The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 525 Can't you tell? I'm feeling guilty!

Yu Tingwan's first pregnancy was very easy; she experienced no nausea or vomiting, nor did she suffer from backache or weakness. She simply slept a few more hours each day than usual.

Ning Suchan took back control of the household management.

in fact……

She thought Yu Tingwan was full of energy.

Managing a household is something I can perfectly handle.

But when she returned from the suburbs after receiving the news that day, Yu Tingwan pretended to wave a pile of account books in front of her.

"Lately, I've been getting a headache just looking at the ledgers."

Ning Suchan: ...

How many days do you say you don't have a headache and want to slack off?

"I suppose it's because my mother-in-law's own granddaughter doesn't like watching it."

What can Ning Suchan do?
Yu Tingwan does everything except do serious work.

After all... it's really hard to get used to having free time.

There is a loquat tree in the garden.

A few fruits at the very top of the tree ripened first, their bright yellow color hanging among the dark green leaves. The loquats below, within Yu Tingwan's reach, remained hard and green.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the loquat leaves, casting sparse, dappled patterns of light on the bluestone slabs.

With a flick of her wrist, the hidden arrow shot out.

I missed.

Yu Tingwan was not discouraged.

She hasn't practiced in a long time.

After six shots, a sharp crack was heard as the arrow tip grazed the forks of several fruit branches, and the golden loquats at the top fell to the ground.

In her past life, she was powerless and had no chance to resist. In this life, however, she is well protected.

This was the only way Yu Tingwan could use the hidden weapon that Wei Zhao gave her.

She peeled one and ate it; it was so sweet.

Yu Tingwan ate as she strolled over to Ning Suchan's side.

Ning Suchan glanced at her only once before quickly lowering her head to continue her work.

Yu Tingwan walked over.

"Mother-in-law."

"what's up?"

"Seeing my mother-in-law working so hard, I really feel heartbroken and can't bear it."

Who has a sweet tongue like you!

She sat for a while, not wanting to cause any trouble, and when she left, she didn't forget to take a plate of snacks from the table. She then went to Shen Jin's courtyard to listen to Shen Jin play the zither.

Yu Tingwan believes that girls should be nurtured from a young age.

After listening, she glanced at the bird and tiger that insisted on following her.

Fu Meng quickly raised his tiger paw and clapped enthusiastically.

A blue crow circled in the air, cawing wildly, "Caiying! Listen! It sounds so beautiful, so beautiful!"

Shen Jin: ...

I've never seen anyone bring crows or white tigers to support them.

On the occasion of the Yiling Ancestor's birthday, thick cushions were placed on the carriage to avoid the bumpy ride. The sun was no longer scorching, but the afternoon was still sultry.

Fortunately, there are always some ice cubes on the table.

Wei Zhao asked the court for leave, and Ning Suchan took care of her family affairs. The group did not rush to travel and first took a three-day carriage ride.

When Yu Tingwan returned to Beijing, she suffered from seasickness.

Wei Zhao originally planned to take only half a day by boat, then transfer to a carriage at the ferry on the other side of the river.

But who could have known that Yu Tingwan showed no signs of discomfort this time?

She even leisurely went to the stern of the boat with a fishing rod she found somewhere, and when she got tired, she lay down on Wei Zhao for a nap.

"Such a smooth life must mean she's a lazy girl."

Ning Suchan said, "She does know how to care for people."

An hour passed.

Yu Tingwan was very unhappy: "Why isn't my rod moving?"

Wei Zhao: "Their skills are lacking."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

"You can come?"

Wei Zhao replied without hesitation, "I can't either."

Yu Tingwan: ...

"You're a grown man, you can't say things like that..."

Wei Zhao's palm landed on her lower abdomen, where she wasn't showing yet.

Wei Zhao asked slowly, "Can't what?"

Wei Zhao: "Whom do I need to prove anything to?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Yu Tingwan: "But I want to eat fish."

"There are some on the boat." They're all fresh; the boatman caught them early this morning.

Yu Tingwan said gently, "But you should tell her you want to eat what I caught."

Wei Zhao did not believe it.

The child isn't very troublesome, but the mother is quite demanding.

Wei Zhao and she exchanged a glance.

"you……"

Just one look from him and you know he's not going to say anything nice!
Yu Tingwan was about to cover his mouth.

But it was too late.

Wei Zhao said truthfully, "It's a real shame, then you'll just have to let her go hungry."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Without hesitation, she punched Wei Zhao.

“Return to it.”

Shen Jin's voice came from behind.

Although she didn't know why Yu Tingwan, who was perfectly fine with her husband, would suddenly resort to violence on her own, however...

"Your wife is pregnant, so be more considerate of her."

Shen Jin: "You are a military general, with a stiff body, it hurts when she hits you."

Yu Tingwan didn't feel any pain at first.

But after Shen Jin said that, she really felt very vulnerable.

She clenched her fist.

"My fists are all red!"

Wei Zhao was so angry he almost laughed. He picked up a long-handled bamboo ladle from the side, dipped it into the river, and scooped up a pool of water that shimmered with gold.

He didn't say anything, but simply pressed Yu Tingwan's fist into the ladle and scrubbed it.

Is it still popular?

Yu Tingwan: ...

Oh.

forget.

She had just been playing with the paints Ning Suchan used for painting.

Yu Tingwan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Zhao: "What's wrong?"

He frowned, just as he was about to think she was unwell.

"Can't you see?"

Yu Tingwan said loudly, "I feel guilty."

Wei Zhao:......

Your voice tells me no.

Once the boat docked, Wei Zhao helped several people ashore.

Shunzi and the others were busy unloading cargo from the ship. Besides luggage, there were also gifts brought from the capital to the old master, as well as gifts from Yu Tingwan and Shen Jintou to the elders and younger generation.

The dock was bustling, and the porters walked barefoot on the moss-covered steps, their burlap sacks bending under the weight of their carrying poles, making a creaking sound.

There are tea stalls on both sides where people can rest, and various stalls selling fruits and fish.

Everything Yu Tingwan found new and exciting; it was a different culture and customs from those in the capital.

Protected by Wei family soldiers in civilian clothes, Shen Jin and Ning Suchan walked in front, while Yu Tingwan and Wei Zhao walked behind.

After getting away from the dock, they hired a car and headed straight for the Wei family's ancestral home.

The ancestral home of the Wei family.

A longevity-themed gauze lantern hangs in front of the vermilion gate, its shape fluttering in the wind as it sweeps across the gilded plaque above it.

The elder, with his white hair and a silk robe adorned with pine and crane motifs, reclined on a rosewood couch to receive greetings.

A stage had been set up in front, and they were performing "Magu Presents Longevity".

The grandchildren respectfully stepped forward to kowtow, presenting a longevity scroll and a jade ruyi (a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing longevity).

Aside from his grandchildren, many prominent figures from Yiling also rushed to his door to offer their birthday wishes, hoping to make an appearance before the dignitaries in the capital.

But after waiting around, I still didn't see the person I wanted to see.

"Elder Wei."

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Has no one from the capital arrived yet?"

The clan elder glanced at him. He hadn't received any news from the capital that they were coming, so he assumed they were too busy to come.

"Gui is busy with official duties, and his wife hasn't even settled into her new life yet. How could she possibly make the trip?"

They really don't know how to be considerate.

"Can……"

The elder's words were full of protection: "So, just because you're not a junior doesn't mean you can't be understanding?"

"This……"

But at your age, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid you won't have many more birthdays to celebrate, so you should come over eventually.

But it's not easy to say these things.
