TFWYH – Chapter 560 Same year and same month

But if you carefully calculated the timing, this young lady’s destined time of death was tonight.

As for the cause, it was said to be drowning…

Yet in this life, she had been saved?

Ling Yu didn’t know what had happened, but he still asked Deputy General Wan to wait while he went back inside to wake Tang Wan.

As soon as Tang Wan heard this, all her drowsiness vanished. She quickly got up, got dressed, and packed some commonly used medicines into her small basket.

Seeing her like this, Ling Yu said irritably, “You’re quite enthusiastic—for someone you’re not even related to!”

“It’s a habit,” Tang Wan replied perfunctorily, not elaborating, and instead changed the subject. “Husband, sleep well. I’ll try to come back early tomorrow morning to see you off to the palace for the examination.”

Ling Yu reminded her calmly, “Alright. Be careful on the way. Also, the Second Prince’s consort isn’t easy to deal with—avoid her if you can.”

“I understand!” Tang Wan gave him a quick peck on the lips, waved her hand, and said, “I’ll be back soon!”

“Okay.” Ling Yu watched her leave with a smile, but once he heard the courtyard gate close, the smile on his face faded.

Sure enough, he couldn’t rely solely on memories from his previous life. Everyone around him was alive and real—every action could change what was originally meant to happen.

Especially himself!

As Tang Wan would put it, he was the biggest “bug” of all!

The only question was whether the fact that this young lady hadn’t died had anything to do with him.

Ling Yu wasn’t wrong—her survival did indeed have something to do with him.

If not for his appearance, Grand Tutor Yi wouldn’t have gone to the Emperor to stir things up.

If Grand Tutor Yi hadn’t done that, the Emperor wouldn’t have resolved to depose Huangfu Rongsheng.

If Huangfu Rongsheng hadn’t been deposed, Huangfu Yi wouldn’t have drowned his sorrows in alcohol—and then he wouldn’t have discovered his eldest daughter picking lotus flowers.

In that case, her drowning would have happened just like in the previous life.

The butterfly effect—a small change in initial conditions within a system can trigger massive, long-term chain reactions.

Ling Yu’s very existence had already changed many things.

Not to mention Tang Wan, a transmigrator who wasn’t even “normal”!

…

On the way, Tang Wan listened as Deputy General Wan told her many things about this eldest daughter.

She didn’t feel anything special—only thought the girl was quite pitiful.

However, a few of his words made Tang Wan pause.

“The young lady is already nineteen. Because she suffered a head injury as a child and is not mentally sound, no one has been willing to marry her until now.”

“The Second Prince doesn’t expect her to recover—he only hopes she can improve somewhat. After all, His Highness can’t take care of her forever.”

“Wait,” Tang Wan interrupted. “You said your young lady is nineteen, so next year she’ll be twenty?”

“Yes,” Deputy General Wan nodded, puzzled. “County Lady Weng Nai, is there a problem?”

Tang Wan shook her head and asked, “Then what month was she born in?”

The deputy general thought for a moment before answering uncertainly, “Probably October. Back then, when His Highness learned that the Second Princess Consort was pregnant, he was overjoyed and took us out drinking all night.”

Tang Wan: ?

October?

Wouldn’t that be the same year and month as her handsome husband?

Although her husband hadn’t said it outright, he had already hinted that Huangfu Yi was his father.

Looking at it this way…

Huangfu Yi was really quite a scoundrel!

Could it be that he was stringing along her husband’s mother while also being lovey-dovey with Gu Yanshuang at the same time?
