"My lady, you'll be busy soon! Have a piece of cake to tide you over!" On the bustling street, He Weifang and Yulu walked side by side toward their shop. At the same time, Yulu took out a piece of cake from the small food box she was carrying and handed it to He Weifang.

"After the divorce, these two shops will still be responsible for the sales of perfume in Dongdu! This is a major matter for the Marquis!" He Weifang shook her head and said as she continued walking forward, "How can I eat anything if this matter isn't settled?"

"Now that you're divorced, my lady, you'll have the Marquis to protect you. Why bother running the shop anymore?" Yu Lu tilted her head, looking puzzled. In her opinion, it was completely unnecessary!

After all, she knew how much Wei Tingyu doted on his wife!

“We can’t really become housewives after we enter the Marquis’s mansion, with everything provided for by the Marquis!” Then He Weifang looked at Yulu beside her, smiled and shook her head, saying, “Madam and my two younger sisters are either good at business or skilled in martial arts. They are all virtuous helpers to the Marquis! I can’t fall behind!”

When He Weifang said this, in addition to her aspiration to become Wei Tingyu's capable assistant in the future, she was also very satisfied with the realization of her self-worth.

When she was drinking and having fun with everyone last night, she learned from Dou Zhao and the other two women that Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu were still running their respective shops, and that Zhao Zhangru could continue to practice her beloved martial arts. She was overjoyed!

Who would have thought there was a gentleman like the Marquis in the world?! Not only did he not want to confine his wives and concubines to the inner quarters for his own amusement, but he was also willing to help them achieve their careers and hobbies!

This is truly a rare find!

"There is a Fangyuan Garden left by my mother in the capital. When we return to the capital with the Marquis, I can start to manage and restore this Fangyuan Garden!"

As she said this, He Weifang's eyes lit up, because such a wonderful life and dream seemed to be just around the corner!

"No matter what you do, Miss, Yulu will be with you!" Yulu was also excited after hearing He Weifang's words. She was happy for her young mistress's tremendous transformation in just a few days.

The young lady, who had been living like a zombie in the Liu residence, now finally has hope for a new life, and all of this is thanks to Wei Tingyu!

At this moment, the little maid Yulu felt no less grateful to Wei Tingyu than He Weifang did!

"You've loved this rose-flavored steamed cake since you were little, hurry up and have a couple!" He Weifang said with a smile as she and Yu Lu stepped onto a wooden bridge in front of them, adding, "So you'll have the energy to help sabotage the Liu family's business later!"

"Let's eat together after we finish our business!" Yu Lu smiled, then asked, "By the way, Miss, why didn't the Marquis send anyone to protect you today?"

"The Marquis didn't send anyone to follow..." He Weifang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

Her eyes turned to a distant place behind her, where a young nobleman wearing a jade fox mask was leisurely following behind her, fanning himself with a fan...

Chapter 71 He Weifang in Danger! Hero Saves the Beauty!

The Marquis didn't send anyone; he came himself!

Although he repeatedly assured him that he was only there to retrieve the shops under his name and that there would be no danger, the Marquis was still worried!

This pampering made He Weifang feel both a little pressured and incredibly sweet!

"Peony!" However, before she could tell Yulu that the Marquis was following behind her, she suddenly heard a loud shout!

It was obvious that someone in the crowd was shouting their name!

He Weifang knew without turning around that the voice belonged to her disgusting father-in-law, Liu Shen.

Thinking of this, her expression suddenly changed, and she realized that the Marquis had indeed been right.

That old bastard from the Liu family is truly shameless; he actually had the nerve to come and intercept me.

However, He Weifang felt no fear at all, after all, she knew that Wei Tingyu was watching her from not far away.

So, faced with the shouts of her father-in-law, who had long oppressed her, she simply pretended not to hear and pulled Yulu along as they continued walking forward.

But Liu Shen, that old fellow, was surprisingly nimble. He and his two henchmen darted to He Weifang in a few steps and stopped her.

The two sides stood facing each other at the top of the wooden bridge, one on the left and one on the right.

At this moment, He Weifang, who was clearly confident, smiled first. However, she did not bow deeply to Liu Shen, but simply nodded slightly and said, "Father, what brings you here?"

Of course, everyone is well aware of the current situation.

Especially since, although Peony still respectfully calls Liu Shen "father" at this moment, the contempt and disdain in her eyes are undisguised!

Liu Shen was taken aback, then frowned.

After all, although He Weifang had managed to curry favor with Marquis Wei, she was still nominally his daughter-in-law. How could she be so disrespectful?

However, he also knew that the most important thing right now was not to seize on He Weifang's minor mistake, but to stop her from ruining today's shop sale business.

"I was about to ask you that!" With that thought, Liu Shen put his hands behind his back, adopting a condescending attitude, and said, "Why aren't you at home cultivating your character? What are you doing here?"

Because He Weifang's disdainful gaze made Liu Shen feel uncomfortable all over, his tone was quite stern.

Ha ha!

However, He Weifang only sneered inwardly when she saw the other party's attitude.

What kind of time is this? Who are you trying to impress with this attitude of a father-in-law or elder?

“My mother told me to help my husband with his official career!” He Weifang said immediately, her mind racing. “I also have two shops in my dowry!”

As He Weifang spoke, she kept her eyes on Liu Shen's eyes. Sure enough, when she mentioned the two shops, the other party's eyes visibly evaded hers, looking completely guilty.

"I thought I'd come and take a look today."

"Perhaps we can free up some funds!"

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, He Weifang decided to drop the pretense and openly stated that she had come to see the two shops.

Liu Shen is now in a completely awkward situation! They're currently discussing the price of the shop!

If we let He Weifang go now, what will happen?

Not to mention that the business deal she was in hand was ruined, if she makes a big fuss, the Liu family will become a laughing stock in the entire capital!

"I've already taken care of this matter, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself!" Liu Shen said quickly.

Finally, he emphasized in a thick accent, "Go back inside!"

However, He Weifang was definitely not going back at this time, and she quickly found another excuse.

"If we need to make ends meet in the future, we'll definitely need these two shops!"

"Father, you don't need to be so polite!"

After finishing her speech, He Weifang ignored Liu Shen, who was still standing beside her looking completely bewildered, and turned to continue towards the shop.

Liu Shen hadn't expected that He Weifang would be so completely different from her previous submissive self. Not only did she verbally defy him, but she also ignored him standing in front of her, trying to just walk away!

In his haste, he quickly ran a few more steps and blocked He Weifang's path again, revealing a fierce look on his face.

"I said no, and that means no!"

"If you don't want to come back safely, I've had someone take you back!"

Without waiting for He Weifang's response, Liu Shen waved his hand, and the two lackeys behind him immediately stepped forward, making a move to drag He Weifang away.

At that moment, Yu Lu suddenly stepped forward and shielded her mistress behind her, raising her head and saying firmly, "My mistress is going to see her dowry! Why can't you let her?!"

Liu Shen knew he was in the wrong, and with a large crowd already gathered around watching the spectacle, his face immediately darkened.

"You insolent servant! Who gave you the right to speak!" He glared at Yu Lu and reprimanded her.

Yu Lu was, after all, a servant, and was immediately frightened by being reprimanded by her master.

However, she still bravely stood in front of He Weifang, refusing to back down or give way.

"Is Father trying to hide something by blocking us like this?" Of course, He Weifang was confident at this moment. In her opinion, with so many people coming and going on the bridge, Liu Shen would not really disregard the Liu family's reputation and resort to violence against her!

Besides, Marquis Wei Tingyu is watching from behind! He's not afraid of getting rough if necessary!

At this moment, He Weifang truly understood how reassuring it is for a woman to have a pillar of support in her heart!

"A woman's gentleness and obedience are the right path!" Liu Shen's expression changed immediately when he heard He Weifang ask him a question. He then changed the subject, saying, "Whatever the husband's family says goes. How can you ask such a question?"

“It’s not that Mudan wants to disobey her husband’s family!” He Weifang replied speechlessly, seeing that Liu Shen was so shameless that he still refused to tell the truth even in this situation, “It’s just that it concerns the dowry, so I have no choice but to go!”

After saying this, He Weifang no longer cared whether Liu Shen was willing or not. In her opinion, it was only natural for her to go and see her dowry shop. So she strode away.

"Stop the young mistress!" Liu Shen was immediately alarmed upon seeing the situation and quickly ordered his two servants.

However, at this moment, Yu Lu suddenly burst forth with immense courage, grabbing the clothes of the two young men tightly and refusing to let go, while shouting loudly, "Wife, run! I'll hold them off here!"

……

At this moment, Wei Tingyu had moved to the edge of the bridge. He had clearly seen Liu Shen's appearance and the scene of him confronting He Weifang and her servant on the bridge.

Just like in the drama, it wasn't so easy for He Weifang to simply go to the shop that was part of her dowry and get back the dowry that originally belonged to her!

Even her closest friend, Yulu, who was like a sister to her, tragically died in this conflict!

Of course, with Wei Tingyu present, he would not allow He Weifang to experience such a huge psychological blow!

However, just as he was about to teach Liu Shen and those two bastards a lesson, he unexpectedly discovered that something seemed a little off!

Because what happened next was slightly different from what he had seen in the story.

When Liu Shen saw that his two young servants were firmly held by Yu Lu, he actually ran forward and tried to grab He Weifang himself!

He Weifang was running away, holding up her skirt, when she turned around and saw Liu Shen's big hands reaching for her. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Nominally speaking, Liu Shen's own father-in-law!

The two sides should have maintained a respectful distance in their conversation, but in front of everyone, this old man disregarded propriety and shame, and tried to grab his own daughter-in-law with his bare hands.

Terrified, He Weifang didn't notice the step under her feet and missed a step, causing her to fall to the left.

At this moment, because she was right next to the edge of the wooden bridge, the height of the railing was not enough to stop her!

"Ah!" He Weifang was startled, but her body was still out of her control. She tumbled over the railing and fell straight into the river.
