The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 193 It's you, all show and no substance.
At the same time, the sky was as dark as ink, and rain poured down, shrouding the village in a dense mist.

A creak.

The old door dragged on with a long, drawn-out sound.

Fu Meng came out.

In the twilight, the tiger's eyes shone brightly, as if they could glow, yet they were filled with sorrow.

It can't figure it out.

Really.

It wasn't even allowed to be on Wei Zhao's bed, so why was Yu Tingwan allowed to?

How long has Yu Tingwan been here? Can she really take his place?
Absolutely not.

Even after the initial novelty wears off, it will still be Wei Zhao's favorite!
Having figured this out, Fu Meng felt relieved.

Although the weather is showing signs of warming up, the snow has all melted.

However, the mountain is damp and colder than other places.

Worried that its master would get cold, the considerate tiger lifted its paws and proudly closed the door.

The pharmacy was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the air was thick with bitterness.

Wei Zhao had been taking medicine for some time, and his body had acquired a faint medicinal scent, which smelled quite pleasant.

The curtains were drawn, blocking out everything outside and leaving only this small world.

The girl had a slender waist, and even her breath seemed soft. Wei Zhao simply pulled her into his arms, and his heart was already in turmoil; he made no further inappropriate moves.

After all, he can't do physical labor yet.

It just means you can't do anything.

If anything really happens, the girl is heartless, and he'll be the one who suffers.

Yu Tingwan was listless; when she closed her eyes, she couldn't see the tombstone or the dazzling golden phoenix hairpin clearly.

It was the exact same dream as last time.

Yu Tingwan gripped Wei Zhao's collar tightly and buried her head in the man's neck.

With each breath she took, that spot became intensely itchy.

Wei Zhao's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

"What you see in your dreams is all fake; you can't believe it."

Yu Tingwan: ...

But her dream was real.

Wei Zhao said gently, "Perhaps too many things have happened these past few days, and you've been preoccupied and frightened. How about I have Elder Ge prescribe some calming soup for you?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Ok.

Even if she were Wei Zhao, she wouldn't believe it.

The girl's eyes trembled.

"that……"

She was a little annoyed and reluctantly asked, "What is the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty called?"

Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Gu Fuju."

Great, it matches the name the noblewoman in my dream called out.

Yu Tingwan felt a chill all over her body.

She thought, that grave is probably hers!

There can't be any mistake!
Otherwise, why would that old woman be so terrified, as if she had seen a ghost?
Seeing that she remained silent, Wei Zhao lowered his head, and their breaths mingled.

"what happened?"

Yu Tingwan: "My chest feels uncomfortable."

Wei Zhao frowned, uneasy, and took her pulse to check her condition.

then.

I don't think you should be feeling bad.

I didn't ask you to rub it for me, why did you have to expose me!
Yu Tingwan was unhappy.

Whether it was because it was too dark around her or because she was feeling unwell, Wei Zhao's voice was unusually gentle: "How about we choose a good burial site for the two elders later?"

The fire burned everything away, including the remains of the Yu couple.

A grave without remains must contain the deceased's clothing or belongings in place of the body.

The name and birth date can also be carved in pine or cypress wood and placed in the coffin for burial.

Yu Tingwan was still quite young at the time, and she wanted to set up a memorial tablet at home, but Wang Shi disagreed.

For good reason.

That was a tragic death; if you set up a memorial tablet for it in your home, it will bring bad luck.

She wanted to go up the mountain to dig a pit and build a grave.

But they weren't allowed to, and were even accused of making a fuss over nothing.

Hu Dazhu remained silent to the side.

It is clear that he is on the side of the Wang family.

Yu Tingwan had to be mindful of others' attitudes, so she could only secretly burn some paper money at the foot of the mountain every year.

After all, people are ignorant and believe in ghosts and gods. She was only staying at the Hu family's house temporarily, living under their roof, so she didn't have much confidence.

But I only found out now.

That clearly shows they have a guilty conscience.

If a little girl sets up a memorial tablet in the house and worships it every day, how terrified they would be!

Even on the mountain, I'm afraid.

Yu Tingwan: ...

She had intended to do that too, but she hadn't told Wei Zhao.

in fact……

In the darkness, the girl pursed her lips.

Actually, she also had her own little thoughts.

Meeting one's parents is an extremely serious matter. Wei Zhaoruo helped with the arrangements and even kowtowed at his parents' graves. Doesn't that mean the Yu family has accepted him as their son-in-law?
just in case……

What if she and Wei Zhao eventually part ways...

After waiting for a while, I didn't get a response from her.

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Oh."

Yu Tingwan: ?
"You oh what?"

Wei Zhao: "You climbed onto my bed in the middle of the night, and now you're lying in my arms, and you're still considering whether or not you should take responsibility."

Yu Tingwan: !!!

Wei Zhao said expressionlessly, "Looks like I guessed right."

Feeling guilty, Yu Tingwan intentionally withdrew from his embrace little by little.

"I think I'll go back to sleep."

Yu Tingwan was thoughtful despite her witty banter.

"Old Ge said you need to take a medicinal bath before breakfast tomorrow. You should go to bed early, you still have to get up early."

He had just sat up when Wei Zhao pulled him back down.

"What are you running for?"

Yu Tingwan: "I didn't run away."

"Then what are you doing?"

Yu Tingwan: "It's been so long since we slept together."

Wei Zhao: "Oh."

Yu Tingwan: ! !
What have you figured out now?!

Wei Zhao: "Are you trying to change the subject?"

Yu Tingwan seemed not to hear her and said to herself, "I'm still not used to it."

Wei Zhao figured it out.

Yu Tingwan didn't rub against me or touch me in any way.

Wei Zhao was not quite used to her being like this.

The girl seemed a bit listless: "It's like..."

She tried hard to find the right words.

Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched, realizing it wasn't something nice.

as predicted.

"They're having an affair."

In the past, Wei Zhao would have remained silent. No matter what Yu Tingwan said, he wouldn't respond.

But now he won't die.

"is it?"

His voice was calm: "What couple having an affair can just lie there and talk without doing anything?"

Yu Tingwan: ?
"you ask me?"

"I won't stop you from doing whatever you want."

She said in a very soft voice, "Isn't this better? Let's cherish the present moment first. Give me some time for the future."

Wei Zhao held the girl's hand.

It's as soft as if it has no bones.

He didn't intend to force Yu Tingwan; in the end, she would be his anyway.

Besides, the girl is too sensitive.

She is no longer the little girl who defied her teacher with sheer courage.

Having experienced too much, witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and restrained my nature, I now consider the pros and cons before doing anything.

"Oh."

Yu Tingwan was on high alert: ??
"What are you trying to say now!"

Wei Zhao: "He still wants to seduce women and then deny it."

Did you go to a brothel?
Yu Tingwan was quite unconvinced.

Previously, Wei Zhao had kept his distance from her. Besides being reserved and restrained, one could also say she lacked decorum.

Yu Tingwan originally thought he was broken, but after seeing Wei Zhao's work last time, the girl was shocked.

His health is improving now, and he's become more affectionate towards me than before.

They all wanted to hold her while they slept.

But that's all there is to it.

Wei Zhao's hands remained still, resting on his waist without moving an inch.

What is the reason for this?
Is she not attractive enough?
impossible!
She's so attractive!
It's definitely not her fault.

Then it must be Wei Zhao.

The answer then becomes clear.

Yu Tingwan was annoyed.

"Can you blame me?"

She said with certainty, "It's you, all looks and no substance."
