Chapter 227 Misplaced Trust
"Xuan'er, do you know what you're saying? What are you doing? Have you ever thought about it? You're so condescending to marry her, and what has she done for you? If she truly loves you and has you in her heart, why doesn't she choose to marry you?"
She has no power or influence, so marrying you will actually bring her happiness, won't it? You've lowered yourself so much for her; if she treats you well after marriage, that's fine, but what if she doesn't? The world is full of temptations; if she can marry you, she'll marry someone else in the future.
Can you accept sharing a wife with another man? Okay, even if you can, what if there are more and more men in the household, and her love for you disappears? You must understand the saying, "We only hear the laughter of the new concubine, not the tears of the old."
She doesn't even have a proper place to live now. Have you thought about what kind of life you'll face if you go with her? I raised you with great care and love, cherished and protected you, not so that you would become degenerate.
Even if you don't become the Demon King, you will still be the Demon King's younger brother in the future. If Mo'er has a younger brother who has to lower himself to become someone else's husband, how can he face people? How can he convince the masses?
"Xuan'er, you've been bewitched by that vixen, but your mother hasn't! Your mother can't just stand by and watch you jump into the fire!" Qingyin's eyes were red and brimming with tears, and she was trembling all over, as if she was extremely angry.
Mo Yu held her close, patting her back to help her catch her breath while looking at Mo Xuan with a complicated expression.
To be honest, Mo Yu didn't think Mo Xuan had fallen into depravity. How could it be considered depravity for the sake of his beloved? On the contrary, he thought his son was very courageous and worthy of being his son.
However, he couldn't show it or say it. Firstly, he didn't want to upset his wife; he was her husband, and naturally, he had to stand by her side unconditionally.
Secondly, he was also somewhat worried about Mo Xuan. After getting injured, he came back and said he would marry no one but her. Now he said he wanted to marry her. He had never met the woman and did not know her, so he was naturally worried.
"If people look down on me and disobey me just because my brother got married, it only proves that I haven't done enough, haven't done well enough, and haven't earned their trust. In that case, I need to work even harder. A demon king's reputation is earned through his own efforts, and his achievements are made through his own actions. What's the point of being a demon king if you have to sacrifice others for everything?"
Mo Chen's voice came from outside. He had come to return the official business that his mother had entrusted to him, but he hadn't expected to hear this. He had to admit that he was starting to admire his younger brother. For the sake of someone he loved, he was willing to do anything and say anything.
"Mother, Father!" Mo Chen bowed to Qingyin and Mo Yu, then placed his things on the desk. Ever since Mo Xuan and his mother had a falling out, his mother had assigned some government affairs to him and Mo Xuan to handle, so that they could become familiar with government affairs and inherit the position of Demon King in the future.
He finally experienced the principle of treating everyone equally with his mother. This time, his mother did not favor Mo Xuan. Everything was treated equally, without any bias.
"Why are you here?" Mo Xuan looked at Mo Chen and frowned. Why did this guy come at this time?
"Chen'er, you! Xuan'er is confused, how could you be confused too? He is your own brother!" Qingyin couldn't believe that Mo Chen would say such a thing.
“Mother, I say this precisely because he is my younger brother. As his elder brother, I want him to be happy. If he can be happy with that woman, then I will support him. Mother, if you stop him this time, he will resent you and Father. They might even become enemies.”
His mother should know his bad temper better than anyone. If he can't be with the one he loves, he will be in great pain. Does his mother want to see him suffer? Does she want to see him develop resentment towards you? Does she want to see him unhappy in the future?
He is the son of the Demon King, my own brother. Although it may sound a bit unpleasant for him to condescend to marry an ordinary woman, so what? As long as we are strong enough, who dares to say anything? Although you are the Demon King, you are also our mother. Don't you want to see your son happy?
What does it matter if he's an ordinary woman? What does it matter if he's from a powerful family? If he can't be with the one he loves, it's no different from death. I know Mother is worried that he'll regret it in the future, or that he'll be bullied in the inner quarters. But Mother, don't forget, Mo Xuan's demonic power isn't just for show. He's the son of the Demon King. If he regrets it one day, the grand gates of the Demon King's mansion are always open for him. He can come back.
Does that mean Mother will turn him away when he comes back? Besides, it's already a favor that he doesn't bully others; who would dare to bully him? Moreover, even if someone did dare, aren't Father, Mother, and me here? None of us will stand by and watch him be bullied.
Similarly, we all know Mo Xuan's personality. Once he decides to do something, he will definitely do it. Even if his mother tries to stop him, do you think she can? Unless you imprison him, but then he will hate you, and you can't imprison him for life. So it's better to set him free.
So, the things Mother was worried about weren't really problems at all! Mo Chen's voice was soft, but it was as if a hammer had struck the hearts of everyone present.
Qingyin's tears finally flowed. Mo Chen was right; she couldn't really abandon Mo Xuan. She couldn't really imprison him, nor did she want mother and son to become enemies. In the end, she was just worried about him and didn't want him to suffer.
"Sigh, never mind, you've all grown up. As your mother, I can't control you anymore. From now on, you're responsible for your own lives. I can't and don't want to interfere anymore." After saying that, Qingyin waved her hand, signaling them to leave.
"Thank you, Mother and Father!" Mo Xuan said with a joyful expression, kowtowing three times before getting up.
"Father, Mother, your son takes his leave!" Mo Chen also bowed and left the study.
On the way out of the Demon King's Palace.
"What are you up to? Why are you actually speaking up for me?" Mo Xuan stopped Mo Chen. He didn't believe that Mo Chen would speak up for him. It would be good enough if this guy didn't kick him when he was down. How could he be so kind?
"I'm your brother, isn't it only right for an older brother to help his younger brother? You don't even thank me, and you even suspect me of having some kind of conspiracy? Sigh, I really wasted my good intentions!" Mo Chen crossed his arms, looking heartbroken, which made Mo Xuan feel disgusted.
