The maidservant next to her was speechless when she saw this scene. She probably didn't even realize that she was just like a young girl who had just opened her heart and was about to see her lover.

The county princess, sitting upright, naturally wouldn't stare directly at Wei Tingyu's figure. Instead, she looked unnaturally straight ahead, secretly observing his movements out of the corner of her eye.

As she realized the other person was getting closer and closer, her heart started pounding faster.

"Lord Marquis!" Just as Wei Tingyu walked to the county princess's side and was about to sit down, the county princess's maidservant took the initiative to stand up, bow, and greet him.

At this moment, the Princess of Ji'an was finally relieved. Sure enough, Wei Tingyu had come to find her!

However, the act still had to be performed. Princess Ji'an gave a look as if she had only noticed something after being reminded. She glanced at Wei Tingyu, then moved her lips but did not speak.

It's not that she doesn't want to talk, but that she simply doesn't know what to say!

She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would reveal her long-held wish that Wei Tingyu would come and keep her company.

When Wei Tingyu saw that the other person's face was so tense, and his eyes were flashing with nervousness, he immediately understood.

Alas! It's all my fault for being too charming! Even Princess Li Youzhen of Ji'an County fell for me so inexplicably!

However, to be fair, Wei Tingyu didn't actually make any advances towards the Princess of Ji'an! It was entirely the girl's curiosity that drove her to fall head over heels in love with him! He really couldn't be blamed for that!

Out of the corner of her eye, the county princess saw that Wei Tingyu's gaze was full of mockery, as if he knew everything she was thinking. She immediately panicked.

Thinking of this, she quickly gave the maid a look, asking her what to do.

However, the maid was also anxious. She had never been in love before, so how would she know what to do in this situation?

He could only pretend not to see the county princess's look and got up to pour Wei Tingyu a cup of wine.

"Princess!" Seeing the amusing interaction between the master and servant, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but laugh and raised his wine cup to toast Li Youzhen.

Seeing Wei Tingyu toast her, Princess Li Youzhen was overjoyed. It seemed that she still held a place in his heart!

After all, this was the first time in the past few days that she had seen Wei Tingyu take the initiative to toast someone!

Of course, given Wei Tingyu's personality, it certainly wouldn't be because of her status as a county princess; it must be because of her as a person.

Thinking of this, Li Youzhen quickly raised her wine glass and clinked it slightly with Wei Tingyu's. Then the two of them drank their wine at the same time.

"Princess, please don't be sad!" Wei Tingyu said to Li Youzhen after putting down his wine cup. "I didn't come when you went boating on the lake outside the city yesterday because I was afraid you would be criticized!"

"As for why the young master of the Liu family didn't go either, it must be because he was busy with affairs of the Liu family and couldn't get away as the only son. It wasn't that he deliberately neglected him!"

Princess Li Youzhen was taken aback when she heard Wei Tingyu's words, but then she felt a little happy.

Although she knew that Wei Tingyu's claim of being afraid of being criticized was complete nonsense! After all, she was a widow, and her reputation was already not good enough, so what was there to be afraid of?!

Wei Tingyu didn't come yesterday; he clearly went to help He Weifang get those two shops that were part of her dowry, and it wasn't for his own reputation at all.

Even though she knew Wei Tingyu was just trying to comfort her, Li Youzhen still felt very comfortable.

After all, the fact that he was willing to come and explain himself meant that he held a place in his heart!

Knowing just this much was enough for Li Youzhen! At least the drink she just had with him wasn't in vain!

Of course, she hardly cared why Liu Chang didn't go at this point!

Even before Wei Tingyu brought it up, he hadn't thought about Liu Chang's matter.

"I don't care what Zishu thinks! Whether he goes or not makes no difference to me!" Li Youzhen said directly, and at the same time turned to look at Wei Tingyu. This should be the bravest attempt she has ever made for her love.

Wei Tingyu was somewhat bewildered upon seeing this.

Good heavens! Is she admitting to herself that Liu Chang has no place in her heart at all?

But looking at it this way, Liu Chang really has it tough!

He had already taken his lawfully wedded wife to bed, and the white moonlight he had longed for for years had fallen for someone else in this short period of time!

However, Wei Tingyu felt no remorse whatsoever towards Liu Chang! After all, it was good that this self-righteous jerk was living a miserable life; otherwise, it would be God's fault for being blind!

"The county princess made a special detour to Luoyang on her way back to the capital for the sake of the Liu family's young master. How come she doesn't care about him now?" Wei Tingyu chuckled after hearing Li Youzhen's words and then asked in return.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Li Youzhen's face immediately turned serious. She did find Wei Tingyu's question a bit strange.

She did come to Dongdu specifically to rekindle her romance with Liu Chang.

Unexpectedly, she has now fallen completely in love with Wei Tingyu, but the reason she came here in the first place has now become a reason that she finds difficult to talk about.

Especially Wei Tingyu, who always brings up the most sensitive topics, clearly trying to embarrass himself.

Thinking of this, Li Youzhen took a heavy breath, then glanced at Wei Tingyu beside her with a slightly coquettish tone and said, "Lord Marquis, you're pretending to be ignorant! Do you think you don't know what I'm thinking?!"

When Li Youzhen said this, not only Wei Tingyu, but even the maid beside her was stunned.

This is practically the same as a direct confession of love!

And most importantly, the Princess of Ji'an lowered her status directly in front of the Marquis of Jining, addressing him as "Lord Marquis"?!

You should know that Li Youzhen used to address Wei Tingyu as Marquis Wei when they met before!

Although the titles "Wei Hou" and "Hou Ye" differ by only one character, their meanings are worlds apart.

Marquis Wei basically represents the equality between you and me; we are both people with titles, and neither of us can suppress the other.

The Marquis, on the other hand, placed himself below the other's status and position, looking up at him with a reverent attitude.

By changing her form of address, Li Youzhen was clearly showing Wei Tingyu her submissive side as a woman!

If the two of them can really get married in the future, she will definitely respect her husband and treat him as her heaven, and she will never put on airs as a county princess in front of him!

"I am truly flattered by what you say, County Princess!" Wei Tingyu chuckled, knowing that he had to say some polite words anyway.

Li Youzhen naturally sensed the perfunctory tone in the other person's words, and at the same time, she was a little angry. She had already lowered herself so much, and you still wouldn't give me a promise?

However, when her eyes fell on Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, Zhao Zhangru, and He Weifang, who were not far away, she immediately understood.

That's true! Right now, Wei Tingyu has a legal wife and a concubine, and there's also a woman whose identity is ambiguous and who's waiting in line to enter his household. He can't make any promises to himself!

I guess I really have to take the initiative!

There's nothing we can do! Who told her to treat Wei Tingyu with such special regard?

"I'm flattered?" Princess Ji'an smiled faintly, then stared into Wei Tingyu's eyes and asked, word by word, "What are you saying, Lord Marquis? You have so many women around you, do you need a few more different ones?"

"Of course, the Marquis can take his wife and concubines into his household if he likes them. But I didn't know you had a penchant for married women."

"..." Wei Tingyu felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing what Princess Li Youzhen of Ji'an said.

However, this awkwardness only lasted a second, and then he shamelessly... no! He mentally strong-willedly smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't know! There are advantages to being a married woman! You wouldn't understand the feeling!"

“I don’t understand!” Li Youzhen sighed upon hearing this. “But I am also a married woman, so why is the Marquis always so cold to me?”

Are you a married woman? You're clearly a widow!

Wei Tingyu thought to himself, but the more he looked at the pretty young widow in front of him, the more pleasing she seemed to him!

After all, Li Youzhen was originally a typical Tang Dynasty beauty, and now that she has just lost her husband, there is a faint sense of sorrow between her brows!

This even reminded Wei Tingyu of the "Widow" series of short films he had seen online before his time travel...

However, the actresses there are far inferior to Li Youzhen in front of us!

Ah! No! How could I compare the dignified Princess of Ji'an to those actresses in adult films?

Just thinking about it is a sin!

Chapter 75 The young woman and the widow teamed up?!

“But though this wife is wonderful, when the Marquis leaves the Eastern Capital, we will have to part ways!” Princess Ji’an’s eyes darted around. She had no idea what Wei Tingyu’s mind had been wandering to. Seeing that he was silent, she assumed he was embarrassed and asked directly, “Will the Marquis be willing to part with her then?”

"What does the county princess mean?" Wei Tingyu laughed immediately upon hearing this. Was Li Youzhen planning to negotiate with him?

“If I could find a way to help the Marquis return to the capital with his beauty…” The county princess’s eyes darted around before she asked, “How does the Marquis intend to repay me?”

"Understood!" Wei Tingyu nodded immediately. Li Youzhen's thoughts had finally been exposed!

Is she planning to help him win over He Weifang completely, so that he will feel grateful to her?

However, it's understandable that the county princess would have this idea, after all, He Weifang is still Liu's legally wedded daughter-in-law.

If the Liu family refuses to release him, surely I, as a marquis, can't just forcibly take him away?

That would cause an uproar in the imperial court. For the dignified Marquis of Jining to do such a thing, he would probably be stripped of his title.

The only solution is to have the Liu family voluntarily defend He Weifang.

As an outsider, Wei Tingyu undoubtedly faced difficulties in this regard, while Princess Ji'an had it much easier!

This was exactly what the Princess of Ji'an was thinking at that moment!

She looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "I share the same sentiment as the Marquis: to help you achieve your wish!"

Wow! This is the first time I've ever encountered a situation where I can pick up girls and still get help from a female benefactor!

And most importantly, Li Youzhen now likes her too, so He Weifang should be considered her rival in love! And she's actually willing to help her rival marry into her family smoothly?

I have to say, this girl's thought process is a bit unusual!

However, since she was willing to go to great lengths to help him, why shouldn't Wei Tingyu do the same? As long as he could help He Weifang successfully obtain the divorce papers, he would save himself a lot of trouble!

This also indirectly confirms that Princess Li Youzhen is essentially a complete love-obsessed person!

She'd do anything to please the man she loves!
