The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 302 This Yu family... she had underestimated them before.

Wei Zhao paused slightly.

He is indeed quite terrifying.

He was also very calculating.

Every step we take must be carefully considered.

His heart skipped a beat, worried he might have frightened her. Then he heard Yu Tingwan ask in a gentle voice, "Could you kill the emperor without anyone noticing?"

Wei Zhao:......

Sure enough, she was no ordinary woman.

"Disaster."

He can't do it yet.

Yu Tingwan felt regret.

"I've heard that the royal palace has many offspring, with numerous princesses, but a pitifully small number of princes."

Yu Tingwan blinked: "How many princesses are there?"

Wei Zhaoying: "More than fifty people."

Yu Tingwan took a deep breath.

That old emperor is something else!
"Where is the prince?"

Wei Zhao: "Six people. Two died young, and now another one has died. The second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are left."

"The Second Prince had an accident while hunting before the New Year and lost a leg."

"The fourth prince's birth mother was originally just a palace maid who swept floors, and her birth chart clashed with that of the dog emperor. She was not valued and had mediocre talent."

Yu Tingwan understood.

Will His Majesty appoint the Fifth Prince as Crown Prince?

"will not."

Not to mention that emperors are inherently suspicious...

It is to establish...

Wei Zhao: "The Crown Princess is pregnant, and the Empress's family will definitely go to great lengths to ensure this pregnancy. The officials who previously supported the Crown Prince's faction all have dirt on them. Once they're on the Eastern Palace's side, they won't get off easily. They will definitely try to stop us."

"With the Crown Prince just gone, the Fifth Prince's faction will have to keep a low profile. How could they dare to openly petition the Emperor to appoint another Crown Prince?"

Things in officialdom are too complicated and convoluted.

Yu Tingwan simply stopped asking, as it gave her a headache.

There's no need to go to the palace for mourning; the burial is all that's needed, it's quite easy. Yu Tingwan took the opportunity to tour the Duke of Shun's mansion these few days.

but.

Her brow was furrowed.

The mother-in-law remained in the palace.

She glanced at Wei Zhao; the man's expression was indifferent.

They've considered everything; there's no way they missed this.

Relieved, Yu Tingwan finished her tea and nudged Wei Zhao with her embroidered shoes.

Wei Zhao poured her another cup.

Yu Tingwan nodded: "I want to eat walnuts."

But she didn't want to peel it.

Wei Zhao looked over.

Anyone else would have been sensible enough to peel the walnut kernels long ago.

But Wei Zhao was asking for a beating, and said slowly, "I want to eat too."

Yu Tingwan, waiting to speak: ...

What the hell.

Yu Tingwan asked tentatively, incredulously, "Then shall I peel it for you?"

If you dare to agree, then you're finished!

"How dare you."

Wei Zhao picked one up.

They were all raw walnuts, their shells too hard. But in his hands, with just a little force, he cracked them with a snap.

The fruit was still whole, and under Yu Tingwan's amazed and envious gaze, it was brought to her lips.

Yu Tingwan took a bite.

Wei Zhao mimicked her soft voice: "How about that? I'm quite sensible."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Say this without using her tone, and she might believe it.

The carriage entered directly from the main gate of the Duke of Shun's mansion and went straight into Lan Garden, stopping inside the courtyard.

The rain was so heavy it seemed capable of destroying the world.

The ground was covered in puddles.

If you step on it, your shoes and socks will probably get wet.

Yu Tingwan was about to get out of bed.

With a jingling sound, Wei Zhao scooped her up in his arms.

They took big steps.

The lights were on inside the room.

Yu Tingwan was settled into a chair by Wei Zhao, and there on the table was a steaming bowl of longevity noodles.

The portion was small, but it was very fragrant.

It was windy outside, so the door was closed.

"For me?" Wei Zhao had no idea that her birthday had long passed. He frowned slightly and said helplessly, "It's too late."

"It's not too late."

The room was dimly lit, not too bright, but Yu Tingwan's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.

"Just like you, you appeared at the perfect time."

Whether it's a past life or this life.

They all appeared during her most difficult times.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. 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.

Ning Suchan returned the following evening.

Despite the heavy rain yesterday, the sky is exceptionally bright and clear today.

Exhausted from a long day's work, she hadn't even had time to wash or eat, and simply knelt before the spirit tablet like the other noblewomen.

Even with cushions, it's still torture.

She was exhausted, so she took a short nap in the carriage after returning home.

But once she stepped out of the carriage, she shook off her exhaustion, as if nothing could break her now.

Ning Suchan stepped inside.

The butler had just come over.

Ning Suchan continued walking: "Would it be alright to return?"

"Don't worry, Madam, the General is unharmed."

Ning Suchan nodded.

"I'm afraid I won't have any free time these next few days. Tell your subordinates to be on high alert, and it would be best if they could stay home as much as possible to avoid any mishaps."

The steward replied respectfully, "The Crown Princess has given her instructions."

Ning Suchan paused for a moment, then quickly continued giving instructions.

"The entire household must wear plain clothes, and nothing bright or shiny is allowed. Especially those from the kitchen who go out to buy groceries, they are not allowed to touch any meat or fish. Keep a close eye on them. Guizhi is back to recuperate, and no one will dare to say anything, but there are people who are jealous, so be careful not to let anyone outside catch you doing anything wrong."

The housekeeper continued to respond.

"The Crown Princess has also given the order."

"After returning from the palace, I had the servants take down all the red lanterns in the mansion. I also had the people serving at Lan Garden go to the kitchen to give them instructions."

Ning Suchan concealed her surprise.

"Is there anything else you'd like to instruct?" the butler asked.

"Don't underestimate the young Princess Consort; she has given all the necessary instructions. Rest assured, Madam."

He said respectfully, "The Crown Princess thought that the Mistress should be back soon, so she had the servants prepare a meal."

Even though Ning Suchan was hungry, the strong sandalwood scent that permeated the Eastern Palace all day made her lose her appetite.

I still feel a bit nauseous.

I was just about to tell the housekeeper to remove it.

"They're all easy to digest. There's a warm yam porridge with a few slices of hawthorn. And a few refreshing side dishes to cut through the richness. The Crown Princess said that you'll have to leave early again tomorrow, and even an iron man couldn't handle it. Eating this will help you rest earlier."

Ning Suchan paused.

If Yu Tingwan acted like this right after returning to the capital, it would be considered ingratiating.

It is possible that Yu heard nothing that evening.

She wouldn't see her, and Yu Tingwan wouldn't go near her either.

Now everything is taken care of. It's just that Yu Tingwan has the ability to do it so easily.

She had underestimated the Yu family before.

-

Although Wei Zhaoren was not in the palace, he knew everything that was happening there.

Yu Tingwan wandered around the Shunguo Duke's mansion for several days, but still couldn't see the whole thing.

But she heard quite a lot.

Shunzi was very clever; he spoke of important matters to Wei Zhao and other things to Yu Tingwan.

such as.

"Madam, you don't know, the Crown Prince's coffin is made of small-leaf sandalwood. It's incredibly valuable, priceless."

Yu Tingwan wasn't interested in the Crown Prince, but she was interested in coffins.

"It's good that Madam is back; they would have been mourning her at the East Palace."

Yu Tingwan: "What if I can't cry?"

"Forced crying."

"Think about the painful things in your life, and try to squeeze out a few tears."

Shunzi said, "There is a Lord Lu who recently lost his mother. He is probably still recovering from the loss, and he is the one who cries the loudest in the Eastern Palace."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Shunzi: "And our cousin."

He was referring to Ning Yunling.

"I left home early in the morning with an onion in my pocket. Before I even entered the palace, Prince Xiao and Miss Shen had already divided up most of it."

Yu Tingwan: ...

That was wonderful.

She suddenly felt a little melancholy.

This is the occasion.

She should be included.

How lively!
