"Good sister! This matter... I, your elder sister, can't help you either..." Yang Yue Niang looked at Leshan's flushed, embarrassed expressi

"Good sister! This matter... I, your elder sister, can't help you either..." Yang Yue Niang looked at Leshan's flushed, embarrassed expression and teased, "Let alone me! Even the King of Heaven can't meddle in it..." Indeed, no one could interfere in what a newlywed couple did on their wedding night!

"Let's not talk about that anymore!" Leshan, who was utterly mortified by the teasing, immediately changed the subject. She looked at Yang Yue Niang and asked, "But Sister, you've returned home to visit your family today, was it truly just to ask us to supervise the Yang family?"

At these words, Wei Tingyu's ears perked up, and he looked at Yang Yue Niang in his arms, as he also had this thought. Although everything seemed plausible on the surface, he still felt deep down that this beautiful woman had something else she wanted his help with.

"My sister is clever!" Yang Yue Niang paused, looked at Wei Tingyu again, then smiled and actually sat up. Then she solemnly bowed to Wei Tingyu and said, "I truly have one more matter I'd like to ask the Marquis for help with!"

"Speak your mind!" Wei Tingyu never hesitated to respond positively to his woman's requests, so he nodded and said.

"Actually, this time I came home to visit my family, besides doing those previous things, there's also one very important matter that absolutely cannot be taken lightly!" Yang Yue Niang was overjoyed that Wei Tingyu agreed directly without even asking what it was. After all, this was enough to show Wei Tingyu's regard for her! He truly considered her one of his own, otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so readily! Of course, as soon as Yang Yue Niang spoke these words, not only Wei Tingyu but even Leshan beside her widened her eyes in curiosity. Something that could make Consort Yang so nervous and emphasize that it absolutely couldn't be taken lightly? It must be extraordinary!

"Marquis, do you know about An State and Wu State, located to the southwest of our country?" Yang Yue Niang naturally wouldn't beat around the bush, as a very important purpose for her today was to ask Wei Tingyu for help, so she spoke directly.

"An State and Wu State?" Wei Tingyu paused upon hearing this, and then the plot background of another popular female-centric drama flickered in his mind! Aren't these the two warring states from A Journey to Love? He hadn't expected that after he took in the five daughters of the Li family, the world line would extend further, and An State and Wu State had now appeared!

"I know, I know!" Before Wei Tingyu could speak, the little girl Leshan immediately raised her hand and shouted excitedly, "These two countries have been at war for years, and the people are suffering! I heard the storyteller talk about it!"

"Yes! These two countries have fought for so many years, and now there are signs of peace talks!"

"However, neither country trusts the other, so they have asked our dynasty to mediate."

"The envoys from both countries will hold peace talks in the capital!"

"The Emperor believes this is an excellent opportunity to showcase our dynasty's benevolence! So, he is preparing to order a banquet to entertain the envoys from both countries!"

"This hot potato hasn't been thrown to your Yang family, has it?" Wei Tingyu interrupted when Yang Yue Niang reached this point, asking rhetorically. After all, if it had nothing to do with the Yang family, she wouldn't need his help, would she?

"The Marquis guessed correctly!" Yang Yue Niang immediately gave a wry smile and said, "This is indeed a hot potato! An State and Wu State have been at war for so long, their envoys are bound to be at odds!"

"At the banquet, something unexpected might happen. Perhaps some people will deliberately cause trouble to disrupt the peace talks!"

"In short, whoever takes on this task will definitely put in a lot of effort for little reward!"

Yang Yue Niang nodded, sighing inwardly. It was so easy to talk to the Marquis! A wise woman like her most lacked such a confidant with whom she could communicate!

"Since it's a thankless task, why would Sister Yue Niang take it on?" Leshan, however, looked bewildered again. This young girl was completely clueless about politics.

"Do you even need to ask?" Before Yang Yue Niang could answer, Wei Tingyu reached out and patted Leshan's little head. Under her sweetly expectant gaze, he said, "Perhaps Consort Shang and the Empress strongly advocated for the Yang family to take on this matter?"

As Wei Tingyu's words fell, Consort Yang also nodded helplessly, then gave a bitter smile. This Consort Shang had flattered the old emperor. Although she, like Yang Yue Niang, was merely a shield to cover up the old emperor's illness, she was indeed the one more favored by the old emperor! Whispers in his ear always had some effect! This old emperor was also muddled, disregarding the taboo of harem interference in state affairs, and directly agreed. It was just that the official decree hadn't arrived yet, and Yang Yue Niang had left the palace a step ahead to find Wei Tingyu, hoping he could help look after the Yang family.

"So you hope I can also attend the banquet that day...?" Wei Tingyu blinked, looking at Yang Yue Niang, who was frowning with worry in his arms, and asked.

"Both An and Wu states are accustomed to using assassins!" Yang Yue Niang quickly nodded upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, "If on the day of the banquet, an assassin truly infiltrates the Yang Residence and goes on a rampage, then that would be..."

"I've thought long and hard, and only the Marquis can help me!"

"Alright!" Wei Tingyu nodded directly after hearing Yang Yue Niang's words. This was a formal agreement! In fact, as long as he knew that the plot of "A Journey to Love" was beginning to unfold, and that the envoys of An and Wu states would be feasting at the Yang Residence, even if Yang Yue Niang didn't make this request, he would find a way to attend. According to the rules of the fused world described by the system, the main characters from these female-centric dramas would actively gravitate towards him. So, the female protagonist of "A Journey to Love," Ren Ruyi, was very likely to appear at this banquet! This female assassin was not to be trifled with; it was entirely possible she could slaughter the entire Yang family! Moreover, if he could seize this opportunity to take her in, it would be a huge help for his future great endeavors!

"Thank you, Marquis!" When Yang Yue Niang heard that Wei Tingyu truly agreed, she immediately became excited. Hugging his face, she eagerly offered him kisses. Leshan, beside them, immediately became displeased. After all, this young girl's personality was competitive! She immediately mimicked Yang Yue Niang, vying for Wei Tingyu's face. Wei Tingyu, however, felt a little exasperated. The two women stamped kisses on his face from left and right, and two fragrant breezes mingled and rushed into his nostrils. This was probably the legendary feeling of pain and pleasure combined!

"What?" At this moment, Yang Xian was lying in a recliner in his courtyard, looking at the messenger boy with a bewildered and shocked expression, his eyes full of disbelief. He had originally thought that his elder sister's return visit and special invitation for Wei Tingyu to bring Leshan to the residence was definitely her way of fiercely retaliating for him, to properly deal with this Marquis Jining and Fifth Lady Li! However, he never expected the news he just got from the messenger boy: his sister had actually recognized Fifth Lady Li as her sworn sister? And granted her the authority to supervise the entire Yang family?! Although he also thought that Fifth Lady Li, living in the Marquis's backyard, wouldn't bother with the Yang family much, if they were to meet in other places in the future, he would still have to tuck his tail between his legs and bow and scrape? How could he swallow this indignity?

"Young Master, since things have come to this, I think you should..." It was clear that the messenger boy also spoke with a worried expression, advising him. In his opinion, the arm could not twist the thigh, after all. Didn't the entire Yang family rely on Consort Yang's status to enjoy this wealth? Now Consort Yang was clearly siding with Wei Tingyu and Fifth Lady Li! So the best way was to honestly tuck one's tail and behave, and not provoke these two people anymore. Closing the door and living one's own small life, eating delicacies every day, wasn't that good enough?

However, Yang Xian's thoughts were different from the messenger boy's. His mind was full of questions! He couldn't understand why his sister didn't avenge him, but instead helped Fifth Lady Li. Right! There must be something going on! Thinking this, Yang Xian immediately got up and ran towards the main hall without a word! He had to ask his sister personally; if he couldn't get an answer, Yang Xian felt he wouldn't rest in peace.

However, things were not that simple! When he arrived at the courtyard where the main hall was located, he found that he couldn't even enter the courtyard gate. Because the two female officials brought by Consort Yang were standing guard at the door with solemn expressions, saying that Consort and her sworn sister were discussing important matters, and no one was allowed to disturb them.

"Sworn sister?" Yang Xian's mouth twitched uncontrollably upon hearing this. It seemed the messenger boy's words were true! Fifth Lady Li was indeed taken as a sworn sister by his elder sister! However, if he were to give up just like that, he wouldn't be Yang Xian! He rolled his eyes and loudly shouted at the two female officials, "What about a sworn sister? I am Consort Yang's own brother! Quickly move aside!" As he spoke, he tried to push his way in. After all, in Yang Xian's opinion, what could two female officials do? If he, a grown man, insisted on forcing his way in, he didn't believe they could stop him! As for the consequences of forcing his way in, he had also thought it through clearly. Consort Yang was his own sister after all; he didn't believe she would truly punish him severely. At most, a few scoldings, and Yang Xian was naturally used to such things; he had been scolded by Yang Yue Niang countless times since he was a child!

However, what he didn't expect was that these two female officials were no ordinary people; they were the female Golden Shadow Guards sent by Wei Tingyu to Yang Yue Niang. The two didn't even move a step, directly pushing Yang Xian to the ground with a gentle palm strike! This was already showing mercy, considering he was Consort Yang's biological brother! Otherwise, if the two women had gotten serious, they could have directly shattered all of Yang Xian's internal organs with their internal force.

Yang Xian rolled several times on the ground and finally managed to steady himself. It took him half a day for his dizzy head to slowly recover. At this moment, he also understood that these two female officials were experts! Forcing his way in now was definitely out of the question... He rolled his eyes, quickly got up, and left through the courtyard gate. Of course, he hadn't given up; he knew that force wouldn't work, so he had to use cunning! This was Yang Xian's home, after all. He was very aware of the existence of a dog hole behind the main hall courtyard. At this point, he couldn't care about much else; he could only crawl through that dog hole!

His actions naturally couldn't escape the notice of the two female officials at the courtyard gate and Wei Tingyu, who had already gotten up and was enjoying the two women helping him dress. Without even looking, he knew from his senses that the person crawling through the dog hole was Yang Xian! But seeing him struggling to crawl out of the hole, almost getting stuck, he knew that Yang Xian wouldn't give up today without an explanation. Good! Let him see it with his own eyes! Anyway, he figured this kid would definitely not publicize the affair between his sister and the Marquis of Jining. Thinking this, Wei Tingyu immediately used internal energy transmission to stop the two female Golden Shadow Guards disguised as female officials, who had also discovered Yang Xian's attempt. One could say this kid was lucky, because his actions clearly angered the two female officials in front! If Wei Tingyu hadn't stopped them this time, Yang Xian, who was crawling through the dog hole, probably wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for a year or two!

Meanwhile, Yang Xian exerted all his strength to crawl out of the dog hole. He looked around, thinking no one had noticed him, and without bothering to clean the weeds from his head, he stealthily approached the side window of the main hall. Then, he gently opened a window that wasn't securely latched, creating a small crack. Throughout the process, Yang Xian's heart pounded fiercely, as he didn't know what his sister, Wei Tingyu, and Fifth Lady Li were discussing inside... And he was about to uncover this mystery! Thinking this, he saw that after the window opened a crack, no one seemed to have noticed his actions, so he directly stretched his neck and peered inside through the crack.

With just that one glance, the scene inside scared him so much that he almost screamed aloud. Fortunately, Yang Xian quickly covered his mouth with his hand, preventing any sound from escaping. His legs gave way, and he directly slumped down against the wall beneath the window. Because the scene inside the main hall was simply unbelievable to his eyes! He clearly saw Wei Tingyu standing before his sister's phoenix chair, and his sister, Consort Yang, the key figure upon whom the entire Yang family's honor depended, was actually kneeling before Wei Tingyu, respectfully tying his belt! And Fifth Lady Li was kneeling behind Wei Tingyu, helping him straighten the hem of his robe! This scene was truly too shocking, so much so that Yang Xian's entire back was drenched in cold sweat at this moment!

It was natural for Fifth Lady Li, as Wei Tingyu's concubine, to kneel behind him and serve the Marquis in dressing. But what kind of person was his sister, Consort Yang? She was the favored concubine of the current Emperor! Besides the Emperor, was there any second person in this world who could receive such treatment? Of course, what Yang Xian didn't know was that even the current Emperor, that old man, didn't receive such treatment! Because those who served him in dressing were his close eunuchs and palace maids, and Consort Yang at most only stood by his side to help hold his clothes.

Impossible! No matter how I think about it, it's impossible! Yang Xian's mind was in a complete mess. He sat on the ground, gasping for air for a while before slowly recovering. The confusion in his eyes grew even more intense. Right! Maybe I was just seeing things and made a mistake?! Thinking this, Yang Xian tremblingly straightened up again and leaned his eyes towards the window crack! Of course, this time he was prepared in advance, covering his mouth with his hand to ensure that no matter what he saw, he wouldn't scream again!

However, when he clearly saw the scene inside again, he was still petrified as if struck by a heavy blow! At this moment, he finally saw everything clearly: he hadn't been seeing things just now! His sister was indeed kneeling before Wei Tingyu, helping him tidy his clothes! And there wasn't a trace of forced grievance or anger on her face; instead, it was full of shyness! Yang Xian even saw deep affection in Consort Yang's occasional glances up at Wei Tingyu. Yes! This natural expression in her eyes absolutely couldn't be faked!

And most importantly, Yang Xian finally realized a very serious problem. It was broad daylight, why did the three people inside need to be dressing? There was only one possibility: Wei Tingyu had just taken off his clothes! But why would he need to take off his clothes? Then there was only one answer: just now, in this main hall... The more Yang Xian thought, the more terrified he became, and he couldn't help but tremble.

And this sensory stimulation didn't end. After Wei Tingyu gently helped Yang Yue Niang, who was kneeling before him, stand up, he actually lowered his head and kissed her little mouth! Yang Yue Niang didn't evade at all; instead, she cooperatively raised her fair jade neck, welcoming Wei Tingyu's embrace! Now, the evidence was conclusive! The two truly had physical intimacy, and it was even kissing! Even if Yang Xian was unwilling to admit it, he had no choice but to accept this reality now! His sister was the Emperor's Consort! If she had an illicit affair with another man, once the Emperor found out and held her accountable, the entire Yang family would face ruin!

Right! Just pretend I saw nothing! Thinking this, Yang Xian quickly shrank his head, planning to turn around and sneak away...
