The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 331 - 328: It Might Just Save My Life

She saw Jiasan trembling all over, inexplicably uneasy.

Afraid that the mistress would be overwhelmed and fall ill, she quickly chased after her to persuade her.

"Please calm down. Master has treated you the same for ten years. The affection is genuine. If Master knew you came here disregarding your health, traveling such a difficult journey, he would..."

"There might be some misunderstanding, cannot say for sure. Even if not, the people are gone, Mistress should not dwell on it."

As she spoke, she gave the crowd a look.

The servants all stepped forward to help persuade.

"Who dares to stop me!"

Jiasan coldly said.

She pushed these people away, walking faster and faster towards that side.

But as she was about to get closer, she became afraid.

How could something go wrong?

Jumping into the river, why would one jump into the river?

Was she forced by someone, or did she jump because she couldn’t survive?

She didn’t know.

It’s said that mothers are strong, but she was cowardly.

Nor did she dare to ask Uncle Yan, or did she dare to listen.

This is winter, how cold must the river be?

From joy upon arrival to sorrow now, she too fell from the clouds to the ground.

Jiasan was having difficulty breathing.

She seemed to hear someone crying.

A child was crying.

Chaos beside her, everything was a mess around her.

Accompanied by the sound of disaster victims smashing the door outside, Nanny Meng’s voice was urgent.

"Mistress, you must push harder. The conditions are difficult now, but our little master is about to come out early."

Someone was shouting hoarsely.

"Mistress is bleeding, where is the doctor! Why was the doctor dispersed! Go find him! Go find him now!"

"Born, it’s a girl."

"Not good, Mistress has passed out. Bi Shui, you must keep a good watch on the little master."

Her vision began to blur, and her head started to hurt. She couldn’t tell what was real.

No, no, no, Qing Ying would be fine.

She preferred to deceive herself.

That was not Qing Ying.

After all these years of searching in and around Ze County, maybe Qing Ying was elsewhere?

Jiasan’s tone changed from trembling to unusually cold.

"Every spring, he, Gu Fuju, is often away five times out of ten. I know he is valued by the Holy Emperor, busy with official duties, and I never mind him missing Ah Wu’s birthday."

Accompanied by bitterness.

"But he always comes to Ze County. I don’t know what makes him so attached to this place, even more important than his daughter’s birthday."

"Now it is close to the end of the year, and without a word, he’s come again!"

She closed her eyes, as if unreasonably making trouble, or maybe just venting. One hand pressed against her heart, which had already started twitching, as if completely bleeding.

Jiasan was struggling to speak.

"Go."

At this moment, she actually hoped that Gu Fuju really had a new lover outside.

Anyone would do, as long as it’s not Qing Ying.

She refused to accept and gave up.

"Go see who it is, even if dead they make your master so worried."

Nanny Meng assumed she was in anger, but didn’t dare to go against her, only to obey orders.

But as she got closer step by step and saw the words on the tombstone, she turned pale with fright, and her legs went weak, causing her to fall to the ground.

Yu Tingwan finally saw the words on the tombstone clearly as well.

Written by Gu Fuju himself.

The grave of Qing Ying, beloved daughter of the Gu Family.

There was also a line of words following.

Fortunately fostered by the Yu Family, also named Tingwan.

Witnessing Nanny Meng’s reaction, Jiasan’s body swayed.

She murmured.

"Exactly."

"But it shouldn’t be like this."

"Qing Ying, mother’s Qing Ying."

She couldn’t breathe, darkness overcame her, and she collapsed.

The light in her vision was sealed off, clouds thickened around, and the scene began to collapse little by little.

————

Wei Zhao had just returned to the room, and Yu Tingwan had already woken from her dream.

She stood by the window in thin inner clothes, it was unknown how long she stood there or what she was thinking.

Hearing the sound, she didn’t return to her senses.

Wei Zhao, however, approached with furrowed brows.

"Another nightmare?"

Yu Tingwan: "It should be."

Putting other things aside...

She suppressed her fatigue, turned to look at Wei Zhao: "Can you swim?"

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "Teach me if you have time."

A person like her, even when days aren’t satisfactory, she would never take her own life.

After all, this life was saved by her parents. She cherishes it more than anyone.

Yu Tingwan didn’t know what exactly happened in the previous life. Where was Wei Zhao at that time?

But there was one thing, she still thought it was necessary.

Wei Zhao gently touched the corner of her eye, where she had cried and been startled in the dream, now red and swollen still.

Considering how Yu Tingwan often had nightmares, dreaming of her own death, and the words of Daoist Bao Pu, his eyes deepened.

"Why learn this?"

Yu Tingwan: "In case of emergency."

She spoke slowly: "You may not believe it."

She knew little about the past life, but the direction in this life was completely different.

But preparations should always be made, just in case?

Yu Tingwan: "Maybe it could save my life."

Wei Zhao: ...

He suppressed his emotions. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He couldn’t refuse any of Yu Tingwan’s requests.

"The weather is not cold, but the water is still cold. You, as a girl, should avoid it. When it gets warmer, I’ll take you to a countryside estate. There’s a stream there, clean and not too deep."

Evening meal hasn’t been used yet, but Wei Zhao had instructed the servants to bring it over.

"The mansion’s Bi Shui’s mind remains unclear. But ultimately, it isn’t suitable to keep staying, I’ve already sent her to the Gu Family."

Whether they choose to deal with her or not is up to them.

Yu Tingwan responded with a sound.

Wei Zhao pondered for a moment, then said: "In a few days the Duke Zhou Mansion will be celebrating a birth, and they will surely send an invitation to the Wei Family for the full moon banquet. I originally planned to let subordinates refuse."

But now these things have happened.

"To go or not to go, it’s your decision."

Yu Tingwan’s expression flickered with disgust.

But wait a minute.

A birth?

"How do you know the Duke Zhou Mansion will have a granddaughter?"

Wei Zhao: "The Empress’ people have already sent an Imperial Physician adept at diagnosing pregnancies to check the pregnant Young Madam who is about to give birth at the Duke Zhou Mansion. It’s a male fetus."

The child in the Crown Princess Consort’s belly is a female fetus.

With this statement, Yu Tingwan understood.

They intend to swap the two children. Duke Zhou and the Empress are indeed daring.

Wei Zhao: "I want to take you to join the fun."

If he says fun, then it must be a grand fun.

"The Duke Zhou Mansion has always been hospitable. I’d expect Cousin Yunling would also go for a drink."

Yu Tingwan’s eyelids twitched.

Wei Zhao gently stroked her porcelain-fair face: "The Princely Heir’s wife at the Duke Mansion happens to be a Chu Family daughter."

Yu Tingwan asked: "Which Chu Family?"

"The same Chu Family engaged to Zhou Yurou of the Ministry of Industry."

This, Yu Tingwan knew, it’s the Chu Liulang who broke off the engagement with Shen Zhiyi!

Wei Zhao: "The Duke Zhou Mansion is not the Chu Family. The Shen Family holds a lower status, they can’t afford to snub the Duke Zhou Mansion. They’ll have to attend the banquet."

Yu Tingwan: ...

One can imagine how bothered Shen Zhiyi would be.

If the Shen Family goes, as relatives by marriage to the Duke Zhou Mansion, the Chu Family has to go too.

If the Chu Family goes, how can the Ministry of Industry not go, given their engagement with the Chu Family?

Yu Tingwan took a deep breath, this lineup... indeed lively enough.

But obviously, it’s not enough.

Wei Zhao dropped another line: "The Princely Heir’s wife in the Duke Zhou Mansion carries the child of her elder brother, Chu Liulang."

Xiao Huaian said these distasteful things just for amusement.

Wei Zhao obviously meant for Yu Tingwan to be entertained while settling scores.

He said sarcastically: "Duke Zhou has painstakingly schemed to send this unknown so-called illustrious grandson to the Imperial Palace, with ambitions so evident to make him Emperor."

So chaotic.

Yu Tingwan: ...

Oh my.

What a mess.

For a moment, she felt a sense of relief.
