Shao Hui did not know what he did wrong. He arched a brow and then turned to look at Mo Qiang. She was the one who looked the most surprised, and thus he decided to question her first instead of the rest of the family.
"It's nothing. I never thought that I would hear you standing up for me," Mo Qiang replied. Only then did Shao Hui realise that he had spoken up for Mo Qiang just now, but even though he was caught speaking up for Shao Hui, he doubted that he had done anything wrong.
Long Ju did deserve whatever was coming for her, but what irritated him was that the entire family was looking at him as if he were some sort of weirdo. While clutching the tablet, he glared at the rest of the family and snapped, "I am short-tempered but not an idiot. I will not call what is right as wrong."
"I am surprised by your wisdom," Wen Gui stated, causing Shao Hui to open his mouth but Yin Fu who had seen the strength of Wen Gui immediately stopped him with a shake of his head.
If Shao Hui offended Wen Gui, then he would be buried thirty feet underground and that too in a mush of blood and flesh, even his father would not be able to recognize Shao Hui!
When Yin Fu thought of the things that he had seen in the living hall of his family's base, he did not dare to go against Wen Gui. In fact, he wanted to worship his father-in-law for letting him and these other two idiots live, given that Wen Gui could have killed them at any moment, but he did not.
He remained patient with them —— for a mer of Wen Gui's calibre this was the biggest mercy for them!
"Why are you stopping me?" Shao Hui asked with a tilt of his head. His father-in-law was getting more and more unreasonable. It was time for them to put their foot down.
Yin Fu knew what was going on in Shao Hui's head. However, though he wanted to tell Shao Hui that those who had the strength could do anything, he paused when Wen Gui turned around and gazed at him.
That one gaze was enough to make Yin Fu shiver. He turned to look at Shao Hui and clutched his hand before saying,
"Little brother, repeat after me,"
However, Shao Hui did not understand why Yin Fu was suddenly asking him to repeat after him. But he was a simple-minded mer and trusted his brother a lot. Thus he nodded and asked, "What do you want me to repeat?"
"Just say that father-in-law is correct no matter what."
"Father in - law is correct no matter——wait what?" Shao Hui repeated after Yin Fu without hesitation, but as soon as he finished speaking he stopped midway and then turned to look at Yin Fu before saying, "What is the meaning of this? Why are you making me say this?"
Yin Fu looked at Shao Hui as if he were looking at a foolish child. He pursed his lips and then said, "Just remember these words, Hui Hui. In the future, they will be really helpful for your survival."
