Upon hearing this, Ren Ruyi was stunned again.
Who am I? I'm the former Left Envoy of the Crimson Guard!
It's already unprecedented for me to cook you a meal, but you even made me fetch water for you to wash your hands?
Does this mean they're treating me like a maid?
Ren Ruyi felt a surge of anger, but before she could lash out, she quickly regained her composure.
Oh, right! Wei Tingyu had already given her a formal title and treated her with the respect due to a wife of a marquis!
Although the wedding hasn't taken place yet, a concubine is a concubine! She can't be outshone by the noble concubines in the Marquis's mansion!
You should know that during the two days I spent at the Marquis's residence, I witnessed firsthand that not only the concubines and wives, but even the true mistress of the house, Dou Zhao, would personally serve Wei Tingyu without hesitation whenever he needed her!
Yes! Right now, I'm the only one serving the Marquis, so I absolutely can't let him down!
The strong-willed Ren Ruyi took a deep breath after thinking about this, and then actually turned around and obediently went to fetch water.
At this moment, Wei Tingyu smiled.
After all, this girl was different from his original wives and concubines; she was originally wild!
If we don't hone our skills properly, how will we be able to truly get along with the other women in the future?
In Wei Tingyu's plan, Ren Ruyi was supposed to be a female assassin who would display her swift and decisive style when fighting alongside him! But in his own backyard, she would be as obedient and docile as a good girl!
Although the requirements seem a bit numerous and sound somewhat disjointed.
But it's clear that Ren Ruyi is gradually moving in the direction she hoped for...
It seems my training was quite effective!
A moment later, Ren Ruyi brought over a basin of clean water! After personally helping Wei Tingyu wash his hands, she turned around and brought up the dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen, one by one.
Seeing Ren Ruyi's obedient and docile appearance, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion!
After he placed the last dish on the table, he gently took her hand and pulled it slightly...
Ren Ruyi, as if she had no bones, went limp and sat directly in his lap.
"My lord!" Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were certainly not something that could be easily defeated by a gentle tug! However, she would not resist Wei Tingyu's affectionate actions at all!

Chapter 182 I just want to be sisters! I don't want to be rivals in love!
"If you leave after serving the dishes, who will serve me my meal?" Now that Wei Tingyu had already won the beauty's heart, he naturally wouldn't let go easily. He smiled and looked at Ren Ruyi as he spoke.
Of course, Ren Ruyi wouldn't leave just like that. She just wanted to get some clean water to wipe off the black soot on her face.
But seeing that Wei Tingyu didn't seem to mind her at all, and instead kept staring at her somewhat dirty little face, she was even more delighted.
Doesn't this further demonstrate that Wei Tingyu values more than just her beautiful face? He actually dotes on her as a person!
"My lord, please try this!" Ren Ruyi was delighted and quickly picked up a plate of green vegetables and mushrooms from the table. After taking a bite, she gently offered it to Wei Tingyu's lips.
Without thinking, Wei Tingyu opened his mouth and let the other person put the food into his mouth.
However, after chewing a couple of times, his expression suddenly changed!
I don't know whether it's better to swallow or spit out what's left in my mouth.
When Ren Ruyi saw Wei Tingyu's expression change, she was immediately startled! Anyone who didn't know better would think there was poison in her food, that the Marquis's face had turned green!
However, when Ren Ruyi quickly added a chopstick to her own mouth, she immediately understood.
Good heavens! This is absolutely awful!
It seems I really have no talent for cooking!
……
Fortunately, not all of these dishes were made by Ren Ruyi; at least half of them were cooked by chefs hired by the post station. So the meal was finished without any major incidents.
Ren Ruyi was very embarrassed because she had failed at cooking, so after serving Wei Tingyu her meal, she immediately volunteered to help carry the dishes down one by one.
Of course, she didn't need to do the dishes herself; there were maids in the inn who were responsible for that.
However, Wei Tingyu only slowly stood up after watching Ren Ruyi's figure disappear into the kitchen with the bowls and plates. But before he could even stretch, he heard a clear call from behind him.
"Lord Marquis! Lord Marquis!" These two clear voices, as melodious as orioles, immediately lifted Wei Tingyu's spirits.
He knew without turning around that it must be Princess Yang Ying! No one else in the entire Wudu could provide such emotional support!
Thinking of this, he slowly turned around and just then saw Yang Ying, the little girl, dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, running towards him.
Meanwhile, a female official followed closely behind her, her face full of tension.
"Alright, alright! Don't fall!" Wei Tingyu quickly smiled and nodded at Yang Ying, then spoke up.
However, Yang Ying clearly did not listen to Wei Tingyu's words. She did not slow down at all, and with a quick movement of her jade feet, she threw herself into his arms without saying a word!
This scene stunned the female official following behind Yang Ying, who instinctively stopped in her tracks, unsure whether she should follow.
However, having served in the palace for so long, and now being assigned to serve Yang Ying, the future savior of Dawu, this female official was certainly not stupid and would not take the initiative to come forward and make a fool of herself!
She thought for a moment and then stopped where she was, just gazing into the distance.
At this moment, she also realized that if she went directly to her, it would definitely annoy the princess!
Wei Tingyu glanced at the female official and found her very familiar. He then remembered seeing her the night he had sneaked into Xiao Yan's palace! She was the same female official who had worked with Xiao Yan to trick Yang Ying into becoming the envoy to welcome the emperor!
Xiao Yan's decision to have her personal female attendant serve Yang Ying shows that she cares deeply for this little princess.
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu felt somewhat satisfied with Xiao Yan. After all, this woman hadn't been two-faced and had at least given up on her plan to kill Yang Ying as well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have put so much effort into teaching Yang Ying, would she?!
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?" Wei Tingyu patted Yang Ying's back in his arms, then asked directly.
"I..." Yang Ying was stunned. Her breathing calmed down a little, and she realized that she was still in Wei Tingyu's arms!
She immediately blushed and instinctively took a step back to distance herself from him.
Wei Tingyu was speechless again. Just now, it was clearly you, little girl, who took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms. Why are you looking so embarrassed now?
"Why is Your Highness blushing?" Wei Tingyu blinked and asked Yang Ying, "Could it be that you ran too fast and are out of breath?"
"If other people saw this, they might think I was flirting with you."
"How can I, the Marquis, maintain my image as a virtuous and upright man?"
"Pfft!" Hearing Wei Tingyu's serious teasing, Yang Ying finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
However, she still gave Wei Tingyu a small, playful glare with her beautiful eyes, clearly trying to charm him!
From Yang Ying's perspective, after all, she rushed to see him in such a hurry, and he still dared to joke with her? That was just too wicked! Those words he just spoke were anything but gentlemanly!
He's clearly just a seasoned womanizer!
But Yang Ying didn't understand why the more she felt Wei Tingyu was bad, the more she loved him!
When Wei Tingyu saw Yang Ying's expression, he knew what she was thinking.
However, he thought this was quite normal. In later generations, innocent and naive girls were most easily attracted to bad boys and could be tricked without them noticing.
With my experience in this area, winning over an ancient innocent princess would be a piece of cake.
Especially now that Princess Yang Ying is in a position of power, there is no need to address Wei Tingyu respectfully as "Lord Marquis." It would be more appropriate to call him Marquis of Jining or Marquis Wei.
However, Yang Ying had already regarded Wei Tingyu as her husband, so it was her own choice to call him "Master"!
If Wei Tingyu were to speak now and forbid her from addressing him with the respectful title of "Marquis," the girl might be unhappy!
"My sister-in-law said that the Marquis will accompany me to Anguo?" Yang Ying's trip was certainly purposeful, but in order to show her beauty to Wei Tingyu, she specially changed into a princess's dress before appearing in front of him.
"Excellent!" Wei Tingyu smiled, then nodded slightly to Yang Ying and said, "I will ensure Her Highness's safety along the way!"
"Why?" Yang Ying blushed immediately after hearing Wei Tingyu's affirmative answer and asked somewhat shyly.
At the same time, her little hands nervously clenched the hem of her clothes, a small action that Wei Tingyu found utterly adorable.
Isn't the girl's coy and hesitant manner just a way of wanting to hear a confession from her own mouth?
"Your Highness doesn't know?" Wei Tingyu naturally knew how to handle a naive girl like Yang Ying with a balance of power. Instead of answering her question, he smiled and asked her in return.
"How...how would I know?" Yang Ying was taken aback when she heard Wei Tingyu's words. Then her face turned even redder, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.
At this moment, Wei Tingyu could even hear the little girl's heart pounding faster and faster in her chest, the rhythm like a drumbeat!
"Because I... like Her Highness the Princess!" Seeing that the time was right, Wei Tingyu naturally did not hesitate and said with a smile.
At the same time, he stepped forward and gently put his arm around Yang Ying's slender waist!
"Huh?" Yang Ying was startled by Wei Tingyu's sudden intimate behavior. She instinctively wanted to push him away a little, after all, such a tall and mighty man was too intimidating in front of her petite and lovely body!
However, just as she placed her hand on Wei Tingyu's chest and before she could push him back forcefully, she heard Wei Tingyu admit his feelings for her. She froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Upon seeing Yang Ying, who was frozen in place, Wei Tingyu lowered his head without saying a word and kissed her cherry-like lips once more.
The two had already kissed, so Yang Ying naturally didn't resist anymore. Instead, she obediently closed her eyes, letting Wei Tingyu take whatever he wanted from her little mouth!
Just as the two were kissing, Ren Ruyi happened to come out of the kitchen and saw the scene.
Good heavens! Two people kissing in broad daylight right here in this inn?!
