"Go quickly!" Fan Lianghan waved his hand immediately, signaling his servant to go and find out about the woman's background!
"Brother, you come and go every day, haven't you noticed that the woman's features resemble my wife's a little?" Fan Lianghan asked while staring at the woman singing below.
At this moment, however, his gaze was completely drawn to the woman below, and he didn't even glance at Chai An while speaking.
Chai An rolled his eyes helplessly behind him.
Even if she does resemble Fu Hui by a third, so what? Her heart has already flown to Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining! Are you interested in women who look like her?
This is truly putting the cart before the horse and buying the box while returning the pearl! Chai An was also quite puzzled at this moment, wondering how his cousin could be so stupid.
"Get up!" Thinking of this, Chai An stepped forward and kicked Fan Lianghan hard in the buttocks.
"Brother! With your temper, even if you married a wife, you'd freeze her to death with just a few words! You couldn't even fit ten coffins in one!" Fan Lianghan was kicked in the buttocks, but he still didn't get up. Instead, he stared blankly at the woman singing below and said.
……
"My lord, I've found out everything!" the servant reported to Chai An after nightfall.
"That real mother lives on the south side street ahead."
"I was originally going to Gwangju to visit relatives, but I got separated from them halfway there."
"I was tricked by a wicked man, which is why I ended up in prostitution!"
"Upon hearing this, Fan Langjun became anxious and, with tears in his eyes, paid the ransom for her."
"Both sides have agreed that she will be welcomed into the house by sedan chair tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Xiao Si's words, Chai An frowned, pondered for a few seconds, and blurted out, "That's not right!"
"Does the young master have suspicions?" The young man was taken aback, then quickly asked.
"I don't know either! My gut feeling is that something's wrong!" Chai An's eyes darted around, but he still couldn't figure it out. He said directly, "This reckless fool is probably about to commit some terrible mistake!"
"Shall I go and investigate again?" the young man asked hastily.
"We're going to the manor tomorrow, how can we possibly investigate now?" Chai An frowned, feeling that there was nothing he could do but pray to the gods for protection.
I just hope I'm overthinking it, otherwise my brain-dead cousin Fan Lianghan is really in big trouble.
……
At this moment, in the front hall of Sifu Tea House, which was already closed, three figures were gathered together examining a small plate of dim sum in front of them.
It was none other than the eldest aunt Shouhua, the third aunt Kangning, and the family's adopted daughter Qiongnu.
As for Li Niangzi, she has already retired with Er Niang Fu Hui, Si Niang Hao De, and Wu Niang Le Shan.
Just as the three women were whispering to each other, there was a sudden knocking on the door from the outside.
"Who?" Third Sister Kang Ning was the most alert and quickly glanced in the direction of the door. She could vaguely see the outline of a figure standing in front of the door through the window.
"It's so late... who could it be?" Aunt Shouhua frowned slightly.
"Could it be some kind of bad person?" Qiongnu was the adopted daughter of the Li family, and also the most insecure. She instinctively hugged her arms tightly, and a hint of tension and fear appeared in her eyes.
"This is the capital city, what kind of villain would dare to be so bold?" However, Third Sister Kang Ning thought for a moment, and then heard a low whistle coming from outside the door. Then she laughed.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Shouhua and Qiongnu, she walked straight to the door and opened it.
The two women were dumbfounded by this scene. They didn't even know who the other person was, so how could he just open the door?
Even though the capital city is very safe, it's already dark! Opening the door to strangers right now is always a risky thing to do!
Moreover, the Li family consists entirely of women; there isn't a single man in the household!
However, as the door slowly opened, Shouhua and Qiongnu froze on the spot!
Because what appeared before their eyes was a young man wearing a jade-faced fox mask!
The most crucial thing was that after Kang Ning opened the door, he actually stepped aside and invited this handsome, foxy young man in.
Could this person be my third sister's friend? Impossible! When did my third sister have friends in the capital?
Aunt Shouhua frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy about the situation! She was especially surprised when her third sister suddenly slammed the door shut after the handsome, foxy young man entered the room.
Good heavens! This Li family courtyard is full of women. If they let an outsider in so late at night, it will be hard to explain if someone sees him!
Moreover, all five daughters of the Li family are already engaged to the Marquis. If this gets back to the ears of the Marquis of Jining, what will become of them?
Upon hearing this, Shouhua's expression changed. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed his third sister. He then disregarded his fear of the suddenly arriving Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman and pulled him a few steps away.
"Big sister..." Kang Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shouhua, who was full of tension, with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'd like to ask you what you're doing!" Shouhua frowned, then adopted the air of an elder sister and reprimanded Kang Ning, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Letting a stranger into our courtyard so late at night, what will happen if the Marquis finds out?"
"Lord Marquis?" Kang Ning was taken aback, then opened her mouth in surprise, but immediately understood after seeing her elder sister's nervous expression.
Yes! I went to the Marquis's residence to see Wei Tingyu during the day and made an appointment to meet him tonight. Then, he used a whistle as a signal for me to open the door.
But neither the eldest sister nor Qiongnu knew about this, which explains why they were so nervous right now.
However, Kang Ning suddenly became interested and wanted to tease her eldest sister, who always seemed so serious. So she smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If the Marquis doesn't want us anymore, we can just break off the engagement..."
"What did you say?" Aunt Shouhua almost fainted upon hearing this, thinking to herself, why is my third sister being so troublesome today?
In the afternoon, the Marquis's residence even delivered the betrothal gifts! The matter was now a done deal. Although it hadn't been made public, it was absolutely impossible to annul the engagement so easily now!
"Whoever this person is, get rid of him quickly!" Thinking of this, Shouhua frowned and said to Kangning, "Don't be willful and harm Mother and the sisters!"
"Big sister! Am I that kind of person?" Kang Ning laughed speechlessly upon hearing this. So this is what happens when you're too concerned to think straight! The eldest sister suddenly saw an outsider being led into the Li family's courtyard and immediately forgot all about her worries!
"..." Kang Ning's words did indeed leave Shouhua stunned for a moment.
That's right! Kang Ning's love for her mother and sisters is no less than her own! And she has never done anything to tarnish the Li family's reputation...
Moreover, after being engaged to the Marquis, she still dared to secretly meet with another man... How could Kang Ning be so foolish?!
“My lord…” Kang Ning smiled when he saw his elder sister Shouhua’s bewildered expression, then turned to the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman and said, “If you don’t reveal your true colors soon, I’ll be wrongly accused to death!”
"Who knows, my older sister might even tie me up and throw me into a pig cage!"
"Lord...Lord..." Shouhua was stunned upon hearing Kang Ning's words. It took him a few seconds to react, and he even stammered slightly, which was unusual for him.
"This is... Lord Marquis?" Shouhua blinked, glanced at his third sister, and then turned his gaze to the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman.
You know what, his figure is exactly the same as Wei Tingyu in Shouhua's memory!
But since he's wearing a mask right now, Shouhua isn't sure...
Wei Tingyu, standing to the side, watched the spectacle unfold, but his heart ached even more for Shouhua.
Looking at Kang Ning's pitiful expression, as if he had been wronged, he shook his head helplessly and then reached out to remove the mask from his face.
"My lord!" After seeing Wei Tingyu's face with her own eyes, Aunt Shouhua finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It's clear that the tension she felt just moments ago has vanished in an instant!
However, she still rolled her eyes at her younger sister Kang Ning, then slowly stepped forward and bowed slightly to Wei Tingyu, saying, "This concubine greets Your Excellency!"
The betrothal gifts have already been received; only the concubine's contract hasn't been written yet. Therefore, Kang Ning and Shou Hua are of the same status and can both be considered Wei Tingyu's fiancées... no, strictly speaking, they should be his concubines...

Chapter 117 A passionate kiss between Third Sister Kang Ning! Was it witnessed by First Sister Shouhua?!
Recalling their encounter in the private room on the second floor of Sifu Tea House yesterday noon, only a dozen hours had passed, but Shouhua's feelings when she saw Wei Tingyu again were completely different!
At this moment, she even became unusually shy, and her face turned slightly red.
"No need for such formalities, ma'am!" Seeing such a lovely and beautiful young woman in front of him like this, how could Wei Tingyu bear it? He quickly reached out to help Shouhua up.
The moment Wei Tingyu's large hand touched her soft hand, Shouhua's delicate body visibly trembled.
However, she suppressed her shyness and did not pull her hand back, but let Wei Tingyu help her up.
This scene, witnessed by Kang Ning, made the girl roll her eyes repeatedly.
Good grief! Just a moment ago you were terrified of this guy! You wanted to be miles away from him... and now you're secretly holding hands?!
As expected, the eldest sister had long harbored feelings for the Marquis! She just hadn't said anything before!
Hmph! They've been hiding it pretty well!
After Shouhua got up, she tried to pull her soft hand back from Wei Tingyu's big hand with a little force.
However, Wei Tingyu was naturally prepared and had no intention of letting this young woman go.
Shouhua tried twice but found there was no chance to pull her little hand back, so she lowered her head with a blush on her face.
As for those soft hands, let the other person hold them if they like!
Now that the betrothal gifts have been received, I'm no longer anyone's woman but the Marquis's!
"Why did the Marquis... come to visit so suddenly at night..." Of course, in order to break the awkwardness of being watched by Kang Ning and Qiong Nu, Shouhua asked softly with her red lips slightly parted.
Good heavens! This young woman is so irresistible! After just a few words in front of him, Wei Tingyu felt a fragrant breeze wafting over him!
Indeed, I've always felt that among the five daughters of the Li family, the eldest, Shouhua, is the most senior and beautiful! Seeing her shy appearance up close now only reinforces that feeling!
"Lord Marquis?" Shouhua had been keeping her head down, but when she heard that Wei Tingyu hadn't responded to her question for a while, she curiously raised her head and met his direct gaze.
When their eyes met, Shouhua froze on the spot! This was the first time in Shouhua's life that she had ever looked at a man so closely like this!
