Though Old Master Li was furious at Jia Song, he knew that he couldn’t create a scene in front of everyone which was why she turned to look at Yu Dong and then said with an awkward smile, ” Young miss, I don’t think you are right. How can you even bring us to the magistrate? We have not broken the law. It is not like as if we have committed a murder or a theft?”
No sooner did he say those words, Li Sangyu who was terrified by Yu Dong’s threat immediately livened up and nodded hastily. “That’s right! Have we committed a murder or did we steal anything from your house? How can you even think of bringing us to the magistrate when we have not done anything ?!”
Yu Dong noticed that Li Sangyu was getting more and more energetic with every word that she said and smiled gently before saying, ” Is that so? Do you not know that before separating from a mer, you need to get the verbal agreement of his family? At least you need to make sure that your mer husband’s family is aware of the separation. Though the country does not protect mers to the point where their rights are completely secure, it does give a few rights to them lest people like you make life difficult for them. The separation of a husband and wife requires the agreement of both families, so why is it that we were not even aware of this separation until Uncle Le came to our house? Do you want me to continue?”
Li Sangyu lowered her head after getting retaliated against by Yu Dong, she had nothing to say against Yu Dong’s claims as she had indeed separated from Yu Le without letting the Yu family know, thus, she could only hide back in the turtle shell behind her father and not say anything anymore.
Behind her, Mi Yan glared at her wife calling her useless. All she knew was to hide behind her father like a child can’t she stand up for herself and him?
” In law, I know that you are angry but you have to look at the situation while standing in our shoes——-”
” I have already told your eldest daughter that there is no need for you to call me law, I am not your law,” before Old Madam Li could say anything anymore she was stopped by Old Madam Yu who glared at her with little flames in her eyes and then stated calmly, ” I do not need to look at anything nor am I here to listen to your petty excuses.”
She looked at Li Sangyu and stated, ” When you came to ask for Yu Le’s hands what did you tell me?”
Li Sangyu did not say anything, instead, she tried her best to cover Min Yan behind her with her head lowered but that only infuriated Old Madam Yu even more as the latter banged her cane harshly on the floor and repeated, ” What did you say, Li Sangyu?”
Her voice caused Li Sangyu to flinch as the latter finally opened her mouth and then said in a low voice, ” That —-I will treat Yu Le well and keep him happy.”
” And what did you do?” Old Madam Yu wished to hit Li Sangyu with her cane until the latter could not get up from the floor but she was not here to fight, she was here to make this family bleed and realise Yu Le’s importance. This was the reason why she calmed down and then stated, ” You threw him aside once you married another mer and then allowed that mer to bully your official husband! When I think of how a concubine was able to ride on top of the head of an official husband, I wonder whether you, Li Sangyu —— are you even a woman? For a mer concubine to act up like this? You are worse than the broken cane in my house. At least I can use that cane to hit someone but you? You are useless!”
