"This perfume is for you!" Wei Tingyu smiled with satisfaction when he saw how much He Weifang liked it; this was exactly the effect he wanted!
"This isn't a good idea!" He Weifang had never seen perfume before, and all she knew was that it must be an extremely valuable treasure!
Although she was deeply moved that Wei Tingyu was willing to give her such a fine gift, she quickly shook her head when she thought of his three wives and concubines, saying, "Please give such a fine gift to your three wives and concubines, Your Highness. I'm fine..."
Of course, He Weifang's eyes were still fixed on the perfume bottle when she said this, and anyone could tell that she was very reluctant to part with it.
However, compared to whether she could get along well with the three ladies after entering the Marquis's mansion, He Weifang wisely chose the latter as more important!
"Don't worry! Each of the three of them has one!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, "My wife's is rose-scented, and my two concubines' are orange and peach-scented respectively! And your bottle is peony-scented!"
"Then thank you, Lord Marquis!" Hearing Wei Tingyu's words, He Weifang finally felt relieved. At the same time, she was secretly pleased. The Marquis had three wives and concubines, and she had one too! From this perspective, she could now be considered a woman of the Marquis's household!
At least the Marquis has personally verified it through the gift!
"I knew it smelled amazing on you, Lord Marquis! Now I know why!" After carefully putting away the perfume bottle, He Weifang slapped her forehead and exclaimed in sudden realization, "It's the scent of rose, peach, and orange mixed together! So it must have been left on you by your three wives and concubines!"
"Is that so?" Wei Tingyu was taken aback, but he agreed with He Weifang's statement.
After all, when it comes to recognizing fragrance, few in the world would dare to claim to be number one if He Weifang were second!
"But from now on, it will be a mix of four scents!" Wei Tingyu sniffed himself and noticed that he seemed to have added a peony-scented perfume, so he joked with a smile.
"My lord..." He Weifang's face flushed again. Wasn't this fourth flavor her own? But she was secretly delighted by this teasing!
……
"Wife! Wife!" The door to He Weifang's boudoir was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Yu Lu rushed to her bedside in a flash, shaking He Weifang vigorously, saying, "Wife! Something's happened! Wife! Wake up!"
"What's wrong? Don't disturb the Marquis's sleep..." He Weifang was very tired, and mumbled as she frowned.
He woke up suddenly with a start halfway through his sentence.
Why did Yu Lu barge in without knocking? Does that mean she saw me sharing a bed with the Marquis...?

Chapter 60: I'm going to make your Liu family a cuckold! He Weifang is angry!
Fortunately, after He Weifang came to her senses, she saw that Wei Tingyu was not on the bed next to her, and when she touched the bedding, she found that it was cold, and realized that he had been gone for a long time!
Looking around, it was already broad daylight.
He Weifang let out a heavy sigh of relief, and her mood gradually calmed down.
Good heavens! I scared myself to death!
But when did the Marquis leave? How come I didn't notice at all?!
Relieved, He Weifang lay back heavily on the bed. She was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open, and she curled up like a shrimp, wishing she could cover her head with the blanket!
After all, the passion of last night was a bit too intense for her, who was new to such things...
"My lady! Something really has happened! Wake up!" When Yu Lu saw that He Weifang, who had just woken up, was about to fall back asleep, she became even more anxious and, disregarding the difference between mistress and servant, began to shake her arm frantically.
"What exactly happened?" He Weifang sighed, but she couldn't tell Yu Lu about her condition. She could only close her eyes to rest and ask in a low voice, "Did my mother-in-law ask me to stand in the ancestral hall to observe the rituals, or is the family short of money again and needs to find my father?"
In He Weifang's view, these two things were too ordinary, and even if they happened again, there was no need to make such a fuss.
“The Princess of Ji’an will be visiting our home tomorrow!” Yu Lu blinked and said to He-Weifang, who was still unwilling to get up.
"What does this have to do with me?" He Weifang was even more speechless. Why were there so many distinguished guests at the Liu residence these past two days? A marquis had just arrived, and now a county princess was coming.
However, this has nothing to do with her. She will probably still be staying in this courtyard and refusing visitors.
At this moment, apart from Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining, He Weifang could not muster the slightest interest in anyone else.
Thinking of this, she muttered to herself, "Ignore her!"
"To receive the county magistrate, the master ordered all the peonies in our courtyard to be dug up!" Yu Lu was extremely anxious at this point, and no longer caring about any pretense or concealment, she directly revealed the crucial information.
Sure enough, He Weifang opened her eyes abruptly after hearing those words, threw off the covers, and sat up with a whoosh!
These peonies were part of her dowry, left to her by her mother. In He Weifang's heart, they were more precious than her own life! Upon hearing this devastating news, she couldn't even care less about her pre-existing physical discomfort!
"When did this happen?" He Weifang asked, not bothering to smooth the stray strands of hair from her forehead, looking directly at Yu Lu.
"I heard from the servants that they started digging last night!" Yu Lu said quickly, relieved to see her young mistress finally get up.
"Last night?" He Weifang was taken aback, then subconsciously glanced at the bed sheet beneath her, where a bright red stain was still clearly visible.
At the same time, a sense of lingering fear welled up in her heart. If Wei Tingyu hadn't carried her into the room last night, she might have actually been knocked down by the Liu family's servants and the two of them were talking in the courtyard!
So, it must have been after Wei Tingyu and I had already rested and gone to sleep that these people sneaked into the hospital?
What a despicable and shameless family!
When Yulu saw her mistress's gaze, she subconsciously followed it, and was stunned when she saw the two plum blossoms on the bed sheet.
Because she knew that He Weifang had been living separately from her husband Liu Chang ever since she married into the Liu family, and only the two of them, mistress and servant, lived in this secluded little courtyard.
Could it be that the son-in-law secretly came over last night to consummate his marriage with the young lady?
Thinking of this, Yu Lu felt a glimmer of hope and shook He Weifang's hand, saying, "Since Miss has consummated her marriage with the young master, then go and beg him! He'll surely put in a good word for you out of consideration for your past as husband and wife!"
"Can he help me? No way!" He Weifang almost laughed in anger when she heard that!
You'd be more reliable to rely on a dog than on this man!
And Yu Lu actually misunderstood that I had consummated my marriage with Liu Chang? Isn't that embarrassing me?
"I haven't consummated our marriage with him yet!" Thinking of this, He Weifang frowned and quickly got out of bed.
Of course, she eventually realized what had happened and carefully put away the bed sheet stained with plum blossoms, placing it in the most secret place at the bottom of the trunk.
Yu Lu stood there dumbfounded, watching her mistress busy herself, and even forgot to lend a hand.
Judging from He Weifang's words, it was obvious that nothing had happened between her and Liu Chang! What were the plum blossoms on the bed sheet?
Has the young lady finally succumbed to loneliness and had an affair?
Seeing He Weifang's somewhat awkward gait and her nervous actions of hiding the bed sheet stained with plum blossoms, Yu Lu was quite certain that she dared not let the Liu family know about what happened last night!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry..." After covering up the evidence, He Weifang casually put on her clothes and led Yulu out of the small courtyard, heading straight for the garden in the main courtyard.
Before they even arrived, they heard Liu Shen, the lord of the Liu family, raging.
"How did these flowers get like this?!"
"What kind of gardeners are you?!"
"You can't even move a flower properly!"
"If the county princess sees this tomorrow, the combined heads of both of you won't be enough to atone for your sins!"
...Upon hearing Liu Shen's cursing, He Weifang felt a sense of foreboding.
When she ran over and looked at the flowers again, they were indeed all wilted and drooping.
Liu Shen then saw He Weifang, quickly abandoned the two gardeners he was scolding, and turned to greet them.
"Father!" He Weifang hated her father-in-law to the core, but for the moment she could only carefully bow.
"Peony, you've finally arrived! Quickly, help your father save these flowers!"
Liu Shen is incredibly shameless. He completely disregarded the embarrassment of being caught stealing flowers from He Weifang's yard last night, and even shamelessly asked He Weifang to save the half-dead flowers.
"Father! If you need flowers, I can personally go to the flower market to choose them for you!" He Weifang's eyes reddened with heartache as she looked at the nearly withered flowers in the courtyard. Turning to Liu Shen, she said with great displeasure, "Why did you have to dig up all the flowers in my yard and bring them here overnight?"
“These are extremely rare and exquisite peonies of yours. How can the ordinary ones in the flower market compare to them?” Liu Shen truly embodied the saying “shamelessness is invincible” and shamelessly said, “Besides, I heard that you drank last night and went to bed early. I really didn’t want to disturb you!”
"Won't Peony blame her father?"
Finally, Liu Shen tried to morally blackmail He Weifang, emphasizing that he was He Weifang's father-in-law!
He Weifang was furious, but instead of laughing, she actually did. She now fully understood that speaking even a single extra word to this family was a waste of her life!
She had initially felt a little guilty about her infidelity last night, but now even that last bit of guilt had completely vanished.
Thinking of this, He Weifang glanced at Liu Shen, whose eyes were full of smugness at having her figured out, and said, "Peony wouldn't dare!"
If it were the old He Weifang, seeing that smug look in Liu Shen's eyes would have made her so angry she would have gritted her teeth.
After all, the other party knew exactly what he could do except get angry!
However, she sneered inwardly, "You're bullying me? Then I'll make sure your Liu family wears a huge green hat!"
"Good girl!" Seeing that He Weifang didn't lose her temper, Liu Shen really thought that he had once again gotten his daughter-in-law under control, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "I didn't want you to do it yourself, but I didn't expect your peonies to be so delicate!"
"The gardener I hired can't take good care of things at all!"
"Peony! Quick, see if she can still be saved!"
After hearing Liu Shen's words, He Weifang didn't bother to say another word to him and turned around to tidy up her flowers.
Of course, at this moment, He Weifang was also determined to escape from the Liu family, this den of wolves and tigers, in the future!
"Peony! You must save these flowers!"
"The distinguished guest who will be visiting tomorrow is none other than Princess Ji'an, the beloved daughter of Prince Ning!"
"If it is discovered tomorrow that the flower banquet is without flowers, that would be a grave offense!"
"Our entire Liu family will be implicated!"
He Weifang was speechless as Liu Shen continued to ramble on about how important the flowers were for tomorrow's banquet.
