古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 951: Separated

" Le\'er, what are you doing? And why are you not wearing enough clothes?" Old Madam Yu immediately scrambled on her feet as she rushed towards the mer who was in his late thirties. Behind him was a young girl around the age of ten, at first Yu Dong did not realise why the young girl was hiding behind her father but then as Old Madam Yu ushered the mer and the young girl, her gaze fell on the large dark birthmark on the face of the young girl.          

The rest of the mers cleaned up their things which were scattered all over the living room and then made space for the mer to take a seat along with his daughter. However even after sitting down the elderly mer did not speak, he simply kept his head bowed.      

Yu Le did not say anything despite Old Madam Yu asking him what was going on and why he was bringing so many trunks and baggage with him in the winter, he stayed silent causing Old Madam Yu to worry as she looked at her mer son who was acting peculiarly.      

She glanced at Yu Dong and then the rest of the family before turning to look at her son and asked, " Ah Le if you don\'t tell Mother what is going on then how will I help you? At least say something?"      

Her soft voice caused Yu Le\'s eyes to turn red but he only bit his lips and looked at his daughter who stared back at her father. Yu Dong realised what was going on and then turned her attention to Yu Mai before saying, " Mai? Why don\'t you bring your sister to your room and show her the spinning top that you like very much?"      

Yu Mai liked boasting about the toys and candies that he received from his family a lot, thus the second he got the opportunity he immediately pushed himself off the floor where he was playing with Little Bun and then rushed to the young girl sitting next Yu Le and said, " Come little sister! I will take you to see something good."      

The girl on the couch hesitated and then turned to look at her father once again. For some reason, she seemed quite terrified of going anywhere alone but when she saw her father nod, the young girl stretched out her hand and took Yu Mai\'s hands and it was then that Yu Dong noticed the large burn mark on her skin which the young girl hid with her sleeves quite quickly as if afraid that someone would see it.      

Fang Chi also noticed that Yu Le seemed to be a bit hesitant because of the presence of the children and brought them to another room. While Ning Yu and Shi Xi turned around and went outside where they started to pluck the vegetables which were growing in the backyard.      

Once the children were taken to another room and those who were not close family left, Old Madam Yu once again turned to her son and asked, " Now, can you tell me what happened? Your silence is making me worry. Do you wish to trouble your mother at such an advanced age?"      

Yu Le hesitated but he then parted his lips and then said in a blank voice, " I separated with Li Sangyu."      

Li Sangyu was Yu Le\'s wife and the woman who married him ten years ago after his father found a match for him. The two of them have been married for more than years thus when he said that he separated from his wife, it made Old Madam Yu stunned but even so she did not blame her son instead she asked him what led to their separation. She was not going to take a side just because her son was a mer and separated from his wife when he shouldn\'t have done something so severe as this.      

Once Yu Le saw that his mother was not blaming him, he sniffed and started speaking.      

Turns out that though Li Sangyu and her family treated Yu Le well after she married him, soon that kind-hearted treatment was replaced with contempt as Yu Le gave birth to his daughter Li Yuya. The child was born with a birthmark which looked terrifying to look at and to make things worse after Li Yuya was born things started to become worse for the Li family.      

One after another miscarriages started to happen and their fields stopped giving good yields. At first, everything was all right but then Li Sanyu\'s second husband who miscarried for the third time couldn\'t help but take his anger out on Li Yuya. He blamed Yu Le\'s daughter saying that she was a devil\'s child and was born with a jinx sticking to her.      

Because they were keeping Li Yuya in their house, all sorts of bad jinxes were falling on them.     

After that it was as if all the goodwill that the Li family had for Yu Le vanished, he was thrown to the side with his daughter as if he did not allow them to kill his daughter to whom he had given birth to. Not only was he forced to do all the work in the house as he owed the other mers who lost their kids because of his daughter but even his daughter was not given decent food and clothes to wear.      

At first, Yu Le was willing to suffer after all, he was a mer and couldn\'t divorce his wife even if he was being wronged but then a few weeks ago he found Li Sangyu\'s husband burning his daughter with a flaming wooden log and that was when he snapped.
