Guide to raise my cutie husbands

"I am sorry to interrupt, but what do you mean by that Murong Si would have been thrown into the woods by her mother?" Chen Mi who had never suffered under the hands of his mother could not understand the thought process of Old Madam Murong or Murong Tai. So, when he heard Ye Liu say that the Murong family would throw Murong Si into the forest, he couldn't help but question what Ye Liu meant.

Ye Liu also knew that unlike him who was treated like an accessory by his parents, Chen Mi was someone who did not face such a situation. His mother loved him and his sisters cared for him even now when the second sister Chen and Eldest Sister Chen were having a Cold War, Second Sister Chen treated Chen Mi really well.

She would never forget sending Chen Mi a few things that she made at the carpenter's shop that was owned by the Chen family even if Chen Mi did not open her gifts.

"Mi, you might not understand it because your mother loves you. However, not everyone is loved by their parents especially mers," Ye Liu sighed just as Ying Nan came out of the kitchen. He took the cup of water from Ying Nan and took a sip from it. Ye Liu then explained, "Murong Si might be a beautiful mer including being educated too but in the end, he is just a mer."

Ye Liu was reminded of his own days when he was pushed to learn this and that by his father, and when he asked his daddy why he needed to learn embroidery and sewing when he did not have any interest in learning them, the answer that his daddy gave him was still fresh in his mind even though it had been years since he last saw his daddy——

'It will increase your value, Liu.'

Increase his value. Like he was some sort of accessory that needed to be polished and cleaned such that he would be sold at a high price. Ye Liu had felt unbridled rage when his daddy told him that the only reason he was forced to learn something that he did not want was to increase his value such that he would be sold at a high price.

He felt angry and unjustified when he saw that his sisters could do whatever they wanted while he had to learn this and that, all because his gender was something that everyone in the society looked down at.

Just as Ye Liu felt the memories of his past turn into veiny tendrils and wrap around his throat, a hand clasped his and he felt a pressure at his back. He turned his head to the side and saw Yu Dong leaning on him.

"Liu is correct. In the eyes of Old Madam Murong, her son being educated and beautiful are just assets that she can show off to others before asking for a desired price that she wants," Yu Dong placed her chin on the crook of Ye Liu's shoulder as she explained the rest of the matter to Chen Mi.

She could see that it was a bit difficult for Ye Liu who had been sold off by his parents, thus she took the initiative to explain it to Chen Mi. Your next read is at empire

She leaned her head against Ye Liu while her hand caressed his head even though Ye Liu tried to push her off, she did not budge.

"If I had refused Old Madam Murong's request, she would have been angered to the extreme. After all, she did not get what she wanted and she couldn't break the engagement either because that would lower the value of her son who would lose his reputation and virtue after losing his engagement."

"But would Old Madam Murong be willing to hand over her son for nothing?" Yu Dong's expression turned serious and Chen Mi stiffened as he listened to her words. "No, she wouldn't. In fact, she would think that the entire fault lay with Murong Si, it was because of him who lacked the charm that we did not agree to her suggestion."

"If that happened then she would have taken her anger out on that poor mer," Yu Dong was rudely peeled off by Ye Liu who shoved her face aside. However, Yu Dong turned her face and kissed his palm causing Ye Liu to silently scream as he scolded her, "What are you? A dog?"

"Bow, Bow… master," Yu Dong winked at Ye Liu whose face turned red as he started to hit her.

"How many times I have told you to not tease me like this!" Ye Liu snapped while Yu Dong blocked his hits with her hands. Even though Ye Liu was fast, Yu Dong was even faster as she was the one who taught him.

"Anyway, what I am trying to say is," Yu Dong caught Ye Liu's arms and hugged him from behind. At the same time, she made sure that he couldn't use his arms to hit her.

At first, he struggled but after a while, Ye Liu went pliant against her like a stuffy, stuck-up cat whose head had been caressed in the right way.

"We first need to bring Murong Si out of that family," Yu Dong told Chen Mi who seemed to have understood what was going on. "If we leave him alone and something happens to him then even if we are not in the wrong… I think all of us will feel guilty. Especially, Ah Tong.

She would think that it was because of her selfishness a mer lost his life, even though she was willing to take his responsibility despite this marriage being forced on her."

"If that is the case," Yu Dong smiled at her third husband before her expression twisted into a malevolent sneer. "Should we not treat them to some sweetness before introducing the sour?"

CRASH!

"You damn idiot!"
