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

Upon hearing the county magistrate's words, Liu's mother trembled with fear.

She was genuinely afraid that the county princess would go back and complain about her family to Prince Ning, which would truly ruin everything.

For a powerful figure like Prince Ning, who wields immense influence over the entire court, eliminating her husband, a minor official of the fifth rank, would be easier than crushing an ant.

This scene was clearly seen by Liu Chang, who had been hiding behind the pillar.

At that moment, he did want to rush over and speak up for his mother, but he became afraid after seeing the county princess's cold gaze.

"Don't worry, since Marquis Wei has pardoned the Liu family today, I naturally won't tell my father!" Princess Ji'an was very satisfied to see Liu's mother's trembling appearance. She felt that if she raised the stakes a little more, the other party would have no choice but to obediently move He Weifang out of the small courtyard.

Then I'll have more time to really understand what kind of person Wei Tingyu is!

It can only be said that at this moment, Princess Ji'an had developed a great curiosity about Wei Tingyu, to the point that everything in the Liu family, including Liu Chang, her former white moonlight, was no longer her top priority!

"However, the servants are so incompetent that they must be punished!"

"All those who served at today's flower banquet shall be punished with eighty strokes of the cane!"

"Mr. He failed in his duty! Forty strokes of the cane!"

Upon hearing the words of the Princess of Ji'an, all the servants present turned pale with fright.

"Princess, spare us!" The crowd knelt down in unison, begging for mercy.

Eighty strokes of the cane would kill a weaker person instantly!

Even those who are strong and healthy will have to stay in bed for three or four months, and may even suffer lifelong disability!

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother turned pale, but she dared not disobey the county princess's orders, for in her eyes, the lives of these servants were far less important than her own.

Of course, she also knew that the county princess was forcing her to move He Weifang away from the small courtyard next to Wei Tingyu as soon as possible. She immediately said, "He Weifang was negligent! The Liu family will definitely deal with her according to family law! The servants who should be punished will not be let off lightly!"

"After He was flogged, I sent her back to her parents' home to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion!"

"Is the county princess satisfied?"

Upon hearing Liu's mother's statement, the Princess of Ji'an closed her eyes slightly, as getting rid of He Weifang was her most important goal at the moment.

"Wait!" But before the Princess of Ji'an could speak, a soft shout suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dou Zhao walking in gracefully with Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru.

"I just heard the servants outside chattering away, and I was wondering which distinguished guest was staying in this empty courtyard next door!" Dou Zhao stepped forward quickly and politely, giving a slight bow to the county princess, saying, "I didn't expect it to be the county princess staying here!"

"Lady Wei!" The county princess was surprised that Wei Tingyu hadn't arrived yet after she moved here, but his three wives and concubines had come first. She immediately stood up and returned the greeting to Dou Zhao.

After all, she was interested in Wei Tingyu as a person, and it wouldn't be good to have too much of a falling out with her wives and concubines.

"We just passed by and heard the county magistrate say that all the servants in this household should be flogged eighty times, and He Shi forty times?" Dou Zhao was certainly not there for the Liu family, but for these poor servants, since most of them were innocent.

Dou Zhao and the other two would not have the heart to lose their lives in this unexpected disaster.

"If the family rules are not strict, how can one manage the household?" After hearing Dou Zhao's words, the county princess simply nodded and said, "This He family's young mistress not only failed to supervise properly, but also did not cultivate proper feminine virtues. I suppose Lady Wei Hou feels the same way?"

In the county princess's view, the entire Liu family now knows about the ambiguous relationship between He Weifang and Wei Tingyu, so Dou Zhao, as Wei Tingyu's legal wife, must naturally dislike He Weifang.

So he will definitely support me in doing this!

"The Liu family's affairs are for the Liu family to handle! Why should the county princess bother with this?" However, Dou Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Besides, this young mistress is gentle, virtuous, and well-educated. Our Marquis speaks highly of her!"

"Huh?" Everyone present was stunned by these words, including the county princess and Liu's mother.

Of course, their expressions then took completely different turns.

The county princess was merely surprised; she hadn't expected Dou Zhao to be so magnanimous!

It was obvious that she knew about the affair between He Weifang and her own lord. The two were exchanging flirtatious glances at the flower banquet, and Dou Zhao, who was sitting next to her, couldn't possibly have missed it.

But instead of stopping her, she stood up to speak for her rival He Weifang.

It has to be said, Wei Tingyu manages his backyard very well!

The county princess's lips twitched, feeling as if her worldview had been completely overturned.

Liu's mother looked embarrassed, after all, He Weifang was still her daughter-in-law!

The Marquis raved about her? That sounds so awkward.

Even Liu Chang, who was hiding behind the pillar, turned ashen-faced, but then his face turned even more ashen! Because he had spotted three figures approaching from a distance.

The one in the middle was Wei Tingyu, who looked smug and proud, displaying the demeanor of a noble young master.

His wife, He Weifang, followed him obediently, her eyes occasionally glancing at Wei Tingyu with admiration and affection.

This was a look Liu Chang had never seen in He Weifang's eyes before!

Chapter 69 Four Women Living Together! The County Princess Gets Jealous!

What's most infuriating is that little girl Yu Lu. She also saw Liu Chang hiding behind the pillar, but instead of coming forward to greet her or remind He Weifang, she glared at her defiantly!

Good heavens! He Weifang has really latched onto Wei Tingyu's coattails now! Even her maid is this arrogant?!

"Hey! Isn't this Young Master Liu?" Of course, if Yu Lu could spot Liu Chang hiding behind the pillar, then Wei Tingyu certainly couldn't hide it either! He walked straight up to him, nodded slightly exaggeratedly, and said loudly, "What are you doing hiding here?"

The other women, who hadn't noticed Liu Chang before, all turned around, especially the Princess of Ji'an!

When she saw Liu Chang awkwardly emerge from behind the pillar, she subconsciously frowned. At that moment, she truly felt a sense of disgust for her former "white moonlight."

What kind of man would hide behind a pillar to eavesdrop on women's conversations? And most importantly, this guy saw everything that just happened, but he just let his mother kneel there without coming out to plead for her?

What a worthless, irresponsible man! How could I have been so blind to think he was the perfect husband in the world?

Of course, the county princess's eyes lit up again when they shifted from Liu Chang to Wei Tingyu.

After all, everything is subject to comparison!

The stark difference in their demeanor was immediately apparent when the two stood together.

The only thing that displeased the county magistrate of Ji'an was that He Weifang was also by Wei Tingyu's side at this moment.

"Princess! Madam Hou! Mother-in-law!" He Weifang blushed slightly when she saw that everyone's eyes were on her. She took two steps forward and bowed to them.

"Such a big thing happened at the banquet, and instead of reflecting on your mistakes behind closed doors, you actually ran out..." Liu's mother immediately revealed a fierce look when she saw He Weifang. She instinctively wanted to scold her, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Wei Tingyu next to her.

The man frowned slightly, which startled Liu's mother so much that she immediately shut her mouth.

"Lord Wei!" Princess Ji'an blinked, moved closer to Wei Tingyu, and asked, "Why are you with the young mistress again?"

Huh? Why did you say "again"?

Everyone present was simultaneously puzzled. The two had sat together since the banquet, and now they were walking side-by-side. It seemed their relationship was indeed more than just ordinary!

At this moment, even the maids and servants of the Liu family knew exactly what was going on!

Liu Chang's face turned ashen instantly, because he remembered what had just happened.

When I passed by the small courtyard where He Weifang lived, I clearly saw Yulu alone guarding the door and windows of the house, but I did not see He Weifang.

He assumed the other person was resting inside, but seeing them appear with Wei Tingyu... does that mean...?

Wei Tingyu was in He Weifang's boudoir at the time.

Good heavens! What are those two doing?

Thinking of this, Liu Chang felt dizzy and realized that he was almost certainly being cuckolded!

"After the banquet, I discussed the cultivation of peonies with the young mistress!" Wei Tingyu said bluntly, making no attempt to hide the fact that he had been with He Weifang the whole time.

"You two... have been together ever since?" Princess Ji'an blinked, and suddenly a sour feeling of jealousy welled up in her heart.

"Yes!" He Weifang even nodded proactively. Everyone already knew the truth, so why should she pretend?

Upon hearing He Weifang's words, Liu Chang swayed and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

After all, how could a self-important, pretentious man like him tolerate his wife's betrayal? Especially now, he found that everyone present was looking at him, and those gazes contained both sympathy and mockery!

So everyone knows they've been cuckolded!

This is actually the hardest thing for him to accept!

"Peony! Please beg Marquis Wei and the County Princess to forgive the Liu family's sins!" And Liu's mother, of course, had also figured it out; this daughter-in-law was indeed already inseparable from Wei Tingyu!

However, in order to escape the county magistrate's punishment, he quickly swallowed his pride and begged He Weifang.

Upon hearing this, He Weifang immediately frowned. This old geezer really has a thick skin!

When you and your shameless husband conspired to steal my dowry and used fake medicine to treat my mother, did you ever think about the sins of your Liu family?

How dare they ask me to plead for them now?

He Weifang rolled her eyes at Liu's mother and then turned her face away.

This was the first time Liu's mother had been treated like this by her daughter-in-law. However, since Wei Tingyu was backing her up, she dared not express any dissatisfaction and could only silently lower her head.

"Forget it! I was just trying to help the Liu family get rid of these unreliable servants!" Princess Ji'an suddenly said, "Since Marquis Wei has already pardoned you, I won't make a fuss about it!"

At this moment, she had no choice but to curry favor with Wei Tingyu since she could no longer drive He Weifang away.

"Then I, on behalf of the young mistress, thank the county magistrate for his understanding!" Wei Tingyu smiled upon hearing this and then spoke.

"You thank me on behalf of the young mistress?" Princess Ji'an was taken aback, then realized that Wei Tingyu's words were clearly telling her that He Weifang was already his woman and that she should not try to touch her anymore.

"Alright! I'm tired!" The Princess of Ji'an was also quite confused at the moment. She had no idea how Wei Tingyu and He Weifang had gotten together, so she simply waved her hand and said, "I want to rest for a bit. Everyone, please go back!"
