Chapter 741: Someone else ——2
—————————Yu Dong smiled upon receiving the written word from Magistrate Li, she was so happy that she could not stop her lips from curling up into a grin as she stared at the paper which was signed by Magistrate Li that she will be handing the rights of this territory to Yu Dong soon.
" You seem to be happy, Miss Yu," Magistrate Li turned to look at Yu Dong who was looking down at the paper that held her sign and placed the brush that she was holding in her hand on the table. " Does this really make you this happy?"
" Well it does, even if you call me greedy for it," Yu Dong replied with a hand behind her head as she rubbed the back of her head and then said, " Thank you, Magistrate Li." She was not a stupid person, she knew that if Magistrate Li wanted to force her, she could have done it easily but she was kind enough to hand over this land without making things difficult for her.
She looked at the paper in her hands with the seal of the magistrate and smirked. With this, she will like to see who will threaten her to leave this place, in fact, they all will have to think twice before making things difficult for her and her family.
Especially the old Yu family!
" There is no need for you to thank me," said Magistrate Li as she waved Yu Dong\'s gratitude aside with a wave of her hand and then turned her head slightly to the left while looking at the young princess, her eyes flickered and then Yu Dong heard the woman say, " Think of it as a reward for protecting the future."
Since the second princess entrusted Yu Dong with her daughter, she must have some sort of plan in her head.
She turned to look at Qiao Sha and then said, " We should be leaving now, we have overstayed our stay here. There is a bunch of things that we need to deal with in the town."
Qiao Sha did not want to move from the couch on which she was sitting since it was too comfortable and she liked the vibe of Yu Dong\'s house. There were no nosy servants who tried to pry into her matters and she did not have to take care of the shadow guards here either who always lurked in the vicinity of her house, hoping to catch her with her guard dropped.
" Do we have to ?" She asked hoping that her friend will agree with her such that they will be able to have lunch with the Yu family but Magistrate Li was a woman of sheer will, she ignored the pleading voice of her friend and then said sternly, " Yes, we have to. Have you forgotten there is a bunch of documents that you need to sign and the work at the docks needed to be overseen by you as well?"
Magistrate Li reminded Qiao Sha of all the responsibilities that were waiting for her causing the woman to let out a whiny noise but then she turned to look at her concubine and asked, " Are you going back home as well?"
Jiang Fenhua blinked his eyes, he was slightly surprised that Qiao Sha even cared what he did and at what time he returned home but then he morphed his surprise into a blank expression and then stated with a stern expression, " No, I am going to be staying with Sister Yu and have dinner with her family before returning home ."
He did not like the atmosphere at the Qiao house at all, the only person who treated him nicely was Qiao Sha\'s grandmother and she only treated him well because he was carrying the child of the Qiao family. These days since he was getting closer to his due date, Qiao Sha\'s grandmother, the matriarch of the Qiao family was hovering at the top of his head.
Asking him to not eat this and not eat that, he was getting stifled and on top of that when he returned to his courtyard he will have to face the stiff face and disrespectful servants who called him names saying that he created a rift between the master and the mistress of their house.
Why would he go back to a home like that? If not for the fact that he could not stay away from his house for days, he would have stayed with Yu Dong and her husbands!
" Wh..what why?" Qiao Sha believed that Jiang Fenhua came after her to meet with Yu Dng which was why she was slightly annoyed with him but when she heard that he was not leaving with her, she was stunned and angered as well. She was leaving this house, so why was her concubine staying here?
But if she thought that Jiang Fenhua would follow her silently without asking anything upon seeing her frown, she was in for a rude awakening since Jiang Fenhua not only did he not stand up from the couch but instead he narrowed his eyes and said, " What do you mean by why? Were you, not the one who said that I am nothing but a nuisance at the home? This is why I am going to stay as less I can at the home and then you will not have to see my face at all., Should you not be happy?"
Qiao Sha who was taunted and snapped at was stunned because Jiang Fenhua had always tried to please her, but not once had he tried to go against her. If she was to say \'seat\' then he will not be daring enough to stand up from the spot where she asked him to sit down but now he was snapping at her?
What the hell? Was it because he was getting bold or was it —— she turned to look at Yu Dong who was sitting opposite Jiang Fenhua. Or was someone else in his heart now?
