The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 422 I'm Going to Make a Scene
Time turns.

The day arrived for the night market to be held in the capital.

It was still early, and the streets of Shangjing were bustling and noisy.

Many vendors lined up to enter the city gates, carrying their wares and searching for good stalls. There was no curfew, and even people from outside the capital came to join in the fun, filling inns to capacity.

Yu Tingwan, looking completely bewildered, accepted the neatly stacked pairs of cards, keys, and ledgers from Ning Suchan.

"I think... it's a bit early."

She suddenly felt a little pain.

Ning Suchan: "You try it first."

She first gave a deadline.

"Go ahead and do it with confidence. Even if there are mistakes, I'll take care of them."

"I haven't learned enough, but I still need to put it into practice."

Yu Tingwan accepted it after hearing what she said.

"Mother-in-law, would you like to go out for a stroll today?"

Not surprisingly.

"Don't go."

Yu Tingwan: "Oh, you've dumped all the work on me. I think my mother-in-law must be pretty free."

Ning Suchan: ...

Listen to these words, so sarcastic and insinuating, does it sound like a daughter-in-law saying this to her mother-in-law?
Yu Tingwan picked up one of the keys and shook it gently, making a crisp sound.

"Go out for a walk. Go to a restaurant for tea, or take a stroll in the countryside to relax. Staying at home for too long will make you sick."

Ning Suchan knew she was going out: "I finally have some free time and don't have to see you hanging around under my nose, and you still won't leave me alone even after I'm out the door?"

Yu Tingwan said softly, "So your daughter-in-law has already sent someone to invite the Lady of Zhongyong Marquis over."

That person was on good terms with Ning Suchan.

Ning Suchan: ?

Yu Tingwan said to herself, "The carriage, the attendants, and the Wei family army to protect you two have all been arranged."

Ning Suchan: ? ? ?

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps approached from afar, their sound preceding their presence.

"Su Chan, it's been five or six years since we last went out together! Hearing that you invited me made me feel so warm inside. You even chartered a boat for me to go boating on the lake, which shows that you're not heartless!"

The Lady of Zhongyong Marquis's elegant and luxurious attire is completely out of place.

She looks very approachable, especially now that she's smiling.

Lady Zhongyong noticed that Ning Suchan was no longer as lifeless as before; she looked much more energetic, with a fuller face and a less pointed chin.

I was overjoyed.

"That's good. It's clear that Guizhi is back, and your daughter-in-law is good at taking care of people. You are truly blessed!"

“There’s still a long way to go. The younger generation is very filial, so you should relax a bit. I feel tired just thinking about how you’re always on edge.”

When Yu Tingwan saw the Lady of Zhongyong Marquis looking over, she nodded solemnly.

Yes.

She felt it was all her doing.

Ning Suchan glared at her irritably, but seeing the smile on the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong, she couldn't resist.

Is there good news in the family?

Lady Zhongyong slapped her thigh.

"No!"

"I'm really eager to keep this to myself, and I haven't let anyone outside know! I haven't let anyone out of the house either, but I knew you could figure it out!"

Before they could ask, Lady Zhongyong asked impatiently.

"My rascal came back from out of town a while ago and told me that I, as his mother, have started to take care of his wedding arrangements."

"It's inexplicable. I just thought he was talking nonsense. Before, he never showed any intention of getting married."

"But you know, he's my only son. All those dowry items piled up in the warehouse over the years were prepared for him, and it's quite a lot."

Xiao Huaiyan, however, felt it wasn't enough!
“He added some more, and showed me the list. It was all his savings that he had accumulated over the years.”

Not a lot.

He didn't leave any for himself.

Only then did the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong realize that this was serious.

"With such a grand display, is she perhaps marrying a celestial being?"

She said that, but the smile on her lips grew wider and wider.

“Since he cares so much, I can’t let him down. So, let’s go to a jewelry store later. As his future mother-in-law, I’ll take this opportunity to prepare a gift for our first meeting.”

Yu Tingwan narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything.

Ning Suchan inquired, "Which family's daughter is she?" The Lady of Zhongyong Marquis paused.

silent.

“He’s been leaving early and returning late these past few days, I don’t know what he’s been busy with. He left those few words and then disappeared.”

I just don't know which family it is, that's why... she hasn't announced the good news of her family's pregnancy!

However, she knew the girl's birth date and time.

The wedding date needs to be determined at a temple.

It was Xiao Huaiyan who recited it.

I'm afraid they've been planning this for a long time.

"You'll find out eventually."

"I don't have high requirements. I don't care about family background, as long as she is a good girl."

Since everyone had arrived, Ning Suchan felt it inappropriate to send them back. She went back to her room to change her clothes, and then, urged by the Lady of Zhongyong Marquis, they went out together.

Yu Tingwan escorted them to the door.

As luck would have it, just as the Shaofujian's carriage stopped, Shen Zhiyi stepped out of the carriage.

Lady Zhongyong Hou had just pulled Ning Suchan across the threshold.

Shen Zhiyi looked up, her eyes flashing slightly. She stepped down from the footstool, quickly stepped forward, and curtsied.

"Greetings, ladies."

Ning Suchan remained silent, only nodding her head.

Lady Zhongyong, in high spirits, smiled and said, "I'm so happy about this."

"Miss Shen."

Lady Zhongyong: "I'm afraid it won't be long before my Xiao family has good news. You'll have a drink with us then."

Clearly, she really wanted to announce it to the whole world.

Shen Zhiyi: "...Okay."

Lady Zhongyong turned to ask Yu Tingwan, who was standing to the side.

Take her opinion into consideration.

"Your mother-in-law and I are getting old, while you are young. Young women tend to have similar tastes. Tell me, should the jewelry I buy as a gift be adorned with the finest pearls or rare gemstones?"

Yu Tingwan asked Shen Zhiyi, "What do you think?"

Shen Zhiyi: "...Jadeite."

Yu Tingwan: "She's right."

The wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong secretly made a note of it.

"I don't know what she likes either."

Yu Tingwan: "It's getting hot soon, how about we give you a fan?"

She continued, asking Shen Zhiyi, "What do you think?"

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

Lady Zhongyong: "I know absolutely nothing about fans, though...the ones on the market..."

Yu Tingwan told her, "It doesn't need to be too practical, after all, it's just for show."

She pointed to the ivory fan in Shen Zhiyi's hand; it was exquisite and looked quite heavy.

"Fancy."

Ning Suqian understood. Yu Tingwan was really implying, "Your future daughter-in-law is right here!"
No wonder Shen Zhiyi looked strange for a moment when he invited her for drinks.

However, the wine in the nuptial cup is still wine.

The next moment, Yu Tingwan moved closer to her.

"I like expensive things."

Yu Tingwan: "Mother-in-law."

She tugged at Ning Suchan's sleeve and spoke gently.

"I don't want pearls, jade, or gemstones for the headdress; I want pure gold."

"I'm not afraid of the weight when I wear it."

Ning Suchan: ? ? ?

"I didn't say I'd buy it for you."

Yu Tingwan was hurt: "Look at the Lady of Zhongyong Marquis, and then look at you. You're both mothers-in-law, so why is there such a big difference?"

Yu Tingwan said quietly, "I'm going to make a scene."

Ning Suchan: ...

We'll bring you the entire gold shop, is that enough?
