The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 492 Caring for Me by Every Means

Sure enough he knew.

Wei Zhao replied, "It is merely to carry out the late emperor's decree, and to test my uncle's martial arts skills. The main purpose is to use this to suppress and demonstrate the emperor's might."

Although not seriously injured, he was still bleeding.

Wei Zhao's tone was cold: "The shadowy figure was left behind by the founding emperor. It is loyal to the emperor, but rarely shows itself. It only protects the emperor's safety and will not help him do any dirty things that are against heaven and reason."

"But they did things for the late emperor."

Wei Zhao was well aware of the late emperor's abilities.

"I want to know if any of these shadowy figures have betrayed us and are now completely at the emperor's beck and call?"

After Lu Huaizhang placed another piece, he turned around and went to get his bundle.

Gu Fuju could only watch helplessly as this shameless man laid three eggs in a row.

The chessboard is constantly changing, and Lu Huaizhang is about to win.

Lu Huaizhang: "Everything you want to know is here."

The bundle contained numerous pieces of evidence of the crimes.

It's been quite a few years, and the paper cover has turned slightly yellow, but you can tell that Lu Huaizhang preserved it extremely well.

It's really thick.

The late emperor and Emperor Yingqian were even more inhuman than he had imagined.

Lu Huaizhang: "Before I resigned from my official post and left the capital, I moved the entire Lu family to Jiangnan. Although we no longer wield immense power, we still have a solid foundation. As long as we are honest and law-abiding, we will be safe for life. This is my way of entrusting my father with this."

"That bundle is for you."

There's so much targeting the Wei family inside.

“I have been in contact with Fu Ju for many years, but you may not know that I talk about you the most.”

"I've been waiting for the day when I can personally hand these over to you."

He couldn't do it, but he kept waiting for the corrupt dynasty to be overthrown by these young people.

Wei Zhao thanked him, bowed deeply to him, and accepted the gift carefully.

He had no intention of staying long and was in a hurry to go back, so he took his leave.

Gu Fuju: "You just left?"

Wei Zhao: "What, Master, you don't want me to stay for a meal?"

Gu Fuju: ...

Wei Zhao: "Does the Master have any instructions?"

"none."

Wei Zhao said quietly, "He's quite indifferent."

Gu Fuju: ...

It's already a good thing we didn't kick you out.

Lu Huaizhang couldn't help but chuckle.

He urged Gu Fujiu to play chess: "It's your turn."

What else?
Gu Fuju lost his temper: "I admit defeat."

Wei Zhao looked over.

He did nothing.

The moment Lu Huaizhang held Gu Fuju's black chess piece between his fingertips, its cool, smooth texture touching his fingertips, and flicked it casually, the piece flew like an arrow and landed steadily on the chessboard, his pupils constricted.

The world is turned upside down.

The game of chess is ever-changing.

The white pieces have clearly forced the black pieces into a corner, and the outcome is already decided.

Black's advance was unstoppable, its counterattack as sharp as a knife, cutting off the lifeline of White's large group of stones.

Wei Zhao said to Gu Fuju, "Do you see? The student is still on your side."

"..."

Not long after Wei Zhao left.

"grown ups."

The butler ran into the yard, panting.

The Grand Tutor's residence has always been known for its strict rules, especially since the Grand Tutor was entertaining guests. This was an unusual breach of etiquette by the steward.

Gu Fuju thought something serious had happened.

He frowned: "What's wrong?"

Butler: "The young lady is back!"

Gu Fuju didn't take it seriously. He was dignified and composed, exuding authority without anger. His calm demeanor was like a distant mountain. He only glanced at the man lightly.

“Awu went out, and she’s back now.”

"No, it's not."

The housekeeper exclaimed excitedly, "It's the eldest daughter!"

Gu Fuju suddenly stood up.

"Where are people?"

Yu Tingwan jumped off the carriage.

Ahead, vendors were walking through the streets selling tea eggs.

The rich aroma of the braising sauce was so enticing that it seemed to beckon Yu Tingwan to follow it.

She can't stand braised food the most.

Hui Niang's braised large intestines had been so tempting to her back then.

The earthenware pot was still burning with charcoal, bubbling and emitting smoke.

The vendor was an elderly woman with white hair at the temples, which were neatly combed, and bright eyes. She wore a faded indigo shirt. Her cart was made of camphor wood, and the earthenware pot on the stove was polished so clean that it reflected one's image, with not a speck of dust on its lid.

It is evident that the food was clean.

Seeing Yu Tingwan's attire, the old woman knew she was of noble status and was somewhat at a loss.

She lifted the lid of the pot, gently stirred the brown broth in the earthenware pot with a long-handled copper ladle, and ripples spread out, revealing the heavy eggs underneath. She tentatively asked, "Madam, would you like to buy some braised eggs?"

Yu Tingwan stared intently at him.

The eggshells had long been cooked until they developed spiderweb-like cracks.

It looks delicious.

She swallowed.

"purchase."

Yu Tingwan: "Give me two."

The old woman smiled and said, "Okay."

Before Tan Jiang could even take out his money, Jia Shan came over to pay the bill.

Jiashan: "Are two enough?"

When Yu Tingwan saw her give the money, she didn't say anything, but just nodded gently: "That's enough."

Jiashan always felt it wasn't enough.

She also felt that two eggs were too meager.

This is the first time she's bought something for Yao Yao.

Jiashan thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy the whole pot."

Yu Tingwan said, "I can't finish it."

"It's alright. Take it back with you later. Give it to the servants in your mother-in-law's courtyard, and give them a share as well."

"Now that you are in charge of the household, with Guizhi and your mother still around, the people below will naturally recognize you, but there will inevitably be a few who are not convinced."

Jiashan told her, "Although it's just a bite to eat, it's a special gift from your master. It won't make them greedy, but often small, insignificant favors will make these people more devoted to you."

This is the way to manage a household.

Yu Tingwan wrote it down.

During this time, Jiashan often brought her snacks. Yu Tingwan would never arrive empty-handed.

"I brought some pickles for my wife, as well as some local specialties from Zexian County."

It was sent to her by Hui Niang.

Yu Tingwan usually couldn't bear to eat it.

She gave me a whole plate of pickled vegetables; she was really generous.

Yu Tingwan asked Tan Jiang to hand over the food box.

"I'm not a good cook."

"The delicacies prepared by the chefs in your household are something I imagine you would also like to eat."

"These pickled vegetables are excellent with porridge. They were a gift from my mother-in-law in Ze County. They're a local specialty, a snack from a small town. If you don't mind..."

Tears welled up in Jiashan's eyes.

"I'm overjoyed that you gave this to your mother."

Wei Zhao and his group came out at this time.

"Sister-in-law!"

Xiao Huaiyan: "Why are you here?"

Yu Tingwan: "I'll bring some food and also pick up my husband from his home."

Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ?
What the hell.

Xiao Huaiyan glanced around.

"Where's my wife? Didn't she come with you?"

Yu Tingwan went to push Wei Zhao in his wheelchair.

"She has returned home."

Xiao Huaiyan: "No, she doesn't know you're here to pick up Wei Zhao?"

"know."

Xiao Huaiyan couldn't understand and felt resentful: "Then why didn't she come to pick me up?"

Doesn't she care about me?

Yu Tingwan: "She said you have long legs."

"Didn't Wei Zhao grow up?!"

Wei Zhao asked in bewilderment, "Why did you bring this upon yourself?"

Xiao Huaiyan held a grudge.

"Sister-in-law, he's not three years old. How could he not know the way back?"

Why did you answer?

Yu Tingwan said softly, "I'm willing."

"I'm willing to make this trip."

"It's probably going to thunder again soon. What if he gets scared?"
Yu Tingwan expressed her concern: "I'm not at ease just thinking about it."

Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? !
He looked at Wei Zhao, who remained silent.

But she was clearly charmed by the sweet words, her eyes and lips crinkling into a smile.

It's unbearable to watch.

Xiao Huaiyan questioned Wei Zhao: "You're afraid of thunder? How come I didn't know that?"

Wei Zhao: "Lei should be afraid of me."

He was in a good mood and said lazily, "What can I do? My wife is trying every possible way to care about me."
