Moreover, this trait of secretly sabotaging others is very much in line with his perception of Chai An!

"Whether he takes a concubine or not is none of my business! I just want to get away from the Fan family as soon as possible, this place that makes me want to vomit!" Fu Hui rolled her eyes as she said this, "But before I've even left, I'm going to be disgusted by them again. They even want me to help Fan Lianghan find concubines..."

"Second Sister, don't be angry!" Third Sister Kang Ning's eyes darted around, and she immediately seemed to have a good idea, saying, "I'll go ask the Marquis about this matter first, and see if he has any ideas. If he arranges it well, we can take this opportunity to help Second Sister reconcile with the Fan family..."

"No! Didn't you just say that you didn't want to trouble the Marquis with everything?" Lady Li's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course, our Li family's business isn't doing well, and we're always troubling the Marquis! But right now, the Marquis can't ignore Second Sister's matter!" Kang Ning said with a smug smile, "Unless he doesn't want Second Sister to enter the family, then for both reason and duty, the Marquis has to step in..."

After saying this, Fu Hui blushed and felt much more at ease.

That's right! I've already decided I'm one of the Marquis's men! Now that something like this has happened, of course I should report it to the Marquis and see what he thinks!

She's just a young woman with a husband to support her, so why should she bother with this trouble herself?

……

"They are both girls from good families!"

"It's simply because my family is poor and we can't make ends meet!"

The next day, inside the main hall of the Fan family mansion, the matchmaker stood respectfully in front of three girls lined up in a row. Fu Hui, meanwhile, sat in the main seat, behaving like the young mistress of the Fan family.

As for Fan Lianghan and Chai An, they sat in the side hall and watched what was happening in the main hall from afar.

"She chose to become a concubine willingly!" the matchmaker said, pointing to the first daughter. "Her parents don't ask for a large sum of money, they just want her to go to a good family to enjoy a comfortable life, with a monthly allowance of one shi (a unit of dry measure) of high-quality rice for two years!"

"There's only one condition: they said we need to have a written agreement first. Their daughter won't be a maid, and she won't be near water or fire!"

"If you ask me, who would bear to let such a beautiful girl do hard labor? Don't you think so?"

The matchmaker sang eloquently, praising the girl to the skies, but Fu Hui, while fanning herself with her fan, revealed a cold smile.

Even without her saying a word, it was clear that she was not satisfied with her first concubine.

The matchmaker was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood and quickly pointed to the second and third candidates, saying, "As for these two, their looks are a little less striking, but their price is only one hundred strings of cash!"

Since Fu Hui was now acting, she naturally wanted to go all out. After listening to the matchmaker's words, she gently waved to the first girl.

After the other person stepped forward, they took her small hand and asked, "How old are you? Can you sing? Are you playing the zither?"

"Look at what you're saying!" The matchmaker immediately became anxious and quickly interjected, "If they all knew music, they wouldn't be this price."

After saying that, the matchmaker turned to the other two girls and said, "You two come forward too, let the lady take a good look at you!"

"Then pour me a cup of tea!" However, Fu Hui didn't even lift her eyelids and spoke directly.

……

"Is this the life-or-death matter you were talking about?" Chai An, sitting in the side hall, stared speechlessly at the scene before him, then turned and glared at his cousin Fan Lianghan before asking.

"Oh, cousin..." Fan Lianghan immediately reverted to his effeminate manner, shaking his head and acting coquettishly towards Chai An.

However, before he could finish speaking, Chai An stood up and wanted to leave.

He originally wanted to see Fu Hui and the tigresses from the Li family make a scene at the Fan residence, but to his surprise, they seemed completely unconcerned, even more so than he was.

Although he was a show-off, he had nothing to show off in front of his cousin and Fu Hui right now. He felt bored here and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, before he could take a step forward, Fan Lianghan grabbed his sleeve again.

"Brother! Brother! Listen to me..." Fan Lianghan called out to Chai An in a voice that gave people goosebumps while holding onto him tightly.

"Father said! I have to ask my cousin before I can do anything! You can't just leave me here!"

This appearance, which seemed to be even more thoroughly castrated than the eunuchs in the palace, made Fu Hui roll her eyes.

Good heavens! Is this really a man? I was really quite tolerant before, actually living in the same compound as this guy for two years.

Although they had never shared a bed, the thought of her nominal husband being like this made Fu Hui feel that the past two years of her life had been completely wasted.

However, Fan Lianghan did not notice Fu Hui's unusual behavior at all, and was still there, clinging to Chai An and acting coquettishly.

Chapter 116 Nighttime Intrusion into the Li Family! The terrified Aunt Shouhua!

"I've been feeling increasingly uneasy these past two days, and the more I think about it, the more scared I get!"

Of course, Chai An was extremely disgusted with his cousin's behavior and immediately wanted to turn around and leave without paying any attention to him.

However, a quick glance revealed that the hem of a red dress was peeking out from under the bamboo curtain in the opposite side hall!

It's quite obvious that a woman is currently hiding behind the bamboo curtain, observing the situation in the hall...

When Fan Lianghan saw Chai An standing there in a daze, he immediately pulled him back to his seat.

After pressing him down to sit, she said anxiously, "Brother! You have to make a decision for me! Should I take this concubine or not?"

"Which one do you like?" Chai An looked carefully at the red dress under the bamboo curtain opposite, then blinked and turned to ask Fan Lianghan.

"Me?" Fan Lianghan was taken aback, then turned to look at the three girls who were to be chosen, and then secretly glanced at Fu Hui, who was sitting in the main seat and calmly fanning herself with a round fan.

For a moment, he seemed hesitant and speechless, standing there in a daze.

However, Fu Hui caught a glimpse of Fan Lianghan out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that this guy was sizing her up, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.

It's as if I care which one you like. According to the plan that Kang Ning brought back after meeting the Marquis yesterday, she just needs to continue acting for now and doesn't care at all what Fan Lianghan is thinking.

"Anyway, none of them are as pretty as my wife!" Fan Lianghan frowned and muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Fu Hui couldn't help but sneer! What's the use of praising me now? In her mind, this blind sissy was already nothing but trash!

Chai An was taken aback, and then rolled his eyes speechlessly.

So it turns out my cousin wasn't blind after all? After all, even Chai An was startled when he first saw Fu Hui's appearance.

Therefore, Chai An has always been puzzled by Fan Lianghan's indifferent attitude towards Fu Hui.

Now that Fu Hui's heart has clearly been captured by another man, he's suddenly become more energetic, remembering how beautiful his wife is.

It's a pity it's already late!

"But Mother said it again!" However, Fan Lianghan was completely oblivious to the changes in Fu Hui and Chai An's expressions, and continued to say to himself, "This is a matter of male dignity! If a man fails to uphold his authority, he will be laughed at!"

"This time, she absolutely has to put in a lot of effort to suppress her wife's arrogance!"

Chai An was speechless after hearing this. "You two, mother and son, just keep acting up! You're about to lose such a beautiful daughter-in-law and you still don't understand!"

"I'm afraid..." Chai An began to speak again, but was interrupted by his cousin after only two words. 540

"You're afraid too?" Fan Lianghan was taken aback. In his mind, his cousin was a fearless man! This was the first time he had ever heard that his cousin was afraid of anything!

"I'm afraid he's inviting you to a trap! You're crossing the gates of hell!"

Fan Lianghan was completely stunned by Chai An's words. After a few seconds, he finally reacted and said, "No, no! My wife never goes back on her promises!"

"Fan Lianghan! Just look at this!" Chai An curled his lip and glared at his cousin speechlessly, saying, "Is your wife today the same as your wife yesterday?"

"It seems different!" Even if Fan Lianghan was an idiot, he should have noticed Fu Hui's change by now. He blinked and said, "My wife hasn't been as fierce or controlling towards me as before these past two days!"

After hearing this, Chai An nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "This kid is still quite sensible after all."

Previously, Fu Hui only had to take care of Fan Lianghan because she was forced by her in-laws. Now, her heart has already flown to another man, so she has no time to pay attention to you.

Thinking about this, Chai An became even more certain that there must be some conspiracy brewing behind Fu Hui and the Li family, so he immediately stood up with a flick of his sleeve.

"What does your sex life have to do with me?" he shouted as he walked straight out, ignoring his cousin's attempts to pull him away. He added, "If you ever try to lie to me again, I'll break your legs!"

"Cousin, cousin!" Seeing that Chai An ignored him and left, Fan Lianghan hesitated for a moment before running out after him.

"Young Master Fan! Young Master Fan!" The matchmaker panicked upon seeing him and chased after him, calling out, "I've brought him here, how can you just decide not to take him in? How can you just leave like that?"

"So that means they weren't chosen!" Fu Hui sneered upon seeing this, and directly said to the maid beside her, "Xiu'er! Take them out to receive their reward, and see them off properly!"

"Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!" Although the matchmaker hadn't earned any money for arranging the marriage, she was overjoyed to hear that there would be an additional reward, and immediately left the main hall with the three equally delighted girls.

After everyone in the hall had left, the bamboo curtain was suddenly lifted, and then Kang Ning, the third daughter of the Li family, came out.

"That guy surnamed Chai is really annoying! He almost ruined everything!" Kang Ning said, picking up his teacup and taking a sip of tea.

“But things are exactly as the Marquis said, down to the last detail!” Fu Hui nodded and said, her eyes sparkling again when she mentioned Wei Tingyu.

"Good sister, now your wish is about to come true!" Kang Ning put down her teacup with a grin, leaned close to Fu Hui's ear and whispered, "The people they arranged over there are already in place, and you'll soon be free from this hellhole of the Fan family!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Fu Hui immediately nodded happily! Putting everything else aside, this was exactly what she had been looking forward to right now!

……

"Everything's settled, why are you still bothering me?" Inside Panlou, Fan Lianghan followed closely behind Chai An like a shadow, much to Chai An's helplessness.

"Brother, you still haven't told me what kind of trap it is!" Fan Lianghan's IQ was at most that of an eight or nine-year-old. He followed Chai An around excitedly and asked, "I can't feel at ease until you tell me!"

"With your straightforward nature, telling you would only cause you more trouble!" Chai An frowned, glared at Fan Lianghan, and then turned and walked forward.

After all, the topic of being cuckolded is far too heavy for a naive person like Fan Lianghan.

It would be better to let him just be a silly little kid; at least he wouldn't have so many worries!

Fan Lianghan was scolded by his cousin and felt very resentful! Standing on the second-floor corridor, he glanced down and saw a woman playing the pipa and singing in the lobby on the first floor.

The little kid's playful nature was immediately drawn to the railing, and he shook off his cousin Chai An, leaning straight against it.

"Who is he?" Fan Lianghan stared at the woman playing the pipa, his eyes practically popping out of his head.

"Business has been good in the building lately, and there are a lot more people vying for seats, all of them unfamiliar faces! How about I go and ask them for you?" Pan Lou's young master, who was standing next to him, glanced at the woman downstairs and then replied.
