Mu Yuxi was stunned, she stared at Yu Dong who was looking down at her like a grim reaper and started to violently convulse in fear. Her eyes shook with fear as she stuttered, " You will not… you can't kill me! I am the daughter of the village head!"

  " And does that make you f*cking untouchable?" sneered Yu Dong as she applied more pressure on Mu Yuxi's neck. " You touched what's mine, yet you thought that I will let you go just like that? Even if you destroyed Fang Chi today, I would have still taken him into my house as my husband after making him your widower. You laid hands on my fiancé and you are thinking of getting away from me? Dream on!"

  Mu Yuxi wanted to say something but her vision started to get blurry, the air in her body was slowly depleting and she could feel the wooziness that was coating her nerves. No, she didn't want to die, there were so many things that she wanted to do, how could she die just like this? She tried to scratch Yu Dong's arm that was holding her down and yet she was not able to dislodge the arm that was locked on her neck. Instead, when she tried to escape, Yu Dong's started to put more pressure on her neck until Mu Yuxi couldn't even resist. As a lightheaded feeling started to course in her body, Mu Yuxi started to panic, she wanted to die but she couldn't even breathe much less lift her hand and fight Yu Dong.

  " Stop!" Someone shouted from afar and then Mu Yuxi could hear the sound of footsteps and a moment later the arm that was holding her down was pulled away. Mu Yuxi blinked her eyes as she inhaled gulps after gulps of air and looked at her saviour, when she saw it was Chu Chang, her lips curled into a smile. " Chu Chang, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone to die! I knew you would come to save me after all I am still the mother of your kids, if I died what would have happened to them? Let's go, help me up and we will go back home."

  However, Chu Chang didn't move instead he looked at Mu Yuxi with a stony expression as he ignored the hand that Mu Yuxi was stretching towards him. He silently pursed his lips and coldly took a glance at Mu Yuxi who was lying on the ground with blood dripping down her calf and head. " Is that all you want to say to me?"

  " Chu Chang?" Listening to that cold and arrogant voice of her husband, Mu Yuxi felt like she has gone back to the day when she was pursuing Chu Chang in the capital. Why…… Why was Chu Chang talking to her like this? Wasn't he in love with her? She tried to smile through her broken lips made her wince. " Chu Chang, what are you talking about? Stop being angry at me, help me up let's go home. I made a mistake—"

  " A mistake? Then where is your apology, Mu Yuxi?" asked Chu Chang as he carefully cradled his belly, his chest heaving as he looked at Mu Yuxi with disappointment. " You betrayed the promise that you made to me and then you went ahead and embarrassed me in front of everyone in the village by kidnapping a mer who was supposed to get married today! While you were doing this, did you ever think about me? What will the villagers say when they find out that I, Chu Chang from the capital couldn't satisfy my wife and she went to look for her ex-lover? What was going on your mind when you did such a thing?"

  " and it would have been fine if you didn't think about me but you should have at least thought about your children! Now that the entire village knows that you kidnapped a mer and tried to force…force…God, I can't even say it." covering his face Chu Chang cried out. " I can't even say your shameless deeds from my mouth and yet you actually went ahead and did something like this? The villagers will call our children - a child of a criminal, is that what you wanted? Are you happy now that you have ruined your kids' future prospects?"

  " Chu Chang, what the hell is wrong with you? I said I made a mistake— and everyone makes mistakes! If it bothers you so much will leave the village and settle down in the capital."

  " and what about your shops? Who is going to take care of them? And how will you set up shops in the capital?" asked Chu Chang his eyes cold, he was giving Mu Yuxi one final chance to redeem herself if she disappointed him again—


  " Your sisters can help me, right?" said Mu Yuxi promptly as if she wasn't talking about the capital to start a new business venture in the capital city but talking about purchasing a toy.

  Chu Chang closed his eyes and heaved a breath as he turned to his left. " officers, this is the woman against whom I filed a complaint, she kidnapped a mer and tried to force herself on him, she also domestically abuses me every now and then, I want to sue her for causing intentional harm and mental trauma to both me and the mer that she kidnapped."

  The officers were the same officers whom Fang Chi and the others have complained to before, if Chu Chang was the one who was filing the complaint they definitely wouldn't have listened to him but the three sisters of Chu Chang who were standing behind them were not someone they could offend.

  Mu Yuxi was stunned, at first she didn't want to believe what she heard but when the Yamen officers came to tie her up. She snapped out of her daze and growled at Chu Chang, " You bastard what do you think you are doing? I am the mother of your kids and your wife, how can you do this to me!"

  " Exactly the same way you can stomp on me for so many years!" snapped Chu Chang, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Mu Yuxi. " I have given you so much! The reason you can stand so high and tall in front of the villagers is also because of me! I was the one who helped you out, I financed your business ventures and my sisters cleaned up after you! Yet you went ahead and broke the one promise that I asked you!"

  The more he said the louder his voice became by the end of his speech, Chu Chang was shouting so loudly that his voice rang in the surrounding.

  " My body was damaged after giving birth to Mu Zhu but your daddy complained that I couldn't even make up for the lack of your family's bloodline being spread after taking such a promise from you. Because I didn't want to let you down, even though the doctor advised me not to get pregnant again, I still kept this child for your sake! And this is what you gave me?" He shook his head and wiped his tears as he turned to look at the stoic Yu Dong. " I am really sorry about what happened today, I know you want to take her life but she is not worth staining your hands for, if possible leave her to me. I promise I will give you a reasonable explanation."
