The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 259 - 256: Doing the Work and Still Having to Coax You

Chapter 259: Chapter 256: Doing the Work and Still Having to Coax You

What blessing?

The Daoist at the stall with the Life Divination Banner had been frowning since the Zhu father and son appeared.

Unlike other stalls crowded with people and thriving business, his was empty and barely had any customers. Finally, someone sat down at his place.

The Daoist just straightened his posture: "Madam, I see ominous signs on your face, perhaps there is..."

He had only spoken a few words.

"How dare you speak like that, young man?"

The elderly woman in coarse cotton clothes pulled a long face and abruptly stood up: "I was just tired from walking and wanted to rest a bit at your stall. If you want my business, couldn’t you say something nice instead of cursing me?"

The city’s most famous fortune teller had said her life would be smooth!

"The Goddess Temple enshrines Guanyin, and Buddhists and Daoists have always stood apart. What’s a Daoist doing here causing a scene?"

The Daoist was indifferent.

If there weren’t many people here, he wouldn’t have come.

"To earn money."

Daoist: "I haven’t eaten meat for a long time."

Not all Daoists abstain from meat.

He could eat meat except for beef, eel, dog, and goose meat.

"A few pieces of silver, not charging much, I’ll help you avert disaster, how about it?"

Old woman: ??

The old woman burst into a loud scolding, slamming the table: "Bah, young and out here scamming and deceiving! How dare you talk nonsense in front of the Goddess Temple with those shifty eyes, you don’t seem decent! Be careful, I might call my husband over to smash your stall and teach you a lesson."

The Daoist’s face also turned sour.

"If you don’t listen to advice, then leave."

"Anyway, losing half a life isn’t my problem."

Old woman: "Just you wait! I’ll have my husband come over now."

The Daoist felt a bit annoyed.

He hadn’t had a single transaction yet and was already scolded.

Passersby, hearing the commotion, didn’t even glance his way anymore.

He decided to get something to eat to fill his stomach.

Suddenly...

His eyes fell on a spot.

He saw a well-dressed girl ahead, adorned with several strings of red agate, with matching hairpins and bracelets on her wrist, all looking quite valuable.

He wasn’t the only one who noticed.

Many people were looking at Yu Tingwan.

Amazed by her striking appearance, they wondered how someone could go out like that without attracting pickpockets?

When they looked at Wei Zhao beside her,

He appeared handsome and refined.

But one feared he couldn’t handle trouble or protect anyone.

These days, there were more thieves than kidnappers.

Just then, the Zhu father and son came out from the Goddess Temple intending to select a child, drawing everyone’s attention again.

The crowd surged, and sure enough, someone made a move.

That person was burly, all muscular. He looked capable of fighting.

He had already stolen several purses today!

Seeing her now, he coveted Yu Tingwan’s red agate on her waist.

He even hoped to take advantage by touching her before stealing.

The girl was attractive; touching her waist and hands would be pleasant.

Even though there was a man beside her,

The pickpocket completely disregarded Wei Zhao!

Added to that, girls usually cared about their reputation. If she got molested, she’d probably swallow her pride and suffer silently.

But before his hand reached her,

With a crack,

Wei Zhao, with minimal effort, dislocated the man’s arm.

The pickpocket let out a piercing cry, unclear if from pain or fright, but his face turned deathly pale.

Such people were quick to adapt. He didn’t dare confront Wei Zhao, stumbling and fleeing pathetically.

Yu Tingwan watched him leave, slowly saying, "Oh."

Wei Zhao: "What?"

Yu Tingwan: "I think he must be in pain."

Wei Zhao: ...

She glanced down at the red agate on her waist.

It was something Wei Zhao had given her before heading out.

After a passionate affair the day before, Yu Tingwan was quite uncomfortable.

Especially there, where it seemed residual fullness lingered.

This morning, when she attempted to rise from the bed, her legs felt weak, nearly causing a fall.

Of course, Yu Tingwan couldn’t blame herself!

Hence, she gave Wei Zhao the cold shoulder.

Until Wei Zhao presented the red agate.

Actually...

Though usually understated, Yu Tingwan liked dazzling jewelry since childhood. Even after many years, she innately favored vibrant colors.

Ever since Wei Zhao prepared ruby strings and jade strings for her, she was adorned with them every time she went out.

White jade was less frequently chosen by Yu Tingwan. Wei Zhao understood her preferences.

Yu Tingwan thought he could be forgiven a little.

She even asked specifically.

"Is this my reward?"

Wei Zhao had given her a sidelong glance.

"The effort was mine, having to work and coax you."

She didn’t know how he could say such things calmly.

Yu Tingwan... found it quite reasonable.

"At this time, taking it out gives me the illusion."

Wei Zhao: "What?"

Yu Tingwan avoided openly mentioning prostitution, subtly saying: "There’s some monetary transaction between us."

Wei Zhao was silent for a long time.

To him, gold and silver jewelry were outside possessions. Lacking marriage experience, Wei Zhao truly didn’t know how to treat Yu Tingwan well.

But he had observed his father, Wei Fengxing, willingly offering everything to Ning Suxuan.

Wei Zhao, too, wanted to give Yu Tingwan anything good he found. What other girls had, Yu Tingwan must have. Those other girls didn’t, Yu Tingwan shouldn’t lack either.

In case her legs got tired walking, he only hung two agate strings on her waist.

As they left the residence, he slowly began to speak.

"Is this what you like?"

Yu Tingwan: ?

Wei Zhao: "Clients and the Qin Huai Beauty?"

Yu Tingwan: ??

Wei Zhao: "I think it’s inappropriate, but if you like it, it can count as some boudoir fun."

Yu Tingwan: ???

Do you hear what you’re saying?

Wei Zhao was very willing to cooperate: "Then I’ll often patronize your business."

Recalling this made Yu Tingwan think Wei Zhao wasn’t serious.

Clearly, he was the playful one!

However...

Yu Tingwan: "That man’s arm..."

Wei Zhao: "I should have torn it off directly, but the scene would be gory, not suitable for you to see."

"You two."

The young Daoist approached them.

"I see fate has brought you two together."

He enthusiastically asked, "Fortune-telling? If it’s inaccurate, no charge." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yu Tingwan had heard the ruckus at the stall earlier.

"Why are you still here? Aren’t you afraid that woman will bring someone to smash your stall?"

The Daoist didn’t seem to care: "They won’t come."

"Once she returns, she’ll get beaten up."

The notion of blood disaster wasn’t just talk.

The Daoist looked at Wei Zhao’s indifferent eyes: "You two have extraordinary destinies."

Wei Zhao indifferently: "Move aside."

Daoist: "It’s a predestined romantic bond."

Though it may be rocky, it will all pass.

Wei Zhao: "It might as well be calculated."

Yu Tingwan silently noticed Wei Zhao indeed had too much money with nowhere to spend it.

The Daoist smiled, leading them back to the stall.

"Your facial features exude noble aura, that’s why it’s my second offer today for a free reading."

Yu Tingwan sat down, couldn’t help but ask.

"Who was the first?"

The Daoist casually raised a hand, pointing ahead.

"Mr. Zhu."

Daoist: "He is shrouded in a layer of dark aura."

Yu Tingwan looked over.

She couldn’t see it.

The Daoist took out a Five Thunder Eight Diagram Coin and a turtle shell: "Supposed to be dead but still alive, how strange do you think that is?"
