The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 199: You Want to Marry, Not Degrade Yourself

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: You Want to Marry, Not Degrade Yourself

Liu Yan was just about to turn and leave.

When she heard the voice, she stared in disbelief.

"You, you, you, you, you..."

"How did you do it!"

Yu Tingwan sighed, touched her cheek, and said wistfully: "Right. Looking like this, I’m troubled too."

Liu Yan: ...

She could just die.

She didn’t even want to hear the answer anymore.

"Where have you been these past few days? I’ve looked for you several times, but you weren’t home."

Yu Tingwan wondered: "What do you need me for?"

She wasn’t particularly close with Liu Yan.

Liu Yan: "Nothing much, just matched with another prospect and wanted you to see if we’re a good match."

"Then go find a fortune-teller."

"But I always feel you’re more reliable."

Liu Yan: "Fortune-telling only looks at the Eight Characters, mostly half-baked. It can’t tell if that person will deceive me into marriage or even kill me."

Yu Tingwan: ...

She was at a loss for words.

After all, it was really just a coincidence.

Liu Yan: "But I don’t need to bother you now."

She furrowed her brows: "It’s off."

"You must have heard about it."

Yu Tingwan: "Not really."

Liu Yan: "How could you not, your household crow talks nonstop every day!"

Yu Tingwan pressed her lips: "Today it only gossiped about the in-law and the elder brother-in-law’s affair. Don’t blame it unfairly."

Liu Yan looked at her, filled with melancholy.

Her eyes were full of grievance.

"It’s that elder brother-in-law."

Liu Yan: "The matchmaker introduced him to me."

Yu Tingwan: ???

What on earth?

Could something like this really happen?

Liu Yan didn’t hide anything; after all, it had already blown up, and Yu Tingwan would hear about it sooner or later.

"The man’s surname is Shang, from the town. Previously, he was engaged, but the young woman got sick before the wedding and passed away, so he mourned her for three years without moving on."

So later, his brothers all found brides, and he was still alone.

"I thought he was a man of feelings and loyalty."

Liu Yan: "He looked decent, and his side was willing for him to be a live-in son-in-law. I was about to finalize it but wanted you to look first."

Since Yu Tingwan wasn’t around, she kept delaying.

At this point, Liu Yan was full of fury.

"Who could have known!"

"He promised upfront to uphold marital fidelity once he entered my home, to be honest and straightforward. But then turned around and got involved with the sister-in-law!"

"No, they’d secretly been involved for half a year already."

Yu Tingwan no longer cared about the braised meat.

She rummaged around, and this time, unfortunately, there were no melon seeds.

The girl commented: "Even if his former fiancée hadn’t died of illness and was alive, she’d sooner or later be infuriated to death."

Liu Yan: "That’s right!"

"Luckily, I’ve been delaying it, or I would’ve been ruined."

Once she started, she couldn’t stop.

"You might not believe it, he even got the sister-in-law pregnant."

"The Shang Family plans to keep the child."

After all, for the elders, no matter how they fuss, it counts as a descendant of the Shang Family.

A wife having an affair with the elder brother, for the husband who isn’t quite a man, even though he hates it, at least he gets to be a father. It’s... a silver lining in his misfortune.

If this hadn’t happened to her, Liu Yan would find it intriguing. Maybe she’d even go and watch the drama.

But now that it’s her drama, how could she enjoy it?

Clearly, it’s someone else’s fault. Yet outside, there’s talk that she doesn’t have the fate for marriage, only meeting good-for-nothing scoundrels.

Yu Tingwan: "How did you find out?"

Liu Yan: "The woman came to my door."

Crying and whimpering like a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain.

"Begging for me to give her a way out, not to fight with her for the man."

Back then, Liu Yan was baffled. After all, she was interested in the elder brother from the Shang Family, not the second brother.

"She said she was diagnosed with a pregnancy, it’s a male fetus, and she didn’t want to remain a widow."

Liu Yan sensed something was off; before she could interrogate, the other woman explained clearly.

Said her husband was incompetent, just slobbering all over her on the bed.

Said she originally was a dutiful woman too, but people get lonely, so she made some mistakes, but she doesn’t regret it.

Said the elder brother-in-law looked delicate and frail but was incredibly vigorous in bed.

Asked Liu Yan to have mercy on her.

Because the elder brother, at that moment, didn’t heed past attachments and was determined to marry into the Liu Family as a son-in-law. If the elder brother leaves, what would she do?

Though the Shang Family wasn’t poor, they agreed for the eldest son to marry in mainly to avoid gossip.

Could Liu Yan tolerate this?

She could open so many shops; she wasn’t a pushover. She led a group of people to the Shang Family and gave the elder brother two slaps.

Liu Yan’s breath was unstable: "I was just balancing the accounts in the shop, and the Shang Family came over again."

Yu Tingwan: "It’s none of their business anymore, why do they want you?"

"The child isn’t yours."

"Could it be they want to blackmail you into supporting it?"

With that said, she summed it up knowingly: "Understood, looking for trouble."

Liu Yan: "The eldest from the Shang Family kneeled on the ground begging for my forgiveness, swore to the heavens he’d have nothing more to do with the sister-in-law."

"Mother Shang came too."

Liu Yan: "I thought she was nice, praised me to no end when we met before, was very satisfied. Spoke kindly, who knew she was just coming to intimidate me."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Home is still the best.

Being in the village, it’s pretty lonely for her too.

Even without Liu Yan saying, she could guess what Mother Shang said.

Nothing more than using her elder status to criticize Liu Yan.

Like showing herself too much, having a bad temper.

Also, being older, already a spinster, don’t be picky, this may be your last chance.

"You can count this as a blessing in disguise, you should be glad you saw through the true colors of these people."

Human nature is frightening in its ability to put on a facade.

Liu Yan said: "Right now, apart from being angry, I don’t feel too let down."

Yu Tingwan understood.

After all, being heartbroken over someone unworthy is foolish.

Liu Yan’s eyes lit up.

"I saw someone even more handsome!"

Yu Tingwan: ...

People say once bitten by a snake, one fears ropes for ten years. How can this Liu Family Girl not learn her lesson?

"I just dare to itch in my heart."

Yu Tingwan curiously asked: "Who is it?"

"I just caught a glimpse of him as I passed by the post station."

Yu Tingwan paused: "He Yushi?"

Liu Yan nodded firmly.

Yu Tingwan: ...

At this point, she could already maintain a calm attitude.

After all, they weren’t familiar.

"Do you think your head doesn’t fit on your neck?"

Liu Yan didn’t feel offended.

Because it was true.

What status does that He Yushi have!

"Indeed."

"He’s good-looking, but I don’t even dare to dream about him. He Yushi appears amiable, but how many people has he killed without batting an eye! Cold-hearted to the core. Though criminals deserve to die, it makes people uneasy. Even though the rain postponed executions these few days, you can still smell the blood."

Liu Yan got an idea: "Tomorrow I’ll go wait outside the academy obediently. Surely I’ll find someone suitable!"

Liu Yan: "I like scholars."

Yu Tingwan thought of Zhao Yu.

She blinked innocently, without hesitation: "Then I think you and He Yushi are quite a match."

Would Liu Yan fall for her provocations?

She just said no earlier, now she’s saying yes.

Liu Yan: "Knowing it’s a dead end ahead, should I rush over to greet King Yan? Are you hoping to see me fail."

Yu Tingwan: "Sorry."

"I forgot."

She was sincere: "You want to marry, not just find trouble."
