Of course, at this moment she decided to no longer submit to fate, so she retorted directly: "Father, there's no need to say more! I don't care who comes to the house tomorrow!"

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Shen became anxious when he heard He Weifang say that she didn't care.

“These peonies are a keepsake from my mother! Whether or not the dignitaries come tomorrow, or whether or not the flower banquet is held, I will do everything in my power to save them!” He Weifang glanced at Liu Shen speechlessly, her eyes even revealing deep contempt.

Liu Shen also noticed He Weifang's disdainful gaze and was immediately startled. This was the first time he had ever seen such emotion in the eyes of his usually submissive daughter-in-law.

However, he knew this wasn't the time to lose his temper, so he directly offered a promise: "Alright! As long as you can revive these flowers and satisfy tomorrow's distinguished guests, you can choose any rare treasures in the mansion after the banquet!"

"These peonies are my treasures. As long as they are safe and well, I ask for nothing more!" He Weifang was of course not concerned about Liu Shen's empty promises at this moment. She was focused on saving the flowers in the yard.

……

"My lord! Did you sneak off to some young lady's boudoir last night when you didn't return?" Meanwhile, in the villa where Wei Tingyu was staying, Dou Zhao and the other two women were chattering and scrutinizing their husband, as if trying to see if he was missing a hair or a piece of flesh.

Especially Zhao Zhangru, who actually dared to say such blatant things. His outspoken personality really shines through whenever he gets the chance!

"Is that how the three of you see me?" Wei Tingyu pouted, thinking to himself that he had indeed gone into the boudoir, but not to a young lady, but to the young mistress of the Liu family.

Of course, he definitely won't admit it directly right now, not even if you beat him to death!

“I smell something different about Lord Marquis!” Miao Ansu said, leaning on Wei Tingyu’s shoulder and sniffing him a few times before frowning slightly.

"Really? Let me smell it too!" Not only Zhao Zhangru, but Dou Zhao also joined in the fun and took a couple of sniffs. Then, almost at the same time, the three women showed expressions of "I knew it!"

"..." Wei Tingyu pursed his lips but did not deny it directly, because the current situation was as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.

Moreover, although the three women did not have He Weifang's extraordinary sense of smell, as women, they were certainly sensitive to other scents on their husbands that did not belong to them.

There's a saying that goes something like this: A woman catching her husband cheating has the insight of ten Sherlock Holmes!

However, the three women knew that Wei Tingyu must have spent the night with He Weifang, so after chattering and teasing him for a while, they went back to their places and began to serve the Marquis his breakfast.

Wei Tingyu would naturally not refuse such a life of being waited on hand and foot.

He even felt a little sentimental at this moment, thinking that if he were without his three beautiful wives and concubines, he probably wouldn't even be able to eat.

Indeed, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to fr

Having grown accustomed to this extravagant lifestyle, it's really hard to go back to the so-called free state of being where one person is fed and the whole family isn't hungry.

Just as Wei Tingyu was enjoying the company of his beautiful wives and concubines, the system's magnetic voice finally appeared in his mind again.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master, on marrying your second leading lady, Dou Zhao!]

[This system has been upgraded to Level 2! The Level 2 Shop is now officially open, and you will also receive a Level 2 System Gift Pack as a gift!]

Wei Tingyu was taken aback, suppressing his joy, and quickly entered the system space through his consciousness to check.

Sure enough, the space was now more luxurious than before, and the mall had a much higher quality feel!

The original restrictions on purchasing goods in the secondary space have been relaxed, and there are new discounts available!

For example, Wei Tingyu used to limit herself to 100 bottles of perfume per day, but now the limit has been increased to 120 bottles per day.

At the same time, the unit price was reduced from 10 taels per bottle to 9 taels per bottle!

Okay! Even a small fly is still a piece of meat! Besides, if you think about it carefully, the benefits it brings are quite substantial!

As for what items could be obtained from the Level 2 system gift pack, Wei Tingyu was quite excited and chose to open it without hesitation.

[Shadow Guard Upgrade Card *18 (This card can be used to upgrade a Silver Shadow Guard to a more intelligent and powerful Gold Shadow Guard!)]

[Grass-Walking Technique *1 (Using this card will grant you mastery of the unparalleled lightness skill of the Green-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao!)]

[Silver Shadow Guards *36 (This card permanently summons 36 absolutely loyal Silver Shadow Guards upon use!)]

Upon seeing the three cards that were drawn, Wei Tingyu's eyes widened in surprise!

Wow! This level two system gift pack is even better than level one!

First of all, the Grass-Flying Technique is just too awesome! This is the signature skill of Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, who is unparalleled in lightness skills in martial arts novels!

It should be noted that Wei Tingyu's so-called lightness skill was merely a light body and movements supported by profound internal strength, not true lightness skill!

Once you learn the "grass-walking" lightness skill, traveling a thousand miles a day will be no problem!

Combined with his superb internal strength, taking the head of an enemy general from among thousands of soldiers was as easy as taking something out of a bag!

There's no need to say more about the thirty-six Silver Shadow Guards; that's more than double the number in the Level 1 System Gift Pack!

Most importantly, you can upgrade the eighteen Silver Shadow Guards to Gold Shadow Guards!

The Gold Shadow Guards are now as intelligent as ordinary people, no longer mechanically following their master's orders like the Silver Shadow Guards. When their master is not around, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make any mistakes or go wrong.

This was a timely help for Wei Tingyu, who desperately needed talent!

As for martial arts, according to the system's introduction, one Gold Shadow Guard can roughly fight two Silver Shadow Guards to a draw!

However, if they were to actually fight, two Silver Shadow Guards would definitely be no match for one Gold Shadow Guard!

Because of intelligence! This is a crucial and decisive factor that plays a very important role in battle!

By this calculation, he now has eighteen Gold Shadow Guards and thirty-six Silver Shadow Guards under his command! Adding to that his Grass-Walking Lightness Skill, his strength has increased dramatically compared to before!

……

"Lord Marquis, have you heard?" Wei Tingyu, who had just recovered his senses after exiting the system, saw Dou Zhao looking at him with a serious expression and asking, "It seems that there will be distinguished guests coming to the Liu residence tomorrow!"

“Yes, yes! I overheard the Liu family servants talking about it too!” Zhao Zhangru quickly interjected, “It seems the county magistrate of Ji’an is coming to visit?!”

"Why would the Princess of Ji'an come to the Liu family? She's just a minor official from the Eastern Capital..." Miao Ansu blinked and pointed out the inconsistency in the matter.

“This Princess Ji’an and Liu Chang were childhood sweethearts!” Wei Tingyu had watched the series and knew exactly what was going on, so he said with a smile, “I’m afraid her intentions in this trip are not what they seem!”

Chapter 61 The Sisters Who Know the Truth! He Weifang was moved!

"So that's how it is!" Now the three women understood, especially Dou Zhao, who blinked her big, cute eyes and said as if talking to herself, "I heard before that the Princess of Ji'an had just lost her husband..."

"So she came here to steal Mudan's husband!" Zhao Zhangru frowned, then looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "What do we do now?"

"What can we do about it?" Miao Ansu chuckled upon hearing this. "Just let that wretched husband go to the county princess! Anyway, Sister Peony was taken into our Marquis's household sooner or later..."

“That’s true…” Zhao Zhangru nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, feeling that it was actually a good thing.

"I'm telling you guys..." Wei Tingyu's forehead was immediately covered in black lines upon hearing this!

Good heavens! These three women are discussing how to steal someone else's daughter-in-law in the backyard of the Liu family's house, aren't they?

However, considering that he had already achieved his goal of stealing his wife's husband, it seemed that his three beautiful wives and concubines were truly not from the same family!

"Is the only information you gleaned from the servants of the Liu family that comes from the Princess of Ji'an?" At this moment, Wei Tingyu suddenly thought of something else and looked at Dou Zhao to ask.

"Yes!" Dou Zhao nodded and answered very politely, "It is said that the county princess's widowhood period has ended, so her father summoned her back to the capital. When she passed through Luoyang, she stayed at the Liu family's residence for a few days. Of course, this trip only involved her and a group of entourage!"

"Oh!" Wei Tingyu nodded. It seemed that the Flower and Bird Envoy from the original drama hadn't appeared! But that made sense; this world wasn't just the world of one particular drama, so some differences due to mutual influence were normal!

In this world, the old emperor is still on the throne!

Although the crown prince is young, he is too mediocre, and most of the court officials are worried about the future of the empire!

As the old emperor's younger brother, Prince Qing clearly had considerable ambitions!

In this case, it's possible that Jiang Changyang, the Flower and Bird Envoy, never actually existed! Of course, it's also possible that he did exist, but things are currently developing in other places, so there are still significant differences from the original storyline.

"Let's go!" Wei Tingyu patted his full stomach, then stood up and called to his three wives and concubines, saying, "We can't just stay in the courtyard eating and drinking all day while living in the Liu residence. Let's go see the master and see if there's anything we can do to help!"

……

Wei Tingyu had just arrived in the main courtyard with his three wives and concubines when several men walked out of the corridor next to him. The one in the lead was Liu Chang, He Weifang’s nominal husband!

"The county princess doesn't like the taste of ginger! You must replace the ginseng ginger drink with jasmine pearl soup!" Liu Chang, looking all high and mighty, instructed his servant as he walked, "It's good for your complexion and can also relieve fatigue!"

The servants following him nodded repeatedly in agreement.

It's clear that everyone in the Liu household is on edge in preparation for the arrival of the county princess tomorrow.

Seeing this, Dou Zhao and the other two women showed disdain, especially Zhao Zhangru who directly scoffed to express her contempt for Liu Chang.

In the eyes of the three women, it was unworthy of him to not stand up and help their wives when they were being bullied like this!

Looking at his current arrogant demeanor as he bossed around the servants, the three women felt even more disgusted.

I just think Liu Chang is a complete hypocrite! His despicable and shameless nature is probably even worse than his parents'!

Liu Chang naturally saw Wei Tingyu and his group of four approaching. He was taken aback at first, then gave him a somewhat awkward bow. After all, the other party was a marquis, and no matter how aloof he was, he couldn't forget proper etiquette.

Wei Tingyu nodded slightly. Since he had slept with Liu Chang's wife last night, he wouldn't embarrass him now.

"Where are you headed, Lord Marquis?" Wei Tingyu originally didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but Liu Chang actually took advantage of the situation and came over to ask.

"We were just about to go to the main hall to find your parents and see if there's anything we can do to help!" Wei Tingyu chuckled. He didn't care what happened to the Liu family, but He Weifang was still living under someone else's roof, so he couldn't just pretend nothing was wrong.

"Hmph!" However, Liu Chang's expression suddenly changed after hearing Wei Tingyu's words, and a look of vigilance rose in his eyes.

There's nothing wrong with this guy, right?

In an instant, the same question appeared in the minds of Wei Tingyu and his three wives and concubines.

How come Liu Chang's expression changes faster than a menopausal woman? In the blink of an eye, a dark cloud has settled over her?!

"I never expected that the dignified Marquis of Jining would also have the idea of ​​currying favor with the county princess?" However, Liu Chang's next sentence directly revealed the doubts in their hearts.

So this guy was afraid that Wei Tingyu also had designs on the Princess of Ji'an!
