The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 55: I’d Risk My Life for You

Understood.

Perhaps he’s having another episode, fantasizing himself as a divine healer now.

Yu Tingwan didn’t expose him: "How many days do I have left?"

Wei Zhao glanced at her, his tone calm: "Not more than ten days."

All right, he’s so ruthless he even curses himself.

"I’ll leave early."

Yu Tingwan: "Where are you going?"

Wei Zhao lowered his gaze: "I can’t really die at your Wei Family."

"Yu Tingwan."

He suddenly called her name.

Wei Zhao spoke softly: "While you’re still young, consider marrying again."

A bright girl like her could lead a good life anywhere she goes.

Yu Tingwan: ...

He hasn’t even closed his eyes, yet he’s already discussing his last wishes?

Yu Tingwan saw he had only taken two bites of porridge and left more than half uneaten, sighing inwardly.

She handed the rice cake to Wei Zhao, sliding her arm over to him, pulling up her sleeve to reveal a small part of her lotus-like pale wrist.

"Then please, husband, take a look for me as well."

Wei Zhao furrowed his brows.

He wasn’t very willing.

But seeing the girl begin to press him to hurry, waiting impatiently, as if she might hit him again.

Wei Zhao, reluctantly, lowered his index and middle fingers to check her pulse.

A slow pulse with cold congealed internally. Energy is obstructed, causing blood flow issues.

Yu Tingwan’s eyes curved into a smile, not expecting him to say anything more.

"Open your mouth."

Wei Zhao: "Let me see your tongue."

Yu Tingwan willingly cooperated.

Though she hadn’t applied any makeup, her lips were rosy and moist. She sat opposite him, not feeling embarrassed, and gently extended her soft tongue.

Wei Zhao got the sense of it, retracting his hand.

"Occasional cold limbs, chest tightness and shortness of breath."

Indeed, he had guessed correctly.

Whenever fragmented memories flooded in, they’d stir her nerves, making her relive past tragedies.

She always needed a long time to recover.

"Prolonged stagnation in the liver, blocked by pathological heat."

Wei Zhao spoke softly: "You had a serious illness before, harming your foundation. Poor nutrition over the years, leading to inadequate health. Overworking, both physically and mentally exhausted."

Yu Tingwan looked at Wei Zhao in disbelief.

She indeed had a serious illness. After being rescued from falling into the water, she had a high fever that wouldn’t subside, nearly not surviving.

Working hard at the Hu Family, she was busy from morning till night whenever Hu Dazhu was not around.

"I never thought..."

"Husband, did you actually inquire about my past to understand me?"

Wei Zhao: ???

Yu Tingwan smiled at him: "In the future, if my husband wants to know anything, just ask me directly." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

No, he didn’t want to know.

Yu Tingwan: "I’ll share everything, leaving nothing unsaid."

She aimed to make Wei Shen understand her completely from every angle!

He continued indifferently: "I cannot treat women’s ailments. But I can see from your pulse that your menstrual cycle is irregular. Little menstrual blood, sore back and knees, bloated lower abdomen."

Yu Tingwan: ???

Could Wei Shen actually know medical skills?

But as a man, how could he speak of such private matters so calmly?

Even Yu Tingwan felt her ears grow a bit warm.

She reassured herself, thinking it’s alright since Wei Shen was her husband, and it wasn’t abrupt.

Yu Tingwan felt just a little awkward, only a little.

Wei Shouzhong returned after an hour.

In the kitchen, La Ba porridge was simmering, its aroma spreading, the porridge thick and creamy.

Hearing the commotion, Hui Niang and Yu Tingwan came out from the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Wei Shouzhong was carrying a child, standing beside the tall Brother Peng the hunter.

Wei Shouzhong smiled: "I thought it wouldn’t be good to bother Brother Peng so close to the New Year, planning to ask him after the New Year’s Eve. But he said there’s no need to delay, and they’d head out soon."

Not just Hui Niang, even Yu Tingwan was surprised.

Since he offered, why would they be ungrateful and refuse?

Hui Niang stepped forward, brushing the snow from the child’s coat: "Look at this little face, all frozen. Must have gotten cold. Come with Aunt to warm up by the fire."

She apologized to Brother Peng the hunter: "Sorry for really troubling you."

Brother Peng the hunter: "Auntie, no need to say that."

Since the incident at home, he wasn’t comfortable leaving the child alone at home, always taking him into the deep mountains. The child followed him, enduring many hardships.

He wasn’t skilled in tidying up, so the child was dirtier than others his age.

"I’m a grown man, not capable of making a New Year’s Eve dinner. Every year my home is cold and cheerless, and I relaxed when hearing Uncle’s words. So I wondered if it was possible for Yue Shan to come have New Year’s dinner, and Auntie could help take care of him for these few days."

"Don’t say that."

Hui Niang quickly replied: "I’ll tidy up Lady Xiao’s room, let Yue Shan stay here."

"Mother, I’ll do it. You prepare more provisions for Dad and Brother Peng the hunter."

Yu Tingwan had just walked a few steps when she remembered something.

Her face turned serious.

"I heard signs of wild beasts have appeared outside the mountains recently. Brother Peng taking Dad might be inconvenient, but they must be careful."

Hui Niang’s heart skipped a beat, starting to panic.

Brother Peng the hunter recognized her as the new wife of Wei Shen: "Who told you that?"

He’d been hiking up the mountain daily, yet didn’t know this?

"Aunt Wu’s son saw them firsthand."

"Then don’t take it seriously."

"There are indeed many wild beasts deep in the mountains, but they’ve never ventured out. Had they come out, they’d probably have already invaded the village."

That sounds rather safe.

Hui Niang also relaxed: "It doesn’t matter what others say, just don’t believe Aunt Wu’s words."

People in the village can’t afford meat, Aunt Wu’s family second son learned a bit about hunting, but he’s only had some skin-deep knowledge. Catching something in one out of ten attempts would already be good.

Every year, Aunt Wu doesn’t go to Li Zheng’s house to buy meat, she’d urge her son to go into the mountains more.

"The path is difficult and game isn’t easy to catch. Her son is lazy, deceiving her."

"Every year, she gets tricked once, and every year Aunt Wu believes it. She’ll tell everyone there’re signs of wild beasts."

Yu Tingwan: ???

Alright, alright.

So, the herbal business can continue.

She absent-mindedly tidied up the room next door, then found time to check on Wei Zhao within the room.

Wei Zhao had been feeling drowsy lately, but never slept deeply. He awoke as soon as there was noise in the courtyard, though he couldn’t be bothered to open his eyes.

Only when Yu Tingwan came close would he open his eyes.

The girl thought he had just awoken.

She sat on the bed.

"Husband."

She grasped Wei Zhao’s hand.

"I won’t give up on you, Father is also preparing to enter the deep mountains. So you should also hang on."

Wei Zhao didn’t pull his hand away, his eyes seemed shrouded in a layer of mist, hiding the sorrow within them.

Yu Tingwan: "Waiting at home is still waiting, later on, I’ll also go into the mountains."

Not going too deep within.

To find Doctor Qian’s talked-about ginseng.

Wei Zhao asked in a low voice: "The weather’s cold, the snow is so thick, the mountain paths are hard to walk. If you accidentally slip and fall, do you know what will happen?"

Crying out would be useless.

Wei Zhao: "Are you afraid?"

Yu Tingwan didn’t lie: "Afraid."

"I fear death more than anyone."

That’s how it should be.

Wei Zhao squinted his eyes in satisfaction, yet heard the girl persist stubbornly.

"But I should go regardless."

Yu Tingwan cleared her throat: "You might not know, recently near the outskirts, wild beasts have appeared unpredictably."

Wei Zhao: ...

He’d heard the conversation from earlier in the courtyard.

Yu Tingwan warmly: "Wei Shen, I am willing to risk my life for you."

Wei Zhao: ...

His expression complex, his once quiet eyes grew darker, staring straight at her, reflecting the girl’s smiling face.

She looked serious: "So, once you’re better and dare to hurt me, you’re done for."
