The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 101: Dong Mansion... Taking a Wife

The black crow, merging seamlessly with the tiles on the roof, shook its body, flapped its wings, and flew nimbly to another spot.

Over here, Yu Tingwan and the others had just moved into their new home.

Even though the courtyard was clean, everything that needed cleaning still had to be cleaned.

Yu Tingwan hadn’t slept all night, and Hui Niang had only taken a nap yesterday, yet both were in unusually high spirits.

They first cleaned the room where she and Wei Zhao would stay, and Yu Tingwan helped Wei Zhao lie down.

"Today we have to tidy up the new house, so we might not have free time. Here we lack chairs and stools, so tomorrow mom and I will go buy some."

The girl was visibly delighted as she leaned close to Wei Zhao.

"Mom said that since we have money now, we shouldn’t delay the promise to make clothes for me. We’ll just use the money that was meant for your medical treatment."

Yu Tingwan counted on her fingers, "Mom just loves me."

Wei Zhao lay down and was about to turn over.

But Yu Tingwan turned him back.

Wei Zhao helplessly said, "Hmm?"

Yu Tingwan’s eyes were bright, "And you?"

Wei Zhao paused, moved his gaze away, avoiding her charming eyes, "I..."

He had just uttered a word.

When Yu Tingwan immediately covered his mouth.

Wei Zhao: ...

Afterwards, Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang tidied up the kitchen, discussing going to the grocery store later to buy some spices.

Yue Shan curiously looked around, occasionally running out the door to see the empty alley.

Wei Zhao was lying on the couch, resting with his eyes closed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The black crow returned.

It flew into the house, hopping towards Wei Zhao.

Finally.

It puffed up with pride, making a dramatic display. Initially, it could still recite something with feeling and emotion, word for word.

But after all, it was just a bird, hearing too much and remembering too little. It got stuck.

It widened its small pea-sized eyes.

Thought for a long time but could only recall a few sentences.

"Deserved to die, deserved to die."

"The Princely Heir..."

But then it forgot the rest.

The black crow babbled on, "Come, come and pry open the coffin, pry open the coffin."

Wei Zhao remained expressionless, but his eyelids twitched three times.

————

Yu Tingwan, carrying a basket on her back, not only bought the spices Hui Niang needed but also some vegetables.

The new house lacked everything.

She would add things bit by bit over time.

With money in hand and just moving in, they should have a decent meal.

She hadn’t had meat in a long time.

Yu Tingwan bought a pot, rice, a pound of fatty meat from the butcher, and some bones for soup.

She also bought flour, planning to have mom make dumplings in a few days.

The girl had planned well and was about to head back along the road she came from when she suddenly paused and furrowed her brows, turning around.

It seemed... somewhat familiar.

Yu Tingwan tried moving forward, then again, finally turning right.

It was unknown how long she walked.

Only to see red silk ribbons hung high and a cacophony of gongs and drums.

Her gaze slowly lifted upwards.

It was... the Dong Mansion.

"What a sin, how can the Dong Family be so bold as to marry today?"

Someone passing by whispered.

"The fortune teller calculated it, saying today is very auspicious. Mr. Dong is old and believes in these things."

"What is he afraid of? Every month he offers silver with both hands to please the Government Office. Even the nearby magistrates know him."

"It turns out he has fattened those people up, not doing proper work."

"We have no power or influence, and that General is not related to us. Who dares to report him? Unless they don’t want to live."

"Poor bride, I heard she’s just thirteen, sold by her stepmother."

The latter part seemed as if Yu Tingwan couldn’t hear it.

Her eyes trembled, though her originally beautiful face could turn gentle, fearing trouble before she came out. She knew too many people were untouchable, so she unhesitatingly smeared soot on her face, black as can be.

It wouldn’t catch the eye.

It was disappointing.

Very safe.

Thinking of this, she didn’t deliberately avoid it.

These words must have appeared in the past life, except the bride in their mouths was replaced.

It turns out there will always be vulnerable women being harmed.

"Mr. Dong, congratulations!"

Yu Tingwan saw someone being assisted out of the Dong Family,

Landlord Dong was dressed in celebratory clothes, but with age his body was hunched, hair was graying. Yet during joyous occasions, he was spirited, and his eyes shone brightly, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

The old man glanced at the servants behind him.

The servants understood and hurriedly shouted out.

"Today our master is in great joy, wishing to celebrate with everyone. All passersby can come to the door and receive a wedding pastry."

With this proclamation, the passersby who were initially criticizing the Dong Family’s lack of morals suddenly changed their tone.

"Mr. Dong is generous!"

"Wow, the wedding pastry filling is actually meat, a rarity indeed. The master truly is a rich figure in this region. This shows regard for the new lady. If the lady later bears a son, bless her; the fortune is still ahead."

Yu Tingwan’s expression darkened.

She was thoughtful.

She had to think of a way, without involving herself, to inform the Wei Family Army. It would serve the Dong Family right.

However, who knew that the servant who just shouted would stride towards her.

"Miss, our Master Dong finds you pleasing to his eye, and he invites you into the mansion for a drink."

With this announcement, the people on the street all turned to look.

Some were watching for entertainment, some understood, and others felt pity.

Once the Landlord Dong took a liking to someone, there was no escaping his grasp.

Yu Tingwan, feeling weary, lifted her eyelids, her gaze as cold as ice.

She paid no heed to the servant, as if sensing something, she looked up and met Landlord Dong’s gaze.

That person’s eyes stared fixedly at her, with an expression of amazement.

Her appearance was frightfully dark, how could it seem as if her looks were also lacking? But Landlord Dong had experienced many women. Though she was dressed clumsily, the figure hidden under the cotton clothes was alluring at a glance.

Yu Tingwan: ???

No way, wasn’t she all soot-blackened?

Even she couldn’t bear to look at herself.

Her stomach churned, unable to hide the disgust in her eyes, she turned to walk away.

"Miss."

The servant threatened, "You are disrespecting our Landlord!"

Who was he anyway, that Yu Tingwan had to give face?

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

The servant raised his chin smugly.

Many people were eager to enter the Dong Mansion!

The new lady upfront was too young and naive. She cried about wanting to go home but was intimidated and obediently went through the ceremony. Now she was being sent into the bridal chamber.

But this one in front, unaware of good or bad.

However, it was all Matchmaker Liu from Xilin Village’s fault, she originally guaranteed to bring beauties from far and wide.

Said beauty was like jade, delicate and charming, and had even read books.

But then suddenly there was no news.

The master could only choose again and again.

Now the new lady was young, and her appearance was only average, but her birth date fit perfectly. It suited the master’s eyes.

He was familiar, one of those who pursued Yu Tingwan in her past life.

Yu Tingwan knew the Dong Family was not to be offended right now, so she suppressed her temper and the rising hatred. She lifted her steps to leave, "No, there’s something at home."

Landlord Dong: "Stop!"

Just as he said it, the servant was about to grab Yu Tingwan’s hand.

"Stop."

Before the voice reached, arrows did.

The sharp arrow feathers flew fiercely through the air, piercing straight through the servant’s raised palm.

"Ah!"
