The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 188 It would be too easy for you if you died.

But Yu Tingwan quickly changed her mind.

"wrong."

"It would be too easy for them to die."

One stab and he's dead.

The girl crouched down, flicked her wrist, and revealed a hidden weapon—a sleeve dart. Pressing a button, a sharp blade emerged.

"That woman who always talks about being a money-loser, relying on giving birth to a son to carry on the Hu family line, has the approval of her in-laws and the tacit consent of her husband. You are so smug when you are driving her to her death, you are so despicable."

"You're really good at stirring things up."

"One is greedy and vicious, the other is hypocritical and pretentious. They're both beasts, no wonder they're husband and wife."

She held the knife to Wang's side: "You will live a miserable, unbearable life, and taste what despair is like."

With a downward press, the blade shot out straight out, embedding itself deeply into Wang's body.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"what!"

Yu Tingwan watched indifferently as Wang Shi rolled on the ground.

She had killed chickens and ducks, but had never laid a hand on a human. The girl's hands trembled slightly, and she took a few steps back, but her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

This is not enough.

Far from enough.

Shunzi understood the instruction from Yu Tingwan.

Wei's men knew best how to torture people. He was no exception; he went over to Hu Dazhu and swiftly pinned him down.

With a flick of her wrist, she twisted his arm.

With a "crack" sound, a shrill wail rang out.

The arm that Hu Dazhu used to carry a broken bowl to collect rice was twisted off.

Yes, twist.

Bloody.

Hu Dazhu was convulsing in pain, and even the fingers on the arm that Shunzi had casually tossed aside were still trembling.

Hu Dalang was as if waking from a dream, filled with terror.

He rushed forward like a madman, trying to pull the straight apart, but he couldn't budge it.

Yu Tingwan watched indifferently: "That year there was a famine. In the village, more people died than lived."

Even the village head's house was almost entirely empty.

"Only your Hu family is all doing well."

Nothing happened to anyone.

Hu Dalang: "Wanniang, I'm willing to atone for what happened back then. Please let Father and Mother go."

Yu Tingwan looked at Hu Dalang.

Of all these people, only Hu Dalang was truly sincere towards her.

But so what?
"for?"

She gently reminded her, "But you were born a sin."

Hu Dalang hesitated to say it: "I know this is shameless..."

Yu Tingwan remained silent, her clear eyes fixed on him with an expressionless face.

Hu Dalang suddenly couldn't speak.

Although he was born that year.

But his sister-in-law's tragedy was also indirectly caused by him.

Every grain of rice fed to him at home was a blood-soaked bun.

Can……

How could he ignore what he was seeing?

Hu Dalang knelt down: "Wanniang, I beg you."

He grabbed Hu Yaozu, who was standing next to him, and said anxiously, "Say something!"

Hu Yaozu frowned deeply, his face grim.

He stared straight at Yu Tingwan, his face filled with anger.

"You want to throw a tantrum? Fine. But this is going too far."

"Wei Shen is from the Wei family army, but you can't take advantage of that to do whatever you want!"

“The country has its laws. Even if your parents are guilty, you cannot resort to private punishment.”

"No one can investigate what happened back then. The family couldn't make ends meet anymore. Sometimes, morality and shame are worthless."

He held back, trying to speak calmly.

"...You should also understand that as long as it's not human trafficking, and it's a cash-on-delivery transaction, the human traffickers always operate legally. The indentures are all stamped by the government. So there's no way to investigate."

He said firmly, "But you dared to provoke the Hu family and start a fight, so I can report you to the authorities and have you convicted." "Shh."

Yu Tingwan told him to shut up.

The girl looked into the distance, at the location of the mountains.

A moment later, a dark figure appeared in the courtyard.

It was Wei's army, who were usually prepared to watch over Fu Hu.

The next moment, he respectfully cupped his hands towards Yu Tingwan and said, "The graves of Old Lady Hu and Old Man Hu have been dug up."

Yu Tingwan then looked at Hu Yaozu: "Alright, continue."

Hu Yaozu: "Dig...dig up the grave?"

He was somewhat incredulous, but extremely angry.

"The Hu family has raised you all these years, and I think their merits and demerits can be offset together."

Hu Yaozu: "Don't make a big mistake because of a moment of anger."

"You've already hit someone, and your parents are injured too. Isn't that enough?"

"I feel deeply indebted for what happened to my aunt, and I will definitely make it up to you in the future. She has passed away, why do you still hold onto this matter?"

The village head's heart skipped a beat.

Although he felt that Yu Tingwan was very inappropriate, it was also... reasonable and logical.

When Hu Dazhu brought his stepmother back, he should have known whether he could bear the consequences if things were exposed.

But for Hu Yaozu, a scholar, to say such things is truly callous.

Yu Tingwan almost laughed out loud.

Of the father and son, Hu Yaozu is the most like Hu Dazhu.

Why doesn't your mother go and sell herself?

Yu Tingwan trembled with anger: "She's given birth, she knows how to serve men, and she can attract customers, so why doesn't she sell herself? Take off her clothes and work hard, maybe she can even get you a few more brothers from unknown sources."

"The Hu family has an improper family tradition, but they always manage to have a prosperous lineage."

Hu Yaozu was surprised by Yu Tingwan's vulgar language, but Shunzi grabbed him and smacked him hard on the head.

A loud 'crack'.

Hu Yaozu felt as if his head was about to flatten and his brains were about to spill out.

Shunzi: "I've put up with you for so long! Did you eat a chamber pot? Your mouth is so dirty!"

Shunzi: "You still think you're so great?"

"Report to the authorities? Bah!"

"Even if officials come, they have to be polite to our wife! You've had a few years of schooling, do you really think you're something special? You think you're above the law?"

"Shortsighted and showing off one's cleverness."

As he spoke, he slapped her hard across the face again.

Then, when facing Yu Tingwan, he quickly put on a smiling face.

He was very enthusiastic: "Madam, there are brothels in the county."

Yu Tingwan watched as Hu Yaozu was beaten until his eyes rolled back: "Where's the town?"

Shunzi first flattered, "You have a great idea! Hu Yaozu is studying in town, so when he has free time, the mother and son can get together."

Then he suggested, "No, but we can build one specifically for that purpose."

Yu Tingwan: "This must be very troublesome."

"No trouble at all, there just happens to be a vacant plot of land in town."

"Although Wang is old, fat and ugly, she is the mother of a scholar. I imagine many people would be eager to adopt Hu Yaozu as their godson."

Shunzi: "I can also help attract customers."

He is very talented.

After all, the general gave the order.

To say that the lady is a young woman is probably not ruthless enough.

Let him handle it and see how it goes.

Yu Tingwan: "That's really a bargain for her, since she can finally be a local again."

"useless!"

The village head strode forward.

He had been observing coldly, thinking that the Hu family deserved what they got, but now that Hu Yaozu was involved, he couldn't sit still any longer.

"Mom."

"He's the only educated person in our village."

"He's the only one who's successful."

The village head was somewhat reluctant: "If word gets out, old grievances will inevitably resurface and cause a stir. Not only will his marriage be ruined, but what will happen to his reputation and his chances of passing the imperial examinations? Even your mother won't be able to rest in peace in the afterlife."

“You are a filial child, and you would never want your mother to be talked about again.”
