The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!

Chapter 354 - 351: I Get It, You’re Seducing Me

The emerald waves ripple, willows brush the embankment, and from outside the room, the occasional eerie cry of a green crow echoes.

Inside, the window is half-open, and a breeze slips in, lifting the curling incense on the sandalwood enamored beast-ear censer, sending it into the embroidered curtains of crabapple flowers adorned with gold and silver threads.

Wei Zhao intended to hold someone in his arms and nap for a while, but was stunned by what he heard.

Perhaps just awakened, the girl’s eyes rippled with spring colors, her tone coquettishly teasing as if genuine. As long as she did not speak of love, it would not be dry. For a moment, he almost believed he was truly here for a secret affair.

Wei Zhao’s eyelids twitched, he was silent for a moment, then let out a soft snort through his nose.

Already dignified and otherworldly, after returning to Shangjing, he added the sharpness of a military general, and now there was an aura of charm that others could not glimpse.

He followed Yu Tingwan’s words.

"Yes, she indeed has a big temper."

Yu Tingwan: ??

Wei Zhao: "She often resorts to violence, nowhere near your gentle and endearing nature."

"Nonsense!"

His gaze was as clear as water, and his slender fingers, through the fabric of their clothes, explored inch by inch the girl’s perfectly proportioned figure.

"How come you’re angry when I compliment you?"

Wei Zhao’s tone was leisurely, neither fast nor slow: "Your husband is rarely away, and you secretly left the door open for me. I came even at the risk of being caught by my family’s one."

"Though we cannot show ourselves to others, my heart only holds you, isn’t that good?"

Yu Tingwan was choked silent.

But that wasn’t what she was concerned about!

She glared: "I think her nature is excellent!"

She has so many virtues!

Yu Tingwan told Wei Zhao: "She is virtuous, mindful of the family, upstanding in character, gentle, respectful, thrifty, and good-looking too."

"Then that’s strange."

Wei Zhao quietly asked: "If I have such a good person by my side, why am I still unclear with you? It doesn’t make sense."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Why be serious now!

Unaware of the danger, Wei Zhao slowly concluded: "I see, you’re seducing me."

"Initially, I sat steadfast, but I couldn’t resist your repeated teasing."

Yu Tingwan gazed absurdly at the man in front of her, pressing down his wandering hand.

"Why isn’t it that you’re morally corrupt and obliviated by desire, invading my tent again and again despite having a family?"

Wei Zhao was agreeable: "That could work too."

"Thank you, madam, for fulfilling me."

Yu Tingwan frowned and thought deeply for a moment.

"In that case, we..."

"Both seem to be scoundrels."

Wei Zhao buried himself in her neck and let out a muffled laugh. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, making his ears move slightly.

"General."

Soon, Rong Di’s voice came from outside.

"The Fifth Prince has brought an Imperial Physician from the palace, saying it’s by the order of the Holy Emperor, to check on you."

Wei Zhao’s brows knitted coldly.

The Dog Emperor is being disgusting again.

The Fifth Prince Ying Yin wore casual attire, an eagle with outstretched wings embroidered on the lapel, his head bound with a golden crown. He was elegant and poised, his gaze steady, but lurking within were ambition and desire.

Although Emperor Ying had not yet established a successor, he had the highest chance of succeeding.

Once inside Duke Shun Mansion, upon entering Lan Garden, a strong medicinal scent filled the air, extremely unpleasant.

Ying Yin, however, showed no change in expression, striding towards Wei Zhao, who was being wheeled in to meet him.

"Gui Zhi, no need for formalities."

Wei Zhao: ...

Didn’t intend to.

Ying Yin: "A lot has happened recently, and I’ve been a bit negligent with you. But you know, Father holds you in high esteem. He worries because you don’t have an Imperial Physician by your side, so he sent a physician to check on you for improvement."

He discreetly evaluated Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao’s breathing was weak, he coughed lightly, his shoulders trembled, his fingers resting on the handles, and even moving seemed difficult.

His voice was exceptionally feeble

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and thank you, Fifth Prince, for making the trip."

Wei Zhao led them to the guest hall: "Elder Ge was supposed to treat the Crown Prince, he was nearly in the Capital but couldn’t make it even at top speed. He feared I might also have an accident, so while regretting and lamenting, he went searching for medicine for me again. Although not by my side, I can continue with the prescriptions he gave earlier."

Ying Yin’s expression stiffened slightly.

"Fifth Prince."

Wei Zhao invited him to sit: "Perhaps others have prejudices against you, but I have not."

"The Fifth Prince is upright and certainly wouldn’t intercept the Holy Edict sent by His Majesty to save the Crown Prince in Ze County."

Hearing his words, Ying Yin showed a hint of desolation.

"If everyone were like you, all would be well."

"Forget it. It’s all in the past. I’ll just consider swallowing this silent grievance."

Nonsense.

This guy is secretly investigating frantically, even threatening to skin anyone he catches.

Wei Zhao feared greatly.

Wei Zhao smiled.

Ying Yin: "Doctor Luo, quickly, check on the General."

The Imperial Physician, being someone of Emperor Qian, dared not err, he carefully checked the pulse, his brows tightly furrowed.

General Wei’s condition was much worse than when he previously examined him in the Imperial Palace.

Ying Yin sipped the tea offered by Shunzi: "I originally entered the palace to see my mother consort, but when I heard Father sent Doctor Luo here, I thought to visit you as well."

"Gui Zhi, about your wife’s origins, I was moved when I heard, that Duke Zhou really is... forget it, he is the Crown Prince’s uncle after all, no matter his faults, it wouldn’t be proper for me to speak."

"You must take good care of yourself. You are a hero of Da Jin and a descendant of the Wei Family, nothing must happen to you."

He added meaningfully: "I am still looking forward to General Wei continuing to assist Da Jin, maintaining peace throughout the land."

What’s wrong with not being in good health?

Just the name Wei Zhao alone was enough to give him wings.

When Ying Yin left Duke Shun Mansion, the Imperial Physician promptly returned to the palace.

"Master."

Ying Yin had just sat in the carriage returning to the mansion when a confidant entered from outside.

"The Crown Princess Consort wishes to see you."

Ying Yin frowned.

He and the Eastern Palace had always been at odds in private.

What does the self-righteous Crown Princess Consort, who has given birth to an heir for his elder brother, want from him?

Moreover, the entire Eastern Palace was the Empress’s domain, how did the Crown Princess Consort even get a message out?

Indeed, even after marrying into the Eastern Palace for several years, there were people in the Imperial Palace loyal to her.

Had the Crown Princess Consort been foolish or untalented, his dear elder brother wouldn’t have valued his wife so highly during his lifetime.

Ying Yin looked at the bustling street.

"These few days, Jiaofang Palace has been heavily guarded, not even a fly could enter. The Empress had a dispute when she returned to Duke Zhou Mansion, Jia the Adviser previously mentioned, there’s something unusual about it."

Ying Yin: "Make preparations."

"Yes."

————

Xiao Huaian carried a few jugs of wine, and upon arriving, he saw the Fifth Prince’s carriage slowly moving away.

He stood watching for a while before swaggering inside.

Before even entering Lan Garden, his voice carried in.

"Wei Zhao!"

He walked towards the tall, handsome figure fiddling with the new weapons delivered from a blacksmith shop.

"Sister-in-law?"

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes, smirking angrily.

Coming early in the morning to see his wife, Xiao Huaian was indeed daring!

Xiao Huaian probed: "She hasn’t gone out for a while, has she?"

"Staying in the mansion is dull, there are many delicacies and entertainments in Shangjing. You should let her go out more often. If you’re too busy, she surely has good friends, they can definitely accompany her."

"What’s the matter?"

Wei Zhao indifferently: "Recently, Miss Shen hasn’t gone out, unable to be seen, is it making you anxious?"

Xiao Huaian: ...

Truly dislike talking to such sharp-witted people.

Especially the ones that can strike straight to his heart.
