The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 74 Is she better looking than me?
After figuring this out, Yu Tingwan felt extremely depressed.

She tried to find useful clues.

Unfortunately not.

However... personally exposing Old Zhou's dirty deeds, making him a rat that everyone hates, and then figuring out a way to make sure he can never recover completely, is also quite satisfying.

Wei Zhao looked at Yu Tingwan, who seemed lost in thought, and then at her sorrowful pursed lips. He had never seen anyone like her, with their emotions written all over their face.

He closed the window, his expression calm, and went to lie down on the chair.

My head hurts terribly, I'm drowsy, and I feel weak and can't hold on any longer.

But Wei Zhao had no desire to sleep at all.

The moment I close my eyes, all I see is the ugly face of the emperor.

Wei Zhao then thought of the Duke of Shun and his wife.

His eyes darkened, and a soft sigh escaped his lips.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Yu Tingwan walked in from outside.

The room was warm enough with a charcoal fire burning inside. The girl took off her cotton coat, walked over to Wei Zhao, moved a stool over, and sat down next to him.

Wei Zhao remained silent.

Yu Tingwan didn't say anything.

A long silence fell over the air.

Finally, the girl's lips moved, breaking the deathly silence.

"I'm a little troubled."

Wei Zhao slowly raised his eyes: "What?"

Yu Tingwan was filled with melancholy.

How did she manage to sneak over when the two men couldn't resist their lust and were having an affair?

This timing is crucial.

Yu Tingwan: "I have no experience and I'm afraid I might do something wrong."

She looked at Wei Zhao.

"They say you can catch a thief red-handed and an adulterer in the act. If you were in this situation, what would you do if Old Man Zhou and his daughter-in-law were having an affair?"

Wei Zhao remained silent, a strange glint in his eyes.

"I……"

"So you've gained experience?"

Yu Tingwan: ...That's true.

But how could Wei Shen not be curious at all about such a shocking and scandalous affair?
Forget it, even if the sky were to fall and crush him to death, Wei Shen wouldn't even blink.

Although Wei Shen couldn't offer Yu Tingwan emotional support, she couldn't find anyone else to talk to about these things besides him. She couldn't very well go and tell Hui Niang about those things that happened in the Zhou family's bedroom.

She smiled at him: "I heard from Aunt Wu that Zhou Qin saw two figures in Liu the Matchmaker's house the night before last."

Zhou Qin never imagined that Matchmaker Liu would be so bold!

Even under someone's nose, they still try to steal a bite.

She was about to rush over when she kicked a stool inside the house, making a noise.

When she knocked on Liu the matchmaker's door and said she had something urgent to tell her, she looked inside and there was no one there.

Grandpa seemed to hear the noise and came out of his room again, scolding her for not sleeping in the middle of the night and disturbing the rest of the family.

Yu Tingwan: "Zhou Qin held a lamp and searched around the corner of the Zhou family's house at night, trying to see if there were any traces of the adulterer."

There was snow on the ground, so footprints weren't hard to find. But Zhou Qin didn't see anything amiss.

"She suspected she was seeing things, but little did she know that her stepmother's room was hiding her grandfather."

Wei Zhao:......

very messy.

Yu Tingwan: "However, she has now gone back to her husband's family home. Aunt Wu said that her husband came to see her and said that the child has a fever that won't go down no matter what he does."

Upon hearing this, how could this be? Zhou Qin's first child died from a high fever.

She had no time to worry about her stepmother's affairs and hurriedly followed the man to fetch Doctor Qian.

“With Zhou Qin gone, there’s no one at home, and those two will definitely be able to act shamelessly without restraint.” That’s true. When Zhou Qin was around, they had to be careful and could only meet secretly at night. They wouldn’t dare to commit adultery during the day.

"Those two are running away now. I heard they've packed a lot of luggage. Their family used to own an oxcart."

Only a handful of households in the village own oxcarts.

The village head's family, Widow Shi's family, and the Zhou family.

She began to gloat: "But now we can't use it even if we have it."

"When Hu Dazhu went to town to pick up Hu Yaozu, he borrowed an oxcart from his house."

Liu the matchmaker was so good at dealing with people; she was always eager to associate with scholars.

Yu Tingwan: "Old Zhou asked the village head for a loan, but the village head refused."

After all, the village head's oxcart had to be left in the village for emergencies. When Peng the hunter had his accident, wasn't it his oxcart that took him to the clinic?

Even if Old Zhou promised to return the luggage after he finished unloading it, what if he doesn't return it? Would the village head be happy to accept that?
"He went to Widow Shi's house to borrow money again, saying he was willing to pay, and that he could just buy it."

Yu Tingwan: "Wives Shi have no shortage of money. Let him dream on."

"Old Zhou had no choice but to go to the next village to ask. He seemed to be in a hurry to leave. I'm afraid he couldn't accept the fact that I'm still alive."

He was anxious, and so was Yu Tingwan!

The girl's smile vanished: "But I've been thinking about it all the way here and haven't come to a conclusion."

She was truly overwhelmed.

"Husband, please give me some advice."

Seeing that he was indifferent and didn't care, Yu Tingwan racked her brains to unleash his potential: "Think about it, what if I cheat on you with another man in the future?"

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes.

She tried her best to use metaphors, and even raised her hand to point in one direction.

"I did something to betray you in the bed we just slept in. How will you deal with me?"

Wei Zhao was so angry he almost laughed.

She really dares to say anything.

He smirked: "You won't."

When Yu Tingwan mentioned the Zhou family, the disdain in her tone was unmistakable. Besides, after spending several days together, how could Wei Zhao not see through her temperament?
Yu Tingwan: ...

Then you don't need to trust me so much.

She said meaningfully, "If you're not good to me, it's not impossible that you could be."

After pointing out so many of Wei Shen's shortcomings last time, the girl hoped that Wei Shen would feel a little bit of a sense of crisis.

Wei Zhao's tone was calm, yet seemed to carry a certainty: "You are an upright person and would not do anything shameful while being a wife."

"Who can say for sure? Maybe that person is rich and powerful, and looks better than you. I might have been blinded by love for a moment, who knows?"

Wei Zhao looked at her.

There were quite a few girls who pursued Wei Zhao, and they would blush every time they saw him.

But Yu Tingwan never blushed or felt nervous whenever she took advantage of him.

Last time she even said that it would be best if their future children didn't resemble him, but rather like Peng the Hunter.

Peng the hunter was a burly man with an unkempt appearance and a large stubble beard covering half of his face.

Wei Zhao hadn't thought much about it before, but now he had to.

He looked up and stared straight at Yu Tingwan.

"Better looking than me?"

Who in the capital doesn't know that the young master of the Duke of Shunguo's mansion has eyebrows as black as ink and is as handsome as jade?
When he was studying at the Imperial Academy, he was known for his refined and elegant demeanor.

After going to the battlefield, his eyebrows and eyes became more hard and sharp, and when he had a cold face, his aura was so overwhelming that people could hardly breathe.

Wei Zhao never thought that a man's good looks were something to brag about; on the contrary, he found that his face had brought him a lot of trouble.

But now...

He said somewhat absurdly, "Am I not good-looking?"

Yu Tingwan's eyes darted around, not wanting to discourage him.

Seeing that she had an answer, Wei Zhao was momentarily speechless, perhaps because it was too unbelievable: "What kind of look is that?"
