Chapter 764: Yu Dong shows off her power
Yu Dong looked at the woman who was standing in front of her and did not say anything for the longest time before parting her lips and said, ” If you would have used your authority and asked the guards who work for you then you would have known that Brother Fenhua went to the Qiao house yesterday night but he was turned away, and since he had nowhere to stay, he came back to my house.”
“W..What?” Qiao Sha’s mind started to buzz when he heard Yu Dong say that the guards of her family stopped her husband from entering the house, at first she thought that it was not possible but when she saw those angry eyes of Yu Dong, she knew that the latter was not lying to her. Those guards really did stop Jiang Fenhua from going inside the house and they even lied to her by saying that he never came back home.
Qiao Sha was angry but she still calmed herself down, those guards were at home and she could not do anything to them at the moment, she had to hold her temper till she went back home and only then she will be able to punish those guards but for now, she needed to bring her runaway husband home back with her. She turned to look at Yu Dong before she opened her mouth and then said in her most polite tone, ” Forgive me for my rash actions just now, I will go and straighten those guards but for now please call Fenhua out, he is pregnant and my mother wants him back home.”
She expected that Yu Dong will step aside and invite her in but instead, she stayed where she was, her gaze fixated on her as she glared at her causing Qiao Sha to frown.
” What is the matter, Miss Yu? Are you still upset because of what happened last night? Did I not say that I will talk it out with the guards and they will be punished accordingly——”
” I am not angry at what happened last night, I am angry at your obliviousness, Marquis Qiao,” Yu Dong was extremely disheartened when she saw that Qiao Sha had no idea what was going on with Jiang Fenhua at his own home, just how careless was this woman when it came to Jiang Fenhua? Did she even take note of what he was eating or whether he was even eating at all?
Yu Dong had been keeping an eye on Jiang Fenhua and each time she saw him, he looked thinner than before as if his diet was getting more and more pitiful with the time, which annoyed and worried her greatly.
” What do you want to say, Miss Yu?” Qiao Sha was not a patient woman and she did not like it when people spoke to her in circles, she frowned when she heard Yu Dong’s words, not understanding what she was trying to say, her obliviousness? What does that even mean? What had she ever done to be called out like this?
Yu Dong sighed, if the other person was not an official she might have really slapped this woman awake. How can she even act like this? Did she not know that there were things that she needed to do as Jiang Fenhua’s wife?
However, Yu Dong could not brashly hit or scold Qiao Sha, firstly the woman was an official and secondly, she was the one who will be helping her in the future when things took a turn for worse. Offending Qiao Sha so early was not in her plans but she still could not ignore the fact that the woman was treating her husband like he was her slave who needed to listen to her back and call all the time.
“It’s pretty simple if you were to think of it properly, Madam Qiao,” Yu Dong said to Qiao Sha, her arms crossed in front as she lowered her voice and continued speaking, ” This is not the first time when those guards have disrespected your husband, they have done it on a daily basis and not only them but everyone else in your house are not any good either.”
” Do you think that Brother Fenhua is so unreasonable that he will run away over such a small thing? The reason he returned here was that in the past your guards would force him to stand outside in rain, and snow no matter what kind of weather it was, when complaints get piled up they will surely become grudges and the same thing has happened to Brother Fenhua, he does not wish to return to your home where he is treated as an outsider all the time.”
Yu Dong did not find Jiang Fenhua troublesome thus, even if he wanted to stay in this village for more than a year she will allow him to do so, in fact, she would even build him a house and let him stay in this village. What was so good about the officials in the town anyway? Look at this, a mer cannot even leave his own house according to his will and had to listen to everything that his wife told him.
Compared to that the villagers were a bit more free, at least they will not make their mers stand outside the house just because the latter got delayed while gossiping with his friends.
Qiao Sha was stunned when she heard Yu Dong’s words, a part of her wanted to tell Yu Dong that she needed to stop lying but when she thought about what her mother had told her, she could not bring herself to say those words, what if her lack of care towards Jiang Fenhua really made those servants in her house emboldened and they started to treat Jiang Fenhua as they wished?
She pursed her lips as she arrived at this conclusion but even so, she could not just allow Yu Dong to keep her husband with her right? What did she mean by Jiang Fenhua was not willing to return? He was her husband and the father of her child, how can he live somewhere else?
