The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 77: So, What, Want Me to Give You a Kiss?
Just picking them took the three of them an entire hour.
Yu Tingwan carefully climbed down the tree, not bothering to wash her hands as she ran inside to inform the people in the house of her decision.
Wei Zhao: "You’re going to stake out?"
"Yes."
Yu Tingwan was also helpless: "There’s no other way, I can’t just hide under their bed."
"I’ll keep an eye out, as soon as Old Man Zhou returns to the village, I’ll go over."
She! Had plenty of time!
Let’s see who can outlast whom.
Wei Zhao looked at her intently.
The girl’s tone seemed sure that those two would be clandestine.
She should be a calm and rational person.
But Wei Zhao didn’t ask more, everyone has secrets.
"If you don’t catch them during the day, won’t you have to keep watch there at night too?"
"No, I won’t."
Yu Tingwan: "I’ll come back at dusk."
"How about eating before you go?"
Yu Tingwan looked at him suspiciously, "It’s going to be dark soon, why should I leave? After I eat, won’t I need to sleep?"
Moreover, the scene she saw of catching them in the act was during the day.
Wei Zhao didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Call her active, but she’s got a better plan for eating and sleeping.
Hui Niang was cooking, and she just burrowed into the kitchen.
After it got dark, she bathed and then went to bed with the lights out.
Call her unmotivated, yet she’s actively motivated. Her emotions of wanting to rip apart Old Man Zhou were all over her face.
Yu Tingwan got close to Wei Zhao, looking up: "When I leave the house, don’t cause any trouble."
The girl’s eyebrows were delicate, with a fair and tender face.
Wei Zhao caught a whiff of her subtle fragrance, and instinctively turned his face away.
He paced to the window: "Location of the Zhou family."
Yu Tingwan followed along: "Not far."
"Be more specific."
She thought for a moment: "From our house southward, passing three houses, then west passing ten houses, straight ahead bypass eight houses, then west five houses."
"It’s cold outside, you don’t need to go."
Yu Tingwan: "Don’t be ridiculous, Yue Shan is still small, I can’t order him around. Besides, if he sees something he shouldn’t, it would taint his eyes."
"Not talking about him."
"Then I definitely can’t let mother go."
Wei Zhao: "Not..."
Yu Tingwan interrupted gently: "You don’t mean you want to replace me, do you?"
You’re quite bold.
Wei Zhao glanced at her, powerless: "Did you see the crow outside? Let it go."
Yu Tingwan: ???
This was even more bizarre.
Hui Niang and Yue Shan were not around; they just went out to give some persimmons to a few reasonably good neighbors nearby.
Wei Zhao’s gaze fell on the kitchen opposite, slowly rising upwards.
"Come here."
Yu Tingwan unhesitatingly moved closer, hooking Wei Zhao’s arm. It was rare to see him take the initiative, so untimely thoughts popped up.
She cleared her throat, earnestly asking, "What’s this, want me to kiss you?"
She hadn’t tried it yet.
They had been a couple for so long; if nothing else works, a kiss should be fine.
Having seen her boldness more than once, Wei Zhao still couldn’t manage to remain indifferent, with a heart as calm as water.
He was silent for a moment: "Can you not be so..."
"What?"
He spat out four words: "Like a wolf or tiger."
After speaking, he added in a low voice: "Not calling you."
With that remark, a crow landed on the windowsill, its small eyes rolling around cautiously watching Wei Zhao, seeming to seek favor.
Yu Tingwan: ????
She listened as Wei Shen repeated the location and gave a few more instructions, pointing with his finger. The crow proudly straightened its body, nodded, cawed, and flew outside.
Yu Tingwan: ???
She couldn’t believe it.
"It can understand?"
Wei Zhao: "Yes."
"It can even mimic human speech."
Yu Tingwan thought of what Hui Niang had said and looked sharply at Wei Zhao.
"Then... it’s not your pet, is it?"
"Wei Shen, so you really aren’t a mess officer!"
Wei Zhao heard her say, "Were you training birds in the military camp?"
She knew that the military camp kept carrier pigeons.
"No."
How could Wei Zhao raise something small enough to fit in his palm?
It was raised by Fu Meng.
Three years ago, when he brought Fu Meng back to the Capital, Xiao Huaian arranged a special performance with dancers for them.
The dance was indeed impressive, with a dancer spinning faster and faster on one foot.
Wei Zhao didn’t even look and went back to sleep. But Fu Meng stayed till the end, saying he hadn’t seen enough.
But it couldn’t be like Xiao Huaian, keeping a crowd of women around him.
So, Fu Meng went and caught a bunch of crows.
He had the crows circle around in the sky for him.
The disobedient ones were eaten on the spot.
Only one remained, capable of watching his expression.
Since Wei Zhao was picked up by Hui Niang, the crow had been circling nearby.
Every few days, it would go to the mountains to relay messages.
Wei Zhao was sure that if he ever died, before his body turned cold, Fu Meng would have the crow carry him to a pit and bury him with dirt just in time.
To Yu Tingwan’s eager anticipation, Old Man Zhou hadn’t returned to the village by nightfall. Probably he couldn’t get a cart, and there were other delays.
Yu Tingwan felt a bit of regret for this.
The kerosene lamp in the house was out, and Yu Tingwan was asleep in a daze.
But she seemed to hear someone screaming in her ear. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The voice was very familiar.
It seemed to be hers.
That shouldn’t be, it clearly came from the front.
Yet everything around was a blur, like floating clouds, or a fragile dreamscape.
Yu Tingwan couldn’t see clearly, she tried to move forward.
But her whole body felt as if it had no strength.
She didn’t know how long she walked when she finally saw a hint of light up ahead.
Yu Tingwan walked towards it without hesitation.
She saw the gurgling stream, and the winding corridors.
Forward, keep going forward.
It was the courtyard she’d seen before.
She saw herself once again.
No longer in maid’s clothes, but in a fine gauze dress with a beautiful pearl flower in her hair.
However, the girl’s face was pale at this moment, the medicine bowl fell from her hand, crashing on the ground with shards scattering, and the medicine spilled all over her.
But Yu Tingwan didn’t care at all.
Her eyes were only on Wei Shen, whose palm was dripping with blood.
The fear in her voice hadn’t dissipated, she stumbled forward and grabbed the knife from his hand.
Very angry.
"You agreed so well, why did you hurt yourself!"
This wasn’t a tone a maid should use with her master.
At this time, Wei Shen was also quite different from when she last saw him.
He wore a casual robe, the belt tight around his lean waist, seemingly full of strength.
There was no deadness in his eyes, only the reflection of the girl’s angry face.
"I was cutting fruit and accidentally cut myself."
Only then did Yu Tingwan notice the roughly cut pear on the table.
"Last time, you smashed the eye of the little thief who stole my purse with a stone, and now you tell me your hand shakes when cutting fruit."
He leaned back, pulling her to sit on his lap.
Thinking of her awkward gait, Wei Zhao picked up the ointment on the table to apply to her.
His fingertips down, lifting the hem of her skirt.
Yu Tingwan reacted as if receiving a shock, collapsing into his arms, firmly pressing down the man’s hand.
"I can’t bear it anymore."
"Yaoyao, be reasonable."
How was it her fault now?
He chuckled, indulgently and languidly: "It must have been tired from serving you last night."
