Ensuring safety

"You—"

"What you? What you?" Master Ke hated this mer so much that he wished he could kill him then and there. What had Master Xiao's parents ever done for him or this family that they should put their lives on the line for them?

He snarled at Master Xiao before saying, "If our wife doesn't divorce you then I am going to take our daughter away from her. I cannot have her live in a house with a mer like you, you don't even care for your daughters." 

"They were taken away but I don't see you worrying about them, in fact, you were perfectly fine. Spending time eating and drinking, but when it comes to your parents, suddenly you are worried enough to jump in a fiery pit." 

"And I don't care if you have to jump, in fact, I will push you myself. But why should our family jump along with you? Other than giving birth to two daughters, what have you done? We have given birth to daughters as well."
