Chapter 680: Are you okay Chi?

" No," When Li Meng heard Qiao Sha mention the second princess, Li Meng turned solemn once again as she rubbed her forehead. " But in such case, having no news is better than getting any news. At least as long as there is no information on the second princess we won\'t have to worry about the second princess being caught."          

The second princess had to flee with her consorts after she found out that she was being targeted, she did not even get the chance of attending her father\'s funeral because if she stayed behind then her funeral would have been next.      

Once the second princess along with her child and consorts were gone, the one who took charge was the daughter of the imperial consort\'s daughter, the first princess.      

It was rumoured that the first princess was even more ruthless than her mother when it came to dealing with the mers and the political situations of the imperial city, not only did she start attacking the supporters of the second princess, she even killed a bunch of innocent women and officials.      

Li Meng was one of the very few officials who were able to escape getting executed and only got exiled from the imperial city. Before coming to the big river town, she worked as the head official of the public service department.      

But because she had always supported the second princess, she was one of those officials who were taken care of by the first princess first, in fact, it would be right to say that if not for her mother\'s protection, she would have been dragged and executed by the first princess as well.     

Of course, becoming the magistrate of this small town without the promise of going back to the imperial city ever again was not much different than being executed either.      

What was more, her half-sister who was in cahoots with the first princess was creating quite havoc in the imperial city along with her father, if she was not wrong the one who was suffering the most was her father at this moment.      

She has to go back or at least make sure that she will be able to create such a difference in this place, that the first princess would not be able to touch her even if she wanted to! Maybe she will be able to help the second princess as well if she was to develop this small town.      

But for that to happen, she will have to bring as many talented individuals by her side as possible this was one of the reasons why she wanted Yu Dong to become the village head of the village that was under her but that woman refused!      

" You are right about that," Qiao Sha agreed with a sigh, she had a lot to deal, with the disappearance of the second princess.     

The first princess wanted to find the second princess and deal with her once and for all because of this, she had sent many envoys and shadow guards to a big river town on the pretext that she was worried about her younger sister.     

But Qiao Sha knew the truth even though she has never supported the second princess, she has never gone against the latter either because of her unclear stance the first princess was worried that she will end up siding with the second princess and supporting her in the fight of the throne—— which was there was a guest she did not welcome resting in her house.     

She raised her head and looked at Li Meng who seemed to be lost in thoughts and asked, " Are you still thinking about how to bring Yu Dong to your side?"      

" It\'s better for that woman to side with us than the first princess," Li Meng narrowed her eyes as she replied. " You do know that this matter of her extracting oil that does not leave a bitter aftertaste will be found out by the first princess sooner or later right?"     

" When that happens either the first princess for the sake of raising a personal army will either bring Yu Dong to her side or will snatch the process of oil extraction from her and ban her from doing business."      

" With us by her side, she will be able to keep her status quo while we will be able to protect ourselves along with the second princess."     

Li Meng placed her chin on her clenched fist and then hummed silently. " If I wanted I could have forced Yu Dong to become my subordinate but I am being patient since I do not wish to act like the tyrant princess I am against but I am afraid that if she does not agree with me, then the condition of the mers including our country will be going downhill if the first princess was to take the throne."      

…..     

" Why am I feeling chilly all of a sudden," Yu Dong muttered as she tried to push herself off the bed. " I think it must be because I am staying in the bed all day long."      

"Lie down on the bed, Dong Dong," Shen Li who walked inside the room with a tray of food and a cup of water glared at his wife when he saw that she was getting up from the bed. " If you dare get up then I will ask Mi to tell read you all the smut books that he is reading these days."     

" Oh please, not again," Yu Dong groaned as she pleaded with Shen Li. She really could not bear the thought of listening to smut novels while Chen Mi teased her!     

" Then that\'s——" Shen Li was still speaking when the sound of a bowl breaking came from the living room followed by Chen Mi\'s worried voice, " Chi? Are you okay?"
