"What did I tell you before? With your looks and qualifications, finding someone who's devoted to you shouldn't be difficult, right? But you, you insisted on finding a married man! Now you've been dumped! What a tragedy..."

Mei Yu'er's face was full of disappointment and frustration.

"Mother..."

Zhu Li hung her head, looking aggrieved, but couldn't say a word.

After all, she already knew that Shen Yunhao was already married. Under such circumstances, she still fell in love, so she couldn't blame anyone else.

"Forget it, since it's already happened, there's no point in saying anything. We still need to solve the problem at hand!"

Mei Yu'er pondered for a while before speaking, "Now, I'll ask you a few questions, and you'll answer them truthfully!"

The little white dragon nodded hastily, clearly placing all his hopes on his mother.

"First of all, do you really like him... um... never mind, never mind."

"..."

"Second, are you sure he really likes you?"

"Of course!" Zhu Li said angrily, biting her lip. "If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin appearing out of nowhere, Yun Hao should be in Beihai right now!"

Don't you realize that you're the one who's causing trouble?

“I’ll believe you on that point for now…” Mei Yu’er nodded. “At least from what you said before, this child is indeed not a bad person. If he really had ulterior motives, with your intelligence, you would probably have been completely taken advantage of long ago, leaving not a drop of water for him…”

"..."

"Okay, now the most important question is the third one."

At this point, Mei Yu'er's expression turned serious: "The woman you mentioned, is she the child's legal wife... What kind of person is she?"

"this……"

Zhu Li scratched her head: "I've never met her in person, so how would I know what she's like? But... I think she must really like Yun Hao, otherwise she wouldn't have given up something so precious!"

Mei Yu'er shook her head and said, "Sometimes liking can turn into obsession... It doesn't matter if we haven't met her yet, we'll go through it one by one. First, what's her name? Is she outstanding in appearance?"

Zhu Li knew the name and answered quickly.

But her appearance...

Zhu Li once again recalled the words Shen Yunhao had said.

I imagine... it probably won't look that good...

"Her name is Ning Yuyao, right?" Mei Yu'er pulled out a booklet and said seriously, "I don't care what she looks like now, but at least she's not above stunning beauty. In that respect... you're better than her! Isn't that right?"

Zhu Li pursed her lips and remained silent.

After seeing Shen Yunhao's reaction, she still had that much confidence.

"Secondly, what is her identity?"

"They seem to be disciples of the Guanghan Palace, or even direct descendants of the Palace Master!"

"The chief disciple of the Guanghan Palace! Her status is indeed impressive... But what about you? You are the seventh princess of my entire North Sea Dragon Clan, with a highly respected position. In this respect, she is incomparable to you!"

"..."

"Okay! So now here's the question: you're prettier than her, you're of higher status, and you and that little guy are quite compatible, so why does he insist on breaking up with you?"

Mei Yu'er narrowed her eyes, revealing an expression that seemed to see through everything: "I can only think of one possibility... that is, the husband's authority is weakened!"

"???"

The mother stood with her hands behind her back, a cold smile on her face.

“A wife who is clearly inferior to you in every way will definitely feel threatened and become hostile towards you when she hears that her husband has found such an outstanding woman outside!”

If this person were even more possessive, it's quite possible that they would use some means to force that boy to separate from you. I'm used to all of this!

The problem is, that kid's a pushover, or maybe his wife was using him to get revenge, and he only spoke to you through the White Dragon Lantern because he had no other choice!

Zhu Li's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood.

"That's it! That's it! It must be that Ning Yuyao is narrow-minded and petty, using our past favors to coerce Yun Hao! Otherwise, why would Yun Hao have separated from me!"

Having figured this out, Zhuli quickly grabbed Mei Yu'er's arm and said with great enthusiasm, "Mother! What should we do now? How can I get Yunhao back?"

"Oh? Now you know to listen to me?"

Mei Yu'er glanced at her sideways and pursed her lips.

"Oh, Mother~~" Little White Dragon hugged Mei Yu'er's arm and whined, "I promise I'll be good from now on!"

"Okay! Then we'll listen to you and not argue!"

"..."

Seeing the little white dragon instantly wilted, Mei Yu'er could only sigh and explain, "If that child only had you, then being a henpecked wife would be a good thing... But since he wants to be like your father, juggling multiple relationships, he should at least show some manly backbone. Otherwise, the household will be in chaos and everyone will be in trouble!"

"Your father is a living example. Beihai is in complete chaos right now, and he still has the nerve to enjoy himself outside. And look at your concubines… Damn it, I'll tear them apart one day!"

Candlelight: "..."

"Ahem..." Realizing she had lost her composure, Mei Yu'er pursed her lips again and said seriously, "Li'er, where were we?"

"Oh right! The husband's authority is not strong..."

"According to the customs of the mortal world, having three wives and four concubines is common, but if a man wants to enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives, he must also show the corresponding courage, otherwise why would those women be willing to follow him?"

"If your boyfriend had any guts, he should have come to Beihai to pick you up! Instead of waiting for you to take the initiative to find him. Otherwise, he will always be forced by the authority of the legal wife, which is a dead end. No matter how much you fight, you can only be subordinate to him!"

...

at the same time.

"Let me go! I need to go to Beihai to find Sister Li'er!"

"No! Why are you so agitated?!" Mo Yan grabbed him desperately from behind. "If you just leave like this, what if your little wife comes back? Won't you drive another one away in anger?"

"..."

"Hey! I already said I'd wait for you, so going later won't make a difference, right? At least you should have settled things on one side first, right? You were so skilled when you were pinning me down on the bed and making love to me, but now you're all confused. Honestly, you can't even be a proper jerk..."

Shen Yunhao covered his face, his expression full of sorrow.

"Am I finally going to take this step, being so naive?!"

...

"What? You mean Ning Yuyao... is Nie Qingshuang's disciple?"

Mei Yu'er's eyes widened suddenly.

"Yes, I heard he has the potential to become a celestial being, and is highly valued by the Lord of Qingyou Palace..."

Zhu Li hugged her knees, her eyes were red, and the distress on her face had not disappeared.

Just wait like this...

What if... what if Yun Hao doesn't come?

At this moment, Mei Yu'er suddenly spoke up: "Daughter...we can't wait any longer..."

"Huh?" Zhu Li looked up and blinked.

But Mei Yu'er, who had just been advising her to let go, now had a face full of cynicism: "So many years in Beihai, so much money spent, raising such a grown daughter..."

At this point, Mei Yu'er slammed her hand on the table.

"It's what we're using right now! We'll fight for our pride, not for the steamed bun! Let's take it from him!"
