The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

After watching the person walk away, Shen Zhiyi called Yu Tingwan to go out.

Yu Tingwan had nothing else to bring, so she didn't need to fix her makeup. She went down the steps and prepared to get into the Shaofujian's carriage.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I changed my mind and agreed to Xiao Huaiyan's request?"

Shen Zhiyi's voice was right next to my ear.

Not long ago, they went to the palace together to see Shen Jin, so Yu Tingwan could guess some things.

There could be unexpected events, but she didn't expect Shen Zhiyi to be so decisive.

“You are a person with your own ideas. Although you have your aunt’s protection, she is far away in the palace and cannot help you in the present. I’m afraid she is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the Shen family’s inner quarters. Your mother is weak. If it weren’t for you, she would probably have been devoured by the favored concubine long ago.”

"It's a life-long matter. Even in a fit of anger, you wouldn't lose your mind and ruin yourself. It seems you've thought this through carefully, and you're not acting on impulse."

"If that's the case, why should I, an outsider, interfere?"

She is always rational and clear-headed. Yet, many times, she chooses to be confused.

If it were anyone else, she would absolutely not bother saying these words.

But what Shen Zhiyi said...

Yu Tingwan then added, "However, I must remind you of something."

If it weren't for Yu Tingwan, Shen Zhiyi wouldn't have wanted to listen to others' lectures.

But now.

Although she had more experience than Yu Tingwan, she was often far less insightful than Yu Tingwan.

Shen Zhiyi humbly replied, "Tell me, I'll remember."

Yu Tingwan opened her mouth, but then fell silent.

"Say it!"

Yu Tingwan: "Never mind, let Xiao Huaiyan talk to you about it."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Shen Zhiyi was quite puzzled when this person was mentioned.

I don't know what he was busy with. That day, in front of her father, he said he wanted to marry her. Afterwards, he wanted to say something to her, but his confidant hurriedly asked him to leave.

She only left behind a brief message: "Rest assured and await your marriage."

There has been no sign of them for days.

Shen Zhiyi was worried that Xiao Huaiyan was going to stand her up.

Judging from the way the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong acted, he seemed to value this marriage very much.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed as someone rode in on horseback.

"Shut up!"

Pulling on the reins, the horse neighed, its front hooves raised high, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A man with thick, sword-like eyebrows, a high, straight nose, and sharply defined features, with a silver-embroidered cloak fluttering in the wind, jumped off his horse.

He looked up at the plaque above the gate of the Duke of Shun's mansion.

His gaze shifted, and a smile bloomed on his lips. He strode towards Yu Tingwan.

"Is your wife getting ready to go out?"

Yu Tingwan had half her body inside the Shaofujian carriage when she heard the noise, so she crawled out again.

She recognized the man and remained indifferent.

"you are?"

The man smiled and said, "General Wei and I have a deep friendship that has been through thick and thin. I just happened to be passing by and wanted to pay him a visit."

Yu Tingwan: "Oh."

She asked.

"and then?"

She didn't seem to have a very good temper either: "You're not visiting me, so what are you talking to me about? Do you expect me to entertain you?"

Liang Rui, the third prince of Liang Yue: ? ? ?

"I can not get in."

Yu Tingwan: "Where's the visiting card?"

Yu Tingwan: "Oh, no."

"Then we'll wait for the notification. If my husband wants to see you, the guards will let you through."

After saying that, she got back into the carriage.

He said to the coachman outside, "Let's go."

The wheels rolled, and the carriage traveled a long way.

Shen Zhiyi: "Who is it? Who told you to speak so rudely?"

It shouldn't be.

Guests are always welcome!

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyes, her expression indifferent: "If I'm not mistaken, it's the Third Prince of Liang Yue."

Shen Zhiyi: ?! ?

She stood there in a daze.

The next instant, he almost jumped up. "Who!"

Yu Tingwan didn't understand why people were making such a fuss: "They came with ill intentions."

Shen Zhiyi wanted to ask Yu Tingwan how she dared to have that attitude just now.

But thinking of Yu Tingwan's shameless behavior towards the Duchess of Shunguo just now, she felt that whatever Yu Tingwan did was... normal.

Yu Tingwan: "Why do you think he should be so proper and go in through the main gate?"

"why?"

Yu Tingwan: "The guards at the Duke of Shun's mansion are too tight. If he were to force his way in, it would inevitably lead to a major conflict. However, he arrived quietly and will not expose his whereabouts in a conspicuous manner."

And as long as she gives the word, she can go straight in.

That's why I came over to say hello.

"No wonder..."

Shen Zhiyi realized what she meant after being reminded by her.

"No wonder, he recognized you at a glance."

Why call me "sister-in-law"?

Or perhaps they had seen Yu Tingwan's portrait beforehand and were familiar with the people in the Duke of Shun's mansion.

Either they had met Princess Jiashan.

and many more.

Shen Zhiyi: "Isn't he afraid of never coming back?"

What kind of life-or-death bond is this? Bah!

It's a bond forged on the battlefield, a bond forged through life and death!
Yu Tingwan said softly, "My husband is weak, how can I possibly do anything to him?"

Shen Zhiyi's face fell: "That's true."

Wei Zhao is finished.

"How can you be so comfortable letting me go out with you?"

Yu Tingwan had a good reason: "I'm just a woman, I shouldn't cause him any trouble."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Something feels off.

but.

Over here, Liang Rui waited patiently for the message to be sent.

It was half an incense stick later when he was finally able to enter.

Rong Di led the way.

Liang Rui remained completely calm, even taking the time to look around until he entered the reception room.

He didn't smell any medicine at all.

I met Wei Zhao, the one who, according to rumors, needed a wheelchair to walk.

Instead of using a wheelchair, he knelt down and brewed tea with fluid, effortless movements.

"Brother Wei."

Liang Rui feigned concern and stepped forward: "Last time I saw with my own eyes that your deputy general Chi Yu put you in a coffin, how come you've come back to life?"

He was so disappointed.

but……

next moment.

"Your wife is truly fierce."

Liang Rui sat down directly opposite him: "Just now, it seemed like if I said anything more, she could have pointed her finger at my face."

"If you are willing to join my Liangyue, every woman there is as gentle as water."

Wei Zhao remained calm and composed: "Now that you see I'm truly alive, when do you plan to leave?"

"Walk for what?"

"Since we've come all this way, we'll stay for a few days."

Liang Rui noticed that Wei Zhao's complexion wasn't good, but his speech and tea-making didn't seem like that of someone terminally ill.

Especially when her gaze fixed on him, even though she hadn't done anything, the overwhelming sense of oppression remained the same.

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Liang Rui's smile vanished: "Wei Zhao, is it worth it for your Wei family to serve the Ying family for generations?"

"I inquired before I came; your father's death is related to your emperor. How can such an unpredictable emperor be worthy of your loyalty?"

Wei Zhao said calmly, "You dare to come all the way to the capital, all alone? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Liang Rui said hypocritically, "As long as you're alive, nothing will happen to me."

“If this matter were to reach the Emperor’s ears, I’m afraid you, Wei Zhao, would be unable to explain yourself, and the Wei family would become the second Prince Yan’s family to be accused of treason.”

Isn't that just trying to find fault with Emperor Yingqian?
“If something happens to me, Liang Yue will be in chaos. You won’t fare much better, will you? Your father is dead, and your mother, and your newlywed wife, can’t follow in his footsteps.”
