NovelEnglishChapter 656: Lost control
Yu Dong felt her breath come to a halt when she realised that not only Xiao Hua was missing, Ye Liu seemed to be gone as well. She could feel her heart shudder as she started to look around the house, not even forgetting to look in a small box that was sitting in the kitchen, even though she knew that the two of them would not be able to hide inside the small box, she just did not want to believe that the two were taken away from the house right under her nose.
" What happened?" She rounded to Shen Li who was looking rather pale and had many scratches on his arms, she did not even know how in the world two of her husbands were attacked while her lover was taken away from the Mu house.
Chen Mi rubbed the medicine that Yu Dong has given to him on Shen Li's wounds and glared at Yu Dong for being too agitated, he understood that she was worried about Ye Liu and Xiao Hua but she needed to keep her emotions under control. If Shen Li was not lucky, he too might have been dragged with the two of them, it was through sheer luck that he was able to escape from the woman's clutches and come back to tell them that Ye Liu and Xiao Hua were taken away.

" I am sorry," she apologized without even hesitating for a single second. " I was too stressed and worried just now and reacted like that, I apologize."
Just now when Shen Li told her that Village head Gu's sister took Ye Liu and Xiao Hua with her, she almost lost her head.
"It's all right, I understand that you are scared for the two of them," Shen Li did not feel hurt instead he understood that Yu Dong was scared for the two of them. He too was really worried when he thought about what Village head Gu's sister was going to do Xiao Hua and Ye Liu.
" But how can she take the two of them without us knowing?" Yu Tong asked, there were so many women in the house and there were also several mammies. How was it possible for the Village head Gu's sister to take the two mers without them even knowing?
Shen Li breathed hard as he rubbed his arms that were scratched when he was fighting with Gu Li and replied, "It's like this when everyone was taking care of the two mammies who snuck inside the courtyard. Gu Li came and told Xiao Hua that Li Hanjing has gone into labour, everyone was here and no one could tell us that Li Hanjing is perfectly well in his house."
" You all know how protective Xiao Hua is towards Li Hanjing, he was even willing to sell himself to us for the sake of Li Hanjing, so of course he was the first one to rush out. I and Ye Liu have assisted Chen Mi in his birth, which is why the two of us followed him thinking that we will help Li Hanjing in childbirth."
" But who would have thought," Shen Li bit his lips as he finished speaking as he closed his eyes and then shook his head. " As soon as we reached the cross-section in the village, Gu Li attacked us all. We were three mers who could not fight against her strength at all and what's more she once worked in the military, it was simply impossible for us to deal with her which was why we could not defeat her no matter how much we tried."
" She even tried to take me with her because she was worried that Yu Dong will come after her if she let me go but Ye Liu took the chance to bite her at that exact moment when she was dragging me inside the carriage and asked me to run." Shen Li covered his face and felt his eyes sting as he started sobbing. " I wished I could protect the two of them, I was their big brother but instead the two of them tried to save me."

"It's all right, it's all right, you are safe and that's what matters. If she took you as well then I would have died right here and now," she patted the sobbing mer on the back while ignoring the stabbing pain in her heart.
She was at the mercy of the rage that was bursting in her veins but she could not lose her calm, if she did then Shen Li will only blame himself even more. She could not blame one of her husbands for she was afraid of losing the other two, it was not fair, even if it was too painful, she has to be fair with them all!
Her breathing was rugged and Shen Li could feel that she was very much stiff, he raised his head and looked at Yu Dong and asked, " You do not blame me?"
" Why will I blame you?" Yu Dong swallowed hard as she forced herself to smile at him and cupped his face. " You did everything you could to save your brothers, I will not blame you for coming back …did you not hear what I said? You are my anchor in hard times, if you were not here then I would have long lost my calm and then it would not be pretty."
Shen Li listened to what Yu Dong said to him and cried even harder even though his heart was still heavy some of its weight was gone, he was very afraid when he was running back. He kept thinking that Yu Dong will blame him for coming back alone, thank goodness she didn't.
