The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 284 Just Be a Naked Person in the Yu Family

Pretending!

If no one was around, he definitely would have done it; he would have thrown the bowl and chopsticks right in that person's face.

At this point, Old Madam Ning became angry.

“It’s not a problem for a young woman to harbor feelings of longing, but she’s a complete idiot. Taking advantage of my inattention, she even begged Gui Zhi to let her serve him.”

Madam Ning knew that everyone wanted to climb the social ladder.

Climbing on someone else is nothing.

But would she be happy to let him climb on her grandson?

"When I heard the news, I was determined to kick her out for not behaving properly!"

She hurriedly chased after him.

Then they saw Wei Zhao looking down at that person.

Madam Ning: "Gui Zhi didn't give her any more face."

Lady Ningguo said upon hearing this, "I rushed over and heard what he said, and I still remember it now."

She cleared her throat and mimicked Wei Zhao's indifferent tone.

"You want to be a concubine?"

"But the Wei family's ancestral rules dictate that one can only marry a wife, not a concubine."

"Are you born into a good family, or are you good-looking? What outstanding qualities do you possess that would make me break family traditions for you?"

"Do you want to be the legal wife?"

"But do you think you deserve it?"

Lady Ningguo couldn't help but joke: "Later, I thought that Guizhi was of marriageable age, and your mother-in-law and I wanted to find him a wife, but the boy always avoided us."

She said to Yu Tingwan, "I thought there was a girl I liked before, so I specially sent her a portrait for him to see. Do you know what he said?"

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment.

guessed.

Lady Ningguo thought she couldn't answer: "He asked me who painted it? The painting is terrible. He'll give his opinion after it's finished."

Yu Tingwan: ...

really.

Lady Ningguo laughed: "Now look what's happened, the food is right under Guizhi's nose, and he still has to help put it in her bowl."

You don't know until you compare, and the difference is astonishing.

Moreover, there are so many people...

Yu Tingwan gazed at Wei Zhao with shimmering eyes, her voice full of affection: "My husband, you are so good to me."

Wei Zhao: "After all, you are patient and have a good temper. You take care of me like a delicate flower, and I am very grateful."

Yu Tingwan: ...

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

News of Wei Jiazi's return spread rapidly throughout the capital, reaching even the smallest alleyways and nooks and crannies.

In no time at all, all the firecrackers in the capital were sold out, and the crackling sound could be heard everywhere.

The area in front of the Wei family's house was packed with people.

There are ordinary people.

There were scholars and literati.

Some officials and their wives also sent invitations and visited in person.

The Wei family still refused to receive guests, but they did distribute wedding cakes at the door, and everyone who saw them received one.

The butler smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you all for your concern. I share your joy, but the general is unwell and cannot receive guests."

After finishing the meal, Wei Zhao excused himself, saying he was feeling weak, and went back to his courtyard to rest.

Ning Suqian watched Wei Zhao being pushed away, her gaze lingering for a long time.

Wei Zhao's residence was called Lan Garden, and its scenery was exceptionally picturesque.

Yu Tingwan nudged him, speaking softly, "Will I live with you from now on?"

Wei Zhao retorted, "You've only just arrived, and you already want to separate from me?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Yu Tingwan: "I noticed that your courtyard is quite large."

"It's a real waste to leave the house empty and uninhabited."

She pointed to a pavilion on the pond in the distance.

The pond is full of lotus flowers, but they haven't bloomed yet.

Beyond the waterside pavilion, a house was built next to it.

"I think the place has a lot of charm, but I haven't stayed there yet."

"When we can pick lotus pods again, we can open the window and eat lotus seeds."

Wei Zhao: "I understand." Wei Zhao said calmly: "We have been traveling for many days. I was worried that you were tired, so we did not have the opportunity to have marital relations."

Are you running away?

Yu Tingwan, who was still somewhat afraid: ...

Although she could experience some pleasure afterward, it was always too painful every time she went in.

A carrot and a pit.

The radish is too big; it's really crowded.

Yu Tingwan blinked and told him, "I'm tired today too."

Wei Zhao mimicked her tone: "Then what can we do? I don't intend to let you go."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Lan Garden was heavily guarded, and the Wei family army had been keeping a solemn watch ever since Wei Zhao returned.

There were no servants inside.

Wei Zhao did not let Yu Tingwan push it again.

Not long ago, the person who had difficulty walking in front of everyone stood up, pressed the girl into the wheelchair, and then turned around and pushed her along.

"Then you should rest for a while."

Yu Tingwan: ...

The surroundings were all familiar scenes.

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions, and stopped bullying her.

"Are you getting used to it?"

"The household has a small population."

Wei Zhao: "You also know my mother's temperament."

Yu Tingwan found a comfortable position.

"I enjoyed my lunch the most."

She didn't take it to heart: "I've known since I came to the capital that I can't please everyone."

I have never cared about what other people think.

She never engages in internal conflicts.

"If anyone thinks I'm not good enough, then they're the ones who have a problem with their eyes."

She hit the nail on the head: "Although my mother-in-law is taciturn and aloof, she didn't ask me to serve tea or give me a gift when we first met, but she also didn't make things difficult for me or set any rules for me."

"There will probably be quite a few people from your maternal grandmother's side in the future. Their willingness to be kind to me is not because they are satisfied with me, but simply because you value me and are therefore willing to accept me."

"But if they had a choice, they would probably still think that my status is not high enough, and that I am far inferior to the noble ladies of the capital."

Let alone wealthy and powerful families with noble titles, even people from small places like Ze County look down on those from the countryside.

Yu Tingwan: "However, they didn't show it on their faces, but they were still willing to show me kindness."

"Relationships between people are built up over time. The first impression is based on chemistry, but the second impression is based on their temperament and how they conduct themselves over a long period of time."

Yu Tingwan spoke frankly with him: "But I can't control my temper and I can't do things that please others."

Go and try to please them.

She was liked by her mother-in-law.

Go to a place where one is skilled in social graces and adept at social interaction.

Be a well-rounded and universally praised woman of the Wei family.

She can't.

Wei Zhao straightened the hairpin in her loose hair once again.

"A lot of people came to the gate, including Magistrate Hao and his daughter."

It took Yu Tingwan a while to remember who he was talking about.

Isn't she Hao Zhenzhen, the one who spoke coldly to her at the Jinluxuan jewelry shop and then ran off saying she was going to get her father to teach her a lesson?

Wei Zhao: "Prefect Hao was trembling with fear and came to apologize. The steward simply sent him away. Do you know why?"

He doesn't even need to show his face.

“I have never taken a mere prefectural magistrate of the capital seriously.”

“Uncle, after Father passed away, the Shunguo Duke’s Mansion prospered, and it was I who held it up. Rather than saying he was afraid of the Shunguo Duke’s Mansion, it would be more accurate to say he was afraid of me.”

"Your bedmate is quite capable."

Wei Zhao: "Don't even mention the prefect, even if you offend someone important, I'll always be there to back you up."

"I brought you to the capital not so you would have to be subservient to others. That's true for my mother's side, and it's also true for my maternal grandmother's side."

"The promises made to the Wei family parents in Zexian County will always stand."

You don't need to change for others.

"There is no need to worry about the future."

Wei Zhao chuckled: "Just be a nobody in the Yu family."
