The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 196 Can I be as infuriating as you?

A cold wind blows, carrying dampness.

Yu Tingwan waited at the corner for a while, and soon a carriage came towards her and slowly came to a stop.

Shunzi jumped down, brought over a footstool, and took the umbrella from her hand.

She lifted the curtain and bent down to go inside, and was surprised to see Wei Zhao holding a book.

"Why are you here?"

Wei Zhao leaned against the carriage, looking languid, a hand warmer resting on his lap. He slowly raised his eyes and said, "Why can't I be here?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Wei Zhao said listlessly, "If I remember correctly, we came down the mountain together."

Yu Tingwan: ...

The man said sarcastically, "Or do you just not want to see me?"

He's been like this ever since that night. Yu Tingwan has been somewhat unable to cope with it.

What a fragile and sensitive man.

However, Yu Tingwan... was quite susceptible to this.

She didn't even think Wei Zhao was being unreasonable.

After all... she had this kind of personality when she was a child.

The girl sat down next to him and turned her head to the side.

She was beautiful, with lips without a touch of rouge. When she looked intently at someone, her eyes shimmered with emotion.

At this moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she couldn't do anything about him.

Aside from being irresponsible, she really gave Wei Zhao everything she could.

She really spoils her!
The girl was patient and spoke softly: "Can't you speak properly?"

Can't blame him.

Wei Zhao originally wasn't going down the mountain. But after receiving a secret letter, he changed his mind, sent her to the Li family's clothing shop, asked her how long she would be staying, and then went to take care of his business.

Yu Tingwan guessed that the matter that Wei Zhao had to handle must be no small matter.

She didn't stay at the clothing shop for long. She originally thought that Shunzi would probably come back to pick her up after seeing Wei Zhao off.

Seeing him is no surprise.

Wei Zhao retorted irritably, "How could I be as infuriating as you?"

Yu Tingwan: "So many days have passed..."

He said quietly, "You can't get past me here."

The wheels rolled forward, heading towards the Wei family's home.

Because of the rain, the village is located at the foot of the mountain, and the excessive humidity is actually not conducive to healing.

Just as we were about to pass through the alley, someone blocked our way in the rain.

Shunzi quickly pulled on the reins, and the horse neighed and reared up on its hind legs.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Yu Tingwan leaned forward.

If she's already like this, what about Wei Zhao?

If the girl hadn't been quick-witted, Wei Zhao probably would have smashed it onto the small square table where tea was being brewed.

Yu Tingwan was still shaken.

She's thick-skinned and can withstand a scald from hot water, but what about Wei Zhao, who's so delicate?
"Your subordinate is guilty."

Shunzi's voice came from outside.

Then came a familiar voice.

"Mom."

"Mom, I've finally waited for you."

The girl frowned, lifted the curtain, and went out.

She looked at Hu Dalang, who was wearing a straw raincoat, and fell silent for a moment.

Are you surprised?

It wasn't surprising.

She seemed to have guessed that Hu Dalang would come looking for her sooner or later.

Hu Dalang was shivering from the cold, his voice muffled and hoarse: "I begged Lord Yang for the address and asked my way here."

"Don't worry, I didn't go to the Wei family to cause trouble, I just wanted to see you."

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyelids and said to Shunzi, "You take your husband back first."

She picked up the umbrella beside her, opened it, and got off the carriage.

Shunzi glanced at Yu Tingwan, and seeing that Wei Zhao in the carriage was not moving, he drove away.

The streets were deserted. It was raining, and there was no sign of any vendors outside. Yu Tingwan could only hear the sound of rain hitting her umbrella.

Seeing that Yu Tingwan was willing to see him, Hu Dalang's eyes flashed with hope. He intentionally stepped forward, but suddenly withdrew his hand the moment he got close.

Feeling uneasy and anxious.

"I……"

He gave a bitter smile: "My mother has been taken away."

Yu Tingwan said calmly, "She deserved it."

Hu Dalang said anxiously, "She must know she was wrong now and, like Father, is willing to repent. Are you really unwilling to show her any mercy?"

“When will this cycle of revenge end? Stepmother, you shouldn’t be so heartless.”

Yu Tingwan's expression was calm, her gaze fixed on the dark sky.

“If I were hard-hearted, I would have let them drag Little Xu away as well.”

The Xu family is not a very good person.

But she wasn't involved in this matter from beginning to end.

Even though she had made things difficult for Yu Tingwan many times, the girl returned all the favors without batting an eye.

Yu Tingwan hated Wang Shi's viciousness, and it was true that Hu Dazhu was selfish and cold-hearted. But she had always acted uprightly and honestly, and could not be a callous and heartless scoundrel.

Her parents sent her to school hoping she would understand reason, not to become that kind of person.

"I won't stop Shunzi, you've already been poisoned and rendered mute."

Wang, Hu Dazhu, and Hu Yaozu were all given drugs and were unable to speak.

Little Xu was quite talkative, but she dared not utter a single word.

But she has a sharp tongue, and after this incident, she'll probably curse the entire Hu family all the time, causing her to suffer as well.

The scene is bound to be chaotic.

"You say you intend to repent?"

Yu Tingwan found it funny.

"Don't you find it too hot to say something like that?"

"Even if you truly repent, so what? Can you just brush aside everything my mother went through by opening your mouth?"

"You haven't experienced my suffering, so why should I be expected to do good?"

"They tortured my mother to the point of wishing she were dead back then, so why should I show her mercy?"

The fact that Yu's father, who was so protective of his children, didn't seek revenge on the Hu family before he died meant that he had completely severed ties and had no further connection with the Hu family.

Unfortunately, Yu Tingwan ended up going to the Hu family.

The entanglement was inevitable.

"The way of Heaven is cyclical, and one reaps what one sows; this is retribution."

Hu Dalang looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested much in the past few days.

In the past few days, he has asked everyone he could for help.

He went to the post station in Ze County, hoping to get the government involved, but as soon as they heard his surname was Hu, they changed their attitude and refused to take the case.

They were completely desperate.

Hu Dalang burst into tears, crying, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you into the house in the first place."

Hu Dalang muttered, "My mother was right. She should have kicked you out of the house, left you with nowhere to go, and let you starve to death. Then none of this would have happened!"

Yu Tingwan smiled upon hearing this, completely unconcerned.

"The fact that you can stand before me now, fully intact, and say these things without being thrown out, is simply because you have taken care of me all these years."

This is a fact.

She admitted it.

It is a fact that she fell into the water and suffered a serious illness, and that Hu Dalang boiled medicine for her at her bedside for three days.

Yu Tingwan: "I was grateful to you before, but now..."

Her tone softened: "This is the last time. If there is a next time, I will show no mercy."

Hu Dalang broke down in tears.

“But Erlang is too sensitive. Even if his parents atone for their sins, it's still a matter of repaying the debt, but Erlang can't bear it. He's studied for so many years and is about to turn his life around. Aren't you going to ruin him by doing this?”

"He took so many slaps that his head was almost knocked sideways, and he's having trouble speaking right now."

"In a sense, he was unaware of the situation, so he should be considered innocent."

Yu Tingwan smiled.

"He's innocent?"

"Don't even mention his face; he's disgusting how he often lays his hands on me. Just the fact that he has the blood of Wang Shi and Hu Dazhu in his veins makes him no innocent."

"I consider myself a reasonable person, but I can't swallow my anger and bear the pain."
