The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 350 Your wife is strict
Seeing Rong Di's face growing increasingly grim, Shunzi began to panic.

"W-what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Then I heard a gentle, soft voice.

“That’s right.”

"That's good!"

Yu Tingwan spoke softly and gently.

"It's because he... didn't even have a chance to contribute."

Shunzi: ...

Rong Di: ...

Tan Jiang went back to her room and changed into a neat outfit, tying her hair up high.

Since Rong Di returned, she hadn't had a chance to fight him, and today she was determined to have a good fight.

When Yu Tingwan saw her coming towards her, she seemed to remember something and looked at Rong Di: "I have something to ask you?"

Rong Di suppressed his sadness and stepped forward, clasping his hands in greeting: "Madam, please ask."

"I heard you live alone?"

"Yes."

So many years have passed, and quite a few people around him know about his situation, so Rong Di doesn't feel there's anything he can't say.

“My parents passed away early, and my uncle and aunt were unwilling to take me in. My grandparents also complained that I ate too much, so they sold me early on. If it weren’t for the general, I would probably be dead by now. Over the years, I have long since lost contact with those people.”

Yu Tingwan: "Then... you shouldn't be married?"

Rong Di could not understand that this was meant to be an introduction.

He burst out laughing.

I never thought about getting married before.

But when Yu Tingwan mentioned it, he suddenly felt that he should have a wife.

The marriage arranged by his wife could not possibly harm him.

So what if Chi Yu was chosen by so many members of the Wei family army? It doesn't mean his wife would choose him!
Shameful superiority has caught a cold.

"No."

"Whom does Madam wish to tell me?"

Tan Jiang walked over.

She walked up to Rong Di.

I hadn't even uttered the word "I" yet.

Rong Di's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"Are you looking for me to demonstrate?"

He remembered Tan Jiang, who served by Yu Tingwan's side. Tan Jiang was trained by Chi Yu and had fought with him several times, becoming more courageous with each defeat.

Rong Di was quite appreciative of him.

Tan Jiang thought there was nothing wrong with it: "Right?"

Rong Di felt relieved.

"Madam, please allow me to exchange a few blows with her first."

Yu Tingwan nodded, remembering that the Wei family army all avoided him like the plague, and was about to remind his subordinates not to be reckless.

Tan Jiang rolled up his sleeves: "No leniency allowed."

Rong Di: "Nonsense, why would we differentiate between men and women when we're fighting?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

The two didn't go onto the ring; instead, they found an open space.

Rong Di attacked swiftly and ruthlessly. At first, Tan Jiang could still defend himself, but he was soon no match for him.

But she refused to admit defeat.

Therefore, she suffered a great deal.

But the more she fought, the more exhilarated she became.

Yu Tingwan didn't dare to look.

With a final snap, Tan Jiang was pinned to the ground, his left arm dislocated again.

Rong Di stopped.

Tan Jiang bit her lip and struggled to her feet, but her eyes were bright, much brighter than when she heard the madam ask Rong Di if he was married!
Although it hurt, she found her fatal flaw and learned something from it!
I benefited greatly from this!
Seeing the bruises on her face, her limp, and her hands hanging limply, Yu Tingwan felt a wave of dizziness.

That night.

The sky was overcast.

The sky was nearly empty of stars, and the streets were deserted, yet someone arrived at the Chu family's door. "What? A annulment of the engagement?"

These past few days have been a living hell. Madam Chu seems to have aged decades, and her former arrogance is gone. At this moment, she looks at the uninvited guest, suppressing her anger.

"The two families have already exchanged betrothal certificates, their horoscopes are compatible, and the wedding date has been set. Now that my Chu family has encountered trouble, you think you can just call off the engagement? Dream on!"

"Who do we have here in the middle of the night? It turns out you're afraid of being seen by others, and that your Zhou family wants to break off the engagement."

Although the Chu family already has a bad reputation, it is only natural for the woman to want to break off the engagement. However, it is still easy to leave a bad impression and end up with a reputation for being unfaithful and heartless.

After all, Chu Liulang broke off the engagement with the Shen family for Zhou Yurou's sake.

Madam Zhou was furious: "How dare you bring that up? We've been waiting for you to come all this time. But have you come?"

"To be honest, our Zhou family is doing this for your own good. If the Chu family spares the daughter of a good family, at least outsiders will still look up to them."

At this point, she became angry and started yelling at people.

"Your son's reputation is so bad, yet you still want to drag my Yu Rou down with you? You've brought shame upon the Emperor. The Chu family is now like a stinking rat in the street, hated by everyone."

"Can we still marry our daughter into this family?"

"Besides, you left Chu Ning at home with a child! Who knows if another child might suddenly appear one day! Let alone our Zhou family, what respectable family would want to enter your house?"

Madam Chu gritted her teeth, finding the Zhou family utterly disgusting!
Back then, weren't these the same people who were eager to get close to me?
"And what good is your daughter? My sixth son and the daughter of the Shen family were already engaged! But she went out of her way to seduce him. If I hadn't disliked that Shen family girl's arrogance and domineering attitude, and if you hadn't been so obsequious to me all the time, would I have even looked at her?"

Madam Zhou did not like to hear these words.

She did flatter him, and was quite obsequious.

The Chu family simply had the resources to do so at that time.

But what is the Chu family now?
"Pooh!"

"Did Yu Rou have an affair with your son? Or what? Do you have any evidence? Don't try to smear a perfectly good girl like this."

"Regret it? If you're so capable, why don't your Chu family and the Shen family become in-laws again! Anyway, Shen Zhiyi can't get married, so maybe she'll agree."

It looked like the two were about to fight.

Minister of Works Zhou addressed Chu Zhen, who remained silent in the main seat.

"Lord Chu, we are colleagues, and we'll be seeing each other all the time. Let's return the tokens to each other. It wouldn't be good to ruin things."

"No."

Madam Chu: "My lord, we absolutely cannot agree to this. Why should the Zhou family get away scot-free? If Zhou Yurou chooses another suitable husband in the future, who will marry Liu Lang?"

The Minister of Works said, "Lord Chu, please think this over carefully. Otherwise, this will not be a marriage alliance, but an enmity."

Chu Zhen took a deep breath: "Go and retrieve the token."

"master!"

"I told you to go get it!"

No one knows what happened at night; the pitch-black night seemed capable of swallowing everything.

The Eastern Palace was brightly lit, but the Crown Princess looked gaunt and haggard.

It felt like I could constantly hear a child crying.

She's still so young.

Can I be away from my birth mother for too long?
She was worried about the Chu family, whose members were of questionable character.

The next day.

A gentle breeze swept across the lake, creating soft ripples.

Light filters through layers of leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Yu Tingwan woke up exceptionally late, and upon waking, she habitually reached out to touch the side.

In the past, when she woke up, everything around her was cold, but today she was able to touch someone.

Yu Tingwan opened her sleepy eyes.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't I be out running errands?
Wei Zhao has taken care of everything.

He complained that the dragon robe was being made too slowly.

The dragon robe also needed to be embroidered with gold thread, which was too expensive. So I simply stole one from the palace and hid it in the Duke of Zhou's mansion.

Wei Zhao lowered his head: "Surprised? Who do you want to be lying next to you?"

He pulled her into his arms and gently massaged her slender waist.

Yu Tingwan had just woken up and was still a little dazed.

My mind is slow, and I didn't hear what Wei Zhao was saying.

But she's so quick to talk.

He continued from his previous sentence.

"Your wife is strict, so why are you coming to me?"
