Chapter 110 My best friend's lover is really a marquis? Lady Li is dumbfounded!

However, she had to admit that when she recalled the figure of that handsome fox-faced young man, she felt that he really resembled Wei Tingyu!

If the other party hadn't been wearing a fox mask and couldn't see their face, I might have mistaken them for Wei Tingyu at first glance based solely on their figure!

As Li Niangzi thought about this, she suddenly felt a sense of confusion, and her brows immediately furrowed.

That's how women are. They don't notice anything unusual until they get the slightest clue, and then they immediately start to recall a lot of details!

The clothes of that handsome, fox-faced young man were somewhat different from what Wei Tingyu had worn before, although the Marquis had been wearing a cloak! I couldn't see clearly what color his clothes were underneath...

The jade-faced fox-like gentleman didn't have a cloak, so this doesn't seem to be a reliable way to determine that they are two different people!

Right! What am I thinking? The relationship between Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingyu... how could that be?

Li Niangzi gently shook her head, feeling that she was worrying unnecessarily!

After all, although Wang Yingxue has always been audacious, she probably wouldn't dare to do something so shocking!

Of course, I absolutely must find out the true identity of that handsome fox-faced young man! Otherwise, I probably won't even be able to sleep soundly anymore!

Thinking of this, Li Niangzi couldn't help but reach out and touch her waist again. The jade pendant she had picked up earlier was still lying there quietly.

She took out the jade pendant and examined it carefully in the candlelight.

It's a pity that no name was written on it!

"Huh?" Upon seeing the jade pendant, Erniang Fu Hui's eyes lit up and she suddenly leaned closer.

"What's wrong?" Li Niangzi was taken aback and looked at Fu Hui, asking, "Do you recognize this jade pendant?"

"Mother! Where did you get this jade pendant?" Fu Hui didn't answer her mother's question. Instead, she took the jade pendant from Li Niangzi's hand, examined it carefully, and then said, "This seems to belong to the Marquis!"

The Marquis that Fu Hui is referring to now is naturally Wei Tingyu!

Upon hearing this, Li Niangzi froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, her pupils even unable to contract in shock!

"You looked closely?!" It took her a while to react. She nervously swallowed twice and stared at Fu Hui with a serious expression, saying, "Don't joke with me, okay?!"

"What's so funny about this?" Fu Hui blinked and looked at Li Niangzi with a puzzled expression. "It's the Marquis's jade pendant! I'm sure of it!"

Previously, when she and Wei Tingyu were holding hands intimately and whispering in the garden, they were even hugging!

At that moment, Fu Hui felt something poking her at the Marquis's waist. After taking a closer look, she realized it was the pendant of his folding fan.

And now she realized it was the one her mother was holding! She was absolutely certain she couldn't be mistaken! After all, every single detail of Wei Tingyu was deeply etched into her mind!

"..." Upon hearing Fu Hui's words, Li Niangzi's mouth gaped open, and her chin almost fell to the ground!

So... that handsome, foxy young man really is Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining!

It seems that dreaming about the face under the mask wasn't just wishful thinking... but rather that subconsciously I had already recognized him, even though I hadn't realized it before!

You, Wang Yingxue! I never expected you to be so bold as to even seduce the Marquis!

Thinking of this, Li Niangzi's expression turned speechless.

"Mother! How come the Marquis's jade pendant is with you?" At this moment, Fourth Sister Haode blinked and asked directly.

Upon hearing this question, the women who had been chattering away fell silent, and then all looked at Li Niangzi with puzzled expressions.

What could Li Niangzi do? She couldn't very well tell her daughters what she had witnessed today, could she?

Putting aside Wang Yingxue's reputation, if the daughters knew about Lord Wei's passionate rendezvous with her in the bamboo forest, they might very well have some strange thoughts about it.

After all, given Wei Tingyu's status, it's not surprising that he has many women around him!

Not only do they have many wives and concubines, but it's also quite normal for them to keep a few mistresses!

Li Niangzi could accept it in her heart, but the only thing that she found difficult to talk about was that the relationship between Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingyu was unusual!

It's almost exactly like the relationship I'll have with Wei Tingyu in the future!

Besides, after I marry my daughter into the Marquis's family, how should I address Wang Yingxue when I see her?

From Wei Tingyu's perspective, Wang Yingxue and her daughter were like sisters living in the same house! Her best friend had now become a sister from two different generations—it was embarrassing to think about!

"Could it be..." At this moment, Aunt Shouhua blinked and said, "The Marquis has already taken a fancy to one of our sisters, so he used this jade pendant to place a bet with Mother?"

As soon as Shouhua finished speaking, all the women's ears perked up!

The three unmarried women, Kangning, Haode, and Leshan, wore expressions that were hard to describe.

After all, this matter involves one of them!

Upon hearing this, Erniang Fu Hui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she laughed and said, "In that case, Mother, please tell me quickly who the Marquis has chosen?"

Of course she knew that even if the Marquis had indeed agreed with Lady Li to take one of his daughters as a concubine, it certainly wouldn't be hers right now! After all, she hadn't reached an agreement with the Fan family yet!

However, Fu Hui had already received Wei Tingyu's personal promise, so she was not in a hurry at the moment. Instead, she was a little curious about which younger sister would come with her to the Marquis's mansion to serve the Marquis in the future.

"You're overthinking it..." However, after seeing the expressions on her five daughters' faces, Li Niangzi shook her head helplessly.

I did agree with Dou Zhao to discuss something after we finished paying our respects to Buddha, but I missed the meeting because I was following Wang Yingxue! I'll have to wait for another opportunity!

Although she didn't want to dampen everyone's spirits, she couldn't lie to them right now, so she could only say, "I found this pendant by chance while I was wandering around the temple. Who would have thought it would belong to the Marquis!"

"I'll return it to the Marquis next time I see it!"

"Oh! Is that so!" Upon hearing their mother's words, the five girls all showed expressions of regret.

"Alright, alright! Sisters, there's no need for that!" Seeing the somewhat regretful expressions on her three younger sisters' faces, Aunt Shouhua smiled and said, "I wandered around the huge temple and actually found the jade pendant that the Marquis lost! What does that mean?!"

"This shows that the Marquis and our Li family are indeed destined to be together! Even Buddha and Bodhisattva have made it clear!"

"Who knows... this jade pendant might be a divine intervention by Buddha and Bodhisattva, allowing the Marquis to deliberately leave it there as a pre-arranged betrothal gift to our sister!"

"In my opinion, this marriage is a done deal, and nothing can break it!"

Shouhua's words of comfort immediately warmed up the atmosphere in the room again.

However, Li Niangzi frowned slightly after hearing this, because Shouhua's words did indeed contain something that resonated with her.

This jade pendant shouldn't have been dropped by the Marquis unintentionally; he probably left it there intentionally so that I would pick it up.

So, if that's the case... he realized he had witnessed something between him and Wang Yingxue!

But instead of getting angry, she left the jade pendant for him...

What does it mean?

Could it be as Aunt Shouhua said, that he was willing to marry her daughter in exchange for her keeping quiet about his relationship with Wang Yingxue?

If that's the case, then the Marquis really underestimates me! Lady Li thought with some resentment!

No matter what, she couldn't possibly expose Wang Yingxue's secret!

Forget it! Never mind! Next time I see Lord Hou and Wang Yingxue, I'll just ask them directly!

Li Niangzi's fiery personality suddenly came to mind again. Anyway, she couldn't figure it out, so why bother making trouble for herself?

As for this jade pendant, consider it a betrothal gift from the Marquis in advance! Although we don't yet know which of my daughters he intends to marry, it's always good to prepare a dowry now!

But as soon as she thought of this, Li Niangzi's expression immediately turned gloomy again.

The custom of lavish dowries in the capital is very serious! If a daughter cannot provide a generous dowry, she will always suffer a lot after entering her husband's family!

Even if the Marquis's family is rich and doesn't care about these material things, they still can't let their daughter be looked down upon by her other sisters!

However, Lady Li was blind and helpless, because although she wanted to provide a generous dowry, she was simply short of money.

The only two hundred or so strings of cash I have left are not enough to be considered a proper dowry for my daughter in front of the Marquis's mansion!

Besides, if all the money is given to the daughter the marquis wants to marry, what about the other daughters? Are they not going to get married?

The thought of this immediately gave Li Niangzi a headache again.

"Oh my god! Waaaaah!"

When the women saw Li Niangzi suddenly beating her chest and stamping her feet in pain, they were all dumbfounded!

Only Aunt Shouhua truly understood her mother's feelings and the reason for her sudden sadness.

After all, she had always helped her mother manage the remaining money in the family, and she knew much more about how much money was left than her four younger sisters!

So she directly told them about the current predicament her family was facing, and after hearing these words, Bao Huofu Hui and the other four youngest daughters fell silent.

"This capital city is really not a place for us! If you ask me, we shouldn't even dream of marrying into a noble family!" At this moment, Fourth Sister Haode couldn't bear to see her mother in such pain and distress, so she frowned and said, "In my opinion, we should pack our bags and go home!"

“We’ve sold all the land! Mother even boasted to the neighbors…” Fifth Sister Leshan downed her tea in one gulp, then said, “We said we’d live in the capital from now on! How can we possibly go back?!”

“That’s true!” Qiongnu, who hadn’t spoken until now, lowered her head and said softly, “My eldest cousin ate something from you and is still lying on the bed!”

"My second uncle's roof beams have been removed too! We need to lay low for a while!"

As soon as Qiong Nu spoke, all the women present fell silent.

They all know in their hearts that they can never go back to that home!

"They dared to cut off my family's irrigation canal to seize our farmland! It killed our crops!"

"I was just trying to scare him, to make an example of him!"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him to a pulp!"
