The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 131: Such a Crybaby!

The night was deep, the moonlight like water, and the biting chill of deep winter was relentless.

On the other side of the wall, Yu Tingwan leaned against the door, her expression indistinguishable, lost in thought for quite some time.

She confirmed it with her own eyes.

Her heart was pounding, beating too fast.

These past few days, what she heard the most outside was that General Wei Zhao’s tiger lingered in Ze County.

His identity was obvious.

Perhaps she had long suspected it, though not absurd at this moment, it was enough to give Yu Tingwan a headache.

Such a formidable entity.

And yet... yet in her past life she and he...

However, the only comforting thing was that after sending off Wei Shouzhong and Hui Niang, Wei Zhao suddenly said something as the girl felt uneasy.

— They’ll never come to harm.

It became a reassurance.

Not in vain for the kindness Hui Niang and Wei Shouzhong had shown him over these days.

Finally managing to sort out her complicated emotions, she returned to the room with her usual expression. As if nothing had happened.

Wei Zhao stared at her intently, rolled with inexplicable emotions: "It seems there’s a knock at the door outside."

Yu Tingwan: "No."

Wei Zhao: "I heard it."

Yu Tingwan: "Then you must have misheard."

Wei Zhao originally thought there was no rush; talking was just a matter of time.

But seeing Yu Tingwan like that affected him too.

It seemed... that as long as he stayed at the Wei Family for a day, she’d treat him as a husband. But if he were to leave someday, Yu Tingwan would never utter a word to urge him to stay.

The girl flirted with him daily, drawing him in step by step. Yet she could easily withdraw at any moment.

Wei Zhao sat on the bed, playing with a red ruby under the night lamp, its light almost dazzling Yu Tingwan’s eyes.

His hands were as long and smooth as jade, not at all inferior.

Without lifting his head, Wei Zhao spoke in a still flat tone.

"This was found in the private vault of the county officials in Ze County."

Yu Tingwan: ...

She didn’t ask!

She didn’t want to know!

Clearly, it wasn’t there during the day!

Who on earth gave it to you!

Mentioning the County Magistrate’s private vault, Wei Zhao lowered his eyes: "He’s fairly poor."

"His private vault isn’t even half the size of the Dong Family’s."

Yu Tingwan: Ah??

Indeed, it’s a bit pitiful in comparison.

Wei Zhao murmured: "But it has its uniqueness."

Yu Tingwan grew increasingly curious. Yet after Wei Zhao said that, he stopped talking.

Clearly, he was teasing her!

Yu Tingwan frowned tightly: "What uniqueness?"

Wei Zhao: "The wall is hollow."

That is indeed interesting.

"Is there gold buried inside?"

"Wrong."

Wei Zhao: "Four sets of human bones, cut into pieces, scattered in four places."

"Then I might have guessed who they are."

The girl sat upright: "Earlier, the County Magistrate’s son abducted a girl in the street. Her family didn’t agree, followed her but then disappeared. Probably them."

It’s utterly heartless.

Wei Zhao came to live from amidst the dead, seeing nothing unusual in this. Seeing the girl so unperturbed made him feel at ease.

"The ruby is for you, to make earrings. Wear it for now, until we return to Shangjing..."

Yu Tingwan interrupted expressionlessly: "Reflect on yourself."

Wei Zhao did reflect.

It seems there were indeed some taboos...

Yu Tingwan strode forward, her tone laden with resentment: "We’ve been bedmates for quite some time, yet besides what we should do, what else haven’t we done?"

"How could my husband not know I don’t have pierced ears!"

In Da Jin, baby girls have their ears pierced on their full-month day.

But Yu Tingwan’s weren’t.

Her parents said she cried too terribly at that time, and couldn’t bear it so kept delaying.

When the girl grew older and felt the pain, she became more uncooperative.

Wei Zhao gazed at her earlobes presented directly under his eyelids silently.

Very pale.

And plump.

Wei Zhao wasn’t quirky.

Yet, a thought surfaced.

Not knowing what it would taste like if he licked or sucked them.

He’d never seen Yu Tingwan wear earrings, assuming she hadn’t bought any.

While Wei Zhao wasn’t entirely honest, even with wandering thoughts, he was particularly prudent in his dealings with Yu Tingwan.

Until they were utterly candid, he wouldn’t let Yu Tingwan muddle through.

Though, indeed, this was his fault.

Wei Zhao acknowledged.

But what do you mean doing what we should, but having done everything else?

Forget it.

No confidence to dispute.

Yu Tingwan took advantage of the topic: "All this time, it seems I’ve been mistaken."

Wei Zhao: ... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Wondered how the conversation skewed.

The window paper wasn’t pierced and Yu Tingwan even lectured him.

Wei Zhao: "Going out tomorrow?"

Yu Tingwan extinguished the lamp, tucked in the quilt: "No."

She didn’t want to move.

Wei Zhao pondered: "Then when you do go out, let me know."

Yu Tingwan: "Why?"

"Buy me some paper and pens."

Yu Tingwan: !!!

How dare he say such a thing!

The house initially didn’t have them, but now what’s on the desk!

She hadn’t bought any, let alone Hui Niang or Wei Shouzhong.

Who had come to the house? Except Mr. Zhao next door and Elder Ge.

But Mr. Zhao’s family was thrifty.

That paper and pen appeared to be expensive!

It could only have been gifted by Elder Ge.

Not buying paper and pens; clearly pointing at her since entering the house!

These days, observing the man’s emotions, Yu Tingwan indeed noticed but never imagined he was so... impatient.

Within the dark room, she turned her head, unable to see the man’s face. Yet clearly feeling his gaze... seeing her act oblivious.

Yu Tingwan remained expressionless.

"Okay."

Yu Tingwan smiled: "There’s none at home, it’s time to add some."

Wei Zhao: ...

Yu Tingwan: "Anything else my husband wants?"

Wei Zhao spoke lightly: "On the desk..."

The girl quickly interrupted: "Is there anything? I didn’t see anything."

Wei Zhao: "There are silver notes worth a thousand taels."

Yu Tingwan: ??

Why not say so earlier!

Her eyes lit up as she abruptly sat up.

"Really?"

Reacted strongly.

Now, how could the girl sit still. Jumping up, putting on her shoes, opening the Luminous Pearl to illuminate, she strode forward.

The items on the desk were scarce.

Except the tea set, a plate of snacks, only the paper and pens were conspicuously placed.

Wei Zhao turned slightly, his dark eyes seemingly surging with some emotion, as if capable of swallowing someone: "Found them?"

"No."

Wei Zhao hinted: "Couldn’t you have seen something else."

Yu Tingwan took a deep breath, innocent: "No, I haven’t."

Leading to a self-deprecating remark from the latter.

"Alright."

Yu Tingwan walked back calmly, lay down calmly again, striving to shut her eyes in an attempt to sleep.

The room fell into eerie silence.

Moonlight clear, fell through the window lattice leaving a pool of clarity.

Everything was so peaceful and quiet.

Yet beneath it resembled turbulent waves brewing.

Yu Tingwan heard her own shallow breaths.

No idea how much time passed.

Wei Zhao got hit.

He wanted to dodge, but Yu Tingwan suddenly flipped him over, pinning tightly, and hammered ten times.

Yu Tingwan grabbed his collar: "You tease me!"

"The money? A thousand taels! You bring it out!"

The more she thought, the more upset she became; it couldn’t help but grab someone to vent!

He didn’t resist but murmured: "It really hurts."

"Serves you right, see if you dare next time!"

Wei Zhao looked at the girl almost mounted on him: "Get down."

He was naturally handsome, now looking pale, his ink-black hair scattered, his collar wrinkled in disarray, resembling a delicate flower at her mercy.

He looked listless, but his voice seemed to carry hooks.

"You’ll crush me."

Such a display of delicacy!
