Chapter 50 Wiping Body
Perhaps because he was angered by Yu Tingwan too many times, Wei Zhao did not find the girl's words shocking.
But he was more or less offended.
He pulled his hand back expressionlessly, and he really couldn't understand what Yu Tingwan wanted?
Just to have a kind mother-in-law?
But in this world, women are weak, and it is the biggest taboo for them to be beautiful without a prominent family background and not be able to protect them.
Her husband passed away, and she had no children to rely on. Wei Shouzhong and his wife were old. If something happened, the widow would be unable to move.
Yu Tingwan did not seem to be a confused person.
Li Lian was obviously helping her to find a man, and even if the man she introduced had shortcomings, he was still a support, but she insisted on entering the Wei family.
In recent years, many people wanted to make friends with Wei Zhao.
Let's not talk about those who tried to get close to him in the officialdom. There were many people
who flattered him and tried to call him a brother, and there were also many who came to stay at his house under the guise of being a distant relative.
But... Yu Tingwan was the first one to be his sister.
However, Wei Zhao had already taken care of himself and would not ask if there were any other hidden secrets.
He did not care, had no temper, and even acquiesced to prevent Yu Tingwan from doing anything out of line again.
Yu Tingwan threw the cotton cloth into the basin, soaked it up with water, wrung it out, and wiped Wei Zhao's face.
Wei Zhao did not move and let her do it.
Yu Tingwan was silent in the Hu family, simply because she had nothing to say to those people from the Wang family.
But it was different now.
She whispered, "I think something happened at my uncle's house."
The uncle she was talking about was Zhao Yong.
Yu Tingwan said to Wei Zhao, "When you got into trouble, they should have come to visit, but they didn't show up."
"At that time, we hadn't separated yet. My husband spent a lot of money on Doctor Qian. My mother was afraid that the family savings were not enough, so she ran back to her mother's house to borrow money."
But the Zhao family was just an ordinary family, and their lives were not much better than those of the Wei family.
Hui Niang came back empty-handed that time. No one knew what happened, but when she came back, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"But a few days later, my aunt asked people in her village to help run errands and sent three hundred coins to my mother, saying it was not much and it should be used for emergency." I'm
afraid this money was also borrowed from outside.
She wiped Wei Zhao's neck again. The girl's movements were gentle, and the cotton cloth wiped across her Adam's apple, which brought a sense of itch.
"My uncle's home is not in Linxi Village. Not to mention the cold weather, the snow on the ground outside is so thick. We should have stayed overnight, but we left in the dark."
"Just now I saw my mother stuff the three hundred coins back, and even the red envelope that my aunt gave this time was not collected."
After saying this, Yu Tingwan felt something was wrong, tightened his lips, and stopped moving.
Wei Zhao's ears were quiet.
He met Yu Tingwan's resentful eyes.
He had a premonition that if he didn't respond to her, Yu Tingwan would hit him.
Wei Zhao had a headache.
In the past, Hui Niang was whispering in his ear, and it didn't matter if he ignored her.
But Yu Tingwan couldn't do that. She didn't play a solo, and obviously wanted his response.
He had said enough in this day.
Wei Zhao said weakly: "Really?"
Even if these two words were not sincere, Yu Tingwan was satisfied, she analyzed.
"Only uncle and aunt came to the Zhao family this time."
Their son Zhao Yu was not seen.
Wei Shen got married, and Zhao Yu, as a cousin, should have come with him.
"If it was a normal day, we should ask, but today the elders didn't mention it. It seems that they are not surprised, and they are afraid to mention sad things on such a happy day."
Yu Tingwan: "I'm afraid something happened to my cousin."
She remembered that Hu Yaozu mentioned Zhao Yu at the dinner table of the Hu family.
【“Zhao Yu from Zhaojia Village and I have the same teacher. He is hardworking and determined, but he was enlightened late and is also stupid. The teacher advised him not to waste money on studying,”】
【“But her mother is stubborn and went to the college, saying that only by studying can one have a bright future. Her ancestors have been farmers for generations, digging the land with hoes. They have no power and no money, so when things go wrong, they can only be bullied by others.”】
【“She also said...she also said that if Zhao Yu had a bright future through studying, he could give justice to his cousin who died tragically.”】
Wang couldn't hide her contempt when she heard this.
["Not everyone is as gifted as you, Erlang, in studying."]
She had no sympathy.
["Isn't it Xiaoniang? She's dead and buried. Why don't you give up?"]
Yu Tingwan didn't know that she would have any intersection with the Zhao family.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, but mother didn't mention it, so I didn't ask."
It's useless to ask, she's afraid she can't help.
Wei Zhao, who can really help, moved his pale lips: "Oh."
He didn't know her, what does it have to do with him?
He started to take off his shirt.
Wei Zhao's hands suddenly grabbed the quilt: "What are you doing?"
Yu Tingwan was very sincere: "Wipe the body."
Wei Zhao had no desire to live.
This was not the first time Yu Tingwan saw him on top. But the girl was focused on applying medicine last time, and now she took a quick look.
The chest is strong and broad, and the abdomen and waist are thin. It seems... very powerful.
What an illusion.
Yu Tingwan let out a cry of surprise.
"What..."
Wei Zhao followed her line of sight and saw the crisscrossing scars, new and old wounds stacked up.
Seeing her face turn pale, Wei Zhao slowly loosened his clenched hands.
His eyes were empty, and he raised his hand, his fingertips falling on his waist and abdomen.
"This is the injury I got when I was thirteen years old in a competition."
At that time, he had not yet formed the Wei Family Army.
"He has always been defeated by me, so I didn't take that fight seriously. I boasted of my extraordinary skills, so I learned a lesson."
"The injury was not serious at the time, and it would not leave scars if I took good care of it. But I deliberately left it to take it as a warning."
Were you so cruel at the age of thirteen?
This country boy had to use a knife in a fight?
Yu Tingwan asked casually: "How is that man now?"
Wei Zhao: "Three days later, I ignored the injury and beat him up."
"He was convinced and became my deputy general."
Yu Tingwan:...
Okay, okay, I'm going to start bragging.
Wei Zhao pointed to another scar.
"Two years ago, this place was hit by a poisoned arrow."
Yu Tingwan didn't know which of his words were true and which were false!
But it was a good thing that Wei Zhao was willing to talk.
His tone was even: "Ordinary people can't get close to me, and the Wei family army is heavily guarded. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's like a fortress, but there is a traitor next to me."
How could Wei Zhao not know that there was something wrong with the person under his nose.
But this person couldn't be touched. The one who had private contact with him was Eunuch Hong who was beside the emperor.
Need I say who wanted to get rid of him?
He, Wei Zhao, had made countless contributions and
had long been feared by the emperor. But he had been prestigeous for many years, and the traitor was afraid before taking action.
"His hand was shaking, and the arrow should have missed."
Yu Tingwan looked at the scar, then at Wei Zhao.
"Then what happened?"
Wei Zhao said listlessly: "How can I refute other people's painstaking efforts?"
"I took a few steps and let him hit it."
