"Greetings, County Princess!" At the same time, a strong and powerful voice rang out from inside the Liu residence's courtyard gate, and then Wei Tingyu slowly walked out with his three wives and concubines.

Princess Ji'an was taken aback, but when she looked at Wei Tingyu, she frowned slightly.

Although both were nobles in the capital, they had never met before.

However, she had heard of the Marquis of Jining's reputation. He was always engrossed in writing poetry and painting, and was completely a dissolute playboy with no lofty ambitions.

Now, haven't we come to Tokyo for sightseeing again?

He even brought along three beautiful wives and concubines. Just as the rumors said, he was a hopeless man!

However, the three women, Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru, also gave Princess Ji'an a slight shock.

These three women are all top-tier beauties in terms of appearance, looks, and temperament! Most importantly, judging from their expressions and radiance, it is clear that they are living a very happy life in the Marquis's mansion.

This made the Princess of Ji'an, who had been living a miserable life for the past three years, extremely resentful!

"Could it be that Marquis Jining drank too much wine last night and fell asleep among the flowers?" The Princess of Ji'an County was very displeased with this thought, and asked Wei Tingyu with a cold frown!

"Your Highness is too kind!" Wei Tingyu chuckled and said, "But there are indeed many flowers in the Liu residence! For example, the other night, I actually drank too much fine wine and fell asleep among the flowers!"

After saying this, Wei Tingyu even glanced at He Weifang, who was standing among the women.

He Weifang had been paying attention to this area, and only after seeing Wei Tingyu appear did she finally relax completely.

At least she knew that this man hadn't really abandoned her after taking advantage of her; he just got up late!

But now, hearing him say that he was drunk and sleeping in the flower bushes of the Liu mansion the night before last, isn't he talking about himself?

Although these words are metaphorical, is it appropriate to say them in public? What if someone with ulterior motives understands them...?

Thinking of this, He Weifang blushed and quickly glanced around, only to find that no one was thinking anything inappropriate.

Instead, Liu Shen stepped forward with a fawning smile and said, "We heard that a distinguished guest was coming, so we quickly planted flowers all over the courtyard to please the guest and show the sincerity of the Liu family!"

Seeing her father-in-law's shameless behavior, He Weifang felt a sense of satisfaction rising within her.

They're saying he slept with your daughter-in-law, and you actually went up to flatter him. This kind of "sincerity" is truly rare in the world!

Chapter 63 Stealing a man is still the most exciting! He Weifang's heart is with him!

"Oh! Really?" Princess Ji'an was also a person who loved flowers. After all, in her past broken marriage, the only thing she could find solace in was the flowers and plants in her courtyard.

Hearing that the Liu family actually had flowers, and that they were so beautiful that even the Marquis of Jining couldn't bear to leave while sleeping among them, he immediately became curious.

"However, even though the Liu family mansion is full of flowers, only one can catch my eye!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, looking at the curious expression on the Princess of Ji'an's face.

He Weifang finally understood! She was the only one he truly loved!

After everyone else followed the Marquis of Jining and the Princess of Ji'an into the mansion, she was left standing there in a daze.

After all, Wei Tingyu's behavior just now was really too bold!

It was almost like confessing one's feelings to someone in front of everyone; of course, only the two people involved knew the true emotions behind it.

Oh! No, wait! Wei Tingyu's three wives and concubines also know!

However, saying such things in front of her husband's parents and guests stirred up a strange feeling in He Weifang's heart.

It feels kind of...exciting, doesn't it?!

"My lady!" It wasn't until Yu Lu came up to remind her that He Weifang realized that only she and her servant were left in front of the door. She took a deep breath, lifted her skirt, and followed her inside.

……

"Princess! Please!"

Watch out for the steps!

"This setting! These flowers! They were all specially prepared for you and the Marquis!"

"Your Highness! Look over there, there are several very rare varieties!"

...Liu Shen followed closely beside the county princess, humbly introducing the courtyard he had meticulously prepared.

Upon seeing all this, the county magistrate of Ji'an nodded in satisfaction.

The flowers in this courtyard are indeed very well cultivated, basically on par with those in the villas of the Prince's Mansion!

"Excellent!" Princess Ji'an was also very pleased with the flowers and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "I didn't expect to find so many rare varieties here, even in the capital! Lord Liu is truly thoughtful!"

Upon hearing the county magistrate's praise, Liu Shen immediately became overjoyed and blurted out, "My daughter-in-law is skilled at cultivating peonies! She can cultivate even the most unusual varieties!"

"Which one does the princess like? You can take it home and enjoy it to your heart's content!"

After Liu Shen said those words, He Weifang's expression immediately changed.

Yu Lu became even more anxious, her face immediately showing, and she muttered under her breath, "This is my wife's dowry!"

The county magistrate of Ji'an glanced at He Weifang, whose face showed signs of nervousness, and immediately had an idea.

"I came here today hoping to adorn myself with fresh flowers, but the official post station is so simple that I couldn't find a single suitable one!"

"These peonies in the garden are quite pleasing to the eye!"

After speaking, the county magistrate of Ji'an pointed directly to the largest peony in front of him.

"This one? Good!" Liu Shen immediately reached out to pick it and give it to the county princess.

"Wait!" At this moment, He Weifang finally couldn't hold back any longer. She shouted softly and then lifted her skirt and took a few steps forward.

However, at this moment she subconsciously stood beside Wei Tingyu, and then bowed slightly to the Princess of Ji'an and said: "It is my honor to receive the Princess's favor!"

"But these peonies were a dowry gift from my parents!"

"Even if Danniang is dull-witted, she would not dare to be unfilial!"

"I beg Your Highness to show mercy!"

Shen Weifang spoke earnestly, while constantly glancing at Wei Tingyu, hoping he would stand up for her.

"Princess! It's just a flower! Let it go!" Actually, there was no need for He Weifang to make a special offer; Wei Tingyu would definitely help her anyway, since he certainly wouldn't want his woman to suffer such injustice.

However, everyone present was stunned by Wei Tingyu's words! Liu Chang originally wanted to say a few words to persuade the county princess not to pick He Weifang's flowers, but he didn't expect that someone else would beat him to it.

The others were completely bewildered, because no one expected that the Marquis of Jining would suddenly speak up for the young mistress of the Liu family.

"The county princess is a daughter of the imperial family; what rare things hasn't she seen?" Wei Tingyu chuckled at the bewildered crowd and said, "Let's leave these treasures to the young mistress!"

When Wei Tingyu said this, he appeared very polite with a smile, but the firmness in his tone left no room for doubt.

Everyone present understood the meaning behind his words. It seemed that as long as the Princess of Ji'an disagreed and insisted on picking He Weifang's peony, Wei Tingyu would even risk turning against the princess!

Princess Ji'an frowned slightly, then thought of her father, Prince Ning.

The old emperor is currently in poor health, and my father is assisting the crown prince in overseeing the country. The noble families in the capital are my father's top priority in recruiting them.

My father will definitely be angry if I fall out with the Marquis of Jining over such a flower!

At this time, the Princess of Ji'an was filled with the desire to be with Liu Chang, so she naturally wanted to find a way to please her father.

Her eyes darted around, and she quickly weighed the pros and cons. She immediately nodded and said, "Since the Marquis of Jining is so chivalrous, then I shouldn't take what belongs to him."

These words made perfect sense to everyone present, since the county princess's so-called pity for the beautiful was nothing more than her inability to bear seeing the flowers being broken.

Taking away what someone loves is just a matter of not taking away He Weifang's beloved peony.

However, some people interpret this sentence in a completely different way!

He Weifang, in particular, was startled when she heard the county princess's words, and then her face turned red.

From her perspective, Wei Tingyu standing up for her was an act of chivalry and consideration.

But when the county princess said she was taking away someone else's beloved flower, was she referring to the flower or the person?

"Princess! This humble woman will take you to the Water Jade Pavilion for a rest!" He Weifang's mother-in-law quickly stepped forward and led the Princess of Ji'an to another location. Seeing that there was nothing more to see, the crowd followed suit.

Of course, Wei Tingyu's three wives and concubines, Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru, were also among the noblewomen. At this time, their status was second only to the Princess of Ji'an, and they were naturally the objects of everyone's admiration.

In a short while, only a few people remained in the courtyard, but He Weifang and Wei Tingyu had not moved an inch.

Seeing this, Yu Lu, who was standing next to He Weifang, immediately understood. After everyone else had left, she took a few steps forward and stood at the entrance of the courtyard to keep watch for the two of them.

"I thought the Marquis had left the Liu residence last night!" He Weifang finally let out her pent-up resentment and complained to Wei Tingyu.

"How could this be?" Wei Tingyu hadn't expected He Weifang to have changed so much after just one night apart. He smiled and walked over, gently taking her hand in his.

He Weifang frowned, instinctively trying to pull her hand back. But after trying unsuccessfully, she simply gave up.

After all, she was his whole person, so what was a little more than this hand? If he wanted to play with it, he could play with it for now.

"The Marquis has three beautiful wives and concubines in his house... how could he possibly think of anyone else?!" However, letting him hold her hand is one thing, whether or not she complains about it is another matter entirely.

"Is the young mistress... jealous?" Wei Tingyu asked knowingly, seeing He Weifang's tense face, which looked like she was angry and told him not to talk to her.

"Who's jealous?" He Weifang pouted upon hearing this, but felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Wei Tingyu was gently scratching her palm with her fingers.

This feeling made her heart itch!

You must know this is in the Liu residence, and for her, as the young mistress of the Liu family, to be so intimate with the Marquis of Jining... if others saw this, it would be terrible!

But for some reason, He Weifang felt incredibly excited at that moment! Perhaps this is a common human flaw? The clandestine way is always more thrilling than the open!

"I'm just wondering why the Marquis isn't going to keep his three wives company, but instead staying in the courtyard talking to this little woman?" That's how women are, saying one thing and meaning another! They may be happy inside, but they still have to pretend they don't care.
