The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 283 A Gentleman, Him?
A warm breeze was blowing, and the ancestral tablets of the Shun Guo Gong family were enshrined in the Wei Family Ancestral Hall.

The Wei family prospered, with its branches all residing in their ancestral home of Jinling, but the lineage of the Duke of Shun was deeply rooted in the capital.

The surroundings were quiet and serene, yet solemn and dignified.

The walls of the ancestral hall are covered with murals of various ancestors, one of which is of Duke Shun, Wei Fengxing.

The servants guarding the ancestral hall received the notice, opened the door early, prepared incense and candles, and waited quietly for the general to arrive.

But no one came for a long time.

Wei Zhao didn't go; he's having a reunion dinner in the main courtyard right now.

The air felt slightly stagnant.

Ning Suchan did not touch her chopsticks.

The Ning family members looked at each other, eating absentmindedly.

This is definitely the time to be at the ancestral hall.

Wei Zhao said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back to rest after finishing his meal.

This doesn't seem like something he would do.

Wei Zhao always followed the rules, especially in matters like this.

Going back, every time he returned from the border, no matter how late or how hungry he was, the first thing he did upon entering the house was to burn incense for his father.

Little did they know, Wei Zhao dared not go.

Last night, he secretly returned and knelt outside the ancestral hall all night. The heavy rain poured down, its force seemingly capable of crushing even the most resolute warrior, crushing his pride and spine.

Ning Suchan assumed his injuries were too severe and frowned, saying, "Your body was stabbed by sharp weapons on the battlefield, which may have damaged your heart and lungs. You also fell off the cliff. All the injuries, big and small, could be fatal."

No wonder he's only returned home after recuperating for so long.

She glanced at Wei Zhao's expression...

"What did Elder Ge say?"

Ning Suchan was still worried: "Where is he? I have to ask him myself."

Did any vital organs get injured? Will there be any lasting effects, and is it possible to fully recover? What precautions should be taken during the recovery period? All of these questions need to be answered clearly.

"He's not here; he went to find medicine for me."

"However, I have already ordered him to be recalled."

They really summoned him.

No.

After all, the crown prince would die before he could be used.

Ning Suchan: "Why?"

Wei Zhao respectfully said, "The Crown Prince is ill and weak, and His Majesty intends for Elder Ge to treat him."

A cold glint flashed in Ning Suchan's eyes.

Yu Tingwan had no idea how many scheming women the Zhou family girl was talking about.

But she felt that she was definitely no match for her!
"Mother-in-law, that's how it is."

"My husband feels that his body is just like this, he can no longer wield swords and go to the battlefield, but at least he is still alive, and he will only suffer some hardships at most."

"But the Crown Prince is different. He's waiting to be saved."

"Let alone Yao Buxun asking Ge Lao to go to the East Palace, even if my husband gave his life for the Crown Prince, he would agree without hesitation because of his loyalty to the emperor and the country."

Ning Suchan: ?
She suddenly looked at Wei Zhao: "How could you be so foolish?"

So what if the crown prince is dead!
Even if the one on the dragon throne dies, she will still say it's retribution!
Wei Zhao looked into her eyes, but was probing: "His Majesty is pleased with this, how dare I refuse?"

Ning Suchan was completely speechless, her hands tightly gripping the handkerchief.

Ruler and subject.

"Everyone below the emperor is an ant," that's what Wei Fengxing told her.

Ning Suchan felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but she didn't show it on her face.

Wei Zhao had little appetite and used very little.

Of all the people here, only Yu Tingwan ate with the most gusto, completely oblivious to the world around her.

The food is on the lighter side, but the presentation is exceptionally exquisite.

Yu Tingwan was indeed hungry, and she didn't care about the mood of the people at the table. She ate and drank as she pleased, and no one could affect her.

Sudden.

There was an extra meatball in the bowl.

Yu Tingwan glanced at Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao said gently, "The chef's specialty is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Then came another chicken leg.

Next up are the fish with the bones removed.

The bowls gradually filled up.

Seeing that the arrangement in the bowl was not aesthetically pleasing, Wei Zhao turned around and picked up a carrot-carved flower.

Yu Tingwan: ...

Just for decoration, right?

"You..." Yu Tingwan was so angry she almost laughed.

How could she not know about Wei Zhao's death!
"Don't think I don't know, you are..."

You're just bored and have nothing better to do than grab something with your bare hands. You're full but can't eat anymore!
It has happened before.

At that time, they had just gotten married, and Wei Zhao still thought about dying every day.

He has no appetite and only eats a few bites before putting down his chopsticks. He also doesn't respond when you talk to him.

If he doesn't want to eat, you can't just force him to eat.

Yu Tingwan was very worried about this.

After all, she was worried that Wei Zhao would become a grave as soon as she married into the family.

But one time, he slowly picked at his bowl, his chopsticks reaching for the dishes on the table.

Yu Tingwan was very excited.

This man! His hands, usually so elegant they only pour medicine, are now used to pick up food!
He picked up a lot of food, and the dishes in front of him became a small mountain.

But he wouldn't eat it.

Then the hill was too high...

Wei Zhaoyou: ["Oops, it's fallen over."]

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She knew the man was asking for a beating again.

Perhaps it was because he sensed her death stare.

Wei Zhao looked at Yu Tingwan.

"Let me test you, what is this?"

Yu Tingwan: [“You owe me money again.”]

Wei Zhao smiled, a smile as ethereal as the moon's reflection shattered on water: "Extreme prosperity inevitably leads to decline; things reach their extreme and then reverse."

Yu Tingwan didn't want to hear such profound things, and she certainly wouldn't indulge him.

"Don't waste it!"

"You'll see how you waste food! I'll teach you to waste food!"

Wei Zhao fell silent.

He braced his hands on the table, feeling weak and struggling to do anything.

He finally managed to stand up and try to leave, but Yu Tingwan held him down tightly.

Yu Tingwan shoved the chopsticks back into his hand: ["Eat! Eat everything you picked out for me."]

Wei Zhao didn't want her at all.

But seeing that her fist was about to come down, he became obedient.

But he couldn't eat. He looked up and met Shangyu Tingwan's menacing gaze.

"Why are you looking at me?"

I'm keeping an eye on you, you bastard!
Wei Zhao said slowly, "Are you eyeing me, or the food in my bowl?"

Yu Tingwan: ?
Wei Zhao asked himself and answered: "It's a dish."

So, he risked his life and put the food into Yu Tingwan's bowl.

For this, he was hit hard several times.

Feeling utterly bored, I served her some food.

Can……

Yu Tingwan held back and didn't hit him.

After all, there are so many people here.

Madam Ning was astonished: "I thought that Guizhi was a cold-hearted and heartless child, and that he would not know how to cherish his new wife after he married."

She was afraid Yu Tingwan wouldn't believe her, so she told Yu Tingwan the story.

"You don't know, a distant cousin from the Ning family came to stay with us. It just so happened that I ran into her that day when I went to visit her at home."

"I thought she was just being honest and kind. I also felt sorry for her tragic background and was thinking of helping her find a marriage partner later."

Given their social standing, it's impossible for them to marry that girl off to a wealthy young man.

The Ning family values ​​character when selecting people.

With the Ning family's support, if the young couple manages things well after the marriage, their lives won't be bad.

"But while she thanked me profusely, she looked down on me and even had designs on Guizhi, wanting to climb up to him."

Seeing that Yu Tingwan was listening attentively, Old Madam Ning continued.

"During the meal, he even served Guizhi some food."

"Gui Zhi, being a gentleman, didn't touch his chopsticks again. He was also considerate of me, and couldn't possibly embarrass her in front of so many people, making her lose face. He simply said he was looking for his uncle and then left the table."

Yu Tingwan: ...

gentleman?

Just him?
