NovelEnglishChapter 895: The general’s husband
" I will investigate this matter and make sure to take proper measures," Magistrate Li knew that Yu Dong will certainly not come here to find trouble with her just because she wanted to make things difficult for the ones who lived in the neighbouring village but as the Magistrate of the town, she could not just decide on her own. This matter which involved an entire village needed to be thoroughly taken care of lest anyone was to say that she was being partial towards the Big River Village for no reason.
" I understand," Yu Dong also knew that no matter how serious a matter was, the officials will need to make an investigation before coming to a conclusion. She stood up from the chair on which she was sitting and then said with a tap of her knuckles, " I will leave this matter to you, Magistrate Li. But I hope you will keep your promise and not let me down, in case the villagers from the Big Stone Village come to harass me again, I will not leave the matter in your hands anymore. In fact,"
She turned around and left a string of cold words, " There will be no Big Stone Village to take care of anymore."

This small assistant was actually Magistrate Li's biological sister which was why she could be this arrogant in front of Magistrate Li who rolled her eyes and then stated coldly, " You have no idea who Miss Yu is right? She is the woman who came up with the process of making oil. The one with which we are able to use to secure a generous amount of money for our own army, and what's more she will be the one who will be redeveloping the entire Big River Village into an agricultural and fishery centre, one that we can use for many gains, do you still think that she does not have the rights to get arrogant?"

Li Yang did not say anything but as a woman who lived in the capital, she did not think that Yu Dong was any great. Sure, she was a bit smart when compared to the rest but just a little bit and nothing more—— after all, the oil-making process had been popular in the country and capital for years, she only tweaked it a little here and there.
Was there a reason to praise her as such?
Li Yang did not think so, Magistrate Li glanced at her sister and knew what was going on in her head. A sigh escaped her lips as she turned her attention to the plain white document and then started writing, she did not say anything to Li Yang. In a while, that woman will understand why she should not do anything to bother Yu Dong.
….
Yu Dong on the other hand headed straight towards her village without worrying about what kind of changes were going to apply in the town. With her gaze fixed on the refugees who were fighting for even the smallest bowl of porridge, she could not help but frown slightly. She had to admit that no matter what time only those who had money or power would be the last ones standing.
The ones in the imperial family had the power and the resources in abundance which was why they did not care about the commoners and as for the officials of this world, they were the same as well. With a sigh, she turned to look forward but just as she was going to close her eyes and go back to sleep, the carriage jerked forward causing Yu Dong to stand upright as she balanced herself on the unstable floor of the carriage.

Mammy Lin who was driving the carriage out of the town and heading towards the Big River Village turned to look at Yu Dong and then said, " There is a mer lying in the middle of the road, Miss Yu."
" A mer?" Yu Dong frowned as she stepped out of the carriage and looked at the mer who was lying on the cold snow and then carefully looked around before sharply looking at the blue lips of the mer who was on the snow without making a single movement. " He is poisoned."
" Poison…poisoned?" Mammy Lin was stunned when she heard that the mer in front of her was poisoned, she looked at Yu Dong and then at the unconscious mer before asking, " What should we do now?"
" You are asking me?" Yu Dong felt like she had just flipped open the Pandora box no matter what she did, she still ended up finding trouble. These days her life was getting so hard that she was sure that even if she was to stay inside the house, she will still somehow manage to get entangled in trouble.
" Should I just leave him alone?" Yu Dong finally asked after pondering a lot, it was not that she was hard-hearted but if she continued to pick up human being like this would she not become a kidnapper or human trafficker? Even if she was not going to sell or use them for anything illegal but still, what kind of good woman picks up lying mer who were clearly unable to defend themselves?
No matter how she thought of this matter it sounded weird in her head, which was why she turned to look at Mammy Lin and said, "Let's just leave, he is already dying there is nothing that we can ——Gah!" She screamed when her calf was clenched by someone all of a sudden.
