The position of official husband meant that no matter what happened, the wife could not divorce him. Even the secondary husband did not have this right, after all a secondary mer was also a concubine no matter how many powers he had.
Not only that the official husband was the part owner of everything that his wife owned, and only his children were allowed to inherit the biggest shares of the properties while the secondary husband's children were given the second largest shares followed by the mer concubines.
This was the reason why many mer concubines in the town wanted to throw off the official husband and take over their position. The same was true in the case of the villages.
Thus Shen Li thought that Yu Dong was thinking too naively. There was no way Murong Si would agree to give up the position of the official husband, especially if he was a mer who was smart and knew what was good for him.
