A time-travel story where I forcefully marry the leading lady in a film/TV series!

There was a chopstick stuck in his right hand and a chopstick stuck in his left leg!

Clearly, this is the only reason why the assassin suddenly stopped trying to assassinate him!

Who was it? Who saved me?

Princess Ji'an blinked, immediately realizing what was happening, and instinctively looked towards the area behind the assassin.

However, the sharp-eyed Princess Ji'an noticed a detail: the pair of jade chopsticks on his table were nowhere to be seen.

It was him!

In an instant, the county magistrate of Ji'an understood the whole story!

While feeling relieved, gratitude towards Wei Tingyu welled up in her heart.

Despite this guy twice humiliating me to protect He Weifang, he still stepped in to protect me at the crucial moment!

Meanwhile, the remaining assassins were shocked to see that their three initial attacks had all failed. They drew their swords from their umbrellas and attacked the Princess of Ji'an.

As expected, assassinating Wei Tingyu and He Weifang was just a side effect! The Princess of Ji'an was the ultimate target!

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and they couldn't take care of everything, they simply abandoned the other two and only wanted to take the life of the Princess of Ji'an!

Chapter 65 He Weifang has a lot of influence! Even the county magistrate was shocked!

Wei Tingyu certainly wouldn't let these assassins succeed so easily!

He simply reached out and patted the windows, and then the windows around the room suddenly opened, and more than a dozen Golden Shadow Guards filed in!

Upon entering the banquet hall, half of the Golden Shadow Guards protected Wei Tingyu and the four women, while the other team instantly surrounded the assassins.

The assassins wanted to resist, since their target was right in front of them, only a few steps away.

However, the Golden Shadow Guards surrounding them gave them no chance whatsoever, quickly capturing all the assassins alive! The entire process was as smooth and efficient as flowing water, showcasing their masterful skills!

Seeing that all the assassins had been subdued and the situation had stabilized, the other panicked guests finally calmed down.

However, when everyone looked at Wei Tingyu again, their eyes were filled with unspeakable meaning.

Good heavens! The guards around the Marquis are truly hidden masters! Each one of them is so skilled in martial arts; it seems as if they captured all these martial arts assassins with just a wave of their hands.

Moreover, Lady Zhao, the concubine by the Marquis's side, had just shown off her skills, which made the female relatives of officials, who usually stayed at home, starry-eyed and full of admiration!

The most impressive one was Wei Tingyu himself! The Marquis had been sitting at his seat the whole time without moving, and he had dealt with the two assassins who were facing him and those who were attacking the county princess using only peas and chopsticks.

The Marquis of Jining's family is indeed a family of military generals! They have a profound heritage!

"Greetings, Princess Ji'an!" Wei Tingyu blinked, looking at the captured assassins without saying a word, but instead looked up at Princess Ji'an standing opposite him.

The woman's expression finally softened, and it seemed that her previous fear had subsided.

"I'm fine!" Princess Ji'an patted her small, full chest twice with her delicate hand, then nodded to Wei Tingyu and said, "Thank you for saving me, Lord Marquis!"

“Youzhen! I…” At this moment, Liu Chang shamelessly came up again. When he saw that the Princess of Ji’an looked at Wei Tingyu with a mixture of gratitude and admiration, he felt a little jealous.

"Stop talking!" The Princess of Ji'an, having just experienced the highs and lows of life and death, suddenly understood many things.

She didn't want to pursue Liu Chang's actions any further, given that he hadn't shown any intention of protecting her. However, she felt that this "white moonlight" was far removed from the man she had originally longed for!

However, even the county princess herself knew that it was impossible for her to cling to Liu Chang like she had just done!

"Who are you people? Why are you trying to assassinate the county princess and me..." Upon seeing this, Wei Tingyu nodded, then looked at the assassins and asked, "Oh! Right! And the young mistress of the Liu family!"

Upon hearing this, He Weifang was also taken aback.

She didn't understand what she had done to attract assassins.

Meanwhile, the other guests present, having calmed down, also became curious, and Mr. and Mrs. Liu were particularly attentive.

Is this daughter-in-law going to bring some kind of disaster to the Liu family?

"The Qingzheng Society acts on behalf of Heaven!" However, the captured assassin leader looked at him with an expression that said, "Do as you please, Prince Ning! He deceives the Emperor and oppresses the people! Everyone has the right to kill him!"

"Understood!" Wei Tingyu nodded immediately and said, "You've come to kill the county princess! But you haven't observed her up close..."

"We had previously heard that the county princess and Madam He of the Liu family had switched places, so you were afraid of missing any targets and simply included both of them on the assassination list."

"As for me... you all think that since I and the county princess moved into the Liu family residence one after the other, we must be birds of a feather..."

Before the assassin leader could finish speaking, Wei Tingyu began to express his own thoughts.

"..." As soon as he finished speaking, all the assassins widened their eyes, because the whole thing was indeed as Wei Tingyu had just said.

"Could this person be hiding under the table where we were plotting? Otherwise, how could he know so much?" This was the only thought in the minds of these assassins at that moment.

"It was my negligence! I failed to check properly, which allowed the thief to sneak into the banquet!" At this moment, Liu Shen finally ran out, trembling. He was both the master of the Liu residence and the host of this banquet, so he was naturally implicated.

"Fortunately, the Princess was not harmed!" Liu Shen and his wife knelt before the Princess of Ji'an, their voices trembling. "However, we have disturbed the Princess and the Marquis's enjoyment! Please forgive us!"

After all, these assassins said that they came to assassinate the Princess of Ji'an!

Wei Tingyu and his daughter-in-law He Weifang were merely implicated, so Liu Shen directly apologized to the county magistrate.

Princess Ji'an pursed her lips speechlessly and looked at Wei Tingyu beside her.

As a woman, she really didn't know how to handle such a big situation!

If it was a servant in the household who made a mistake, she could certainly use her full authority to deal with them all.

She could only wait and see how Wei Tingyu decided to handle the assassination attempt.

However, the Liu family did not understand the county princess's meaning. When Liu Chang saw that his beloved was not forgiving his kneeling parents, he frowned and went up to kneel down with them.

"The Liu residence failed in its duty of oversight! The county magistrate and the marquis have been frightened! We beg you two esteemed gentlemen to show leniency!"

Upon seeing Liu Chang's sincere plea, Dou Zhao and the other three women all inwardly scoffed.

He Weifang felt even more disdain for her nominal husband's current actions.

So you're not mute after all; you did know to stand up and plead for others!

So it seems you were unmoved by all the suffering and pain I endured in your home over the past year. It's not that you didn't know how to plead for me, but that you simply weren't willing to!

The county magistrate of Ji'an glanced at Wei Tingyu and, seeing his nonchalant expression, immediately understood.

"Zishu! What are you doing?" The Princess of Ji'an looked at Liu Chang kneeling before her and nodded, saying, "For your sake... I'll let it go!"

At the same time, the Princess of Ji'an was also filled with melancholy, after all, he was her white moonlight! Although she had now realized that he was no longer the man she had imagined, not pursuing his crime of letting the Liu family go this time could be considered an explanation for the long-term longing in her heart!

Thinking of this, the county magistrate of Ji'an strode past Liu Chang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and came to Wei Tingyu.

She glanced meaningfully at Dou Zhao and the other two women standing behind her, before silently bowing to Wei Tingyu and saying, "Thank you, Marquis Wei, for saving my life!"

Not only were the people present stunned, but even Wei Tingyu was taken aback. He blinked and wondered what was going on.

I clearly didn't see this scene when I watched the show before! But why does the Princess of Ji'an seem so much more understanding now?

However, upon closer reflection, Wei Tingyu felt relieved.

After all, the Princess of Ji'an had only become somewhat numb due to her long-standing high position and didn't care much about the suffering of others, but that didn't mean she was a willful, ungrateful person.

Wei Tingyu had just saved her life, a fact witnessed by everyone present in public.

Even for the sake of the Ning Prince's Mansion, Princess Ji'an had no choice but to show her gratitude.

“Princess, there’s no need for such formalities!” Wei Tingyu said, thinking to himself, “It was just a small favor, and besides, these assassins also had me and the young mistress as targets, so of course I had to help!”

As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes again.

Because it contains a piece of information that no one could understand at the moment.

Why didn't you just say that the assassin's target included you? Why did you have to mention the young mistress of the Liu family?

Is it possible that your intervention was also related to her?

Everyone present turned their eyes wide, simultaneously pondering whether the words were a slip of the tongue by the Marquis of Jining or a deliberate reference.

He Weifang, who was standing next to Wei Tingyu, naturally understood the meaning behind those words, and her face immediately turned slightly red.

As the county princess of Ji'an raised her head, she gave He Weifang a meaningful look. When she realized that the woman was actually blushing, she was also taken aback.

Could it be that Liu Chang's wife really has some special feelings for the Marquis of Jining? If so, that would be quite a juicy piece of gossip!

However, Princess Ji'an, having thought of this, didn't have time to delve into the matter further. She turned to look at Liu Shen's family, who were still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lord Liu! Today's events were entirely due to the intervention of the Marquis of Jining, which prevented a major disaster! If you wish to beg for forgiveness, you should come and beg the Marquis of Jining!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Shen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly scrambled to his knees in front of Wei Tingyu, kowtowed twice, and then begged for mercy, "This humble official was negligent, please punish me, Your Highness!"

After he finished speaking, Liu Shen's body, which was kneeling there, began to tremble! After all, the ruthlessness that Wei Tingyu had just shown made him realize that this Marquis was not really the elegant gentleman he appeared to be.

However, Wei Tingyu did not speak directly. Instead, he sat there, closed his eyes, and seemed to begin thinking.

His next words would determine the fate of Liu Shen's family, a fact known to everyone present.

As time slowly passed, everyone in the venue held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Because the lives and fortunes of nearly a hundred people in the Liu family all depended on Wei Tingyu's next decision.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, Wei Tingyu slowly opened her eyes again.

He gave Liu Shen, who was kneeling before him trembling, a meaningful look, and waved his hand casually, saying, "For the sake of the young mistress, I won't blame you. Get up, both of you!"

...Just that simple sentence pulled Liu Shen's heart back from hell to the human world.

After taking a deep breath, he was surprised to find that his back was completely soaked with sweat!
