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

Liu's mother was furious and blamed everything that had happened in the house on He Weifang, since it certainly had nothing to do with her precious son.

"Are you crazy? How can you say such nonsense?" Upon hearing his wife's words, Liu Shen, a power-hungry official, quickly reached out and covered her mouth.

Everyone knew that their daughter-in-law had been staying at the Marquis of Jining's courtyard for the past few nights, but no one could say it outright.

"Now that things have come to this, we can't compete with the Marquis of Jining for her!" Liu Shen thought for a moment and said, "However, we can't have a divorce!"

"We need to send her away, but we must find a way to keep that whole warehouse of dowry!"

"It's needed for both bribing officials and managing family affairs!"

"I think we should find a way to divorce him!"

Liu Shen had already thought this through very thoroughly. He really couldn't bear to part with the gold and jade antiques that He Weifang had brought. The thought of returning them to the He family made his heart bleed.

"Divorced?" Liu's mother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "How will we explain this to the Marquis of Jining? Will he have to marry a discarded woman in the future?"

"Besides! Divorcing a wife wouldn't be good for the Liu family's reputation either. What about Zishu and the county princess's future..."

"Alright, alright, still dreaming!" Liu Shen frowned immediately upon hearing this and shouted angrily at his wife, "Haven't you realized? The county magistrate is involved in this whole scheme!"

"There is absolutely no possibility between her and Zishu!"

"If we continue to pester the county princess like this, and Prince Ning blames us, no one can protect the Liu family!"

After hearing what her husband said, Liu's mother nodded in agreement. Indeed, the master of the house was very insightful.

But how easy is it to divorce He Weifang? What excuse can they possibly give?

Cheating and having affairs are one thing, but what's worse, the person they cheated with was Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining! Would they dare say that?

For a moment, the two fell silent. Although they wanted to think of a solution, it seemed like a dead end no matter how they looked at it!

……

Meanwhile, in Wei Tingyu's courtyard, the atmosphere was lively, with everyone happily drinking and chatting.

"Congratulations, Sister He! You'll soon be free from this hellhole of the Liu family!" Miao Ansu personally poured He Weifang a glass of wine and congratulated her.

"Thank you, Sister Miao!" He Weifang was so excited that she drank a few more cups. Her face was flushed, and she looked like a porcelain doll, which was very cute.

"Have you heard? Ever since Liu Chang was caught in the act at Shuiyu Pavilion at noon, he's been locked in his room and refuses to come out!" Zhao Zhangru, always eager for a good show, said gleefully.

“Of course!” Dou Zhao smiled and replied, “If I were him, I’d be too ashamed to face anyone right now, and hanging myself would be the only option for me!”

"Hmph!" Upon hearing about Liu Chang's current situation, He Weifang showed no pity whatsoever. Instead, she snorted coldly and said, "This Liu Chang always considers himself a refined scholar, so high and mighty! Yet, after this incident, he doesn't even have the courage to prove his innocence with his life. He's truly used to putting on an act!"

"My lord!" Just then, Yu Lu cautiously stepped forward and bowed to Wei Tingyu, saying, "The county princess's maid has come to tell you that she will be leaving Dongdu early tomorrow morning to return to the capital. She would like to invite you over for a chat..."

After speaking, Yu Lu did not leave, but looked at Wei Tingyu nervously, wanting to know how he would decide.

From Yu Lu's perspective, the current Princess Ji'an is her young lady's biggest rival in love! Would the Marquis abandon his young lady and turn to talk to the Princess instead?

Her heart was pounding like a drum.

Of course, Yu Lu wasn't the only one with this idea; He Weifang was also slightly nervous.

Now that today's events are over, it's practically a done deal that she'll be extricated from the Liu family!

All we need to do now is wait a few days! The county princess's desire to send Wei Tingyu away at this time is clearly an attempt to assert her own presence!

"It's already late, so I won't bother the county princess any longer!" However, Wei Tingyu thought for a moment and then made a decision: "Just tell her that I will personally see her off first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" After receiving Wei Tingyu's answer, Yulu turned around and left happily, completely satisfied! Watching her back, one could only feel that this girl walked with such light steps, as if she were about to jump up!

Of course, facing the unanimous gazes of Dou Zhao and the other three women, Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, but he knew exactly what was going on in his mind.

After all, his children were his true wives and concubines. Although the county princess also had feelings for him, their status was not yet determined.

How can someone abandon their four wives at home to be with other women?

……

"Did he really say that?" In the county princess's courtyard, she had already prepared several side dishes and warmed a pot of wine, waiting for Wei Tingyu's arrival. However, upon hearing the maid's reply, her face immediately turned angry.

After all, she had helped a lot today! And Wei Tingyu actually refused such a simple request as to come over and chat with her, which was really too much!

Could it be that this guy is planning to discard the useful tool after it has served its purpose?

As for Wei Tingyu's excuses, such as it being too late to bother him, Li Youzhen definitely didn't believe a single word of it!

Is Wei Tingyu such a law-abiding person? If so, how did Liu's daughter-in-law, He Weifang, end up living in your courtyard?

You even steal from the young wives and concubines of officials; the word "rules" means absolutely nothing to you!

"However, the Marquis also said that he will personally see the county magistrate off when he sets off tomorrow!" The maid then said Wei Tingyu's last sentence, which made Li Youzhen, who was about to throw her chopsticks in anger, freeze in mid-air.

"At least he has some conscience!" This was a great comfort to Li Youzhen.

Moreover, if he really does personally see her off tomorrow, it will be considered a response to her feelings, and then today's efforts will not have been in vain.

"Quickly find my best clothes and jewelry!" Thinking of this, Li Youzhen stopped eating and drinking, and quickly stood up and said to the maids on either side of her.

"Princess, is it really necessary to dress up so formally at this hour?" The maid was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

“Who said we should wear it now? Take it out and prepare it in advance, so we don’t get flustered tomorrow and can’t find it.” Li Youzhen shook her head and then said with a determined expression, “Tomorrow morning I will make sure that Marquis Wei can’t take his eyes off me!”

Alas! Women caught in the throes of love!

Her maid was speechless upon hearing this, but she could only follow her mistress's orders and quickly search for clothes and jewelry.

……

Early the next morning, the long street in front of Liu's residence was already filled with the county magistrate's long entourage.

When the Lady of Ji'an, dressed in her finest attire, stepped out of the gate, she immediately spotted Wei Tingyu standing there.

Of course, Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, Zhao Zhangru, and He Weifang stood quietly behind him.

Liu Shen and his wife stood on the other side, their heads bowed, not daring to look at Li Youzhen.

As for Liu Chang, he was probably too ashamed to show up, so he was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

On this occasion, Princess Li Youzhen put on a very high-handed act, walking out of the door with her head held high and heading straight for the carriage.

However, as she passed by Wei Tingyu, she surprisingly reached out and gently took his large hand.

This scene immediately caused everyone present to lower their eyes and not dare to look directly at it!

Since the young lady was being so proactive, Wei Tingyu, a grown man, naturally wouldn't be coy! Seeing this, he simply took the county princess's hand generously and led her all the way to the front of the carriage.

The county princess was delighted to receive Wei Tingyu's proactive response! However, she slowly turned around in front of the carriage to look at Wei Tingyu, staring at him for a long time before finally speaking leisurely: "Lord Marquis, are you really not going back to the capital with me?"

"Princess, I haven't finished my business here yet!" Wei Tingyu said with a faint smile, "How about I visit you again after I return to the capital so we can have a drink and catch up?"

Li Youzhen was taken aback, then tilted her head slightly, her gaze passing over Wei Tingyu's shoulder and looking directly at Dou Zhao and the other four women standing behind her.

Especially He Weifang! Because she knew that the unresolved matter Wei Tingyu mentioned was referring to her!

“In that case, I will await Your Excellency’s arrival at the Prince of Ning’s residence!” Princess Ji’an blinked, then looked away before speaking.

"Please, Princess!" Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, then reached out to help Li Youzhen into the carriage.

Chapter 78 The County Princess's Betrothal Gifts! He Weifang Inspects Her Dowry!

A young man in black who had been following the carriage ran over without saying a word and lay down on the ground to serve as a human stool so that the county princess could step on his back to get into the carriage.

However, this was still hard for Wei Tingyu to accept!

Li Youzhen seemed to remember something as well. She glanced at Wei Tingyu and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed. She immediately waved her hand.

"You may leave! I don't need a stool anymore!" Li Youzhen directly instructed the maid beside her, "From now on, just prepare a wooden stool in my carriage for me to get in and out of!"

"Yes!" The maid was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wei Tingyu and understood why the county princess had suddenly changed her mind.

However, as a servant herself, she was naturally very happy about the county princess's change, and her gratitude towards Wei Tingyu deepened even more!

"But today..." Although she was grateful, the maid also considered a very practical problem: how would the county princess get on the carriage today?

Lee Yoo-jin clearly hadn't expected this, and she froze on the spot.

Previously, her servants had always served as her human stool, so there were no wooden stools prepared in the carriage.

Right now, we could ask the Liu family for one, but if a county princess were to take a stool from the Liu family before leaving, wouldn't that become a laughing stock?

Moreover, Li Youzhen now loathes the entire Liu family and instinctively doesn't want to take anything from them.

However, just as Li Youzhen was wondering whether to send her servant to buy a wooden stool nearby, she suddenly felt her body lighten, as if she were flying.

Immediately afterward, the world went dizzy, and Li Youzhen was startled!

After calming down, she realized that she was being held in Wei Tingyu's arms!

In front of everyone, he just held her like that, then took two steps to the carriage and gently placed her on it!

"My Lord!" Even the usually bold Li Youzhen blushed with embarrassment. She glanced around instinctively and saw that everyone was looking down, but she knew in her heart that they were all just pretending.

Their current trembling appearance clearly shows that they just witnessed Wei Tingyu picking them up.

So what does this mean? And what is my relationship with him?

"What will happen to my reputation if you do this?" The county princess blushed and glanced at Wei Tingyu before her, then said, "Although I am a newly deceased widow, I am not so casual!"

"I know!" Wei Tingyu smiled slightly and said, "But doesn't this save the county princess a lot of trouble?"
