The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 110: There Are Far Too Many Heartless Scholars in This World

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: There Are Far Too Many Heartless Scholars in This World

There can be no further delay in the departure.

The coffin in the mourning hall was respectfully carried out by the Wei Family Army.

As the surrounding townspeople knelt to bid farewell, Ying Yin mounted his horse.

The long procession moved forward.

Just after leaving the county town, Xiao Huaian glanced back.

Who knows what madness possessed Fu Meng — after seeing them off to the city gate, he spotted a peddler carrying meat pies and turned to chase after him, vanishing in a flash.

"Master, the White Tiger raised by General Wei hasn’t followed us."

The confidant noticed this and informed Ying Yin of the matter.

Ying Yin was unconcerned.

It’s nothing but a beast, neither heavy nor light, and cannot be punished. He even found it a nuisance, causing too much trouble if brought along.

"Chi Yu has left some of the Wei Family Army behind, along with those officials from the Ministry of Justice, so nothing will happen, no need to worry."

Saying this, a flicker of emotion passed through Ying Yin’s eyes.

A beast is just a beast, playful in nature.

Most likely, it will catch up again in a few days like today.

He glanced at the confidant and asked softly, "Anything unusual with the Wei Family Army?"

The confidant quickly replied, "None."

Ying Yin pulled the corners of his mouth.

Indeed, what could possibly be unusual?

Heaven is envious of talent, and Wei Zhao is indeed dead.

He was a filial person; if he’d had a breath of life, he would never have ignored the Duchess Shun.

What a pity.

The glory left by the Wei Family’s ancestors is to be buried with Wei Zhao.

Xiao Huaian tightened the reins and headed toward Chi Yu, who was leading the Wei Family Army behind him.

His brows were furrowed, and his gaze at Chi Yu was full of suspicion and investigation.

Xiao Huaian said meaningfully, "It is indeed strange."

"Old Man Ge actually stayed to help at the medical hall."

Chi Yu was expressionless: "Saving lives is what matters. Plus, the Fifth Prince permitted it; even if not, Elder Ge is a free man within the Wei Family Army."

Outsiders cannot interfere.

Xiao Huaian sneered: "Saving lives? Him?"

It’s something to say to outsiders, that’s all.

The officials in Shangjing believe it, Ying Yin believes it, the emperor believes it.

After all, the people of the Wei Family Army always pay attention to their image outside.

One after another acting dead!

Is Elder Ge anyone good?

When Xiao Huaian had a fractured arm before, he never saw Elder Ge make a move!

Oh, he did make a move, only to demand eight hundred taels.

Xiao Huaian, who valued money like life, told him to get lost.

He wouldn’t treat it!

Let him die.

In the end, it was Wei Zhao who couldn’t stand it and set his bone.

Who’s grateful?

Damn, it was Wei Zhao who caused his fracture, making the Imperial Physician in Shangjing dare not treat him! Even his father showed no pity, scolding him that he deserved it.

Xiao Huaian, with a semi-smile, placed his hand on the coffin.

"Chi Yu, how many years have you been with him?"

"Eight years in battle. Oh, almost forgot, you were his attendant in Shangjing."

The world knows only that the Wei Family Army is brave and skilled, with each person being capable.

But only Xiao Huaian has dealt with these people deeply, thoroughly understanding their true nature.

Chi Yu: "What instruction does the Princely Heir have?"

Something suspicious flickered in Xiao Huaian’s eyes, but he ultimately neither asked nor mentioned it, subsiding into silence.

He said nonchalantly, "Nothing, just curious if there were any secrets hidden on his left-hand men or right-hand men."

————

The sky was once again clear today.

The city gates were wide open, with many guards patrolling, quite a display,

clutching his pass, Wei Shouzhong and Hunters Peng, bearing a carrying pole, paid their fees and lined up to enter the city.

"Sure enough, it’s cheaper now; only three wen."

An excited voice came from ahead.

"Finally, those corrupt officials got what they deserved! That’s why I’m heading to the post station to register."

"Yesterday, those who went to register said that if one goes to the post station, tells their grievances, and shows the pass to the people there, the money paid to enter the county town will be refunded. The Fifth Prince said before leaving, that we shouldn’t have to pay to report an official grievance."

"A figure as noble as the Fifth Prince, standing up for us commoners and considering our difficulties! Truly worthy of respect."

These words left Wei Shouzhong puzzled.

Forget it, he was too lazy to inquire and didn’t care.

Wei Shouzhong was weighed down with worry, deeply concerned about Lang’s health.

Failing to acquire precious herbs, he became particularly anxious once descended from the mountain.

Once the road was cleared, he rushed urgently to the town.

The two came on foot and visited all the medical halls in town, not seeing Lang and the others, thus proceeding to the county town.

After being allowed through the city gates, Wei Shouzhong and Hunters Peng prepared to inquire at various medical halls. Unfamiliar with the area, they sought information about how many medical halls were in the county and their specific locations.

"There are many county medical halls, both big and small, scattered all over. But the most renowned medical hall is just ahead. Not far from here."

"See, after the west mine incident, the Fifth Prince dispatched many injured people here overnight, and doctors from nearby rushed to the front medical hall to assist. If you want to inquire, you might as well ask there."

Wei Shouzhong went there.

The medical hall was packed.

He managed to grab an attendant and described the characteristics and situation of his family.

Attendant: "Looking for someone?"

He scrutinized Wei Shouzhong.

"Did someone arrive by ox cart?"

"Four people, your wife, son and daughter-in-law, and a child?"

"Your son is very ill?"

Wei Shouzhong: "Yes, yes!"

"Then you’re looking in the right place; your daughter-in-law left an address when she departed."

The events outside were not specifically sought out by Yu Tingwan.

She was very busy.

Every day she had to go out to purchase household necessities.

She and Hui Niang had tidied up the new home methodically.

Having heard there was a market on the east street today, as usual, after finishing breakfast early, she prepared to leave.

Thinking she might need to buy a lot, she took a basket from the corner.

Hui Niang saw her out, feeling uneasy.

"How about I go with you?"

"I’m worried that buying too much will be too heavy for you."

"They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Mrs. Zhao from next door brought over a plate of pastries yesterday, a specialty from her hometown. What should we return as a gift?"

When it comes to giving gifts, it’s the thought that counts.

We’ll likely be interacting a lot in the future, so we can’t be sloppy.

Yu Tingwan: "A few times I vaguely heard a child crying next door; is there a child in the family?"

Hui Niang nodded: "Yes, a three-year-old girl."

"Mrs. Zhao’s health is poor, and the couple had this child after ten years of marriage, unlike our countryside. The couple treasures their child dearly, without any disappointment because she’s a girl."

Yu Tingwan smiled.

"That Mr. Zhao has been constant to his wife for ten years without casting her off, nor harboring grievances for having no heir, showing he is a man with responsibility."

In this world, too many scholars are heartless and fickle.

Those with knowledge often have more schemes.

Isn’t Hu Yaozu an example?

"Children are gifts hard-won; what matter whether boy or girl? After yearning for years, they are heaven’s blessing."

They should be cherished and treasured.

Yu Tingwan: "Mother was left infirm after having me, unable to give me a brother or sister."

"But my father didn’t mind."
