Of course, he didn't forget to mutter something sarcastic before he left.

“Of course it’s a blessing!” Wei Tingyu snapped his folding fan shut with a carefree laugh, raised his head and looked at Dou Shishu as he walked away, saying, “But whether this blessing will turn into a curse depends on whether a person has the self-awareness to know better!”

"..." Dou Shishu naturally understood what Wei Tingyu meant, since he had made it very clear before.

If he behaves himself and doesn't cause trouble for him and Dou Zhaotian, then he will naturally be blessed! But if he doesn't heed this good advice, Wei Tingyu has other ways to deal with him!

Dou Shishu, who usually likes to show off, now realizes that he is completely under the control of his niece's husband!

……

"Brother-in-law is so impressive!" At this moment, Wang Yingxue, Dou Zhao and Dou Ming were sitting in Wei Tingyu's carriage.

Dou Ming, the little girl, secretly peeked out from behind the curtains at Wei Tingyu's figure.

She couldn't help but sigh after witnessing what she had just seen.

Of course! Otherwise, how could she have won my heart?! Wang Yingxue silently complained to herself, then quickly tugged at her daughter's sleeve and said, "A young lady should be more dignified! Don't be so impetuous, or your brother-in-law will think you lack manners!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing Wang Yingxue's words, Dou Ming quickly stuck out his little tongue and then obediently sat up straight.

At this moment, she felt that she didn't care about anything else, except for how her brother-in-law looked at her!

"Pfft!" Dou Zhao covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw the scene in front of the mother and daughter.

It wasn't that she didn't want to appear dignified in front of them, but the interaction between Wang Yingxue and Dou Ming was just too comical!

"Zhao'er!" Wang Yingxue turned to look at Dou Zhao after hearing her soft laughter, then said apologetically, "I know... I made some mistakes back then... but that was never my intention... I have been punished for the past ten years..."

"Alright, that's enough!" Dou Zhao nodded subconsciously in response to Wang Yingxue's words, but did they really think things would end so easily? Everyone knew the answer in their hearts!

After hearing Dou Zhao's words, Wang Yingxue was stunned at first, then her eyes darted around, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind!

"Ming'er! Hurry down and greet your brother-in-law as he gets into the car!" She turned to Dou Ming, who was sitting upright, and said.

"Do you really need to go down to greet your brother-in-law for such a short distance?" Dou Ming was taken aback, then looked at Wang Yingxue with some doubt.

"If you don't go to greet him, what if your brother-in-law gets into the car behind?" Wang Yingxue pouted and then said to her daughter, "Don't come crying to me then!"

Since there were too many women present, He Weifang, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru boarded the second carriage at the back.

As for Wei Tingzhen, she had already left earlier in a carriage belonging to the Duke of Jing's mansion.

"Oh!" Dou Ming was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant, quickly nodded, and crawled out.

"Madam Wang, the concubine, greets the eldest daughter of the Marquis's household!" Upon seeing her daughter Dou Ming leave, Wang Yingxue rose without saying a word and knelt before Dou Zhao, then performed a deep bow to her.

This sudden turn of events startled Dou Zhao, and her already large eyes widened even more!

What's going on? Wang Yingxue suddenly pulled this stunt on me? Is she trying to scare me to death?

"What is this...?" Dou Zhao's lips twitched, wanting to ask Wang Yingxue but unable to speak.

After all, she had long seen through the relationship between Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingyu, but she had never made it public. In short, she maintained a tacit understanding that everyone knew about it but did not expose it.

Wang Yingxue's actions at this moment were tantamount to laying everything out in the open!

“Madam is wise, of course she saw it long ago…” Wang Yingxue blinked and looked at Dou Zhao, saying, “But I hope Madam won’t tell Ming’er about this yet, I’m afraid she won’t be able to accept it right away…”

"You don't need to tell me, I certainly won't tell Ming-mei!" Dou Zhao frowned and then said, "But since you know this matter is completely wrong, why do you still do it?"

Since things had already been discussed openly, and Wang Yingxue had adopted a humble attitude towards him as a mistress, Dou Zhao simply asked the question.

"Actually..." At this point, Wang Yingxue's face turned a little red again, and then she quickly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing these words, Dou Zhao's expression grew increasingly surprised.

Good heavens! I never expected that Wang Yingxue was plotting to harm me, but the Marquis saw through my scheme and took her down with him!

This style of doing things is indeed like Wei Tingyu's!

Dou Zhao mentally grumbled a couple of times. There were so many ways to control Wang Yingxue, yet he chose to conquer her in bed… This Marquis…

It's so frustrating, I don't even know where to begin!

However, Wang Yingxue's current state seems to be a form of retribution! After all, she tried to make Dou Zhao lose her virginity, but in the end, she herself lost her virginity to the Marquis! It can only be said that karma is a bitch!

"Now I dare not ask for anything! If you ever get angry and hit or scold me, I will not dare to complain or talk back!" Wang Yingxue's posture was so humble that she was practically in the dust, and Dou Zhao couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Although she still harbors resentment about what happened back then, Wang Yingxue is now truly atoning for her sins with her life.

Moreover, for Dou Ming's sake, Dou Zhao could only sigh helplessly and then extend his hand to her.

"As long as you don't cause trouble for me and the Marquis in the future, let bygones be bygones!"

Upon hearing Dou Zhao's words, Wang Yingxue shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly with delight, expressing her loyalty: "From now on, Madam, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west! In the future, while you serve the Marquis, I will serve you both diligently outside, to atone for my sins of the past!"

I'm serving you, sir, in the room, while you're just standing outside waiting... This scene is a bit...

Upon hearing this, Dou Zhao felt a little dizzy. It seemed that ever since he met the Marquis, everything around him and the world had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Like Wang Yingxue, it seems that her values ​​have changed from before!

……

"Brother-in-law!" Wei Tingyu had just walked to the carriage when he saw Dou Ming, that little girl, lift up the curtain and jump down from the carriage.

"Be careful!" Wei Tingyu was also startled. This girl was wearing a skirt! What if she stepped on it and fell flat on her face? That would be such an embarrassing sight!

Thinking of this, he quickly reached out and scooped the girl, who was leaping in mid-air, into his arms.

Dou Ming was originally rushing towards her brother-in-law with great satisfaction, but she didn't expect that the other party would also open his arms and hug her. Her face immediately turned red.

"Why did you jump down again? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt!" Wei Tingyu gently placed Dou Ming on the ground, then reached out and smoothed her slightly disheveled hair as she spoke.

"I was overjoyed to see my brother-in-law, so I came to greet him as he got into the car!" Dou Ming blushed even more when she saw Wei Tingyu fixing her hair! But she still bravely looked at him and said without hesitation, "Luckily, my brother-in-law loves me the most!"

"Of course my brother-in-law dotes on Ming'er!" Now that their relationship is practically an open secret, Wei Tingyu naturally doesn't need to hold back when facing his sister-in-law, who will officially become his concubine in a few days, and answers directly.

The servants and maids around them lowered their heads even further!

This is outrageous! The brother-in-law and sister-in-law are flirting like this in front of so many people. Do they think everyone is dead?

However, these servants and lackeys also understood that they were all people of this estate, which meant they were all Old Madam Cui's people!

Anyone who dares to speak ill of the Marquis and the two young ladies of the Dou family behind their backs is simply courting death!

Judging from how much the Marquis dotes on the Dou sisters now, if they really anger this big shot who even dares to lay a hand on his father-in-law's fifth uncle, being beaten up and sold off would probably be the best outcome!

"Let's get in the car then, don't keep Mother and Big Sister waiting!" Dou Ming blinked, then turned to leave Wei Tingyu's embrace.

"Wait!" Wei Tingyu suddenly grabbed Dou Ming, pulled the girl back into his arms, and looked at her, saying, "Ming'er, don't you want to be alone with me?"

He had already overheard Dou Zhao and Wang Yingxue's conversation inside the carriage, and naturally, he gave them some space to settle their past grievances.

Dou Ming, with his lovestruck mind, was overjoyed to hear Wei Tingyu's words and realized that his brother-in-law actually wanted to be alone with him, so he forgot everything else.

The fact that his older sister and mother were waiting in the carriage behind him was completely forgotten.

After a while, Wei Tingyu heard that the two women inside had reached a temporary reconciliation, and then led Dou Zhao back onto the carriage.

After entering, Dou Zhao and Wang Yingxue returned to their original positions, wearing smiles as if nothing had happened, and looked at the two who entered.

"Mother! Sister Zhao!" Dou Ming blushed under their gazes and quickly threw himself into Wang Yingxue's arms, then said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Brother-in-law wouldn't let Ming'er come back just now, he insisted on talking to Ming'er..."

Asking for flowers

Of course, she was explaining that it wasn't her own initiative to pester Wei Tingyu that caused the delay, but her words sounded like she was trying to cover something up.

"Is the Marquis really that wicked?!" Dou Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Then let's not waste Ming's youth. How about we just forget about her entering the manor..."

"No!" Dou Ming panicked immediately upon hearing this, quickly broke free from Wang Yingxue's embrace, and threw himself at Dou Zhao, acting coquettishly.

Wang Yingxue took the opportunity to glance at Wei Tingyu. After they exchanged a smile, Wei Tingyu sat down in the main seat.

Since Dou Zhao had specifically arranged for He Weifang, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru to ride in the second carriage so that Wang Yingxue could ride with him, it meant that she already knew about the relationship between the two of them.

Otherwise, this arrangement wouldn't have been possible!

After all, given Wang Yingxue's status, riding in the same carriage as Wei Tingyu would definitely attract some criticism, but she didn't care at the moment!

……

At this moment, in the capital city, a cart pulled by two yellow oxen was swaying and wobbling along the main road.

The passengers inside were Li Niangzi, who had come from out of town to the capital to stay with her married second daughter, and her four other daughters.

The already cramped oxcart was crammed with boxes and bundles of all sizes, making the space feel even smaller and more confined.

"Oh! My arm is numb from being pressed down! Get up, get up!" Third Sister Kang Ning gently woke up Fourth Sister Hao De, who was sleeping soundly with her elbow, while waving a bamboo fan.

"Hmm!" Hao De frowned as he woke up from his sleep, muttering a little dissatisfaction.

Since both sisters were unmarried, they were dressed in youthful and beautiful attire. Wearing light green blouses, they were beauties with completely different styles, though their features were somewhat similar.

The youngest sister, Leshan, was fast asleep next to her two older sisters, her hair styled in adorable double ponytails. She was also wearing a light green dress, but her sleeping posture was quite carefree, lacking any ladylike demeanor.

It was clear that they had endured a long and arduous journey, as the three youngest daughters of the Li family were currently in a daze.

Unlike the three dazed young girls, the matriarch of the Li family, Madam Li, and her eldest daughter, Shouhua, were not overwhelmed by exhaustion. Instead, they were dignified and elegant, organizing the bottles and jars they carried with them.

Although Lady Li already has five daughters, she married young and is currently not yet 40. Dressed in a dark outfit with a red and green color scheme, her demeanor is very proper and elegant, further highlighting her enduring charm!

Although her eldest daughter, Shouhua, is already married, her face remains exceptionally beautiful! She became a widow shortly after her marriage, and the sorrow between her brows, combined with her stunning beauty, makes her unforgettable to any man who has ever seen her, even though she is only in her early twenties!

"Come on! Brush your teeth!"

When Shouhua saw that her fourth sister had woken up, she very considerately handed her a toothbrush.
