The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 159 I came uninvited, did I put you in a difficult position?
The Wei family's house faces south, and since it wasn't dusk yet, the sunlight was generously streaming in, making the clean courtyard very bright.

Yang Weiwen didn't dare to look inside, and said to Yu Tingwan, "This is the Imperial Censor, you've met him before."

He Xuran: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"He came to see you specifically on behalf of General Wei."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Good guy.

If Wei Zhao had truly died on the battlefield, he would crawl out of the ground and be grateful to He Xuran.

Yu Tingwan forced a smile as she invited them in.

Yang Weiwen stepped into the Wei family's house: "Since we parted last time, I have often thought about Wei Shen."

The relationship is clearly not very close.

If someone else had said this, Yu Tingwan wouldn't have believed it, but she believed Yang Weiwen.

While taking care of He Xuran, Yang Weiwen exchanged pleasantries with Yu Tingwan: "He said last time that I'm simple-minded and told me to read more books."

Even with her mind in turmoil, He Xuran doubted her own hearing: "Hmm?"

If he remembered correctly, Yang Weiwen was once the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination!

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

What the hell?
How many offensive things did Wei Zhao say when she wasn't paying attention?

Yu Tingwan racked her brains trying to figure out how to smooth things over.

But Yang Weiwen helped her cover it up.

"He's absolutely right."

Yang Weiwen sighed sincerely, “Learning has no end, but I still have shortcomings.”

Yu Tingwan: ...

He Xuran: ...

The air carried a faint medicinal scent, which grew stronger the closer one got to the half-closed room.

“My husband is in this room.”

"please."

Inside the house, medicine was bubbling away as it simmered.

The group walked around the screen and headed towards the bed.

The curtains hung to the ground, and I could only vaguely remember seeing someone leaning against the wall inside.

"My lord, a distinguished guest has arrived."

As Yu Tingwan finished speaking, a hand tremblingly emerged from behind the curtain.

He Xuran stood a few feet away from the bed and looked over.

His hands were large, with long, slender fingers, and an unnaturally pale complexion, covered with thick calluses.

Those hands are clearly used to handling weapons.

He Xuran sighed inwardly at the pity.

Yu Tingwan quickly stepped forward and shoved her hand back.

But the people inside didn't cooperate and kept sticking their arms out.

It was stuffed back in.

Yang Weiwen: "This..."

Yu Tingwan: "I'm afraid he'll be cold."

Seeing that the curtains were really in the way, Yang Weiwen asked, "Can we see him?"

Yu Tingwan looked troubled.

Yang Weiwen reminded them, "Since the Imperial Censor is here, it would be impolite to speak through the curtain."

He Xuran had been keeping an eye on Yu Tingwan.

In his view, it was not unreasonable for Wei Shen to say that Yang Weiwen was simple-minded.

At least, the fact that they were locked out of the door just now seemed strange.

Yang Weiwen did not recognize Yu Tingwan.

How could Yu Tingwan not recognize them?

Furthermore...

He Xuran's tone was devoid of emotion: "What's wrong?"

"Lord Yang's hand was sore from knocking on the door, but Madam Wei was slow to arrive. But..."

"But we came uninvited, causing you trouble?"

Will Yu Tingwan nod?
No.

The young woman said gently, "Sir, you are overthinking this."

She remained calm.

As long as she doesn't say sweet words, Yu Tingwan's ability to speak fluently is so good that even Wei Zhao can't see through her, let alone He Xuran.

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyes: "But..."

Yang Weiwen: "But what?"

He asked anxiously, "But is Wei Shen unwell?"

No waiting for response.

Yang Weiwen said with certainty, "You must have been taking care of him and couldn't find the time to open the door."

Yu Tingwan answered without hesitation: "That's right."

Yang Weiwen: "I knew it!"

The young woman said sadly, "I won't hide it anymore. My husband is very ill, and he may look a little frightening. Please don't be alarmed when you see him."

"It doesn't matter."

Yang Weiwen was deeply saddened.

He thought that Yu Tingwan's words were frightening because Wei Shen was breathing heavily and his face must have looked terrible.

This time, those hands reached out again. Yu Tingwan didn't stop them this time.

She brought over stools for Yang He and his companion to sit down. Proper hospitality is essential; having done this, she then went to pour water.

Seeing the person on the bed struggling to lift the curtain.

He Xuran couldn't stand it and stepped in to help Yang Weiwen.

The scene inside also came into his view.

It was a thick cotton quilt.

And the person under the quilt...

He Xuran was startled.

Yang Weiwen exclaimed in disbelief, "How...how could this be!"

He collapsed onto the bedside: "Wei Shen, weren't you injured? Why is your face like this!"

Wei Zhao's face was wrapped in gauze. Only his nose, thin lips, and drooping eyes were visible, allowing him to breathe.

It carried a hint of despair.

It is Yu Tingwan's masterpiece.

After all, she had experience dealing with the Blue Crow.

Yu Tingwan actually wanted to just have a brief, perfunctory encounter, nothing more.

You can wrap a small piece around it to identify it as him.

Even with only half of it wrapped up, you can still tell it's him.

Wei Zhao's features were simply too outstanding and eye-catching.

Wei Zhao said slowly, "I..."

He Xuran is a good person, but... after all, he is a member of the Empress Dowager's family.

What was to be done next was too shocking.

He absolutely cannot leave any hidden dangers before he has absolute certainty.

Wei Zhao lowered his voice, his tone noticeably different from his usual one, weak and hoarse: "I'd like to know too."

Yu Tingwan, who had just served tea, told him.

"I fell a few days ago."

Yang Weiwen exclaimed in surprise, "How could you fall and get injured like this?"

Wei Zhao asked in a cool tone, "You have a problem with that?"

Yu Tingwan: "Speak properly."

Wei Zhao pressed his hand on the bedding: "That's right, I'm rather fragile."

Yang Weiwen looked in pain.

"If I had known you were this sick, I should have come sooner."

"Wei Shen, I brought you some red dates and longans. You know my situation, so please don't think they're too meager."

Wei Zhao looked over and saw that there were indeed large and small bags on the coffee table next to him.

He knew that Yang Weiwen was short of money.

Wei Zhao: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Yang Weiwen stepped aside, revealing He Xuran behind him.

"By the way, this is Censor He. He's the one who upheld justice in your sister's case. I know you're grateful, but you're so badly injured, please don't get up to pay your respects. The Censor won't blame you."

Wei Zhao and He Xuran exchanged a brief glance.

Wei Zhao: "You came empty-handed?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Weiwen's eyelids twitched.

He winked at Wei Zhao.

Who is Imperial Censor He? For him to even make a trip here is a great honor.

Since we're all here, we should at least put on a show.

He Xuran looked away, his mind elsewhere.

"I have some connections with your general. If there's anything I can do to help, I certainly will."

Wei Zhao was even less inclined to pay him any attention.

I don’t know what happened.

This feeling of being ignored seems so familiar.

However, He Xuran was clearly concerned about something else.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Yu Tingwan on one side.

The girl's profile looks more like his...

Yang Weiwen always felt that something was off about He Xuran.

really.

He Xuran looked at Yu Tingwan: "Can I meet your parents?"

Yang Weiwen: ?
Yu Tingwan: "My parents?"

If He Xuran doesn't confirm it, he's afraid he won't be able to eat or sleep properly.

Ironically, Yu Tingwan gave him a very familiar feeling last time.

This time, the feeling was even stronger.

If he doesn't confirm it, He Xuran will probably keep worrying about it.

Yu Tingwan found him inexplicable.

"That's inconvenient."

"The request is a bit unreasonable, but I am..."

"Easy to say."

Wei Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth: "I'll see if I can get your parents to appear in your dreams later."
