Seeing that Zhao Zhangru sat back down without her having to say anything, Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although her cousin was impulsive, reason usually prevailed.
"The only way is to get the Liu family to let Sister Mudan leave on their own initiative!" Dou Zhao frowned and then said.
Then his gaze slowly moved to Wei Tingyu's face, staring at him for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "I wonder... if the Marquis takes a fancy to their daughter-in-law, would they offer her up to curry favor with the Marquis?"
“That’s right!” Zhao Zhangru and Miao Ansu slapped their thighs at the same time, and then without saying a word, they gathered around and started discussing the details with Dou Zhao.
"Given the Liu family's behavior just now, they already looked down on this daughter-in-law. If she can get a chance to return to the capital, they'll definitely be willing!"
"This way we'll have leverage in negotiations! If Lord Marquis can take the initiative to build a relationship with Sister Peony, our chances of winning will be even greater!"
"Excellent, excellent! With such high martial arts skills, Lord Marquis, you can move freely within the Liu family compound without anyone noticing!"
"I think it would be better for the Marquis to go to Sister Peony's courtyard tonight and make it a fait accompli. Maybe Sister Peony will know how good the Marquis is and be willing to come back to the Marquis's mansion with us?"
Listening to the three women chattering away beside him, Wei Tingyu's head was practically filled with black lines.
What on earth is going on here? I have to say, the plan these three women devised is incredibly simple!
That makes sense, though. All three of them are so focused on saving He Weifang from this misery that they've even abandoned their own husbands.
Wei Tingyu was truly puzzled: did these three women love him or not?
……
As night fell, a dark figure darted from the courtyard up to the attic, and with a few nimble leaps, reached the roof of the small courtyard where He Weifang lived alone.
Without a doubt, this figure was none other than Wei Tingyu! Moreover, he was forced to come by his three wives and concubines!
Who would believe that?! But it just happened to Wei Tingyu!
But it makes sense, since He Weifang's background and experiences are very similar to those of the three women, so they can empathize with He Weifang's current situation.
So even if it forces her husband to personally intervene, he must save this sister he has only met once from her dire situation!
How would you put it in the original storyline?
This is the bond and friendship between women!
Although Wei Tingyu did not understand, he was deeply shocked!
As soon as Wei Tingyu landed on the roof of the small courtyard, he saw He Weifang, a beautiful young married woman, sitting alone at a stone table in the elegant courtyard below, arranging flowers in a flowerpot by the flickering candlelight.
It seems that floral art is truly He Weifang's destiny! During her year at the Liu residence, only moments like this allowed her to relax and enjoy herself!
"My lady! Time to apply the medicine!" At the same time, He Weifang's personal maid, Yulu, carefully walked over with a tray.
"Okay!" He Weifang nodded, put down her tools, and then lifted her skirt to reveal her legs, which were as white as jade. This scene almost made Wei Tingyu drool; the only flaw was the two red, swollen patches on her knees, which were quite jarring.
"It's swollen again!" Yu Lu couldn't help but tear up when she saw the injury on her young mistress's knee. She sighed and said, "The mistress of the house is so heartless! She won't even let us use a cushion after kneeling for so long!"
"It's alright!" However, He Weifang kindly endured the pain and, as if afraid that Yu Lu would worry, told her about what happened during the day.
"Did you know what? I took the opportunity to make a wish when I went to the Ancestral Master Temple to offer flowers today!"
"I wish Liu Chang no trouble using the toilet! May he lose hair while combing his hair! I wonder if the Celestial Master will be able to grant his wish!"
At this point, He Weifang suddenly paused, a look of reminiscence appearing in her eyes, and then her face flushed slightly.
It's obvious that this girl is recalling what happened in the Ancestral Master's Hall today!
Of course, the image of Wei Tingyu, that lecherous man, once again appeared in her mind...
Yu Lu was so heartbroken over her mistress's injury that she didn't notice the blush on He Weifang's face or the hint of spring in her eyes.
She muttered to herself, "That Liu Chang is really annoying! My wife was forced by the madam to raise money for him, and instead of thanking you, he cursed at you! If he's really so noble, he should just give back all the money we've bribed the He family's leader!"
"Liu Chang hates this marriage of convenience so much!"
"It was clearly the Liu family's honor and disgrace that made him kneel, and it was class prejudice that tore him apart from the county princess!"
"But what about him? He couldn't understand any of this, and he vented all his anger, resentment, and bitterness on me!"
"It is clear that this person is extreme and depressed, and cannot be entrusted with one's life!"
"So it's best if we each go our own way and live in peace!"
He Weifang, with her clear-headedness, succinctly revealed Liu Chang's inner thoughts.
Her words couldn't help but nod in agreement, agreeing that her young mistress's analysis made a lot of sense.
……
The two women chatted for a while longer, and then He Weifang told Yulu to go back and rest!
Although they were nominally mistress and servant, their actual relationship was not much different from that of biological sisters.
After tidying up the table, He Weifang turned her head and glanced at her small courtyard. What she had just said was to comfort Yulu, but at the same time, it was also to comfort herself! But was she really willing to be trapped in such a small world for the rest of her life?
But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?
He Weifang sighed inwardly and prepared to turn around and go back to her room to sleep, after all, life had to go on.
However, she froze on the spot the moment she turned around and took her first step up the stairs, because her sensitive little nose smelled another strange fragrance!
And this fragrance was one she could never mistake! It was the very scent emanating from that lecherous man in the Celestial Master's Hall this evening!
That man actually followed us all the way to the mansion? He Weifang was taken aback, and then an indescribable feeling rose in her heart.

Chapter 58 Lifting up the skirt?! He Weifang was dumbfounded!
Is it fear? Logically, it should be fear!
After all, that lecherous fellow was so lustful that he actually chased him all the way to the mansion in the dead of night...
What was his purpose in coming here? He Weifang knew perfectly well!
But she felt she shouldn't scream at this moment! Because her sixth sense told her that this man's appearance in her life might bring some kind of turning point!
"Since you're here, why don't you show yourself?" He Weifang thought for a moment and then simply asked.
She was gambling! She wanted to know why this seemingly lecherous scoundrel kept haunting her like a ghost!
What exactly does he want from me?
What can he give himself?
If both parties are truly sincere about doing business, then it's not impossible to negotiate!
At this moment, Wei Tingyu was sitting on the roof, but he didn't expect that He Weifang would actually notice his presence. Sure enough, a keen sense of smell is very useful!
With that thought, he lightly leaped off the roof and landed silently behind He Weifang.
In an instant, that intensely fragrant aroma, so vivid in his memory, once again filled his mouth and nose! What a rare beauty! How could Liu Chang be so blind?!
Suppressing the urge to carry He Weifang directly into the room and do the deed, Wei Tingyu waited for her to turn around!
He Weifang frowned slightly, because at this moment she looked around the entire courtyard and every corner was clearly visible, but there was nowhere to hide. However, the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, as if the other party was right next to her.
Filled with doubt, she suddenly remembered what had happened at Fuyun Temple at dusk.
This lecherous fellow appeared behind me without a sound. Could it be that this time...?
Upon realizing this, He Weifang shuddered and instinctively turned her head away.
Sure enough, the face that she remembered so vividly and would never forget appeared in her sight. However, the two of them were so close that their noses touched!
"Ah!" He Weifang exclaimed instinctively, then her whole body retreated, as if the scene in the Ancestral Master's Hall at dusk had reappeared.
However, this time He Weifang deliberately covered her mouth with her hand, so the scream was suppressed as soon as it was made.
Wei Tingyu, however, reacted swiftly, grabbing her waist and pulling her back into his arms. Why was this girl acting the same way as before? If he hadn't intervened, she would have fallen flat on her face!
Could it be that He Weifang has a hidden talent for falling while standing on flat ground?
"What's wrong, Miss?" The exclamation, though brief, still startled Yulu in the next room. The girl asked anxiously, followed by the sound of tables and chairs being moved, as if she wanted to rush out to see what was happening.
"It's alright, it's alright!" He Weifang suddenly became anxious!
If Yulu were to see her having a secret rendezvous with a man in the courtyard late at night, and actually embracing him tightly right now, then things would really get complicated!
She wasn't worried that Yulu would betray her and tell the Liu family, but the problem was, how could she face her maid and sister who had been with her since childhood?
"A mouse just ran by and startled me; it's already out of the yard now." He Weifang quickly added a plausible excuse, afraid Yu Lu wouldn't believe her.
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Yu Lu stopped talking and seemed to finally go to bed and fall asleep.
Seeing this, He Weifang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then glanced at Wei Tingyu's face, which was so close to her, and was immediately filled with anger.
Because this guy not only showed no signs of nervousness, but also had a meaningful smile on his face, as if being caught doing something good for him.
He really is a lecher! My previous impression of him was always right!
He Weifang thought coldly to herself, then frowned and said to Wei Tingyu, "Let me go!"
However, Wei Tingyu did not simply obey her orders. Instead, he suddenly bent down and hugged He Weifang tightly in his arms.
"What...what are you going to do?" He Weifang was stunned. She never expected that in the deep courtyard of the Liu residence, this man would dare to touch her directly, and even pick her up in his arms!
When He Weifang saw him carrying her straight into her boudoir, she turned deathly pale with fright.
Is this lecherous man really going to force himself on me?! What should I do? Should I scream for help?
But this secluded mansion has attracted too much attention, and they will only blame themselves for being indecent! This man comes and goes without a trace; he may have disappeared before anyone else arrived!
