Yu Dong could see Zi Qian's kindness but she was afraid that Old Master Zi and the rest of the Zi family would try to have designs on Zi Han if she was to let Zi Qian rescue Zi Han.
She had seen Old Master Tong's shamelessness and she had also seen Mother Shen's annoying behaviour, she knew that if she did not clear off all the strings then Yu Dong would surely face another round of trouble in the future.
As she did not want to get entangled in another drama. Though she was aware of the fact that Old Master Zi and his family would surely come to look for Zi Mu once they realized that Zi Mu had gotten richer than they could ever become, Yu Dong thought it was better to have a fake slave document to keep these leeches away from sucking Ye Zexian and Zi Mu's blood anymore.
Thus, she rolled her eyes and miraculously acted like a scum before saying, "What are you saying, Village Head Zi? It's not like I am forcing them to sell Zi Han but as you can see he is the only one who has little worth. If I sell him then what will I have? Zi Mu is a middle-aged man no one would be willing to buy him even if I sell him, Ye Zexian is the same.
Their daughter is even more useless... the only one who can make up the debt they owe is Zi Han! Do you want me to sell him too? Why did I come here then? Should I have not gone to the Yamen and dragged the Zi family to the Yamen?"
She paused and then added, "Of course. If they pay the fifty taels I will leave right away. I am not selfish or cold-hearted hearted but I am indeed upset after losing thousands of taels." Yu Dong turned to look at Zi Han and patted him on the head before smiling kindly at him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Though she was smiling kindly, her words were heartless, "Only by tasting the fresh meat will I feel a bit calm, if you snatch it away...then who will pay for the thousand taels that I lost including the credibility that I had in the town?"
"This is not only about money but reputation!"
She looked at Old Master Zi and nodded, "Very well then I will prepare separation documents including the slave documents. Once they are signed your family can do whatever they want to do."
As she spoke she turned to look at Zi Mu and Ye Zexian who seemed relieved rather than worried. Sure enough, her suspicions were right, Yu Dong was helping them but it did not make Zi Qian angry nor did she relay the truth to Old Master Zi.
Since they wanted to separate then let them separate. Anyway, it wouldn't be the Sand Village that would lose its reputation, it would be Old Master Zi and his family.
Zi Qian asked her daughter who was a scholar and a teacher in the town to write down the two documents, once they were written she handed each document to Yu Dong and Old Master Zi to read.
Old Master Zi was illiterate and thus he did not understand what was written on the contract. He turned to look at his eldest son who took it from Old Master Zi and read everything to his family.
Yu Dong on the other hand did not need any help as she was educated and could read through the slave contract and, Ye Liu could also read it Though he knew that these slave contracts were fake, he still felt upset. He pinched his wife on the waist and looked at her with an aggrieved look on his face.
"You are not happy? Want to teach them a lesson?" Yu Dong whispered and even created a field around them such that only Ye Liu, Zi Mu, Ye Zexian and Zi Han could hear her.
"Yes," Ye Liu said ruthlessly. Seeing the anger in her husband's eyes, Yu Dong pinched his face. She said,
"Since you were the one who asked it..how can I refuse? I will teach them a good lesson."
