The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 238 Brothel Attire
The shop isn't big, but it has everything.

Yu Tingwan examined the hot pot the shopkeeper had handed her and readily took out her money to pay the bill.

The shopkeeper accepted it with a smile.

Since Yu Tingwan was already there, she figured she might as well see if there was anything else she needed to buy. She looked around, then raised her hand and pointed suspiciously to one spot: "What's that?"

"That's a bronze square stove, used for roasting meat."

The shop owner said, "Our area is close to the border, and this way of eating came from southern Xinjiang."

"I found it interesting, and I thought if I couldn't sell it, I'd keep it for myself."

Yu Tingwan went closer to take a look. The long furnace was divided into two layers, with long, narrow openwork at the bottom.

The shopkeeper explained, "You brush oil on top to grill the meat, and the bottom is for charcoal. You can see that you can pull out a shallow tray here to hold the ashes from the burnt charcoal."

Yu Tingwan listened very attentively.

Suddenly, the noise outside drowned out the shopkeeper's voice.

Yu Tingwan turned around and saw a dozen or so men dressed as Wei family soldiers gathered around Rong Di.

"Brother Rong!"

The one speaking was Ling Zhe.

"What are you doing here? Why haven't you replied to the letters I sent you these past few days?"

Are you very busy?

Rong Di was momentarily surprised to see them: "It's not under my jurisdiction. Your boss, Chi Yu, doesn't even have time to deal with you."

Wei Family Army: ...

But that's not what you say every time you ask us to do something!
"How much longer do we have to stay at the post station?"

"What about the other brothers?"

Some people's eyes were already red: "Have they...have they all already dispersed?"

Rong Di: ...

No.

It's just that a few of you haven't returned to the team.

Rong Di was too lazy to say anything: "Alright, go back now. Don't get in my way. Someone will contact you later."

He glanced into the shop, went inside, and soon came out carrying a hot pot and a copper stove.

Let's look at it.

I felt that this was not something Rong Di should have done.

Keep watching.

He saw the girl walking out from behind Rong Di.

The other members of Wei's army also saw it.

Yu Tingwan met their gazes without any attempt to avoid them, letting them look at her openly and even curving her lips into a smile.

Ling Zhe grabbed Rong Di: "Who is this?"

"Be more respectful in your tone."

Ling Zhe understood: "Your lover?"

Rong Di: ? ? ?
He suddenly threw a punch.

The pain caused him to stumble back a few steps.

"Brother Rong! Why did you hit me?"

Rong Di: "Do you want to die, or do you want me to die?"

Is he worthy?
Rong Di couldn't even imagine the expression on the face of the person inside the carriage.

These days, anyone who isn't blind can see Wei Zhao's feelings for Yu Tingwan.

What about those around them?
The general, having just met a girl he liked, brought everything home. Jewelry galore was a sight to behold. And on his last trip to the mine, he even grabbed a piece of ore on his way back.

Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it was all given to Yu Tingwan.

It's fortunate that we didn't go to the capital.

Otherwise, that private treasury would all belong to the Yu family!

A slight noise came from inside the carriage.

Apart from Yu Tingwan, all of these people practiced martial arts and heard it.

Rong Di understood.

He glanced at the dozen or so tall and burly members of Wei Jiajun's army.

"Go and accept the punishment yourself."

Order: ? ? ?
He wasn't feeling well.

Really.

He stared at the carriage for a long time.

understood.

This girl is probably the lover of the one inside.

He frowned deeply: "Brother Rong, it hasn't been long since the general left. Have you already switched allegiance?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jiajun all looked at him with accusing eyes.

"The general rarely punishes us!"

"As expected, people forget you when they're gone. Everyone used to say you were loyal to the general, but it hasn't been that long."

Rong Di: "Five strokes of the military rod for each person."

Ling Zhe concluded: "No wonder our leader became a deputy general back then, able to accompany the general, while you couldn't."

Rong Di's face darkened.

He doesn't like hearing this!

Rong Di: "Ten strokes of the military rod!"

Rong Di was still angry. He kicked Ling Zhe, grabbed a footstool, and turned to Yu Tingwan respectfully, saying, "If you don't want anything else to buy, I'll take you back to the alley."

Yu Tingwan: "Okay."

Seeing this scene made Ling Zhe even more uncomfortable.

Who is it?! Who is it?!
He could replace the general in a very short time.

He'd like to see that!

He strode forward without a care and lifted the carriage curtain.

I saw Wei Zhao inside, his face expressionless.

He was dumbfounded.

The next instant, his pupils dilated suddenly, and the carriage curtain was abruptly pulled down.

The Wei family army behind them were baffled.

"what happened?"

Rong Di watched expressionlessly and gave a cold laugh.

Really.

All his talk couldn't compare to the general showing his face.

Go ahead and be reckless, go ahead and court disaster!
The other members of Wei's army noticed something was wrong with the order: "Who's in there? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

They put it down too fast; they didn't even see it.

Ling Zhe's hands were trembling.

He stammered, "I...I think..."

Yu Tingwan heard him say something with great excitement.

"I saw a ghost."

As he spoke, he slapped himself hard.

Yes……

It hurts.

Ling Zhe stared wide-eyed.

Yu Tingwan: ...

Even after she got into the carriage, she couldn't stop laughing.

His shoulders twitched as he stared at the ghost in front of him.

"They have great respect for you."

Wei Zhao glanced at her sideways: "Is that so?"

"There is less fear and more respect."

Half an incense stick later, the carriage stopped in front of the Wei family's house.

Yu Tingwan was the first to squeeze out.

They started shouting even before they entered the Wei family's house.

"Mom, let's make hot pot today and roasted meat tomorrow."

Very loud sound.

Hearing this, Hui Niang hurriedly came out of the house.

"Okay, Mother will go and prepare it right away."

Mr. Sun, the old master next door, also heard it.

He said irritably, "This good-for-nothing! He hasn't even eaten today, and he's already thinking about tomorrow! He's never serious."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Niangzi smiled.

“I don’t agree with that. When my stepmother is serious, she’s quite capable.”

Master Sun loved to hear praise from Yu Tingwan.

"That's true."

"This child has been insightful since childhood. When he was in school, he only read what he wanted to read and what would benefit him for life. He wouldn't even turn his eyes to those outdated books."

Rong Di was just about to help Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao, however, did not need his help and stepped down.

He can walk very steadily now.

As soon as he landed, Wei Zhao thought of something.

"you……"

"What are the general's orders?"

Wei Zhao's dark eyes revealed no emotion: "From now on, leave the matter of finding me to Chi Yu. You stay at the mine and keep an eye on things."

Rong Di: ? ? ?
He was implicated.

Seeing that no one had come in yet, Yu Tingwan walked out of the courtyard. She then saw Rong Di's weathered back.

"He's quite innocent."

Come to think of it, Rong Di's son actually fits her previous criteria for choosing a husband quite well.

"You can't just... just because he's tall and strong, looks powerful, and seems exceptionally capable..."

The conversation was interrupted.

"Yu Tingwan".

Seeing that she was still looking, Wei Zhao said, "Come and help me up."

"Can't you walk?"

Wei Zhao said calmly, "Not now."

Wei Zhao's tone was completely flat: "Hurry up."

He said weakly, "I can't even stand up straight."

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips, seemingly helpless: "Why are you like this?"

Wei Zhao felt that she wouldn't say anything nice.

really.

Yu Tingwan uttered each word carefully.

"The status of the empress, the magnanimity of a concubine, and the manners of a brothel owner."
