Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 85: Using a fortune to secure the position of the rightful husband
When Su Mo and Fei Yan came out of the room, they found that Yue Ying and Mo Xiao were still waiting at the door.

Su Mo wondered how much of the commotion inside the house they had heard. As she thought this, a blush involuntarily crept onto her fair face.

Perhaps feeling a little guilty, he didn't notice the worry in the eyes of the two people.

Yueying's eyes flickered, and before anyone could react, she suddenly wrapped her arms around Su Mo's slender waist.

"Our little Momo has lost weight recently. Sit next to me in a bit, and I'll feed you. Eat more!"

He then gave her a casual touch, his fingertips tracing intimately across her waist: "So thin, it really breaks my heart~"

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at him sideways and struggled to whisper, "In public, please be mindful of your image. Have some self-respect, okay?"

Yueying frowned unhappily and muttered, "What's wrong with me just giving you a hug? You and Feiyan have been cuddling in the room for ages, don't you have any shame?"

"..."

Su Mo turned her head and glared at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a long pause, she feigned nonchalance and said, "We...we didn't do anything~"

Yueying's lips twitched with anger; she was practically bursting with rage! How dare she claim she didn't do anything?!

He reached out and gently pinched her earlobe, which had turned red with guilt, and said, "My wife is a typical example of lying through her teeth! I heard everything!"

"...Eavesdropping is not a good habit."

"I don't care, I want everything he has! You have to treat me the same way you treat him! No favoritism allowed! And tonight, I'm sleeping in the same room as you!"

"...Isn't this...not a good idea?"

[Are you kidding me? My skinny little body really can't withstand their torment... That sly fox has ill intentions; I think they're trying to kill me...]

Moon Shadow: "!!!"

He'll be driven mad by his wife's sharp tongue sooner or later. He's so sincere, and she still manages to misinterpret it like that...

Yueying held Su Mo's hand to her heart, her face sincere: "I promise I won't do anything outrageous, I'll just stay with you, is that alright?"

Su Mo glanced at him hesitantly, as if considering the truthfulness of his words.

He sighed helplessly, "Although... I really want to sleep with you, I'm even more afraid... of sleeping you to death."

"cough!"

Su Mo's face flushed red, and she nervously glanced around: "Keep your voice down!"

Is this something to be proud of?

Yueying narrowed her eyes: "Alright, then I'll tell you in detail when we go to bed tonight."

Su Mo: "..."

She's completely at a loss with this fox that can't understand human speech.

Behind them, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan slowed their pace, exchanged a glance, and their thoughts were self-evident.

We need to find a way to get rid of the poison in the wife's body as soon as possible.

Halfway there, she was stopped by a servant: "Miss Su, His Highness has woken up and requests your presence."

Su Mo nodded and followed him, temporarily changing direction, heading towards Ye Yuan's room.

Fei Yan and the others stayed outside and went to a secluded place to wait for her.

Ye Yuan was leaning against the headboard, drinking water.

Upon seeing her approach, her light blue eyes suddenly lit up, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Su Mo frowned nervously, reached out and touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to stop, Ye Yuan grabbed his wrist.

"My lady, are you angry with me?"

"Ok?"

Ye Yuan looked at her cautiously: "I already know about Ye Ling's matter..."

Su Mo gently comforted him, "No, she's just concerned about you. Besides, your father has already punished her." Ye Yuan tightened his grip on her wrist, then lowered his head and asked in a low, humble voice, "My lady... will you despise me?"

"..."

Su Mo didn't quite understand what he meant. Did he think he would become disabled, and that's why he felt inferior?
Su Mo glanced down at his reattached arm, her expression serious: "Don't worry, I will definitely make sure you recover completely."

Ye Yuan raised his eyes, his light blue pupils meeting her bewildered gaze: "That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if you would abandon me... My wife, you don't actually like me that much, do you?"

He almost cried when he asked that question.

His light blue pupils were brimming with water droplets, almost spilling out like tiny pearls.

But when she thought of the person in front of her, who disliked crybaby orcs, she had to take a deep breath and hold it back...

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Su Mo couldn't tell whether she felt soft-hearted or sorry for him: "No, it's not that... I just think you're quite young and might not understand those emotions."

Ye Yuan pouted and retorted, "No, I'm two months older than you! I know much more than you..."

Su Mo was speechless for a moment. "Is that so?"
Ye Yuan looked at her with sorrowful eyes, but his words were heart-wrenching: "I just love you, though I don't know why. Besides you, there will never be anyone else I would risk my life to save. You are different..."

His grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously, as if he were desperately trying to grasp something he couldn't hold onto.

In the quiet room, his almost broken voice echoed: "I'm not very strong... and you always have to coax me, so you don't want to be my wife, do you?"

His fingertips, gripping her wrist, trembled uncontrollably: "You can have Fei Yan, Yue Ying, Mo Xiao, and Cang Lan by your side, each of them is more powerful than me... But, I will really work hard to become stronger, strong enough that I will never let my wife worry about me again. I can wait, wait until you are willing to like me, is that not allowed? Or... does my wife really hate me?"

Su Mo looked at the person in front of her, feeling a pang of heartache: "I don't hate you..."

Who could dislike such an adorable mermaid... She's so well-behaved, it's impossible to refuse her.

Ye Yuan was overjoyed and hugged the person in front of him tightly: "What difference does it make if there's one more of me?"

"bite"--

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Host, adults don't make choices! They want them all!"

Su Mo: "..."

[It sounds like it makes a lot of sense... Oh no, I'm going further and further down the path of being a scumbag...]

Outside the door, the Palace Mistress breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I felt a sense of relief thinking that simplicity has its advantages; after all, few people can be heartless enough to reject a sincere heart.

In this respect, Ye Yuan inherited his father's good qualities.

Lord Jianyi sighed. Once feelings are involved, there's no turning back. It seems these love-struck fools in the East Sea are beyond cure.

He's not worried about anything else right now, except that His Highness's simple nature might not be able to compete with those few.

So he said to the palace mistress, "I think we should take this opportunity to urge them to get the wedding done soon."

The Palace Master nodded: "We'll get married sooner or later anyway, so it's fine to get it a little earlier! Lord Jianyi, hurry up and go to the storeroom to check the dowry and get ready!"

The Palace Mistress frowned: "Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

Why does she seem so eager to commit marriage fraud?
Lord Jianyi frowned: "What's the point of inventorying? Just open the storeroom and let Miss Su choose for herself. Taking out the treasures of our East Sea in exchange for His Highness's position as a legitimate husband is not a loss. Don't blame me for not warning you, once Miss Su and those others leave the East Sea, with His Highness's temperament, who knows when he'll be able to marry them smoothly!"

The palace master was convinced: "My son is simple-minded, and it will be difficult for him to compete for the emperor's favor in the future. It would be a perfect solution for him to secure the position of a legitimate husband!"

The palace mistress glanced at him speechlessly, feeling extremely annoyed.

You really can't marry someone who's love-struck, or you'll end up with an exact copy of them, and even the competition for favor will depend on the family fortune of their mother...

Forget it, we can earn the family fortune later. Let's find a way to send that love-struck little one out first!
dark place.

Yueying, Feiyan, and Moxiao exchanged a glance.

What is this thing called?

They argued fiercely without reaching a conclusion, and these guys from the East Sea actually tried to bribe the mistress with money?!
Even a sneak attack shouldn't be this unprincipled, right? There should always be a first-come, first-served order, shouldn't there?
The thought of the wife's money-grubbing nature instantly turned sour on everyone's faces...
