The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 137: How Vicious!

The alley was not as quiet as usual.

As Yu Tingwan just stepped out, she heard the commotion ahead.

Without guessing, she knew it was the Liu Family at the alley entrance.

Fortunately, the Wei Family was situated far enough away; otherwise, it would disturb Wei Zhao’s recuperation.

She planned to go check out the prison.

Word was that sentencing had already begun.

Though it was crowded there, making it likely she wouldn’t get in.

However, Yu Tingwan didn’t expect that she could barely get out of the small alley.

In front of the Liu Family, a dozen matchmakers were gathered. Each held a stack of portraits, fervently promoting their resources.

"Miss Liu, you can’t delay this marriage matter any longer. The conditions of these men are quite good. I’ve been matchmaking for half my life; how could I deceive you? Look at this one. Isn’t he handsome? Such a proper appearance. He’s even willing to marry into your family and said he would put you first in the future."

"Miss Liu, look at this one, he’s had some schooling, but unfortunately, his family met with misfortune. He has no other demands, just hoping you would support his studies after marriage, and if he passes the scholar exam, you’ll be the scholar’s wife!"

Blocked, Yu Tingwan stopped to look over.

The matchmakers were jostling each other, fearing to be outdone.

Just... very envious.

Back when she was looking, Li Lian was not very helpful, forcing her to urge time and again.

"Move, move. Can’t you understand words? Miss Liu already said she wasn’t interested, why don’t you leave? Are you trying to force a sale? Miss Liu, look at the one I introduced. This fair-faced young man is the best!"

"What? You think he’s too thin? Well, it’s because his family is poor and can’t afford food, but he’s full of strength, and he has a sweet mouth! When he moves into the Liu Family, he’ll make you happy every day. If Miss Liu thinks he’s okay, I’ll have him come over for you to meet."

Yu Tingwan: ...

She didn’t know if Miss Liu was interested.

But Yu Tingwan was quite tempted.

Really, men with sweet words may not be reliable.

Wei Zhao was reliable, but he was also infuriating when he talked.

Miss Liu was clearly quite impatient by this point.

"Yes, I passed the word. Whoever can arrange the marriage won’t miss out on a reward from me. But don’t try to dupe me with some bad matches."

"Every girl married off faces her mother-in-law; right now, I’m looking for a man to marry into the family. I feed them, clothe them, and they take advantage of it. Shouldn’t they be sweet-mouthed and attentive to me, serving tea and water?"

Yu Tingwan: ???

Even though what she said was absurd.

Listening to it was still quite amusing. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

For a moment, Yu Tingwan even thought, if Wei Zhao left, and she didn’t plan to leave with him, could she...

"This one’s mouth is crooked, that one’s nostrils are too big, the other has a sorrowful look. Handsome? Handsome in what way!"

"I want someone who astonishes me at first glance."

At that moment, Miss Liu looked through the crowd and saw Yu Tingwan struggling against the wall.

She was always picky, but after taking a glance at Yu Tingwan, her gaze fixated.

The girl had dark skin, but her profile features were excellent.

Miss Liu found her easy on the eyes.

"Hey, are you from the innermost house, the one that just moved in?"

Yu Tingwan turned to look.

She nodded slightly.

Liu Yan: "Then help me see, are any of these people good-looking?"

Yu Tingwan looked over.

None were robust.

She shook her head.

Being recognized by Liu Yan: "See, they insist I’m too picky. If you find someone decent, you could let me know."

Yu Tingwan thought she was too forwardly friendly.

The girl didn’t like interacting with strangers.

But she had a good heart.

"Indeed, I did see a handsome man the other day."

She spoke very earnestly, and sincerely.

Liu Yan was skeptical.

But she thought, since they’re from the same alley, it shouldn’t be a trick. At least, it’s more reliable than the matchmakers lusting for her money.

"Could you tell me a little about him?"

Liu Yan: "I’m really not young anymore. If you manage to make a match, you would surely accumulate virtue."

Yu Tingwan: "I don’t play matchmaker, nor do I know if the person is single. If you’re interested, go see. If not, don’t dwell on it."

The butcher, whose family situation wouldn’t be bad.

"I think, they wouldn’t likely want to marry in."

Liu Yan didn’t hesitate: "If they look good, everything’s negotiable. Just tell me about them."

So, Yu Tingwan politely left an address. Then she tapped off.

The girl had no idea her words would throw all the matchmakers into a frenzy, leaving them staring at each other in confusion.

"The third shop down Tong Street? If I’m not mistaken, that’s a butcher’s shop."

"You’re not mistaken! I even went to buy meat yesterday! Who is she talking about, does the butcher have a younger brother?"

"No, he’s an only child."

"So she’s talking about the butcher? Oh dear, that fierce-looking face scares me just thinking about it, and she had the nerve to suggest it. Is she trying to sabotage? Miss Liu, do you have a grudge against her? Don’t listen to her nonsense!"

Liu Yan’s brows furrowed tightly.

She looked at Yu Tingwan’s receding figure.

Very carefree.

Recollecting Yu Tingwan’s clear, radiant eyes.

Clearly not shrewd, obviously the type to be easily bullied. Unlike the calculating matchmakers.

She believed the matchmakers were deliberately saying that to stop her from pursuing it!

Truly malicious!

What’s wrong with a butcher?

He could very well be an extraordinary talent!

Imagining a delicate man, forced to expose himself to the elements, slicing meat and chopping bones, she felt quite empathetic.

Liu Yan thought, if it worked out, she would definitely let Yu Tingwan have the main seat!

Outside the prison.

A jailer brought out a criminal, and He Xuran was sentencing one.

Fu Meng lay sprawled, leisurely wagging its tail.

It flicked He Xuran’s leg.

He Xuran lowered his gaze, taking a moment to feed it a strip of jerky.

A flick again.

He Xuran fed another piece.

Apart from the cases with doubts, the process was quick and without delay.

The people stood quietly throughout, not causing any disruption for fear of interfering with the proceedings. Listening to He Xuran pronounce death penalties one after the other, their eyes only harbored hatred and the satisfaction of revenge.

Yang Weiweng stood behind He Xuran, noticing he was holding Lady Xiao’s complaint paper.

It already bore the confession fingerprint.

He had some acquaintance with the Wei Family and was sympathetic towards Lady Xiao’s plight, purposefully placing the complaint paper near the top before presenting it to He Xuran.

Finally, it was their turn.

When the dozens of He Family members were brought out, they looked utterly defeated, battered and worn, yet still clinging to life.

With the sounds of children crying, they were all trembling in fear.

Gone was the arrogance they had once displayed.

Yang Weiweng showed no pity, bowing to He Xuran before stepping forward to look down at the He Family.

"Since you admitted the crime as your doing, the officer cannot help but inquire further."

"Lady Wei was gentle and pregnant, why did you act so viciously against her?"

The He Family members glanced at each other.

Yang Weiweng: "Speak!"

Mrs. He quivered: "Lady Xiao was indeed good, but her family was impoverished."

"I’ve been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law for quite some time, but my son was infatuated with her beauty and I had no choice but to agree to her marrying in."

Arriving just in time, Yu Tingwan heard this and her face turned completely stern.
