The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Seeing the exquisite craftsmanship of the lanterns in front, Yu Tingwan went over and asked for one, carrying it in her hand just like the other women and girls around her.

At this hour, one would normally have already bathed and prepared to rest.

But she was in the middle of a great time. Her eyes crinkled as she looked at Wei Zhao, who was paying, and something seemed to come to mind.

When she was learning to manage a household, Ning Suchan gave her three shops to practice in. The shops didn't do well, and she said that if they lost money, it would be her responsibility, and if they made a profit, it would be considered as compensation for Yu Tingwan's hard work in running them.

After Yu Tingwan took over the three shops, she checked the accounts yesterday and found that she had made a profit of eighty taels.

This is money she earned through hard work.

Although it couldn't buy the jewelry she was wearing, how many families in the countryside could afford to pay eighty taels in one go?
Yu Tingwan was extremely satisfied.

She enjoyed spending money on men, glancing sideways at them: "Whatever my husband wants, I'll buy it for you."

Under Yu Tingwan's intense gaze, Wei Zhao selected several small ceramic and bamboo carvings.

It can be placed in the study.

The two stopped again in front of a sugar figurine stall.

The vendor, seeing the two women's distinguished bearing, especially Yu Tingwan's mask adorned with gold thread and inlaid pearls—certainly not some cheap knock-off—saw them and quickly stood up to greet them with a smile.

"Young master, would you like to give this to the lady..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Wei Zhao looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "Pay up."

Yu Tingwan: "Mmm!"

Without hesitation, she took her wallet off her waist.

The kind that's really bulging.

Even at this moment, she didn't forget to continue whispering sweet nothings.

"I've already promised you. Whatever you like, I'm willing to pay for it."

"Buy more, don't try to save me any!"

"Choose the more expensive ones!"

"Even the stalls on this street, if you like them, I won't blink, I'm happy!"

She waved her hand dismissively: "The money I earn is for you to spend!"

Wei Zhao:......

He's been so busy these days that he hasn't even had time to spend with Yu Tingwan, but people come to report on her affairs every day.

laugh.

That's quite a boast; eighty taels of silver is presented as if it were eighty thousand taels of gold.

Vendor: ???
Although this man was wearing a mask, his overall demeanor made him clearly no ordinary person; he was actually a pretty boy!

Wei Zhao picked out the sugar figurine shaped like a begonia flower.

He put it in his mouth and took a bite.

She frowned slightly.

It is too sweet.

But before, when he took medicine, Yu Tingwan would always put candy in his mouth, which he could accept.

Yu Tingwan: "Is it delicious?"

Wei Zhao opened his mouth, about to speak.

Yu Tingwan: "I've been so good to you, it must have warmed your heart, right?"

Under the disdainful and contemptuous gazes of the vendors, Wei Zhao forced a smile.

"I don't think that's enough?"

Yu Tingwan: ?

What, do you want me to rip my heart out?
She was about to say that Wei Zhao was clueless about romance.

Wei Zhao: "If you break up with your husband who's always away from home, at least make sure you don't make me feel ashamed."

Yu Tingwan: ?

Vendor: ???
Wei Zhao: "It's not easy to go out with you, but you're worried about being recognized by others, so you insist that I wear a mask."

Wei Zhao: "You hurt me."

Vendor: ? ! !
Damn it, how dare a vixen say such a thing!
With hands and feet, there are so many good things to do!
That's despicable!
Yu Tingwan, who was dragged into the mess, remained expressionless.

"Oh."

Feeling down? Keep it to yourself.

She was really cold and ruthless, not like the wealthy lady who was willing to sell so much for him just a moment ago!

Yu Tingwan blinked: "You need to be clear about your identity."

The man said quietly, "But I don't want to."

The vendor couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you going to buy it or not?"

Yu Tingwan counted the copper coins, speaking gently: "Don't rush me, I'm just giving a lecture."

The vendor raised the price on the spot: "Not enough, I want six taels of silver."

Yu Tingwan was stunned: "Didn't you just say six coins? Are you trying to scam me?"

The vendor, hands on hips, said, "I'm just trying to scam you, so what!"

"You adulterous couple!"

How can someone who has done such a disgraceful thing have the nerve to parade around in public like that!
If that pretty boy hadn't taken a bite, he wouldn't have even considered selling it!
They even flirted and teased each other in front of him!
The vendors all wanted to point their fingers at them and yell at them for being shameless!
Yu Tingwan is completely innocent.

"that……"

Wei Zhao: "He looks down on us." He kept rolling his eyes at them.

Yu Tingwan: ...

understand.

Wei Zhao really does act like a courtesan.

"It's just six taels, isn't it?"

He murmured from the side, "Why are you so reluctant to spend money on me? You said you'd spend it without batting an eye if I wanted it."

Yu Tingwan: "But..."

"Don't try to save money for you."

Yu Tingwan: ...

"Oh."

Wei Zhao said slowly, "So it was all just to fool me."

"Or have you found someone new behind my back?"

Under the increasingly disdainful gazes of the vendors, Yu Tingwan was speechless with grievances.

Forget it.

Anyway, there's a mask.

She is not afraid of losing face.

"Don't be too dramatic! I'm only with you for fun, don't take it seriously. I'm willing to spend money on you, so if you're smart, take this opportunity to make some money."

Wei Zhao looked down at the little gadget in his arms.

The total is less than three ounces.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud; the gloom he felt earlier because of Zhou Yurou had dissipated, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"What are you laughing at!"

"You need to be aware of the potential crisis!"

Yu Tingwan told him, "You have to find a way to please me, after all, the only relationship between us is money."

"If one day I get tired of you and don't want you anymore, and want to live a good life with my husband whom I have properly married, you won't know where to cry."

Yu Tingwan punched Wei Zhao lightly: "Did you hear that?"

It happened to be the injured arm.

She was really strong.

Caught off guard, Wei Zhao let out a muffled groan.

Yu Tingwan sensed something was wrong, and her eyelids twitched.

"what happened to you?"

Yu Tingwan stared intently at him, her smile vanishing completely.

"You'd better not tell me you're injured."

Keep it from her.

They strolled through the night market as if nothing had happened.

With so many people, it's inevitable that they'll bump into each other.

What angered Yu Tingwan the most was Wei Zhao's disregard for his health. Especially since Wei Zhao had previously tried all sorts of crazy things to ignore medical advice and even sought death!
"You should know how I'm going to deal with you."

Wei Zhao knew all too well.

If he was injured, Yu Tingwan would feel sorry for him.

But he wanted to test the strength of those shadowy figures without getting hurt.

He'll only make things worse for himself.

Wei Zhao's eyes twitched.

well.

Yu Tingwan knew everything, so she threw down six coins and said, "Go back!"

The vendors watched helplessly as the noblewoman stormed off in anger.

The pretty boy stayed where he was, first letting out a desperate sigh before chasing after them.

He tentatively tugged at Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan angrily shook him off.

The vendor watched the two leave.

My God, being a mistress, especially one who can't be seen in the light of day, is so humiliating.

I wonder how much money that woman gives him each month, making that vixen so jealous.

When women become ruthless, they can be just as ruthless as men.

His gaze fell on the six coins.

He was torn between sympathizing with her husband and with the man who had given his body only to be abandoned at any moment.

In the end, I felt sorry for myself.

They seem very wealthy and powerful.

"She's so stingy!!"
