The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 153: Between You and Me, Someone Has to Be the One to Yield
Yu Tingwan got the answer from his reaction. Without asking further, she walked on.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too mysterious.
Elder Ge laughed awkwardly, not sure if he was talking to Yu Tingwan or himself: "The General will be fine."
But he didn’t sound very confident.
Yu Tingwan agreed: "Yes, that’s right."
Elder Ge: "I’ve been following the General for years, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pulled him back from the Ghost Gate on one hand."
"Last time, he was hit by a poisoned arrow."
"The poison was terrifying, he was stiff all over, and his skin turned blue."
"Look at him now, just fine."
Worry was written all over Elder Ge’s face: "Don’t panic."
Yu Tingwan ate slowly: "I’m not panicked."
Elder Ge looked at her.
Goodness gracious.
Really not panicked, even smiling.
Elder Ge: ...
Do you have a heart?
Does what you said last time about willing to die for the General still count!

While the two were talking, someone entered Wei Zhao’s room. The Black Shadow respectfully delivered a letter and then slipped away.
Wei Zhao didn’t rush to open it as Yu Tingwan and Elder Ge came in.
Elder Ge entered, took the pulse, and checked the situation.
Wei Zhao was listless, his eyes looking toward the person behind Elder Ge.
The girl stood to one side, already pale by nature, with a noticeable bluish tint under her eyelids.
He frowned, opened his mouth.
Elder Ge noticed, understood.
"Don’t move."
Elder Ge pulled out a needle: "I’ll speak for you."
He turned his head slightly to look at Yu Tingwan.
"The General says you were busy all night yesterday and must be tired. He wants you to go rest."
To emphasize Wei Zhao’s thoughtfulness, he belittled himself without hesitation.
"I don’t think it’s a big deal, even if I don’t sleep for three nights, I won’t die."
"But the General can’t!"
Elder Ge intoned: "He must be very distressed."
Wei Zhao: ...
Feeling...
Feeling a bit nauseous.
He opened his mouth.
To tell him to shut up.
But Elder Ge ignored his mouth movements and continued: "Look, now he thinks I’m not speaking loudly enough. Afraid it doesn’t express his feelings."
Wei Zhao: ...
So embarrassing.
Yu Tingwan: ...
The girl wanted to hold it in, but really couldn’t.
"Ha."
Yu Tingwan was overjoyed, yet afraid of affecting Elder Ge, her shoulders shook uncontrollably: "I... I’ll go fetch some warm water."
Elder Ge’s hands didn’t stop moving.
"General, look."
He suggested Wei Zhao learn more.
"See how happily Mrs. Wei is laughing."
Wei Zhao remained expressionless.
Is it possible she’s laughing at you!
Wei Zhao was too lazy to bother with him, not because he was strictly following doctor’s orders.
Because the pain drenched him in sweat.
Anyone else would have rolled on the ground by now.
But he just kept his eyes shut, the veins on his hands and forehead popping out.
Yu Tingwan turned back halfway through crossing the threshold. She knew he wouldn’t die, but she still couldn’t bear it.
Until... Elder Ge also lost the heart to joke, his hands trembling: "Should I be gentler?"
Wei Zhao kept his eyes shut.
Elder Ge suggested: "If you really can’t bear it, we can delay pulling it out a bit."
Wei Zhao scoffed: "Heh."
Yu Tingwan: ...
————
After Yu Tingwan brought the hot water, Elder Ge started preparing for a medicinal bath.
Seeing she really wasn’t needed here, Yu Tingwan went next door to catch up on sleep.
She held the letter Wei Zhao had given her.
It was sent by Shunzi from the countryside a few days ago.
After reading the content, there was news in Yu Tingwan’s eyes.
Her uncle and aunt’s issues were resolved. It seems that her parents should return too.
Fu Meng, who was sent to reflect in the corner, wanted to drive her out.
Yet before it could act, already lying on the bed with the blanket cover, Yu Tingwan turned and asked.
"When are you leaving?"
Hui Niang is timid, and if she sees a tiger at home, she’ll surely be frightened.
Fu Meng: ??
None of your business!
It was disdainful at the moment. Approaching the bed, it tried to scare the girl menacingly.
The tiger’s head was held in her hands.
Fu Meng: ???
Yu Tingwan didn’t expect it to feel so good.
"Let’s discuss something."
She spoke softly: "Between you and me, someone has to watch their temper."
"I’m not very patient, so I hope that someone can be you."
She wasn’t beyond reason.
"Okay?"
Fu Meng: !!
Why should I!
It was about to kick her out the door.
"Fu Meng."
Elder Ge’s voice came from outside.
"The General asks when you’ll leave."
Fu Meng: ???
Dream on about getting rid of it, the Hu Dongxi only wanted to follow till death.
Yu Tingwan patted the tiger’s head.
"Think it over, and don’t forget to close the door on your way out."

The snow was melting, and the road was a bit damp.
The countryside was always colder than towns.
Zhao Yong and Yu Family sent Hui Niang and Wei Shouzhong off.
Yu Family patted her sister-in-law’s hand: "These past days have delayed you so much. I don’t know how Lang is doing, countryside news is slow, and the progress of Lady Xiao’s case is also unknown. You and your brother-in-law should return soon."
Hui Niang said: "Family is family, that’s not something to say. Sister-in-law can’t become distant from me, I only have Ah Yu as my nephew, and seeing him well makes me feel at ease."
Yu Family smiled, always having her own opinions.
"The family’s in a mess, I’ll tidy it up first. Tomorrow, your brother and I will take Ah Yu to the town to meet Mr. Chu."
"Withdrawing from school was a last resort. Now that things are resolved, I want him to continue studying. Ah Yu thinks the same."
She wiped her reddened eyes.
"I never thought Ah Yu was stupid, he’s clearly very diligent."
She was worried.
Not knowing whether Mr. Chu would agree.
Mr. Chu had always been difficult to approach.
Yu Family suppressed her emotions: "I’ve noted down the address you mentioned. After everything’s resolved, your brother and I will go see Lang."
Wei Shouzhong was about to say something when someone shouted "Uncle" from the front.
Shunzi spat out the stick from his mouth and ran over.
Wei Shouzhong and Hui Niang exchanged a glance, quite surprised.
Wei Shouzhong was quicker to react, calling over the taciturn young man Zhao Yu: "Ah Yu, come quickly, this is the friend who saved you."
Zhao Yu approached gratefully, formally bowing deeply: "For the life-saving grace..."
He managed four words before he was interrupted.
"Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei."
It was Hu Yaozu in a student’s outfit.
He had just returned from the academy, not heading to Xilin Village, but coming here instead.
These days he had been dealing with Mr. Chu, exhausted, but still finding the energy to inquire about Yu Tingwan.
Upon learning she had taken her newlywed husband for treatment, Hu Yaozu was furious.
What he saw in town before was indeed Yu Tingwan.
He hadn’t mistaken!
But he couldn’t find her.
Coming back, he headed to the Zhao family immediately.
Expecting to pry some words from the Zhao family, only to find Yu Tingwan’s parents-in-law directly!
Hu Yaozu’s face didn’t look pleasant.
He approached swiftly.
"Where’s Wan?"
Suppressing his anger, his words sounded squeezed through clenched teeth. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Uncle Wei, I feel a deep sorrow and sympathy for your family’s happenings, but while my father isn’t around, you took a perfectly fine girl to be your daughter-in-law."
"Does the Wei family son deserve it!"
Hu Yaozu: "I could very well sue you all!"
