The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Just then, a maidservant announced from outside.

"Master, Mistress, Concubine Zhuang requests an audience."

The old woman's face darkened.

As long as the Second Prince is with the Madam, Concubine Zhuang will find all sorts of ways to vie for his favor. Only the Madam doesn't mind, and even treats Concubine Zhuang very well, hoping that she can seduce him away.

really.

Yao Ru was exceptionally generous: "She's pregnant, please come in quickly."

The maidservant invited Aunt Zhuang inside.

Aunt Zhuang wore a pink satin skirt embroidered with flowers and butterflies, her hair adorned with pearls and jade, and her eyes were full of charm.

Despite being only three months pregnant, she deliberately sticks out her belly and enters with an arrogant air.

The maids and others went inside, and couldn't help but spit.

"Fox-like appearance, ptooey!"

Ying Zhi saw Aunt Zhuang enter and asked, "Why have you come?"

"When I learned that you had been offended, I was very worried and anxious."

When Aunt Zhuang saw Ying Zhi sitting there unharmed, she quickly put her hands together and said, "Thank God you're alright."

She wiped away her tears again: "What else can we do?"

Ying Zhi's expression softened.

Clearly, he falls for that.

"So you do remember me."

Aunt Zhuang's tone was particularly exaggerated: "Oh my, you are my everything! You are the person I hold dearest in my heart! How could I not miss you?"

Yu Tingwan, who had just arrived and also wanted to secretly check on Yao Ru's situation: ...

She felt disgusted as soon as she sat down on the roof.

but……

She memorized it word for word.

Next time you want to say something sweet, say that Wei Zhao is her everything.

Yu Tingwan thought that Wei Zhao must be incredibly moved!

Ying Zhi, unaware that he was being spied on, took a sip of tea and said meaningfully, "Madam Yao, since I entered, you have never asked me if I was unwell."

Yao Ru: ...

Good people don't live long, but evil ones live a thousand years. How could Ying Zhi have gotten into trouble?

Even if something happens, she can still raise her son well with the savings she has accumulated over the years.

Yao Ru raised her eyes and stood up after the servants had served all the food to the table.

"Is Aunt Zhuang ready for a meal? Why don't you eat here with me?"

She showed no intention of waiting for Aunt Zhuang's reply and directly instructed the servant, "Go and add another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Aunt Zhuang then seemed to remember something and curtsied to Yao Rufu.

"Look at me, I'm so busy caring for you, I've forgotten to greet you, Mistress."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

"Please don't think I eat too much, Mistress. Now that I'm pregnant, my appetite is better than before."

Yao Ru remained unmoved.

She didn't care at all about what Aunt Zhuang said, nor did she care about Ying Zhi's flirtatious glances in front of her.

"Master."

The butler rushed in to report.

"The white tiger pounded on the door and even dug a big pit in front of our door in its haste."

"The people below didn't know what to do, so this old servant mustered up the courage to open a crack and saw that the tiger had written a word on the ground."

Ying Zhi tried to remain calm: "What word?"

"Hungry."

Yu Tingwan was very pleased.

Tiger never shortchanges himself when he's out and about.

"It's making a fuss about wanting to eat steamed pork with rice flour."

This was certainly not written by Fu Meng.

He is educated, but not much.

It was translated by Qingya!

Aunt Zhuang, however, was disgusted: "A beast is still a beast, how could it be so lawless?"

"If I were the boss, I would have taught it a lesson long ago. How dare it be so arrogant? It even has the nerve to ask for food?"

Ying Zhi sneered and slammed his teacup down: "Do you even have the right to speak?"

"Don't you even know who raised it?"

People from the Duke of Shun's mansion will be arriving soon. He can't lash out yet; he has to treat them well and use today's events to make Wei Zhao owe him a favor.

Although he was also annoyed.

It would be foolish not to seize an opportunity presented to him.

Aunt Zhuang realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

Ying Zhi pressed his aching temples and said, "If it wants it, then you should give it to it."

Why should I let him make the decision about such a small matter?
"Can……"

The housekeeper said sheepishly, "Making steamed pork with rice flour is the most time-consuming part; just marinating it takes almost half an hour."

"It doesn't want to wait. If it's just a perfunctory job and the food isn't good, it might cause trouble again." Yu Tingwan: ...

She has quite a good appetite.

The steward wiped the sweat from his brow and lowered his head: "Only the mistress ordered this dish today, so this old servant had no choice but to shamelessly come and ask."

Yao Ru didn't react much, and glanced at the old woman.

The old woman picked up the steamed pork from the dining table and brought it over.

The steward repeatedly said, "Thank you for the reward, Madam."

"Master!"

A servant boy came running over.

"Someone is coming."

Yu Tingwan: ?
She looked at Tan Jiang.

Discovered?

Ying Zhi, who was inside the room, stood up.

He knew Wei Zhao was in poor health and wouldn't usually show his face, but he cared about that beast and would send his men over.

Whether it's Chi Yu or Rong Di.

They can make the decisions.

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes as he walked out, saying, "They arrived faster than I expected."

"Who's coming?"

Servant: "Young Master Xiao."

Ying Zhi: ? ? ?
"What is he here for?"

Is it his place to concern himself with the Wei family's affairs?

You're just causing trouble!

Considering Xiao Huaiyan's usual tendency to stir up trouble, Ying Zhi didn't want to have him kicked out.

He strode outside.

The servant hurriedly caught up and whispered, "As soon as Young Master Xiao arrived, he scolded the white tiger for being too unruly."

"Young Master Xiao declared that he has come to stand up for you, Master."

Yingzhi... doesn't quite believe it.

They had only taken a few steps.

Then another servant hurried over.

"Sir, another person has arrived."

Without Yingzhi even asking, the servant said.

"Prince Ning has arrived."

The servant kept his head down, afraid that Yingzhi would blame him.

"The young master Ning had just jumped off his horse when he started shouting loudly... shouting that you should leave."

The servant cautiously glanced at Ying Zhi, observing his expression.

"He also said..."

Ying Zhi: "Speak!"

The servant imitated Ning Yunling's tone and repeated it word for word.

"—Fu Meng, are you alright? I was having dinner at the restaurant just now when I heard that the Second Prince hit you with his carriage?"

"You are my precious treasure, and I can't afford to let anything happen to you."

Ying Zhi: ? ? ?
So you can call black white?

Who hit whom?!

He was truly appalled by Ning Yunling's shamelessness.

Yingzhi began to feel uneasy and quickened his pace.

But after walking only a few steps, another servant came running up.

Ying Zhi: ...

"Sir, Imperial Censor He happened to pass by on his way back from his business."

"The Imperial Censor advises Fu Meng to leave quickly and not to cause trouble."

Finally, someone who can discuss right and wrong has arrived.

Ying Zhigang was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The white tiger refused, but when Lord He learned that it wanted compensation, he paid for it out of his own pocket."

Is Ke Fumeng a tiger who only cares about money?
It has always known that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor.

"It refuses to accept it."

"Lord He then instructed me to quickly deliver a message that he would have this pit filled later. He told you not to bother with a tiger. It doesn't understand human relationships, but it has rendered meritorious service on the battlefield. Just give it the money and send it away. Why are you being so stingy and delaying?"

"They also want us to send the food out quickly."

“Once this is all over, he’s willing to help send the tiger back.”

Ying Zhi, who shot himself in the foot: ...

Row.

His plan to see his niece had backfired spectacularly.

Each and every one of them is truly wonderful!
