The Husband I Snagged Halfway Is Off

With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...

Chapter 420 You kid questioned me

The streets were noisy, and the laughter of children penetrated from afar, which was very contagious.

Before Yu Tingwan returned home, she went to the two shops that Ning Suchan had asked her to check the accounts.

After a short delay, it was half an hour later when she got back on the carriage back home.

She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked around. She knew that the street she would pass was the direction of the teahouse where she usually bought dim sum.

Thinking of dim sum, she looked at the food box given by the nanny.

It had not been opened yet.

She was a little hungry, so she took it.

Opened it.

The first layer was dim sum she had never seen before, placed on a blue and white porcelain plate, but there was a note on the side that said Cherry Biro.

Each one was round and plump, with a light pink skin. It was filled with cherries and wrapped in thin dough.

It looked very good, and she couldn't bear to eat it.

Yu Tingwan opened the second layer of the food box.

The rich milky aroma quickly replaced the sweet fragrance of cherries.

It was a familiar taste to her.

Yu Tingwan's expression changed slightly.

Unlike the ordinary styles bought in the teahouse before, each piece of dim sum is not big, one in one mouth, but it is extremely delicate, like a blooming peony, each petal is lifelike and crystal clear.

Take a bite, the skin is crispy, and the inside is soft.

Such delicious dim sum, it turns out that it really looks like this.

But this one is too complicated.

She usually eats it, and it is not easy to maintain the taste with the simplest pattern.

This is the dim sum in the palace.

The nanny mentioned on the way to send her out of the palace that there is a dish that Princess Jiashan likes to eat the most.

When she got married, the cook who served her food and drinks learned it from the imperial chef in the empress dowager's small kitchen.

As the wheels rolled, Tan Jiang, who was driving a carriage outside, heard Yu Tingwan's voice.

"How is the matter I asked you to investigate a few days ago?"

Tan Jiang just remembered that she forgot to report it, and hurriedly said: "Madam, it was my negligence. There is nothing unusual in that teahouse."

Nothing unusual?

Yu Tingwan heard her shallow breathing.

She blinked lightly.

That's right.

In Shangjing, it's very difficult to find out what the Gu family doesn't allow.

"Stop in front."

The teahouse still didn't have many customers, and business was bleak.

As Yu Tingwan entered, the dozing shopkeeper suddenly started and hurried forward.

"Madam."

Shopkeeper: "Are you going upstairs to the private room this time, or are you going to pack it up and let me pack it for you?"

Yu Tingwan lifted her skirt and went upstairs, leaving only one sentence: "Who handed it over to you in the Taifu Mansion? Let him come over."

The shopkeeper's smile paused, his face pale.

But the one Yu Tingwan was waiting for was not the servant of the Gu family.

It was Jiashan.

She seemed to be in a hurry, and her clothes had obvious wrinkles.

When people arrived outside the private room, there was another moment of hesitation. Jiashan moved very lightly, for fear of disturbing the people inside.

But the teahouse was old and still made a creaking sound.

The girl sitting inside heard the sound and looked over.

Seeing that it was her, she didn't seem surprised. It was

rare for Yu Tingwan not to stand up and salute, and the emotion in her eyes was too strong.

Jiashan walked in and watched her expression carefully.

She knew that Yu Tingwan didn't want to be too involved with the Gu family.

She was afraid that Yu Tingwan would feel burdened

and resistant about the snacks.

She knew something bad was going to happen when someone from the teahouse went to the Gu family.

"It's my fault."

Jiashan walked in: "But does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

She was a little anxious: "Yaoyao, I..."

The tea was gurgling in the teapot. Yu Tingwan asked Jiashan to sit down and poured a cup to her.

"The tea here is not good, and the price is cheap. I'm afraid it can't compare to the Taifu Mansion."

How could Jiashan complain?

It was the first time she drank the tea brewed by Yu Tingwan.

The teacup in her hand was inconspicuous, but she held it with both hands and cherished it very much.

Yu Tingwan's eyes fell on her hand. It was well maintained, but there were burns on it.

Her throat tightened slightly: "You must have felt a lot of pain when you gave birth that year?"

Jiashan was slightly stunned.

Yu Tingwan: "I had a miscarriage, premature birth, and it was a dilapidated temple with insufficient conditions. The doctor was also dispersed by the disaster victims who were making trouble outside."

"I heard it was a life-and-death struggle."

How could it not hurt?

Jiashan still remembers the chaotic scene and her heart-wrenching pain.

But looking at the graceful girl in front of her, everything is worth it.

Yu Tingwan: "Madam should rarely cook."

Without waiting for Jiashan to say anything else. She said to herself: "When I first started learning to cook, I often hurt myself."

But her cooking skills have not improved at all. Apart from being full, the taste is really bad.

"You... really don't have to be so condescending and be so roundabout."

What does condescending mean?

Jiashan's heart tightened.

Yu Tingwan said in a light tone: "Maybe I am a little unkind."

She knew that they could not avoid exchanges, and it was common to meet each other. When they met, they said hello and knew that the other party was doing well, so she took it for granted that that was it.

But she was wrong in the end.

"Maybe I am not a mother yet. I don't understand the pain of pregnancy and childbirth."

But she ignored the instinct of parents to be close to their children.

"My heart knot is too deep, and I want to be unkind and ignore the kindness of you and the master."

"Yaoyao."

Jiashan subconsciously wanted to hold her hand.

Yu Tingwan: "You make me feel very embarrassed."

"Please don't send me snacks anymore."

Jiashan's face seemed to have lost all the color: "Yaoyao."

"I didn't mean to use snacks to sell to you. I'm just happy that you are willing to eat them..."

"Let me do something."

Yu Tingwan stood in Jiashan's perspective and helped to weigh the pros and cons: "But I can't give back too much. You've worked hard and maybe it's all in vain. Why bother..."

"Child, even if you don't eat it or throw it away, it doesn't matter. Let me do something for you, okay?"

Yu Tingwan saw that her eyes were slightly red and hesitated for a moment.

"Okay."

Jia Mansion.

An unexpected guest was welcomed.

The blue crow jumped up and down with joy.

Wei Zhao sent it away.

Ge Lao excitedly went back to the house and took out a porcelain bottle.

"General, I was free some time ago and figured out a poison powder."

Wei Zhao asked, "How does it work?"

"It can't be detected as toxic, but it is colorless and odorless. If you come into contact with a scent that can trigger the poison within three days, you will be infected."

Ge Lao: "It won't endanger your life, but you will feel unbearable pain in your dreams at midnight."

Wei Zhao: "I don't believe it."

Ge Lao: ? ? ?

You kid questioned me!

Wei Zhao thought for a while: "I have to find someone to try the effect."

Ying Fuyan gave him an idea: "How about Ying Yin."

As his staff, I really annoy him. Too many trivial things.

Wei Zhao glanced at him with a crazy look: "He is a nobleman, and there are many talented people around him, and he is more vigilant than anyone else. It is not easy to drug them."

That's right.

The next moment, his tone was light.

"But since we have to take risks, we might as well be thorough."

Wei Zhao: "Let me think about it."

Ge Lao's eyelids jumped: "What are you thinking?"

"The deployment is almost done."

It's time to start the counterattack.
