The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 122 I'll kill you!

The commotion drew the attention of everyone around.

An unnatural expression flashed across the long-faced lady's face.

"This……"

She was somewhat ashamed and indignant: "I didn't say anything wrong!"

The woman behind him tugged at him, saying, "Alright, we're in the wrong after all."

Why are you pulling me?

The long-faced woman shouted, "Her husband is bedridden, useless, and a waste of money. Can't people even speak the truth?"

Yu Tingwan coldly replied, "Yes, my husband is seriously injured and is currently receiving medical treatment, but so what?"

"Did I spend your money?"

Why are you in such a hurry?

Yu Tingwan: "Don't say that my husband was once a member of the Wei family army, protecting the country. He was wounded on the border. If it were someone else, their health would be poor, and the whole family would be worried and suffering. It would be difficult enough for them. A stranger's words could easily break them down. What? Do I owe you something? Who gave you the right to talk like a coarse woman with long hair and short brains?"

Upon hearing that it was Wei's army, the expressions of the onlookers turned sour. Their gazes towards those people were filled with reproach.

"You woman, your words are so awful!"

"Yeah, they offended you. Why should you criticize them like this? How dare you yell like that? Does whoever shouts the loudest have the upper hand?"

Yu Tingwan wasn't going to let her off the hook either: "It's true that it cost money, but I don't agree with your claim that he's incompetent."

"My husband can write, can your man?"

The long-faced woman was starting to panic: "What's it to you!"

"My man can paint, can your man?"

The girl continued, "He can play chess, but what about your man?"

"Oh, by the way, my husband can also play the flute."

The first two are true, the last two are made up by her. When you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity.

Yu Tingwan: "There's nothing I can do, he can do everything."

Besides appearance...

"He's incredibly capable."

"Your man isn't even as good as a single hair on his head."

At this point, Yu Tingwan still felt uneasy and slowly pulled out a hidden arrow from her sleeve.

She was fiddling with it with her head down, speaking softly.

"I don't want to argue with you."

Yu Tingwan lowered her head: "Let me figure out how to use it."

In a gentle tone: "I'll kill you."

"You...you dare."

The long-faced woman had witnessed the power of the hidden arrow firsthand, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Yu Tingwan mimicked her tone: "You...you'll know once you try."

As she spoke, she raised the hidden arrow from her sleeve.

The girl closed her left eye and aimed.

Yu Tingwan laughed: "This is the first time I've used a live target. It'll be a good opportunity for me to practice."

then……

There's no after that.

Before Yu Tingwan could finish enjoying herself, the group of people ran away.

Watching the group's disheveled figures, she curled her lip and muttered disdainfully.

"A paper tiger only dares to talk big. It doesn't even use its brain. I could actually take action in public."

She doesn't want to go to jail.

Everyone:...

The way you just acted, not only were those people scared, but even outsiders felt intimidated.

Yu Tingwan bought the cloth, but couldn't resist Hui Niang's nagging, so she went to the rouge shop and asked for a box of rouge, but she didn't buy any hairpins.

This trip was quite fruitful.

Not only was her basket overflowing, but Yu Tingwan was also carrying large and small bags in her hands.

"It's cold, so I'm making mutton hot pot today."

Hui Niang: "I asked Dr. Qian, and he said that A Lang eats it very well and it's very nourishing." "Put in some dried and rehydrated mushrooms from home, add some fresh bamboo shoots, and it will be very delicious. If it's prepared properly, it won't have a gamey smell."

Yu Tingwan had never tried this method of preparation before.

However, Hui Niang said it was delicious, so it must be good.

Her eyes sparkled, and she was about to say something when her gaze fell on a certain spot, causing her to stop in her tracks and remain lost in thought for a long time.

Two people were standing on the street. They were Yang Weiwen and a middle-aged man whose face they didn't recognize.

She thought it was the latter.

He was still as tall as I remembered, but he had aged considerably, and his posture was no longer as upright.

When her parents perished in the fire, it was this man who took pity on her, went to great lengths for her, and personally handed her over to Hu Dazhu.

Yu Tingwan still remembered this person; he had once squatted down.

"This is your mother's own brother. Your uncle has found him for you. You must take good care of yourself from now on, so your parents can have peace of mind."

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, for the middle-aged man noticed and looked over.

After their eyes met, they realized they didn't recognize each other, and the other person withdrew their gaze.

He asked, "Lord Yang, do you recognize that young lady? She keeps looking this way."

Yang Weiwen turned his head to look and recognized him.

"Then you should be looking for me."

Yang Weiwen said sincerely, "Please consider what I have to say. The situation is different now. Once the court takes over, the cities will definitely be renovated. I have been at the post station these days. If you have thought it through, come and find me."

The man pondered for a moment, then bowed to Yang Weiwen and said, "Yes."

After he took his leave, Yang Weiwen approached the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He showed no airs of an official, smiling as he looked at Hui Niang.

"Auntie, how is your husband doing these days?"

When Hui Niang saw the official, she panicked and said, "I...I'm getting better. Thank you for your concern, sir."

Yu Tingwan then looked at Yang Weiwen: "That person just now..."

It's not something that can't be said.

"He used to be a constable in Ze County."

Yu Tingwan asked in a low voice, "Once?"

Yang Weiwen did not notice her unusual behavior.

"I haven't been on duty at the yamen for a long time."

Presumably, they couldn't stand seeing officials exploiting the people, and they were unwilling to go along with it.

“These days I accompanied the officials who came to the capital to check the case files from earlier years. I also learned from the people during the registration that he was a good constable who did more conscientious work than any previous county magistrate.”

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

Over time, Zexian County has changed a lot.

In the ten years since she went to Xilin Village, she has become so unfamiliar that Yu Tingwan no longer recognizes her.

Even if they are unwilling to admit it, the Yu family in their memories, after being burned to ashes, has now been rebuilt and other people have moved in.

It seems as if she left no trace of her life.

Even now, when she walks down the street, she has to ask for directions to go anywhere.

She knew the story behind the clinic's plaque, but all the doctors practicing there were unfamiliar faces.

I remember the Li family's clothing shop.

The Li family's daughter-in-law had once asked her mother for embroidery lessons, and every time she visited, she would bring her a bag of maltose.

That hairpin was a gift from my mother.

She recognized Officer Zhu, but she was no longer the little girl with red eyes from back then; he didn't recognize her.

Things change, people change—this is the essence of life.

"He is a good constable."

Yu Tingwan smiled and said, "Lord Yang can rest assured to take him under his wing."

Yang Weiwen: ?
How did you guess what I was thinking!
On this matter, Hui Niang mustered her courage and asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, when will the imperial court send someone to thoroughly investigate these unjust cases from over the years?"

"When the Fifth Prince was alive, he ordered his men to immediately send a message to the capital. His Majesty cares for the people and will not delay upon learning of this matter. Don't worry, Aunt, the net of Heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; those people will surely be punished."

After saying that, Yang Weiwen felt something was off.

It seems... it seems that the He family has already been punished.

General Wei's pet, Fu Meng, would go to the Dong family's cell in prison every day without fail, rain or shine. And from some unknown day, it even started 'greeting' the He family.
