The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!

Chapter 515 - 510: Do You Think Having a Child Is That Easy?

Shen Zhiyi came to kill the next day

"Can you explain to me? Why is my aunt in your mansion?"

Yu Tingwan was just moving back to Lan Garden, slowly instructing the servants to be careful as they carried the items back that were placed in the room next to Ning Suxuan’s.

She walked forward with a steady gaze, her skirt fluttering with her clattering steps.

Now everyone outside knows that Consort Shen in the palace, Yao Ru and her young son in the Second Prince Mansion, all died in the chaos of war.

"We all understand, why do I need to spell it out?"

She said with a sigh: "Also, you’ve already prepared a place to settle your aunt, eager to fulfill filial duties, and had everything ready, but were suddenly intercepted by me."

How is it even possible to mention it!

No one can force my aunt to do what she doesn’t want, and Shen Zhiyi is more aware that staying in the Duke Shun Mansion is her aunt’s best comfort, for everywhere there holds traces of that person.

But...

What really makes her angry is.

"I mentioned before about buying a house, but you didn’t give me any hint."

Yu Tingwan fiddled with the potted plant in her arms.

It was something she insisted on taking from Ning Suxuan’s room.

Ning Suxuan, being dignified, scarcely called her a robber. She came only with a few changes of clothes, and left taking things too.

She stood there innocently at the time.

——"But this plant is something I cultivated."

——"You?"

——"Yes, your daughter-in-law watered it just yesterday."

Yu Tingwan glanced at Shen Zhiyi.

"What, you’re not convinced?"

Shen Zhiyi: ???

Yu Tingwan kept walking, speaking quietly: "I looked at the location of your house, not only quiet but in a good area. The seller was eager to leave Shangjing and wanted to make a good connection with you, so the price was exceptionally reasonable."

"Even if you buy it and don’t live there, you can sell it later for a profit."

Shen Zhiyi started to feel uncertain.

"So... were you doing it for my sake?"

Yu Tingwan: "However, I suggest you don’t sell it."

"Why? Is there any particular reason?"

Yu Tingwan: "If Xiao Huaian ever makes you angry in the future, you’ll have a place to go."

Better than returning to the Shen Family.

Shen Zhiyi started to feel touched.

"You’re really thinking ahead for me, quite considerate."

"Indeed. If I went home in a huff, my mother is soft-hearted, and my father is the type who would sell his daughter for glory, might even make me bow before the son-in-law every day."

Yu Tingwan: "That’s what I’m saying; couples argue often, better to resolve it privately, involving elders isn’t wise."

Shen Zhiyi thought it made sense but frowned: "But hold on, why didn’t you buy it?"

Yu Tingwan batted her eyes: "I want to involve them."

Shen Zhiyi: ???

Yu Tingwan: "I quite enjoy watching my mother-in-law teach my husband a lesson."

It adds a touch of life, fostering the usual mother-son bond.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t get all these convoluted twists.

But she applauded Yu Tingwan.

You truly have no regard for being a decent person.

Shen Zhiyi thought of something else: "Have you heard about what’s happening outside?"

"Which one?"

Shen Zhiyi paused.

Indeed, there were simply too many.

She said excitedly: "The corpse of the deceased Dog Emperor was directly taken to the mass gravesite!"

It sounds absurd.

But it happened.

Even those pedantic civil servants didn’t jump out and express their opinions.

Yu Tingwan’s expression remained calm, finding nothing surprising.

"Currently, with the severe disaster, it truly squanders resources and burdens the people to conduct a royal funeral."

The court is short of people, urgently reinstating talented but unrecognized officials like Lu Huaizhang, also breaking protocol to promote capable talents like the grandson of Old Master Lu who had to hide their talents.

Though the court did unearth the treasury left by past emperors, they ransacked the old party left by Dog Emperor Ying Zhi and Ying Yin, killing, capturing, and exiling them.

Not to mention those related to Ying Zhi and Ying Yin by blood or marriage, all dealt with according to the law, regardless of women, children, or elderly.

The Yao Family of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was among those exiled.

Some officials weren’t dismissed.

They were given a chance to make up for their crimes.

Many officials sent by the Dog Emperor to disaster areas got the news that their homes were emptied by the court, leaving them penniless, yet doing good work for the court spared their lives.

But what does it matter.

Money has to be used wisely.

Shen Zhiyi: "But I heard that when the body was taken to the mass gravesite, it was full of holes."

Apparently, it had been stabbed afterward.

Yu Tingwan remained unmoved.

"Initially, they thought about chopping it into red mince, mixing it into gunpowder, putting it in fireworks tubes, and taking it to the mountains to set off, considering it a celebration."

"But then, on second thought, that Dog Emperor was full of diseases, likely to pollute the air. So they gave up."

Shen Zhiyi: ???

No wonder Xiao Huaian didn’t tell her, just hearing it is terrifying.

"What about Li Pin?"

Shen Zhiyi: "Many ministers urged the new emperor to deal with her and the child in her belly, but Wei Zhao didn’t agree."

"Why? What’s so concerning about someone else’s child?"

Yu Tingwan blinked.

"Because he is kind!"

Shen Zhiyi, who was once thrown in prison by Wei Zhao: ???

Yu Tingwan spoke gently: "Such good-natured men are really rare."

"How can you even say that?"

Yu Tingwan ignored her, even raised her voice in an exaggerated manner: "Yes, Li Pin is deeply sinful, but the child is a life and is innocent!"

"After Ying Fuyan ascended the throne, Ying Cheng could finally travel and sell off all the valuable items, even considering selling the Fourth Prince Mansion, indicating he never planned to return to the capital in his life."

"The Dog Emperor stunk for ten thousand years, died without anyone mourning him, not even anyone burning money for him on his memorial day."

"Whether the child is his or not, if Li Pin’s scandal hadn’t been exposed, he would’ve called him father. Maybe he’d even want to burn some for him."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

How unscrupulous.

No wonder you two are married.

After returning to Lan Garden, Yu Tingwan first went back to her room, placed down the potted plant, and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look at the bed behind her.

Precisely, at the forgotten childbirth prevention sachet hanging on the bed curtain.

Outside, it was Shen Zhiyi’s voice.

"I’ll go see my aunt first."

"The lotus in your yard is blooming beautifully, let’s row a boat to pick some lotus seeds later."

Yu Tingwan agreed.

She also came out.

"Hey."

She called her back.

She approached, speaking naturally, as if in casual conversation: "You’ve been married for a while, why isn’t there any news from your belly, are you using contraceptives?"

Shen Zhiyi didn’t think much of it: "Xiao Huaian’s situation is different from Wei Zhao, hiding talents not to be feared, what is there to avoid?"

"I just got married, it’s not like I can get pregnant that quickly. My sister didn’t conceive until a year after her marriage."

Shen Zhiyi: "Do you think having children is so easy?"

Yu Tingwan agreed it was so.

She didn’t know about others.

Back in the village, many newlywed brides took a long time without any news, and the in-laws were urgently pressing, the brides couldn’t bear the pressure and secretly cried often.

Of course. Village women couldn’t eat well, yet had to do farm work, they looked strong, but ultimately lacked nutrition.

Capital women paid attention to health, even riding palanquins for walking, their bodies were delicate.

Yu Tingwan, who got breathless climbing hills, considered her health particularly good.

She wouldn’t have trouble getting pregnant later.

But...

What Shen Zhiyi said was reasonable.

Wei Zhao wouldn’t be so precise in a single shot.
