Explicação da Regra:

怪不得 (guàibude) can be used to express that the speaker finds something unsurprising. It can be used alone or in a variety of different structures, as shown below. 难怪 (nánguài) is another way to express the exact same thing. 怪不得 is used to convey the speaker's newfound understanding of a situation, having recently acquired some new information that, in his opinion, explains it. Reason ，怪不得 / 难怪 + [Observation] 怪不得 can be replaced with 难怪 in the structure without altering its meaning.
