away causing the old woman to stumble a little. " I haven't even said anything and you are already screaming in my ear, want to make me deaf? Can you afford it?" As she spoke Yu Dong used her small finger to clean her ear which was still ringing after hearing Old Madam Rong's scream.
How could Old Madam Rong not see that Yu Dong was protecting Rong Yi? She was a smart woman and knew what was going on at once. Old Madam Rong turned to look at Rong Yi and glared at her unhappily just what did this girl say to Yu Dong?
" Village owner, why are you here? This is our family matter, you …you don't have to get involved in this," Old Madam Rong was frightened when she saw Yu Dong catching hold of her hand, what was more she had a feeling that if Yu Dong hadn't control her strength, she would have definitely twisted her wrist just now.
Old Madam Rong was rather upset upon seeing a junior acting like this in front of her but she couldn't do anything to Yu Dong now.
Who asked her to be the Village owner? She could not provoke her!
Yu Dong lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Old Madam Rong with a mocking look in her eyes as she coldly said, " This matter is no longer the matter of the Rong family. You might not know but these actions of stealing and selling the ration and money had caused me a lot of trouble."
" The fund that is given to young mers who are pregnant comes from the magistrate's office, with the money taken and distributed only for the mer to die, do you have any idea how much trouble it will bring? Magistrate Li handed the funds to my account and suggested since we don't want the death of pregnant mers reduce the number of still borne."
" I thought that such funds would be handed over to the pregnant mers without any resistance because people's hearts are not made of stone, how can anyone dare to steal the food in front of a pregnant mer's mouth? But what happened today has really opened my eyes, there are indeed beasts hiding between us."
When Yu Dong called Old Madam Rong and her husband beasts, their expression changed. They knew that Yu Dong was suspecting them and this was why she was scolding them while speaking indirectly.
Old Madam Rong's expression twisted she wanted to say something but then decided not to say anything. Instead, she turned to look at her husband whose face was pale and her heart couldn't help but clench tightly. Old Master Rong was very close to her heart and thus she couldn't see him getting troubled, which was why Old Madam Rong breathed in and then turned to look at Yu Dong before saying,
" Villager owner, I know that you are upset but this has nothing to do with my family," Old Madam Rong said with a stern voice. She looked at Rong Yi with a glaring pair of eyes and then continued speaking, " The one who took the fund is responsible for it, how can it be blamed on us if it goes missing? Who knows who had a villainous heart and made trouble in between?"
Old Madam Rong did not know that the matter was this serious, the fund was taken from the magistrate's office which means that they would have to suffer severe consequences! How could she allow this to happen?
Rong Yi waited for her heart to feel heavy after the words of her mother but to her surprise, she found out that she was unnaturally calm. Not only did she feel not hurt but she was also completely unperturbed by the words of her mother. Unknowingly, she got used to her mother's indifference and prejudice which was why it no longer hurt Rong Yi anymore.
Seeing that Old Madam Rong was going to act shameless till the end, Yu Dong was not surprised. She simply looked at Lang who nodded and then headed towards the Rong house which startled Old Madam Rong and Old Master Rong, what was going on?
" Village Owner this——" Old Madam Rong began but was interrupted by Yu Dong who narrowed her eyes at her and calmly stated, " You don't need to worry.
Since you have done nothing wrong then even if you a search happens we will find nothing…" she then curled her lips into a small smirk and added, " You might not know this but the taels offered by the magistrate office has a code underneath which makes it different than the normal ones, we just need to check that code to make it clear who is in the wrong."
