The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 134: She Is Both Flexible and Broad-Minded

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: She Is Both Flexible and Broad-Minded

The two of them did not linger outside for too long. Yu Tingwan bought a bag of candy and prepared to return.

Yet, there was another burst of commotion ahead.

Someone shouted loudly.

"The nobles from the Capital have come a long way, especially to handle the case. They are entering the Post Station now! It probably won’t be long before they start interrogating people. Everyone, hurry!"

Everyone’s chatter came to a halt; they were all too consumed to care about anything else and surged forward together.

Yu Tingwan was bumped into several times. Finding the street too crowded, and fearing she might run into Wei Zhao, she simply pushed through toward the small path.

Wei Zhao asked nonchalantly, "Aren’t you going to watch?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

With someone like you, if you go, won’t you get recognized immediately!

However, she was slightly uneasy.

"I wonder what the status of the officials is this time. Not to mention anything else, just the relief grain case from the famine year has far-reaching implications. Ordinary officials probably don’t want to offend people and dare not investigate deeply."

If this is the case, how is it any different from just going through the motions?

Yu Tingwan cared about Lady Xiao’s case, but she was even more vexed by the relief grain matter from back then.

"It’s He Xuran from the Imperial Censorate who came."

Wei Zhao: "This person’s identity is not simple, the favored son of the Commander-in-chief, a member of the Empress Dowager’s family, brother-in-law to the current Grand Tutor. Proud and upright, with thunderous means."

"With him handling it, you can rest assured."

Yu Tingwan’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.

When she returned to the Wei Family, Yu Tingwan prepared to handle the vegetables she bought.

No matter how annoying Wei Zhao was at times, Yu Tingwan had heard of many things about him.

General Wei Zhao, despite his noble status, never held himself high. During the march, he took great care of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.

Wei Zhao, though a man of iron, also had a tender side.

Though many said he was filial, someone like him had acted quite abnormal on the street earlier.

You could even call it contradictory.

Yu Tingwan couldn’t help but wonder, why did Wei Zhao seek death at first?

Clearly, Elder Ge was in the army, highly skilled in medicine, yet with injuries, he appeared in Xilin Village.

Back when Elder Ge was invited, he was extremely unwilling, but upon seeing Wei Zhao, his emotions fluctuated greatly.

Apparently, it’s even possible that neither he nor the entire Wei Family Army knew Wei Zhao was still alive.

Yu Tingwan really couldn’t make sense of it, the mystery was tremendous.

She feared that pulling one thread might affect everything...

It’s said that too much wit hurts, Wei Zhao bears too many secrets, which could also crush him.

These days, with the man’s attitude towards her, Yu Tingwan wasn’t so naive as not to understand.

If she asks.

Wei Zhao might not be unwilling to tell. But precisely because of this, she dared not ask.

She wasn’t very talented, hadn’t seen much of the world, but had self-awareness. She had only read for a few years, recognized some words, and knew a few truths.

Wei Zhao likely wouldn’t remain as Wei Shen for a lifetime.

The gap between them was too big, almost insurmountable.

If it came to talking about love, it would be the most fatal.

Yu Tingwan wasn’t afraid of hearing outsiders say she was a rural village woman, saying she wasn’t worthy of Wei Zhao.

But men in this world were mostly fickle. When Wei Zhao cared for her, whatever she wanted was not too much. If one day he tired of her, she had no prominent family background, no strong maternal family as a backing. Then what would she be?

Women fear most living by relying on their husbands’ family.

The girl felt too insecure.

She only wanted to live a plain and stable life.

As for other things, she did not want to consider them yet; at least, Yu Tingwan hadn’t figured things out now. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Thinking deeply, she didn’t pay attention while cutting vegetables, and the sharp knife nicked her fingertip.

The pain hit her.

The wound wasn’t deep, and Yu Tingwan didn’t take it seriously. When she first moved into the Hu Family and learned to cook, cutting herself was a common occurrence.

Who would feel sorry for her?

Wei Zhao was also in the kitchen, silent since they returned, and his face darkened when he saw this.

"Is this the Wei Family? There’s a letter for your household."

A stranger’s voice came from outside.

Immediately, there was a clear voice, "Yes, that’s the Wei Family."

Lady Zhao came out from her house, saw the Wei Family’s door tightly closed, and helped to call out, "Wan Niang, Wan Niang, are you home?"

Yu Tingwan was delighted and didn’t care about anything else.

"It must be a letter from father and mother."

She casually rinsed and treated the wound, then quickly ran out.

After opening the door.

The courier bent slightly, offering the letter with both hands, extremely respectful.

Once he had gone far, Lady Zhao, holding Nannan next door, was bewildered.

She received many letters at her house, but it was the first time she encountered someone with such an attitude.

Her husband was an academician of Ze County, after all.

If Lady Zhao didn’t know the Wei Family came from the countryside, she would have suspected their identity wasn’t simple.

After taking the envelope, Yu Tingwan noticed something amiss.

It was really thick.

Eager to open and read it, she heard quite a commotion from the alley entrance.

Yu Tingwan paused in her action, puzzled, and saw Lady Zhao motion with her mouth.

"The Liu Family returned early. You should have seen the scene. Five or six carts full of big and small boxes were being moved into the house."

Lady Zhao was amiable and had no conflicts with the Liu Family people.

Yet businessmen were shrewd, and the entire Wei Family was honest; she feared Yu Tingwan would suffer. She couldn’t help but offer some advice.

"I told you before, don’t take it lightly."

"The Liu Family Girl returned this time to choose a husband. Already five or six matchmakers have visited. Holding over thirty portraits of men, the Liu Family Girl flipped through them all but didn’t fancy any."

Lady Zhao shook her head, "Truly picky."

"People from the neighboring alley all go to watch the fun. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"No, thank you."

Declining politely, she returned to the yard and opened the envelope.

Inside was a thick stack, all silver notes of one liang denomination except for a blank sheet of paper.

The girl’s breath was held.

She quickly shut the courtyard door tightly.

After securing everything, Yu Tingwan looked down and counted the notes one by one.

A total of one thousand liang.

Yu Tingwan suddenly thought of when she got angry after being teased by him at night and hit him.

She raised her eyes, and Wei Zhao, who was leaning against the kitchen door at some point, said, "You did this?"

Wei Zhao hinted, "So that no one would talk about it later."

Each note was one liang, for the girl’s convenience in carrying and use when going out.

Taking out a note of a thousand liang would be inconvenient and too conspicuous.

It was indeed his doing.

Wei Zhao said, "Keep the silver notes well, give me the paper inside."

Yu Tingwan found it and couldn’t help but glance twice.

Wei Zhao’s voice came over.

"It’ll show words only when treated with special liquid made from certain medicines."

Yu Tingwan: !!

She shouldn’t have been curious.

She handed it over, but Wei Zhao didn’t take it, leisurely watching Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan suddenly felt the awkwardness of receiving too much.

Actually, even if Wei Zhao hadn’t given it, she wouldn’t have minded.

After all, she enjoyed hitting him at the time.

But now that he had given it, Yu Tingwan couldn’t bring herself to harden her resolve to say.

—Take it back! I don’t want it.

She raised her head, "That night, I didn’t control my emotions well."

Yu Tingwan dryly said, "I’m very embarrassed."

Wei Zhao: ...

He only heard her perfunctory words.

Yu Tingwan: "You don’t mind me riding on you, right?"

She was flexible, magnanimous.

"It’s not a big deal."

"I can let you ride back on me."

Wei Zhao’s eyes deepened, his Adam’s apple moved. His gaze towards Yu Tingwan wasn’t right anymore.

"Alright. I’ll remember that."
