The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 249 I've Offended Him
Spring is in full bloom. Nestled against the mountains, the air is thick with moisture, and a thin mist hangs in the air through the gaps in the trees.

A mountain breeze brushed against my cheek, slightly chilly.

The room had been completely renovated and had everything it needed. The servant withdrew, walking briskly and silently.

Wei Zhao calmly withdrew his gaze.

The servants and maids here are all skilled in martial arts.

After arriving in the capital, the young lady will need to be accompanied by skilled martial artists who will protect her at all times. The Wei family army is entirely composed of men, which is inconvenient.

Ying Fuyan looked over at this moment.

Squinting.

Wei Zhao was clearly not wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

"Brothers and sisters."

Yu Tingwan: "Hmm?"

"They say brothers are like limbs, and daughters are like clothes. Look at him, he changes his clothes quite often. There are only a few of us here, who is he dressing up for?"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She tried her best to analyze it word by word.

I could understand everything, but it still felt really awkward. Especially when Ying Fuyan was speaking, his eyes were practically glued to Wei Zhao.

"Of course it's for me to see."

Not you.

The girl's voice was as gentle as ever: "Outside there are slovenly, unkempt men, and flamboyant men who are even more heavily made up than girls and frequent brothels. It's really unpleasant to see them."

“My husband dresses properly and is very clean. Even if he changes his clothes three times in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it’s no big deal.”

Ying Fuyan grasped the key points
One stick of incense is used three times.

He really showed off!

Ying Fuyan looked at Wei Zhao and then at Yu Tingwan.

It's hard not to marvel at how fast time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the baby boy who once lay by the cradle, watching longingly as he slept, has now grown up and started a family.

"You and your husband have a good relationship."

Wei Zhao noticed it the moment he entered. His gaze remained fixed on Yu Tingwan.

It has warmth and gentleness.

When she turned her attention to Ying Fuyan, all that remained was indifference.

If we really have to find another point...

Yes... it's dislike.

Ying Fuyan: ...

Yu Tingwan readily agreed: "Yes!"

Ying Fuyan: "His temper isn't exactly good, so don't always put up with everything. If you get bullied later, as his older brother, I can help you reprimand him."

Yu Tingwan felt that he was exaggerating.

But the sentiment is there, and one should always appreciate it.

The girl answered without hesitation: "Okay."

Ying Fuyan: "Actually, it's not bad when you think about it. He's good-looking, and you might eat a few more bites if you see him."

Yu Tingwan fell silent for a moment.

"Yes!"

Wei Zhao:......

I'm in a bad mood again.

While the two were talking, he had already stood up beside Yu Tingwan.

"Why did the young master come here? Just give the order about the furniture, he can stay indoors. Why make this trip?"

Wei Zhao's gaze drifted down to his obviously unsteady legs.

"Do you think you can live a long time?"

Ying Fuyan: ...

What they said was really unpleasant to hear.

I don't know who he looks like.

Uncle Wei was gentle and refined, while Aunt Ning was dignified and proper.

Ying Fuyan asked, "Did I offend you?"

Wei Zhao remained silent.

Yu Tingwan is very self-aware.

She looked up at the sky; it was very blue. Then she looked down at her embroidered shoes and kicked a pebble.

Pretend to be busy.

Then very quietly.

"I'm the one who offended him."

Wei Zhao tightened the cloak around the girl's neck: "It's cold outside, let's go back inside?"

Yu Tingwan was about to nod.

"no!"

"She provokes you, and you retaliate against me, yet you're worried about her getting cold?"

Ying Fuyan has lived for so many years and has suffered countless grievances.

After the family's fortunes declined, those who had previously fawned over them and tried to curry favor with them turned on them, avoiding them for fear of being implicated. Emperor Yingqian wanted him dead, to completely extinguish the bloodline of the Prince of Yan's family, but for the sake of his reputation, he never carried out the deed.

The place of exile was in the Lingnan region, a place teeming with insects, snakes, and miasma.

There were many living people, but even more dead. They were all criminals of the imperial court, and no one claimed their bodies after they died.

They had to cultivate wasteland and then hammer and chisel stones to build city walls. It was all physically demanding work, requiring them to work from dawn till dusk.

The other prisoners, seeing that he was young, not only stole his food and went hungry, but also took their anger out on him, humiliating him with sticks and canes until he was covered in bruises before they would stop.

Also.

These wicked people resented the imperial court. The once high and mighty Prince Yan was now a prisoner. Who wouldn't want to kick him while he was down to vent their anger?
The officials didn't care; as long as Ying Fuyan was kept alive, that was enough.

Ying Fuyan endured it all.

High branches are easily broken; wealth and honor are nothing but a fleeting dream.

He has to live.

Even if it's humiliating, you have to live.

If you die, you lose everything, but if you live, there is still hope.

But now he feels very frustrated.

He found Wei Zhao's behavior utterly baffling!
If you can't bear to scold your wife, then scold him instead?

Although... there is some truth to it.

Ying Fuyan raised his hand: "One hundred taels."

"Otherwise, this matter will not be resolved."

They're really obsessed with money.

Now that Ying Fuyan had left, he wasn't in a hurry to go back.

I'll have lunch here at your place at noon.

Wei Zhao: "It's inconvenient."

Ying Fuyan: ? ? ?

Wei Zhao: "Get ready to leave."

Ying Fuyan: ? ? ? ?
Yu Tingwan paused slightly.

so fast.

As Wei Zhao finished speaking, Shunzi strode in from outside.

"General, the horses are ready."

Wei Zhao nodded and glanced at Yu Tingwan.

The girl understood, knowing that he had something to say to Ying Fuyan.

"I'm going in to pack my luggage."

Watching the person leave, Ying Fuyan touched the hot water bottle in her hand: "Why the rush? I thought you could stay for a few days. Are you planning to go straight back to the capital?"

Wei Zhao replied calmly, "I have personal matters to attend to."

Ying Fuyan thought it was an important matter, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Didn't you come by carriage? Young women are delicate, so if you take her with you, you should take good care of her."

Not only is it cold, but young women have delicate skin. Riding a horse for a long time can cause their legs to get chafed.

Wei Zhao knew what was going on.

Let’s get down to business.

"I will have someone send you the Tianshan snow lotus and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

These are all nourishing, and eating them will not do any harm to your health.

Ying Fuyan was surprised to hear this.

Let's put the price aside for now. The Tian Shan snow lotus is only found in the Western Regions, and only a few grow each year. Lingzhi mushrooms are rare, even after a hundred years.

"You have it?"

Wei Zhao: "No."

Ying Fuyan: ...

Wei Zhao glanced at him: "I know who has it."

"Who?"

"Prince."

"In the battle where I faked my death, the barbarians were defeated and sued for peace. In addition to ceding territory, they also gave away many priceless treasures, including those two medicinal herbs."

The emperor gladly accepted it and gave it to the ailing crown prince. It was kept in the Eastern Palace's private treasury.

The medicinal herbs are precious and can save lives in critical moments.

The imperial physicians dared not use it.

After all, the royal family is waiting for Elder Ge to come over so that he can use the medicine and make the most of its value.

Ying Fuyan pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid the Crown Prince won't give it to us."

No, it won't.

Wei Zhao said lightly, "I also find it troublesome."

"Just steal it."

Once he recovers, it won't be difficult for him to sneak into the palace unnoticed.

Ying Fuyan: ? ? ?

Are you a robber?!
He couldn't even believe those words came from Wei Zhao's mouth.

He looks quite refined!
