The next morning, Yu Dong woke up with an annoying headache. Though she knew that she had done nothing wrong, Yu Dong couldn’t help but feel a bit restless.
Because no matter what she had indeed taken the life and place of another person.
Yu Dong raised her head after washing her face with the water in the vat. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she shook her head and muttered, “No, I did nothing wrong. There is no need for me to feel sorry about anything.”
Her predecessor was in the wrong for throwing her life away, even if she was wronged by her mother and the rest of her family, Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi did nothing wrong.
Since she threw away her life, Yu Dong picked it up. It was not like she snatched it from her.
And now that her predecessor was dead, Yu Dong felt slightly relieved. However, there was still a little worry lingering in her heart as the person who was responsible for capturing and locking the soul of her predecessor was still out in the open.
What if that person does something to harm others? Should she take care of that woman?
Certainly, that master would continue with her actions, just like how she reaped the soul of Ding Nuan Nuan, she would harvest other souls as well to cultivate.
This was what Wu Junfen had told her.
Because of the worries in her heart, Yu Dong felt even more restless and lethargic.
She even lost her appetite even though Chen Mi had prepared a sumptuous breakfast of soup dumplings.
Ye Liu handed Yu Dong a pair of chopsticks. He glanced at her and then turned to look at the others when he saw Yu Dong looking troubled.
Chen Mi and Shen Li also felt uneasy when they saw Yu Dong looking like she had lost her soul. Even Fang Chi continued glancing at her with a troubled look on his face but every time he opened his mouth to say something, he would close it because he had no idea what to say to Yu Dong.
What was he supposed to say to her when he did not know what was wrong with her?
In the end, they all turned to look at Shen Li.
Shen Li: “…”
Shen Li sighed as he picked up Little Du Du and walked over to Yu Dong before pressing their little crybaby in her arms.
“Dong Dong, what’s wrong with you?” Shen Li asked. “Are you troubled because of what happened last night?”
They have long heard about the lightning that struck Ding Nuan Nuan, maybe Yu Dong was worried because of that?
Yu Dong snapped back to her senses. Seeing that the entire family was looking at her worried, she pursed her lips before curling them into a smile. She said to them, “It’s nothing. I am just worried that the Ding family would cause trouble.”
She then paused and looked at the rest before saying, “Were you terrified because of the lightning?”
Chen Mi nodded affirmatively when he thought about the lightning that took place last night. He said to Yu Dong, “It was really terrifying even Jin’er was scared last night.” As for why Yu Dong did not come rushing to their aid when the children started crying, Chen Mi did not ask her as he knew that there must be some reason for her absence.
Yu Dong looked at her understanding husbands who never once asked her about what happened to her last night and why she did not come to look for them when the lightning struck the ground.
She sighed and picked up the cup of water on the side of her bowl before saying, “There is something that you all should know.”
Yu Dong told Shen Li and the others about Big Yu possessing the doll and targeting their family as well as the grudge that she was carrying in her heart.
Once she finished speaking, she waited for them to say something. Anything. After all, more than her they were the ones who were close to the original Yu Dong.
Fang Chi’s mouth fell agape as this was his first time hearing such a thing. He turned to look at Shen Li and the others and was surprised to see that neither of them was shocked by the things that Yu Dong had said to them.
They knew?
Shen Li pursed his lips before sighing lightly. “I guessed as much.” He knew that there was something fishy going on with Ding Nuan Nuan troubling them. And his worries turned even more intense when he heard that Ding Nuan Nuan was possessed by something.
Though he never said anything, he had a feeling that it was his dear wife.
“You did?” Yu Dong asked with a surprised look on her face.
Shen Li nodded grimly. “Of course, how can I not when the whole situation was pointing toward it? Only she would despise us to the point where she would want us to be ruined.”
“And you — you don’t care?” Yu Dong felt a balloon swell in her heart.
“Why would I?” Shen Li glanced at her with a raise of his brow. “Did you think that I would feel regretful that she is gone? If anything I am relieved that she is finally gone. At least now we will live a decent life without any worries.”
Ye Liu also nodded beside him before saying, “That’s right. Though we married her — we only take you as our wife.”
“Indeed,” Chen Mi chimed from the side. “If not for you — who knows…” he trailed off and placed his hand on Yu Jin’s head.
The little mer raised his head and looked at his daddy before whining in disgust.
“Ah! You little tease,” Chen Mi was amused as he pinched the cheeks of his son. “You are really grown up now eh? You dare disdain your old daddy now?”
“Ah!”
Laughter filled the dining room and Yu Dong’s mood improved as well. That’s right, so what if she met them later on? These mers adored and loved her.
Thinking of this, she felt assured and at ease.
