The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 335 is specifically designed to make you unhappy.
Outside the car it was noisy, but inside, Yu Tingwan didn't speak again after saying those words.

She needs to get enough rest!

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but say, "The Duke of Zhou's mansion has invited quite a few people; this banquet is quite grand. I heard that the Duke of Zhou dotes on his granddaughter and goes to visit her as soon as he finishes court."

She scoffed.

"Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that a son had been born into their household."

Yu Tingwan: ...

It's my son.

He's just not her biological child.

It was even sent to the palace, which the Duke of Zhou could not help but celebrate.

As for whether it hurts or not.

Who knows if it's true or false.

Meanwhile, the front gate of the Duke of Zhou's mansion was bustling with activity, with many carriages parked there as ladies from various families arrived with gifts.

The elegant and dignified Lady Zhou, the wife of the Duke of Zhou, stood at the door to greet the guests.

"My dear in-laws, this is a joyous occasion!"

As Madam Chu spoke, she stepped down from the carriage and walked quickly over, with Chu Liulang following behind her to pay his respects to the Duchess of Zhou.

"Auntie, are you well?"

The Duchess of Zhou nodded to him, but her attitude towards this playboy was not particularly warm.

"Sixth Brother has arrived too."

Madam Chu said, "The siblings have always had a deep bond. Now that they have a niece, they have no choice but to put aside what they are doing to help her."

As she spoke, she smiled and stepped forward to take the hand of the Duchess of Zhou: "My Ning'er is so lucky. She became pregnant not long after marrying her husband. And with you, her mother-in-law, taking care of her, her first pregnancy went so smoothly."

"She is fertile, and she will surely give birth to several sons for the Zhou family."

The family has welcomed a new member, a baby girl, but she is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, which is indeed a joyous occasion.

Lady Zhou, the wife of the Duke of Zhou, also smiled.

"Ning'er has been looking forward to her in-laws' arrival since early morning, and she's still waiting inside the house."

She gave an order to the servants behind her.

"Why don't you hurry up and take your in-laws and Liu Lang over to meet them first?"

As she spoke, she added, "There are quite a few ladies here; I'm afraid we've neglected them. Let's go and invite the young master out so he can greet the guests quickly."

Lady Chu was led inside by a servant.

But when she was almost at Chu Ning's courtyard, she stopped and deliberately sent the servants away.

"We have a lot of guests today, so we might not have enough staff. The rest is just ahead. Go and get busy. There's no need to see anyone off."

"Yes."

After everyone had gone far away, before Madam Chu could even warn him, Chu Liulang hurriedly assured her, "Mother, don't worry, I won't have any more inappropriate thoughts!"

In the past, he might have reminisced about the days he had an affair with his younger sister.

But now he's in a relationship with Zhou Yurou.

Chu Liulang had never seen a woman as flawless and beautiful as Zhou Yurou. He had long since put his past with Chu Ning behind him.

"It's good to know."

"Your father was confused back then. He almost beat Ning'er to death and even threatened to break your legs."

"Now that Ning'er has a child and a good home, everything has been kept secret. If you cause trouble, you don't need your father; I'll be the first to punish you!"

At this point, Madam Chu's eyes flashed with disdain.

So what if the Duke of Zhou's mansion is so powerful and wealthy? They were still completely fooled by the Chu family.

"Yes."

About an hour later, the carriage from the Duke of Shun's mansion finally stopped outside the Duke of Zhou's mansion.

As soon as Yu Tingwan poked her head out, Tan Jiang helped her down to the ground.

She was very low-key, but the people she associated with were all shrewd and capable. After recognizing the carriage of the Duke of Shunguo's mansion, she was about to come over to exchange pleasantries, but she saw that Zhou Xuan, the Duke's heir who was entertaining the guests, was very hospitable and beat them to it.

"Please come inside, Madam General."

Zhou Xuan made a gesture of invitation, but it wasn't exactly respectful.

He's just a self-righteous idiot.

No matter how capable Wei Zhao is, he is destined for a short life; who knows how long he will live?

He didn't take Wei Zhao seriously at all.

As for this young mistress of the Wei family...

So what if she's the Grand Tutor's own daughter?
Have we seen the Gu family visiting the Wei family these days?

I'm afraid they're not close. Zhou Xuan's gaze fell on the carriage, but he didn't see Wei Zhao, but Shen Zhiyi, whose smile was slightly faint.

He truly felt that the Wei family was disrespecting the Zhou family.

Why hasn't the general come?

Zhou Xuan: "Is he unwell again? What a pity, I was hoping to learn from him."

Yu Tingwan narrowed her eyes.

She wasn't angry.

After all, the more smug Zhou Xuan is now, the more pathetic he will be later.

But some people are angry!

"Zhou Xuan, who are you? And who are Wei Zhao? What? Does your daughter have the surname Ying? Does he have to come all the way here in person to kowtow?"

"Ask for knowledge? Don't you know your own level?"

Xiao Huaiyan's voice came from behind.

Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw Xiao Huaiyan riding towards her, looking exceptionally unrestrained.

Upon approaching, he jumped off his horse, tossed the reins to a servant outside the Duke of Zhou's mansion, and strode over.

"It's already a great honor for you that your wife came."

Xiao Huaiyan: "I'm also puzzled. It's just that you had a daughter, but your family wants to make a big fuss about it. What are you showing off for?"

"Showing off that you're a real man, capable of carrying on the family line?"

"But who can't?"

Xiao Huaiyan: "Is this the only good thing about you?"

Zhou Xuan: "You!"

He was furious: "What does Young Master Xiao mean?"

"If you've come here to make things difficult for the Zhou family, please turn back!"

"That's not right."

"I'm clearly doing this on purpose to make you unhappy."

Xiao Huaiyan: "Everyone in the capital knows that I despise you, Zhou Xuan, the most."

"But you've already sent the invitations."

Xiao Huaiyan: "My mother has something to do, but I don't have a wife and there are no suitable women in the family, so I have to come."

"What, do you think my Xiao family isn't giving us face and want my father to come?"

"Also."

He turned and gave instructions to the servant.

"Laide, my father is meeting with the Emperor right now. You must stop him. He's old and doesn't know his place. What does the Emperor matter? Celebrating the Zhou family's daughter's birthday is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan's face turned ashen.

But with so many people watching, I can only lower my head.

"No, no, no."

"Young Master Xiao, please stop joking. Marquis Xiao has important business to attend to."

Xiao Huaiyan scoffed.

"So you only pick on the easy targets."

"What's wrong? Is it because my sister-in-law is a new bride and is too shy to do anything to you? Or do you think Wei Zhao is seriously ill and about to die, and that the Wei family will fall into ruin sooner or later, so you don't take the young mistress of the Wei family seriously?"

When Xiao Huaiyan got to this point, he felt that Wei Zhao was a complete scoundrel!

Wei Zhao is quite protective of his wife, isn't he?

How did Yu Tingwan manage to break into the den of wolves and tigers in the Duke of Zhou's mansion?

She's still just a young woman, and although she's a daughter of the Gu family, she's never truly experienced the wickedness of human nature. How many people in the capital aren't wolves in sheep's clothing? What if her sister-in-law suffers some injustice?
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?

Thin-skinned?
Shen Zhiyi turned her head and asked, "Is he talking about you?"

Yu Tingwan was very unhappy: "Why can't it be me?"

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Xiao Huaiyan insisted on bringing Zhou Xuan's dark thoughts into the open.

All the passing guests stopped and listened for what seemed like an eternity, but no one dared to come and offer any advice.

Yu Tingwan hadn't even entered the gate yet, nor had she made any moves, and the atmosphere was already thick with tension.

Zhou Xuan's smile froze, and he chuckled awkwardly, "How could I dare to say that? I have the utmost respect for General Wei and his wife."

Xiao Huaiyan didn't know whether he had believed it or not.

"It better be this way!"
