This was why he never wanted to marry that woman, he knew that she was shameless and wouldn't care about him at all. If not for the son that he gave birth to, that woman would have brought another mer by now in the house, if not for Yu Cheng, who knows how he would have been treated by that wife of his. If only Mother Yu married him, instead of that woman—— he really couldn't understand why that woman rejected him. 

  　　He was much better than that bastard she brought home to get married, what did that bastard even have? A shy face? Seductive pace? Sensual voice? Other than that what did he have! He was so much better than him.

  　　As he stepped out of the house, he slowly snuck out of the courtyard and headed towards where the village women sat down together to have a chat, because his mother-in-law didn't say anything after she returned, he didn't have a good idea about whether those two husbands of Yu Dong died or not, however, he hadn't heard any cries and sobs most probably they made it out alive. 

  　　What a shame.

  　　He carefully walked in the shadows as he came to a stop in front of the village gossip spot that was located under an old tree that was at the entrance of the village and started to eavesdrop on the gossip that was going on between the women. 

  　　" Did you hear it? Yu Dong's husband can't get pregnant." said a woman as she sipped on the alcohol that she was drinking

  　　" How did you know that?" asked another woman as she poured the alcohol into the woman next to her, before munching on salted melon seeds. " I don't think Yu Dong would have let the matter known to the villagers."

  　　" My sister-in-law works in the town, she told me that she saw two mers who came to the old lady doctor for a check-up and do you know what was the result of that check-up?" whispered that woman with a conspiratorial hiss. Then she looked around before leaning in, Qiu Bai leaned a bit closer as well. " The doctor told them that they were poisoned."

  　　The woman holding the wine jar dropped it causing the others to shout at her, she mumbled a quick apology and then turned to the other woman who was divulging the secrets of the Yu family. " Poisoned? Who do you think would do something like that? They aren't living in the house of an official or the harem of an Empress, how can they get poisoned?"

  　　" Who knows? Maybe it was that little mer of Yu Dong or maybe the new one that she just married." shrugged the woman before drinking the entire shot of alcohol in one gulp. " Who asked Yu Dong to so much freedom to her husbands, look what kind of tragedy they brought me this is why I always say… we need to *hiccup* always keep our mers under our thumbs. If she slapped her husbands in the morning and trodded on them at night, they wouldn't have the guts to do something like this ever, but she just has to let them loose, now she is going to suffer, I tell you."

  　　" I——"

  　　Qiu Bai didn't listen to anything other than that, his face was flushed with excitement as an eerie smile etched on his face. Yes, this was better than he expected… if that bitch's husbands were poisoned, they will definitely be under public scrutiny just like he was when that bitch's mother brought that slut with her and broke their engagement! Back then he was subjected to such criticism as well, what did they say—— that he was the one who was at fault, that he must be the one who had the flaws to be rejected by her in such an embarrassing way. That he was the one who was lacking in virtue, that was why Mother Yu broke the engagement between them. Hehe, now her daughter's husbands were going to be subjected to the same treatment back then she couldn't understand the pain that he was suffering through. 

  　　Now, he can finally pay her back for all the humiliation that he had to go through. He covered his face and laughed, not his usual tittering laugh but full-blown devil-like laughter. "Hahaha, how does it feel huh elder sister-in-law? Does it feel good? Your second branch getting destroyed, hahaha, don't worry this is just the beginning…"

  　　His lips curled into a devious smile as he swiftly snatched a jar of wine from the now drunk men and swaggered his way to the destination that he had in mind. 

  　　Once he reached where he wanted to go, he opened the jar of wine and looked at the tombstone in front of him. "Brother-in-law, do you know that your three sons-in-law are incapable of having kids? Don't you think that it's a joyous occasion, one that calls for celebration?" With that, his lips hooked up in an evil smile as he poured the wine on the tombstone. " I know with that annoying optimistic attitude of yours you will be thinking that your fourth son-in-law will be able to give birth to a healthy child and save your bloodline," dropping the wine jar on the tombstone, Qiu Bai watched it break into pieces and chuckled crazily as he held the tombstone. " I am afraid that will never happen because even your last hope will give birth to a stillborn, I swear my name on it. Even God cannot save him this time, I have planned it all." 

  　　He stood back up and spat on the ground while coldly glaring at the grave in front of him. " This will teach you not to snatch something that never belonged to you in your next life. Remember to learn this lesson well, brother-in-law."

  　　——-p.s: what did you think that the torture was over? I have more tears planned for you guys. Muahahaha.
