The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 291 - 288: I’m Always Thinking of My Husband
As soon as these words were spoken, the people nearby responded softly.
"I also heard that the old noblewoman is particularly arrogant and has a big attitude. She doesn’t allow other pilgrims to get too close, at least ten zhang away, or they will be expelled."
"Pah, if she’s so capable, why doesn’t she just buy the whole mountain and keep it to herself?"
Yu Tingwan climbed the mountain effortlessly.
She looked around as she ascended.
Observing the bamboo on either side of the steps swaying in the wind.
It was the season for eating bamboo shoots, and at a glance, the ground was covered with spring shoots emerging.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ning Suxuan noticed there was no sound from Yu Tingwan behind her and assumed she had fallen behind, so she turned to look.
The Yu Family matron walked with her hands behind her back, unfazed by the climb. She even kicked a pebble now and then, and the jewelry on her body and the golden beads at her waist swayed with her movements.
In the sunlight, it was hard to tell if her appearance was that much more radiant or if her jewelry was more dazzling.
She didn’t look like someone from a small place.
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say she was nurtured in the boudoir of a wealthy family.
Perhaps noticing Ning Suxuan’s gaze, Yu Tingwan looked up and met her eyes.
A flash of confusion crossed her eyes.
Nonetheless, she tilted her head slightly and beamed a bright smile at Ning Suxuan.
Nanny Ru’s heart almost melted.
Say what you will, but the Heir’s wife truly has a lovely appearance.
And she seems obedient!
Ning Suxuan turned around expressionlessly and continued to walk ahead.
Next up, Ning Suxuan continued climbing the mountain.
Yu Tingwan enjoyed the scenery.
Ning Suxuan kept climbing the mountain.
Yu Tingwan followed along leisurely, taking in the scenery without rush.
Ning Suxuan found climbing the mountain becoming strenuous.
Climbing a mountain is tiring; she seldom goes out, and having previously suffered a serious illness, she soon had sweat on her forehead.
As a sensible daughter-in-law, it was impossible for her to urge her mother-in-law to hurry up, especially after Ning Suxuan had coldly refused her offer of a ride.
Yu Tingwan casually picked a few flowers along the way.
She also happily plucked quite a few bamboo shoots.
To this, Ning Suxuan found herself speechless.
By the time they reached the first resting pavilion, Ning Suxuan was already panting.
But Yu Tingwan’s breathing remained steady.
Nanny Ru took the food box from the Wei Family Army and laid out the tea and snacks on the stone table.
Ning Suxuan sat down and only drank a few sips of tea.
Yu Tingwan didn’t stay idle; she tied the flowers she picked into a bundle.
Her hands were rather clumsy; she didn’t know how to arrange flowers, but with various red and pink flowers piled together, it looked quite nice.
Outside the pavilion was a little girl hopping around, holding a pretty flower in her hand.
"Mother! Bend down."
The woman in coarse clothes thought her daughter was tired and wanted to be held. As she bent down, the little girl stood on tiptoe and stuck the flower on her mother’s head.
"I knew mother would look beautiful with it."
"Father is reluctant to buy mother jewelry, saying it’s a waste of money. When I grow up, I’ll definitely buy you a beautiful golden hairpin!"
Tan Jiang withdrew her gaze: "Mistress."
Tan Jiang: "This flower of yours is..."
She was about to ask if it was for the mistress.
Nanny Ru also looked over.
Yu Tingwan: "For my husband."
Tan Jiang: ??
Nanny Ru: ??
Yu Tingwan: "I just came back from Ze County for treatment, my husband’s mood is not bright, so I use flowers to cheer him up."
"There was a time when I gave one every day."
Ning Suxuan heard and looked over.
Yu Tingwan cleared her throat, speaking coyly and dramatically: "His health is poor, unable to accompany me, so while I’m outside, I should always be thinking of him."
Nanny Ru: "And those bamboo shoots are..."
Yu Tingwan: "I’ll bring them back, make braised fresh with cured meat to drink."
Freshly picked ones are the freshest!
Yu Tingwan didn’t mention her own craving.
"I think my husband will love it."
Tan Jiang: ?!!
The mistress truly loves her husband!
Ning Suxuan’s expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotion.
Just then, another pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law passed by. Their conversation still carried over.
"Wei Niang, although you’ve been married into the family for just half a month, the matter of offspring still needs to be hurried."
The mother-in-law looked plump and kind, but her tone was forceful and disdainful.
"Your family background isn’t good, marrying into the He Family was already a reach. I had no choice. A wife should be virtuous, but your husband was foolish, valuing appearance and chose you after much deliberation. I initially disagreed, but my son is grown, doesn’t listen to his mother, and insisted on bringing you home."
"I can’t very well drive you away, so I reluctantly accepted."
She glanced at her daughter-in-law.
"You don’t look like you have childbearing hips. The Wang Family has only one heir, expecting him to continue the family line, you need to put in the effort."
The new daughter-in-law lowered her brow, obviously afraid. She quickly assured, "Mother-in-law, I will definitely give the He Family a son as soon as possible."
"Hmph, that’s more like it." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Yu Tingwan: ...
She looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, then at herself.
Yu Tingwan then looked at Ning Suxuan.
She was a bit conflicted.
Should she also make a hint?
After all, it’s just a matter of opening her mouth.
She thought that she herself was quite substantial.
Wei Zhao is also the sole heir.
But...
Wei Zhao always finishes externally, clearly not wanting her to conceive too soon.
Ning Suxuan, having rested enough, prepared to set out, said indifferently: "Gui Zhi’s health isn’t good, the matter of children relies on fate, no rush."
————
At this time, a carriage was hastening along the official road towards Shangjing.
Outside, the respectful voice of the coachman was heard: "Sir, there is an hour left before we reach the Capital."
Gu Fuju looked weary.
He had almost dug up the nearby towns of Ze County searching, but still couldn’t find any trace of Yu Tingwan.
It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
He calculated the time, then closed his eyes heavily.
"To Changdu Temple."
"Yes."
At the next fork, the carriage left the official road and headed towards Changdu Temple.
Gu Fuju felt very powerless, finding the situation troublesome.
He raised his hand, gently caressing the portrait of Yu Tingwan, as if treating a fragile treasure.
When he closed his eyes, it seemed he could see a young lady bustling on the streets of Ze County, lively and spirited.
A gust of wind blew past, stirring the curtain and sending a few pages from the thick stack of paper detailing Yu Tingwan’s life, which he had gone over countless times, flying off the tea table in the carriage.
He quickly bent down to pick them up.
Picking up one, his gaze swept lightly over it.
It wrote about little Yaoyao being blocked by a little girl from another alley at the street corner.
Gu Fuju didn’t continue reading, knowing what was written next.
That little girl was dressed in mourning clothes, yet she was too young to understand the pain of separation between life and death. She raised her chin, looking at Yaoyao.
["Things at my house are lively! Grandma passed away and is lying in a coffin; everyone is offering incense for her."]
Yaoyao: ["Move aside, I need to go back, my mother made braised pork."]
The little girl was displeased.
["What’s so great about eating meat every meal, today I got to eat it too."]
She boasted.
["We held several tables of feast, and people from several nearby alleys came."]
Yaoyao was puzzled.
She covered her mouth, speaking in a childish voice.
["You’re so miserly, only taking advantage of others. Yet your grandma is generous enough to host that many people for a meal."]
