230 Mad Woman Iii (1/2)

However…

Rong Yan's hand firmly clutched onto her bloodstained dudou. She also seemed to notice the pain, as her eyebrows were furrowed.

But she still would not let go!

”Yu'er!”

A deafening roar came from outside the wooden house, sending chills down Tang Yu's spine. The silver needle in her hand fell to the ground. As she turned her head in fear, she saw a middle-aged man with a vexed face.

”F… father, why are you here?”

Tang Yufei quickly hid the jade plate for fear that it would be discovered by Tang Luo.

”Yu'er, what were you doing!” A green vein popped up at the corner of Tang Luo's forehead. He shouted furiously, ”What did you do to Yan'er!”

”I...” Tang Yu's eyes darted around nervously. She quickly suppressed it. She said with a faltering voice, ”Father, Aunt Rong has been living off of us for the past ten years, and she still wouldn't marry you, I just… I just can't bear it anymore...”

Tang Luo's face was still vexed. ”That is none of your concern!”

”Even a dog would guard the house! What does Aunt Rong know?” Tang Yu bit her lip. She would rather die than to have Tang Luo know about the treasures in Rong Yan's hands.

Moreover, she could never let him know how she had mooched off so many spirit herbs from Rong Yan's hands.

After all, there was a price to a strain of Grade-3 spirit herb. Even in the Tang family, she could only obtain a strain from the pharmacy every six months. Ever since she had stumbled upon Rong Yan's spirit herbs, she had already swindled and mooched off thirty to forty strains of spirit herbs from her.

The price of these spirit herbs was enough to feed a family for a lifetime.
