“Then…why not let Peony go…to the Jining Marquis’s residence…to keep him company for a few days…” At this moment, Liu Shen’s wife finally spoke up hesitantly, “I think the Jining Marquis seems quite interested in our Peony, who knows…”

Upon hearing this, He Weifang and Yu Lu outside the window were both stunned.

Good heavens! Is this guy planning to sell his daughter-in-law?

Although I am now Wei Tingyu's man from top to bottom, it was all of my own free will! What kind of nonsense is it for you to plot against me behind my back?

Besides, the idea of ​​the parents-in-law secretly plotting to offer their daughter-in-law to another man and then cuckold their son... only the Liu family would do something like that!

Yu Lu's face turned red with anger. Her young lady liked the Marquis, and the Marquis liked the young lady; that was a matter of mutual affection between them. How could you two be whispering and making such sordid private deals?

Not only did it not tarnish the young lady's pure feelings and fidelity!

Of course, the loyalty that Yu Lu was thinking about was He Weifang's loyalty to Wei Tingyu, and had nothing to do with Liu Chang and the Liu family!

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?" Liu Shen interrupted his wife, saying, "Mudan has to go and keep him company! And she has to bring a gift!"

"Who is the Marquis of Jining? He's someone who's seen the world in the capital!"

"Putting everything else aside, just look at the three wives and concubines following behind him. Aren't they all top-notch beauties?"

"If we send Peony over and have her keep us company for a few days, will he willingly speak on our behalf to Prince Ning?"

"It's absolutely impossible not to send the gift!"

...And Liu Shen took the word "shameless" to the extreme! When he spoke, He Weifang, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens! You shameless in-laws!

So they had already reached a tacit understanding before discussing it, meaning that they were destined to be sacrificed no matter what?

Fortunately, they were talking about Wei Tingyu! These two old folks don't need to ask; I'm willing to go with him anyway!

But what if it wasn't Wei Tingyu? What if it were some other high-ranking official or nobleman?

In order to curry favor, they would definitely offer themselves up without hesitation!

The thought that if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Wei Tingyu, she might have been sent to bed by those shameless Liu family couple someday to be with some fat, greasy, high-ranking old man... made He Weifang feel nauseous.

"They...!" Yu Lu was furious when she heard this, and she couldn't help but want to go up and kick open the door to give those two old bastards a good scolding.

After all, the Marquis of Jining is so fond of the young lady right now, he will definitely take her with him when he leaves this time! Then I won't have to put up with the Liu family's humiliation anymore!

"Wait!" He Weifang grabbed Yu Lu, telling her not to act rashly, and said, "Don't be hasty, let's see what else they have to say!"

He Weifang was also furious, but she calmed down at this moment!

There's nothing or no one in my in-laws' family I want to stay with anymore; now's the perfect time to see just how shameless they really are...

"If that's the case!" Liu Shen's wife was taken aback by her husband's words, then subconsciously said, "It seems the only solution is to sell the imperial gift of the Purple Rhinoceros Pill!"

Purple Rhinoceros Pill? He Weifang was stunned for a moment, and immediately exchanged a glance with Yu Lu. At the same time, the two women saw shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

Wasn't there only one Purple Rhinoceros Pill in the Liu family? And when I married into the Liu family, it was already given to my family as part of the betrothal gifts to save my mother's life!

Could it be that my mother-in-law misspoke in her haste?

However, before He Weifang could figure it out, she heard Liu Shen shout angrily from inside: "That Purple Rhinoceros Pill can save lives in critical moments, it must not be sold!"

"Didn't her father give her a large sum of money when Mudan entered the family?"

"Now it's all gone? How do you manage to keep the household?"

"Master! Two distinguished guests have arrived at our residence. Leaving aside the cost of the banquet, they will be staying here temporarily..."

"You woman are so short-sighted! Your son's future career and the Liu family's honor will all depend on these next few days!"

...The conversation inside the room shocked He Weifang! At this moment, she was certain that the Purple Rhinoceros Pill that the Liu family had given her mother was definitely fake!

"Didn't someone have their eye on those shops that Peony was part of her dowry?" Liu Shen then spoke up, "Have Xiangfu take the accountant to sell them! That should be enough to tide us over for a while! Don't even think about taking the tribute medicine!"

……

He Weifang returned to her room in a daze, like a walking corpse.

As soon as Yu Lu turned around and closed the door, she collapsed weakly onto the floor.

After all, this truth was a huge blow to her!

She had previously thought that her mother's fate was sealed, and that even with the medicine Zi Xi Wan, she couldn't be saved, so she had no one to blame but herself.

But to their surprise, the medicine provided by the Liu family turned out to be fake!

In a sense, the Liu family are the murderers who killed their own mother!

After all, if they didn't use fake medicine to deceive themselves, then their mother would still have a glimmer of hope if she went to other places to seek medical treatment!

"I will make them pay! I will make them pay!" With two lines of crystal tears dripping down her cheeks onto the floor, He Weifang angrily slapped the ground with her hand, but felt no pain in her palm.

At this moment, she felt nothing but hatred towards the Liu family.

"But we are outnumbered and outmatched, how can we resist?" Yu Lu asked He Weifang, then slapped her forehead and said, "That's it, let's go find the Marquis to stand up for us!"

"No!" He Weifang quickly shook her head upon hearing this, saying, "This matter cannot involve the Marquis! After all, this is still a family matter of the Liu family!"

"If my affair with the Marquis is exposed like this, who knows, the officials in the capital might submit a memorial impeaching him!"

"Besides, we have no evidence, and the Liu family will definitely deny it outright!"

He Weifang thought for a moment, shook her head, and said that at this moment she did have the desire to avenge her mother, but she was also worried about causing trouble for Wei Tingyu.

"Then why don't we tell our master about this!" Yu Lu thought for a moment and then suggested, "Let our master seek justice!" 1.6

“No!” He Weifang shook her head upon hearing this: “We have no evidence right now, and even if we involve Father, it will be of no use.”

"Even if we turn the Liu residence upside down and find the real medicine supplier, they will still deny it!"

"If the two families fall out, we, the He family, are just merchants, and we'll probably be branded as ungrateful!"

"What we can do now is to get out of the Liu family unscathed and then discuss things further when we get home!"

...As soon as He Weifang finished speaking, she suddenly heard a soft creaking sound from the door behind her.

Immediately afterwards, the door was gently pushed open from the outside, which startled He Weifang and Yu Lu, who then turned around to look.

They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Wei Tingyu who came in.

If the Liu family had overheard his plot, he would have been completely finished.

"My lord!" He Weifang quickly winked at Yu Lu, and then the two women helped each other to their feet, bowing slightly to Wei Tingyu and saying, "What brings you to my little courtyard?"

"I've been to this little courtyard of yours before!" Wei Tingyu smiled, then walked straight forward and gently wiped away the tears on He Weifang's cheeks.

He Weifang was taken aback, but was immediately warmed by Wei Tingyu's gentle gesture.

This bit of kindness was like a godsend to her, who had just witnessed the cold and disgusting side of the Liu family!

She didn't even feel embarrassed when Wei Tingyu said he had been to this courtyard before, a statement that carried a hint of flirtation and ambiguity, even though Yu Lu was right next to her.

Of course, Yulu wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, she was overjoyed!

The Marquis's current actions clearly show that he dotes on his young lady, which makes her support even more secure!

Moreover, in Yu Lu's view, helping her mistress cuckold the Liu family is a form of revenge, and just thinking about it makes her feel gratified!

Chapter 67 A Second Wife?! He Weifang's Surprise!

"Why are you crying? Who offended the young mistress?" Wei Tingyu blinked and then looked at He Weifang and asked.

"No..." He Weifang wanted to tell Wei Tingyu all the pain in her heart, but when she thought that she couldn't cause him trouble, she shook her head with a bitter smile.

"Little liar!" Wei Tingyu knew exactly what was going on, but he still had to put on an act. He could only tenderly pull the young woman in front of him into his arms, gently stroking her back and head while turning to look at Yu Lu standing beside him.

“Yu Lu, you said…” Wei Tingyu blinked and began, “You’re not allowed to hide it from me, otherwise…”

"My lord, please allow me to speak!" Yu Lu glanced at her mistress and saw that she was no longer as sorrowful as before in Wei Tingyu's arms. She immediately made up her mind, bit her lip, and bowed to Wei Tingyu, saying, "The Liu family has gone too far! Even if my mistress doesn't want me to tell you, my lord, I will still tell you! Afterwards, my mistress, you can scold or beat me as you please..."

"Yulu!" He Weifang was startled and wanted to stop Yulu from continuing. But seeing the resolute look in her eyes, she knew that once her maid was stubborn, not even ten oxen could pull her back.

Looking up at Wei Tingyu's caring and loving gaze, He Weifang's heart finally softened.

Never mind! I might have been overthinking things. Maybe Wei Tingyu will actually have a solution after I bring this up.

With her husband standing up for her, she felt much more at ease.

……

"The Liu family is truly a den of wolves and wolves!" Wei Tingyu sneered after hearing He Weifang's words, and said, "So after careful consideration, you finally decided not to tell me and to handle this matter yourself, is that right?"

"Yes!" He Weifang glanced at Wei Tingyu timidly, as if afraid of angering him. Relieved that he didn't blame her, she nodded and said, "After all, I still want to avenge my mother myself!"

It has to be said that He Weifang has thought through all the ways to handle this situation in a very short time!

However, she overlooked the most important point: the Liu family often did not follow the rules!

"Alright!" Wei Tingyu nodded upon hearing this, after all, wanting to take revenge personally was only human nature!

"However, the Liu family is no pushover! They might resort to some extreme measures!"

Of course, Wei Tingyu couldn't let his woman busy herself with these revenge matters while he just stood by and watched, so he added, "That's why I'll also step in to help you! I'll make sure you won't be harmed by the Liu family's underhanded and dirty tricks!"

"Mmm!" He Weifang felt relieved upon hearing this and immediately rested her head on Wei Tingyu's shoulder, the two hugging even tighter!

Upon seeing this, Yu Lu immediately tiptoed out of the room, closed the door from the outside, and stood guard at the doorway!

In her view, wasn't this also a way of taking revenge on the Liu family and avenging the mistress of the main family?
