The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 132: Husband, Don’t You Think He’s Handsome?
Half a month later, the weather cleared up. It was still cold, but compared to before, there were signs of warming.
Ever since that night, Wei Zhao had become especially carefree.
Yu Tingwan had just finished brewing medicine and brought it out from the kitchen, only to see Wei Zhao standing by the window.
From taking medicine these past few days, his complexion gained some color and he looked much better. However, because of the acupuncture treatments, he endured a lot of pain and had no appetite to eat all day.
The wind blew, lifting Wei Zhao’s loose hair. He stood there cold and aloof, having lost a lot of weight.
Yet, he was able to get out of bed.
Even though he couldn’t stand for too long, and walked unsteadily.
Yu Tingwan frowned, just about to say it was cold and he should go back to bed, when a crow flew in from outside, circled around in the air, and then flew toward Wei Zhao.
It landed steadily.
Wei Zhao looked up and glanced at Yu Tingwan, openly untied the letter tied to the crow’s claw without any attempt to hide it.
He opened it and quickly scanned it.
After doing so, he destroyed the evidence right in front of Yu Tingwan.
Wei Zhao: "Did you see anything?"
Yu Tingwan brought the medicine over and uttered two words.
"No."
Wei Zhao chuckled softly: "Alright."
Anyway, Yu Tingwan wasn’t blind, she just refused to admit it, so let her be stubborn.
Since Hui Niang left, the meals were prepared by Yu Tingwan. The girl’s cooking skills weren’t great, and couldn’t make anything fancy, but it was still edible.
Seeing him drink the medicine, Yu Tingwan took the basket, fetched the wheelchair from the corner, and pushed Wei Zhao outside.
Passing by the next door, the Zhao family’s door was open, and Lady Zhao was sweeping the yard with a broom.
Hearing the sound, she looked up. Seeing Wei Zhao wrapped tightly in the wheelchair, she wasn’t surprised.
"Going to buy groceries again?"
Lady Zhao teased, "Newlyweds truly are affectionate, even going out to buy groceries together."
Yu Tingwan wasn’t shy, seriously nodded.
"You’re right, Auntie, I agree."
She glanced around: "Where’s Nannan?"
Lady Zhao said: "Recently, fewer people have come to Ze County to file complaints, and those needing registration have mostly completed it. The post station isn’t as busy. Your Uncle Zhao has some spare time. Nannan insisted on going out, so he took her for a walk."
Knowing the Wei family had also registered, she disclosed: "The nobles from the Capital will arrive today, and now the outside of the prison is crowded, everyone eager for justice."
Yu Tingwan had a sense of the situation, thanked her and exchanged a few more words, then continued to push Wei Zhao forward.
The alley was deep, housing four families, Zhao and Wei families were close in the back while the front two houses near the street, Yu Tingwan never interacted with.
When passing by, the doors of those two houses were always closed.
She had inquired specifically.
Wang Yazi, who sold her the house, did not dare to hide anything.
He said the first family’s surname was Liu, running several tea shops, doing small business, usually living at the shop, and rarely returning home.
The second family had moved shortly after she moved in.
However, it wasn’t left empty, being bought by a pair of brothers who leave early and return late. Wang Yazi wasn’t sure of the details.
Lady Zhao suddenly remembered something and ran out.
"Wan Niang, wait a moment."
Yu Tingwan stopped her steps.
Lady Zhao hurried up, checking around: "Oh my forgetfulness, I almost forgot. The Liu family in our alley will move back in tomorrow."
Yu Tingwan asked: "Auntie means since we’ll see each other often, I should go greet them later?"
"Please don’t!"
Lady Zhao quickly spoke: "You should be cautious."
"Although the Liu family does well in business, their daughter is actually the one handling everything. She’s very strong-willed, and the entire Liu family listens to her. She’s picky too, disliking the matches introduced by matchmakers, never married, and became an old maid against her wishes."
"If she sets her sights on your man, what then? It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. In the future, when going out, it’s best to cover his face."
Wei Zhao showed no reaction.
Yu Tingwan waved her hand after hearing this: "I was wondering what the matter was."
"Auntie, don’t worry."
Not to mention Wei Zhao’s status, given his appearance, if the Liu Family Girl is that choosy, she wouldn’t be interested in him at all.
Even if she did, it wouldn’t be Wei Zhao who suffers.
Lady Zhao returned in a daze.
Yu Tingwan didn’t pay any attention to the Liu Family Girl, and said to Wei Zhao: "The alley ahead has been chaotic ever since they lost their rice jar and money, constantly noisy. Luckily, our area is quiet. The Zhao family next door is good company, even though I haven’t interacted with the families in front, there’s no trouble from them either."
"I just don’t know what the deal is with that pair of brothers."
Wei Zhao: "Want to know?"
Yu Tingwan: "Huh?"
Wei Zhao: "They’re my people."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Wei Zhao: "You’ve met them before, they made the hidden weapons for you then."
Yu Tingwan was about to cover his mouth.
Wei Zhao calmly added: "They were also dispatched by me to handle some matters, including secretly escorting your parents out of Ze County."
Yu Tingwan’s hand stopped mid-air.
She had been worrying recently.
["The elders should have arrived by now, I wonder what the situation is. I mentioned before departing, no matter how difficult it is, send a message. Why is there still no news?"]
["Had I known, I would’ve gone too, letting mom look after you at home."]
["Dad is sometimes bound by too many rules and filial piety, otherwise when Lady Xiao’s issue happened, Wei Shen..."]
She quickly changed her words.
["For your matter, simple separation isn’t enough; it should be complete severance."]
["If I were dad, if I suffer, no one else should get away with it either. Once conflicts arise, Mrs. Wei can’t use childbirth as leverage against me. I’d have long fallen out with the main household. Whatever anyone says wouldn’t work."]
["In life, at times, one must be ruthless and unreasonable. I can, but I fear uncle and aunt, along with dad and mom, can’t."]
Now, hearing Wei Zhao say he dispatched people, Yu Tingwan was completely relieved.
The street was as bustling as always.
Yu Tingwan headed straight for the butcher’s shop.
The county folk had better living conditions than villagers, craving meat once a month or so.
By the time it was Yu Tingwan’s turn, there wasn’t much pork left.
The best pork belly was sold out.
But there were two pork bones left.
No one wanted to buy it since it lacked meat.
But last time, Hui Niang slow-cooked the bones until the soup was milky white; it was incredibly delicious, with the marrow being the best part.
Yu Tingwan decided to buy it.
"I’ll take all the pork bones, chop them for me."
The butcher looked rough, with bulging muscles, wielding a sharp cleaver, he chopped away on the chopping board.
Yu Tingwan paid, put the pork bones in the basket, and moved on.
"Husband, is there any vegetable you’d like?"
Wei Zhao spoke in a bland tone.
"You looked at that butcher four times just now."
Yu Tingwan: "Huh?"
Yu Tingwan: "Husband, don’t you think he’s handsome?"
