Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 939: Could only dreamYu Dong sighed, she should have expected something like this to happen. She turned her gaze to Lang Ru and before Lang could say anything she intervened, "It's all right, as long as she is back home while being safe and sound, that's all that matters."          

    

Though Lang wanted to scold Lang Ru, she also understood that her daughter only wanted to keep her family safe while making sure that they are protected, there was no need for her to get angry but even so, as a mother, how can she not get angry upon seeing how bold her daughter had become!     

Lang glared at Lang Ru who smiled dutifully and then while clinging to her father, she cheekily said, " I just did not wish to bother you and father, mother. The capital is so far and the conditions in the capital are not great, I would have only put you in danger."      

She then turned to look at Yu Dong and handed her an envelope before saying, " This was given to me by Elder Miss Chu. She asked me to make sure that this letter would reach you. I did a good job right sister Dong?"     

" How many times I have told you to call me aunt?" Yu Dong pinched Lang Ru's face before she slit the letter open and read the content of the letter, the second she finished reading the letter, a sigh escaped her lips causing Shen Li to walk over and take the letter from her.     

His eyes flickered over the letter before he closed his eyes and rubbed the space between his eyebrows causing the other mers to crowd around him and ask,     

" Whats the matter?"      
" Did something happen?"      

"What's going on? Why the long sigh?"      

One after another Ye Liu, Fang Chi and Chen Mi questioned Shen Li who pushed them away from his face and answered,      

" The shop which used to sell strawberries and blueberries at the capital has been shut down."      

" What?!" Ye Liu snatched the letter as he read the content of the letters and snapped, " This is bullshit! Did we work so hard on this shop? How can they shut it off just like that? What do they mean by that it did not satisfy the guidelines?"      

"It's just a feint," Yu Dong explained as she took the letter from Ye Liu. Her eyes flickered as she read through the contents and continued speaking, " We were sending our fruits to the Cheng family before they transported it to the capital, those who wanted to trace us down were not able to do so with the Cheng family and Magistrate Li working together with some efforts from Marquis Qiao, most probably this is an excuse to make me appear in front of the court."      

She balled the letter and then threw it in the brazier before adding, " The princess probably thinks that our family only relies on growing fruits which is why she thought that as long as our family stops selling them, I will be forced to challenge the officials in the court."     

" She is ruthless," Chen Mi's eyes widened to which Yu Dong shook her head and then said, "It's not that she is ruthless, she is smart. The eldest princess most probably needs funds since she doesn't hold the imperial seal of the palace."      

She paused and then turned to look at Yun Xuan before asking, " I bet she cannot use the treasury of the royal palace without the seal.     

"That's right…why are you asking me, I am just a merchant!" The mer realised belatedly that a pit had been dug for him which he jumped without realizing. He glared at Yu Dong and muttered, " I only know this because I worked with the royal family."      

' Pretend keep pretending!' Yu Dong sneered, she had a feeling that Yun Xuan was not simple and that feeling only intensified when she saw him getting really agitated when he heard that the Empress was dead.      

But she did not say anything, since Magistrate Li did not kick him out of the town, she could only leave him alone for the time being.      

" Sister, are we going to be poor again?" Yu Mai only understood that the shop had been closed and could not comprehend the rest of the explanation. He was worried that if he got poor then he would only be able to eat eggs!      

Yu Dong touched Yu Mai's hair and then gently smiled at him before saying, " Of course not even if the shop in the capital is shut down, don't we also have an oil mill and farms? We will not starve as long as work hard, so don't worry."      

Yu Mai instantly jumped up feeling relieved as he turned to look at Chen Mi and said, " We can eat those pearl meatballs without any worry, Third Brother-in-law!"      

Chen Mi: "…." Were you thinking of storing them?      

What Chen Mi did not know was that Yu Mai was indeed thinking of storing those meatballs thinking that if they became poor then this way they will somehow manage to grab the taste of meat.     

Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Yu Dong laughed before asking Chen Mi and Ye Liu to take out the pearl meatballs from the steamer while leaving the task of arranging the utensils to Fang Chi.      

" Will everything be fine?" Shen Li asked, he was worried since their family was only getting bigger and not smaller with this shop shut down wouldn't it be troublesome for Yu Dong to take care of such a big family?         

    

" Don't worry, I will think of something," Yu Dong pursed her lips and rubbed Shen Li's head. It looks like she could sell strawberries and blueberries for a while but that did not mean that she couldn't sell in another form as long as Magistrate Li was to make sure that no one traces her down.      

Her eyes flickered and then she turned to look at Lang before saying, " Tomorrow go and some sugar from the town, no matter how much just grab it all."
