Chapter 1302 Bullying them (2)
Yu Dong had conceded the one thing that both Old Madam Yu and Second Madam Yu were worried about. Though she did not care so much about bloodline and virtue, it was clear that both Old Madam Yu and Second Madam Yu cared about it. However, for the sake of Yu Tong, Old Madam Yu was willing to overlook the lack of virtue of Lin Hanjing.
However, she was still a bit resistant to accepting Lin Hanjing’s daughter as she shared no blood with Yu Tong.
This was the reason why she came up with this condition, even though it was unfair… there was no such thing as perfect in this world.
Yu Tong couldn’t get everything that she wanted, they also needed to concede or else no one would get anything that they wanted.
When Old Madam Yu heard Yu Dong’s words, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Though she did not have anything against Lin Hanjing and his daughter she was still reluctant to let the daughter of Lin Hanjing inherit the properties of the Yu family.
Now that Yu Dong had set up this condition, she didn’t have to worry about anything.
Even Second Madam Yu was a bit relieved despite her reluctance. She looked at Yu Dong and questioned, “If I do not agree then?”
“Then we will take everything to the court,” Yu Dong coldly stated. “I have allowed you to act as you like because of Ah Tong. Since you are her mother, I haven’t done anything to you but if you continue to act like this, then I will have no other choice but to make a move.”
“I know that you can sue Ah Tong for being unfilial but so can I for trying to get the secrets of my business that have nothing to do with you.”
It was a double-edged sword, no matter who pulled or pushed, both of them would end up getting hurt.
Of course, Second Madam Yu also understood this, she pursed her lips and looked at Yu Dong who was waiting for her response.
“Fine,” Second Madam Yu agreed. She did not wish to accept Lin Hanjing as her son-in-law but she couldn’t possibly ignore Yu Dong’s threat as well. Since Yu Dong had collected evidence against her to use them when she wanted, Second Madam Yu could only accept the terms that were placed by Yu Dong in front of her.
However….
“Don’t think that I will accept this marriage,” Second Madam Lin sneered. She looked at Yu Dong who had made her accept a mer whom she hated with all her heart and then said, “Since you have used your cards against me, I have no choice but to agree. But don’t think that I will give them my blessing nor will I attend this wedding.
Let the village know that this wedding was held against my will and doesn’t have my blessings.”
With that, she strode out of the house.
Once she was gone, everyone heaved a sigh of relief but Old Madam Yu was a bit worried. She looked at Yu Dong and remarked, “If she doesn’t attend the wedding then everyone will talk down on Hanjing and Ah Tong.”
Even though Second Madam Yu was in the wrong, she was Yu Tong’s mother in the end. The fact that they have pushed her into accepting a marriage that she did not want was already bad enough but if she was to skip the wedding then who knows what kind of rumours there would be in the village.
“Then they have to face them,” Yu Dong rubbed her forehead feeling a bit tired. “There is no such thing as a bed of roses, if there are roses then there will be thorns. If they cannot even face something so simple as rumours then there is no need for them to get married.”
She sighed and then added, “However, there is no need for us to worry about this right now. Because there will be another trouble coming our way very soon.”

On the other side at the Murong’s Village. Your journey continues at empire
“What did you say? Miss Yu Tong did what?” Old Madam Murong questioned her daughter who returned to the village for lunch.
Murong Tai’s face was flushed red in anger as she replied, “She threatened to kill herself if she was not allowed to marry that mer who used to sell his body. Aren’t they looking down on our family, Mother? Second Madam Yu finalized the wedding with our Ah Si and just three to four days later, Miss Yu Tong is now engaged to marry a prostitute! Where will our Ah Si and our family put our faces?”
The reason Murong Tai agreed to this wedding was because Yu Tong was related to the Yu family.
She thought that having a connection with the Yu family would be really nice what was more, Yu Tong was Yu Dong’s only cousin. At least that way her brother wouldn’t have to worry about anything. As long as Yu Tong did not offend Yu Dong, the two of them would be able to live a comfortable life.
But four days later she found out that Yu Tong was in love with another mer and this was something that Second Madam Yu did not tell them!
“This is too much!” Old Madam Murong also felt humiliated. When she engaged her son to Yu Tong, she thought that he would obviously become the official husband of Yu Tong and rule over the second branch of the Yu family. But now that someone else was thrown into the mix, what would happen to her son?
Wouldn’t he be suppressed by someone else? Then what was the point of her agreeing to this marriage?
This was simply bullying!
First, they agreed to something else and then they changed their minds. Was this not bullying?
