Chapter 565: Are you seriousMother Qui stared at Yu Dong in surprise and shock, she wanted to tell Yu Dong that she was wrong but no matter how many times she opened her mouth and closed it, she couldn''t bring herself to say anything.


    " I…I did not want him to die!" Mother Qui thought long and hard before she spoke, she didn''t know how she was supposed to defend herself. She might have been a bit strict with her son but she never once wanted him to die so painfully like this.


    Her heart was aching for her son as well, all right!


    But no matter how much her heart ached for her son, no one cared about her. Especially not vige head Gu, who could almost imagine the stern warning and scolding she was going to receive the second this matter was known to the officials of the town.


    " So, you knew that he was missing, isn''t that right?" asked Vige head Gu, her voice trembling with rage as she looked at mother Gu, her pupils darkening as she wished she could smash open the head of this woman and see what kind of dung she had inside of her skull instead of a brain. " Why in the world did you say that your son was at the house of your rtives when I came to ask you about him, hmm?"


    " That…" Mother Qui shivered under the gaze that was locked on the back of her head. She didn''t want to admit that she has lied to the vige head but there was no option left for her, so, she swallowed hard and replied with a quivering voice, " I … It''s just that I was afraid that the vigers will find out and I will have to be ashamed—-"


    Her words were cut off when Vige head Guo raised her hand and pped her right across her face, the ringing in her eyes was so loud that for three seconds mother Qui was dazed. She blinked her eyes and covered the side of her face that was pped before she turned to the vige head and said, " You pped me, vige head Gu? How can you do that!"


    " So, what are you expecting hmm? Should I go back and bring you a mary reward or something?" Vige head Gu was so furious, that she wished she could p every viger who has lied to her. They knew that their sons were missing but they still kept mum, even when she went to their house and asked for the whereabouts of their mers, they lied one after another without even blinking an eye.


    Because only Qui Jiuyue was recognised among everyone else, Mother Qui was the unfortunate one who has to bear the brunt of Vige head Gu''s anger.


    " I went to your house, I asked you where your son was, you knew that he was missing but instead of telling me the truth, you went ahead and lied!" She pointed to the corpse of Qui Jiuyue and shouted at Mother Qui so hard that she showered her with her spit. " That he went to the house of your rtives, do your rtives live six feet down? Should I send you there as well? Do you have any idea what kind of mistake you have made?"


    Yu Dong watched the confrontation happening in front of her and she shook her head, the thing both Vige head Gu and Mother Qui along with every other viger who hid the information about their son missing were in the wrong but because Vige head Gu was the one who was in charge, so her shirking off most of the responsibility was only normal.


    She didn''t say anything, and as far as the matter didn''t have any impact on her, she will not care about anything at all.


    Mother Qui too knew that she would not be able to escape from this matter, so she could only lower her head and listen to the admonishing lecture of Vige head Gu, if she knew that this matter was this serious she too would have made it known ——


    Wait!


    " Vige head Gu, you knew that something like this was happening didn''t you?" Mother Qui was shocked to her core upon seeing the body of her son and couldn''t think straight but now that her mind was slowly recovering from the shock, she could think straight. " You knew that someone was roaming in the vige killing mers but you didn''t tell anyone!"


    This time it was Vige head Gu''s turn to choke, she coughed and spluttered before turning to Yu Dong who raised her hands in surrender. " Woah there, don''t look at me now, I told you earlier that you should tell the vigers about it but you did not listen to me there is nothing I can do now."


    Yu Dong knew that since she and Li Li were the ones who found this burial ground, they will be implicated in the mess but she has always been a careful person and there was no way she was going to do something as foolish as leaving leeway for others to attack her.


    This was why she already told the vige head that in case the matter escted to the point where she wouldn''t be able to control it, it will be her responsibility and not hers.


    Vige head Gu turned silent, she knew that Yu Dong would be of no help to her. Back then she deliberately hid the information from the vigers because she didn''t want anyone to think that she wasn''t doing a good job as the Vige head but she didn''t think that her small selfishness woulde to bite her in the butt so soon.


    Mother Qui also heard Yu Dong, she understood that the vige head Gu deliberately hid such a piece of important information from her and every other viger.


    " How could you do this to us?" demanded Mother Qui as she red at Vige head Gu. " If you have told everyone that a mad murderer was roaming in the vige, we would have taken care of our sons better!"
