Thinking of this, Yang Xian scrambled to Wei Tingyu's side again, and even more exaggeratedly, he started kowtowing to him repeatedly.
He was especially serious and energetic in kowtowing, not only making a loud noise, but also drawing blood from his forehead after just two kowtows.
It's obvious that this guy is really afraid of dying!
"Brother-in-law! Spare me! Brother-in-law!" Of course, Yang Xian wasn't stupid. When he thought about the relationship between Yang Jieyu and Wei Tingyu, he immediately seized the opportunity to claim kinship with Wei Tingyu.
"Brother-in-law?" Wei Tingyu was taken aback upon hearing this, while Yang Yueniang blushed slightly. Seeing the expression on Wei Tingyu's face, she knew he had no intention of killing her younger brother, and thus felt relieved.
However, just to be on the safe side, it's still necessary to warn this good-for-nothing younger brother.
"Of course you're my brother-in-law!" Yang Xian immediately replied after hearing the question in Wei Tingyu's words. "My sister is yours now, so naturally you're my brother-in-law!"
"And in this world, I only recognize you as my brother-in-law!"
"As for the others... even if they were the Heavenly King himself, I wouldn't acknowledge them!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu and Le Shan exchanged a glance and almost burst out laughing at the same time.
Because when this guy first appeared in front of Wei Tingyu, he proudly said that the emperor in the palace was his brother-in-law. I didn’t expect him to change his tune so quickly after all this time!
Wei Tingyu looked at Yang Xian, who was kneeling in front of him and kowtowing repeatedly, somewhat speechless, and felt quite emotional.
In the original storyline, Le Shan was Yang Xian's official partner, but now she has been taken into the Marquis's mansion as his concubine.
Now even his sister has become his woman! It seems Yang Xian is truly unlucky!
However, for Yang Yueniang's sake, Wei Tingyu naturally had no need to truly exterminate her!
"Get up!" He nodded slightly and said.
"Huh?" Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Wei Tingyu and asked in a daze, "Brother-in-law... you're not going to kill me to silence me?"
"Who said you can only kill someone while they're kneeling? Wouldn't it be the same if you got up and killed them?" At this moment, Le Shan rolled her eyes and looked at Yang Xian before speaking again.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xian was so frightened that he trembled all over, and his originally bewildered face immediately turned into a mournful one.
"Alright, alright, Sister Leshan, don't scare him anymore!" Yang Yueniang couldn't help but tease him with a smile, "Aren't you going to thank your brother-in-law?"
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Yang Xian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his sister's words. Then, he kowtowed several times to Wei Tingyu before standing up shakily and cautiously.
Of course, after he got up, he quickly moved his feet slightly and hid behind Yang Yueniang.
Yang Yueniang was furious at her younger brother's cowardly behavior, but there was nothing she could do; after all, he was her own brother!
After thinking it over, I realized that no matter how much I hate him, I have to ignore him!
Thinking of this, Yang Yueniang turned to Wei Tingyu and bowed slightly, saying, "Since Yang Xian has solemnly apologized to the Marquis, please forgive him. His previous illness..."
As soon as Yang Yueniang mentioned this, Yang Xian's eyes lit up again. He naturally understood what his sister was talking about.
Ever since Wei Tingyu gently patted his shoulder twice with a folding fan that day, Yang Xian realized that he had become a limp man and could no longer perform sexually!
Hearing Yang Yueniang plead with Wei Tingyu about this matter now clearly confirms Yang Xian's previous suspicion that his illness was indeed caused by Wei Tingyu.
"No rush!" Wei Tingyu shook his head slightly and said, "As long as he behaves himself in the future, I will naturally cure him!"
“Yes!” Yang Yueniang hadn’t expected Wei Tingyu to cure her brother’s illness immediately, but seeing him say that, she nodded in response.
Moreover, Yang Xian, this spoiled brat, was always causing trouble, which had given Yang Yue Niang a lot of headaches.
Let him stay sick for now; that way, he'll behave himself and I'll have less to worry about.
As for the future... Wei Tingyu has agreed to treat his illness. He'll wait until the boy is more mature and able to truly settle down and start a family before treating him. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
A hint of disappointment flashed in Yang Xian's eyes, but seeing that Wei Tingyu had at least verbally agreed to treat his illness in the future, he immediately put on a big smile.
"Thank you, brother-in-law! Thank you, brother-in-law!" This guy was bowing and scraping, being incredibly humble in front of Wei Tingyu. He even called him "brother-in-law" much more smoothly!
As the four walked out of the main hall, the Yang family members were gathered outside the courtyard, peering in their direction.
After all, female officials were blocking them from entering, but a maid saw Yang Xian climbing through the dog hole into the main hall courtyard and immediately reported it to the head of the Yang family.
So everyone was very worried!
Seeing the four of them come out chatting and laughing, they finally felt relieved!
However, everyone felt something was very strange. Originally, Yang Xian hated Wei Tingyu so much that his teeth itched.
Why is she bowing halfway down in front of him right now, looking like a complete follower?
When did my son learn to be patient?
Amidst the doubts of the Yang family members, the family banquet came to a hasty end.
After escorting Consort Yang back to the palace, Yang Xian personally saw Wei Tingyu off to the gate of the Yang family residence. Even after Wei Tingyu led Leshan into the carriage, Yang Xian maintained his extremely respectful attitude.
Even after the carriage to the Marquis's residence had gone far away and disappeared from everyone's sight, he finally straightened his back!
"Xian'er! What's wrong with you?" Before Yang Xian could even turn around and enter the mansion, his mother anxiously grabbed her son and looked him up and down, asking, "Could you be possessed?"
"Come with me to the Sanqing Temple to pray for the gods and bodhisattvas' blessings..."
"Yes, yes, yes! This matter cannot be taken lightly!"
"Quickly, hitch up the car, we're off right now!"
The women of the Yang family were also in a state of chaos. After all, Yang Xian was the little ancestor of the family, and if anything happened to him, everything would be over!
"Mother! What evil spirit have possessed me?!" Yang Xian quickly refused them, and said with a smirk, "Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"Not possessed? Then why did you suddenly become so hostile towards Wei Tingyu..." Yang Xian's mother blinked, then asked again.
However, before she could finish speaking, Yang Xian interrupted her.
"Shut up!" Yang Xian shouted, his brows furrowed, startling everyone in the Yang family present.
“That’s my brother-in-law…my sister’s adopted sister…the man she married! He is also the son-in-law of our Yang family!” Yang Xian blurted out without thinking, almost letting the cat out of the bag.
Fortunately, the kid reacted quickly and immediately covered it up.
The other members of the Yang family also failed to grasp the key point in his words, and thus were easily fooled.
"From now on, you must call him Lord Wei! If anyone dares to be disrespectful, I will disown him!" Of course, Yang Xian had already become Wei Tingyu's most loyal follower.
Not to mention that his life was in the other party's hands, even if he could help him cure his impotence in a few years, Yang Xian would have to curry favor with his brother-in-law Wei Tingyu just for this reason!
"Huh?" The Yang family members were stunned and looked completely bewildered.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that he's really possessed, or that Wei Tingyu has cast a spell on him?
Seeing the bewildered expressions on his family members' faces, Yang Xian had no way of explaining the reason to them.
However, he immediately thought of something very important.
His sister had just told him that in a few days, the Yang family would be responsible for receiving the delegations from Anguo and Wuguo who would be coming to the capital for peace talks.
To prevent any trouble from arising that the Yang family wouldn't be able to handle, they invited Wei Tingyu to come and help keep things under control.
In other words, Wei Tingyu will also be present at the banquet a few days later, and that is the most important thing right now!
"Father, Mother! Quickly order the entire mansion to be thoroughly cleaned and tidied! Prepare the ingredients! Hire a renowned chef!" Thinking of this, Yang Xian hurriedly said to his parents, "The Marquis will be coming to our mansion for a banquet in a few days!"
"Huh?" As soon as these words were spoken, the Yang family members were even more confused. What was all this about?
But seeing Yang Xian shouting as he ran into the mansion and began directing the servants to clean the courtyard, it became clear that he wasn't just talking casually.
……
In the blink of an eye, the day for the Yang family to host a banquet for foreign envoys arrived in three days.
These past two days, Wei Tingyu has been quite diligent in going back and forth to the palace at night, spending two consecutive nights in intimate moments with Yang Yueniang in her palace, which can be considered a good way to make up for the neglect he had shown this woman for the past ten days or so.
Of course, some intelligence over the past three days has also reached Wei Tingyu's ears.
The planned peace talks between the delegations from Anguo and Wuguo in the capital ultimately fell through.
For some reason, Anguo temporarily recalled its envoys who were already halfway there, while Wuguo's envoy, Sun Shiyi, arrived in the capital smoothly yesterday.
Upon hearing this name, Wei Tingyu immediately felt a sense of alarm, because he remembered this guy.
In the original drama, Ren Ruyi's first appearance seems to be at a banquet in his mansion!
The setting has changed in this merged world, but the main characters remain the same.
Judging from this, the possibility of Ren Ruyi appearing at the Yang residence has greatly increased!
Wei Tingyu absolutely had to take this woman in! Putting aside her stunning appearance and superb martial arts skills, her unparalleled intelligence experience alone gave Wei Tingyu no reason to give up on her.
Although the Golden Shadow Guards that I can currently obtain through the system are loyal and highly skilled, they can only be considered excellent warriors.
If I want to climb higher in the future, then I absolutely need an intelligence organization and an assassin organization!
If Ren Ruyi were to be recruited to his side, it would be nothing short of a very capable right-hand man!
Of course, winning over this girl is definitely the most difficult challenge I've faced since I transmigrated to this world!
Given her personality, even if I forced myself to sleep with her, she probably wouldn't obediently submit. On the contrary, I might end up with an enemy who wants to assassinate me all the time!
This seems to be quite a tricky situation!
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu sat in the carriage and rubbed his temples. Why did his head feel a little sore?
"My lord! We've arrived at the Yang residence!" At this moment, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and the voice of the accompanying Golden Shadow Guard came in.
