Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: I Will Go (6)

After the man in black had finished speaking, Mieko gave her orders: “Go, take one shoe from each of them and send it to the Dong Family, then tell them, if they want their daughter and son-in-law safe, let Yang Ruxin come over alone… If she’s late, next time we’ll send their hands and feet…”

In great haste, Dong Wenming, with Dong Wenxiu consoling her, just then, Dong Yushi suddenly came running over, stumbling and carrying a bundle: “My lord, someone asked to send this over just now.”

The bundle was opened to reveal a pair of shoes, one man’s and one woman’s, with a note beside them.

“This is…” Dong Wenming’s face changed color.

“These are Qiuqiu’s shoes!” Ya Family collapsed to the ground crying.

“Xinxin…” Dong Wenming glanced at the note before handing it over.

Upon reading it, Yang Ruxin furrowed her eyebrows; could it really be as she had guessed? It read, in half an hour, she must go to the bamboo grove behind the mountain. Be late, and next we will send hands and feet, then heads…

“Xinxin, I beg you,” on her feet now, Dong Yushi suddenly knelt down, “Auntie begs you, please save Qiuqiu, she…”

“Get up!” Yang Ruxin’s expression darkened, “Are you trying to kill me? Or are you trying to threaten me?”

Dong Yushi was startled, involuntarily glancing at Dong Wenming.

Dong Wenming was also embarrassed, hurriedly pulling his wife up: “What are you doing? Ruxin hasn’t said anything, has she?”

“I know, I know what I did might not have been appropriate, but Aqiu has never made enemies with anyone…” Dong Yushi swallowed hard.

“Sister-in-law, are you suggesting that because Xinxin made enemies, it has implicated you?” Dong Wenxiu was unhappy as she heard this, “We don’t even know what’s going on yet. Besides, did Xinxin ever say she wouldn’t handle it?”

“That’s not what I mean, I…”

“Then what do you mean?” Dong Wenxiu’s face became even more unhappy, “You, an elder, came up kneeling, how do you expect Xinxin to deal with this? Besides, it could very well be that your beloved son-in-law offended someone…”

Dong Yushi’s face turned pale instantaneously, subconsciously wanting to retort, but in the end, she didn’t make a sound.

“Don’t be angry, Xiuxiu. Your sister-in-law is just frantic and not speaking properly,” Dong Wenming sighed, “Xinxin, your uncle knows you are not obliged, so…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go,” Yang Ruxin felt somewhat disheartened, but her mother’s behavior pleased her. The small changes were indeed not bad.

“No, I don’t agree,” Dong Wenxiu outright refused, “They’re afraid of danger, but is your life not life? Let’s report to the officials…”

“I agree to report to the officials as well,” Yu Qingge sneered, “Xinxin doesn’t owe you anything. Besides, the matter of colluding with the bandits, poisoning Xiuaunt, the true culprit has not yet been found. And afterwards, someone beat up Xinxin’s men. Oh, and today, our carriage…”

“Qingge,” Yang Ruxin quickly cut off Yu Qingge’s words, “This is the Dong Family’s business, you’re an outsider, don’t get involved.” The less trouble at this moment, the better.

“If you say don’t get involved, then I won’t,” Yu Qingge pouted, then went to sit down on a bamboo chair to the side.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go,” Yang Ruxin reassured once more, looking at Dong Wenming and his wife, “I can guarantee to bring Dong Ruoqiu back safely, but I won’t guarantee that your precious son-in-law can return safely…”
