The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 105: Did He Offend Yu Tingwan Again?
Yu Tingwan paused slightly.
The words about a divorce agreement, each going their separate ways, were just pretty words for others to hear.
The girl had a bad temper.
She remembered those who treated her well, but she certainly wouldn’t let those who treated her poorly get away with it.
People don’t come to this world just to suffer; their own comfort matters most.
If she were Lady Xiao and really received a divorce agreement, she’d probably curse the other party to die every day upon opening her eyes.
The whole family should die.
The world is unfair, and people only castigate women.
They would say.
Look, she’s about to give birth yet got kicked out; she must have poor morals and be flawed. Even the He Family didn’t want the child, maybe she cheated, and the child isn’t He Family’s.
Divorced women, instead of receiving pity, are met with endless criticism and slander, making it impossible to live in this society.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned: "Do you know who did it?"
Yu Tingwan: "I don’t know."
"We don’t even know why the He Family wanted to ruthlessly kill Lady Xiao."
She took a deep breath: "Maybe they just wanted to kill."
"However, as a common woman, I’m truly puzzled. Even if a three-year-old gets hurt, they know to cry. Let alone Lady Xiao. There’s no way everyone in the He Family was blind and deaf. If anyone stepped forward to stop it, it wouldn’t have..."
Yu Tingwan paused slightly.
"I believe the entire He Family is implicated."
"At that time, the Government Office received benefits and didn’t investigate. They even beat my uncle harshly and warned us not to make trouble. The He Family was arrogant and overbearing, boldly claiming they killed the person and that the He Family was the law. They told us to accept our misfortune. With such conduct, I’m afraid the lives taken by the He Family are countless."
Yu Tingwan said gently: "I think, someone who can harm even his wife and own flesh and blood deserves to be cut into pieces."
She thought for a moment and felt it wasn’t enough.
"By the way, the He Family previously drank at the Dong Family’s house. The two families are quite close."
"Regarding General Wei, even the Holy Emperor allowed the nation to mourn together. How could those people not know?"
"The Dong Family’s firecrackers were bought by the He Family from afar, saying it was for a celebration."
Xiao Huaian’s expression changed.
He said word by word: "Celebration?"
Yu Tingwan looked at Xiao Huaian, genuinely surprised that he was the Heir of Marquis Zhongyong.
She couldn’t understand why, with such a status, he would willingly come to Ze County to be the County Magistrate?
Wei Shen didn’t seem like someone who could know a person of such status either.
Yu Tingwan felt a sudden strangeness in her heart.
Her eyes flickered, but she suppressed it temporarily.
Yu Tingwan: "Yes."
"After all..."
"Speak!"
"After all, General Wei’s coffin passed right in front, it’s such bad luck, it needs to be cleared away."
Xiao Huaian couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted at the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "Are you competent or not? Can you write words? Focus on the key points!"
————
The night wind was bleak.
Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang didn’t linger any longer.
All they had to do was wait.
Wait for the Court to send people to investigate, wait for the truth to come to light, wait for the He Family to be brought to justice, so they could report to the spirits of the deceased.
Rong Di followed behind, keeping a distance not too far, not too close. Despite his large build, he moved without making a sound, not letting the mother and daughter-in-law notice.
Along the way, Hui Niang and Yu Tingwan didn’t talk much.
Hui Niang was both sad and joyful, immersed in the thought of reversing Lady Xiao’s case.
Yu Tingwan was in deep thought.
Reflecting on the strangeness of this period.
If one were to think about certain things, they’re indeed very strange.
Rong Di didn’t know how long it had been when he suddenly heard Yu Tingwan’s voice ahead.
"Mother."
Yu Tingwan: "Has there been a big change in husband from before?"
Rong Di suddenly had a bad premonition.
Hui Niang was puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
Yu Tingwan took her hand but didn’t speak.
She couldn’t just say she suddenly felt Wei Shen didn’t seem like Wei Shen anymore.
Even thinking about it sounded absurd.
Even asking the question had startled her.
Hui Niang didn’t know what she was thinking.
"Big change indeed."
Yu Tingwan’s heart jumped a bit.
Hui Niang: "When he left back then, he was just a few years old. Now he’s old enough to marry a wife, that’s quite a change."
"Lang had a bad temper back then too."
She told Yu Tingwan: "We used to live in the old Wei Family house, and he often quarreled with his grandmother over me."
"But where he used to talk a lot, these past few years, who knows how much suffering the child has endured to become so quiet."
Entering the alley, right as they reached their new home, Yue Shan, who was guarding Wei Zhao, heard movement and ran out.
"Aunt, little aunt."
After Hui Niang returned home, the surreal feeling finally dissipated.
"Yue Shan, are you hungry?"
They had left in a hurry and hadn’t prepared dinner.
Hui Niang hurried to the kitchen: "I’ll cook right away."
Yu Tingwan ruffled Yue Shan’s head, pushing aside her thoughts as she followed to start the fire.
It was really getting late, they’d prepare the meat dishes for tomorrow.
Hui Niang, quick with her hands, heated the pan and oil.
She first fried a plate of eggs, then made chives with eggplant, and finally cooked some vegetable soup.
As usual, once done, they brought everything into the house.
There were some differences though.
For instance, Yu Tingwan, who usually found meals particularly delicious, seemed preoccupied today, occasionally lifting her eyes to glance at Wei Zhao with a strange expression.
Wei Zhao: ...
Did he somehow offend Yu Tingwan again?
By the sixth time Yu Tingwan looked at Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao spoke up.
"I admit, I took the money you hid under the pillow."
Yu Tingwan: ???
She knew it! She had hidden four coins, how did they become three?
For that, she almost turned the house upside down.
In the end, finding no trace of it, she thought she must have remembered it wrong.
That was a matter from Xilin Village.
She widened her eyes: "What did you say!"
Wei Zhao: ...
Well, there you go.
He confessed without being prompted.
Wei Zhao stayed silent.
Not wanting to bring up this matter.
Hui Niang felt quite embarrassed, she never thought Lang would even take his wife’s money.
For this, Yue Shan looked down on Uncle Wei Shen again.
Their discreet glances didn’t faze Wei Zhao.
But when it came to Yu Tingwan, Wei Zhao found it hard to ignore.
He reached out, serving Yu Tingwan a piece of eggplant.
In the past, Yu Tingwan would have been moved.
Now, she pressed her lips, clearly displeased.
He shouldn’t think that offering her a piece of food would make her forgive and forget?
"Explain yourself clearly."
Yu Tingwan: "You’re not even allowed to go out, what did you need the money for?"
She really couldn’t understand.
Yu Tingwan: "Where’s the money now?"
Wei Zhao: "Put it back in your purse."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She had thought so.
When she went out to buy groceries today and counted her purse, how did there end up being an extra coin?
She even counted it twice!
However, Yu Tingwan grasped the main point.
"What about when we were in Xilin Village?"
"... Threw it under the bed."
Yu Tingwan: !!
You’re asking for a beating, aren’t you!
Wei Zhao: "Having four coins under a pillow is bad luck."
Yu Tingwan: ...
No, but...
Weren’t you intent on dying at that time?
Why did you care whether it was unlucky for me or not?
Yu Tingwan didn’t believe it: "Tell the truth!"
Wei Zhao: ...
He listlessly spat out a remark.
"Couldn’t help myself."
