The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 137 is truly vicious!

The alley was different from its usual quietness.

Yu Tingwan had just stepped out the door when she heard a commotion ahead.

Without even thinking, it was obvious that it was the Liu family at the alley entrance.

It's fortunate that the Wei family lives far away, otherwise she would have complained about disturbing Wei Zhao's rest.

She was going to go check on the prison cells.

I heard that the process of sentencing and convicting them has already begun.

However, there are too many people there, so I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze in.

Little did Yu Tingwan know that she almost couldn't even get out of the alley.

A dozen or so matchmakers were crowded in front of the Liu family's house. Each of them held up a stack of portraits, all trying their best to promote the resources they had.

“Miss Liu, you can’t delay your marriage any longer. These men are all quite good. I’ve been a matchmaker for half my life, would I ever harm you? Look at this one. Isn’t he handsome? He’s so good-looking. He’s willing to marry into the family and said he’ll put you first in the future.”

"Miss Liu, look at this one. He's had a few years of schooling, but unfortunately his family suffered a misfortune. He has no other requests, he only wants you to support his studies after he marries into the family. If he passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, you'll be a scholar's wife!"

Yu Tingwan stopped and looked over when her path was blocked.

The matchmakers jostled each other, afraid of being beaten to it.

I'm... really envious.

At that time, when she was looking for a partner, Li Lian wasn't very helpful and she had to urge her again and again.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Can't you understand human language? Miss Liu already said she hasn't found anyone she likes, why aren't you leaving? Are you trying to force me to buy you? Miss Liu, look at the one I introduced to you. This handsome young man is quite good!"

"What? You think he's too thin? Oh dear, it's because his family is too poor to afford food. He's incredibly strong, and he's got a sweet tongue too! Once he moves into the Liu family, he'll make you happy every day. If Miss Liu is satisfied, I'll call him over for you to meet."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Whether Miss Liu was moved or not, she didn't know.

Anyway, Yu Tingwan was quite tempted.

It's true, a man's sweet talk might not be reliable.

Wei Zhao is reliable, but he's infuriating as soon as he opens his mouth.

Miss Liu was quite impatient at this point.

"Yes, I'm making that promise. Whoever helps arrange the marriage will get a generous reward. But don't try to fool me with cheap tricks."

"How many girls who marry into their husband's family don't have to put up with their husband's attitude? Right now, I'm taking in a man to live with me, providing him with food and clothing. They're just freeloading. Shouldn't they be sweet-talking me, attentive to me, and serving me tea and water?"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

This statement is absurd.

It sounds so cheerful.

For a fleeting moment, Yu Tingwan even wondered if, if Wei Zhao left, she didn't intend to go with him, perhaps...

"This mouth is crooked, these nostrils are too big, and this face looks miserable. Handsome? Handsome for what!"

"I want someone who can amaze me at first glance."

At that moment, through the crowd, Miss Liu saw Yu Tingwan, who was leaning against the wall and walking with difficulty.

She was always picky, but after glancing at Yu Tingwan, her gaze froze.

The girl was dark-skinned, but her profile was exceptionally beautiful.

Miss Liu found it pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, are you from the innermost house, the one that just moved in?"

Yu Tingwan turned her head to look at her.

She nodded slightly.

Liu Yan: "Then can you help me see if these people are good-looking?"

Yu Tingwan looked over.

None of them were burly.

She shook her head.

Liu Yan was acknowledged: "Right? These people insist that I'm picky. If you have someone you think is good, you can tell me."

Yu Tingwan felt that she was too overly familiar.

The girl doesn't like interacting with outsiders.

But she's just kind-hearted.

"I did see a handsome man a few days ago."

She spoke very seriously and sincerely.

Liu Yan was suspicious. But she figured they were all from the same alley, so they couldn't possibly be lying to her. At least they were more reliable than those matchmakers who only cared about her money.

"Then could you tell me about it?"

Liu Yan: "I am indeed not young anymore. If you can help me find a match, you will definitely accumulate good karma."

Yu Tingwan: "I don't play matchmaker, and I don't know if that person is married. If you're interested, you can go and see, but if you're not, you don't need to worry about it."

People who sell pork are usually well-off.

"I think they probably wouldn't be willing to marry into the family."

Liu Yan replied without hesitation, "If she's good-looking, anything is possible. Tell me about it."

So, Yu Tingwan politely left her address before leaving.

Little did the girl know that her words would leave all the matchmakers bewildered and looking at each other in confusion.

"The third shop on Tong Street? If I remember correctly, that sells pork."

"You're not mistaken! I went to buy some yesterday! Who is she talking about? Does the butcher have a younger brother?"

"No, he is an only child."

"So she's talking about a butcher? Oh my, that fierce look of hers is terrifying, how could she say that? Isn't this a scam? Miss Liu, do you have a grudge against her? Don't listen to this person's nonsense!"

Liu Yan frowned deeply.

She looked at Yu Tingwan's back.

It's very light and nimble.

I think of Yu Tingwan's clear, moist eyes.

They weren't shrewd at all; they looked like the kind of people who would only be bullied. Unlike those scheming matchmakers.

She felt that the matchmaker must have said that on purpose to discourage her from pursuing the idea.
How wicked!

What's wrong with a pig butcher?
Maybe he's just a handsome and talented person!

The thought of a delicate and frail man having to go out and chop meat and bones made her feel very sorry for him.

Liu Yan thought that once things were done, she would definitely let Yu Tingwan sit at the head table!

Outside the prison cell.

The jailer brought out a criminal, and He Xuran sentenced him.

The crouching beast was leisurely wagging its tail.

He slapped He Xuran's leg.

He Xuran lowered his eyes and took a moment to feed it a piece of jerky.

Then flick it again.

He Xuran fed another one.

Aside from the cases with some doubts, the process was quick and efficient.

The people stood silently, without making a sound, for fear of disrupting the order and affecting the trial. Listening to He Xuran's repeated pronouncements of death sentences, their eyes were filled only with hatred and the pleasure of avenging a great wrong.

Yang Weiwen stood behind He Xuran and saw that He Xuran was holding Xiao Niang's complaint paper.

The higher-ups have already pressed their fingerprints to admit guilt.

He was somewhat acquainted with the Wei family and felt deeply sorry for Xiao Niang's plight. He intentionally placed the complaint paper near the front before presenting it to He Xuran.

It's finally our turn.

When the dozens of members of the He family were brought out, their faces were ashen, covered in wounds, and they had been tortured beyond recognition, yet they were still clinging to life.

The children's wailing filled everyone with fear, making them tremble.

Where is the arrogant and domineering aura of yesteryear?

Yang Weiwen showed no reluctance whatsoever. He bowed to He Xuran, who was at the head of the table, before stepping forward and looking down at the He family.

"Since you admit that the person was killed by you, I have no choice but to ask you some questions."

"That Wei family woman was gentle and pregnant, why would they kill her so cruelly?"

The He family members looked at each other.

Yang Weiwen: "Speak!"

Mother He said tremblingly, "Xiao Niang is good, but her family is poor."

“I’ve been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law for a long time, but my son took a liking to her beauty, so I had no choice but to agree to let her into the family.”

Upon arriving and hearing these two sentences, Yu Tingwan's face darkened completely.
