Bab 77: Epidermis

"Old master, I've troubled you with my illness. I've been a burden to you for so many years and I've been unable to help you much. I'm really regretful. I just think that it's better to just die like this. It'll be a release for both you and me."

The madam was also panting when she spoke, and she spoke intermittently, making it difficult for Mo Ruyue to listen from the side.

"Wife, what are you saying? If I despise you for being a burden, I would have already written a divorce letter to you, why wait until now? So, don't ever mention these things again!"

The magistrate pretended to be displeased. The couple "looked at each other affectionately" and remained silent. The only thing missing was the part of "holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes," which made the whole scene look extra fake.
