NovelEnglishChapter 696: Yu Dong punched Qiu Bai——1
" Who brought this?" Yu Dong asked as she turned to look at the three people who were inside the room. Her voice was calm but it was similar to the calm of a deadly sea, that seemed to be waiting to explode—— and when she turned to look at Shen Li and the others, they all took a collective breath and it was with a lot of effort that they stopped themselves from moving a step behind.
' She really looks dangerous,' thought Shen Li in his head but then he took a deep breath and exhaled it loudly only then did he take a step closer to Yu Dong and then said, " It came from the villagers, on your wedding day with Chi. I don't know who left it behind but it was sitting in the gifts with other gifts that the villagers brought."
In their village, there was no such system as writing down the gifts and the name of the person who brought them since, the things that the gifts that the villagers brought mostly comprised of meat and alcohol or any other thing that could be consumed. It was very rare when things like bed sheets and other things to be given to a couple which was why no one noted things like pickles and meat unless it was truly expensive since they have to return them.
But if it was a jar of pickle …it was impossible for them to write it down, especially with the number of guests who came to see them that day.

At this moment, should he say something? What if he was wrong?
However, his hesitation was caught by Yu Dong who looked at him and then asked in a soft voice, " Do you know something Mi?"
Her question caused Chen Mi to yelp as he stifled a scream that was lodged in his throat. He looked at Shen Li silently asking him to help him since he was afraid that he will be wrong if he made a mistake and another drama ensued when Yu Dong was like this, he was worried that he will be the one who will be blamed.
Shen Li noticed the silent plea of Chen Mi and immediately stood in front of him as he turned to look at Yu Dong. " Dong Dong, I know that you are upset——"
" I am not upset," Yu Dong interrupted Shen Li as she walked over to where the three of them were standing. Yu Tong wanted to stop her sister but she knew that she did not have the right to do so since she was just a sister-in-law and Yu Dong was the wife of Shen Li and Chen Mi.
Yu Dong stepped forward as she looked at Chen Mi who was trembling upon seeing her coming close to him and said, " I am just trying to ask a question that needs an answer, Li." Her glance dipped at Chen Mi who was shivering behind Shen Li, who knows what he saw when he raised his head and took a look at Yu Dong who was standing in front of him but he gasped and reached out to hold Shen Li's arm.
His entire being was shivering as if he was a leaf standing tall in a storm.
Yu Dong walked past Shen Li who tried to stop her and then raised her hand to touch Chen Mi's head as she whispered, "Am I that scary?"
"N..No," Chen Mi felt true fear this time, it was as if the old Yu Dong was back …no it was even worse than that because the old Yu Dong was not this forceful nor was she this calm when she was angry.
Yu Ding sighed and then said, " I am not going to hurt you Mi. But if you keep hiding what you know then maybe I might …lose my temper…" she dropped her hand and cupped Chen Mi's cheeks. " I might not have the heart to hurt either of you but if I found out that you are trying to save someone then I am afraid, that person will not be able to survive."

"No, Tha..that's not…" Chen Mi immediately spoke up, he did not want his wife to become a murderer because of his silence. He lowered his head and then tugged at the hem of his shirt before pursing his lips and answering, "The day of your wedding, I saw our ex-uncle-in-law…he was standing with the crowd and watching the wedding march. Of course, he could be watching the wedding march simply and did not have any ill intentions."
"But you doubt him, why is it Mi?" Yu Dong further asked as she calmly continued to speak without showing the least bit of anger on her face. Because she was acting like this Yu Tong who wanted to say that her daddy wouldn't do something like this and could not even bring herself to say anything.
And the experiences from the past made her doubt her father as well, what if he was really behind it?
Chen Mi hesitated as he turned to look at Shen Li who nodded at him assuringly asking him to continue and silently telling him that he will interfere if Yu Dong was to lose her head. " I saw him at the grave of a mother-in-law on her death anniversary when I was newly married, he was crying and sobbing while asking her why she did not choose him and married father-in-law instead … after that he went crazy and started cursing mother in law, saying that he will not let her rest in peace."
