Chapter 1254 The end of Mei Shu and Gu Mu
Gu Mu started to cry when she realized that Gu Man had betrayed her and Mei Shu. The two of them acted as tyrants because they thought that Gu Man wouldn't dare to complain against them, in fact, he indeed stayed quiet.
Because of this Mei Shu and Gu Mu were emboldened. They never thought that Gu Man was actually waiting for the right time to file a complaint against them! They thought that the reason Gu Man stayed quiet was because he cared for his wife and wouldn't want her to be thrown into the prison but looks like they were too conceited. This mer was even more ruthless than they expected!
Gu Mu and Mei Shu wanted to continue fighting but then the leader of the guards who rushed inside the restaurant came running out. She was panting and her complexion was pale as she said angrily, "There are more than sixty corpses buried in the vegetable patch. There are also signs of children being caught and kept in the warehouse. It seems like she also trafficked children!"
As soon as these words fell, the crowd of onlookers gasped. It was one thing for these women to kill grown up but they were also trafficking children? This was too much!
With such a piece of evidence displayed in front of everyone, there was no way Gu Mu and Mei Shu would be able to escape punishment. Their hands were tied up and they were sent to the Yamen. No one was willing to listen to their pleas.
Though Mei Shu had connections in the Yamen, however, Ren Wen was having trouble saving her own skin how was it possible for her to save Mei Shu?
Without Ren Wen obstructing the investigation, the entire Mei restaurant was investigated and soon after it was found out that Mei Shu used to hire thugs to kidnap children of those servers and mer servants who came to visit their elder siblings and sold them off, as for the deaths of the servers of the Mei family's restaurant—— according to the testimony of the servers working in the restaurant, the fights happened because of Mei Shu deducting the wages of the servers or trying to take advantage of the mer servers.
Most of the time she succeeded but instead of taking responsibility for those mers servers, she pushed them to take more clients which led them to quarrel with her.
Gu Mu was the same. She had threatened, molested and fought with many of the servers which resulted in the breaking of limbs and worst case scenario death.
When the case was concluded, even though there was no direct evidence, it was proven that Gu Mu and Mei Shu were indeed involved in the killings of the staff and trafficking of mer children.
They were locked up in prison indefinitely, followed by which Gu Man divorced Mei Shu and took the majority of the wealth that Mei Shu had accumulated leaving the rest of the mer concubines to fight over the remaining properties.
As for Kong Tai, he completely shed his gentle persona. He would curse and scold Gu Zedong for being a useless woman. The two of them who were sweet as sugar turned into bitter enemies.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lin Jing even remarked that eating bitter melon while watching the two made it taste sweeter.

However, this was in future. After the matter was settled and everyone returned to Big River Village, Zi Mu and Ye Zexian were really grateful to Yu Dong.
They knew very well that if Yu Dong was not involved in this matter then they wouldn't have gotten their revenge.
As Mei Shu said her connections were too wide and influential without Yu Dong, they wouldn't even dare to get closer to her.
Zi Zan worked at the restaurant and she did not have any backing, nor were they well versed in the law as Yu Dong, if the black-hearted woman took advantage of them, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Ye Zexian wished he could show how grateful he was towards Yu Dong but with him being kicked out of the house and nowhere to go, he and his husband were relying on Yu Dong. How could he even think of gifting Yu Dong anything?
He could only kowtow in front of Yu Dong and say with a voice filled with gratitude, "I am really thankful, sister-in-law. You avenged my daughter and even got that woman to compensate her."
Yu Dong shook her head and then said, "Brother Zexian, you are too kind. I see Zan Zan as my sister. Since Liu treats her so well, how can I let him down and watch his niece suffer?"
"Regardless of that, our family should still thank you," said Zi Mu with a stiff voice. "Without you, we would have been ruined. We have nowhere to go and no earnings and yet you helped us, sister-in-law. These days people are not as kind as you."
Zi Zan praised Yu Dong, "Aunt Yu, you were really smart. You did the things most methodically! Those two did not have the slightest chance to defend them."
"Whats more we are also lucky without Old Madam Qiao backing us up, those women would have still gotten away from their punishment and Brother Man, he was really cool. He actually stood up against his wife!"
Chen Mi who heard about everything that happened at the town also nodded. "You are right, if not for her then we would've been troubled by those women. It's a good thing that Old Madam Qiao was in the town and helped us. Without her, those three women would have tried to distort the truth."
From what he heard that woman Mei Shu was really sly, she could actually lie through her teeth! With Ren Wen supporting her, she could have turned the blame on Yu Dong and their family!
Hearing this Yu Dong nodded and said, "We really should thank Old Madam Qiao. Otherwise, Marquis Qiao wouldn't have arrived at the restaurant so quickly."
Maybe she should invite Old Madam Qiao to her house and treat her to dinner along with Jiang Fenhua and Zhou Yan.
