The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 274 Does she look like the kind of person who causes trouble?

Yu Tingwan knew nothing about the affairs of the Duke of Shun's mansion.

Wei Zhao sent her to Jinluxuan, one of the top jewelry shops in the capital.

Few people know that it belongs to him.

We'll come and pick him up after he leaves the palace.

Wei Zhao knew that Ning Suchan was a person who valued her dignity and wouldn't make things difficult for her, but he was afraid that the girl would suffer from her cold attitude.

The group entered through the back door and went straight to the third floor.

There were already people waiting at the entrance of the private room: a maid dressed neatly and smartly, and a woman dressed in gold and silver with a calm expression.

"This is the person I had Chi Yu send over. He knows martial arts and will be following you from now on."

The maid had a round face, large eyes, and a smiling demeanor; she didn't look imposing at all. Yet, she was ruthless at killing. She clasped her hands in a respectful greeting: "Your subordinate, Tan Jiang, greets Madam."

Yu Tingwan was already used to the people around Wei Zhao bowing to her at the drop of a hat.

She looked at Tan Jiang and felt a special affinity for him.

Just as I was about to say something, a few images flashed before my eyes.

It wasn't at Jinluxuan, but at a villa in Zexian County that she had seen before.

Dressed as a maid, she handed the prepared medicine to Wei Zhao.

It's not hot anymore.

Wei Zhao tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then pulled the person into his arms.

Yu Tingwan sat on Wei Zhao's lap, struggling slightly in her confusion: "Young Master."

Wei Zhao did not let go, but stared intently at her.

"do not move."

"It's reopened the wound."

His tone was unusually weak, yet also shameless.

"It hurts."

She indeed dared not move.

"How have you considered what I told you before?"

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with her fingertips: "Not...not yet."

He rested his head against the girl's forehead: "Isn't it good to be with me? I want to be good to you."

"I don't want to wait any longer."

Yu Tingwan's ears went weak: "Don't rush me."

She said softly, "I...I still need to go out to buy groceries."

Wei Zhao: "Let someone else go."

Who should go?
There were few servants in this courtyard, just her, Old Ge, and the mute cook sent by Magistrate Xiao to cook in the kitchen.

The cook fell a few days ago and has difficulty walking. We can't let Old Ge go grocery shopping.

Just as Yu Tingwan was about to ask him to let go, Wei Zhao spoke calmly to the outside world.

"Come in."

Soon, a round-faced maid carried her inside.

She has big, smiling eyes.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to her.

"Your subordinate, Tan Jiang, greets the young lady."

The scene stopped abruptly.

Yu Tingwan hasn't seen what happened in her previous life for a long time.

It's inevitable to feel disoriented.

"That's Manager Liu from the shop."

Manager Liu was surprised by Tan Jiang's form of address. He glanced at Wei Zhao and, seeing that Wei Zhao showed no sign of displeasure, clearly approved. Still surprised, he stepped forward and curtsied, saying, "Madam."

Wei Zhao looked at the two of them and said, "Take good care of her."

"Yes."

Wei Zhao left only after he had settled the people in.

Manager Liu was respectful and attentive, trying to lead Yu Tingwan to a private room: "What would you like to see, Madam? We have everything for young ladies in the shop. Hair ornaments, earrings, necklaces, arm ornaments..."

She had a sharp eye; just one glance at the jewel at Yu Tingwan's waist was enough to tell it was extraordinary. Moreover, given how much Wei Zhao valued it, she dared not be negligent.

"Among the hair ornaments are hairpins, hair ornaments, hairpins, hair sticks, hairpins..."

"Among the necklaces are a choker, a necklace, a longevity lock, and court beads..."

"By the way, we just acquired a batch of top-quality conch pearls, cherry blossom pink. They are beautiful but very rare, with only twelve in total. They are perfect for making beaded flowers."

It seemed that if Yu Tingwan wanted, she could bring everything up and let her choose whatever she wanted.

Yu Tingwan doesn't know much about jewelry.

They also felt it was troublesome for the shopkeeper to bring the jewelry up.

"I'll go down and see for myself."

Shopkeeper: "Alright, please go ahead."

Jinluxuan has three floors.

The first and second floors are filled with jewelry, while the third floor has private rooms of various sizes for ladies to rest after shopping.

Yu Tingwan went down the stairs to the second floor.

Why is Jinluxuan so deserted today?

The female customer on the second floor muttered to herself.

"They've all spread the word that there are conch pearls for sale."

It's no wonder she said that.

Only one out of thousands of conch shells will produce a Phoenix Conch. Among them, those that produce high-quality ones are even rarer.

"you forgot?"

"The Zhou family intended to hold a Flower Festival and invited only young ladies of high status to the banquet. However, they all had their invitations rejected by the barber. Some were unwell, some were too busy to find the time... there were too many reasons."

“At this critical juncture, if someone were to come and browse Jinluxuan, it would be a blatant slap in the face to the Zhou family.” “Jinluxuan’s jewelry has always been expensive, and people from humble backgrounds can’t afford it, so it’s bound to be deserted.”

"indeed."

However, everyone's gaze fell upon a woman in a yellow silk dress not far away, holding a cloud-patterned fan, her delicate eyebrows lightly swept, graceful and elegant.

"Miss Shen, didn't you receive an invitation from the Zhou family?"

"received."

The woman in yellow spoke with disdain.

"I declined."

"I'm not like those people, hypocritical and pretentious, making up excuses. I just find the Zhou family girl disgusting."

The woman in yellow looked up: "What? Isn't she pretentious and disgusting?"

No one knew how to respond, so they could only awkwardly change the subject.

"Those young ladies are all still unmarried, why don't you take this opportunity to go over there? You might just find a good match."

"That's true, they all went in previous years."

The scene was about to become lively again.

The woman in yellow sneered.

"Can they be the same? In previous years, when General Wei was around, who wouldn't have rushed to serve him?"

"He Xuran of the He family is still alive, but he is not in the capital."

"Who were those people showing off their flowers to? To those spoiled brats who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun?"

That was really blunt.

Yu Tingwan blinked when she heard the familiar name.

"lady."

Tan Jiang, who had received training from Chi Yu, spoke from behind.

"That's the daughter of the Director of the Imperial Household Department. She has a terrible temper. She's offended countless people, and many people avoid her."

Yu Tingwan realized it.

Other girls are afraid of her.

but……

Shaofujian?
She had heard people mention it before.

"But you don't need to!"

Tan Jiang: "You're just a mere Junior Supervisor. Even if you cause the sky to collapse, the General can mend it."

Yu Tingwan: ?
What are you saying?

Does she look like the kind of person who causes trouble?

It seems so...

Yu Tingwan paused to reflect, then chose to continue looking at the cherry blossom pink conch pearl.

But then someone squeezed through.

The woman in yellow, Shen Zhiyi, glanced at Yu Tingwan, not recognizing her. She then looked at her sideways and asked, "Can you afford it?"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

"I can't afford it."

After all, someone gave it to me.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at her outfit. Her arrogance faded slightly. She reached out and touched the ruby ​​at Yu Tingwan's waist.

The gems collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.

"What? It's fake?"

Yu Tingwan disliked getting close to people, so she took a few steps back and frowned as she looked at her.

"Do not touch me."

Shen Zhiyi said with displeasure, "I'm not going to hit you, why are you hiding?"

Yu Tingwan said slowly, "You probably don't believe me."

"If you dare to lay a hand on me, you'll be sent flying before you even touch me."

Often, no one dares to believe the truth.

Shen Zhiyi chuckled and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Yu Tingwan: "I know."

She whispered to Shen Zhiyi, "I once heard someone mention that there was a young lady in the Imperial Household Department who secretly flirted with General Wei. Not only did he say that she had an eye disease, but she was also suspected of being a spy and was sent to prison."

It's quite funny.

Yu Tingwan didn't quite believe it.

Concerned about her reputation, Yu Tingwan spoke softly, and the other female guests couldn't hear her clearly.

She asked very sincerely, "Is it you?"

Shen Zhiyi: !!!

Although this is something that everyone in the capital knows.

But she immediately lost her temper!

"you!"

How dare you say such a thing!

"Since you know me, don't you know that there's no one in the entire capital with a more arrogant personality than me?"

Dare to mess with her?
Do you know what the consequences will be?

She was about to say something harsh.

Yu Tingwan: "I see."

She seemed to understand something at first, and now she knew.

The girl was very perfunctory, but still remained gentle and kind.

"However, we have it now."
