The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right! Chapter 240: Just Take Pity on Me

Hui Niang looked at Wei Zhao and inquired, "Who do you have in your family?"

Wei Zhao didn’t intend to be vague.

"Only... my biological mother."

"Is she easy to get along with?"

"Unless necessary, I won’t let her interact with my mother."

This...

It seems the mother-son relationship isn’t great.

Hui Niang wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, "Don’t mind nagging, but people in this county look down on those from the village. I’m worried Wan Niang, being from a small place, might invite their disdain."

She repeatedly warned, her words full of tenderness, "If she follows you and doesn’t have a good life, you must, must bring her back to !"

"If you can’t treat her well, let Wan Niang stay at ho."

"The days are long, and I can’t keep her by my side forever; my husband and I are getting old, and we’ll eventually return to dust."

"After you leave, if she wants to remarry, I can still find her a good match."

Wei Zhao’s face darkened.

Hui Niang was only satisfied after Wei Zhao’s repeated assurances.

For Yu Tingwan to say she wasn’t pained would be a lie.

She lowered her eyes, calm and collected, not sure what she was thinking.

After Wei Zhao sent Hui Niang back to the house, he returned.

He had just stepped over the threshold.

Yu Tingwan glanced at him, "When did I agree to leave with you?"

Wei Zhao, holding a food box, paused slightly and closed the door.

"Because of the Yu Family’s fire, you’ll leave."

The matter of the Yu Family was a worry for her.

It hasn’t been investigated yet.

Even if it is, Yu Tingwan worries that those behind it won’t receive due punishnt.

Whether it’s He Xuran or the Grand Tutor Mansion, Yu Tingwan trusts Wei Zhao the most.

Wei Zhao: "With your status, you’ll have to go to the Capital sooner or later."

Yu Tingwan responded expressionlessly, "Oh."

Wei Zhao stared at her intently, "But I still hope there is a bit of my influence intertwined in this."

A little bit, this man seed sowhat humble.

Wei Zhao placed the food box on the table, opened it, and took out the stead custard made from goat milk.

"Here, you have the Wei Family and Old Master Sun. The Yu Family is in Ze County, where Aunt He also enjoys conversing with you."

"People here are all protective of you."

"Earlier, Wei Shen’s mother ca over, you heard what she said."

Yu Tingwan nodded, "Mother is warning you."

She frowned, "After all, I’ve been sharing a bed with you for so long for nothing."

Wei Zhao: ...

A sleep without any action?

Wei Zhao replied coolly, "Yes, the doors of the Wei Family are always open for you. If I abandon you, you can find soone new."

"However, that’s not what I should be worried about."

Yu Tingwan asked him, "What should you be worried about?"

Wei Zhao chuckled coldly, "After your issues are resolved, you’ve obtained my person, taken advantage of both ends, and then ran off."

Yu Tingwan: ...

It seems... that could indeed be sothing she would do.

The rain outside was lessening but still fell. Raindrops hung on the eaves, dropping onto the bluestone slabs.

Drip, drip.

The room fell silent for a while, the passage of ti unclear.

"Following will an leaving your hotown, everything will be unknown."

He looked at her and smiled, "But Yu Tingwan."

"Those prior are all your backups."

Indeed, they were safety nets.

Lady Xiao’s unjust case, Hu Dazhu’s family, Zhao Yu’s entry into the academy... Ultimately, all relied on Wei Zhao’s influence.

Now she has money, and the Wei Family doesn’t have to worry about livelihood.

The Yu Family now belongs to her na. Those who care about her and those she cares for are all in Ze County.

She is no longer alone.

These are the foundations Wei Zhao gave her.

Yu Tingwan was about to nod in agreent.

When she heard him speak gloomily.

"But you can put that out of your mind, don’t think about it."

"That route, you’ll never need it in this lifeti."

Unless...

He fails.

He handed the stead custard to Yu Tingwan.

"You barely ate dinner, you’ll be hungry at night."

Yu Tingwan hesitated for a mont before taking it.

But she didn’t hurry to eat.

Her eyes, clear and bright, seed to read minds.

She opened her mouth but still didn’t ask.

Actually, she didn’t dare to ask.

Wei Zhao’s private actions, she had so guesses.

But didn’t dare to think deeply.

After all, it was quite scary.

Wei Zhao gently brushed her face with his thumb, "What I’m doing will be very dangerous."

"The Capital over there is full of hypocritical people, cloaked in a glamorous appearance, seemingly friendly but stained with blood behind the scenes."

Wei Zhao wasn’t scaring Yu Tingwan, he needed her prepared.

"It’s different here. In Xilin Village and Ze County, the common folk mostly display their evils outwardly."

"Under the Emperor’s feet in the Capital, the bustling place, there’s no shortage of open conflicts and sinister scheming."

Though they loathe each other to the bone, wish to cut others into pieces, when facing each other, they could seemingly chat and laugh like old friends.

Those who ride roughshod due to their status, bullying the weak is more common there.

Wei Zhao feared that speaking too much would frighten Yu Tingwan, so he gave her so reassurance, "However. After you go, few would dare act recklessly before you."

He spoke plainly, but it indeed was the truth.

"Duke Shun Mansion is a family of noble lineage; I don’t disgrace the family."

"If any of the domineering madams and ladies in the Capital act up in your presence, there’s no need to show rcy."

"I have your back."

"I will also ensure your safety."

Yu Tingwan’s hands finally stopped trembling, and she silently bowed her head to eat the stead custard.

The box the girl kept like a treasure must be taken.

The monthly wrap used by the girl and small clothes needed to be taken as well.

Wei Zhao packed them piece by piece.

After so ti, soone pulled at the hem of his clothes.

Yu Tingwan looked up at him, negotiating.

"Can you visit the people you need to see and then co back to pick up when you return to the Capital? Or leave Shunzi here so that he can send to the Capital to et you?"

"I know you don’t want to part."

Wei Zhao sighed, lowered himself, and kissed away the crystalline tears from her eyes.

"It’s not like I won’t co back."

"Once the situation is better, I can bring them to the Capital."

Wei Zhao pondered for a mont, "If I’m not mistaken, Grand Tutor Gu probably has arranged official duties, applied for leave from the Court, and is already on his way here."

"He’s a cautious person, even if he saw He Xuran’s letter, he wouldn’t believe it without seeing you."

Yu Tingwan nodded thoughtfully, negotiating.

"Are you planning for him to co for nothing?"

Wei Zhao: "Honestly, it’s deserved for him to run around."

The daughter could go missing.

Why couldn’t he?

"But... I’m more selfish."

Yu Tingwan: "What?"

"How’s counting the days going?"

Yu Tingwan, puzzled, "Hmm??"

Wei Zhao’s silent gaze fell on her, his eyes holding a dark river, mysterious and unreadable, reminding: "Six more days."

"I’ve already laid everything bare to you. Even if sothing was to happen, it wouldn’t count as taking advantage of you. Right?"

He drew out the last note, "Coming and going, it’ll have to be postponed."

Yu Tingwan understood.

Once, she would have panicked, but now she’s genuinely in no rush.

"Can’t we wait?"

"It’s not like life ends after six days."

And sothing about getting his person.

Dare soone say she’s eagerly pursuing him herself?

The man’s lips descended, grazing her exquisite nose, capturing her soft lips.

He knew Yu Tingwan gave in to gentleness rather than force.

He chuckled, tightened his arm around her, and his tongue darted in, words muffled.

But it made Yu Tingwan tingle all over.

"Just take pity on for once."
