TFWYH – Chapter 473 Just kidding

She didn’t even have anyone to “fire a cannon” with—her fertile land was so dry it was almost cracking—yet those two old folks were as sweet as honey together.

It made her extremely jealous.

The more Tang Wan thought about it, the more upset she became. As soon as she got home, the first thing she did was rush in front of Ling Yu and make her demand confidently.

“I want to fire the cannon!”

Ling Yu: ??

“What cannon?”

“The kind where you fire and it hits directly!”

“…”

Was it what he was thinking?

Ling Yu coughed awkwardly a few times and quickly changed the subject.
“Your father-in-law is still missing, and you’re in the mood to fire cannons?”

When Tang Wan heard this, her face immediately fell, and she lost the mood for it.

Seeing her like that, Ling Yu regretted bringing it up.
“Don’t worry. Didn’t we say before that we’d go to the capital to look for him? I think Father-in-law must be somewhere in the capital.”

Tang Wan felt that made sense.
“Then when are we leaving?”

“The day after tomorrow,” Ling Yu thought for a moment before answering. “Since we’re back already, arrange the things you need to handle. We’ll set off the day after tomorrow. When we reach Weng City, we’ll switch to the water route. It’s less roundabout than the land route, and we should still make it in time for the provincial exam.”

“What about Yue’er? Aren’t we waiting for her?”

“She has Ye Liu with her, so she’ll be fine. We can’t keep her tied to us all the time.”

“That’s true… Then I’ll go check on the clinic and ask Mother to prepare some dried rations for us to take along.”

“Alright.”

Tang Wan ran off again.

They were leaving the day after tomorrow, so she only had one day to arrange everything.

She first went to find Madam Jiang, hoping to ask her to make some travel food, and then hurried to the clinic.

After she left, Little Ling Chen finally found his chance. With Yin Biao beside him, he swaggered over to Ling Yu and demanded,

“Big Brother, you broke your promise!”

“What promise did I break?”

“You said that if I finished memorizing those books, you’d take me to Weng City. But instead you made me go take the Tongsheng exam!”

“Did you take it?”

“Why should I listen to you? I didn’t take it!” Ling Chen exploded with anger and pointed at Ling Yu while giving Yin Biao an order. “Yin Biao, bite him!”

Yin Biao barked loudly, leaped high into the air, and lunged forward with a graceful 360-degree spinning jump.

Ling Yu kept a faint smile on his face and neither dodged nor moved.

However…

Just as it reached him, someone grabbed its tail.

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously. She looked at the big-tailed wolf in her hand and then at Ling Chen.

“A-Chen, what are you doing?”

Ling Chen’s heart jumped, and his eyes darted around nervously.
“S-Sister-in-law, why did you come back? I just saw you leave!”

“I forgot to bring the silver notes.” Tang Wan put one hand on her waist while lifting Yin Biao by the tail and shaking it slightly. Her tone grew colder. “I’ll ask again. What were you trying to do to my beautiful husband?”

Ling Chen forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
“I was just joking with Big Brother!”

Yin Biao nodded its wolf head rapidly.
“Awoo! Awoo!”

Tang Wan gave a dry laugh.
“Do I look stupid? A-Chen, you’ve learned bad habits. You even want to harm your own brother!”

“No, Sister-in-law, I didn’t…”

“You’ve really disappointed me!”

“Sister-in-law, listen to me…”

“Your elder brother is like a father. He’s treated you well, and this is how you treat him?”

“It’s because Big Brother—”

“Get out! I don’t want to see you right now!”

Tang Wan was truly angry, her voice completely cold.

Ling Chen pouted miserably, then suddenly burst into tears and ran out.

Yin Biao broke free from Tang Wan’s hand and chased after him.

Only then did Tang Wan turn back to her beautiful husband.

“Husband, that beast didn’t hurt you, did it?”

Ling Yu held his chest slightly, his face a little pale.
“I’m fine. Luckily you arrived in time. But wife, that wolf is too dangerous.”

“I think so too.” Tang Wan nodded in agreement and soon came up with an idea. “How about we take it with us the day after tomorrow?”

Ling Yu: ?
