The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!

Chapter 530 - 525: Can’t You Tell? I’m Feeling Guilty!

Yu Tingwan’s pregnancy so far has been worry-free, with no nausea or vomiting, and no backache or fatigue. She just sleeps a bit more than usual each day.

Ning Suxuan took back the management authority.

Actually...

She thought Yu Tingwan was full of energy.

Managing a household should be well within her capabilities.

But on the day she got the news and returned from the outskirts, Yu Tingwan pretended to be struggling with a pile of account books in front of her.

——"Recently, I always feel a headache when I look at the account books."

Ning Suxuan: ...

How many days have you said you don’t want to be lazy without a headache?

——"Perhaps it’s because the mother’s dear granddaughter does not love looking at them."

What can Ning Suxuan do?

Except for not doing her duties, Yu Tingwan does everything else.

After all... she really is not used to being idle.

In the garden, there is a loquat tree.

The few fruits on the top of the tree have ripened first, hanging golden among the dark green leaves. The loquats within Yu Tingwan’s reach are still hard and green.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the loquat leaves, casting fragmented light spots on the cyan stone slabs.

With a flick of her wrist, a sleeve arrow flew out.

Missed.

Yu Tingwan wasn’t discouraged.

She hadn’t practiced in a long time.

After six tries, there was a crack, the arrowhead grazing through the fork of several branches, and that string of golden loquats rustled down.

In her previous life, she was as weak as a chicken, unable even to resist. In this life, she has been well-protected.

The hidden weapon given by Wei Zhao is only used like this by Yu Tingwan.

She peeled one and ate it, sweet.

Yu Tingwan munching as she wandered over to Ning Suxuan.

Ning Suxuan just glanced up at her for a moment, then quickly lowered her head to continue working.

Yu Tingwan walked over.

"Mother-in-law."

"What is it?"

"Seeing Mother-in-law work so hard, it really makes my heart ache."

Who has sweeter words than you!

She sat for a while without causing trouble, and before leaving, didn’t forget to swipe a plate of snacks from the table. Then she turned to Shen Jin’s courtyard to listen to Shen Jin play the zither.

Yu Tingwan thought, little girls should be nurtured from a young age.

After listening, she glanced at the bird and tiger who insisted on following her.

Fu Meng quickly raised his tiger paw, clapping vigorously.

The black crow circled in the air, squawking: "Caiying! Listen! It’s incredibly good, incredibly good!"

Shen Jin: ...

Never seen someone bring a crow and white tiger as an audience.

On the Yiling Ancestor’s birthday, to avoid bumps along the way, the carriage was fitted with thick cushions. The sun was no longer scorching, but it was still stuffy by afternoon.

Fortunately, there were ice blocks prepared on the table.

Wei Zhao took leave from the court, Ning Suxuan settled the household affairs, and the group wasn’t in a rush, as they first took a three-day carriage journey.

When they returned to the Capital before, Yu Tingwan got seasick.

Wei Zhao initially intended to only take a half-day boat ride and then switch back to a carriage at the dock across the river.

But who knew this time Yu Tingwan showed no signs of discomfort.

She even leisurely found a fishing rod from who knows where, went to the stern, and lay on Wei Zhao for a nap when tired.

"So carefree, must truly be a lazy girl."

Ning Suxuan remarked, "At least she knows how to seek comfort."

An hour passed.

Yu Tingwan was quite unhappy: "Why hasn’t my rod moved?"

Wei Zhao: "Lack of skill."

Yu Tingwan: ???

"If you think you’re so good, why don’t you try?"

Wei Zhao, without hesitation: "I’m not good either."

Yu Tingwan: ...

"You, a grown man, can’t say that..."

Wei Zhao placed his palm on her lower abdomen, where there was no sign of pregnancy showing yet.

Wei Zhao slowly: "Can’t do what?"

Wei Zhao: "Who else do I need to prove it to?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Yu Tingwan: "But I want to eat fish."

"There is some on the boat."

All fresh, caught by the boatman early in the morning.

Yu Tingwan said sweetly: "But the good girl says she wants to eat the ones I caught."

Wei Zhao did not believe it.

The child isn’t much trouble, but the child’s mother surely is.

Wei Zhao and she exchanged a glance.

"You..."

Just from one look, he knew she wouldn’t say anything pleasant!

Yu Tingwan was about to cover his mouth.

But it was too late.

Wei Zhao said matter-of-factly: "Too bad, she can only stay hungry then."

Yu Tingwan: ???

She punched Wei Zhao without hesitation.

"Gui Zhi."

Shen Jin’s voice came from behind.

She didn’t know why Yu Tingwan suddenly hit her husband under normal circumstances, but...

"Your wife is pregnant with twins, be more accommodating."

Shen Jin: "You’re a military general, strong as steel, her punch will hurt."

Yu Tingwan didn’t think it hurt initially.

But with Shen Jin saying that, she really began to feel fragile.

She held up her own fist.

"My fist is red!"

Wei Zhao was almost amused to anger, he picked up a long-handled bamboo water scoop next to him, dipped it into the river, breaking the glittering waves, scooping up a basin of water sparkling with golden shards.

He didn’t say anything, just placed Yu Tingwan’s fist into the scoop, rinsing it a bit.

"Is it still red?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

Oh.

Forgot.

She had just been playing with Ning Suxuan’s painting pigments.

Yu Tingwan lowered her head, remaining silent for a long time.

Wei Zhao: "What’s wrong?"

He frowned, ready to think she was unwell.

"Can’t you see?"

Yu Tingwan, loudly: "I’m feeling guilty."

Wei Zhao: ...

Your volume tells me, you’re not.

When the boat docked, Wei Zhao helped everyone to the shore one after another.

Shunzi and the others were busy unloading the goods from the boat, besides the luggage, there were presents brought from Shangjing for the Grandfather, as well as first-time meeting gifts from Yu Tingwan and Shen Jin for the elders and younger generations.

The dock was bustling, porters with bare feet climbed the moss-streaked steps with creaking burdened poles.

On both sides were resting tea stalls and various stalls selling fruits and fish.

Yu Tingwan found everything novel, it was a different local culture from Shangjing.

With the Wei Family Army in regular clothes protecting them, Shen Jin and Ning Suxuan walked in front, with Yu Tingwan and Wei Zhao at the back.

After leaving the dock, they hired a carriage to head straight for the Wei Family Ancestral Mansion.

The Wei Family Ancestral Mansion.

In front of the vermilion door hung lanterns with the character for longevity, and as the wind blew, they rustled past the gilded door plaque above.

The Wei Clan Elder, hair graying, wrapped in a silk robe with pine crane embroidery, leaned lazily on a huanghuali wooden recliner receiving gifts.

A stage was set up in front, performing "Ma Gu Presents Birthday."

The grandchildren stepped forward respectfully to kowtow, presenting a Longevity Picture, a Jade Ruyi...

Besides the grandchildren, many notable figures from Yiling were keen to pay their respects, hoping to catch the eye of someone influential from Shangjing.

Yet, after waiting a long while, they didn’t see who they wanted to see.

"Wei Clan Elder."

Someone couldn’t help but inquire: "Has no one come from Shangjing yet?"

The elder gave him a glance. Having received no notice of anyone coming from Shangjing, he assumed they couldn’t free themselves.

"Gui Zhi is busy with official duties, and his wife’s pregnancy isn’t stable yet, how could they manage such a journey?"

Truly lacking consideration for others.

"But..."

The elder defended: "Is it because it’s not your grandchildren, so you don’t know how to be considerate?"

"This..."

But at your age, to say it bluntly, you might not have many birthdays left, surely they should come.

But such words are not easy to say.
