The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 173 No Mistake Admitted
After washing her face with cold water, Yu Tingwan felt much more awake.

There's nothing to carry.

Wei Zhao said that they have everything over there.

Perhaps guessing that she would come along, they even prepared clothes for the girl.

I don't know when I made the plan.

Yu Tingwan was waiting for her meal and had nothing to do, so she went out of the alley and saw vegetable vendors on both sides of the street.

She glanced around, her purpose clear.

Zhao Niangzi once said that the meat buns sold at the breakfast stalls on the street were generously filled, and the soy milk was thick and flavorful. Whenever they didn't have time to make breakfast, the whole family would eat there.

Business is so good that there's always a queue.

Yu Tingwan wanted to buy some soy milk to go with soup dumplings and pan-fried dumplings.

She found a stall.

There were indeed many people, but the couple buying breakfast were quick and efficient, and the queue moved forward very fast.

The girl stood in line obediently, listening to the old women carrying baskets in front of her talk.

"The city gates just opened today, and the post station sent soldiers out to arrest people again. They're arresting people every day; I'm afraid the prison cells aren't enough."

"No, there are plenty of people who get beheaded at the execution ground every day, so there are always cells available for new recruits."

"I wonder who they arrested today?"

"I know."

Someone peeked around, covered their mouth, but their voice was still loud: "What kind of village head is he from Sandun Village?"

"The whole family has been brought here."

"What crime?"

The other party was silent for a moment.

"It seems like they forcibly abducted a man. They openly snatched him from someone's home, carried him all the way back, and wanted him to be the father of the illegitimate child in their daughter's belly."

Yu Tingwan listened with great interest.

Steamed buns and glutinous rice cakes can be wrapped in paper, but soy milk is hard to carry, so she brought a teapot with her.

After filling the container, I paid and carried it all the way home.

The girl walked with light steps.

Until... she had just turned into the alley when she saw the Liu family's gate open. Liu Yan was leaning against the door, and upon seeing her, she immediately blocked her way.

She must have been gone for several days because she had discovered something fishy about Wang Hao based on what Yu Tingwan had said earlier.

I'm afraid the matter has been resolved.

Yu Tingwan frowned.

I thought Liu Yan was going to press me about how she knew so much.

She needs to find an excuse.

But Liu Yan didn't.

Liu Yan: "Is our alley haunted?"

Yu Tingwan, trying to find an excuse: ?

What the hell?
She looked at Liu Yan: "Why do you ask that?"

"Did you stumble upon something unclean?"

Yu Tingwan frowned.

Her tone became harsh.

"After all that, you're probably talking about me, aren't you?"

Liu Yan: ? ? ?
"Don't falsely accuse me! I'm telling the truth!"

"I need to get married as soon as possible, so that if something really happens at night, I'll have a man to support me."

Seeing that she wasn't joking, and that she looked flustered and somewhat haggard, Yu Tingwan's attitude softened.

The girl is overthinking it.

In her previous life, Liu Yan wasn't very smart; how could she possibly be so skillful at insulting people?

Ok.

This is clearly her level.

Yu Tingwan inquired, "What happened?"

"I woke up thirsty last night and went to the kitchen to get some water. When I opened the door, I saw what looked like a huge creature outside!"

"It was too dark, I couldn't see what it was."

"But its two eyes are exceptionally bright, as if they can glow!"

Yu Tingwan: ...

I'm sorry.

She knew what it was.

Tiger doesn't like to go out during the day, but he gets restless at night, so he comes out for a stroll.

Liu Yan still feels lingering fear when she talks about it!

She couldn't help but shudder.

"I screamed in fright but couldn't make a sound. I closed the door, but I was in such a hurry that I tripped and fell."

I finally managed to close the door, my heart was pounding terribly.

When you don't get a definite answer to something, you tend to overthink it. And the more you think about it, the more afraid you become.

"Finally, I couldn't resist opening a crack and looking out."

Yu Tingwan: "What did you see?"

"No more."

Liu Yan: "I thought I had misread it and was just scaring myself. I was so relieved at that moment."

After all that commotion, I don't even want to drink water anymore.

Can!!!
Liu Yan: "You don't know, when I came out of the house today, I saw two words displayed outside the door!"

I don't know where the sand came from!
It's a bit crooked.

But you can still barely make out the details!

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "What word?"

Liu Yan: "...coward."

Yu Tingwan: ...

I'm sorry, I failed to keep the tiger under control.

She should have held back.

But the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When she returned to the Wei family home, she saw Zhao Yong feeding the cattle, preparing for their departure.

After delivering the soy milk to the kitchen, Yu Tingwan poured herself a bowl and sat in the courtyard, sipping it slowly.

I'm a little worried.

I don't know how to tell my parents that I'm going away for a while.

My gaze shifted and landed on Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the stone table, holding the book given to him by Master Zhao and reading it with great interest.

Yu Tingwan didn't want to bother him.

Can……

Yu Tingwan seemed to remember something, so she gulped down the soy milk, put down the bowl, walked over, and sat down opposite him.

Yu Tingwan: "I heard from my aunt that you don't have any plans to get married yet?"

"……Um."

Zhao Yu said somewhat shyly, "I have a phobia of it."

The thought of that young woman looking at him with such savage eyes, as if she wanted to rip his pants off, filled Zhao Yu with disgust.

I don't know how I got through those few days at home in Sandun Village.

Even that girl's mother stared at him for a long time with the look of someone eyeing a piece of pork, and even touched his face with satisfaction!
"Don't even mention that my youngest daughter likes it; as her mother, I'm delighted too."

When Yu Tingwan heard Yu mention that when he came from the countryside, some girls on the road stared at Zhao Yu, which made him a little flustered.

"Then you should stay home as much as possible these next few days."

Safety.

Liu Yan is quite fierce.

If she takes a liking to Zhao Yu, it'll be a real problem. She might just come and harass him every day. That poor little thing would be so scared she'd start stuttering.

Zhao Yu didn't ask why.

"I'll listen to my cousin-in-law."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

I thought I would have to explain a lot to my parents before going out this time.

No.

Wei Zhao only said that he needed to leave for a while to treat his illness, and the Wei couple agreed.

They even prepared a lot of food for us before we left.

Sitting in the carriage arranged by Shunzi, they swayed and bumped their way out of Ze County. Yu Tingwan felt somewhat surreal.

The interior of the carriage was luxuriously furnished.

With a thick mattress, no matter how bumpy the ride, the wound won't be aggravated.

Yu Tingwan fell asleep in the carriage.

When she woke up, they were still on their way. With nothing to do, she took out the amulet around her neck and examined it closely.

I can't see anything wrong with it.

"stop looking."

Looking at the secret letter, Wei Zhao said calmly, "It really is mine."

Wei Zhao didn't even look up, and said gently, "It was my grandmother who personally went to the temple to ask for it before she passed away. She asked for two copies. One was given to my uncle, and the other was given to my father."

General Jingyuan's portion was also buried after his death.

The share that belonged to the Duke of Shun was left to him.

Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched heavily.

"So, Mother admitted her mistake?"

Wei Zhao: "No."

Wei Zhao looked up and met her gaze.

"There are no parents in this world who would truly mistake their child for someone else."
