The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 127: No One Can Touch You

Wei Zhao’s tone was flat.

It seemed as if this Luminous Pearl was merely an ordinary object for illumination to him, nothing special.

Yu Tingwan bent down to pick it up, hefting it slightly, filled with amazement and astonishment.

After all, she had only heard about it.

This was her first time seeing it.

But the young woman frowned, forced to contemplate deeply.

"The Dong Family, no matter how powerful, is after all just a business family. Once out of Ze County, they’re nothing. Although I haven’t seen much of the world, I know such a thing shouldn’t be something a mere small country squire could obtain through legitimate means."

Wei Zhao had not expected this reaction from her.

There was admiration in his eyes.

"What you said is correct. The Dong Family deals in ceramics publicly, but they secretly harbor a lot of villains, and most of their money cannot see the light of day."

Money for doing deeds.

Some for collecting debts.

Some for punishing enemies.

As long as the buyer pays enough, they would even commit murder and arson.

They wouldn’t leave too many traces and risks, having formed relationships with the Government, offering generous tributes. Even if the cause of death was suspicious or mistakes occurred along the way, someone would cover it up.

It’s extremely dirty inside.

Now that the Dong Family has collapsed, those villains, seeing the unfavorable situation, all ran away.

Otherwise, why stupidly wait to be caught?

The Luminous Pearl was one of the rewards.

However, according to what Wei Zhao knew, the Luminous Pearl that He Xuran from the He Family in Shangjing flaunted before him last time wasn’t as large as this one.

Villains?

Why does the Dong Family harbor villains?

It was Yu Tingwan’s first time knowing this, inevitably shocked.

She no longer doubted the truth of Wei Zhao’s words.

Yet, she was unwilling to ask more.

Neither did she want to know things she shouldn’t know.

She was silent for a long time, as if nothing had happened: "Then I’ll accept it."

Saying this, she found a box, put it away, and placed it on the bedside.

The girl took her clothes and waved her hand at Wei Zhao before heading to bathe.

Wei Zhao: ...

"Do you have nothing to say to me?"

Through a screen, the girl’s voice came softly, with a touch of dismissiveness: "Alright, I like it very much."

Wei Zhao: ...

It’s hard to tell.

He dared to say if what rolled out was a gold ingot, Yu Tingwan definitely wouldn’t behave like this!

The charcoal fire in the room was warm enough that Yu Tingwan didn’t feel cold even when she took off her clothes.

She was fond of cleanliness, which wasn’t always possible before, but after marrying into the Wei Family, she would take a bath. Her parents-in-law were considerate, not only refraining from calling her wasteful but also helping to boil water.

She got into the bath barrel.

Wei Shen had been taking medicine these days, with significant changes, but his complexion indeed improved a lot compared to before.

She may not understand the pulse, yet she felt that his pulse was much stronger than when she first came to Ze County.

The warm steam enveloped her, her jade body seemingly hidden in the mist.

Yu Tingwan sighed comfortably.

She closed her eyes, intending to soak for a while.

Her fair and tender face turned rosy from the heat.

Suddenly, a cold, relentless voice pierced through her like a needle, disturbing her heart as if penetrating the barriers of a past life.

"Hmm? Who dares to plead? A common maid kept by your side doesn’t matter. Yet someone moved his emotions..."

"Someone, take this girl down immediately!"

This voice carried an aura of authority and a chilling, ruthless killing intent.

Yu Tingwan inexplicably shivered, fear spreading from her heart.

She didn’t bother applying the fragrant balm after washing.

She went straight to bed, lying down beside Wei Zhao.

The girl shivered, drawing close to him.

Wei Zhao frowned: "What’s wrong?"

Yu Tingwan: "You may not believe it,"

She: "Someone wants to harm me."

Wei Zhao without hesitation: "I do not."

Yu Tingwan: ???

I didn’t mean you!

Is that appropriate!!

Wei Zhao did not push her away, with some effort covering the girl with a quilt, his tone was calm yet reassuring: "Rest assured, no one in this world can harm you in the slightest."

————

Early the next morning.

The Wei Family was having breakfast, and there was some commotion next door.

Mr. Chu came very early.

It was Hu Yaozu’s first visit, bringing large and small gifts.

Sparing no expense, if Mr. Zhao valued material possessions, he had students capable enough to offer gold and jade.

In his hands were packages of lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longans, and freshly cut meat and celery.

This was the most common apprenticeship gift in Da Jin.

The Zhao couple was talking inside the house, and hearing the noise, they exchanged a glance and walked out tactfully.

As soon as they stepped outside, Lady Zhao saw Hu Yaozu squatting in front of Nannan in the yard, offering her candy from his pocket.

The little girl didn’t seem shy at all, looking at Hu Yaozu with shining eyes, smiling, and even wanting him to hold her.

Lady Zhao wasn’t happy! She hurriedly stepped forward, snatched her daughter away.

Raising her voice for once.

"How many times have I told you? Outsiders can be dangerous, don’t just accept things from strangers carelessly."

Nannan was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Mr. Chu was stunned, hurriedly saying: "Sister-in-law, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"This is Hu Yaozu, Zhao must have mentioned him to you."

Hu Yaozu hurriedly said: "It’s my fault."

He bowed to Lady Zhao: "I apologize to you."

He had clear features, wore a neat scholar’s robe, stood with a straight back, and his smile was both shy and warm.

Not arguing but admitting fault directly. Such an attitude was enough to lower people’s defenses.

In the past, Lady Zhao would have liked such a scholar.

But now...

This person seemed not simple at all!

He might be pretending!

Mr. Zhao bowed to Mr. Chu: "It is my wife being overly emotional. This is our precious daughter, whom we cherish dearly. There are kidnappers in the county. Suddenly seeing a stranger at home, any parent would be alarmed."

Mr. Chu smoothed things over: "Quite so, quite so."

"It’s just that Nannan is so lovely that Hu Yaozu and I couldn’t help but adore her."

Spare me! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The couple had no intention of inviting them inside for talks, nor did they bring out chairs for them to sit.

They all stood in the yard.

Lady Zhao, comforting her daughter, handed her a piece of dessert given by the neighbors.

"Mr. Chu, aren’t you a scholar of the classics?"

"Though you and my husband know each other, it’s not like you’re close. How come you came in when you saw our door open, without even a greeting?"

"This is improper, isn’t it."

Mr. Chu and Hu Yaozu were at a loss.

The words left no room for complaint.

But it wasn’t a high-society house, there weren’t such strict rules. The main door was open, they came in chatting with the child, it was nothing, they hadn’t even had the chance to call out.

Mr. Chu couldn’t argue with a woman, so he looked at Mr. Zhao.

Hoping he would help say a few words.

Mr. Zhao did speak, his tone carrying reproach.

"Indeed, Mr. Chu is at fault."

Mr. Chu: ???

Lady Zhao asked: "Why bring gifts?"

She glanced at the packages Hu Yaozu held.

"This..."

Her words were blunt: "There’s no need to rush, wait till my husband agrees to take you as a student, then it won’t be too late to prepare these."
