At this moment, Fu Hui was utterly stunned. She had no idea what was in that jar of medicine, so she quickly winked at Chai An, hoping he would speak up and stop it.
"Cough, cough..." Chai An and Fan Lianghan had always been birds of a feather; naturally, he had to show loyalty now! However, he couldn't directly intervene, so he could only cough twice to get Fu Hui's attention!
Fu Hui shot Chai An a speechless glance, then forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Cousin Chai, this medicine is a cure-all!" At the same time, she felt quite exasperated. If it weren't to teach Fan Lianghan a lesson today, she wouldn't bother with Chai An at all!
"I've never heard of a medicine that cures all ailments. Is this medicine truly effective?" Chai An was taken aback by Fu Hui's words. It was clear she genuinely intended for Fan Lianghan to forcibly swallow this jar of unknown liquid. And since he was an outsider after all, Chai An could only helplessly glance at the nervous Fan Lianghan, then stood by without speaking further.
I already knew this guy only liked to show off, Fu Hui thought with even more disdain after seeing his performance, but she still turned and nodded to the two maids. The two maids saw that even Chai An couldn't stop the young mistress, so they could only steel themselves and take the jar of broth, then spoon by spoon, poured it into Fan Lianghan's mouth. After two spoonfuls, Fan Lianghan felt an unbearable bitterness in his mouth and even involuntarily spat it out. He even sprayed some on Chai An, who was standing a few steps away!
Seeing this, Fu Hui, who was already standing several paces away, merely found it amusing. At the same time, she was grateful that Wei Tingyu had reminded her earlier to stand further back. She hadn't expected the Marquis to consider even such details for her!
"This... what is this taste?" After spitting out the liquid in his mouth, Fan Lianghan still found the taste unbearable. He stared blankly at Fu Hui and asked.
"Husband! This is a folk remedy!" Fu Hui naturally wouldn't approach Fan Lianghan another step at this moment. She stretched her fair neck from afar, looking at him, and said, "Boy's urine! It's specifically for treating fever and headaches, and it's excellent for reducing internal heat! Just bear with it!"
As soon as Fu Hui's words fell, not only did Fan Lianghan, who was lying on the bed, look dazed, but even Chai An, standing beside him, anxiously pulled out his handkerchief and frantically wiped his face. After all, he had just been sprayed by Fan Lianghan, and now he felt utterly disgusted!
"Hurry up and continue serving Master his medicine!" Fu Hui loudly reprimanded the two equally bewildered maids. The two maids, seeing that things had come to this, and that even Chai An couldn't stop Fu Hui now, could only brace themselves and continue prying open Fan Lianghan's mouth, pouring the boy's urine down his throat. Of course, Fan Lianghan was certainly unwilling to surrender so easily now. Since he knew it was boy's urine, he immediately struggled.
"Husband doesn't want to drink the medicine? Could it be that this headache and fever are feigned?" Fu Hui sneered at the sight, glaring at Fan Lianghan and asking.
"I..." Fan Lianghan was startled, but at this moment, he was caught between a rock and a hard place! After much thought, he decided it was better to admit to feigning illness than to actually drink that entire jar of boy's urine! Thinking of this, Fan Lianghan immediately tried to get up. After all, as an adult young master, if he was unwilling, those two maids certainly couldn't hold him down. However, Wei Tingyu, watching all this from outside, naturally wouldn't let him have his way so easily. He simply pointed his finger through the air, and a burst of internal energy shot from his fingertip, directly pinning Fan Lianghan back to the bed!
Fu Hui had initially felt a surge of panic when she saw Fan Lianghan seemingly trying to get up. But then she saw him suddenly lie still again, with only his mouth able to groan, and she finally relaxed. At the same time, she understood that the Marquis had secretly intervened again! Indeed, she needed the Marquis to escort her and protect her when doing something like this!
Wei Tingyu also breathed a sigh of relief as his earlier prediction indeed came true. In the original plot, that fellow Fan Lianghan had actually obediently lain there, allowing Fu Hui and the maids to pour that pot of boy's urine down his throat! But as a viewer at the time, Wei Tingyu couldn't for the life of him understand the logic behind it. No matter how much Fan Lianghan feared his wife, he couldn't possibly willingly lie there and allow himself to be humiliated like that. Indeed, after he arrived in the world of the story, the characters' actions and logic here conformed to common sense! It seems one cannot rely too much on past experience! Some plot developments might not change, but if he weren't present in certain details, they probably wouldn't have unfolded as they did in the original plot.
Seeing that the affairs in the room were mostly done, the pressure points he had struck on Fan Lianghan would automatically release after a quarter of an hour. Therefore, Wei Tingyu had no reason to stay here any longer and thought of simply turning to leave. However, Fu Hui, inside the room, seemed to have a telepathic connection with Wei Tingyu. She suddenly shuddered, and a thought flashed through her mind. Earlier, the Marquis said he would help me deal with that fellow Fan Lianghan. Now that the matter is mostly concluded, and I've vented most of my anger! Will the Marquis simply withdraw and leave now that his task is done? The mere thought of this possibility made Fu Hui's little heart immediately tense.
"Quick! Pour all the medicine down Master's throat! Not a single drop must be left!" Thinking of this, Fu Hui immediately ordered the two maids, then gave her own maid a look, instructing her to stay here and watch this scene unfold. Then, ignoring everyone else, she turned and scurried out, holding her skirt.
And indeed, as soon as Fu Hui stepped out of the room, she found that the spot where Wei Tingyu had been was now empty. This time, Fu Hui was truly flustered. At this point, she already harbored a strong affection for Wei Tingyu! If they were to simply return to their respective male and female guest sections like this, who knew when they would next have a moment alone? Thinking of this, her small face flushed with anxiety. She quickly chased in the direction they had come from! Indeed, as she entered the garden where they had held hands and talked earlier, she saw that captivating figure from behind again.
"Marquis!" At this moment, Fu Hui largely disregarded whether she might attract the attention of others and immediately called out to Wei Tingyu's back.
"Where did Second Sister's mother-in-law take her? Why can't I find her anywhere?" At this moment, Third Daughter Kang Ning of the Li family was looking around the nearby courtyard, searching. Although Lady Li Niang was certain that her second daughter wouldn't encounter any trouble in the Fan family residence, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease and thus sent her third daughter, Kang Ning, specifically to look for her. Lady Li Niang's intention was clear: if Fu Hui's mother-in-law had indeed given her some difficult task, then she and the other daughters might have to lend a hand!
Third Daughter Kang Ning, having received her mother's orders, indeed circled the Fan Residence's courtyard, eventually arriving here. From afar, she also saw Wei Tingyu's approaching figure. For this Marquis, who had shown kindness to her family, Kang Ning, though not as admiring as her other sisters, was still quite grateful. So, she intended to step forward and greet him. And, of course, she also wanted to ask him if he had seen her Second Sister Fu Hui.
However, to Kang Ning's surprise, just as she was about to wave to get Wei Tingyu's attention, she suddenly heard Second Sister's voice from behind him. But at this moment, Kang Ning's expression suddenly changed, because with her keen intellect, she immediately heard that Second Sister's voice was off! Especially that one call of "Marquis," which carried a hint of shyness amidst its urgency! What's going on? Kang Ning was startled, then instinctively sidestepped and hid among the nearby flower bushes. A woman's intuition told her that something seemed to be going on between Second Sister and the Marquis! It was best if she didn't appear at this moment! Of course, while Kang Ning didn't want to be discovered, she couldn't resist her curiosity and obsession, so her bright eyes still secretly watched Wei Tingyu's direction through the gaps in the flowers.
Wei Tingyu had, of course, noticed Kang Ning approaching from afar, but he hadn't had time to greet her before this young woman, Fu Hui, caught up from behind! Seeing Kang Ning quickly hide in the flower bushes, Wei Tingyu was simply speechless! These Li family sisters were truly interesting! Was this younger sister so interested in her older sister's gossip? Not only did she want to watch, but she had to watch secretly? However, for Wei Tingyu, there was nothing he was ashamed of or dared not let Kang Ning know! So, he simply stopped, waiting for Fu Hui to catch up to him.
Fu Hui had initially cried out anxiously upon seeing Wei Tingyu's back from afar, but then she also realized that in the Fan family residence, such an open display was not a good thing! Fortunately, Wei Tingyu had heard her call, so he immediately stopped. This made Fu Hui feel a surge of relief, as well as a hint of sweetness. Indeed, the Marquis still had a small place for her in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped and waited for her! Thinking of this, Fu Hui, holding her skirt, ran even faster! By the time she reached Wei Tingyu, her small face was flushed from nervousness and excitement!
"Does Lady Fu Hui have anything else she needs my help with?" Wei Tingyu, of course, understood the principle of playing hard to get. With a young woman like Fu Hui, if he directly approached her to fawn, it might backfire and make her retreat far away. Giving her a sweet taste and then maintaining a certain distance would surely cause her uncontrollable emotions to erupt! Looking at Fu Hui's appearance now, Wei Tingyu knew his strategy was flawless.
"Marquis, why did you think of leaving without a word?!" Fu Hui was startled upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, then shyly lowered her gaze and asked, "Could it be that you no longer wish to speak with me?" Good heavens! Her words really carried a hint of self-pity! Wei Tingyu immediately felt helpless upon hearing Fu Hui's words. It was clear that this young woman felt a bit inferior at the moment! But it was also understandable; after all, for her, a married young woman, to actively approach the Marquis required immense courage.
At this moment, Third Daughter Kang Ning, hiding in the flower bushes, watched this scene from afar through the gaps. Although she couldn't hear their conversation, her heart tensed. After all, this was a private meeting between an outside man and a married woman in the courtyard! This scene alone was explosive to imagine! If others saw it, it would be disastrous! And most importantly, Fu Hui's current shy and somewhat anxious expression was also very clear to Kang Ning. Knowing her Second Sister so well, she was certain that her Second Sister was truly in love at this moment! Of course, the object of this affection was not Second Sister's husband, Fan Lianghan, but Marquis Jining, Wei Tingyu!
"Lady Fu Hui, what are you saying?" Wei Tingyu immediately laughed at Fu Hui's pitiful, aggrieved appearance before him at this moment, shaking his head.
"Then if the Marquis wishes to leave, why didn't you even say goodbye to me?" Fu Hui felt much more at ease upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words. It seemed she hadn't been disliked by the Marquis!
"I simply felt that given the relationship between you and me, there was no need to be so formal!" Wei Tingyu naturally spoke flirtatious words effortlessly, especially when trying to win over a cloistered young woman like Fu Hui who had never experienced romance; it was absolutely a piece of cake. Indeed, as soon as he spoke, Fu Hui's small face flushed again, and her hands even involuntarily twisted her perfumed handkerchief together. This scene made Kang Ning, hiding in the distant flower bushes, utterly dumbfounded. Good heavens! When had Second Sister Fu Hui ever shown such a shy, demure feminine side? Was this still the fierce woman who was quite famous in the Fan family circles? Indeed! Whether a woman is fierce or not ultimately depends on what kind of man she finds! Even a true tigress, if she met Wu Song, wouldn't she also obediently turn into a little tabby cat?
"However, this is the Fan Residence after all, and it's always best if certain things aren't seen by outsiders!" Wei Tingyu smiled upon seeing Fu Hui's flustered and adorable appearance. As he spoke, he reached out and once again took her soft hand. And Fu Hui, besides her face flushing even redder, had no intention of dodging, letting him take her fair hand. After all, Wei Tingyu's words just now clearly implied he considered her one of his own! This simple promise alone was enough to make Fu Hui's heart bloom with joy, unable to subside for a long time.
"Then, Marquis... aren't you afraid of outsiders seeing you holding my hand?" After a short while, as her emotions gradually calmed, Fu Hui blinked and bravely looked up at Wei Tingyu, saying directly, "You were just saying so."
"There were many people in that room just now, and I wasn't willing to take that risk!" Wei Tingyu knew that although Fu Hui was shy at this moment, she was certainly quite uneasy. After all, as the Fan family's daughter-in-law, she was genuinely afraid of being caught in this scene. "However, there are absolutely no other outsiders nearby now. This Marquis has excellent hearing and will not be mistaken!" So, Wei Tingyu also immediately put Fu Hui's mind at ease. Of course, he wasn't lying to her, because Kang Ning was Fu Hui's biological sister, and she certainly wouldn't tell anyone about this matter. Moreover, she truly couldn't be considered an outsider!
At this moment, Fu Hui was utterly devoted to Wei Tingyu. Upon hearing his words, she had not a single doubt, and her eyes immediately lit up. In other words, there was no one else nearby; it was just her and the Marquis alone! This truly fulfilled her heart's desire!
"Then, Marquis... how will you arrange things for me in the future?" Fu Hui asked quickly, thinking of this. After all, given their current intimacy, it would be difficult to end things without marriage! Moreover, Fu Hui's heart was already devoted to Wei Tingyu. If she were to know that there was no hope for a marriage with this Marquis in this life, she would even wish to die!
Wei Tingyu saw the young woman's expression and immediately knew that it was indeed difficult to repay a beauty's kindness; he certainly couldn't just steal a taste without taking responsibility!
"Don't worry, Lady Fu Hui!" Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, even moving his fingers to intertwine with hers, and said, "It's not convenient for you to return with me just yet, but soon I will certainly arrange for your divorce from the Fan family!"
"Thank you, Marquis!" Fu Hui's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Wei Tingyu's promise. Leaving aside the matter of entering the Marquis's Residence in the future, just the prospect of escaping the fiery pit that was the Fan family was already tantamount to being granted a new life for Fu Hui! Of course, she would not doubt a single punctuation mark of Wei Tingyu's words now!
Wei Tingyu saw her loyal, puppy-like gaze, so adoring and admiring, and his desire to protect her immediately surged. He pulled Fu Hui's hand slightly forward, and the beautiful woman leaned into his embrace. Then, against the backdrop of her flushed cheeks and under his burning gaze, Wei Tingyu slowly lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead. As a fragrance wafted into his nose, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but sigh! Indeed, the ancients were right: a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair! It truly made sense. Not to mention the immense attraction of Fu Hui, this foxy young woman, to a normal man; just her status as a married woman added a few more layers of thrilling excitement!
