1025 Yu Dong is worried because little bun is not crawling Madam Lian looked at the money that she had to cough out and her heart ached. With her eyes flickering left and right, she started to think everything carefully, since Jiang Fenhua was not willing to let her be the manager of this shop anymore, there was no need for her to cough out the money.

She was going to leave silently without returning a single penny.

Jiang Fenhua knew what Madam Lian was thinking. His expression turned dark as he glared at Madam Lian before lowering his voice and saying, ” Madam Lian, you know that I am the husband of the Marquis Qiao right? I even gave birth to a daughter for her, as long as I use my daughter, I can ask my wife to do anything. In case anyone betrays me or takes my money away, I don’t think it will be too hard for me to send the guards after those who dare to scam me, what do you say ?”

Though Jiang Fenhua did not say it straightforwardly, Madam Lian understood what he was trying to tell her. He was warning her to not even think about running away as he would send the Yamen guards after her.

Though Madam Lian had saved enough money, she still needed to earn and she also had a family, if she was hunted down by yamen guards how would she survive?

Madam Lian’s expression turned twisted after she was threatened by Jiang Fenhua. Anger appeared in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and then said to Jiang Fenhua, ” Are you threatening me?” n)

” No, I am telling you a fact,” Jiang Fenhua’s voice was filled with disdain. ” I was going to ask you for just half of the money but now that you are acting like this, it would be better if you cough everything up.” He lost his patience after being glared at by Madam Lian and then said firmly, ” You are going to cough out every penny that you owe me before this shop is closed, otherwise … you know what I can do.”

He then stood up from the chair and then turned to leave.

What was more they shared the stream with the Big Mountain Village and thus the stream was getting smaller with no rain to make it plump anymore.

Yu Dong was not surprised by this information, she knew that the summers of this year were not going to be kind to the farmers. Sometimes even she couldn’t help but wonder if it was because the Empress was dead and an undeserving person was sitting on the throne.

Though she was not a superstitious person, she knew that the grudge carried by those who died unjustly was not something that could be treated lightly. What was more, everything went down the drain ever since the Empress was killed and preserved to be used like a puppet.

Lang Ru told her that the Empress died before winter and yet her corpse was laid on the bed of her bedchamber being treated as if she was a patient.

It would be a surprise if the late Empress did not curse her unfilial daughter. It’s just that the entire nation had to suffer because of one incapable ruler.

” I have called a few more well diggers, they should be arriving by next morning,” said Yu Dong as she watched Little Bun crawling towards her, she crouched down and then picked him up with worry lines coating her face.

It wasn’t because of the drought but because Little Bun’s birthday was just around the corner and he was yet to start walking! Just how long was he going to crawl?
