Long Ju pursed her lips. She knew that it was her duty to protect the territory, and she was trying her best to do so, but it was just —-
'Mo Qiang, she had left quite a troublesome mess for her to solve,' Long Ju thought bitterly.
"I am trying my best to solve this situation, sooner or later, the situation will get better," promised Long Ju but the elders had heard her promises far too many times, they all sighed and then Elder Tan said,
"Miss Long, I am not saying that we do not trust you, but we have been hearing the same thing for months. That is right, this situation has been going on for months, how many times have you said that you will handle this situation for it to result in nothing?"
"We need results," said another elder with a sigh. She looked at Long Ju with an assessing expression before adding swiftly, "We have also heard the rumours regarding the current situation and how it was Miss Long's decision that was taken in a moment of stubbornness that has resulted in this situation."
Another elder nodded after he was done listening to what everyone had said, he turned to look at Long Ju and then remarked with a sly note in his eyes, "We know that the current mess is because of the mer you are keeping at home, Miss Long. We do not know anything, and we have nothing to say regarding your personal affairs, but if your personal life affects the territory, then we need to step in."
Long Ju stiffened as she looked at the elder who just spoke and then questioned, "What do you mean by that?" As she was cornered by others, she turned to look at her mother who shook her head, expressing her helplessness as well.
This matter was indeed out of their control. The elders knew about Xie Li being the cause of the problem. The fact that two women fighting over a mer was causing their territory was already laughable but what made the situation even worse was the fact that Long Ju refused to back down no matter what, despite waiting and watching the territory getting worse and worse, Long Ju did not make a move.
It both exasperated and infuriated the elders of the Long territory as well as the elders of the Long family branches.
What kind of sorcery did Xie Li do on the two, for two women to go this far for him? Being a mer he was the one who was subjected to the criticism and not the woman despite being the victim of the situation.
No one sympathized with him, instead, they treated him as the cause of the entire situation.
"We need you to send Xie Li away," the elder replied with a stern expression. He was disappointed that Long Ju who had the greatest potential among the Long family children had caused such damage to their territory.
