Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 53 - [Bonus ] Not That Fast
Yu Dong was indeed really angry, her temper hardly ever flared up but when it did, it was terrible. As a spiritual cultivator, Yu Dong needed to control her temper, because when she got angry, she lost control of her powers. Just like right now, because Yu Dong lost control of her usually calm powers became a frantic mess. Trees in the forest fluttered, while the moon slowly hid underneath dark clouds, casting gloomy darkness at the foothill of the mountain.
Thunder lightning crackled and the crowd that was excited just a minute ago suddenly calmed down. Though neither of them linked the sudden changes with Yu Dong they still felt that whatever was happening was simply crazy! The weather was completely fine a minute ago, then how come it turned stormy within seconds?
Realising that she lost control of her emotions, Yu Dong inhaled a sharp breath to calm herself down. She was afraid that if she really lost control then Qiu Bai would no longer be a white momo but instead become a piece of dark charcoal! She eased her breathing and finally calmed most of her emotions though she was still annoyed, it wasn't to the point where she would kill someone in anger " Uncle in law, I call you Uncle because I don't want to be called unfilial and be accused of being disrespectful to my elders but - just because I'm being respectful doesn't mean that you can say anything you want. At least think before you speak, your baseless remarks can ruin someone's life !"
Qiu Bai trembled, he couldn't believe that Yu Dong who once stood silent in front of him no matter how much he scolded her would one day refute him by asking him to think before he spoke! How dare she! Qiu Bai felt sullen and his chest was stuffy with anger, as he scrambled to speak " what do you mean by think before I speak? I just don't want you guys to indulge yourself in immoral acts! As your elder, I find it shameful that even after being married to three mers you still laid your hands on an unmarried mer, is there anything right about this?"
" You..." began Grandma Fang as she rushed forward to slap Qiu Bai's dirty mouth but she was stopped by Yu Dong who held her back.
" Grandma Fang you don't need to bother about this kind of people" then turning to look at Qiu Bai sharply, Yu Dong spoke up " look at that, who is talking about committing immoral acts. Uncle in law before saying such things at least remember what you did in the past at least, weren't you the one who kicked me and my husbands out of the house, Just a week after my parents died? You snatched the house that was built from my mother's money and dumped my family in the abandoned hut! You didn't even stop to think about Chen Mi who was pregnant at that time. If I were you I wouldn't be running my mouth like this"
Though Yu Dong's wasn't as sharp-tongued as the other villagers. She spoke facts straightforwardly without giving her rival a chance to retort, therefore pushing the other person to the point where they couldn't think of anything to speak anymore.
The same could be said for Qiu Bai, though his spleen was full of anger he couldn't say anything and just stood in front of Yu Dong silently. He really didn't know how to retort her, because what she said was the truth, he indeed took the house that should have gone to Yu Dong and kicked her out. He thought that as Yu Dong was nothing but a hooligan no one would say he was in the wrong but now - he slowly looked around and sure enough a few mers were looking at him with judgemental glares while Grandma Fang was staring at him as if she wanted to gobble him up and then spit him out. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦
However, Yu Dong wasn't done, she gazed at Qiu Bai and the crowd in front of her coldly and remarked in a chastising manner " it's fine if you don't want to use your head but at least use your eyes, Can't you see the vibrant red virginity mark on Fang Chi's neck? Before you speak at least look properly !"
The mers of this world had their virginity mark on their necks, which made it convenient for anyone to check their innocence.
" and if you can't see the mark then at least look at our clothes! They are clean and completely unruffled, they are not messed at all if we really did something immoral, then do you think we would look so clean and impeccable? " said Yu Dong with a soft chuckle " you all need to understand that you can look at anything carelessly but you can't speak without properly thinking before, it's embarrassing if you do this. Do you need any more evidence of our innocence or do you want me and Fang Chi to jump down the river to prove our innocence? But if something happens then you all better take care of my husbands after I leave"
Jump in the river? The crowd of onlookers were stunned. If Yu Dong really did this and something happened then who will take care of her three husbands? Not to mention she also had a child and a younger brother! If those five young mers died of starvation after Yu Dong leave then who will shoulder this sin? 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
The people in this era were superstitious and they didn't want to do anything that might bring them bad luck. So they didn't even dare to say anything and looked away, just now they were excited because of this newfound explosive gossip but now they were scared. What if their gossip really pushed Yu Dong and Fang Chi to the edge where they end up taking some drastic steps?
" you... You are just trying to cover up the matter" Qiu Bai saw that he couldn't drag Yu Dong down anymore and panicked. He needed to blame her or else- or else if his father in law found out that he made a scene yet got nothing in return he might really break his legs! " fine you didn't do anything like that but who can vouch that you did nothing? Maybe you did something like a kiss -"
" that will be enough Uncle in law" Shen Li who had rushed here after hearing about the matter from one of the villagers, interrupted Qiu Bai unhappily. Though he spoke in a polite tone, it could be seen that he wasn't happy with Qiu Bai's nonsensical words " it's true that my wife's character is not the cleanest but she still knows that she needs to keep away from other mers. She didn't cross the line with other mers when she was drunk so how can she cross that line when she is completely sober ?"
The previous Yu Dong did tease the unmarried mers but that was it. She never tried to take liberties with them nor did she touch them inappropriately. She did have the thought to do so but she lacked courage, which was why she was never kicked out of the village. If she really did something so despicable then she wouldn't have been allowed to stay in the village!
"Exactly, " said Ye Liu as he gulped " Wife would never do such things whether drunk or sober. She knows how important a mer's reputation is and - she only left the house twenty minutes ago, she is not that fast - ah" shrieked Ye Liu when Shen Li elbowed him in the ribs " I mean, It's too fast, nothing could happen in this small amount of time"
" ahem, you heard that.... My husbands trust me, and I indeed left the house just a few minutes ago if you don't trust my husbands' words then you can ask the aunty in my neighbour, she saw me leave as well" ignoring the 'not too fast ' comment Yu Dong spoke.
" she is speaking the truth, I saw her leave fifteen minutes ago " Aunt Lu who was dragged to the crime scene by Shen Li and Ye Liu assented.
"Heard that ?" said Ye Liu proactively
Qiu Bai looked at Yu Dong with a look full of bitterness but said nothing, he knew that tonight he won't be able to drag Yu Dong down. So he harumphed and left with a sway of his willowy hips.
So what if they were innocent? As long as he said they weren't, then they weren't! He would definitely have Yu Dong marry that poor mer, as long as she was dragged down by these mers, she can forget about doing well! Humph, only his Yu Cheng deserved such good luck.
