The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 379 You want me to teach you a lesson, huh?
As dusk fell, crowds surged outside the Second Prince's residence.

The tightly closed vermilion gate opened, and Ying Zhi stepped out. His gaze swept around the room, ignoring the two纨绔 (playboys) who were not worth his time, before landing on He Xuran.

"The Zhou family's treason case has troubled you these past few days."

He Xuran bowed respectfully and said, "I receive the salary from the court, which is my duty, and there is no question of hardship in it."

Ning Yunling rolled her eyes; she had the utmost contempt for Ying Zhi's pretentious and affected manner.

The housekeeper served the steamed pork with rice flour.

Fu Meng, who was squatting, glanced at it and seemed satisfied. He then arrogantly raised his paw pads upwards.

Seeing this, the butler quickly put it on the shelf and prepared to leave.

Fu Meng: ? ? ?
It glared with its tiger eyes, feeling offended, and roared fiercely.

"Roar!"

The butler turned pale with fright: "This...this..."

Ning Yunling: "What is this?"

"It washes its hands before eating; its paws were so dirty from digging just now. Can't you see?"

"Hurry up and fetch some water, and prepare another pair of chopsticks."

"Yingzhi, if you want to starve it, just say so. Why play games with it?"

Fu Meng: !! That's right!
Ying Zhi: ...

He remained silent for a moment, suppressing his anger towards Ning Yunling.

"Fu Meng can still use chopsticks?"

Ning Yunling: "No."

"A sense of ritual is necessary."

"It has always been raised as a human."

Fu Meng nodded reservedly.

It's very clean!
What could Ying Zhi say? He glanced at the butler, who understood and quickly went to prepare.

Suddenly, a person appeared in the crowd, dressed in thick clothes and carrying a hand warmer. He looked sickly and had a gloomy look in his eyes.

Perhaps sensing the unfriendly gaze, Ying Zhi looked up and met Ying Fuyan's eyes.

Ying Zhi knew that this was Ying Yin's advisor, who had repeatedly thwarted his plans.

He frowned.

"What are you doing here, Advisor Jia?"

Could it be that Ying Yin sent this person to deliberately stir up trouble here?

Ying Fuyan, who was pointed at, neither dodged nor avoided.

"Second Prince, you may not know, but I live right next door to you."

He casually gestured for Ying Yin to look at the Jia family mansion, whose plaque had only been hung up a few days ago.

Ying Fuyan seemed embarrassed: "It was bought for me by the Fifth Prince. I came out to see what was going on when I heard a noise outside."

Ying Zhi: ?

What is Ying Yin planning to do? Monitor him?
Xiao Huaiyan narrowed his eyes and casually said, "This house must be expensive."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yunling, who was standing beside him, seemed to have a breakthrough: "Ying Zhi!"

"You should learn from Ying Yin!"

"There is a reason why the Emperor values ​​him more than you."

"He's so good at handling things! He's so generous to his subordinates. Look at you, who's as stingy as you?"

Ying Zhi's face turned ashen: "I won't argue with you."

"Hey! People from the Duke of Shun's mansion have arrived."

I don't know who said it.

The crowd quickly parted to make way.

Yu Tingwan walked forward slowly, passing Ying Fuyan who was wrapped up tightly, without glancing to the side or slowing down.

As she approached, she curtsied to Yingzhi.

"Upon learning that Fu Meng had offended the Second Prince, I dared not delay and rushed here immediately."

Ying Zhi was surprised to find that it was Yu Tingwan who came.

Women.

What use are women besides managing the household, bearing children, and serving men?

but……

It's easier to fool Wei Zhao's right-hand men than to have them come.

He smiled slightly: "No need for formalities. Nothing really happened, so I won't hold it against you. This matter need not be mentioned again in the future, and I will not allow officials in the court to impeach me for lax discipline."

"only……"

"There are a lot of people on this street."

He feigned helplessness: "If I hurt someone, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself properly."

He seemed easy to talk to, but he immediately gave Yu Tingwan a hard time.

Anyone else would have assumed Ying Zhi was a good person and, while expressing gratitude, would have apologized. He's quite eloquent.

Yu Tingwan: "The Second Prince is right."

"This humble woman knows little and does not know how it was handled before. If the officials impeach him, it is Fu Meng's own fault. I suppose my husband will handle it if anything happens. Second Prince, you don't need to worry. You should personally go to his door and ask those ministers to let Fu Meng off the hook for your sake."

She turned her head and asked, "Has anything similar happened before?"

Tan Jiang: "Fu Meng has caused quite a few troubles before, but none of them were anything serious, so no officials impeached him."

"It's strange, we haven't seen Fu Meng hit anyone before."

Yu Tingwan said quietly, "I see."

"That's unfortunate."

She took a step towards the tiger's east and west.

Fu Meng was still waiting for the butler to come out. Its tiger eyes glanced at Yu Tingwan, and it thought for a moment. When she approached, it maliciously tried to wipe its paws with the hem of Yu Tingwan's skirt.

Just as it stretched out its evil claws, Yu Tingwan quickly grabbed its head and held it firmly.

Yu Tingwan: "What happened?"

Want you to take care of it?
Fu Meng was about to scoff.

Yu Tingwan scolded, "Do you want to be punished again?"

Fu Meng remained dismissive.

Yu Tingwan stopped scolding him.

She rubbed the tiger's head vigorously, becoming gentle.

"You want me to teach you a lesson, don't you?"

Fu Meng rolled his eyes.

See what you can.

Threatening!
Then it heard a sentence.

“I can stop Wei Zhao from dealing with you if I feel like it. But tell me, if I wanted to deal with you, would he interfere?”

Fu Meng: ...

She helped Tiger conclude: "No."

"very good."

She said quietly, "You're finished."

Yu Tingwan smiled: "Are your eyes just for show? Of all people to offend, why did you have to offend a royal heir? The Second Prince has difficulty walking. What if you accidentally injure his other leg as well?"

Ying Zhi: ? ? ?
As expected of someone from the countryside, so bad at speaking!

"what?"

Yu Tingwan pinched the tiger's ears: "What do you want to say?"

Fu Meng: ...

It...didn't intend to open its mouth.

Yu Tingwan: "Did you hurt yourself too? Where? Let me see?"

pain?
Fu Meng was indeed in some pain.

After all, they overturned the carriage.

Fu Meng hesitated for a moment, then raised his paw and nodded his head.

Yu Tingwan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all swollen, and it almost bled. We need to go back and apply medicine and bandage it. That explains why you seemed a bit unwell and weak; it turns out you were injured."

Fu Meng: ?

what!
Is it swollen?

He's about to bleed!
Fu Meng, who was usually lively and energetic and could have easily crashed into ten more carriages, suddenly fell into trouble.

Especially after Yu Tingwan said that, it felt a terrible headache!
It looks like it's about to explode.

It was enraged and let out a painful howl at Ying Zhi.

"Roar!"

Why are horse-drawn carriages so sturdy?!

Yu Tingwan pressed its head down and pulled it into her arms.

Ning Yunling jumped out: "I told you Ying Zhi deliberately bumped into it!"

Ying Zhi's face turned cold, and he was about to speak when someone beat him to it.

Yu Tingwan was incredulous, as if she had heard something extraordinary: "This... really? You can't just say things like that."

She seemed to have been shocked.

"This……"

"This humble woman doesn't understand those convoluted rules."

The girl feigned innocence: "But I'm really dizzy."

"Could it be that, as Yunling said, there's a hidden story behind this, and that you, Second Prince, did it on purpose..."

She was astonished. But as if afraid of offending him, she stopped herself from speaking.
