古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 566: Fight.

Village head Gu turned silent she knew that she wouldn\'t be able to escape responsibility this time, so she swallowed her words with which she was scolding Mother Qui and then immediately said, " What do you mean by this? As you can see the corpses that are lined in the landslides are not a month or two older, they are older than more than a year. How was I supposed to deal with something like this? It\'s clearly the fault of the previous village head, she didn\'t take care of the village and didn\'t see that someone was actually harming mers like this, why are you blaming me for something that wasn\'t in my control? As I was newly appointed, I too was getting to know everything wasn\'t I?"          

Village head Gu was smart but Mother Qui wasn\'t a novice player who didn\'t know anything. She understood that Village head Gu was trying to shirk responsibility by digging a pit for the previous village head at once, after all, there was no way possible for her to drag the previous village head who has left the village for so long back to the village and ask her to take care of this matter was there?      

Telling her that it was the fault of the previous village head was similar to asking her to revive her dead son! The previous village head left the village for more than six months and no one knows where she went, from where will she find the previous village head and then ask her to deal with this matter huh?      

" Do not try to shirk responsibility, Village head Gu!" Mother Qui shouted at her as she pointed a finger at the woman and glared at her. " If you have told me earlier that something like this was happening then I would have certainly never done anything as stupid as ignoring the matter of my son leaving home and never trying to find him——"     

" Enough, is this the time for you two to fight like this?" Yu Dong snapped at Mother Qui and the village head Gu, they were fighting like this in front of a pile of corpses were they serious? " This is not the time for you to fight like a bunch of children, instead of yelling and screaming like this why don\'t you two come up with a solution and look for the person who is behind these killings? If we keep fighting like this then I am sure that the killer will only take advantage of this situation"      

Silence fell between them.      

The village head sighed heavily as she placed her hands on her face and then dragged them down as she nodded and said, " Yu Dong is right, this is not the time for us to fight like this, we should be taking care of what is happening around the village first. Madam Qui, go and call the women of the village here so that we can discuss what is going on and what should we do…" she turned to the corpses that were piled in the corner and then sneered coldly, " Those women who have deliberately hidden the news wouldn\'t be able to escape my wrath, how dare they hide the fact that the mers of their family are missing!"     

Village head Gu wasn\'t going to be the least bit forgiving towards these families who kept mum despite her asking again and again whether someone from their family was missing!     

" Oh, I understand," Mother Qui replied but as she turned to look at the corpse of her son, she was reminded of how Yu Dong used to tease him when she was not sober as she was now and her gaze instinctively turned to Yu Dong who raised her brow and then sneered coldly. " Don\'t even think about it, right now I am more than capable of taking care of myself and my family. If I wanted to build a harem with all the mers in the village by taking them as my husbands, I assure you that I don\'t need to threaten them, they will agree to marry me without me even asking them."      

Yu Dong\'s words were vulgar but they were true every mer in the village was attracted to her now, if she wanted to then she can take any mer as her husband as long as she was willing. She doesn\'t need to physically torment a mer or kill them for something as simple as that.      

" Don\'t go around looking at Yu Dong like that," Village head Gu needed Yu Dong\'s help so she was willing to support Yu Dong against Mother Qui and what was more she knew that Yu Dong was not the one behind these killings, after all, she didn\'t have the reason to do something like this and everyone knew just how much she cared about the mers. " If she was the one who was behind the killings then she wouldn\'t have brought me here to show this piece of evidence, don\'t go act suspicious of her."      

Then she turned to look at Yu Dong and said, " Yu Dong while you are here please help me question the women of the village, I am sure they will create trouble as soon as I ask them about this incident."
