The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 309 - 306: Is This... Abandoning Her?

Shen Zhiyi did not know what was on her mind.

Seeing Yu Tingwan’s interest, she spoke without reservation.

"Right, you just arrived in Shangjing. There are many things you don’t know."

"At the time of the Second Prince’s consort selection, he wanted to marry Gu Wu. Grand Tutor Gu declined, wanting to keep his daughter at home for a few more years."

Saying this, she looked at Yu Tingwan a few times.

Afraid that the girl would be displeased by these words.

But she wasn’t.

Yu Tingwan’s eyes were clear and bright.

Shen Zhiyi said, "So the Second Prince married Yao Ru, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

She whispered, "Back then, Gu Wu didn’t want to marry him, and Yao Ru also had someone in her heart, and she didn’t want to marry either, but the Minister of the Ministry of Justice wasn’t as bold as the Grand Tutor. The Second Prince’s leg injury hadn’t happened yet; after the marriage was set, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice didn’t care whether his daughter was happy, he only cared about climbing high."

Yu Tingwan couldn’t help but inquire, "Someone in her heart?"

Shen Zhiyi’s expression stiffened.

"That person can’t be mentioned outside."

She covered her lips, speaking as softly as a whisper, "It’s Prince Yan."

"When the Second Prince Consort was still unmarried, she had an engagement with Prince Yan, and they were about to marry. Everyone said they were a perfect match, but something happened at Prince Yan Mansion."

Shen Zhiyi said, "Never mind, perhaps you aren’t aware."

Yu Tingwan: ...

She was indeed very aware.

Isn’t it that stingy Ying Fuyan who spent Wei Zhao’s money?

"Speaking of which, this Second Prince Consort is also a pitiful person."

"When she learned of Prince Yan’s death and his news reached Shangjing, she wanted to follow him. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s wife, Mrs. Yao, knelt before her, begging her not to do anything foolish, saying that her marriage to the Second Prince was already set, and the imperial edict for the marriage was issued. The Yao Family raised her; they couldn’t raise an ingrate. If she died, their family couldn’t explain it to the Royal Family."

The Yao Family’s daughter had a non-resistant nature, so she bit the bullet and married him.

If that Second Prince were a good person, the days could be passable.

But unfortunately...

Shen Zhiyi didn’t continue.

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyes.

What a pity.

Ying Fuyan ended that way, and this Second Prince Consort...

I wonder how it will be when he returns to the capital and reunites with his old acquaintance.

Yu Tingwan felt a mix of emotions.

Seeing the ritual was about to begin, neither spoke further and proceeded inside.

Since it was her first time, and the hall was crowded, worrying she might not find a seat, Shen Zhiyi was about to raise her hand to point towards Ning Suxuan of Duke Shun Mansion.

When Princess Jiasan came over.

Shen Zhiyi swallowed her words back and went to find her mother and sister-in-law.

Jiasan came looking for Yu Tingwan.

She had been waiting since early, but when Ning Suxuan and the others arrived, Yu Tingwan was nowhere to be seen.

Finally seeing her, Jiasan’s pace was much quicker than usual.

Yu Tingwan followed behind Jiasan.

She saw Gu Wu in mourning attire.

Gu Wu smiled at her.

Yu Tingwan couldn’t understand.

At this moment, shouldn’t they be at odds?

Her expression turned odd.

Gu Wu, surprised, glanced at her cautiously.

Yu Tingwan felt relieved.

"Yaoyao?"

Jiasan was about to speak.

At this time, many women looked over; who wouldn’t want to witness the excitement?

This was the excitement between Duke Shun Mansion and the Grand Tutor Mansion!

It was expected that the General’s wife would acknowledge Princess Jiasan, maybe not warmly, but at least call her mother.

But she didn’t.

The young lady slowly greeted, "Madam Gu."

The estrangement was unmistakable.

Yu Tingwan touched her ear and asked gently, "Do you have any affairs?"

Yu Tingwan kindly said, "If not, I’ll go find my mother-in-law."

Ning Suxuan withdrew her gaze, no longer watching, fingers rubbing the ring on her finger.

The size wasn’t right, and the style clearly wasn’t for women.

But she rarely parted with it.

She suddenly said softly.

"When young, one’s thoughts are simple, easily swayed by a piece of candy or a snack. As you grow, endure hardships, the Gu Family couple didn’t appear to back her up, shield her from the storm, didn’t come at her most needed times. Now married, the hardships have passed. She can buy candy and snacks herself, not afraid of thunder or rain with someone by her side, has everything. Matured, the estrangement over the years became heavy, the companionship of biological parents doesn’t seem as significant anymore."

The Marchioness Ning was about to nod in agreement.

Ning Suxuan murmured, "But I only understand this truth now."

Madam Ning said, "It’s not too late."

Ning Suxuan closed her eyes, saying nothing more.

The eyes of Jiasan slowly fell on the young lady. She cautiously said.

"Let me take you there."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Nanny Ru from Ning Suxuan’s side coming over.

Yu Tingwan noticed too, smiled faintly, "No need to trouble you, my mother-in-law sent someone to get me."

The young lady bowed to her, without any reluctance, and then left.

Jiasan’s eyes reddened instantly; she turned her back to wipe them with a handkerchief.

Gu Wu said, "Mother."

Jiasan looked over.

Gu Wu said, "I didn’t mean it."

Gu Wu said, "Just felt like sister wanted me to glare at her."

Jiasan sighed, "Come with me."

Finding a secluded spot, she asked directly, "Did the Second Prince look for you?"

Gu Wu quickly said, "He’s quite scheming, indifferent to his own people, and still wants to entangle with me; I won’t pay him any heed."

Jiasan said, "As long as you’re clear about it."

————

Thick incense filled the hall heavily, the air was stagnant, the aroma unpleasant.

After Yu Tingwan went over, Ning Suxuan didn’t pay much attention to her, nor did she rebuke, only instructed.

"Follow the rules, don’t wander off."

Yu Tingwan obediently said, "Oh."

Once the chanting monks approached the ancestral hall, no one dared to speak inside; they all knelt on the thin meditation mats, mourning for the Crown Prince.

Yu Tingwan glanced; her meditation mat was clearly thicker than others.

She blinked, knowing whose idea it was.

Felt a bit unaccustomed to such consideration.

But not foolish enough to switch it.

The adjacent wooden fish beat loud, the monk’s voice resounding.

The hall was solemn.

Everyone knelt upright.

The Empress didn’t come but sent a mammy to overlook.

Yu Tingwan also knelt upright!!!

But soon, she started to feel the inability to endure the kneeling.

She glimpsed at Ning Suxuan beside her.

Ning Suxuan remained unmoved, as if nothing would faze her.

She shifted her gaze forward.

Saw the Second Prince Consort.

Physically frail, kneeling crookedly.

"Pa!" The Second Prince Consort was struck by a mammy with a ruler.

Yu Tingwan’s eyelid twitched, feeling the pain.

Yao Ru lunged forward.

The mammy harshly said, "What’s wrong, Second Prince Consort? Standing improperly, kneeling in disgrace. If uncomfortable, you should report to the Empress. If not, how would the Empress know? Ignorant ones might think ill of you. No proper appearance here! Is it dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince or the Empress?"

Yu Tingwan: !!!

She worried about the Second Prince Consort.

But soon, began worrying for herself.

Would she be hit too?
