The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 78: You’re Pretty... Dissolute

The next day.

Yu Tingwan woke up from her bed, and after washing up, she went to the chicken coop by the fence on the east side of the courtyard to gather eggs. Today’s harvest was good, she collected a total of four and put them all into a clay pot with a light step.

The kitchen was cold, and she didn’t see Hui Niang anywhere.

Yu Tingwan was puzzled when she saw Hui Niang coming in from outside, looking distressed and with red-rimmed eyes.

"Mother."

Yu Tingwan saw something was wrong with her expression and went forward to ask, "What happened?"

Wan Niang was a new bride, Hui Niang shouldn’t have said anything to worry her, but with Wei Shouzhong gone, she had no one to rely on, no one to talk to.

Tears slipped down.

"Last night, I dreamt of Lady Xiao, she was soaked in blood, telling me she was cold."

Yu Tingwan supported Hui Niang, who was somewhat unsteady on her feet, and her heart sank.

She knew.

When Lady Xiao was carried back by her aunt, Mrs. Yu, her body was already stiff. It was hot, and the corpse had begun to rot and smell.

It caused a stir in the village.

Even Mrs. Wang ran out to see but ended up running back pale-faced, covering her nose, and vomited dryly in the corner.

"It’s really terrifying, she was so lively when she got married, how could she just die like that."

"You didn’t see her clothes; they looked like they were soaked in blood; the smell was unbearable. They say she was beaten to death."

"Lady Xiao was seven months pregnant with the He family’s child, her belly round and big, how could her husband be so cruel?"

The girl heard this and only felt disgusted.

She often heard about who beat their wives again, who got bruised, and still had to work in the fields.

It wasn’t uncommon.

But this was the first time it had led to death.

People who could harm someone sleeping beside them, calling them beasts and scum wasn’t too much, they deserved hell.

But nothing happened.

The Government Office wouldn’t take the case, even covered it up.

Within a month, the He family had a grand second wedding.

Hui Niang said, "I felt uneasy, I couldn’t sit still at night, so I took a plate of persimmons to her grave to talk to her."

"But..."

Yu Tingwan softly asked, "What happened?"

Hui Niang said, "I met Granny Fan on my way back, she said..."

Hui Niang swallowed her sobs, eyes filled with intense hatred.

"She said that beast’s son was never brought outside, they say it’s because he’s not well. They reported his age younger, but he’s already two years old."

Yu Tingwan suddenly halted.

Lady Xiao died last year.

The new wife’s child was two?

Granny Fan had a loose tongue, whether true or false, couldn’t keep anything to herself.

But how often is she not right?

Hui Niang said, "I’m so hateful!"

In those midnight dreams, she wished she could peel the skin off everyone in the He family and crush their bones.

But the He family had money, relatives in the County Magistrate’s service, calling them local tyrants wasn’t an exaggeration.

Her eyes couldn’t hide the exhaustion, sobbing uncontrollably. Afraid to disturb Lang in the house, even her crying was restrained.

Hui Niang suppressed her voice, her body gently trembling.

What could she do?

It had come to this, yet her eyes still red, asked, "Are you hungry? I’ll make food."

This world seemed like poverty is original sin.

As long as there is money and power, you can disregard human life.

Those laws that appear fair are, in fact, biased. Merely to restrict the commonfolk.

Yu Tingwan couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.

"Mother hasn’t slept all night, how can your body endure? You should go back to rest."

She gently said, "You must take care of yourself, your husband still needs you."

This sentence pulled Hui Niang back a little from grief.

Indeed, there was still Lang.

Lady Xiao was gone, but Lang couldn’t have anything happen to him.

Hui Niang tried to gather her spirits.

Yu Tingwan said, "The He family has done much evil, they will be punished sooner or later."

As she said this, she was quite confident.

After all, how could the He family be so rampant without the support of the County Magistrate?

The County Magistrate was bound to be replaced!

And Wei Shen knew him!

How could they not deal with the He family in the future?

How could they not avenge Lady Xiao?

"They have committed many sins, and suffering is their destiny, no one can escape it."

She gently said, "Mother must be well, only then can you see those people disheveled and thrown into prison."

Yu Tingwan helped Hui Niang onto the bed, chatted for a while, and when Hui Niang’s face looked better, let her sleep, then quietly left the room, closing the door behind her.

She went to the kitchen, lit a fire to cook porridge, and brewed the medicine Wei Shen drank, waiting a while before boiling it.

Watching the firelight flicker in the stove, her expression grew increasingly serene.

As she was thinking, Yue Shan rubbed his eyes and entered sleepily.

"Aunt Hui..."

He had just said one word when realizing it was someone else, he quickly corrected himself, "Aunt."

Yu Tingwan heard him, looked over, "It’s still early, why not sleep a bit more?"

Yue Shan smiled embarrassedly, "I usually wake up at this time."

Yu Tingwan said, "The porridge needs more time to cook, could you check on your uncle?"

Yue Shan: ...

He wasn’t very willing to go.

Last time when rumors outside said something happened to Aunt, Uncle Shen didn’t care at all!

He thought Wei Shen was really too much.

He agreed with a sound, making his way to the other room.

Wei Zhao wasn’t awake yet.

Since he slept very late last night.

Not thinking, but finally feeling sleepy, only to have his collar grabbed.

Just opening his eyes, the room was pitch dark, but the girl’s eyes were exceptionally bright.

"What is it?" he asked

The girl’s voice was ghostly.

"I dreamt of you."

In the dark, she was lying on him, hadn’t they spent enough time together by day? Why dream of him at night too.

Wei Zhao was uneasy, wanting Yu Tingwan to lie down.

But the girl continued ghostly.

"What is it, the you in the dream was quite..."

She paused, seemingly struggling to find the right words.

"You still don’t know."

"Quite wanton."

Wei Zhao: ???

He frowned, "It’s just a dream, no need to take it seriously."

How could Yu Tingwan not take it seriously?

She was indeed surprised.

She didn’t see much, but she wasn’t entirely clueless.

Thinking about how Wei Zhao was impotent, yet didn’t shy away, even using his hands to...

Her feelings in the previous life couldn’t be conveyed.

But for Yu Tingwan, who knew nothing of such matters, it was a bit unacceptable.

In the middle of the night, the girl woke him up just to say a sentence.

"Your hands are quite beautiful, just too long. It’s not that I don’t like it."

"Just that..."

"They are meant for working and writing, you shouldn’t misuse them just to make up for your inadequacy."

Wei Zhao found it inexplicable.

But after saying this, the girl crawled off him and lay down beside him.

Then, she said something even more confusing to Wei Zhao.

Her words were indeed intriguing.

Even with his scholarly knowledge, Wei Zhao couldn’t comprehend.

The girl sighed.

"Wei Shen, your intentions are enough. You don’t need to make such great sacrifices for me!"
