Is this guy even a man? Turns out, his effeminate mannerisms weren't just an act after all!

Your wife is having dinner with another man across the street, and you're hiding here? Are you kidding me?

But since Fan Lianghan himself didn't care, what could Chai An say? He could only silently turn his eyes away and stop looking at his good-for-nothing cousin!

Of course, when his gaze pierced through the window and landed directly on Wei Tingyu, anger and jealousy welled up in his eyes!

……

"My lord! This is a treasure my mother brought from the Eastern Capital. It's not for sale!" Fu Hui was very happy to be sitting next to Wei Tingyu, since this position was only an arm's length away from him.

She poured Wei Tingyu a cup of hot tea with a smile and said, "Please try it and see how it tastes."

Wei Tingyu smiled and nodded, then looked at the six women at the table. Seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he picked up his teacup and slowly took a couple of sips.

"Mmm! Not bad!" As the fragrant tea went down his throat, a rich and pleasant sensation spread from his stomach outwards. Wei Tingyu couldn't help but nod and sincerely praise it.

Sure enough! The Li family does have some treasures! But the fact that they're using them to entertain me means they're no longer treating me like an outsider!

Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's praise, all six women, including Li Niangzi, showed expressions of joy.

After all, they all knew that the Li family owed Wei Tingyu far too much, and the debt was only growing! Right now, all they could do was offer this fragrant tea as a token of their gratitude!

Of course, there are more direct ways to repay the favor, but since Wei Tingyu hasn't even asked yet, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to offer it up so readily, would it?

The five daughters of the Li family were all well aware that their mother wanted to marry the Marquis, and they were all quite looking forward to seeing what choice Wei Tingyu would make.

Previously, they were all worried about how to establish themselves and survive in the capital, but now that problem has clearly been solved. So, they all subconsciously started thinking about what would happen next…

That was the wedding of the five sisters in the family!

"Huh?" At that moment, Wu Niang Le Shan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Chai An across the street through the window. She immediately frowned and said, "Isn't that my second sister's husband's cousin?"

As soon as she finished speaking, all five daughters of the Li family turned around at the same time and saw Chai An sitting in front of the opposite window.

However, when the women saw that this guy was also looking in their direction, they couldn't help but roll their eyes!

“It’s not just Chai An!” Wei Tingyu said with a smile, opening his folding fan and gently waving it. “Fan Lianghan is also on the other side, but he’s hiding!”

With his current perception, he could see and hear every detail of what was happening in the Pan Tower across the street!

"What?" Second Madam Fu Hui frowned upon hearing that her husband was also opposite her, then craned her neck to look...

Sure enough, half a sleeve of a shirt was faintly visible by the window opposite Chai An's seat, clearly indicating that a man was hiding there.

"Don't worry about him!" However, Fu Hui showed no panic at all at being seen intimately with another man by her husband. She simply smiled and shook her head, saying, "Apart from our nominal husband-wife relationship, we have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

As soon as Fu Hui finished speaking, the other women in the Li family looked at each other and nodded after two seconds.

That's right! Ever since they came to the capital, they've been extremely dissatisfied with their second brother-in-law, Fan Lianghan! Not one of them doesn't feel that their sister has been wronged to marry that guy!

With their business thriving and the Li family firmly established in the capital, even if the second aunt, Fu Hui, were to divorce, she wouldn't starve to death!

"It's bitter!" Wei Tingyu said, taking another sip of the fragrant tea and placing the teacup on the table in front of him.

"Bitter?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Niangzi became anxious. Without a word, she snatched the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Then she frowned and said, "It's not bitter! It smells very good..."

At this moment, she was genuinely afraid of failing to properly entertain Wei Tingyu. After all, her family had already achieved such great success with Wei Tingyu's help. If she suddenly lost this backer, not only would her daughters' future be ruined, but she herself would also be unable to bear the consequences!

However, after she put down the teacup, she realized that everyone present was looking at her with surprise.

"What... what's wrong with me?" Li Niangzi blinked, looking at her daughters with some confusion. Why did their gazes seem a little strange?

"Mother!" Fourth Sister Haode smiled awkwardly and said, "Why did you drink the Marquis's cup of tea yourself?"

"Huh?" Li Niangzi was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was happening.

Upon hearing Wei Tingyu complain about the bitterness, she acted impulsively and, without considering anything else, picked up the teacup he had placed on the tea table and drank from it.

Now that her daughters had witnessed this scene, her face immediately turned red.

After all, this was just an accident and nothing serious, but if you think about it from a more thoughtful perspective, it can be quite a big deal.

Could this be considered as indirectly kissing the Marquis on the lips?

"I...I didn't...do it on purpose..." However, besides feeling embarrassed, Li Niangzi had nothing else to say and could only stammer as she tried to explain.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Wei Tingyu certainly wouldn't blame Li Niangzi for this matter at all. He waved his hand and said, "Li Niangzi has a true character, which I admire very much!"

"Hehe... Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Lady Li couldn't help but twitch her lips and awkwardly shrank her neck.

In the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal; Li Niangzi's personality meant she wouldn't have taken such an accident to heart.

But she happened to have witnessed Wei Tingyu and Wang Yingxue's affair firsthand! Logically speaking, her relationship with Wei Tingyu would soon become similar to the relationship between Wang Yingxue and him.

The matter of sharing a cup of tea just now was, to put it bluntly, quite ambiguous (4.5)!

Aunt Shouhua looked at her mother with some doubt, but immediately changed the subject.

"What bitterness did you just say, Lord Marquis?"

"I mean..." Facing the ever-quiet and polite old lady Shouhua, Wei Tingyu felt a strong itch in his heart. Seeing that her gaze was also on him, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Some people have bitterness in their hearts!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced out the window, seemingly casually, in the direction of Chai An.

At that moment, the Li family mother and daughter present all understood.

Indeed! Just thinking about it makes you realize that Chai An must be feeling terrible right now!

"Hmph! If he has to suffer, then he deserves it!" Thinking of this, Li Niangzi immediately felt very relieved and happy, and the embarrassment before was completely forgotten.

"It's just a fly's leg! How much meat is that? And you're still not letting go of it?!"

"What kind of world is this? They eat meat themselves but won't even let others have a sip of the broth!"

"That kind of skinflint! Even if Pan Lou falls from grace, he deserves it!"

Li Niangzi gave Chai An a thorough and satisfying scolding, while Si Niang Haode quickly reached out and gently patted her mother's back.

Her daughters nodded in agreement, all agreeing with their mother's statement.

After all, in business, everyone has to rely on their own abilities. If you are really capable of making a lot of money, even if others are envious and jealous, they would never curse you behind your back!

However, Chai An's actions were not legitimate business practices at all.

He'd rather lose money himself than miss out on the teahouse's business; this behavior is truly despicable! Even the most cunning merchants wouldn't do something like this!

The term "skin-peeler" is the perfect way to describe Chai An!

Chapter 114 The Li family, mother and daughter, prepare for the challenge! I want to take five as concubines!

However, when Lady Li gets angry, even her own daughter can't stop her!

He grew increasingly angry, and finally slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Does this Master Chai really think he's some kind of extraordinary person?"

"It's one thing to be arrogant all the time, but do you really think we're an orphan and a widow, easy to bully?"

"What a joke! My Li family isn't without backers!"

However, as soon as Li Niangzi said this, Si Niang Haode, who had been desperately trying to persuade her, immediately fell silent!

And it wasn't just her; the other four sisters were the same, their eyes widening in surprise!

What does it mean that the Li family has a powerful backer? Who is that powerful backer?

Even though everyone knows what's going on, it's just not something they can say directly! Especially not in front of this powerful figure!

Wouldn't saying something like that make the other person think I'm using them?

Especially the second wife, Fu Hui, was terrified! She was really afraid that the Marquis would think that she approached him with ulterior motives rather than because she truly loved him, and her eyes immediately reddened with anxiety!

"Oh dear! It's already like this!" Li Niangzi finally realized what had happened, but that was just her personality. Now that things had already happened, there was no way to cover it up!

Thinking of this, she decided to throw caution to the wind, stood up, walked straight to Wei Tingyu, bowed to him, and said, "My lord! I know you have taken a liking to my Li family's daughter!"

"Fortunately, since we've come this far, there's no point in hiding it anymore!"

"It's only natural for a woman to marry when she comes of age! That's just human nature!"

"Just tell me straight! Which one do you like?"

Upon hearing Li Niangzi's words, all five daughters of the Li family blushed, even the usually quiet eldest daughter, Shouhua, showed an embarrassed expression.

When Wei Tingyu saw this, he understood. Sure enough, he was right; Shouhua did have some feelings for him.

"Mother!" At this moment, the youngest, Fifth Sister Yue Shan, spoke first: "Look what you're saying!"

She was the youngest and hadn't yet been enlightened about matters between men and women; right now, she just felt embarrassed.

Her sisters, however, each had their own thoughts and remained silent.

"What should I say?" Lady Li was now completely reckless, partly because she was confident that her daughter would be favored by the Marquis, so she continued, "I'm talking about very important matters!"

After speaking, she looked at Wei Tingyu respectfully and said, "My lord, please speak freely! Which daughter do you fancy? I will immediately write a document for her to be taken as a concubine, and you can bring her back to your residence today..."

"Mother!" Hearing Li Niangzi's increasingly exaggerated words, that she would actually let Wei Tingyu take people away tonight, the daughters were speechless!

Aunt Shouhua quickly pulled her mother back, stopping her from saying anything more.

“The Marquis is a nobleman, how can he just take a concubine so casually?” Shouhua said, holding Li Niangzi’s hand. “Besides, what merits does our Li family’s daughter have? How dare she hope to enter the Marquis’s mansion…”

Of course, Shouhua was being modest in saying this.

In her eyes, all her sisters were outstanding and beautiful, and all were natural beauties!
