However, before the Yang family could figure it out, they saw Consort Yang slowly stand up and, with the help of the female official beside her, walk towards Leshan!
However, her peripheral vision remained fixed on Wei Tingyu!
At this moment, Yang Jieyu's heart was pounding. If there hadn't been so many people watching, she probably would have run straight into Wei Tingyu's arms like a little bird to seek comfort.
As she walked step by step toward Leshan, the young woman actually felt a little uneasy!
After all, Yang Jieyu's status was undeniable. Seeing the other party slowly approaching in his magnificent palace attire, the oppressive feeling made her subconsciously tighten her grip on Wei Tingyu's hand.
Regardless, Yang Xian had indeed been severely pranked because of his own actions, becoming the laughingstock of the entire capital.
As Yang Xian's older sister, even if Yang Jieyu is mindful of Wei Tingyu's feelings, she will likely still scold Yang Jieyu.
Fine! If Consort Yang really wants to scold me, I'll just have to put up with it.
It wouldn't be good to damage the relationship between the Marquis and Consort Yang, would it?
The kind-hearted girl is now completely considering things from Wei Tingyu's perspective!
Even the grievances she would never have tolerated before, she could now endure! This change surprised even Le Shan herself!
Meanwhile, the Yang family members all revealed gloating smiles. As expected, Consort Yang was still a member of the Yang family after all! She still sided with her own family!
Putting everything else aside, it seems we definitely need to teach this fifth daughter of the Li family a lesson!
Although scolding her won't break her bones, it can at least suppress the little girl's arrogance and relieve the anger that the Yang family couldn't vent earlier!
While everyone in the room was lost in their own thoughts, Yang Jieyu had already walked straight to Leshan's side.
Of course, Wei Tingyu was standing only one step away from her!
Immediately afterwards, a rich lavender scent filled Wei Tingyu's nostrils...
It was the scent of lavender perfume emanating from Yang Jieyu.
And this bottle of lavender perfume was a gift that Wei Tingyu gave her when they last met!
At the same time, Yang Jieyu glanced at Wei Tingyu subtly with her eyes. Although it was only for a moment, the emotion in her eyes was unmistakable.
Standing very close by, Wei Tingyu naturally understood the meaning in the beautiful woman's gaze.
Combined with the meaning conveyed by this lavender-scented perfume, isn't it obvious?
Wei Tingyu had previously told Yang Jieyu that lavender, a purple flower that originated from the Western Regions, has a very pleasant fragrance and a special flower language: waiting for love.
Yang Jieyu silently repeated it several times, making it a part of her memory.
Right now, she's wearing lavender perfume, and with that suggestive glance just now, isn't she telling Wei Tingyu that she's been waiting for him all along?
Most importantly, there were also many of Yang's maternal relatives present in the hall. The two of them were essentially exchanging flirtatious glances and secret information that only they knew, right in front of everyone!
I have to say, this girl is having a really exciting time!
Thinking this through, Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, indicating to the other party that he understood!
After receiving Wei Tingyu's reply, Yang Jieyu looked away with satisfaction, and her face flushed slightly.
Of course, only Wei Tingyu and Le Shan could see such a subtle change; the Yang family members sitting next to them would not notice it.
Le Shan, who was initially a little nervous and apprehensive, immediately relaxed after observing the eye contact between Wei Tingyu and Yang Jieyu.
What? There's definitely a secret between Consort Yang and the Marquis!
But the key question is, if they wanted to meet secretly, why did they have to call me over?
To be forced to witness their public displays of affection up close, while watching her and the Marquis exchange flirtatious glances?
Is this Yang Jieyu's punishment for herself? Seeing this, Le Shan couldn't help but pout, and a little sourness welled up in her heart!
It has to be said that, from this perspective, Yang Jieyu really did punish herself successfully!
"Good!" However, Yang Jieyu blinked and looked at Li Wuniang, then smiled and said, "Just as rumored! Li Wuniang is indeed a courageous and upright person!"
Le Shan was stunned upon hearing this. What was going on? Not only was she not reprimanded, but she was also praised?
The Yang family members were utterly astonished! This outcome was something none of them had anticipated!
"The Emperor mentioned yesterday that he wants to promote Father's official rank!" Consort Yang had already guessed the reaction of her family members. She slowly turned around, looked around, and then spoke.
Although no one knew why Yang Jieyu suddenly changed the subject after praising Leshan, everyone in the Yang family looked delighted.
Old Man Yang, in particular, was so excited that his eyes widened.
His biggest goal today is to persuade his daughter to say a few good words for him to the emperor so that he can get a promotion.
However, Consort Yang disregarded the expressions of her family members, and said directly, "I told the Emperor that officials outside the capital are diligent and accumulate merits through their work, which is why they are promoted!"
"The fact that the Emperor bestowed honors upon the Yang family simply because of his favor has set a precedent for the practice of seeking favors for personal matters within the imperial harem!"
"This will inevitably attract criticism both inside and outside the court! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
Upon hearing Yang Jieyu's words, the faces of everyone in the Yang family changed once again!
This scene made Yue Shan secretly applaud. The Yang family had experienced such a dramatic rise and fall in such a short time, and their face-changing performance was even better than that of professional actors!
"You...don't you really think about your father?" Old Man Yang stood up shakily, looking at Yang Jieyu with a disappointed expression and asked.
"I had no choice but to do this for the sake of the Yang family!" However, Yang Jieyu pursed her lips and looked directly at her father, saying, "The Yang family is now wealthy and enjoys honor and prosperity!"
"It's not because my father and cousins have exceptional talents!"
"It's not because of the connections of the women in the harem!"
"Since the honor and disgrace of the whole family are tied to a fragile skirt!"
"How dare you become so greedy and forget your place after achieving your goal?!"
As Yang Jieyu spoke, her expression grew increasingly serious. She had reached her breaking point with the demands of her family, and now she finally snapped.
Seeing this, the women of the Yang family all shrank back and dared not speak, after all, they all knew in their hearts that what Consort Yang said was absolutely correct!
"Are you criticizing your own father?!"
However, Old Man Yang looked at Yang Jieyu with a face full of anger and asked her a question.
Before Yang Jieyu could speak, the two female officials beside her spoke up.
"Excuse me! Apologize to Lady Jieyu!"

Chapter 153 An affair with Yang Jieyu at the Yang family home!
These two female officials were Yang Jieyu's confidantes and also female Golden Shadow Guards sent by Wei Tingyu! Their loyalty goes without saying, and their words also contained an outward display of inner strength that struck straight to the heart!
This startled Old Man Yang and the women of the Yang family, and everyone stood up and bowed.
"Please forgive me, Lady Jieyu!"
Seeing her family members bowing in respect, Consort Yang showed no sign of panic or reluctance. Instead, she didn't directly tell them to maintain their posture of apologizing for their sins. After a few seconds, she slowly raised her right hand.
The Yang family members finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief and straightened up!
Wei Tingyu found this scene amusing. But to be fair, Consort Yang's method of "housekeeper's enforcement" was quite effective!
This shows that even a family like the Yang family, which has almost no sense of propriety, morality, or shame, still needs someone like her to steer the ship in order to avoid getting into big trouble!
"When descendants are lawless and fail to maintain family discipline, it is the source of family ruin and the beginning of disaster!"
"It's a pity that I'm in the deep palace and can't keep a close watch on things!"
"That's why I've specially invited Lord Wei and Lady Li to my home for a chat today!"
As soon as Yang Jieyu finished speaking, everyone in the Yang family was completely dumbfounded.
What does this mean? Is inviting Wei Tingyu and Le Shan to his home for a banquet a way of hoping they can keep an eye on him?
Now that my enemy has become my superior, will I ever have a good life again?
Upon realizing this, the members of the Yang family exchanged bewildered glances, but intimidated by Yang Jieyu's recent display of power, none of them dared to voice their opposition.
"Fifth Sister!" Yang Jieyu walked to Leshan's side, took her hands, and said, "I knew the moment I saw you that your temperament was similar to mine, but you were even braver than me!"
"If Fifth Sister doesn't mind, I'll take you as my sworn sister today!"
"From now on, I'll trouble you and the Marquis to keep an eye on the Yang family for me!"
"What if one day someone from the Yang family causes trouble in the village and commits evil deeds!"
"Go ahead and beat and scold me! Anyone who dares to disobey, you can talk to me!"
As Yang Jieyu spoke, her eyes swept over the Yang family members around her again!
When the members of the Yang family saw Yang Jieyu looking at them, they all lowered their heads, and none of them dared to meet her gaze!
Of course, Yang Jieyu had several purposes in mind when she made this statement.
Firstly, since she recognized Wu Niang as her sworn sister, she had a reason and excuse for contacting Wei Tingyu.
Another reason is that the Yang family's family traditions were indeed very bad, so they needed someone who hated evil to teach them a lesson.
Li Wuniang is indeed the best of the 18 candidates. Although she has no kinship with the Yang family, she is their enemy!
Therefore, as long as she gets her permission, she will never hold back when dealing with the Yang family!
Of course, with Wei Tingyu by her side, Li Wuniang certainly wouldn't go too far! The lives and safety of the Yang family members were still somewhat guaranteed!
