The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 248 You've offended me!
I don't know how things happened after that.

Perhaps it was the fog that made people dizzy.

Perhaps it was the allure of Wei Zhao's soft voice when he spoke those words.

Yu Tingwan was originally a tiger.

Meeting Wei Zhao's dark, unfathomable eyes, she reached out and touched them with some curiosity.

Through a layer of fabric.

Wei Zhao let out a muffled groan, his eyes changing as he bit her lip hard, the action quite fierce.

An uncontrollable heat surged within him. But he gradually became dissatisfied with this. Fortunately, he still retained a sliver of rationality.

Finally, it was brought to a stop.

Wei Zhao's hands were bulging with veins, and the girl's fragrance filled his nostrils as he exhaled a deep breath.

He managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"It's my own fault."

Knowing full well that Yu Tingwan was no ordinary girl, he still deliberately tried to seduce her.

In the end, he was the one who suffered.

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Although it's true, how can you talk about yourself like that?

She was just trying to calm Wei Zhao down.

Without waiting for her reminder, Wei Zhao released her. He sighed softly, got up, and left her behind.

Yes.

he's gone.

I went to the designated cubicle to change into clean clothes and calmed my breathing.

When he came out again, he was as presentable as ever. As if nothing had happened, he said softly, "I'm going out for a bit."

Yu Tingwan blinked, not asking where he was going, and simply said, "Oh."

Wei Zhao left without the slightest hesitation. He did, however, leave behind two sentences.

"Don't push so hard."

"What if you break it? How can you use it?"

Yu Tingwan watched him leave, lost in thought.

It was clearly Wei Zhao who requested it.

She readily agreed.

It's said that women's temperaments are hard to fathom, but she felt she had a very good temper. On the contrary, the spoiled Wei Zhao had many demands.

The girl's gaze fell downwards, landing on her fair and delicate palms.

She has no experience. How can she know how to control the force?

Since it's a rare treat to soak in a hot spring, one should soak to one's heart's content. Yu Tingwan didn't rush to chase after them.

It was half an hour later when she came out. The girl walked with a light, airy gait.

Comfortable.

She was worried that she wouldn't know the way back, but after only a few steps, she saw the respectful maid waiting outside.

Upon seeing her emerge, the maidservant hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "General Wei instructed me to lead the way for you. Madam, are you going back, or would you like to wander around a bit?"

There's nothing to see.

The house is large and has everything one would expect: artificial hills, stone-carved screen walls, hand-painted galleries…

Can……

Besides these, there are none.

There weren't even any potted plants by the roadside.

It hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and a thick layer of dust had settled on it. Its original shine was completely gone.

"go back."

Maid: "Yes, please."

The road is quite long and winding.

Yu Tingwan thought that when she returned, she would be faced with a room containing only a bed. However, before she even got close to the room, she saw servants going in and out.

She stepped inside and saw a man standing in the courtyard, bundled up tightly.

His back view looked gloomy.

The maid, fearing she might not recognize him, said, "Madam, that is our master."

Perhaps hearing the sound, Ying Fuyan, who was holding the new hot water bottle, turned around and looked over.

He glanced around but didn't see Wei Zhao. Instead, he saw Yu Tingwan standing gracefully at the courtyard gate.

His eyes froze.

It seems that the distance was too great for Ying Fuyan to see clearly.

He stepped forward.

They're not walking slowly.

It looks stable.

However, all the servants who attended to him knew that Ying Fuyan had difficulty walking. His legs had been broken before, and it was only after General Jingyuan found him that they were reattached.

The limp becomes very noticeable once you start walking fast.

Ying Fuyan stood in front of Yu Tingwan.

"you."

His gaze was fixed on Yu Tingwan, as if he could see a flower in her eyes.

Yu Tingwan had seen that look in He Xuran's eyes before. When this Prince Ying left the capital, he carried with him some childhood memories, so it was understandable that he had met the Grand Tutor's wife.

"you……"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Yes, I do resemble the nobleman from the capital.

Ying Fuyan: "Is the gold hairpin in your hair very heavy, sister-in-law?"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

What the hell.

Ying Fuyan noticed the surprise on the girl's face and assumed she was taken aback by the way she was addressed: "Didn't he tell you?"

Perhaps it was the cold, for he wasn't standing very straight. Years of suffering had taken their toll; he lacked the youthful vigor of his age. He looked young, yet resembled a frail old man.

“Back then, the two families frequently visited each other. Whenever General Jingyuan returned to his residence, I would stay at the Wei family’s residence with my father for a few days. I called the Duke of Shun “uncle”, so logically, it wouldn’t be wrong for him to call me “elder brother”.”

Since the Duke of Shun left, no one has come here. It's somewhat novel that someone is now coming.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhao was a man of few words, and yesterday, apart from business, he didn't want to talk to him much about anything else.

"Following him must be pretty boring, right?"

Ying Fuyan said, "The two uncles of the Wei family are one refined and the other cheerful. He... is rather old-fashioned and solemn."

Old-fashioned?

That guy who was spouting nonsense not long ago!
The young woman tentatively asked, "Is the young master here to find his husband?"

What prince?
The Prince of Yan's residence had already been sealed off.

Ying Fuyan did not refute.

"Not counting."

"Knowing that your yard is a bit empty, I'll have someone send some furniture over."

After saying that, his tone became noticeably cheerful: "I recently received a sum of money."

Chi Yu's actions weren't that quick, and the funds allocated by the accounting department wouldn't arrive so soon.

It's nothing more than that he got a lot of silver notes from Wei Zhao yesterday.

Yu Tingwan looked at what the servant was carrying.

They all look very cheap.

but!

After experiencing having nothing, Yu Tingwan even felt that Ying Fuyan was very hospitable and generous!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Fuyan: "Don't mention it."

Ying Fuyan's gaze fell on her again.

To be precise, it's around the waist.

There are no more gemstones hanging there, but there are white jade beads that have been polished to the same size.

Looking at the jade bracelet on the girl's wrist, it is clear that it is a set.

Ying Fuyan asked with interest, "These pieces of jewelry must be very expensive, right?"

"I don't know, my husband prepared them all."

"Then he's quite willing to spend money on you."

This is true.

Yu Tingwan nodded, not knowing what to say, so she continued, "I packed several boxes of odds and ends, but I couldn't bring them with me this time."

It's too much.

"However, my husband said we'll get it again later."

Ying Fuyan couldn't listen anymore.

He was very sour.

The hot water bottle in my hand doesn't smell good anymore.

Yesterday he asked for silver notes, jade pendants, and even the outer robe that Wei Zhao took off when he came inside.

It's not for warmth.

The subtle pattern on the outer garment was embroidered with gold thread.

But Wei Zhao told him not to push his luck.

Wei Zhao entered from outside at this time.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Yu Tingwan and Ying Fuyan standing together talking.

He frowned and stepped closer.

Then they heard Ying Fuyan muttering to himself.

"How can I be a man?"

Wei Zhao: ...He's having another episode.

Ying Fuyan: "It would be so nice to be Wei Zhao's woman."

Yu Tingwan sensed something was wrong.

"Your Highness... are you envious?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Your face practically screams "I'll take your place."

Offending Wei...

It's my turn!
Yao Yao: Aunt He taught me to be wary of those girls outside who were throwing themselves at Wei Zhao, but she didn't teach me to be wary of men too?
