Chapter 1070: How to deal with traitors
Yu Dong did not say anything and then took the keys with her to the Yu house but as soon as she entered the house, Chen Mi who was sitting outside in the courtyard immediately rushed forward and started to sniff her.
" What are you doing?" Yu Dong asked with a frown as she looked at Chen Mi who was sniffing. She did not know what kind of hobby this was and where her husband learned it.
Chen Mi crossed his arms on his chest and then said, " I heard that you went to look for a little mer, so I want to catch what did you do with him. But given that you don't smell, I am willing to listen to your explanation."
He was already having a tough time with Xiao Hua who would always come to the house and order him around and when Chen Mi said to him that he was the senior, Xiao Hua would tell him his age. This way the two of them have been going back and forth for a while and Chen Mi cannot deal with another mer for the time being.
Thus, all other goblins need to be kicked to the side!
" What do you think all day long?" Yu Dong was so amused that she did not know whether to laugh or cry. " I was not doing anything, come inside. I will tell you what happened and call Master Yuan, tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
She had long noticed that the identity of Lord Yuan was different. He was a mer but his strength was no lesser than a woman. Just this morning, she saw him pulling the pigs in the pig pen by the collar that Yu Dong ordered and made the pigs wear such that they would know that the pigs belonged to their family in case they went missing or were stolen.
And because those collars had locks, it was impossible for anyone to take them down without killing the pigs.
She did it after the piglets were stolen from their house for their manure.
Now at least the pigs would return home without getting pignapped in the middle.
Chen Mi saw that Yu Dong was serious so he followed her inside and then went to call for Master Yuan who slept in the third wing of their house after the construction. Maybe they all knew that this mer had a special identity which was why neither of them objected to it when Master Yuan took the third wing for himself.
As long as he did not make any unreasonable request they would not make any trouble either.
Master Yuan arrived at the main hall upon being called by Yu Dong, he did not say anything and simply looked at Yu Dong who handed him the wooden box as well as the key to the main manor of the Lu house in the capital.
" This was handed to me by Lu Huo. He says that his mother is a minister from the imperial city and that she had hidden the evidence of her corruption with the first princess in the storage houses."
Hearing Yu Dong's words, Master Yuan did not have the time to pretend. He looked at the wooden box with a solemn look on his face and then asked, " Why did he give you this?"
" He said that his mother ordered his wife to kill him and apparently, she was also ordered to tell the minister in the capital who came up with the idea of the oil mill but was stopped by Lu Huo who changed the letter just in time."
When everyone heard Yu Dong's words, they all turned serious especially Master Yuan as he knew how important the oil mill was for the second princess.
" This woman really has no conscience," said Old Madam Yu. She knew who the wife of Lu Huo but she was not used to saying harsh words and could only scold Lin Yiyi lightly but even so, she was quite upset. Yu Dong might not have helped Lin's family directly but she hadn't ignored any household in the village either now for some monetary gains, Lin Yiyi was betraying Yu Dong.
" What are you going to do?" Shen Li asked this question first as he knew that Lin Yiyi and her family could not be kept in the village.
Yu Dong took the cup of water from Ye Liu and took a sip before saying, " Of course, I want to kick her out of the village along with her family but if we do that then she would have the chance to send information about our village to Lu Huo's mother which is why I think its better to lock them up and keep an eye on their family as for Lin Yiyi … I cannot touch her for the time being as she did not do anything."
" But you don't need to worry about her taking action, it's a matter of time before she makes another move and causes trouble." She then turned to look at Lang and said, " Lang go to Magistrate Li and tell her about the situation here, I am sure she will help us."
Lin Yiyi needed to be kept under close surveillance or else she would cause trouble for them but this could be done only by Li Wan.
" I understand," Lang nodded as she started to head out of the house but was stopped by Master Yuan who said, " Wait, I will come with you as well."
The two of them left the house while Shen Li nodded after hearing Yu Dong's words. This way they would not have to worry about being stabbed in the back but at the same time, it aroused their worries.
" If this goes on then there will be another Lin Yiyi," Ye Liu said with an anxious expression on his face. " Just how many people's mouths can we close?"
Yu Dong, on the other hand, was very calm and then shook her head before stating, " You are taking Magistrate Li lightly, she is loyal to the second princess now that someone dared to go against the second princess and tried to help the eldest princess, she will not leave Lin Yiyi alone so easily. I am afraid that Lin Yiyi will not come out of the Yamen until the fight for the throne is over."
