” What should we do now?” The woman asked her colleague, the reason she was this arrogant with Jiang Fenhua was because she knew that the mer will simply lower his head and listen to everything that they have to say to him, who would have thought that the mer will actually turn around and run away? More importantly, he was carrying the child of their master! If something happened to him then they will not be able to get away with their lives!

The other guard was also feeling stumped, all she said was a few words, true she might have exaggerated a bit here and there but all that mer needed to do was to stand outside, in fact, he was in the wrong as well, a decent mer who knew what his wife’s reputation was worth will return home before the sun sets but he returned when the moon was shining way up in the sky and when they gave him the punishment that was due, he turned his back on them and ran away? On what basis?

He was the one who was in the wrong anyway! Whom he was kidding? If J this was another house he would have been asked to kneel and then beg until their mistress was willing to let him in but they only asked him to stand outside for a few minutes and he threw a tantrum!

Who was the one who was wrong here anyway?

The senior guard thought over everything carefully before she pursed her lips and then said in a grim voice, ” Master Jiang never returned home, if someone asks you anything just say that he was never here.”

Though the senior guard knew that she was undertaking a rather serious risk here but when she thought about her master did not care about that mer and will believe what she tells her the senior guard was more at ease, she did not think that there was anything wrong with what she was saying, now that mer had run away there was no way her mistress would chase after him all to bring him back and most probably leave him alone and when she was in moos to bring him back, she will just drag him from whichever hole he was hiding.

In short, there was nothing for her to fear about!

When the junior guard heard about it, she wanted to say that this was not the correct way to deal with the situation but when she thought about how her life will be put online if she does not deal with this matter properly she decided that she was going to follow what her senior was telling her, anyway she was just a junior there was no way she will be pushed to take the majority of responsibility right?

With that thought in her head even the junior guard placed her heart at ease.

On the other hand, Jiang Fenhua had no idea that the two women came up with such a way to handle with the matter of him running away but even if he did he would not have cared after all, this was not the first time they will be throwing the mud at him.

Lang brought Jiang Fenhua back and Yu Dong was not even surprised when she saw the mer return with a sullen look on his face, she did not say anything nor did she ask what happened at the Qiao Manor instead she urged him to go to sleep but when Jiang Fenhua saw that Yu Dong was preparing something, he did not go to sleep instead he looked at the transparent white raw fish that was plated on a large plate and asked, ” What is this?”

Yu Dong blinked her eyes as she raised her head and smiles at Jiang Fenhua as she replied, “It’s called fugu,” however upon seeing the curious look in the eyes of Jiang Fenhua, she hurriedly added, “Pregnant mers cannot eat it.”

Hearing Yu Dong’s words Jiang Fenhua was slightly upset but he still sighed and then turned to walk inside the room while looking at his belly.

” Are you looking at this? I need to sacrifice so much for you, if you grow up and then follow that annoying mother of yours, then you might as well grow up with thick buttocks!” Jiang Fenhua scolded his child lightly who remained calm since he could not sense the danger that was heading his or her way.

Though Jiang Fenhua thought that it was quite a shame that he could not eat the thing called fugu he was too tired to think about it anymore and then went to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

On the other hand, Yu Dong who used her spiritual energy to deal with the poison of the fugu took the large plate on which she had placed the sliced pieces of the fish and then went to sit outside the outstretched wooden platform that overlooked the backyard and the sky that was lit up with the moonlight.

” I heard someone’s voice, was there someone looking for you?” Shen Li who was sitting on the side raised his head and looked at Yu Dong who placed the porcelain plate between them and sat down, Chen Mi and Ye Liu sitting on the side as well while Fang Chi and Xiao Hua who were tired were already asleep.

Yu Dong sighed as she poured some wine into her glass and then leaned her head on Shen Li’s shoulder before saying, “It’s nothing … I will tell you everything in the morning but for now let’s enjoy this small peace that we have stolen for ourselves.”

She did not want to hide from her husbands that Jiang Fenhua was here but they were often too busy dealing with this and that … she did not want to miss this small peace that she had found for themselves by bringing the troubles of others up.
