Of course, the premise is that this person can really make Li Niangzi and her daughters believe that he can give them a bright future, security, and a comfortable life!

"Sigh..." Seeing that both of Wang Yingxue's daughters had married into wealthy and powerful families, Li Niangzi felt a pang of sadness. Her own family's situation was worlds apart from that of her best friend!

Not to mention what will happen to his four daughters who are by his side in the future, he can't even get into the Fan family mansion, the husband's family of his second daughter right now!

"The Fan family is just an ordinary merchant family in the capital. How can they be so arrogant and bullying?" Wang Yingxue was showing off because she had Wei Tingyu backing her up.

Of course, she had to stand up for her best friend at this moment. As she spoke, she winked at Li Niangzi.

Li Niangzi was taken aback, but immediately understood what Wang Yingxue meant.

She turned around and strode to the servant woman from the Fan family who was still covering her face. Then, to her bewildered surprise, she raised her hand and slapped her across the other side of her face with a loud crack!

The servant woman from the Fan family was almost in tears! She had thought she had gotten a good job today where she could show off and make a name for herself, but she never expected to receive a crisp, loud slap on each cheek.

What's most alarming is that this in-law actually seems to have some connection with the Marquis's mansion? This made the servant woman of the Fan family even more terrified.

"My dear in-laws... please calm down!" The servant woman from the Fan family said with a mournful face, "She really isn't home!"

"We didn't go out yesterday! And we won't go out tomorrow!" Lady Li said, pointing at the servant woman from the Fan family in front of her. "What a coincidence, we just arrived and then went out!"

"So my message just went down the wrong path?"

Upon hearing Li Niangzi's accusation, the maid's eyes darted around, but she remained silent. Given the current situation, she could only grit her teeth and endure it to the bitter end.

As for what happens next... we'll report to the master and mistress when they return and let them decide!

"Go back and tell your master!" Lady Li straightened her back, and with a disdainful smile, she looked at the servant woman from the Fan family and said:

“When Second Aunt was at my house, there was absolutely no reason for her not to greet distant guests, not to let them pass by without entering, and not even to offer them a cup of tea!”

"This girl has only been in the Fan family for less than two years, and her widowed mother and sisters don't recognize her at all!"

"This isn't crossing a threshold; it's stepping right into the livestock path!"

"As for that black-hearted, wicked one! Just consider me blind to have raised him for nothing!"

"Go back and tell him! I'd rather beg for food than ever come to the Fan family's door again!"

Now that she had more confidence, Li Niangzi unleashed a torrent of abuse on the entire Fan family, feeling extremely pleased with herself.

Her daughters, including Shouhua, standing behind her, also frowned slightly, their faces serious.

Recalling how her mother had to swallow her anger and force a smile in front of the servants of the Fan family, and then combining that with the exhilarating and cathartic scolding she was giving now, these women experienced for the first time the thrill of power and strength!

Putting everything else aside, just by being associated with the Marquis's Mansion, one's status immediately rises several levels above that of merchants like the Fan family!

"Li Niang, don't worry!" Wang Yingxue came over and whispered in Li Niang's ear, "Take your daughters to my residence for the night, and I guarantee that the entire Fan family will come to beg you to come back with gifts first thing tomorrow morning!"

After hearing her best friend's words, Li Niangzi nodded directly. In fact, she didn't need Wang Yingxue to remind her; she could already foresee how ridiculous the Fan family's behavior would be later.

"I won't bother you at your residence! After all, it's the Dou family, and your master hasn't mentioned it yet..." However, Li Niangzi shook her head and refused Wang Yingxue's suggestion.

"I don't care about those two guys, Dou Laowu and Dou Laoqi!" Wang Yingxue thought to herself, but seeing Li Niangzi's determined look, she could only nod.

After all, not only was Li Niangzi's behavior bold, but she also had a very strong sense of self-respect! Wang Yingxue, her best friend from many years ago, naturally understood this.

I figured my best friend had some spare cash! Finding a hotel for a couple of nights shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, if the Fan family were to be sensible, they would definitely try to persuade the Marquis of Jining to move back to the Fan family residence as soon as they learned that the Marquis of Jining's residence could also establish a connection with Lady Li!

Wang Yingxue was well aware of the shamelessness and quick thinking of merchants.

"Let's go!" Lady Li waved her hand and took the lead in getting into the oxcart she had hired.

After exchanging glances, her daughters followed one by one. Among them, the third daughter, Kang Ning, frowned and stared intently at the gate of the Fan family mansion in front of her.

She could clearly see, through the light filtering through the crack in the door, someone crouching there, peeking out.

It must be my second sister, Fu Hui! I guess she wants to welcome her mother and sisters into the mansion... but as a daughter-in-law of the Fan family, she often has no say in these matters!

"Let's go!" The eldest sister, Shouhua, forced an awkward smile and then tugged at Kangning, saying to her.

After the oxcart followed the Hou family's carriage out of the alley, the gate of the Fan family mansion slowly opened, and a beautiful young woman with a pretty face slowly peeked out from the gate.

Although she was adorned with jewels and wore luxurious clothes made of silk and satin, her expression was filled with sorrow and guilt.

Of course, the Li family mother and daughters on the oxcart did not see this scene. Instead, the curtain of the Hou family carriage at the front was lifted slightly.

"Am I right?" Wei Tingyu asked with his eyes closed.

"It's true! That woman must be Aunt Li's second wife, Fu Hui!" At that moment, Dou Ming, the little girl, was secretly peeking towards the door.

She had just overheard her brother-in-law saying that the young mistress of the Fan family would definitely feel guilty and come out to see her mother and sisters off in their oxcart, so she curiously looked over there and saw this scene.

Good heavens! My brother-in-law is truly a prophet!

"Sigh! It seems she's another poor woman controlled by her husband's family!" Wang Yingxue shook her head, then gently fanned Wei Tingyu as she spoke.

"Sister Fu Hui is too cowardly! If it were me, I wouldn't care what my husband's family thinks! I would definitely come out to greet my mother and sisters!" Dou Ming, however, pouted and said angrily after drawing the curtains, "Fine, they can divorce me! I'm not afraid!"

Her little head just couldn't understand how there could be such a husband's family in the world.

Your daughter-in-law's mother and sisters have come from afar. Regardless of whether they will help you in the future, at least entertain them for now. It's good to save face!

As a result, they were turned away and their daughter-in-law was not allowed to see her biological mother and sisters. This was really too much!

Dou Ming, the little darling, looks down on such a husband's family!

"If everyone in the world were as well-behaved and sensible as Ming'er, things would be much more peaceful!" Wei Tingyu said with a smile when he saw Dou Ming's angry expression.

When Dou Ming heard Wei Tingyu praise him, his face immediately turned red. He then snatched the fragrant fan from his mother Wang Yingxue's hand and started fanning his brother-in-law.

"Hey you..." Wang Yingxue was taken aback, not expecting her daughter to suddenly snatch the fan away, but she smiled helplessly and affectionately.

She wholeheartedly agreed with what Dou Ming had just said, and she knew that although her daughter Dou Ming appeared timid and weak, she also possessed courage within her!

It's just that the time hasn't come yet for it to explode!

……

"Mother!" In the oxcart following behind, Li Jia's fifth sister, Le Shan, was also desperately fanning Li Niangzi, who was leaning against the main seat, with a bamboo fan, while her face was full of worry.

The Fan family's behavior just now really angered the sisters, let alone Li Niangzi, a shrew.

"How pitiful!" However, Lady Li stared blankly at what was in front of her, muttering to herself, "What a pity for my two hundred strings of cash dowry!"

"Two...two hundred strings of cash?!" Upon hearing this, all the daughters present were stunned. Fourth Sister Haode, in particular, leaned forward in shock, her eyes wide as she exclaimed.

Shouhua and Kangning exchanged a silent glance, both of them somewhat shocked by the large dowry their second aunt, Fuhui, had given when she married.

"Keep your voice down!" However, Haode's exclamation pulled Li Niangzi back to reality from her reverie. She quickly glared at her fourth daughter, signaling her not to shout like that.

"What's wrong?" Hao De looked completely bewildered.

Good heavens! My second sister's dowry is a whopping two hundred strings of cash! I wasn't jealous when I heard that, but can't I even be a little surprised?

"What if the people in the carriage ahead hear this..." Lady Li frowned. She could tell what Haode was thinking, and explained helplessly, "People will think that all the daughters of the Li family are obsessed with money!"

"Mother is right!" The eldest daughter, Shouhua, nodded and said, "After all, they are related to the Marquis's family! We shouldn't always seem like we're covered in money! That would be too embarrassing!"

Chapter 92 Power is blinding! The Li family mother and daughter finally realize their feelings!

"But Mother! Isn't Madam Dou your childhood best friend? She wouldn't look down on us!" The fifth daughter, Leshan, blinked and said with a puzzled look, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped in to help us out of that predicament!"

"What do you know?" Lady Li was far more astute than her five daughters. She frowned and said, "Do you really think that there were only my best friend and her daughter in that Marquis's carriage just now?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Li Niangzi's words, the four daughters were taken aback, as they had never actually thought about this question before.

After all, weren't only Wang Yingxue and Dou Ming the ones who got off the bus? If there were other people, why didn't they get off?

"Mother! You mean the Marquis of Jining might have been in the carriage at the time?" Among the sisters, the third sister, Kang Ning, was the most intelligent. Her eyes lit up and she immediately thought of this possibility.

"It's not possible!" Lady Li curled her lips and looked at her third daughter with some satisfaction.

At the same time, she thought to herself that it was fortunate that one of her girls had inherited her intelligence!

"The Marquis of Jining must have been in the carriage at the time!" Lady Li said firmly, enunciating each word clearly.

"Huh?" All four daughters were completely dumbfounded!

This is a marquis! He's been a legendary figure in their lives since they were little!

After all, people of noble rank are rarely seen outside the capital! These young ladies from wealthy families can only occasionally hear about these fascinating nobles in stories and novels.

So the four daughters never dared to think in that direction from the beginning!

However, after hearing their mother's words, they all instantly understood the reason behind it!

That's right! To put it bluntly, the relationship between Wang Yingxue and Dou Ming and the Marquis's mansion is that of a concubine and her mother. To be honest, they can't even be considered real mothers-in-law!

And they weren't even officially married yet! Under these circumstances, how could they possibly parade around in the city in the Marquis's carriage?

The only explanation is that the true master of the Marquis's mansion must be inside this carriage! It's either the Marquis himself or his legal wife!

If it's the First Madam, then she's Wang Yingxue's stepdaughter! There's no reason she wouldn't come down and greet us!

That leaves only one possibility: the person in the carriage is the Marquis!

They simply didn't want to deal with a merchant family like ours who had come from afar to visit relatives!

However, what they didn't know at the moment was that Wei Tingyu didn't get out of the car simply because he was too lazy to get involved in these women's affairs! After all, there was no real danger that could threaten their lives!

He thought it was because his status was too far inferior to that of the Marquis of Jining's family, and that they wouldn't bother to meet him!
