The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 475 So what? I didn't take your clothes off.
As dusk approached, lanterns were lit throughout the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, making it as bright as day, and the sounds of clinking glasses and toasts filled the air.

There are quite a few people here today.

After taking her seat, Yu Tingwan casually glanced around.

They spotted three princes and two princesses.

Perhaps sensing Yu Tingwan's gaze, Yao Ru, whose expression was cold, showed signs of melting on her face the moment their eyes met.

Yingzhi saw it and seemed to be deep in thought.

"You seem to have a good relationship with the young mistress of the Duke of Shun's mansion. She even made a special trip to visit you last time."

He had a smile on his face.

He reached out affectionately to help Yao Ru sit down.

Yao Ru pretended not to see it, moved aside, and sat down directly.

Ying Zhi wasn't annoyed. He withdrew his hand after it had been hanging in mid-air. He straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, like an exceptionally considerate husband.

He spoke softly, close to her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Outsiders assumed the couple had a good relationship and smiled knowingly.

Little did they know that Ying Zhi's words were all scheming and threats.

"Yao Ru, you must remember this: you are my wife. Only when I get better will you get better, and only then will Dun Ge'er get better."

"You'd better try to win Yu Tingwan over."

Yao Ru felt nauseous.

How could you not understand Ying Zhi's scheme?

They simply set their sights on the Gu and Wei families, or more precisely, on Gu Fuju and Wei Zhao.

Yu Tingwan felt a chill when she saw Ying Zhi's actions, but they were husband and wife after all, and she couldn't just run over and slap him away.

"Yaoyao."

Jiashan stood up and served her some food. It was the first time they had dined together, and even though it was a Xiao family wedding banquet, she was still happy.

"This is the chef of the Xiao family's specialty. The whole duck is deboned and stuffed with eight delicacies such as sea cucumber, abalone, and scallops. After steaming, it retains its shape and doesn't fall apart. It tastes very good. You should try it."

Ning Suchan was also exhausted after half a day. It was because the Lady of Zhongyong was afraid of making mistakes, so she had to help Ning Suchan keep an eye on everything.

He was afraid of neglecting the guests if he said he had no experience, and he was also afraid of doing something wrong and making the bride feel wronged.

But... Ning Suchan has no experience either.

She was sitting in her seat, looking at Yu Tingwan with a furrowed brow.

The girl had a rosy complexion, red lips, and white teeth—the most beautiful features—and looked gentle and kind. Yet, she was also opinionated and incredibly stubborn.

Under Jiashan's expectant gaze, she looked down at the food in her bowl, blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her head to eat.

"how is the taste?"

Yu Tingwan replied honestly, "Very good."

Seeing that she had eaten, Jiashan couldn't hide the smile on his face and couldn't help but eagerly put more food on her plate.

"This is braised shark fin. It is said that the shark fin was simmered for three days, and the broth is as thick as golden glue. The cooking time is perfectly controlled."

The color is indeed tempting.

Yu Tingwan put it in her mouth and said, "It's delicious too."

She didn't resist, but they weren't particularly close.

But this is already excellent, and Jiashan is very satisfied.

As time went on, Yu Tingwan became unsure of Gu Jia's feelings towards her.

But when facing them, there was no longer any barrier; I felt calm and open-minded.

Yu Tingwan said gently, "You don't need to take care of me, you can eat too."

"it is good!"

Jiashan ignored the honorific and happily agreed.

She's not in a hurry.

She has plenty of time; one day she will be able to resolve the child's inner conflict.

Gu Fuju ladled out a bowl of bird's nest and shredded chicken soup, intending to deliver it to Yu Tingwan, when someone with long, slender legs reached out to take it.

The owner of the hand smiled.

"Thank you, Master."

Wei Zhao smiled: "How did you know the students wanted to eat?"

Gu Fuju: ...

It makes me annoyed when I see it.

Yu Tingwan noticed something was wrong and turned her head.

"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?"

She seemed restless from the moment she sat down, and didn't touch her chopsticks at all.

Ning Suchan snapped out of her thoughts and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear: "Compared to the Xiao family's marriage, the Wei family has really wronged you."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table stopped eating.

But Yu Tingwan didn't take it seriously.

What is she upset about?

Yu Tingwan enjoys lively gatherings, but she doesn't like others watching her make a scene.

She didn't want to end up like Shen Zhiyi, busy all day without knowing what she was doing, not even having time to eat, especially after putting on makeup. She also didn't want to have to keep up appearances and make small talk with unfamiliar relatives and female guests.

Just thinking about it is exhausting. Besides, Wei Zhao later made it up to her.

Yu Tingwan will always remember that Wei Zhao returned her Yu family to her and helped her build a grave for her parents.

After the ceremony was held in front of the elders, it was finally legitimate for him to personally decorate the wedding room.

She didn't worry about anything.

Yu Tingwan was about to say no.

Your son is more considerate than anyone else.

Ning Suchan: "If you're willing, why don't you make up for it..."

Jiashan's eyes lit up; she had had this idea for a while, but it was difficult to bring it up. The family's dowry had never had a chance to be sent.

"No."

A clean and decisive refusal.

One trip to the countryside, one trip to Wuyang City, and if it has to be to the capital again...

Yu Tingwan muttered to herself, "Mencius' mother moved three times for her son, at least each time the place was different. I've married the same man three times, and I've always..."

The words that were about to be said took a roundabout way.

Yu Tingwan flattered Wei Zhao, who had a half-smile on his face.

"It is truly my honor."

Wei Zhao gently pushed away her face, which had suddenly leaned in close.

He said softly, "Don't do this?"

Yu Tingwan frowned: "What?"

Wei Zhao: "After all, we're outside."

He glanced at Gu Fuju, who continued ladling soup.

"Behave yourself. There are so many people here. Don't lay a hand on me."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She was indignant.

What's wrong with touching me?
What's wrong with me? I didn't take your clothes off!

"I've mispoken."

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "That's more like it."

Wei Zhao: "You want to use your mouth."

Gu Fuju: ? ? ?

He frowned deeply.

I want to refute this.

But Yao Yao is truly... devoted to Gui Zhi.

He's heard quite a few sweet nothings.

He didn't want to admit it.

But Yao Yao must have been corrupted by Wei Zhao!
Just then, Gu Wu walked over, looking rather unwell.

She had spilled wine on herself and went to the inner courtyard of the Xiao family to change her clothes.

But seeing Yu Tingwan made her feel better.

"Sister."

She walked over and called out sweetly.

Yu Tingwan looked over at the sound and nodded slightly.

"Sister, your makeup looks really good today."

Yu Tingwan: "I didn't wear rouge."

"It's clear that Sister is naturally beautiful and has a great complexion. Even without wearing rouge, she outshines those meticulously dressed female guests."

This is not an exaggeration.

Yu Tingwan also thought there was nothing wrong with it.

She's absolutely stunning!
She nodded without any hesitation: "Mm."

Yu Tingwan touched her face and said helplessly, "It's just so annoying."

Wei Zhao:......

Gu Wu found a seat and sat down.

Gu Fuju wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "What's wrong?"

Gu Wu then said, "It's nothing, I just bumped into Madam Xun."

He kept talking to her about random things, it was really annoying.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuju understood. The Madam Xun that Gu Wu mentioned was the wife of the Minister of Revenue.

The Xun family intends to arrange a marriage alliance.

always have.

When Yaoyao returned, everyone knew that Awu was an adopted daughter. There was no further news or movement from the Xun family.

Seeing that he and Jia Shan treat A Wu as before, she has a renewed interest in him.

Ironically, Gu Fuju never took a liking to the Xun family's son from beginning to end.

Did the Xun family think they could pick and choose?
