The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 168 Encountering a ghost in broad daylight, isn't that terrifying?
As soon as that sound fell, the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees.

Zhao Yu, sitting on the stone bench, was writing from memory very diligently.

Zhao Yu usually buys cheap paper and pens, but that doesn't mean he hasn't seen good quality products.

For example, Hu Yaozu used it very well.

Putting everything else aside, just one calligraphy brush alone cost three ounces.

In the countryside, how many people can readily produce three taels of silver? This is no small sum. It's clear that the Hu family has invested heavily in this son.

At this moment...

Zhao Yu couldn't tell what material the brush in his hand was made of.

But once I got my hands on it, I knew it must be very expensive.

When Yu Tingwan took it out just now, he asked shyly.

"Sister-in-law, how much for this calligraphy brush?"

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "He's a rough man, so I have to be careful not to break him."

My cousin's wife didn't know.

But his cousin responded to him.

— "Tenfold."

My cousin also said...

"The conditions in the county are what they are; we can't find anything better."

"But it'll be usable even if I give it to you. Take it if you like."

Zhao Yu felt a little smug.

My cousin... is being far too generous.

As Zhao Yu wrote, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He stopped writing from memory and turned to look at the young couple not far away.

My cousin's wife tilted her head and spoke to my cousin.

I don't know what they said.

Her cousin smiled gently.

Zhao Yu looked away with relief.

One can't help but admire how good their relationship is.

Wei Zhao did indeed smile.

It was so gentle that it was almost eerie.

He stared intently at Yu Tingwan, who was so close to him.

Yu Tingwan showed no fear, unaware of the profound impact her words would have on the future.

I just felt inexplicably uneasy being stared at by him.

Girl: "What's wrong?"

Her pink and tender fingertips poked at Wei Zhao's chest.

"You're not convinced?"

Very good, we need to add fuel to the fire.

Wei Zhao grasped her mischievous hand, lowered his eyelids, and placed a pastry into the girl's palm.

"Don't say bad words."

dirty?
Yu Tingwan remained silent.

Start reflecting on yourself!
It was her! She spoke without thinking and hurt Wei Zhao's pride.

She deserves to die!
See, Wei Zhao didn't blame her at all.

Is this a snack for her?
This was clearly the man pleading with her to stop talking.

Yu Tingwan: "That..."

She said, "I don't dislike you."

"I didn't mean to embarrass you."

Her tone was exceptionally sincere.

"Though you are incomplete, you are still..."

Before she could say anything more, the man picked up a strand of hair from her temple.

The girl's lips were red and moist; she could easily make him feel short of breath and feel chest tightness just by opening her mouth and making him talk.

Wei Zhao's hands were very cold. He accidentally brushed against the girl's delicate face, causing her to flinch.

He didn't do anything either.

There was no intention to cause trouble.

Instead, she gently tucked the hair behind the ear.

He said quietly, "I'm impressed."

"I just feel..."

Wei Zhao: "It's best if some people don't regret it later."

Wei Zhao had never used his hands before.

The problem has been resolved.

He never showed the slightest interest in women.

In my earlier years, I was so busy that I was overwhelmed with work and had heavy burdens.

There's a family pressure for him to get married.

Wei Zhao, however, found women troublesome.

He couldn't do what the Duke of Shun did, who, just because his wife wanted to eat Chaoji plum blossom cake, ran halfway to the capital after the morning court session to buy it.

For him at the time, getting married was simply about continuing the family line.

He was so concerned about the Wei family army that he was too lazy to return to the Duke of Shun's mansion for half the month.

If I marry someone, I'm afraid I'll just leave them to live an empty house.

Wei Zhao was not prepared to be a father.

The children were even more troublesome. He was already having enough of a headache, constantly cleaning up the messes left by Xiao Huaiyan and his cousin, the heir of the Marquis of Ningguo.

If there were more children like that in the future, especially if they were his own flesh and blood, Wei Zhao thought he wouldn't be able to remain calm.

Now I have a girl I care about.

Wei Zhao then realized that he, too, was lustful.

He is a normal man.

He was a military general.

He's stronger than others.

That kind of thing will only be more agonizing.

The one who will suffer in bed later is Yu Tingwan.

As for the kids…

Wei Zhao, who wasn't ready to be a father, felt very strong.

Reading makes people understand principles. He personally enlightened them, so how could they go astray?

While the two were talking, Zhao Yu had already filled a small stack of papers with complete focus.

He never practiced calligraphy by copying famous calligraphers; he learned by studying the characters in books.

Some characters have incorrect stroke order.

But when written, it is exceptionally elegant.

Perhaps he had gotten used to the brush, and his speed increased.

Master Zhao arrived at this time.

He spotted Nannan at first glance.

My second glance locked onto Wei Zhao.

He walked over and said, "I didn't see you go out for the past few days, and I thought you weren't feeling well again."

It's really not good.

I had just had acupuncture treatment a few days prior and couldn't be exposed to wind.

Master Zhao, who prided himself on being quite familiar with Wei Shen, sat down beside him and asked, "When the execution was taking place over there, your parents and stepmother were all there. Why didn't you go and see them?"

How satisfying!

If it weren't for the fear of scaring Nannan, Zhao Niangzi would have also wanted to join in the fun and throw rotten eggs.

Yu Tingwan: ...

He went?

If Wei Zhao were to show his face...

The entire execution ground was in chaos.

It even... shocked the government and the public.

How could the executioner on the day of the execution not recognize Wei Zhao?

Yu Tingwan: "My husband is afraid of seeing officials coming from the capital."

This statement is somewhat ambiguous.

But it's not exactly a lie.

Master Zhao was somewhat surprised.

"Is he afraid of those officials?"

The Wei family army at the post station are all pretty arrogant!

Master Zhao looked at the strange person in front of him, and after a moment of confusion, he expressed his understanding.

"Indeed, even the lowest-ranking officials among them are fifth-rank officials, and they are quite influential in the officialdom of the capital."

"Their stern and unsmiling demeanor was intimidating."

Master Zhao couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Not to mention others, just take that Vice Minister of Justice. I don't even dare to raise my head in front of him."

My legs are still a little weak.

He understands.

“Last time Imperial Censor He came to visit you, I heard that you left with a dark face.”

"Have you offended him?"

"Are you afraid of running into them again if you go?"

Master Zhao: "I understand."

"You're afraid of impending disaster."

Wei Zhao didn't really want to talk to him.

But then he leaned back and glanced at Master Zhao: "You and I are different."

Master Zhao: ?
He humbly asked, "What's the difference?"

Wei Zhao: "I'm afraid those people's legs will give way."

A cold smirk appeared on his lips: "People who should have died suddenly appear. I don't know if they came from a pile of bones or if they are unwilling to accept their fate and have climbed up from the underworld to seek revenge."

"To encounter a ghost in broad daylight."

Wei Zhao scoffed: "Isn't it terrifying?"

Master Zhao nodded, bewildered.

Master Zhao: "I understand!"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

What do you know?
Has Wei Zhao been exposed?
Master Zhao said, "It is said that excessive wisdom is harmful to health. It is perfectly normal for someone as knowledgeable as you to sometimes speak and act strangely."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Seeing Wei Zhao open his lips, the girl was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have.

Get a head start.

"Yes."

"My husband can be a bit..."
