The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

"Liang Rui, show some respect. If you say anything more inappropriate, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Liang Rui smiled.

"What are you angry about?"

He leaned back: "Otherwise, why would I turn to you instead of cooperating with Ying Yin?"

"The Emperor of Great Jin is not one to die easily. Your lame leg is the most fatal injury. You got into this situation to save him, but look at him, does he even care about you?"

“He was rescued during this fire, which shows that he was protected by someone. If you hadn’t intervened back then, he wouldn’t have gotten into trouble.”

"Look at you, you clown. Which emperor has any flaws? Unless you can silence the voices of the officials and the people of the Great Jin, you are destined to never have that throne. And how old is your legitimate son?"

What will happen when he grows up?
Let's not talk about Ying Yin.

“No matter how capable you are, you should know that in a few years, once you agree to marry the daughter of Minister Yang, you will be even less capable than him.”

"You are the one who can't afford to wait the most."

“Liang Yue has developed quite well over the years, but my brothers are eyeing it covetously, and the army at my disposal is limited. With some adjustments, they could attack at any time. Now, Wei Zhao is crippled, and the Wei family army has also disbanded. But the Marquis of Zhongyong is not to be underestimated either. If you are willing to help, the outcome will be uncertain.”

He smiled and said, "My father is seriously ill, so I need to achieve something. I don't want the cities of your Great Jin, I want Wei Zhao's dog head. I want to present his head to my father as a sacrifice to the good general of Liang Yue who was killed by him!"

"I heard that your father-in-law, the Minister of Justice, doesn't support you; he's a henchman of the Fifth Prince."

“You need my help, Liang Yue, but Ying Zhi, you should know that you are not my only choice.”

As he spoke, he stood up.

She walked to the opposite side and sat on the table. She pinched Ying Zhi's chin, lifting it slightly so that he would look directly at her.

"You're already past your prime, you're in bad shape in bed and have a bunch of other problems, you can't realize your ambitions, you're pathetic. If you want to achieve something, you have to be ruthless with yourself."

"I won't be staying in the capital for too long, so I can't give you much time to consider."

Ying Zhi slapped it away in anger.

"presumptuous!"

Liang Rui: "Interesting."

"I love forcing good women into prostitution."

He laid his cards on the table, speaking frankly and clearly: "Many people were unwilling to submit to me at first, but one by one I managed to win them over. What kind of stubborn person are you?"

"It's just a transaction, each getting what they need. I'm satisfied, and you're happy too. Isn't that good?"

Ying Zhi's face turned red with anger.

"roll!"

Yu Tingwan: ...

She was so shocked that she forgot to eat.

She was still in shock when she boarded the carriage to return home.

what.

This Liang Rui is clearly working for Wei Zhao, but he pretends to be on good terms with Ying Zhi. Now, he's resorting to such underhanded tactics to get his hands on Ying Zhi.

Ying Zhi might end up losing his virginity and getting nothing in return.

Do you think... Liang Rui can succeed?

Wei Zhao:......

He said tactfully, "Ying Zhi has always been ruthless in his methods."

"If he hadn't been crippled back then, his frustration and irritability would have led him to give up on himself for many years. I'm afraid Ying Yin wouldn't be as good as him."

Ying Zhi was the person most like Emperor Ying Qian.

To achieve their goals, they'll use any means necessary.

Oh.

Yu Tingwan understood.

If you can't figure things out now, you'll figure them out someday.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the following days, Yu Tingwan took over two more shops.

Nothing serious happened.

But Yu Tingwan knew that, under the dual torment of poisoning and witchcraft, Emperor Yingqian's headaches had worsened. The imperial physicians, however, were unable to diagnose the problem.

Many court officials searched far and wide for skilled folk doctors to bring to the palace, but to no avail.

Yu Tingwan didn't pay much attention to this matter or the undercurrents.

She ate and drank as usual. Six days later, she dressed up for once and went out.

This was the day the Marquis of Zhongyong's family went to the Director of the Imperial Household Department to propose marriage.

Many important people rushed to the Shen family.

Mr. Shen stood at the door to greet the guests, his smile never fading.

Even though Shen Zhiyi has been very annoying lately, he has never been so glamorous.

Xiao Huaiyan was a playboy and not a suitable son-in-law, but his father held military power.

I heard that Wei Zhao was invited to accompany them during the betrothal ceremony. The general is unwell, yet he insisted on making this trip; this is truly an honor!

The general's wife was on good terms with Zhiyi, so much so that even Princess Jiashan came! Not to mention, the Empress Dowager also sent a gift. What other family's wedding has such a grand affair!
Mr. Shen was triumphant.

Many of the people who came to witness the ceremony today were people he had tried to be attentive to in the past, but who had always looked down on him and ignored him.

He instructed Madam Shen beside him, "Is Yi'er dressed up yet? Go and check on her quickly. Her special day can't be ruined. And don't offend our distinguished guest."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around.

“You are the legal mother. After Yi’er’s marriage is arranged, it’s time to find suitable matches for the other daughters in the family.”

"Many ladies have come today, so please pay attention to their needs."

Madam Shen is now more confident and no longer as subservient as before.

"Master is joking. There is no need for me. My two illegitimate daughters have already dressed up in their finest attire and are making a fool of themselves in the garden where guests will pass by."

"you!"

"Wasn't it with the master's tacit approval?"

Madam Shen: "Does Master not know Yi-jie's temper? If she is not happy, those two wretches will take advantage of her good fortune and cause a scene that will be impossible to handle. You will be the one who suffers the consequences."

Yu Tingwan arrived at this time.

She didn't have a big entourage, but her family insisted on coming along.

She got off the carriage, and didn't forget to poke the tiger's head with her hand.

"It's agreed that no trouble is allowed at the wedding banquet."

Fu Meng nodded the tiger's head with an air of noble aloofness.

It's very reasonable.

The man and the tiger walked forward.

Mr. Shen was both surprised and frightened, fearing that they had come to cause trouble. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, it is an honor to have you here. Please come in."

Yu Tingwan ignored her and walked forward. When she passed Madam Shen, she stopped and smiled.

"Please trouble you, Madam, to have a servant in the house lead the way. I'm going to see Zhiyi."

Madam Shen was flattered and quickly gestured for them to go: "I'll lead you there, Madam. Please watch your step."

While passing through the garden, the usually polite Fu Meng started causing trouble.

He suddenly darted out.

Yu Tingwan frowned.

Madam Shen: "I apologize for disturbing you, Madam."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

No, no, no, it was the tiger that disturbed your guest.

The girl on the swing turned pale and screamed repeatedly. The girl pushing the swing next to her was so frightened that she turned and ran away.

Fu Meng stared wide-eyed, unable to speak, and could only dig a hole in frustration.

Madam Shen said, "Those two are concubine's daughters in the family. Please excuse their appearance."

Yu Tingwan narrowed her eyes and understood.

She trotted over and patted the tiger's head: "Rebellion?"

"Roar!"

Fu Meng pointed with his finger at Shen Jiashu Xiao Huaiyan, who was on the swing. (Female.)

Yu Tingwan discussed with it: "You need to know your own limitations."

Fu Meng shook its head, indicating that it wouldn't listen.

Yu Tingwan: "You'll make a fool of yourself."

Fu Meng scoffed.

Anyone who dares to laugh at it will be swatted away!

Yu Tingwan: "Really? Isn't that immoral?"

Fu Meng covered his ears.

The morally upright Yu Tingwan turned to look at the illegitimate daughter.

The concubine's daughter was trembling and frail; I felt pity for her.

"Madam, it's alright. I was just easily frightened because I'm timid."

She wanted to make a good impression.

"Please don't blame this white tiger. It is majestic and has rendered meritorious service on the battlefield."

Yu Tingwan said irritably, "Then get down here."

"It's fine to try and attract the attention of other ladies and gentlemen, but why are you trying to attract Fu Meng?"

They're just making trouble for her.

Concubine's daughter: ? ? ?
Yu Tingwan patted the tiger's head: "Get out of the way."

"It's going to swing!"
