Chapter 43 I'm glad you're okay
The night was getting darker.
Perhaps because she was frightened during the day, Yu Tingwan didn't sleep well at night. Trapped by nightmares, sweat on her forehead, her breathing became rapid, and she woke up suddenly.
Yu Tingwan curled up in one place, hugging her bedding, with fear flickering in her eyes.
Some pictures flashed in front of her eyes.
Paper money was flying, and there were bursts of crying. The wind and snow were rolling, and the cold was biting.
She saw herself in her wedding dress, stumbling to the street, asking for help from the Wei family army carrying the coffin.
The deputy general drew the sword from his waist, waving it in the air with a cold light, pointing directly at her.
"Anyone who disturbs the general's remains will die!"
Yu Tingwan did not panic and retreat, because the Dong family servants behind her were wolves and tigers. But they were afraid of the Wei family army and stopped, and did not dare to step forward.
The group of people in front of them were Yu Tingwan's lifeline.
With tears in her eyes and a trembling voice, she knelt down in front of the coffin, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
"I was forced by my aunt to be sold to a squire in his seventies as a wife from the Dong family. I shouldn't disturb the general's peace, but I really have no other choice."
"The general died, and the emperor couldn't eat or sleep because of this. He ignored the ministers' advice and made an exception to bury him with the ceremony of a prince. I heard that the people in the capital spontaneously posted white couplets and hung mourning banners, and the whole country was in grief."
"But the Dong family of Ze County, across the street, held a wedding banquet with loud gongs and drums today. The people of Ze County should have mourned, but he didn't take the general into consideration at all. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was looking for trouble!"
The people of the Wei family army all changed their faces.
What a Dong family!
How dare they!
Not to mention them, the faces of those court officials who were ordered to come to receive Wei Zhao's coffin were uglier than each other.
The magistrate of Ze County was sweating on his forehead, but he didn't have time to wipe it off.
"Come here, drag this woman of unknown origin away!"
Yu Tingwan looked over coldly.
"Is the county magistrate trying to protect the Dong family, or is he afraid that the matter of Ze County will be heard by the emperor and he will lose his official hat, so he is in a hurry to arrest me?"
She didn't need to say anything else, the anger in the deputy general's eyes could no longer be hidden.
He slashed at the county magistrate's shoulder with a sword.
"This sword was awarded by the general when he was alive, and blood will be drawn when
it is unsheathed!" "Ze County is a small place, if there is a little disturbance, how can you, the county magistrate, not receive the news?"
"Why don't you care!"
"Did you receive the benefits, or did you think that we would not stay, and death is like the extinguishing of a light, so you don't take the general seriously!"
"The Dong family should die, and you should be killed too!"
Seeing this, the Dong family's servants retreated in fear.
Yu Tingwan knew that she had won the bet.
Then, she heard someone shouting behind her.
"Wan Niang."
There was a light flashing in her eyes, and she turned around suddenly to see Hu Dazhu running towards her.
Hu Dazhu's eyes were full of red bloodshot, and he was haggard. I'm afraid she hasn't slept for all this time.
Hu Dazhui pulled her up from the ground with trembling fingers.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
"They all say you were taken away by a wild beast, but I never believe it. You're not as unlucky as your mother."
Behind him was Hu Yaozu who was chasing after him.
Hu Yaozui's caring eyes were always on Yu Tingwan, and they didn't move at all.
He wanted to say something but stopped, and finally said nothing.
Having suffered a lot of grievances these days, Yu Tingwan was completely overwhelmed after seeing Hu Dazhui. She threw herself on Hu Dazhui, tears bursting out.
Hu Dazhui patted her on the back: "Cry, no one can bully you anymore when your uncle is around. Let's go home when you've cried enough."
Yu Ting's body froze, and she backed out of Hu Dazhui's arms little by little.
"How did your uncle know I was in the county?"
Hu Dazhui didn't dare to look at her red eyes.
"Your aunt said so."
He didn't say the twists and turns. He also didn't say how he found out the trick and pried open Wang's mouth.
Seeing this, Hu Yaozu hurriedly said, "Wanmei, it was my mother who did something wrong this time. Dad has beaten her and scolded her, and she knows she was wrong."
Yu Tingwan seemed not to hear what he said, and just looked at Hu Dazhu.
She actually knew that it was not an exaggeration for Hu Dazhu to treat her like his own daughter over the years. But she knew even more how much Hu Dazhu valued Hu Yaozu.
Even if Hu Dazhu was annoyed with Wang, he would not divorce her for the sake of Hu Yaozu's face, let alone make a big deal about it.
How could she compare with Hu Yaozu's future and reputation?
Yu Tingwan couldn't say she was disappointed, she just thought it was ridiculous.
She heard herself ask very softly, "It's like this, uncle, do you think I can still go back with you without any grudges?"
The scene stopped abruptly, but the sadness and helplessness spread in her heart little by little.
Yu Tingwan let out a deep breath.
————
Time passed quickly, and the wedding day came in a blink of an eye.
Yu Tingwan got up early and prepared to go to the Wei family first to paste various wedding characters. On the day of the big wedding, her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
Hui Niang had to prepare the banquet, and it was impossible for one person to handle it. Yu Tingwan thought that she would go to the kitchen
after the wedding characters were pasted. She was afraid that the wedding dress would be stained with oil, so she planned to change it when it was almost sunset before the wedding ceremony.
But as soon as she went out, she ran into Aunt Wu who came to look for her.
Aunt Wu was wondering why the Wei family had posted red couplets on the door. She wanted to go in and ask, but when she saw Yu Tingwan opening the door and walking out, she put the matter behind her.
She pulled the person to the corner and muttered mysteriously.
"Wan Niang, can you really tell fortunes?"
Yu Tingwan:...
What can she do.
The last time I reminded the young wife of the Wu family not to be bumped into was also because of her memories of her previous life.
But her memories are incomplete.
Meeting Aunt Wu's shining eyes, Yu Tingwan hesitated for a moment: "It's hard to say."
Aunt Wu: "I'm asking for someone else. If the calculation is correct, she is willing to pay fifty cents!"
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan did not hesitate: "I'm very strong!"
Aunt Wu was overjoyed. After looking around, he was still worried, so he pulled Yu Tingwan into the old house, and then he lowered his voice and explained the situation: "The child called me aunt, and was married off by the stepmother early."
"She rarely goes back to her parents' home. It's not that her biological mother's death anniversary is approaching, and she came back to stay overnight. This stay is extraordinary. I can see that her stepmother is not right, as if she has symptoms of morning sickness. I thought I was overthinking it, after all, her father has been dead for several years. How can the stepmother
get pregnant?" She covered her mouth: "But her stepmother went to the midwife who specializes in delivering babies in Sandun Village like a thief, and brought back some medicine. She saw something was wrong, secretly grabbed some and ran to ask old man Qian, and when she asked, she found out that the medicine was an abortion drug."
"Wan Niang, you can calculate that the boy from the Xu family will harm my Xiufen, which shows that you are capable. This adultery is not easy to catch, you quickly help her calculate which lover the child belongs to."
Yu Tingwan:...
You really think fortune telling is a god.
Wait...
She seems to know who this stepmother is.
Liu the matchmaker.
The person Aunt Wu was talking about was Liu the matchmaker’s stepdaughter Zhou Qin.
She knew!
This child was Zhou Qin’s biological grandfather’s!
After the birth, it was unknown whether the child would call Zhou Qin sister, or Zhou Qin would call someone uncle/aunt.
Anyway, they were all Zhou family’s offspring!!!
Seeing Yu Tingwan’s strange expression, Aunt Wu urged.
“What’s wrong? Hurry up and calculate.”
“I dare to calculate, but you dare not listen.”
How dirty!
