Chapter 83 083 The Road to Winning Favor
Before the palace master could ask, the mermaid princess spoke first, admitting her mistake without being asked.

"Uncle, I just wanted to teach this heartless woman a lesson for Brother Ye Yuan!"

Before Su Mo and Fei Yan could speak.

The palace master angrily rebuked, "Nonsense! Ye Ling, you are simply being willful and reckless! Miss Su came to treat Ye Yuan, how could you be so rude! Injuring someone!"

The palace mistress, standing to the side, also looked furious: "I have indeed spoiled you too much, raising you to be so lawless! Lord Jianyi, you shall handle this matter according to the clan's rules!"

Jiao Li looked at Ye Ling with a calm gaze: "Without asking any questions, you arbitrarily attacked and injured people. According to the clan's regulations, you shall be whipped twenty times."

Upon hearing this, the mermaid Ye Ling's pupils constricted sharply: "Aunt... I just felt sorry for Brother Ye Yuan and wanted to scare this female so she would take the initiative to break off the engagement..."

"Speaking recklessly and never learning her lesson, ten more lashes!" Lord Jianyi waved his hand, signaling the servants to quickly take Ye Ling away for execution.

As expected of the living ancestor of the underground palace, while His Highness was worrying about how to prevent Miss Su from breaking off the engagement, she was busy helping Miss Su's other fiancés...

The palace master and his wife exchanged a glance, a hint of heartache still flashing in their eyes.

However, mistakes must be punished; this is a consistent rule of the underground palace, and no one can break it.

After dealing with Ye Ling, the Palace Mistress walked to Su Mo's side and looked at her apologetically, saying, "I have no intention of exonerating Ye Ling, but she acted inappropriately because she was worried about Ye Yuan. After she has finished her punishment, I will personally go to explain the situation to her and have her apologize to Miss Su."

Su Mo said calmly, "Madam, you are being too kind. I don't care about these things. She injured me, and you and the Palace Master have already ordered her to be punished. In my opinion, that's even. There's no need to make her apologize to me in such a wronged manner. I've never liked to force people to do things against their will."

Upon hearing this, Mother Yeyuan frowned slightly and looked at Su Mo again with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Fei Yan frowned and said, "If Madam has finished speaking, please allow me to take my wife back to her room to change."

Mother Yeyuan nodded slightly and said, "I will have a servant call you for dinner."

"Thank you ma'am!"

After saying that, Fei Yan quickly carried Su Mo away.

Yueying and Moxiao followed closely behind.

Mother Ye Yuan came to Father Ye Yuan's side, frowning with worry, and said, "I wonder if Ye Ling's whip will ruin Ye Yuan's plans."

The doctor from the nearby medical school found some poison powder on Su Mo's clothes.

He held it to his nose and sniffed it gently, then his body swayed involuntarily.

Fortunately, Jingming, who was standing nearby, caught him: "Master Haiyi, are you alright?"

A glint of excitement appeared in the eyes of the doctor from the maritime medical university. "What an amazing medicine!"

Then everything went black and she fainted...

The palace master and his wife, along with Lord Jianyi, watched helplessly. Here we go again! They want to try every medicine they see!

Jingming looked at them blankly and asked, "Palace Master... what do we do now?"

Lord Jianyi frowned, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.

Haiyi's reputation as a "drug fanatic" was well-deserved; sometimes he really couldn't understand how people could be so unafraid of death...

He rubbed his forehead and said to Jingming, "Give him one of the antidote pills that Miss Su gave him before. We'll go ask Miss Su for the antidote again when we eat later!"

The palace mistress was furious: "Is there no one normal in our underground palace? Why do they have to cause trouble for me at this critical moment!"

Can't you even give her some face in front of her future daughter-in-law?!

That Miss Su didn't seem like an ordinary woman who was easy to coax to begin with, and now, with all this mess she's caused, when will her eldest son's marriage be settled?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned to the palace master and said, "You are not allowed to enter my room for the next ten days!"

"Um... Madam, how can you take your anger out on me? I am completely innocent!"

Without turning her head, the Palace Mistress said, "You have failed in your duties! You deserve punishment!" "No, Madam... isn't this punishment a bit too harsh?"

After saying that, the palace master followed along, leaving behind a trail of small pearls.

Jiao Li looked at the pearls that were almost overflowing on the ground and shook her head helplessly: "Sure enough, being love-struck is hereditary."

……

At this moment, in Su Mo's room, the maid Xiao Yu brought over a change of clothes and then left.

She planned to apply some medicine to the red marks on her body before putting on her clothes.

But the three guardian figures in the room seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.

Su Mo was still wrapped in Fei Yan's outer robe, her fair shoulders exposed.

The exposed calf was fair and smooth, and she looked like a jasmine flower after being battered by rain, so delicate and charming that one couldn't help but feel pity for her.

The three men's gazes towards her gradually shifted from initial pity to a dark and uncertain expression.

Su Mo sensed something was off about the atmosphere and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Get out of here, I... I need to get dressed!"

Yueying paused in her fanning, her gaze shifting: "My lady is injured. Yueying is heartbroken. Let me see your injury, please?"

After saying that, he flashed to Su Mo's bedside and reached out to grab her hand.

Startled, Su Mo quickly hid further inside, her eyes wide as she looked at Mo Xiao: "Hurry up, take him out!"

Mo Xiao's deep gaze swept across her face, then he grabbed Yueying and lifted her up.

He originally intended to throw the person out and then return to send Fei Yan away.

But... just as he reached the door, he was suddenly pushed away by a powerful palm strike!

Immediately afterwards, the door was slammed shut by the people inside...

Enraged, Yueying stood outside and cursed, "Damn it! You dog, you free-range chicken! How dare you use such underhanded tricks!"

After saying that, he glared at Mo Xiao with a frustrated expression: "It's all your fault! Now you've fallen for Fei Yan's trick, are you happy now!"

Mo Xiao appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

He never expected that Fei Yan would resort to this tactic. After all, he seemed to be the least competitive and unassuming person.

Mo Xiao felt his temples throbbing, as if he was about to explode.

This was the first time in his life he had ever been so angry.

Yueying was so angry that she was about to kick the door, but Moxiao stopped her. After all, this was the East Sea, and if she made a fool of herself, his wife would probably be angry.

Inside the room, Su Mo blinked her bright, watery eyes.

Looking at the composed Fei Yan, he frowned and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Fei Yan loosened his grip slightly at his sides, realizing that his actions just now were not gentlemanly and even somewhat petty.

He never imagined he would become such a despicable person... but now it seems this kind of life will be the norm from now on. He fears he will never be able to act like a gentleman in her presence again.

Actually, when he pulled her out of the pool, he had already seen everything he needed to see...

Just thinking about that scene makes my blood boil.

Suppressing her surging emotions, Fei Yan took a step forward and gently touched her flushed cheek.

With a calm expression, he gently coaxed her, "How about I stay and help my wife apply the medicine?"
