古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 404 Dieee Yu Dong!

　　Thanking LaiLai for sending me a golden gachapon!! It brings me sheer joy that you all are loving this story so much —— never thought that this story will be loved by so much!

　　Even if Elder Chen was rich and had a lot of money but even she wouldn\'t be able to pay that sum of money that Yu Dong was asking for, three thousand taels of gold? For them to buy a mer, was something wrong with Yu Dong\'s brain? How can she ask for such an exorbitant price! So what if Xiao Hua was beautiful? It wasn\'t as if he was plated in gold and embedded in gems, right? Who in their right mind would pay such a huge amount for a mer? 

　　" Yu Dong, have you gone mad? Three thousand gold taels? Why don\'t you just go and rob the imperial family?" If Elder Chen wasn\'t afraid of Yu Dong then she would have gone ahead and slapped the latter on the face for making a fool out of her like this, she acted like she truly wanted to sell Xiao Hua and then went ahead and asked for such a sky-high amount! Even the Empress wouldn\'t pay such a large amount for a mer, even though she was raking in gold and eating out of a golden plate! " If you didn\'t want to sell him then you should have said so from the start, why did you have to make a fool out of us? Do you think that doing something like this was fun?" 

　　Yu Dong shrugged looking unrepentant as she looked at Elder Chen with a grin. " What didn\'t you say that your daughter\'s feelings were genuine? Then should she not be prepared to pay such a meagrely sum of money for her love? And you are wronging me, Elder Chen, I never said that I wasn\'t willing to sell Xiao Hua, I am… but for a reasonable price. And given how talented and beautiful he is, I think even asking for three thousand taels of gold is too less, I should have asked for more." She tapped her chin with her forefinger and hummed, " Never mind, since you and I belong to the same village I will give you a special discount." 

　　Meagrely sum? Special discount? The more Elder Chen listened to Yu Dong, the more she felt like she was going to cough out blood. In fact, she swore a fishy taste started to spread all over her mouth after listening to Yu Dong. 

　　"It\'s a million taels! How in the world is that mer worth that much?" snapped Elder Chen as she glared at Yu Dong for being simply too greedy and unscrupulous. " I did say that I am willing to pay for him but I said that I will only pay a reasonable price, what do you mean by asking for three thousand taels of gold? You explain to me how on earth is that mer worth this exorbitant amount?" 

　　Yu Dong raised her brow as she titled her head and looked at Elder Chen curiously. " What do you mean by this Elder Chen? Are your daughter\'s feelings not even worth this much? Tsk, tsk and here I thought that she truly loved Xiao Hua, I mean isn\'t she willing to die for him? Then going by that she finds her life worth enough to get Xiao Hua but if you are saying that Xiao Hua is not worth the price that I am asking for, then are you trying to say that your daughter\'s life is too cheap?" 

　　Then before Elder Chen could say anything, she smiled and nodded her head. " Well, you are right about it but what to do, to me Xiao Hua is worth that much sum of money. He is smart and is also very witty when it comes to the talk of business… he is a great asset to me and what\'s more, he is one of my dear people  whom I want to protect and take care of , so if you cannot pay me that small amount of money then get lost." 

　　\' A great asset.\'

　　\' Smart and witty.\'

　　\' One of my people to protect and take care of.\' 

　　Xiao Hua stared at Yu Dong\'s back and felt his feelings inflate like a ballon again as he looked at Yu Dong and blinked his eyes looking completely stunned. 

　　Yu Dong\'s words ringed in his ears, and Xiao Hua finally realised that Yu Dong ——she never planned to him to the Chen family, she was just trying to pull their legs and make them feel unworthy of him! Then doesn\'t that mean that he shed so many silent tears for nothing? 

　　" Yu Dong, what nonsense are you spouting!" Elder Chen who had no idea about what was going on in Xiao Hua\'s head felt like a fool. She was actually played by a young girl who wasn\'t even twenty as if she was a clown…how can she be not angry? Because they have attracted the attention of the villagers who always craved a sort of entertainment, the courtyard was now filled with villagers who were watching the show with great interest, doesn\'t it mean that she was embarrassed in front of the entire crowd? 

　　Face flushed in anger and embarrassment, Elder Chen glared at Yu Dong before shouting, " Even you didn\'t pay that much sum to buy him, then under what account are you asking for that sum of money, huh?" 

　　" Under the account that I know his worth?" answered Yu Dong with ease, that was apparent on her face. " The one who sold him didn\'t know his worth but I do, and that\'s the reason that I can ask for that price, is that something you even need to ask huh?" 

　　Xiang Bei: "….." why do I feel like someone is badmouthing me? 

　　Then she glanced at the Chen family and stared right at Chen Ying who was just as young as Yu Dong and smiled with a little bit of derision. " I think you should go back home and sleep, after all by this hour all the good kids should go to bed and take their naps." 

　　Villagers who were surrounding the courtyard to watch the drama, heard Yu Dong call Chen Ying a kid and burst out laughing. To think that Yu Dong who was around the same age as Chen Ying was calling her a \' kid\', this was simply too embarrassing!

　　Some villagers even whooped with glee as they teased. 

　　" Go back home kid, and let your daddy sing a lullaby to you." 

　　" Stop embarrassing yourself Chen Ying, go back home." 

　　" Don\'t you think you are being too childish? Forcing someone to marry you by threatening your life?" 

　　Chen Ying\'s face flushed but there was someone else whose face was flushed even red than Chen Ying and that was Xiao Hua who finally realised that along with the Chen family he too was played along with, angry and ashamed for crying like a baby just a moment ago, he raised his hand and smacked Yu Dong on the back. Hard. As hard as he could. " You idiot! You scared the shit out of me! If I was your husband, I swear I would have beaten the crap out of you!" 

　　Yu Dong winced as Xiao Hua hit her on the back but she didn\'t stop him, knowing that she really went too far and scared him along with others. Slightly turning her head over her shoulder, she said, " All right, I am sorry about it. I will not do it again," but then she noticed the tears in his eyes and asked a bit delicately. " Were you this scared that you started crying?" 

　　Xiao Hua who still had a few remnants of tears in his eyes immediately sucked in his tears and willed them back in his eyes as he glared at Yu Dong with a scrunched-up expression. " Who is crying? Your eyes are playing tricks on you, why in the world will I cry because of an idiotic woman like you." 

　　Li Hanjing: "…." 

　　Fang Chi: "…." 

　　Little Zimo: "….." 

　　The rest of the mers: "….." 

　　So, who was the one who was shedding tears like an abandoned baby a minute ago? Were their eyes playing tricks on them too? 

　　Yu Dong chuckled at his obstinate attitude and agreed with him, without a fight. " All right, all right… what you say goes, is that okay?" 

　　Before Xiao Hua could respond, loud gasps echoed within the crowd and then someone shouted—— " Yu Dong be careful!" 

　　The two turned their heads to the front and so did the others and only then did they notice that Chen Ying who couldn\'t even stand on her feet was now rushing in Yu Dong\'s direction with an unmatched speed with the knife threateningly raised in her hand. A malevolent and twisted expression etched on her face as she roared, " Dieeee! Yu Dong! You interfering bitch!" 

　　Ps. Thanks for the comments will start on the outline!
