The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 196: Am I as Infuriating as You?

The cold wind blew, carrying a hint of dampness.

Yu Tingwan waited at the corner, and soon a carriage came rushing towards her and slowly stopped.

Shunzi jumped down, brought over a footstool, and took the umbrella from her hand.

She lifted the curtain, bent down, and went inside, only to find Wei Zhao there holding a book, which surprised her.

"Why are you here too?"

Wei Zhao leaned against the carriage, looking tired and lazy, with a warmer on his lap, and slowly raised his eyes: "Why can’t I be here?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Wei Zhao wearily: "If I remember correctly, we’re going down the mountain together."

Yu Tingwan: ...

The man spoke sarcastically: "Or do you just not want to see me."

Ever since that night, he had been like this. Yu Tingwan found it somewhat difficult to handle.

Such a fragile and sensitive man.

However, Yu Tingwan was... quite into it.

She didn’t even think Wei Zhao was being too unreasonable.

After all... she had been like this when she was young.

The girl sat down beside him and turned her head.

She was exceedingly beautiful, with unpainted lips. When she focused intently on someone, her watery eyes shimmered as if filled with emotion.

At this moment, her willow eyebrows were slightly knitted, as if she had no way to deal with him.

Besides being irresponsible, she had truly given Wei Zhao everything she could.

She really doted on him!!!

The girl spoke patiently and softly: "Can’t you speak properly?"

He couldn’t be blamed.

Wei Zhao wasn’t originally planning to go down the mountain. But after receiving a secret letter, he changed his mind, sent her to the Li Family’s tailor shop, asked how long she’d roughly be, and went off to handle his affairs.

Yu Tingwan figured that if Wei Zhao were to be involved, it wouldn’t be a small matter.

She didn’t stay long at the tailor shop. She assumed it was likely that Shunzi would send Wei Zhao off and then come back to pick her up.

Seeing him, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

Wei Zhao said grumpily, "Can I be more annoying than you?"

Yu Tingwan: "It’s been so many days..."

He sighed sadly: "But it hasn’t passed for me."

The wheels rolled forward, heading towards the Wei family.

Because of the rain, the village was situated at the foot of the mountain, making it too damp, which was unfavorable for healing wounds.

Just as they were about to pass through the alley, someone braved the rain to block the road.

Shunzi urgently pulled on the reins, causing the horse to neigh and raise its front hooves high.

The carriage came to an abrupt halt.

Yu Tingwan was thrown forward.

If she was like this, how much more so would Wei Zhao be.

Had it not been for the girl’s quick reflexes, Wei Zhao might have been sent flying into the small table brewing the tea.

Yu Tingwan felt... a lingering fear.

Her thick skin wouldn’t mind a splash of hot water, but Wei Zhao, so delicate, would be disastrous?

"It’s my fault."

Outside, Shunzi’s voice was heard.

Then came a familiar voice.

"Wan Niang."

"Wan Niang, I’ve finally waited for you."

The girl frowned, lifted the curtain, and went out.

She looked at Hu Dalang, who was wearing a straw raincoat, and was momentarily speechless.

Surprised?

Not exactly surprised.

She seemed to have anticipated that Hu Dalang would eventually come looking for her.

Hu Dalang, shivering from the cold, spoke in a muffled and hoarse voice: "I begged Mr. Yang for the address and inquired all the way here."

"Rest assured, I haven’t caused trouble at the Wei family, just wanted to see you."

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyelids and told Shunzi, "Take your master back first."

She picked up a nearby umbrella, opened it, and got off the carriage.

Shunzi glanced at Yu Tingwan, and seeing Wei Zhao’s lack of movement in the carriage, he then drove away.

The street was mostly deserted.

It was raining, and no vendors were in sight. Yu Tingwan only heard the sound of rain hitting the umbrella.

Seeing that Yu Tingwan was willing to meet him, a look of hope flashed in Hu Dalang’s eyes. He intended to step forward, but in the moment of nearing her, he suddenly drew back his hand.

Awkward and uneasy.

"I..."

He smiled bitterly, "Mother has been taken away."

Yu Tingwan remained calm: "She deserves it."

Hu Dalang hurriedly said, "She must know she’s wrong now, and like Father, sincerely regrets. Don’t you want to show some leniency?"

"When will the cycle of revenge end? Wan Niang, your heart shouldn’t be so hard."

Yu Tingwan’s expression was calm, her gaze falling on the dark sky above.

"If I were hard-hearted, I would have had them take Mrs. Xiao away too."

Mrs. Xiao wasn’t the best of people.

But in this matter, she wasn’t involved at all from start to finish.

Although she had often troubled Yu Tingwan, the girl hadn’t been seriously affected and retaliated every single time.

Yu Tingwan detested Mrs. Wang’s wickedness; Hu Dazhu’s selfishness and cold-heartedness were facts. However, she always acted rightly, not doing anything callously wicked.

Her parents made her study, hoping she’d be sensible and not become such a person.

"We won’t stop Shunzi; you’ve already been poisoned into silence."

Mrs. Wang, Hu Dazhu, and Hu Yaozu had all been given medicine to silence them, unable to speak.

Mrs. Xiao could speak, but she wouldn’t dare utter a single word.

But she had a sharp tongue. After this incident, she’d likely curse the Hu family all the time, harming herself too.

The scene must have been chaotic.

"Do you say they sincerely regret it?"

Yu Tingwan found it amusing.

"Doesn’t saying such things burn your mouth?"

"Even if they truly regret it, can my mother’s sufferings be lightly erased with mere words?"

"You’ve never experienced my pain, so why should I be kind?"

"They tormented my mother to a fate worse than death; why should I show mercy?"

Her father, who was so protective of his children, hadn’t gone to the Hu family to settle accounts in his lifetime, to sever all ties completely, to have no further involvement with the Hu family.

Yet, Yu Tingwan eventually went to the Hu family.

The entanglement was destined.

"Heaven has cycles, and one reaps the consequences of one’s actions, this is retribution."

Hu Dalang looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, clearly not having rested these past few days.

In these few days, he had begged everyone he could.

He went to the Post Station in Ze County, hoping for the government to intervene, but once they heard the name Hu, their attitude changed, refusing to take the case.

Completely at a dead end.

Hu Dalang hugged his head and cried bitterly: "If I had known this, I shouldn’t have let you into the house."

Hu Dalang mumbled: "My mother was right, you should have been kicked out and left with nowhere to go, starve to death, and then there wouldn’t be these troubles!"

Yu Tingwan laughed indifferently, not bothered at all by his words.

"The fact that you can stand here in front of me saying these things, not having been thrown out, is only because you took care of me over the years."

This was a fact.

She acknowledged it.

She had nearly drowned, fell critically ill, and it was indeed Hu Dalang who brewed medicine by her bedside for three days.

Yu Tingwan: "I used to be grateful to you, but now..."

Her tone became indifferent: "This is the last time, if there’s a next time, I won’t be lenient."

Hu Dalang broke down into tears.

"But Erlang, he’s thin-skinned, and with the parents’ atonement, it’s just revenge against revenge, but Erlang can’t handle it. He’s studied for so many years, about to make a name for himself, you’re about to ruin him."

"He took a few slaps, his head was almost twisted, and now he can barely speak."

"He wasn’t aware, he should be innocent."

Yu Tingwan laughed.

"Innocent?"

"Despite that face of his, always being lewd, disgusting to see. Just because he carries the blood of Mrs. Wang and Hu Dazhu, he’s not innocent."

"I consider myself a reasonable person, but swallowing insults and grievances? No."
