The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 65: I’ve Put Up with You for a Long Time!

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: I’ve Put Up with You for a Long Time!

At this moment, there was a knocking sound from outside. Hui Niang put down what she was holding and stood up, patting the bamboo scraps off her clothes.

The main door opened, and she saw it was Li Lian.

Hui Niang was about to ask what brought her here.

But upon seeing Li Lian’s heavy eyes and her hesitation to speak, her heart sank suddenly, and she tightly gripped her hem in unease.

Very quickly, Li Lian’s breakdown sobs echoed in the courtyard.

Inside the house, Yue Shan was startled by the noise and was about to rush out to see, when he noticed the man lying on the bed moving slightly.

Yue Shan’s eyes widened in surprise.

"You..."

But Wei Zhao didn’t even glance at him, his hair scattered messily as he got out of bed.

His face was devoid of color, shrouded in an indescribable aura of death.

Step by step, he walked to the window. Raising his hand, he gently nudged it with his fingertips, leaving the window slightly ajar.

The wind blew in, making the sounds outside even more distinct.

"I thought I should let you know beforehand, whether or not... at least you’d be prepared."

She spoke comforting words, but she was convinced that Yu Tingwan had little chance of survival.

Thinking about how such a good girl was gone just like that, without even leaving a whole body, made Li Lian feel miserable.

Hui Niang felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart, the pain was unspeakable. Tears fell like broken pearls rolling continuously.

She couldn’t believe it, and asked softly, "Wan Niang was fine before going out today, how could something happen to her?"

Seeing her this way, Li Lian’s eyes also reddened.

"It’s my fault."

Hui Niang’s chest felt heavily blocked, murmuring or perhaps questioning, "Why didn’t I stop her?"

"Such an obedient and sensible girl, how scared she must have been."

Regret surged within her: "Wan Niang just entered the household a few days ago? Before she could enjoy any blessings, she’s been living in fear with us all day. She married in because of my selfishness. It’s my fault, and now for Lang, she even risked her life. How can I... how can I face this?"

She cried mournfully.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Wei Zhao’s heart, his fingers trembled, unintentionally poking a hole in the paper window.

He couldn’t describe what he was feeling.

Very strange, his chest felt a bit tight.

In the next moment.

Outside, Li Lian hurriedly helped Hui Niang up who had fallen to the ground.

"Stop crying, stop crying, it might just be a misunderstanding. Old Man Zhou might have seen it wrong, it might not be the White Tiger after all. There haven’t been any sightings of tigers around our area."

Wei Zhao: ...

He was silent for a moment, retracting the emotions that shouldn’t belong to a dying man.

Inside, Yue Shan wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

These past few days with the Wei Family, Aunt Wan had been exceedingly kind to him.

He went to see Aunt Wan’s husband.

Wei Zhao lowered his eyelids, walking back to the bed unhurriedly.

Lying down again.

Not forgetting to cover himself with the quilt.

Yue Shan saw this and felt Wei Zhao’s steps carried a lightness as he returned.

"Uncle Wei."

He chased after him, "Don’t you feel any sadness at all?"

Wei Zhao half-heartedly replied, "Oh."

"Aunt Wan was so good to you!"

"Oh."

"It happened because of you!"

Wei Zhao yawned, knowing better than anyone that Yu Tingwan would not be in trouble.

He didn’t even want to say "oh" anymore.

————

In fact, Yu Tingwan was fine.

Just a while ago, Fu Meng bared its sharp fangs at her, glinting coldly in the light, seemingly about to bite her head off in the next instant.

But somehow, it stopped.

And thus led to the current scene.

The girl sitting in the snow hugged her knees, trembling all over.

The tall and majestic Fu Meng paced back and forth before her, occasionally scraping the ground and roaring anxiously, stopping to fix its sharp icy eyes on Yu Tingwan, pressing its wet nose close to her face and neck, sniffing over and over.

Seemingly trying to detect that faint, almost imperceptible, familiar scent.

The warm breath sprayed on Yu Tingwan, making her face as white as paper. She clutched her heart, trembling, closing her eyes, thinking she was about to be torn apart.

In the next moment, Fu Meng left, but soon returned, its round face approaching hers again.

It no longer sniffed her but gave her a lick.

Its slobber smeared across the girl’s face.

If not! If Yu Tingwan’s eyesight wasn’t intact, she’d think the beast wasn’t a fierce creature but a rogue!!!

Even as intelligent as she was, she couldn’t understand what madness this White Tiger was exhibiting!

Fu Meng seemed to confirm something. Its pace became more leisurely, and the hostility it carried lessened significantly.

There was a slight rustle in the front, the grass swaying gently.

Fu Meng leaped swiftly as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it returned with a blood-drenched wild chicken it had bitten.

Fu Meng squatted beside the girl, the earth seemed to tremble with its action.

It opened its mouth and tossed the lifeless chicken in, the sound of bones crunching with its chewing.

An unavoidable fate, she thought.

Yu Tingwan softened her breathing, inching slowly outward, attempting to increase the distance between her and Fu Meng.

She expected the White Tiger to rage.

But it didn’t.

It tilted its head to watch Yu Tingwan, as if observing a curious thing.

The girl always seized any slight opportunity.

Having regained some strength, she pushed down the rising doubts, jumped to her feet, and sprinted away.

She didn’t get far.

Fu Meng pressed her down again to the ground.

Yu Tingwan stood up again.

Pressed down again. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Stood up again.

Pressed down again.

Over and over.

Yu Tingwan felt hopeless: ...

"Why don’t...."

In utter defeat, she shouted loudly, "You just eat me instead!"

Truly, her anger was rising.

Perhaps perceiving her emotions, Fu Meng lifted its hefty paw, patting Yu Tingwan on the head.

This was the way Wei Zhao always patted it.

This was also how he showed friendliness.

Two pats.

But it didn’t know how to control its strength.

Golden spots danced before Yu Tingwan’s eyes, holding her about-to-be-shattered head.

In a daze, the girl’s collar was gripped by Fu Meng’s teeth, carrying her away, towards a pit.

Not the shallow pit from before, but a deep one.

After tossing her in, Fu Meng swayed its tail and went deeper into the mountain.

The pit was filled with thick snow, seeming like it had been dug for some time, and since the girl was wearing thick clothes, it didn’t hurt.

Yu Tingwan wiped her face fiercely, no time to rest.

If she didn’t leave now, when would she?

But... she discovered a serious problem.

The pit was too deep, she couldn’t climb out at all.

She huffed and puffed, trying for about an hour.

Fu Meng’s head reappeared at the pit’s edge.

Yu Tingwan gazed at it expressionlessly.

Fu Meng jumped down, carrying her back up again.

Lying on the ground once more, Yu Tingwan had never been so toyed with.

She wanted to die, but felt the one who should die was the tiger!

Unrestrained, she exclaimed, "I’ve put up with you for a long time!"

Fu Meng glared at her, then pushed a heap of things it’d gathered from the deep mountain towards her.

She looked down, stunned.

It was all precious ginseng, Lingzhi, Polygonum multiflorum...

Stacked into a small mountain, as if they were worthless.

Fu Meng roared into the air, once again lifted its paw. But the paw didn’t fall on the girl’s head.

It pointed towards the direction down the mountain, indicating that Yu Tingwan could leave.
