The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 395 She said I don't seem like a good person

The village is located in the suburbs, surrounded by green mountains, deep pine forests, and babbling brooks.

The carriage of the Duke of Shunguo's mansion had just come to a stop when an elderly woman with gray hair, leaning on a cane, strode over.

The old woman was overjoyed: "Why didn't you tell me the general was coming?"

Wei Zhao alighted from the carriage: "How have you been feeling lately?"

"I'm an old woman with bones, it's good that you think of me."

"This is Granny Ma."

Wei Zhao turned around to help Yu Tingwan, who had just leaned halfway out of the carriage: "The fish soup you make is the most delicious."

He rarely did this, which shows that Granny Ma was no ordinary old woman.

After getting out of bed, Yu Tingwan called out softly, "Grandma Ma."

Grandma Ma looked Yu Tingwan up and down.

"Eh."

She happily agreed, took Yu Tingwan's hand, and seemed unable to get enough of looking at her.

"Is she a girl from the Shen family?"

"Look at the question I asked. Besides the Shen family's daughter, who else could the general have brought? There's no mistake."

"Just as the general told me, he is very handsome."

Yu Tingwan was slightly taken aback.

Granny Ma seemed oblivious to her unusual behavior and clasped her hands together again: "Thank God! I told you, General, that you have protected the country for so many years. If you had spoken to that person in the palace, he would have thought that he would have considered the merits of the Wei family over the generations and wouldn't have insisted on bringing Miss Shen into the harem."

"An emperor can have any woman he wants, so he can't just deliberately pick one that the general likes to annoy him."

This is……

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

They mistook Wei Zhao for their uncle, General Jingyuan.

Treat her as Shen Zhiyi's aunt, now the Consort Shen in the palace?

Granny Ma looked very energetic and then glanced behind the two of them.

She frowned: "Your older brother didn't come?"

Wei Zhao's Adam's apple bobbed: "He's busy."

"Yes, yes, how could I forget? The eldest young master is now a duke, and he's always busy with court affairs."

“Gui Zhi is three years old now, right? He was the first child in the Wei family. I saw him when your older brother brought him over. Oh my, the father and son look so alike.”

Wei Zhao listened quietly to her, without rushing to enter the manor.

Granny Ma laughed as she spoke.

She then looked at Yu Tingwan: "Miss Shen, our general is very caring. If you get together with him, he will definitely cherish you and treat you like a treasure."

When are you planning to get married?

"Get married soon, have children soon. The Wei family is still too small."

As she spoke, she reached into her sleeve, as if looking for something.

But I found nothing.

She was a little anxious.

"Miss Shen, please come with me."

She pulled Yu Tingwan and tried to walk inside.

Afraid that she might fall, Yu Tingwan quickly helped her up, saying, "Grandma, walk slowly and watch where you're going."

"I can spare it."

Wei Zhao didn't stop them, and followed behind the two.

Yu Tingwan was pulled into the house by Granny Ma.

This is where Granny Ma lives; the house is very clean.

Granny Ma took the black box out of the bedside table and beckoned Yu Tingwan to sit down beside her.

It opened with a click.

There was a jade pendant inside.

It is translucent throughout, with a delicate texture, exquisite carving, and intricate yet orderly patterns, radiating a faint glow.

Yu Tingwan narrowed her eyes.

She had seen the exact same one.

"The jade was part of the lady's dowry. She was very skillful and carved two jade pendants with it herself." "She gave the other one to the eldest young master's wife on the day of the eldest young master's wedding."

"Before she passed away, my wife entrusted this to me for safekeeping, and told me that I must deliver it to my second daughter-in-law."

Granny Ma looked outside and saw Wei Zhao standing there, whispering instructions to Rong Di.

He whispered to himself.

"The general once took this jade pendant from me. He said he had a girl he liked and would put the jade pendant on her hand as a token when he proposed."

Granny Ma: "But in the end, he didn't get what he wanted."

Granny Ma stuffed it into Yu Tingwan's hand.

"very nice."

"It's clear that Heaven still favors you. It won't separate lovers."

She teased, her expression kind: "Miss Shen, now that you've accepted the jade pendant, you're now a daughter-in-law of the Wei family."

Yu Tingwan lowered her head, holding the jade pendant. It was a very small piece, but it felt heavy in her hand, making it hard to breathe.

Pity.

In the end, the uncle still didn't give the jade pendant to his beloved girl.

Grandma Ma, wanting to show off her culinary skills, quickly went off to stew fish.

Wei Zhao also heard the commotion inside.

I'll be spending the night here.

He first took Yu Tingwan back to the room where they would stay that night. It had obviously been cleaned, and the blankets were all new.

The house isn't big, but it has everything you need.

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment and then put the jade pendant away.

"Grandma Ma, she..."

Wei Zhao put down the bundle he had brought, took her out, and headed towards the back mountain.

Zhuangzi is not like the capital, it is less noisy, but the air is fresh, and the wind blows, making the towering trees rustle.

A person's mind can be at ease and return to tranquility.

"Grandma Ma used to serve my grandmother, and she was as close to her as a sister."

"She also helped raise my father and uncle."

Wei Zhao: "When she was young, her grandmother arranged for her to marry a soldier in the Wei family army, but the soldier died before they could get married."

She never married.

"After my grandmother passed away, her mental health deteriorated. So my father sent her to the estate to recuperate."

"That's good, at least she's not talking about that soldier anymore. The people she cares about are all still alive and well, at least in her eyes."

Yu Tingwan sighed, but didn't ask where Wei Zhao was taking her.

The two continued along the path, which became less smooth.

But she was used to walking on country roads, and even if they were uneven or muddy, Yu Tingwan could walk steadily.

"Did Grandma Ma always mistake her husband for her younger brother-in-law?"

Wei Zhao: "Not exactly."

He lowered his head and smiled: "After winning the first battle on the border, I brought Chi Yu here at full speed to see her, stay overnight, and then join the Wei family army returning to the capital tomorrow."

"I was covered in dust and mud, and hadn't had time to wash up, so I was in a rather disheveled state. But it was so late when I arrived at the village, so I thought I'd go to the kitchen to get something to eat and then find a place to rest for a while. I didn't expect to wake up everyone in the village."

"Then he climbed over the wall and went inside."

"Who would have thought that Granny Ma wasn't asleep. She doesn't recognize people, and she mistook me for a thief, grabbed a broom and chased me out."

Yu Tingwan felt sorry for Wei Zhao after hearing this.

Can……

"What about Chi Yu? Was he beaten up too?"

Wei Zhao: "No."

"He was invited inside by Granny Ma."

Yu Tingwan was confused: "Why?"

Wei Zhao: "Chi Yu was injured at that time. Granny Ma thought that he was a thief, and she could only believe that he was forced to do so by life's hardships, so she felt sorry for him."

Wei Zhao, clad in armor and wielding the Cloud-Piercing Spear, exuded a chilling aura and an overwhelming murderous intent.

Wei Zhao was clearly unwilling to elaborate, looking listless: "She said I don't seem like a good person."
