nYu Dong immediately understood the reason why Xiao Hua was suddenly willing to talk to her! He was interested in the silver that she used to buy the carriage.

"It's not like that. I had to sell my farming fields to settle my debts, and a few silver taels were left, so I thought l could buy this carriage. It was not expensive, just a few taels because the owner is in a hurry to sell it. It's not like you don't know what kind of person I am. I get attracted to beautiful things on instinct.

"

"A few silver taels to buy a carriage; that's a lot. This much is enough to support a family for a long time.

" Xiao Hua was filled with envy as he looked at Chen Mi, wearing brand new clothes and silver jewelry. Then he looked again at Yu Dong with a shy expression. If it was the original Yu Dong, she would have definitely asked Xiao Hua what was actually bothering him. Still, the present Yu dong remained silent. She wasn't the original owner. She had no good feelings towards Xiao Hua. It was true that the original owner was not a good woman. Still, she treated Xiao Hua really well. Yet, Xiao Hua never warned her about the happy powder she consumed daily. If only he could have warned her that the happy powder was poisonous and could kill her, then a life could have been saved. No matter how pathetic a person the original owner was, she was still a human who deserved to live her life.

nYet this mer, because of his indifference, has caused a relatively significant amount of damage to the original owner. If she continued to get entangled with this man, maybe her ending wouldn't be good either. Not that she had any thoughts of having any sort of relationship with him.

nYu Dong kept her mouth shut, and Xiao Hua, who was waiting for her to ask him what was troubling him, was actually too stunned to speak. How could she act so coldly towards him? Wasn't she the one who promised him that one day she would redeem him and give him a proper title? How can she act so distant towards him now? Sure enough, his daddy was right. All women were the same! They only liked a mer until their heart's desire was fulfilled, and once they got bored of them, they wouldn't even look in their direction, not once! Xiao Hua couldn't remain silent because he was in a desperate situation as well. His daddy was being pressured by a wealthy mistress to sell his first night. Xiao Hua didn't want that if he failed to redeem himself before that - no, he would definitely save himself before that because he wasn't going to sell his body. He would never degrade himself to a petty prostitute ever! Since Yu Dong didn't speak, he could only bring the matter before her.

"It's like this Dong Dong. A few days ago, I offended a rich mistress. She is forcing me to sell myself to her as an apology. I don't want to do that. You know me, right? I will only sell my talents, not my body. Please save me! I promise that I will serve you well in the future, just two hundred taels, just save me for two hundred taels?! I beg of you!

"

nXiao Hua tightly clenched his fists to his side. However, he understood that Yu Dong had no good feelings left towards him, and honestly, he understood that as well. The last time Viao Hua saw her, she was coughing up blood from overdosing on happy powder. He should have warned her as she was his number one customer, but he and his daddy were also restricted. His mommy would have torn him into pieces if he had stopped Yu Dong from buying the happy powder. He was selfish, and he knows that he was selfishly ruining others' happiness even now. But he had no other choice, a mer like him with no background, no education, and no power. What was he supposed to do?

n

"Why should my wife do that?

" Chen Mi, who was tired of watching Xiao Hua act so flirtatiously (he didn't) in front of his wife, couldn't hold back anymore. He passed Little bun to Yu Dong and then strode forward to stand between Yu Dong and Xiao Hua.

nLittle bun was cradled in his mother's comfortable hug, 'finally, inner peace'.

n

"My wife has no obligation to treat you well. Nor does she owe you anything! Why should she use her hard-earned money to save you? Do you think you are made of gold or something? Two hundred silver taels? Why should my wife take out so much money for you? What have you done for her?

"

n

"Isn't she treating you well too? I'm not asking her for money! I just want you to borrow it from her! Once I get out of this situation, I will serve her in return!

"

n

"My wife doesn't need you to serve you! A weak little boy with no positive traits other than his pretty face! Compared to you, I'm ten times better. I have given my wife a beautiful and cute son. I can even cook, clean, and do massages for my wife!

" (he cannot do anything of the things mentioned above, which is why Shen Li and Ye Liu are in charge of cooking, but he does have the confidence to boast about it.) Chen Mi patted his chest with brimming confidence.

nThe beautiful, cute, baby boy

"...

" I can't even get mad even if I wanted to. That's so annoying Isn't it? How can his daddy call him cute when he was a boy?

nYu Dong standing behind her husband while clapping

"...

" ooooh, that's some confidence we have there.

nXiao Hua, the pretty boy whose only good aspect was his face and nothing else.

"....

" He can't say anything because Chen Mi didn't say anything wrong about the situation.
