The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 292 Not even half as good as Wei Zhaozhao!
A banquet was held in the palace, specifically for General Wei, who had devoted himself to the cause on the battlefield. Officials dared not slack off and left early with their female relatives.

For a time, the roads leading to the palace were extremely congested.

The carriage moved forward slowly, like a tortoise crawling.

The scene was nothing short of spectacular.

The carriage of the Imperial Household Department was prominently featured.

Shen Zhiyi leaned lazily against the carriage, glancing sideways at her half-sister who was looking in the mirror and fiddling with her jewelry.

"Your aunt has some clever tricks up her sleeve, she managed to seduce Father into wanting to bring you all here."

"It's not a matchmaking banquet. All the people here are important figures. It's fine if they come to broaden their horizons, but they should keep their minds straight. Do they really want to take this opportunity to marry a scion of a prominent family?"

She scoffed.

"People need to recognize their own identity."

"If you disgrace the Shen family, just wait and see how I deal with you."

The two concubine's daughters beside him changed their expressions, daring not to speak out despite their anger.

"Yes."

Shen Zhiyi glanced at it: "You're not convinced?"

I'm definitely not convinced.

Aside from being born to a concubine, how were they any less than Shen Zhiyi?

They were well-behaved, unlike Shen Zhiyi who only argued with other girls in the capital and didn't even have a close friend to confide in!
But they dared not say it.

Shen Zhiyi sneered: "If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself. You're just not destined for this."

She was a little annoyed because the Zhou family would also be going to the palace, and she would have to run into them again.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard the voice of a maid outside the carriage.

“Young lady, this is the Zhou family’s carriage.”

Shen Zhiyi suddenly sat up straight and lifted the carriage curtain.

Sure enough, she saw a carriage merging into the main road from another road. The carriage bore a sign for the Ministry of Works.

But Shen Zhiyi's gaze was quickly drawn to something else.

To the right front is the residence of the Duke of Shun.

She spotted Yu Tingwan at the Duke of Shun's residence immediately, her makeup extravagant and her clothes piled high with pearls and jewels.

Yet it is not at all vulgar; on the contrary, it is exquisite.

No wonder the carriage was moving so slowly; it turned out the Wei family was also preparing to depart. Many officials were deliberately giving way, wanting the carriage from the Duke of Shun's mansion to go first.

Perhaps noticing Shen Zhiyi's gaze, Yu Tingwan looked over.

Shen Zhiyi was about to wave to her.

"Sister Shen."

Someone called her.

Zhou Yurou sat in the carriage and smiled at her.

"We parted on bad terms last time, and I was saddened for quite some time. It was my fault; I really shouldn't have made you angry, sister."

This little white flower.

Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes.

Zhou Yurou bit her lip in distress, looking pitiful: "But Liu Lang and I are truly in love."

"Although he was once your fiancé, Sister Shen, you both broke off the engagement, and now you are no longer related."

"Why are you blaming me, Sister Shen? Calm down."

"Otherwise, I'll apologize to you again."

Shen Zhiyi has a fiery temper; would she really listen to that?

Unfortunately, there were many horse-drawn carriages here, attracting the attention of quite a few people.

Because of her bad reputation, everyone subconsciously forgot that she was the one who had suffered the most. They were all whispering among themselves.

"What's going on? Is Shen Zhiyi clashing with Zhou Yurou again?"

"What's so surprising about that? She just couldn't stand seeing Miss Zhou doing well."

"Even before the Chu family's young master came along, the two didn't get along. Miss Shen always treated Miss Zhou like dirt."

"Only Miss Zhou has a good temper, is tolerant of everything, and doesn't hold it against her."

The voices were kept very low.

But Shen Zhiyi could guess what he was talking about.

She was upset.

I don't understand these people, how can they be so blind as to not see how disgusting Zhou Yurou is?

“Zhou Yurou, if you have any sense of shame, you should grovel before me.”

"Shen Zhiyi!"

Ning Yunling, whose legs were weak just a moment ago, strode over.

"Stop being unreasonable and bullying people."

Shen Zhiyi felt annoyed whenever she saw Ning Yunling.

She lay on the carriage, laughing in exasperation: "She's already taken, why are you still protecting her? She has her own Liu Lang, why do you need to come out and uphold justice?"

Zhou Yurou's eyes were red.

Ning Yunling felt uneasy. Just as he was about to reprimand someone, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Who!"

Ning Yunling had a very sour face.

Turning around, I saw Yu Tingwan.

At this moment, Ning Yunling would never have imagined that this was an existence even more terrifying than her cousin.

Thinking back to the blunder last time, Ning Yunling's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law."

Yu Tingwan glanced at the sign on the carriage without showing any emotion, and seeing Shen Zhiyi's furious expression, she guessed Zhou Yurou's identity.

As the eldest sister-in-law, she looked at Ning Yunling.

"It's time to get going, what are you doing here?"

Ning Yunling: "I have something to take care of, sister-in-law, please wait a moment."

Yu Tingwan smiled.

"Deal with what?"

"As an outsider, you shouldn't interfere in the affairs between two girls, no matter how kind-hearted you are."

Everyone knows how much Ning Yunling has protected the Zhou family's daughter over the years.

The phrase "Yu Tingwan has a kind heart" is used very cleverly.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, Shen Zhiyi is making things difficult for the Zhou family's daughter again."

Zhou Yurou was always good at handling things, and she looked at Yu Tingwan with a smile.

"This must be the general's wife."

"It's nothing, we just had a little argument, it's all my fault."

"That slut!" Shen Zhiyi thought angrily, and was about to get off the carriage.

Yu Tingwan understood and looked at Ning Yunling: "She already said it was her fault, why did you come over to defend her?"

Shen Zhiyi: ! !
Ning Yunling's brain is not working properly again.

He wanted to say that wasn't the case.

What Yu Tingwan said makes a lot of sense.

Ning Yunling looked conflicted, unsure of where she had gone wrong.

Zhou Yurou?
No, since she said that, shouldn't we think Shen Zhiyi is being aggressive?
He's from the countryside after all; he can't even understand sarcasm!
"This……"

She just uttered one word.

Yu Tingwan interrupted softly, "Miss Zhou."

She asked patiently, "Did Miss Shen make things difficult for you?"

If Zhou Yurou nodded, it would be inconsistent with her public image.

She wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief: "No."

Ning Yunling couldn't bear to see her like this.

Shen Zhiyi can't watch it either!
Ke Yu Tingwan is fine.

She even looked down on it a bit.

This delicate demeanor is clearly an act. She's not even a fraction as good as Wei Zhaozhao!

Yu Tingwan didn't want to get involved.

She didn't really want Ning Yunling to get involved either.

She stopped Ning Yunling from rushing forward.

"Did you hear that?"

Ning Yunling: "I heard you!"

Miss Zhou had no way to complain!

Ning Yunling could actually understand Shen Zhiyi; after all, her fiancé had run away. Anyone would be angry in that situation.

Before Shen Zhiyi broke off the engagement, she had no connection with that Chu family man.

Zhou Yurou is kind and beautiful, which makes the Chu family's sons yearn for her. It's not Zhou Yurou's fault.

It all comes down to Chu's son's fickle nature and his own faults.

Yu Tingwan: "It's good that you heard it."

"She said that Miss Shen didn't make things difficult for her."

Ning Yunling: ?
what?
Is that...is that what you mean?

seems like it.

Zhou Yurou almost couldn't catch her breath.

Shen Zhiyi felt completely comfortable!

Really.

She felt like Yu Tingwan was glowing!

Ning Yunling, the idiot, was dumbfounded: "But... she cried."

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment and then spoke softly.

"That must be a debt of guilt, since it's not a honorable thing to do."
