Chapter 1286 Love is useless (2)
"Mother, he is not a prostitute. He was forced——"
"Does anyone care about that?" Second Madam Yu remarked as she looked at her daughter who was acting stubborn in her eyes. "People only believe what they can see! And they know that Lin Hanjing is a mer who gave birth to a daughter whose mother is unknown! Do you think they will care about whether he was forced or he willingly sold his body?"
Second Madam Yu curled her lips and then stood up from her chair before walking around the table as she stated, "No they won't they will laugh at you and the children you will give birth to for having a father who sold his body."
Yu Tonh clenched her fingers, if this was someone else she would have punched them in the face but this woman was none other than her mother and she couldn't touch her.
"Mother you are disrespecting the mer I love," Yu Tong said to Second Madam Yu who simply looked at her and started to laugh.
Continue your saga on empire
She chuckled with her hands over her mouth before wiping a tear that was sticking at the corner of her eyes, she then said, "Do you think I am disrespecting him? No Tong'er, I am speaking the truth. You might be lost in your own world thinking that you can live a wonderful and happy life but that is not how the world works."
"Mother——"
Second Madam Yu's gaze turned stern as she looked at Yu Tong and interrupted her sternly, "Yu Tong, do you know why I married your father?"
Yu Tong frowned. She could not understand why her mother was bringing her father up at this moment. Were they not discussing the reason for the engagement between her and Murong Si?
"Because he was the prettiest mer?" Yu Tong offered with a subtle questioning note.
"I can do this because I am your mother and unless you want to have the blood of a mer on your hands, you will marry Murong Si. His family is really strict that if the engagement fails then Murong Si will caged and thrown in the river to die as he would be considered a jinx for his siblings," Second Madam Yu told Yu Tong.
There was a reason why she chose Murong Si and this was it. She knew that if she was to force Yu Tong like this she would marry Murong Si, she had to make sure that her daughter would not be able to escape the trap that she had set for her.

"Cough!" Yu Dong choked on her drink as she looked at Mammy Lin who returned after dealing with the seeds and orchards.
She spat out the fruit juice that she asked Zi Zan to squeeze out of the orange and then questioned, "What do you mean by that Yu Tong is engaged to the Murong family's mer? I have never heard of such a thing."
"It's true, Madam Yu. The Murong village lies in between the Stone Village and River Village, thus when I passed by the Murong village, I found out that the son of the village head was engaged to Murong Village's head," Mammy Lin spoke to Yu Dong who turned to look at Gu Ke Jin.
Ever since what her sister did, Gu Ke Jin had been walking around Yu Dong on eggshells, though Yu Dong said that she and Gu Mu were two different people and she was not going to punish her for what Gu Mu did, Gu Ke Jin was still very careful around Yu Dong.
Thus, when Gu Ke Jin saw Yu Dong look at her, she lowered her head and replied, "Mammy Lin is right. We did hear about their engagement."
