The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 127 No one can touch you

Wei Zhao's tone was flat.

It was as if this luminous pearl was nothing more than an ordinary light source to him, nothing special.

Yu Tingwan bent down, picked it up, and weighed it. She was amazed and shocked.

After all, she had only heard of it.

This is the first time I've seen this before.

The girl frowned, deep in thought.

"No matter how powerful the Dong family is, at best they are just businessmen. Outside of Ze County, they are nothing. Although I haven't seen much of the world, I know that this is not something a small-time local gentry like him could have bought through proper channels."

Wei Zhao hadn't expected her to react this way.

There was admiration in his eyes.

“That’s right. The Dong family openly runs a ceramics business, but in private they employ many thugs, and most of their money is illicit.”

Get money to do things.

There are people who help collect debts.

Some even helped teach their enemies a lesson.

As long as the buyer pays enough money, the Dong family will do whatever they want, even murder or arson.

It wouldn't leave too many traces or hidden dangers, and the Dong family had already established connections with the government, providing ample tribute. Even if the cause of death was suspicious, or if something went wrong along the way, someone would cover for them.

It's filthy inside.

Now that the Dong family has been defeated, all the thugs have fled when they saw that things were not going well.

Otherwise, why wait foolishly to get arrested?

The luminous pearl was one of the rewards.

However, as far as Wei Zhao knew, the luminous pearl that He Xuran of the He family in the capital had shown off last time was not as big as this one.

villain?

Why would the Dong family keep thugs?
This was the first time Yu Tingwan had heard about this, and she couldn't help but be astonished.

She no longer doubted the truthfulness of Wei Zhao's words.

But he was unwilling to ask any more questions.

She also didn't want to know things that she shouldn't know.

She remained silent for a long time, as if nothing had happened: "Then I'll accept it."

As he spoke, he found a box, put it away, and placed it on the bedside table.

The girl grabbed her clothes, waved to Wei Zhao, and went to take a bath.

Wei Zhao:......

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Through the screen, the girl's voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of perfunctoriness: "Okay, I like it very much."

Wei Zhao:......

I didn't quite notice it.

He dared to say that if it had been a gold ingot rolling down, Yu Tingwan would not have acted this way!

The charcoal fire inside was strong enough that Yu Tingwan didn't feel cold even after taking off her clothes.

She's a clean person, and even though circumstances didn't allow for it before, she still insists on bathing after marrying into the Wei family. Luckily, her in-laws are easygoing; they not only don't call her useless, but they also help her boil water.

She got into the tub.

Wei Shen's medication prescriptions have changed drastically in recent days. However, his complexion has indeed improved considerably compared to before.

Although she didn't understand pulse diagnosis, she could tell that the pulse was much stronger than when she first arrived in Zexian County.

The air was thick with heat, and her jade-like body appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Yu Tingwan let out a comfortable sigh.

She closed her eyes, wanting to take a bath for a while.

Her fair and delicate face turned red from the steam.

Suddenly, a cold, unforgiving voice rang in her ears, seemingly able to penetrate the barrier of her past life, making her heart tremble.

"Hmm? Who would dare to plead for him? It wouldn't matter if he had an ordinary maidservant by his side. But he just happened to care about her and fall in love with her..."

"Guards, seize this woman immediately!"

This sound seemed to carry a condescending pressure, and also contained a chilling and ruthless killing intent.

Yu Tingwan trembled inexplicably, fear spreading from her heart.

After washing, I didn't apply any perfume.

She went straight to bed and lay down next to Wei Zhao.

The girl trembled and moved closer to him.

Wei Zhao frowned: "What?" Yu Tingwan: "You probably don't believe me."

She said, "Someone wants to harm me."

Wei Zhao replied without hesitation: "I didn't."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Did I say anything to you?
Are you kidding me?!
Wei Zhao did not push her away. He laboriously covered the girl with the quilt, his tone calm but reassuring: "Don't worry, no one in this world can harm you in the slightest."

Early the next morning.

The Wei family was having breakfast when there was a commotion next door.

Master Chu arrived very early.

When Hu Yaozu visited for the first time, he brought a large number of bags and packages.

Even without going to great lengths, if Master Zhao valued material possessions, many of his relatively wealthy students would rush to give him gold and jade.

In his hand were a packet each of lotus seeds, red beans, dates, and longan, as well as celery and freshly cut meat.

This is the most common apprenticeship ceremony in the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Zhao couple were talking inside when they heard the noise. They exchanged a glance and went outside in tacit agreement.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, Zhao Niangzi saw Hu Yaozu squatting in front of Nannan in the courtyard, taking out candy from his pocket and feeding it to her.

The little girl showed no signs of shyness; her bright eyes smiled at Hu Yaozu, and she even wanted him to hold her.

Zhao Niangzi was completely distraught! She rushed forward and snatched her daughter away.

A rare, sharp voice.

"What did your mother always tell you? There are many bad people outside. Don't accept things from strangers."

The little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Master Chu was taken aback and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, is there some misunderstanding?"

"This is Yaozu. I imagine Brother Zhao has already mentioned him to you."

Hu Yaozu quickly replied, "It was the student's fault."

He bowed to Zhao Niangzi and said, "I apologize."

He was handsome, dressed in a proper student uniform, with a straight back and a shy yet warm smile.

He didn't argue, but directly admitted his mistake. This attitude was enough to make people lower their guard.

In the past, Zhao Niangzi would have liked seeing a student like this.

But now...

This person is clearly not simple!
Maybe they're all faking it!

Master Zhao bowed to Master Chu: "My wife was agitated. I'm afraid she didn't notice you, Brother Chu. This is our precious daughter, whom we cherish dearly. There are kidnappers in the county too. A mother would be flustered to suddenly see a stranger in the house."

Master Chu smoothed things over, saying, "That's how it is, that's how it is."

“Our daughter is so adorable that Yaozu and I were immediately delighted to see her.”

Go ahead and cheat!

The couple showed no intention of inviting the person inside to talk, nor did they offer them a seat.

Several people were standing in the courtyard.

Zhao Niangzi comforted her daughter and slipped a pastry from next door into her hand.

“Master Chu, you are at least a scholar who has studied the classics.”

"Although she knows my man, we're not exactly close. Why did she just walk in without even saying hello when the door was open?"

"This is really inappropriate."

Master Chu and Hu Yaozu were frozen in place.

His words were so eloquent that no one could find fault with them.

But they're not a wealthy family, so there aren't many formalities. The gate is open, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to go in and talk to the little one; they just haven't had a chance to greet anyone yet.

Master Chu didn't want to argue with the woman, so he could only look to Master Zhao.

I hope he can put in a good word for me.

Master Zhao did indeed speak, and his tone was reproachful.

"That is indeed wrong of Brother Chu."

Master Chu: ?
Zhao Niangzi asked, "Why did you bring a gift?"

She glanced at the large and small bags in Hu Yaozu's hands.

"This……"

She didn't mince words: "There's no need to rush. It's not too late to prepare these things after my man agrees to take you in."
