The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 139 Yu Tingwan is thin, but very fierce.
The wind ruffled the girl's hair at her temples; her back was straight, and her question was particularly forceful.

Why did you have to torture and kill her so cruelly?

"If you don't want her, you can get a divorce. Our family will take her back and cherish her just the same!"

"The He family bribed the county magistrate, and my uncle tried to report it to the authorities, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. It's laughable that your He family did such a thing, yet you can rest easy and turn around and marry a new woman."

She paused here, looked at the crying He family child, and said calmly, "If Xiao Niang's child had been born, it would be about this age by now."

He Hong's eyelids twitched, and his heart sank into despair.

Yu Tingwan twitched the corners of her mouth.

"No, this child is older than Xiao Niang's child."

“You remarried before she was even buried, you were in such a hurry, like you were being reborn, you couldn’t wait even a day. Well, after all, she was born. You had to take her back to be recognized by your ancestors.”

The crowd tried to remain quiet, but they couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you mean 'born'? Does that mean these two have been having an affair for a long time? Looking closely, the child doesn't seem to be the right age..."

“My aunt lives near his house and said that the He family has used money to settle a lot of things over the years.”

"He Hong is notorious for his promiscuity, so it's not surprising that he got someone pregnant before marriage. But since he already has someone else, why is he still getting involved with the Wei family's daughter?"

Just to marry her and then kill her?
Then marry his former lover?
Yu Tingwan smiled faintly at the woman: "I don't think you're any good."

"First, she had an affair with He Hong without a matchmaker, and then she committed adultery, which shows how immoral she was. In a way, Xiao Niang's death made way for you, making it easier for you to enter her home."

“I don’t care how dirty your relationship with He Hong was in private before, but the truth is, my sister-in-law entered the He family before you. Xiao Niang’s child is unfortunate, being neglected even before birth, but that’s still a legitimate child. Did your child have any legitimate reason to be born?”

Even their age is kept secret.

Her cold voice was accompanied by the child's hoarse cries.

The girl chuckled softly, "Look at her, crying like this, it's heartbreaking. What? Does this child know he's a bastard?"

The woman frantically tried to soothe the child, and in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look incredibly pitiful.

"How...how could you say such a thing? No matter what, the child is innocent."

After saying that, she kowtowed in the direction of He Xuran.

"grown ups."

This sound was mournful and desolate.

"We adults are already exhausted from being in prison, the child... the child can't take it. Please, sir, have mercy on it because it's still so young..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Yu Tingwan retorted angrily, "Why are you calling me 'adult'? This child belongs to He Hong, not an adult!"

Do you still want He Xuran to get in through connections? Aren't you going to take responsibility?
He Xuran: ? ? ?

He frowned as he looked at the dark-skinned Yu Tingwan.

My mind was focused on the case, so I only glanced at the face briefly and didn't look at it closely.

He sat up slightly, his breathing a little labored.

Soon, that feeling vanished without a trace.

Vice Minister of Justice: ...

Putting everything else aside, this village woman is truly brave.

Yang Weiwen was taken aback.

However, this girl's temper is relatively stable.

If Wei Shen comes...

Yang Weiwen thought of Wei Shen, who was indifferent to everything and didn't care about anyone, and was extremely grateful that it was Yu Tingwan who came.

Otherwise, given Wei Shen's fearless and somewhat eccentric nature, he might have taken a liking to the seat He Xuran was currently sitting in and asked him to stand up and give up his seat.

He Xuran is a distinguished guest from the capital; his stern face is terrifying. If anyone dares to overstep his bounds, Wei Shen won't fare well either.

Even the white tiger is willing to get close to He Xuran. It might even feel indignant on He Xuran's behalf!
Yang Weiwen witnessed Fu Meng slap the prisoner away with his own eyes.

Wei Shen is so weak, he's probably about to meet the King of Hell. Yu Tingwan couldn't stand the He family woman's feigned weakness.

The woman the He family married later was notoriously cunning. Hadn't she said enough bad things about Xiao Niang in public?
One time, when the weather was still chilly despite the warming trend, Aunt Yu went to town to deliver clothes to her cousin Zhao Yu and ran into her.

Yu was furious. When she saw the dirty thing, she turned to leave, but was stopped by the other woman, who said a lot of sarcastic things.

They also said... they also said that Xiao Niang had a short life.

How could Yu Tingwan possibly find her pleasing to the eye?

Of course there are other reasons.

This woman's frail appearance paled in comparison to Wei Zhao.

After all, Wei Zhao was truly smooth when he was weak, and there was no trace of acting in his performance. His submissive posture on the couch was undeniably alluring. Even a soft sigh from him made Yu Tingwan worry that he might bump into something.

As for how many tears the He family woman shed, Yu Tingwan wouldn't even glance at her.

The girl sneered, "Don't talk nonsense. It's innocent, but does that mean the child in Xiao Niang's belly deserves to die?"

She's no saint, and she's hard-hearted. How could she possibly lose her mind and feel sorry for the bloodline of her enemy, without considering kinship?

"Leaving aside Xiaoniang's situation, the He family's bribery of officials and the heinous things they did in private are enough to warrant the execution of your entire family!"

Rong Di arrived at this time.

After secretly handing over the evidence of the He family's crimes that he had collected to Wei's army, he hid in the crowd to watch Yu Ting...

Look at the lady!
I have to say, she really does have the aura of a future young mistress of the Duke of Shun's mansion!

Now, all the outrageous things the He family had done over the years, as well as the ins and outs of Xiao Niang's death, were laid bare before He Xuran's eyes.

He Xuran read very slowly, the chill at the corner of his mouth growing stronger.

Yu Tingwan: "Xiao Niang was only eight months pregnant back then, but she ended up losing both her baby and herself. Her whole body was covered in bloody holes, there wasn't a single patch of good skin left."

"When you went to pick her up, she had already bled to death. You have a life in your hands."

"I truly do not understand why the He family would kill me, not even sparing the child in my womb!"

"Who did it? Or was the entire He family involved?"

The girl bent her knees and knelt down again.

Rong Di: !!!
He suddenly felt unwell.

"Why...why did you kneel down!"

Can He Xuran accept that?

His heart was trembling.

The people nearby glanced at him.

“What are you saying, young man? That woman is a member of the Wei family. In litigation, apart from those with official titles, ordinary people have to kneel to be tried.”

He understood the reasoning, but Rong Di wouldn't listen.

The person next to him continued.

"That woman had knelt down once before, when she was so angry that she jumped up from the ground to stomp on people. You wouldn't believe it, she's so thin, but she's quite fierce."

Rong Di: ...

Stepping on someone is nothing.

She was practically climbing over the general's head.

Rong Di raised his eyes and glanced at He Xuran, who was sitting motionless.

Given the general's protective nature...

I truly mourn for He Xuran.

At this moment, Yu Tingwan spoke clearly: "Those who commit heinous crimes must be severely punished. This is the natural order of things. I implore Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly and give my Wei family justice."

He Xuran is not the second male lead.

Based on previous articles, there weren't really any second male leads.
