The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 36 You're getting married soon, you should be more mature.
The Wei family's courtyard wasn't large, but it was sufficient.

Hui Niang is capable and knows how to manage a household. The yard was swept clean and tidy. She even cleared a path to make it easier to walk in the snow.

The eastern corner is enclosed by a fence, and five chickens are kept inside.

To the west, near the old house, there are persimmon trees, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.

The branches and leaves have long since fallen, but the persimmons, plump and juicy, still hang on. I reckon they'll be ready to eat soon.

Wei Zhao remained silent for a long time.

He overheard what Yu Tingwan and Li Lian said last time and knew that Yu Tingwan was eager to get married.

But... it's rare to know that someone is in a trap and still jump in.

His face remained pale.

The medicine pot next to me was bubbling away, and the bitter smell of medicine lingered in my nostrils.

Hui Niang's voice came from the kitchen.

It was something I said to Yu Tingwan.

“This morning, Doctor Qian came with his medicine box. He took Alang’s pulse again. He said that Alang’s pulse has been less erratic these past few days, so he changed the prescriptions he usually uses.”

This is a good thing.

Seeing that the porridge was getting cold, she lit the fire again to reheat it.

Hui Niang smiled: "Ah Lang is very cooperative."

When taking a pulse, observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation are all indispensable. In the past, no matter what Old Man Qian said, Wei Zhao would ignore him.

But this morning, when Old Man Qian asked a question, Wei Zhao replied with a single sentence!

such as……

Old Man Qian: "How have you been feeling these past few days?"

How am I? I think about dying every day.

Wei Zhao said calmly, "Okay."

Old Man Qian said suspiciously, "You're talking nonsense, kid. Your pulse tells me it's not good."

Wei Zhao showed no guilt at being exposed. He forced a weak smile and said, "You're asking me because my medical skills are lacking?"

Another example...

Old Man Qian: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

My internal organs felt like they were being violently ripped apart by sharp instruments, causing severe pain. I even coughed up blood several times during the night.

Despite his weak body, Wei Zhao pressed on acupoints without making a sound, forcing out a false pulse: "Very good."

Every sentence received a response, but unfortunately, none of them were honest.

But Hui Niang doesn't know!
While heating the porridge, she also steamed a coarse flour bun. She smiled and said to Yu Tingwan in the courtyard.

"I just hope that one day he will recover completely and we can live happily ever after."

Yu Tingwan looked down at Wei Zhao, who was sitting in a daze.

She showed no embarrassment and gently kicked the tip of Wei Zhao's shoe.

"Did you hear that?"

Wei Zhao frowned and pulled his foot back.

Yu Tingwan didn't mind and casually picked up the prescription on the table to take a look. She didn't understand these things and couldn't figure it out, so she put it back.

Is there anyone who can understand it?

Wei Zhao was often wounded during his military campaigns. So he learned some basic military medicine from the army.

In fact... he is knowledgeable in medical principles.

He can even prescribe his own medicine.

But Wei Zhao did not.

Wei Zhao knew that his body was rapidly decaying.

He let it go, and even looked forward to that day.

Unexpectedly, she ran into the Wei family couple and was taken in, and then Yu Tingwan said she wanted to marry him.

He really couldn't understand.

Wei Zhao asked in a calm voice, "What do you see in me?"

If it were the old him, with his noble status, illustrious achievements, and status as a favorite of the emperor, there would have been no shortage of women wanting to marry him.

But now, what does he have left besides his face?
Unexpectedly, Yu Tingwan remained silent for even longer than he did.

Yu Tingwan felt that he wouldn't want to know.

But the girl was honest, and since Wei Zhao had asked her so openly, it wouldn't be good if she hid anything from him.

They are going to be husband and wife in the future.

Then we should hold nothing back.

"It's true."

Yu Tingwan: "I'm not interested in you."

Wei Zhao heard her soft voice say, "But I've taken a liking to your mother."

Wei Zhao: ...That's a bit outrageous.

Yu Tingwan leaned closer: "Why aren't you saying anything? Even if there's another reason, I'm going to be your wife, so I'll still care about you."

Prefer not to say.

He must have a lot of free time to talk to her about these things.

Wei Zhao raised his hand, brought the boiled medicine to his lips and slowly drank it. The thick brown liquid slid across his tongue, but he seemed unable to perceive the bitterness.

Yu Tingwan was surprised.

"Why do you need to take your medicine?"

She was pleased with this: "That's right. These medicines cost money, and they'll only make you better after you take them. You're getting married now, so you need to be more mature and can't be as willful as before."

Yu Tingwan hopes Wei Zhao can maintain this!

Wei Zhao, however, had droopy eyelids and looked listless: "The newly prescribed medicine contains several herbs that are not suitable for the symptoms and the dosage is too strong. Taking it will worsen the injury."

Yes.

The prescription given by Old Man Qian was based on his guidance throughout the process.

Wei Zhao was very satisfied with this.

Yu Tingwan: ?
She was a little skeptical.

But Old Man Qian's medical skills were indeed not very good.

Previously, Hu Dazhu had caught a cold and took medicine for half a month without improvement, so he finally went to see a doctor in the county.

Yu Tingwan hesitated: "What if it gets worse?"

Wei Zhao stood up, not wanting to talk to Yu Tingwan, and was about to go back to his room.

But he wanted Yu Tingwan to back down and stop bothering him.

The wound on his chest was inflamed and swollen, itching and aching with every step he took. He coughed softly, a metallic taste of blood rising in his throat, the vibrations in his chest making his face contort in pain.

Wei Zhao stopped in front of Yu Tingwan, his face deathly pale, and bright red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. It dripped down, staining the snow crimson.

He smiled and said, "That's it."

The little girl's pupils contracted, and she panicked: "How could this happen?"

"Is there really a problem with the medicine? How did you find out?"

She hurriedly went to help Wei Zhaoxian sit down: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Don't scare me. I'll go find Old Man Qian right now!"

"You absolutely must not get into trouble."

Wei Zhao dodged to the side, creating distance between himself and Yu Tingwan.

He glanced at Yu Tingwan indifferently, his tone completely flat: "You're making a fuss over nothing."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

You're really annoying, you know that?!

If the medicine is good, Wei Zhao doesn't need to drink it.

It's a pity that Old Man Qian doesn't know how to prepare poison for him.

He was dejected, a forced smile playing on his lips, his eyes devoid of any life: "See? I could die at any moment. Why risk the rest of your life?"

Yu Tingwan frowned, then quickly realized.

"this is nothing."

She patiently and gently told him, "Don't worry."

"As long as you live, I am willing to serve you."

She can serve tea and water.

She will do her best.

Having more men in the family, even if they are in poor health and it costs money, at least gives them something to look forward to. Yu Tingwan still didn't want anything to happen to him.

"If you really don't make it through one day, I..."

Under Wei Zhao's deep, dark eyes, Yu Tingwan spoke slowly.

"You can rest assured, I will definitely take good care of your parents on your behalf."

She will not remarry in the future, which can be considered as doing right by Wei Shen.

Wei Zhao:......

He was so angry he laughed.

Yu Tingwan said to herself, "Isn't it good that we live together?"

Wei Zhao said listlessly, "This is not good."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She pursed her lips, looking somewhat unhappy.

But we can't argue with a sickly person.

Yu Tingwan had no choice but to speak to him in a low voice.

"I can pretend I didn't hear it."
