“You can’t!” When Xiao Chuxia heard that Yu Yue was talking about moving Yu Fei, she immediately panicked. She said to Yu Yue, “If you move him now, then it will be really dangerous.”
“So you know it’s dangerous!” Yu Yue sneered at Xiao Chuxia. “I thought that you were unaware of how dangerous it is to fall from a cliff. Why did you let my brother go up the mountains? Where were you then!?”
More importantly, how could such a thing happen to her brother? Yu Fei was not an idiot. Why would he go to the mountains and that too at night?
Yu Yue was certain that there was something more to this incident.
Yu Dong had the same thoughts. Why would a mer who goes up the mountains for no reason? Was this really just a coincidence, or was it a man-made injury?
Not to mention that Zhou Ziming was also really suspicious; according to what Mammy Cao found out, that mer was well liked by his family but not to the point where he was doted on like the apple of their eye.
According to Mammy Cao, there were too many coincidental similarities that Zhou Ziming shared with Ding Nuan Nuan. And the more Yu Dong looked at him, the more she agreed with her.
That mer was really too weird!
While she was lost in her own thoughts, Yu Yue glared at the woman who was kneeling in front of her and said to her angrily, “You better come out with me when I am asking nicely. I don’t have the patience to deal with you at the moment. Do you understand what I am saying, Xiao Chuxia?”
Xiao Chuxia did not want to leave Yu Fei. She was worried that Yu Yue was trying to distract her. She knew and had seen how protective the Yu family was towards Yu Fei. What if she was to leave him alone? Wouldn’t Yu Yue take him away?
“Stop looking at me like that,” Yu Yue sneered as she knew what the woman was thinking. “If I wanted to take my brother from here, I am telling you—you will not have been able to stop me. So you better come out with me. If you don’t tell me what caused my brother to become like this, then I am telling you, Xiao Chuxia, this is not going to end!”
“My brother is lying on the bed, and no one knows when he will wake up. Do you still want to hide the truth about how you have let him down? Do you think you are worthy of him?!”
Xiao Chuxia lowered her head in embarrassment. That’s true; she was the one who caused Yu Fei to lie in the bed like this, so what was she trying to hide at this point?
She nodded and agreed, “Very well, I will come with you. I will tell you what happened—as long as I am aware of the ins and outs of the matter.”
Xiao Chuxia got to her feet and then looked at Yu Fei, who was quietly lying on the bed. Honestly, she could not understand how such a thing happened.
Others kept telling her that it was because she disdained Yu Fei for not being able to give her a child, but the truth was that she had been married to him for so long.
She married him when she was fifteen, and he was just fourteen. The two of them grew up together, and Xiao Chuxia liked Yu Fei a lot.
If she didn’t like him, then she would have never agreed to not take another husband. The reason she agreed to such a harsh request was because she truly liked Yu Fei.
Her family thought that she had lost her mind and even asked her to leave Yu Fei and marry someone else. After all, even though the empress allowed women to marry three mers who did the Yu family think they were to put such a request in front of them?
But Xiao Chuxia refused to listen to them and married Yu Fei despite the complaints of her family.
However, after a few months, she and Yu Fei found out that Yu Fei had a cold body and it was difficult for him to get pregnant.
Once this matter was known to her family, they once again opposed her marriage with Yu Fei; in fact, even Yu Fei asked her to take a concubine and let him go. He told her that he would have let her marry another mer but couldn’t as he was not someone who could withstand such a thing.
Xiao Chuxia, of course, refused to accept such a thing to happen. She would rather have no child by her side, then marry another mer and let Yu Fei walk away from her. She liked him just that much!
The two of them went through so much, and she had loved him in all kinds of situations. So how could she all of a sudden turn her back on him? It just seemed too unbelievable.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, Yu Dong pulled Wu Junfen along with her.
Yu Dong placed her hand on the wrist of Yu Fei, and her eyes flashed. It was just as she expected; Yu Fei’s life force was running really low; if they hadn’t taken the shortcuts and reached this town in five days, then Yu Fei would have certainly died.
What was even more surprising was that Yu Fei’s organs had long deteriorated to the point that he should have died by now!
Looking at Yu Fei carefully, Yu Dong couldn’t help but frown at this; it was either the result of a poison or his life force being sucked at a rapid rate.
His liver was also failing.
He just fell from the cliff; there was no way he would be injured like this.
And since Yu Dong knew about the peculiarity of the situation, she knew what was wrong with Yu Fei.
