As the daughter-in-law of the Fan family, Fu Hui was also a part-host of the banquet, so it seemed reasonable for her to personally accompany the distinguished guests...

Wei Tingyu naturally drank the wine offered by Li Niangzi one cup after another. After all, he had a solid foundation of internal strength, and even if he drank ten or eight jars of this low-alcohol fruit wine, it would not have any effect on his mind.

What shocked Kang Ning the most was that her second sister, Fu Hui, was actually helping Wei Tingyu pour wine cup by cup.

This service job... how...

"Third Sister is back!" Kang Ning's appearance naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. Fifth Sister Le Shan was the first to shout, and then everyone's eyes turned to her.

"I went around in circles and got separated from your second sister!" When Li Niangzi saw that her third daughter had also returned, she immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "But look, your second sister is really capable; she even managed to invite the Marquis to our side!"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Fu Hui blushed. After all, she knew best how she had managed to invite the Marquis.

This method must not be revealed to the public!

Kang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then nodded mechanically and said, "I just walked around the backyard for a long time but didn't see Second Sister. I was wondering if she had already returned, but now I see that she must have gone the wrong way..."

As the only person present besides the parties involved who knew that Wei Tingyu and Fu Hui had developed an intimate relationship, Kang Ning's acting skills were passable...

She didn't reveal anything, but her eyes darted back and forth between her second sister and Wei Tingyu.

Fu Hui was initially a little guilty, but after seeing her third sister's scrutinizing gaze, her face immediately turned red again.

Seeing this, Kang Ning couldn't help but complain inwardly.

With acting skills like that? If a few smart and observant people came, they would see through your act in no time!

Fortunately, apart from Kang Ning, most of the people in the house are easygoing and don't have deep thoughts.

The eldest sister, Shouhua, is quite observant, but it's clear she's not thinking about anything else right now!

Thinking of this, Kang Ning mentally complained a couple of times to her second sister. Just as she was wondering whether she should find an opportunity to teach her how to cover her tracks, she suddenly noticed that Wei Tingyu's gaze towards her was a little strange!

Besides scrutiny, there seems to be a hint of mockery in this.

What does this mean? Did he really realize that he was hiding behind the flowers?

Kang Ning was becoming increasingly suspicious, but she couldn't directly ask Wei Tingyu. So she suddenly thought of a good way to probe indirectly.

"Huh?" Kang Ning returned to her seat and looked at her second sister, Fu Hui, with a feigned look of confusion, saying, "Second sister, that flower hairpin in your hair is quite pretty. I don't think you were wearing it before?"

As soon as Kang Ning finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Fu Hui's hair bun.

Sure enough, the hairpin immediately caught their attention!

"I was wondering why Second Sister seemed even more beautiful than before when she came back!" Fifth Sister Leshan quickly nodded and said, "But we still couldn't figure out why. Third Sister is so observant!"

“I didn’t notice it either! But this hairpin is really pretty, and it suits you very well, Second Sister!” Aunt Shouhua nodded and said to Fu Hui with a smile.

How could I not be worthy? This was personally picked and put on me by the Marquis!

Hearing her fifth sister and eldest sister's praise, Fu Hui was overjoyed. She shyly glanced at Wei Tingyu, her heart filled with sweetness.

San Niang Kang Ning carefully observed Wei Tingyu's expression, only to see him with a meaningful smile on his face, and he even winked at her.

In that instant, he was certain! Wei Tingyu definitely knew that he was hiding in the flower bushes!

"All our daughters are as beautiful as flowers! This hairpin would look beautiful on anyone!" Of course, Lady Li did not forget her purpose of showing off her daughters in front of the Marquis, so she quickly took the opportunity to speak.

"Second sister! Let me wear it! Let me wear it!" Fourth Sister Haode was also very envious of the hairpin in Fu Hui's hair and quickly reached out to ask her for it.

"This won't do!" Fu Hui was naturally unhappy when she heard this! Her head was covered with jewels, which one wasn't more valuable than this hairpin? But this 2.4-inch hairpin was personally put on her by the Marquis!

Let alone my fourth sister wanting it, even if the Empress herself asked me for it, Fu Hui wouldn't be willing to part with it!

"Mother! Look how stingy Second Sister is!" When Haode heard that Fu Hui was reluctant to let her wear the hairpin, she immediately pouted and shook Li Niangzi's arm, acting coquettishly.

"There are so many flowers in this yard, why don't you just pick whichever one you like and take it with you? Why do you have to take your second sister's?" Since Li Niangzi had worked so hard to raise her five daughters, she naturally knew the importance of treating them all equally.

So she directly scolded her fourth daughter, Haode, in a low voice!

Although she didn't know why Fu Hui was reluctant to part with the flower, since she had refused, there must be a reason!

As a mother, I can't show favoritism to one child over the other!

"Fourth Sister! Don't you understand? This must have been picked for Second Sister by her husband, that's why she likes it!" Fifth Sister, Le Shan, nodded with the air of a little adult, saying, "If you like it, when you get married, just have your husband pick one for you to wear!"

But Wu Niang Leshan's words, by sheer coincidence, turned out to be correct!

However, this man was not Fan Lianghan, whom Fu Hui was nominally married to, but Wei Tingyu, whom she truly loved!

Thinking of this, Fu Hui's face turned even redder, and her expression seemed to confirm the guess in everyone's eyes.

This time, Fourth Sister's virtue stopped being willful. From her perspective, these flowers were picked by her brother-in-law for her sister! As the younger sister-in-law, she naturally shouldn't ask for them!

Besides, Fan Lianghan, this brother-in-law, is nothing special! Haode always felt that he was not good enough for her second sister, Fuhui!

The thought that he was the one who picked the flowers immediately killed Hao De's interest in asking for them back! (New book released! Please subscribe! Please give flowers! Please tip! Please give a 10/10 rating! Please support me! Please recommend it to your friends~ Thank you!)

Chapter 101 The Li Family Mother and Daughters' Discussion on Wives and Concubines!

"Third sister, you weren't here just now. Second sister was telling us about how she dealt with her husband!" Aunt Shouhua broke the awkward silence, saying, "It sounds very interesting!"

"Oh right! Kang Ning didn't hear, say it again so she can hear too!" At this moment, Li Niangzi also nodded and said, "You should all remember Fu Hui's skill, so that when you marry your husbands in the future, you will know what to do when you encounter such a situation!"

"Let me speak! Let me speak!" Si Niang Haode immediately became interested upon hearing this and quickly raised her hand to speak.

Without waiting for anyone else to reply, she recounted the story of how Fu Hui had described feeding Fan Lianghan boy urine, leaving Kang Ning completely stunned.

She hadn't expected her second sister to come up with such a method. If it were her, she might have considered it, but her second sister's personality was always straightforward and direct! If she wanted to hit or scold, she'd do it directly, not like this…

That's it! It must have been the Marquis who taught her! And it's precisely because the Marquis is backing her up that Second Sister dares to so openly punish Fan Lianghan!

Upon realizing this, Corning suddenly understood and connected all these things.

From this perspective, it seems that her second sister's falling in love with the Marquis was not a whim or a momentary impulse, but rather a genuine result of the Marquis's help.

"Why go through all that trouble?" At this moment, Wu Niang Le Shan shook her cute twin ponytails and said, "In my opinion, the disease of promiscuity is the easiest to cure!"

Everyone present was stunned and turned their eyes to the youngest girl in the room, wanting to see what tricks she had up her sleeve that could be better than her second sister's method of getting Fan Lianghan to drink boy's urine.

"Break his legs! Then tie him to Second Sister's bedside, and he'll naturally behave!" Fifth Sister Leshan, of course, was not one to mince words, and directly revealed her method.

At this, everyone's faces immediately showed a helpless expression.

Good heavens! Rumor has it that your second sister, Fu Hui, is a jealous woman, but it seems your fifth sister has the potential to surpass her! If this gets out, will the Li family's daughters ever be able to get married again?

Li Niangzi quickly looked at Wei Tingyu and saw that he was just smiling faintly. She breathed a sigh of relief and then forced an awkward smile at him.

She wanted to send one of her unmarried daughters into the Marquis's mansion, but the Marquis's mansion would definitely prioritize the stability of the inner courtyard!

There is absolutely no way I would marry a jealous tigress into the household, because if I did, wouldn't the backyard of the Marquis's mansion be in complete chaos?

It seems that his fifth daughter has no chance, and he can only pin his hopes on his third or fourth daughter!

Thinking of this, Li Niangzi looked at Kang Ning and Hao De with a tense gaze, hoping that the two of them would not say anything more that would kill them.

As for the second aunt, Fu Hui, she rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking that her fifth sister really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Who cares about Fan Lianghan's womanizing ways? Let him be a womanizer if he wants to! If it weren't for her mother-in-law and father-in-law forcing Fu Hui to take care of him, she wouldn't have bothered with that good-for-nothing.

Now that she has Wei Tingyu in her heart, she has long since forgotten about Fan Lianghan!

Even if he has a sexually transmitted disease, or even if he has a serious illness, it has nothing to do with me!

As for the so-called breaking of legs and tying them to the headboard... please! Just thinking about it makes Fu Hui feel disgusted and terrified!

Fourth Sister, being virtuous, quickly picked out half an orange and stuffed it into Fifth Sister's mouth, effectively silencing her from saying anything more.

"It seems I'll have to stay away from the Li family's young ladies from now on!" Wei Tingyu couldn't help but laugh at the scene and teased, "Putting everything else aside, who in the entire capital doesn't know about my womanizing ways?"

"If we're not careful, we might accidentally run into Fifth Sister and have our legs broken!"

"That would be such a misunderstanding!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Ming and Fu Hui, the two women beside him, covered their mouths and laughed. Both of them were women who wanted to enter the Marquis's mansion, so they naturally didn't care about the Marquis's philandering.

They even felt a little fortunate; if the Marquis hadn't been so philandering, they wouldn't have had a chance!

"Your Excellency is joking!" Seeing this, Madam Shouhua quickly winked at her fifth sister and then said, "Fifth sister is still young and doesn't know the immensity of the world. She likes to talk nonsense! Your Excellency, please don't take it seriously!"

"Yes, yes! I was just talking nonsense! Please don't blame me, Lord Marquis!" When Wu Niang Le Shan saw the angry looks from her sisters, she immediately shrank back in fear and quickly apologized to Wei Ting Yu.

“It’s not a big deal for a man to be a bit of a womanizer…” But Lady Li, being an experienced woman, quickly smiled and said to everyone present, “It’s simply a matter of natural law, something even a saint couldn’t change!”

"But as long as he can take good care of all his wives and concubines!"

"He was able to keep the inner quarters in order and ensure that his wives and concubines lived in harmony!"

Even if feelings fade, we can still treat each other with respect and avoid arbitrarily beating, scolding, or selling each other!

"A man like this is someone I can entrust my life to!"

Li Niangzi's words seemed to be a heartfelt message to all the girls present, but at the same time, they were also helping Wu Niang Leshan explain to Wei Tingyu.

She had never taught the Li family's daughters to be jealous and shrewish.

The current predicament is basically due to his five daughters' self-taught talents!

"Yes!" After these words were spoken, the daughters of the Li family present all nodded, and even Dou Ming silently felt in his heart that what Lady Li said made a lot of sense.

As for Wei Tingyu, he wasn't surprised by Li Niangzi's words. After all, in this era, even a smart woman like Li Niangzi was simply looking for the most advantageous path for herself and her daughters under the existing social rules.

In a sense, she was not a romantic reformer, but rather a very pragmatic pragmatist.

After all, Li Niangzi couldn't interfere in other people's affairs. All she wanted was for her five daughters to live a happy, fulfilling, peaceful, and prosperous life in the latter half of their lives!
