As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shen was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what he meant.
After all, the claims that the county princess and Liu Chang were childhood sweethearts were all made by him, and the officials in Dongdu certainly wouldn't believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.
Moreover, if Liu Chang were truly qualified to marry the county princess, he should have been the son-in-law of the Prince of Ning's mansion three years ago. Why would his entire family have been demoted to the Eastern Capital as the garrison commander?
Although the county princess has just become a widow, it doesn't necessarily mean that your Liu family can get close to her!
Having figured these things out, Liu Shen immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking, but he secretly made up his mind.
You people have been so arrogant and dismissive of me! Just wait until the county princess and my son get married, then let's see what kind of faces you still have!
Meanwhile, in the line of women, He Weifang was craning her neck and looking around.
"Huh? Where is Marquis Jining?" When He Weifang looked around and found that not only was Wei Tingyu not there, but his three wives and concubines were also not there, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
Logically speaking, when the county princess arrives, the Marquis of Jining should also come out to greet her! But he is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he has already passed away?
You see, He Weifang waited anxiously and expectantly for most of the night, but Wei Tingyu never came to find her again. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also cursed the heartless man in her heart!
After all, he had just acquired his person the day before, and today he simply hasn't shown his face!
The fact that Wei Tingyu and his wives and concubines were nowhere to be seen made He Weifang even more panicked.
Could it be that this guy is a real scumbag who ran away after getting his hands on me?
Thinking of this, she even frowned, only to see her mother-in-law glaring at her with an angry expression.
Good heavens! This really startled He Weifang!
After all, she was looking for her lover at that moment, and she subconsciously felt guilty when her mother-in-law saw her.
Feeling guilty, she quickly turned her head away, no longer daring to look around, though her small eyes were still darting around erratically.
Meanwhile, a large procession of carriages and people appeared in the distance, slowly approaching the main gate of the Liu residence!
……
"You're really something, Lord Marquis! The County Princess is here today, and you're still dawdling around in the house!" Dou Zhao finished fastening Wei Tingyu's belt, then looked at the young man in front of her with a coquettish expression and complained.
“County Princess? Do I know her that well?” Wei Tingyu sneered indifferently.
Then, taking advantage of Dou Zhao's inattention, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her forward, then lowered his head and gave her a quick kiss on the lips!
Although the county princess and Wei Tingyu were not familiar with each other, they had no enmity either! However, her pomp and circumstance were really grand. Last night, before she even arrived in the Eastern Capital, she sent people to have everyone greet her at the main gate.
Although Wei Tingyu's current status is not as high as that of the county princess's father, Prince Ning, he absolutely disdains to do such sycophantic things!
Besides, as a transmigrator with a cheat system, he might not even care if the Prince of Ning came, let alone a mere county princess.
He now has enough leverage to challenge the other party!
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Dou Zhao accidentally licked her lips and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wei Tingyu before quickly taking two steps back to escape from his reach.
At the same time, her face flushed, she secretly glanced at Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru beside her.
When the two sisters saw that Dou Zhao had been taken advantage of by Wei Tingyu after getting up early in the morning, they were not jealous at all, but instead covered their mouths and chuckled.
His expression was exactly like that of a bystander watching a melon, as if it had nothing to do with the two of them.
"He's a marquis after all, how can he be so shameless!" Dou Zhao wanted to give Wei Tingyu a good scolding, but she didn't know how to say it. Besides, it was extremely disrespectful for a wife to scold her husband, so she could only helplessly complain.
"Am I a scoundrel?" Wei Tingyu blinked, then waved to Miao Ansu, who was standing next to him holding a cloak.
Miao Ansu blushed immediately upon seeing him, but she still obediently walked up to Wei Tingyu and let him put his arm around her shoulder.
Then, seeing Wei Tingyu slowly lower his face, she felt extremely shy, but still obediently closed her eyes.
After the touch on her lips left, Miao Ansu's face was already flushed, but she just stared at Wei Tingyu with her bewildered eyes, unable to say a word.
"Look how well-behaved Susu is!" Wei Tingyu was truly proud at this moment!
Putting everything else aside, Miao Ansu is truly obedient and docile, perfectly fulfilling the fantasies of all men with chauvinistic tendencies!
Yes! We should make Susu a role model for the women in the household, establish her as an example, and encourage everyone to learn from her!
Of course, this was just Wei Tingyu's wishful thinking at the moment. At least in this room, Zhao Zhangru scoffed at such behavior.
"Susu! How could you do this?" Zhao Zhangru couldn't help but speak up when she saw Miao Ansu's docile, kitten-like appearance. "We all agreed to unite and not let the Marquis do as he pleases. How could you betray your sisters so quickly?"
"The husband is the head of the household, and I'm just a concubine, aren't I?" Miao Ansu felt embarrassed after hearing Zhao Zhangru's complaint and explained in a low voice.
"Sigh! I think you're hopeless!" Zhao Zhangru slapped his forehead, looking at you with a speechless expression, and then said, "The Marquis beckons to you, and you run over like a puppy? Indeed, the worst thing for someone who wants to achieve great things is to have a traitor!"
"What big thing could it be?" Wei Tingyu was amused when he heard this. So his three wives and concubines were secretly plotting a rebellion?
"What great things can he accomplish? It's all just a joke!" Dou Zhao laughed at this moment. The three women had discussed how to keep Wei Tingyu in check, how to prevent him from being too promiscuous, and how to prevent him from casually bringing his sisters home... But judging from the current situation, it's impossible to control him at all!
Miao Ansu, in particular, was completely defenseless against Wei Tingyu's gaze.
Of course, Dou Zhao herself knew that her condition wasn't much better; at most, she could last two or three seconds longer than Miao Ansu!
"Alright, it's almost time!" Thinking of this, Dou Zhao stepped forward and took the cloak from Miao Ansu, draping it over Wei Tingyu's shoulders. Then he gently patted Wei Tingyu's chest twice and said, "After all, the county princess is a member of the royal family, so we shouldn't be too rude!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu nodded. His first wife was indeed the most agreeable person to speak! However, what she said did make sense!
Although he is not afraid of Prince Ning at the moment, there is no need to go to the point of falling out with him. At the very least, he should continue to bide his time for a while.
"Wait!" Just as Wei Tingyu turned to leave, Zhao Zhangru suddenly called out, "Has the Marquis forgotten something?"
"What's going on?" Not only Wei Tingyu, but also Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu were stunned.
The two women exchanged a glance, neither understanding what Zhao Zhangru was talking about.
“It’s just…” Zhao Zhangru felt a little embarrassed when all three of them looked at her. However, she still stubbornly looked at Wei Tingyu and pointed to her red lips with her slender fingers, saying, “My lord, you can’t neglect one thing for another…”
Understood!
The three of them immediately had an expression of sudden realization.
This girl was unhappy because she saw Wei Tingyu kiss Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu, but not her!
But wait a minute! Didn't she just complain that Miao Ansu fell for Wei Tingyu's gentleness so easily?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Zhangru blushed when she saw that Miao Ansu's gaze was full of teasing.
However, she still bravely walked over, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Wei Tingyu on the lips.
Then, ignoring the three people who were still standing there, he turned around and walked out of the room.
"My lord, hurry up! I can already hear the bells of the county princess's carriage at the gate!" As Zhao Zhangru's voice came, the three of them were jolted awake.
Wei Tingyu's lips twitched; he was truly speechless at this moment!
Goodness! Zhao Zhangru is really proactive! But come to think of it, was I just being flirted with by her?
Where would this leave the Marquis's face?
……
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Liu residence!"
After the carriage came to a stop, the princess's maidservant stepped forward to inform the passengers inside, and then slowly opened the carriage door.
Then, the face of a classically beautiful woman from the Tang Dynasty appeared in the sight of everyone in the room.
It must be said that Princess Ji'an truly possesses the elegance and charm of a Tang Dynasty beauty!
In addition, his noble demeanor, stemming from his royal lineage, captivated all the women present!
The men lowered their heads almost simultaneously, for no one dared to raise their heads and offend the emperor before the county princess could reply!
In the room, only one man craned his neck to look at the county princess. Their eyes met instantly, and they both smiled knowingly.
Princess Ji'an took a deep breath and slowly stepped out of the carriage. Everyone present knelt down and bowed to her, saying, "May Princess Ji'an be well!"
The county magistrate of Ji'an glanced around and immediately spotted He Weifang standing next to Liu Chang's mother. From her attire and position, she knew that this woman was Liu Chang's legal wife, and her expression immediately changed.
Immediately, a servant rushed forward and knelt down beside the carriage, serving as a human stool.
Princess Ji'an then stepped down directly onto the servant's back.
However, she did not speak immediately after coming down. Instead, she let everyone kneel there for a while before lazily saying, "No need for formalities!"
"Thank you, County Princess!" the crowd replied and stood up, but Liu Chang frowned slightly.
He had already sensed something was wrong. Why was this county princess so different from the white moonlight in his memory?
Although Liu Chang is narrow-minded and loves to show off, he is generally self-righteous. He instinctively felt some aversion to the county princess's condescending and disregard for others.
“County Princess…” As the head of the Liu family, Liu Shen stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the County Princess of Ji’an. Just as he was about to welcome her in, he saw her turn around and walk towards Liu Chang.
"Zishu! It's been a long time. How have you been?" The Princess of Ji'an asked Liu Chang directly, while glancing at He Weifang standing not far away out of the corner of her eye.
This is clearly a protest!
However, her actions at this moment filled He Weifang with contempt! You can have Liu Chang if you like, I'm not going to fight you for him!
Did you think I would be jealous of you over this scumbag?
He Weifang found the county magistrate of Ji'an's act of falsely seeking out enemies extremely amusing!
However, Liu Shen became smug at this moment, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Chen Gong, who had just humiliated him, as if to say, "See? Was the Princess of Ji'an's affection for my son fake?"
"All is well!" Liu Chang smiled slightly and said, "I have heard about the county magistrate's matter! I hope the county magistrate will not worry too much!"
Princess Ji'an smiled slightly, then turned to Liu Shen and asked, "I heard that Marquis Jining is also staying at the manor. Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
"Lord Marquis, he..." Liu Shen was taken aback. He had personally gone to inform Wei Tingyu earlier that morning. But who would have thought that the man wouldn't get up to greet him? As a mere minor official stationed in the Eastern Capital, how could he dare to ask any more questions?
