The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 86 I knew you'd start talking nonsense again!

The sky gradually brightened.

I don't know when I'll be back from this trip, so I need to bring enough clothes to change into, and also a quilt.

The mountain road is difficult to travel, and we don't know how many days we'll have to stay on the road, so we need to prepare enough dry food.

Hui Niang went to the kitchen and made a lot of coarse flour buns. After thinking for a moment, she also put pickled radishes and pickled cowpeas in an earthenware jar, and didn't forget to fill her water bag with water.

If it weren't for the fact that the old ox was too old and would tire it out, Hui Niang, who was used to a hard life, would have emptied the house and taken everything she could.

Every option outside costs money.
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment, then took a kitchen knife for self-defense before going back inside to pack her luggage.

Wei Zhao was sitting on the couch, his eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

The girl entered and glanced at him.

“Look, even the heavens are saying that my husband’s life is not meant to end.”

Wei Zhao kept his eyes down.

The girl approached with a joyful stride, and poked Wei Zhao's shoulder with her fingertip.

"What are you thinking about?"

His thin lips moved, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. "Even if a person dies, there will still be people who won't let him rest in peace."

This is interesting.

Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed: "The Fifth Prince came to pick you up, which shows that the court values ​​your general very much."

Wei Zhao chuckled.

It's just for show.

Yu Tingwan added, "The Fifth Prince is the prince whom His Majesty values ​​most. I heard that he is also very capable. Apart from not being born to the Empress, he is no less capable than the Crown Prince in any other way."

The funeral arrangements for General Wei Zhao were truly dignified.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl noticed that Wei Zhao had looked up at her.

"What...what happened?"

"When he was nine years old, he severed the tendons in the hands and feet of his father-in-law who served him, causing him to die from the torture."

The girl's eyes widened like a deer's.

So cruel?

"He is shrewd and calculating, yet hypocritical and pretentious."

Wei Zhao asked indifferently, "Do you think that person in the palace really values ​​him?"

"He's just being used to deal with the Crown Prince."

Those who sit on the dragon throne are the most heartless and ungrateful.

In this world, anyone can be a pawn if the emperor so desires.

Yu Tingwan was stunned: "Huh?"

Thinking he didn't believe him, Wei Zhao said slowly, "He's not very smart."

Yu Tingwan was skeptical: "Who said that?"

"I said."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

I knew you'd start talking nonsense again!

The girl was perceptive and guessed that Wei Shen was upset because she had mentioned General Wei.

The girl asked cautiously, "I've been very confused these past few days."

She tried to be tactful: "Was it glorious for you to come back back then?"

"I'm a little worried."

The girl's voice was gentle and soft: "If you have a secret you don't want to tell me, then I shouldn't ask. But my husband needs to let me know what's going on."

“If the doctor in town can’t cure us, we’ll have to go to Ze County. But I’m worried that the doctor in Ze County might not be able to help us either… If my husband has any conflicts with the Wei family army, we should avoid them.”

It's no wonder she's overthinking things.

Wei Shen's chest was clearly injured by a weapon.

The border is quite far from Xilin Village.

She worried that Wei Shen had taken advantage of the chaos in the military camp after General Wei's death in battle to escape back.

Over the years, I've heard of other military camps where people deserted and were executed according to military regulations. I'm afraid Wei Shen's wound was inflicted by soldiers who noticed him and chased him down.

Wei Zhao listened without expression.

"You think I deserted?"

Seeing this, Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She denied it: "I didn't."

"You have."

Wei Zhao looked at her in silence.

Yu Tingwan felt guilty: "Okay, I did."

She coughed lightly, patted Wei Shen's shoulder, and comforted him, "People can come back to life. Anyway, we're going there anyway. When General Wei's coffin passes through Ze County, I'll go with you to kowtow to him."

At this point, Yu Tingwan added softly, "You can also get together with the brothers of the Wei family army again."

Wei Zhao: ...If he goes, those people will think they've seen a ghost.

"No."

Yu Tingwan: "You must be really looking forward to it."

"Do not."

Not at all.

Yu Tingwan muttered to herself, "The scene must be very touching."

Wei Zhao:......

It's scary.

---

Yu Tingwan and Huiniang were busy going in and out, trying their best not to bring anything they didn't need to, but they were also afraid of forgetting something.

Peng, the hunter, felt at ease leaving the child in their home, and Yu Tingwan had no intention of keeping Yue Shan there.

However, she spoke to Yue Shan in a gentle voice.

"Come with us on our trip; the road conditions will be tough, and you'll suffer."

Yue Shan wasn't afraid of hardship, but he was afraid of being abandoned, so his aunt asked Aunt Wu or Li Lian to take care of him.

"I want to go with my aunt."

He quickly replied, "I'm very capable."

Yu Tingwan: "Okay."

"The capable Yue Shan helped his aunt feed the cow."

Yu Tingwan tied up the chickens at home, told Hui Niang, and went out the door. She hurried towards Aunt Wu's house.

Before we even got close, we could hear noises coming from next door to the Wu family's house.

It was Wang's impatient scolding.

"How could Dalang have married someone as blind as you! It's one thing to be clumsy and unable to take care of the child, but you even manage to drop a basin?"

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."

"Please clean up the floor! I hate seeing you."

Perhaps because the bullied Yu Tingwan was gone, Madam Wang's attitude towards Madam Xu worsened, to the point where she was almost ready to take action.

She glanced at the angry but speechless young woman, Ms. Xu, on the ground, spat, and swaggered out.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Yu Tingwan.

Wang's face immediately darkened.

She sneered, "What are you doing back here?"

Could it be that life in the Wei family is too hard, and they regret it and want to come back?

Yu Tingwan didn't even look at her, and went straight to knock on the Wu family's door.

"Who is it? They're here."

It was Wu's pregnant wife who opened the door.

Upon seeing her, his eyes lit up, and he quickly invited her inside.

Yu Tingwan went inside.

But after a moment's hesitation, she withdrew.

The girl met Wang's gaze and uttered two words: "Bad luck."

Wang: ? ? ?
The Wu family's door was closed, shutting out her insults.

Yu Tingwan looked at Wu Xiaoxi's round belly and said, "You're about to give birth, aren't you?"

Wu's wife smiled and said, "Yes, it will be in the next couple of days."

Envy flashed in Yu Tingwan's eyes.

Unfortunately, she is destined to never be able to conceive again.

Fortunately, she was also afraid of pain and didn't have to suffer that pain.

The girl explained her purpose.

"I'm going to town today. There's no one home. I don't have any valuables, so I'm not worried about petty theft, but the chickens at home need to be fed."

Hui Niang wanted to kill the chickens at home and take them with her; since it was cold, they wouldn't spoil. She planned to stew them all for her husband to help him recover.

Once outside, we need to find a doctor and a place to stay.

If you're renting a place, you'll have to buy all the pots, pans, and utensils you need for cooking.

We can't bring everything from home.

If Wei Shouzhong were here, he would have brought it along.

But this time, only women and children were with them, and a patient who could only walk a few steps.

It's inconvenient in some ways.

"I just wanted to ask if I could keep it at your house for a few days."

"It won't be long. I reckon my dad will be coming down the mountain in the next few days."
