"What does Lady Jieyu think?" However, Wei Tingyu did not answer directly, but looked at the other party and revealed a meaningful smile.
What do I think? How can I possibly think?
You audacious Marquis of Jining, you dared to sneak into the inner palace at night, and even bathe in the same tub with the Emperor's concubine! These actions are all illogical. Now, let me guess what your purpose is.
I'm not a lunatic like you! How could I possibly know what you're thinking?
Yang Jieyu thought to herself, then rolled her eyes slightly in exasperation, but she immediately realized what she was doing.
Wasn't I just trying to investigate my younger brother Yang Xian's matter?

Moreover, news from her maternal family indicated that this matter was directly related to Wei Tingyu!
"Did the Marquis come to the palace specifically to see me because of... my good-for-nothing younger brother?" Thinking of this, Consort Yang frowned and looked at Wei Tingyu, then asked with a serious expression.
Good heavens! The two of them were bathing together in the same tub, and in such an ambiguous setting, this woman was actually able to put on such a serious expression and speak to him in a tone as if she were asking about something important?
It has to be said, this scene is really quite incongruous!
But it was definitely exciting!
Because of such a bold scene concept, even small films from Japan probably wouldn't dare to shoot like this!
"Excellent!" Wei Tingyu nodded and said, "It's clear that Lady Jieyu is exceptionally intelligent! She can grasp the key points without needing any prompting!"
Hmph! Do I need a lecher like you to praise me?
Yang Jieyu cursed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on her face.
"Just for this little thing... the Marquis broke into the palace at night?" But after getting the real answer, Consort Yang became even more puzzled.
"Isn't it because I'm worried that Lady Jieyu might hear rumors from your Yang family and then spread them against me to His Majesty?" Of course, Wei Tingyu was just making up an excuse.
This statement is three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, yet it is the easiest to deceive people because it makes logical sense.
Are you afraid I'll report you for making false accusations, so you stay in the inner palace at night, or are you risking having your family wiped out?
However, Yang Jieyu looked at Wei Tingyu with an expression of disbelief.
Even if he were to be biased and go directly to the emperor to file a complaint against the Marquis of Jining, it would at most be a conflict between two nobles.
The emperor couldn't possibly punish the current head of a founding noble family for such a trivial matter; otherwise, how could he unite the hearts of these nobles?
Unauthorized trespassing into the inner palace is undoubtedly a serious crime!
How could Wei Tingyu be willing to commit a crime that could lead to the confiscation of his family and the extermination of his clan for such a minor offense that would at most result in a few reprimands?
"Although His Majesty will certainly not punish my Jining Marquis's Mansion too severely because of this matter!" Wei Tingyu saw the doubt in Yang Jieyu's eyes and naturally understood what she was considering, so he spoke up again.
"However, this matter is not my fault! It was Lady Jieyu's younger brother, Yang Xian, who acted aggressively first!"
"I have only imposed a minor punishment on you!"
"And if Consort Jieyu listens to her family's words and truly resents me, whispering in the Emperor's ear every day..."
"Then I won't even be able to sleep peacefully!"
As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, Yang Jieyu's expression changed immediately.
She herself knew that the so-called "pillow talk" was impossible.
After all, the emperor didn't really favor her; he was just using her as a cover. However, he couldn't explain this to Wei Tingyu directly right now.
Of course, the emperor's care for the Yang family was merely to make the whole charade more convincing; he himself had no right to whisper sweet nothings in the old man's ear!
"Ahem!" Yang Jieyu could only cough awkwardly twice, then looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "Lord Wei, you underestimate me! Am I such a petty person?"
"However, regarding your grudge with Yang Xian, both sides have their own version of events, so how can I know who is telling the truth?"
"You said I shouldn't blindly believe the Yang family's rumors, but you can't just believe your words so easily, can you, Lord Marquis?"
Wei Tingyu was not surprised to hear this.
There was no way around it; Yang Xian was Yang Jieyu's younger brother, so her words were naturally in line with human nature and logic.
“But I’m afraid Lady Yang knows better than I do what kind of person your younger brother really is!” Wei Tingyu blinked and smiled at Lady Yang.
"..." Yang Jieyu just pursed her lips upon hearing this and did not reply.
Because of Yang Xian's way of doing things, her older sister knew her all too well!
However, even though these words came from Wei Tingyu's mouth, Yang Jieyu still had a lot of doubts.
After all, from the moment he appeared in front of him, his impression of this Marquis of Jining was that he was a lecherous scoundrel who was even more arrogant than his younger brother!
Just considering the fact that he dared to jump into the bathtub of the empress in the harem, Yang Xian wouldn't dare even if he had a hundred lives!
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Jieyu felt that the previous conflict between Wei Tingyu and Yang Xian might have been just a farce of dogs fighting each other!
It's possible that both of them had their eyes on that beautiful girl from the Li family and simultaneously harbored the despicable idea of forcibly taking her into their household as a concubine!
Although his younger brother Yang Xian was not a good person, the Marquis of Jining, Wei Tingyu, was even more wicked!
"I will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly!" Thinking of this, Consort Yang frowned, then looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "I will certainly not let the Marquis be wronged!"
"Well then... thank you very much, Lady Consort!" Wei Tingyu smiled and raised an eyebrow at Lady Yang, adopting a nonchalant attitude.
This scene only fueled Yang Jieyu's anger. This lecherous man was clearly still flirting with her! Sure enough, her concerns were entirely correct!

Chapter 138 Bathing Together in the Palace! Taking Consort Yang!
However, she also knew that there was something more important to do, so she couldn't afford to offend Wei Tingyu.
"There is one more thing I need to ask the Marquis to clarify!" Consort Yang took a deep breath, then looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "May I ask, Marquis! Is my younger brother Yang Xian's illness... related to the Marquis?"
The so-called illness of Yang Xian is the same as the impotence that the maid told Yang Jieyu about before!
Of course, as a woman, she couldn't be so direct with Wei Tingyu, but she believed he would understand.
However, how could Wei Tingyu so easily give in to Yang Jieyu's wishes?
He looked bewildered and asked, "What illness? Could it be that Young Master Yang caught a cold because the little beggar stripped him naked on the bridge that day?"
"I knew it! People shouldn't do too many immoral things, or God will always punish them!"
"But those little beggars have nothing to do with me! Yang Jieyu, don't blame me for this!"
Seeing Wei Tingyu pretending to know nothing, Yang Jieyu was so angry that her teeth itched and she clenched them so tightly they made a grinding sound.
Even her little pink fists were clenched tightly underwater!
"Why is Lady Jieyu blushing?" Wei Tingyu blinked and then asked.
Blushing? It's because I'm so angry at you, you lecherous scoundrel!
Yang Jieyu thought bitterly to herself, "Just by looking at Wei Tingyu's expression, I know that this guy definitely understands what I mean."
But he pretended to know nothing at all, clearly trying to embarrass himself.
After all, how could a woman possibly bring herself to talk about a man's sexual issues? Not even her own sister!
But what about the younger brother's future... and the continuation of the Yang family...?
After considering these two points, Yang Jieyu had no choice but to bow to reality again!
"Lord Wei, please don't joke!" Consort Yang took two deep breaths, then stared at Wei Tingyu and said, "You probably know my brother's current situation better than I do!"
When she needed something from him, Consort Yang stopped referring to herself as "this palace" and started calling herself "I" directly in front of Wei Tingyu.
That's incredibly humble!
"I don't understand!" However, Wei Tingyu was determined to play dumb to the end. He looked at Consort Yang and said, "But some people say that when you are sick, you should sincerely seek medical treatment! Whether you can get a famous doctor to treat you depends on whether Your Majesty is sincere..."
Sincerity? Yang Jieyu was taken aback, and instantly realized that Wei Tingyu was giving her some pointers!
Does he mean that one needs to pay some price to show sincerity?
"What does the Marquis want?" Thinking of this, Consort Yang closed her eyes. She didn't even dare to guess how Wei Tingyu would answer next!
Because he could more or less see the lust in Wei Tingyu's eyes.
He's just been very restrained; now that he has leverage over us, who knows what unreasonable demands he might make!
Thinking of this, Yang Jieyu's heart began to beat faster involuntarily!
"That depends on what Lady Yang has to offer," Wei Tingyu said with a smile, raising an eyebrow at Lady Yang.
"..." After hearing this, Consort Yang was silent for two seconds, then suddenly opened her eyes and glared at Wei Tingyu, saying, "Lord Wei, don't go too far! I am the Emperor's Consort!"
"Did I say anything?" Wei Tingyu found Yang Jieyu's face turning white and red with anger even more adorable, and shrugged innocently before asking.
You didn't say anything! But isn't the meaning in your words and the implication in your eyes obvious? I'm not blind, how could I not see it?
"Anyway... apart from this... you can name any other conditions, my lord!" Consort Yang frowned, knowing there was no need to be too explicit with Wei Tingyu. Since the other party was being vague, she would just express her meaning.
"Then there are no conditions!" Wei Tingyu smiled slightly, then lightly leaped off the wooden tub and landed gracefully to the side!
Then he channeled his inner energy, and a burst of white steam rose from his body. In just a few seconds, his originally wet clothes dried!
This scene left Yang Jieyu, who was in the bathtub, completely dumbfounded and shocked!
After all, the scene just now when Wei Tingyu used his internal energy to evaporate the moisture from his clothes really looked like someone was about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight!
