Chapter 1058: What is the truth? Was he bought or married?
Yu Dong’s words immediately made the two mers go quiet. They exchanged a glance with each other and looked at the stern-looking Yu Dong before lowering their heads as the one dressed in a cherry red shirt and pants apologized sincerely, ” We…we did not mean anything like that, Village Owner. If our words offended you then we will apologize, all right?”
However, inwardly they were not satisfied by Yu Dong’s reprimand. They really thought that Yu Dong was upset because they contradicted her and nothing more, because she wanted to save her prestige as the Village Owner she scolded them unjustly. Obviously, it was Rong Yi at fault but she was standing up for Rong Yi and blaming them.
Of course, Yu Dong knew what the two mers were thinking about, she did not say anything to them but instead turned to look at the innocent-looking Old Master Rong and asked, ” Are you saying, that Rong Yi took the funds which were meant for her husband and first child but deliberately did not give it to them despite going through a lot of trouble to marry her husband and using up all the savings that she had and then left the two of them to die?
Don’t you think that it sounds a bit weird?”
Others might not know but Rong Yi had told her while they were coming to the Rong family that her mother did not want her to get married or more clearly, she did not want to use her money on Rong Yi as she was saving everything for Rong Xi and her daughters.
In the end, Rong Yi had to use more than half of her savings to redeem a mer from the slave trader and marry him, who would like to marry a slave? But Rong Yi was willing as she did not want to die alone.
Even this caused her to be beaten up as her stepfather and Rong Xi had long thought of her savings as theirs. The second they found out that more than half of the savings were gone, they egged Old Madam Rong and caused Rong Yi to be beaten up on her wedding night.
On the day when she and her husband were supposed to be filled with happiness, Rong Yi had to lie on her bed and her husband shed tears of worry for his new wife. It was simply heartbreaking for Rong Yi!
Her words caused Old Master Rong to stiffen. He turned to glare at Rong Yi with hatred in his eyes, he clearly told this woman not to air the dirty laundry of their family outside but she still told Village Owner that they did not use a single cent on her wedding! Where would they put their faces? Did she even think about her old mother before saying something like this to Yu Dong?
In the past, Old Master Rong used to think that Rong Yi would not tell the truth to others as it would disclose the identity of her husband but to his surprise, this time around Rong Yi was willing to break the pot and spill all the secrets!
When the two mers heard Yu Dong say that Rong Yi had bought her husband, their eyes could not help but furrow as they looked at Old Master Rong. The mer in the cherry red dress asked, ” Old Master Rong, didn’t you say that you used up most of your savings to find Rong Yi a husband? How come the Village Owner is saying that Rong Yi used her savings to buy her husband?
Hurry up and clear the misunderstanding.”
” Yes, please,” Yu Dong stated with a glint in her eyes. ” I am dying for the misunderstanding to be cleared, tell me where did you find your son-in-law? Who is his family and where is his village? When was the wedding and when did you finalize the engagement? And where is the betrothal token?”
Unlike the others, Yu Dong did not trust Old Master Rong. They all could be fooled by his green tea antics but not Yu Dong, she straightforwardly questioned Old Master Rong leaving him no way out.
At this moment, Old Master Rong really felt like Yu Dong was a devil. It was fine that she was here to question him but she was completely shredding his face to bits, he looked at Rong Yi whose eyes were calm before turning to look at his friends who were eagerly urging him to answer Yu Dong’s question before opening his mouth as he replied, ” There was no such thing… that mer was a slave.”
As soon as his words fell the two mers on Old Master Rong’s side were stunned and so were the rest of the villagers who gathered in front of the Rong house. There was no entertainment in the village so when they saw Yu Dong heading down the Rong house, they all came to see what was going on. But they never expected that they would find a piece of news which was this explosive!
Rong Yi’s husband was a slave that was redeemed?! So why did the Rong couple make things difficult for Rong Yi by saying to everyone that it was them who handed a large dowry price to the mer and his family because Rong Yi was old and thus did not have enough money to hold a banquet for Rong Yi and her husband.
” B…But we did pay for him,” Old Master Rong still wanted to struggle but Yu Dong did not give him a chance, she simply raised a brow and reached out her hand before saying, ” Hand me the receipt and deed of the purchase. You must have got the life and death deed of the slave right?”
She did not care how old the person in front of her was, as long as they caused trouble for her, she would shred their face to bits leaving nothing behind!
Since this mer wanted to act then she would act with him till the end!
