The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 256 I have to put in the effort again, and I also have to coax you.

What good fortune?
At the stall next to them, the Taoist priest with the divination flag hanging on his head had been frowning ever since the Zhu family father and son appeared.

Unlike the other stalls, which were packed with people and doing brisk business, his stall was empty, with hardly any customers. It was only after a long wait that someone finally sat down at his stall.

The Taoist priest had just sat up straight when he said, "Madam, you have a fierce look on your face, I'm afraid there's something wrong with you..."

I just said a few words.

"How dare you speak like that, young man?"

The old woman in the coarse cotton coat frowned and stood up abruptly: "I was just tired from walking and wanted to rest at your stall. If you want to do business with me, you can at least say something nice, but instead you're cursing me for no reason?"

The most famous fortune teller in town said that her life would be smooth sailing!

"This temple is dedicated to Guanyin. Buddhism and Taoism have coexisted since ancient times. What are you, a Taoist priest, doing here?"

The Taoist priest didn't take it seriously.

There aren't many people here, and he's not coming yet.

"make money."

The Taoist priest said, "I haven't eaten meat in a long time."

Not all Taoist priests abstain from meat.

Except for beef, cuttlefish meat, dog meat, and goose meat, he is edible.

"Three taels of silver, no more, to ward off any bloodshed, how about it?"

aunt:??

The old woman burst into a tirade, slamming her hand on the table: "Bah! So young and already out here swindling and cheating! Daring to spout nonsense in front of the temple, you shifty-eyed bastard! I'll have my husband come over and smash your stall! I'll teach you a lesson."

The Taoist priest's face also turned sour.

"Leave if you don't listen to advice."

"Anyway, it's not me who's lost half my life."

The old woman said, "You just wait! I'll get my man over here right now."

The Taoist priest was a little annoyed.

I haven't closed a single deal yet, and I've even been scolded.

Passersby who heard the commotion stopped looking in their direction.

He was going to get something to eat to fill his stomach.

Suddenly...

The gaze fell on one spot.

To the right front, a girl dressed elegantly, with several strings of red agate hanging from her waist, and matching hairpins and bracelets on her wrists, all looked very valuable.

He wasn't the only one who saw it.

Many people looked towards Yu Tingwan.

I was surprised by her beautiful appearance, and even more surprised that someone would want to be targeted by pickpockets just by going out.

Then look at Wei Zhao, who is traveling with him.

He looked handsome and refined.

I'm afraid they won't be able to handle things or protect people.

These days, there are more thieves than kidnappers.

At this moment, the Zhu family father and son had just come out of the temple of the goddess and were about to choose a child boy, and everyone looked over.

As the crowd surged, sure enough, some of them were eager to make a move.

The man was burly, all muscle. He looked like a skilled fighter.

He's already stolen several purses today!
He was now eyeing the red agate pendant on Yu Tingwan's waist.

Even before stealing, they try to take advantage of the situation.

This girl is pretty, but touching her waist and her little hands doesn't feel quite right.

Although there was a man accompanying him.

But the pickpocket didn't take Wei Zhao seriously at all!

Besides, girls care about their reputation. If they are taken advantage of, they will mostly swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

But my hand hasn't even touched it yet.

It just clicked.

Wei Zhao didn't use much force to dislocate the man's arm.

The pickpocket's shrill voice rang out; whether from pain or fear, his face was deathly pale.

He was the kind of person who knew how to seize opportunities. He didn't dare to confront Wei Zhao anymore and stumbled away in a sorry state.

Yu Tingwan watched him leave, then slowly said, "Ah."

Wei Zhao: "What?"

Yu Tingwan: "I think he's in a lot of pain."

Wei Zhao:......

She looked down at the red agate at her waist.

This was given to me by Wei Zhao before he left.

After yesterday's affair, Yu Tingwan felt unwell all over.

Especially that spot, it seems there are still traces of being stretched.

A feeling of fullness.

This morning, she got off the couch, and her legs were sore that she almost fell. Yu Tingwan naturally couldn't blame herself!
He then looked at Wei Zhao with disdain, neither looking at him nor speaking to him.

Until Wei Zhao took out the red agate.

in fact……

Despite Yu Tingwan's usual simple and understated appearance, Yao Yao has always loved dazzling jewelry. Even after all these years, the girl still has a deep-seated love for bright colors.

Ever since Wei Zhao prepared ruby ​​and jade beads for her, he makes her wear them every time she goes out.

Yu Tingwan rarely chose white jade. Wei Zhao then knew the young lady's preferences.

Yu Tingwan felt she could forgive him a little.

She even asked specifically.

"Is this money for my hard work?"

Wei Zhao glanced at her sideways at that moment.

"I'm the one who suffers the most; I have to put in the effort and also comfort you."

I don't know how he could say something like that so calmly.

Yu Tingwan... thought it made a lot of sense.

"If you take it out now, it will give me the wrong impression."

Wei Zhao: [“What?”]

Yu Tingwan didn't explicitly mention prostitution, but rather phrased it tactfully: ["There's some kind of monetary transaction between us."]

Wei Zhao remained silent for a long time.

For him, gold and silver jewelry were merely external possessions. Having no experience in marriage for the first time, Wei Zhao didn't really know how to treat Yu Tingwan well.

But he had met his father, Wei Fengxing, who had given Ning Suchan everything he could.

Wei Zhao was the same way; she wanted to give Yu Tingwan everything she saw that was good. If other girls had something, Yu Tingwan should have it too. If they didn't have it, the girls shouldn't lack it either.

Fearing the girl would get tired from walking, he only wore two strings of agate.

He led her out of the house before slowly speaking.

"You like this?"

Yu Tingwan: ?

Wei Zhao: [“A patron and a beauty from Qinhuai?”]

Yu Tingwan: ?
Wei Zhao: [“I don’t think it’s suitable, but if you like it, it can be considered a pleasure in the boudoir.”]

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Do you want to hear what you have to say?
Wei Zhao readily agreed: "Then I'll be a regular customer, young lady."

Thinking about this, Yu Tingwan felt that Wei Zhao was not serious.

He's the one who's really good at having fun!
but……

Yu Tingwan: "That person's arm..."

Wei Zhao: "It should have been twisted off directly, but the scene was too bloody for you to watch."

"Both of you."

The young Taoist priest approached the two men.

"I feel that we are destined to meet."

He was in high spirits: "Fortune telling? No money if it's inaccurate."

Yu Tingwan also heard the commotion at the stall.

She asked in confusion, "Why are you still here? Aren't you afraid that old lady will bring people over and smash your stall?"

The Taoist priest didn't take it seriously at all: "I can't come."

"She'll get beaten up as soon as she gets back."

The threat of bloodshed is no joke.

The Taoist priest met Wei Zhao's cold gaze and said, "Both of you have extraordinary destinies."

Wei Zhao coldly said, "Get out of the way."

The Taoist priest said, "It's a preordained marriage."

Although there were setbacks, they are all in the past.

Wei Zhao: "It's fine to calculate it."

Yu Tingwan: ...Wei Zhao really has too much money and nowhere to spend it.

The Taoist priest smiled and led the person toward the stall.

"Both of you have pleasant appearances and the air of nobility about you. This is the second time I've asked for a free reading today."

Yu Tingwan sat down and couldn't help but ask a question.

"The first one is?"

He casually raised his hand and pointed ahead.

"Young Master Zhu".

The Taoist priest said, "A layer of black mist enveloped me."

Yu Tingwan looked over.

Did not see it.

The Taoist priest took out the Five Thunder Eight Trigrams Coins and a tortoise shell: "Isn't it strange that someone who should have died young is still alive?"
