The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 350 - 347: Oh, You’ve Gotten Yourself in Trouble Too?

Chapter 350: Chapter 347: Oh, You’ve Gotten Yourself in Trouble Too?

The rain grew heavier.

Yu Tingwan originally planned to take Shen Zhiyi back.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at Wei Zhao, feeling so agitated that she was gnashing her teeth, genuinely in distress.

She couldn’t avoid Wei Zhao, this King Yan, quickly enough.

"It’s not on the way, why bother taking a long detour? It’s better to arrange a carriage for me, or have someone send a message to my home for my mother to send someone to pick me up."

Yu Tingwan agreed.

As they left the elegant chamber, there was still a commotion next door.

An older man was fiercely defending his mistress.

"Your shrew of a wife, show me some face when we’re out. Keeping a mistress is no crime. Aren’t you embarrassed causing such a scene?"

The wife, with red eyes, pointed at the mistress adorned with gold and silver, "She’s just a tramp!"

Upon hearing this, the mistress was indignant.

Unable to keep a man yourself and you blame me? Yet, she dared not speak, covering her face with a handkerchief.

The wife screamed at the top of her lungs, "I’m the one who bore your children! I am the one who manages the household and takes care of your parents!"

The middle-aged man, embarrassed in front of a crowd, also grew angry, "Enough, that’s your duty as a wife, what you should do."

The woman was taken aback.

Yes, that’s what she was supposed to do.

But she just couldn’t swallow this grievance.

The onlookers joined in smoothing things over.

"For the sake of your children if nothing else. Aren’t men like that?"

"You ungrateful son, indulging outside, forgetting who gave birth to you? Hurry up, apologize to your wife and promise to cut off from that mistress. Take money to treat your mother’s illness!"

The older man took the opportunity to step down, "Yes, you’re right, all of you."

Only then was the wife satisfied, stepping forward to fiercely pull out the golden hairpin from the mistress’s head.

"Pah!"

She wiped away tears, annoyed, "Now come home with me."

Someone in the crowd immediately spoke up.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, a little marital conflict cleared up is no big deal."

Yu Tingwan didn’t listen to the commotion behind. After going downstairs, she prepared to settle the bill for the meal and arrange Shen Zhiyi’s return.

"When I came, I already sent the news of her being at the Drunken Pavilion to Xiao Huaian."

Yu Tingwan: ???

She turned back in astonishment.

"You knew?"

Wei Zhao looked indifferent.

"The cancellation of the engagement between the Chu and Shen families was so smooth due to Xiao Huaian’s involvement."

Just as they were about to discuss marriage, Chu Liulang got involved with Zhou Yurou, which was too coincidental.

Yu Tingwan found it hard to explain.

"Since you figured it out, why did you imprison her back then?"

Of course, it was because Wei Zhao found it bothersome.

He also wanted to warn the noble ladies of the Capital eyeing him to not waste their efforts on him, and at the same time...

Wei Zhao played with the girl’s soft and delicate hand, "He’s always acting dumb, playing the dandy, I just wanted to expose his true form, and then..."

He couldn’t stand Xiao Huaian like that either.

Acting to the point of believing himself.

He smiled, "Come to plead with me."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Really heartless.

"Just after imprisoning her, Xiao Huaian came."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Wei Zhao thought for a moment, troubled.

"But he didn’t plead with me."

Yu Tingwan hesitated, "Then... what did he do?"

"He asked me to imprison him too, arranged right next to Shen Zhiyi."

The reason he found was quite enough.

He righteously claimed he was helping Da Jin, helping him, by constantly keeping an eye on this spy.

Wei Zhao sneered, "Rather shameless, isn’t he?"

Yu Tingwan: "He is."

The two hadn’t left long when over half of the restaurant’s diners had already gone, but some stayed waiting for the rain to stop.

Xiao Huaian, after leaving the Imperial Palace, rushed over here, just reaching the third floor.

"Heir Xiao!"

Someone called him.

Xiao Huaian looked up to see a young gentleman in fine clothing approaching him obsequiously.

"Last time I invited you for drinks, but you didn’t come. It’s rare to meet today, you ought to do me this favor."

Xiao Huaian couldn’t recall who this person was.

Nor did he care to remember.

Either way, he was just one of his disreputable friends.

Xiao Huaian raised an eyebrow, "Not giving face today."

Despite the arrogance, the other person wasn’t offended.

In response, he quickly stepped aside to clear a path.

Seeing Xiao Huaian about to walk away, he remembered something and shouted again.

"Hey, Heir."

"The other day, the brothel received a batch of thin horses from Yangzhou, each prettily captivating, especially one called Yanyan, truly both beautiful and talented, her singing voice enough to melt one’s heart."

"You often visit the brothel, yet always complain about the mundane common flowers there, never staying overnight. When free someday, shall we visit together? If you take a liking, I’ll redeem her and send her to your residence."

Just as Xiao Huaian was about to speak, he noticed a gaze and looked over.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t know when she had leaned against the door.

Shen Zhiyi truly didn’t intend to eavesdrop, it was just that her maid had gone to ask the attendant for a pot of fresh tea and hadn’t returned yet.

Seeing Xiao Huaian look over, she wasn’t shy either.

"Heir, such good fortune you have."

Xiao Huaian was rather open towards her, "Do you want it?"

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Was she crazy?

Xiao Huaian clarified his purpose.

"I just ran into Wei family’s carriage on the way, Wei Zhao sent me over. Prison mate, aren’t you going back?"

Shen Zhiyi didn’t have much dealings with Xiao Huaian usually, but they did once share a cell.

However...

When Xiao Huaian entered the cell, he was annoying.

["Oh, you got in trouble too?"]

Later, she got engaged to Chu Liulang.

Shen Zhiyi wasn’t willing, and Xiao Huaian had to make sarcastic comments.

["This time in the Imperial College assessment, I heard Chu Liulang didn’t even make the top hundred. Not good in writing, not good in martial arts, such a waste, and he’s still ensnared in women, do you really fancy him?"]

Could she be pleased?

Even if she truly didn’t fancy him, but the engagement was set, without surprises, she’d be half a Chu Family member.

She couldn’t let an outsider criticize her fiancé.

She retorted for this.

["No need for Heir Xiao to worry about my matters. He didn’t make the top hundred, Heir you’re at the end."]

And then... Xiao Huaian fell silent.

It wasn’t clear how much time passed before his laid-back voice came.

["You don’t know, being second last isn’t easy."]

What nonsense.

Did Zhou Xuan in last place have any brains?

Seeing her quiet, Xiao Huaian squinted and turned to ask the richly dressed gentleman.

"Has a good voice?"

"Ye... yeah. Wouldn’t dare lie to the Heir. Sadly, she only sings for an incense stick’s time daily, resting once the time is up, half the brothel patrons these days go just for her."

Seeing her maid approach with the tea, Shen Zhiyi decided not to go down, but just listened to Xiao Huaian’s voice.

"But I prefer those off-key."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

Tsk, what taste.

Not even afraid of earache.

She glanced at Xiao Huaian, only to meet his gaze.

Xiao Huaian leisurely added, "The kind that’s unaware of itself."

The richly dressed gentleman: "... Tha... that’s a bit difficult to find."

Shen Zhiyi couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Xiao Huaian: "Very funny?"

"Yes."

Xiao Huaian looked at her, clicking his tongue.

"It is quite amusing."
