However, Third Sister Kang Ning acted quickly. In just a short while, she actually managed to cut the rope binding her wrists with a broken peach slice.
With her hands freed, she didn't stop and immediately tried to remove the blindfold from her face.
Seeing this, Wei Tingyu quickly stepped back and pushed himself out the door, hiding by the door to secretly observe the two women's next move.
Of course, because Wei Tingyu was extremely fast, by the time Kang Ning took off his blindfold, he had already disappeared from Kang Ning's sight.
Corning blinked, slowly adjusting to his surroundings.
A look of confusion crossed her face at first, then she quickly pulled the cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Then he quickly untied his second sister, Fu Hui, who was still trembling beside him.
Fu Hui's blindfold was removed without her knowledge, and her eyes showed a look of fear.
Only after seeing that it was his third sister who had untied him did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed than before!
Even if these two defenseless women were untied, what way could they possibly escape from so many villains guarding them?
Wei Tingyu's curiosity grew even stronger.
"Third Sister! Listen to what your elder sister has to say!" At this moment, Second Sister Fu Hui finally calmed down. She looked at her third younger sister, who was nervously untying the ropes on her wrists, and said, "It would be a blessing if we could escape!"
"Hmm!" Third Sister Kang Ning was a little puzzled after hearing her second sister's words. She was working so hard because she wanted to find a way to escape with her.
But seeing the serious expression on her second sister's face, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“If we can’t escape…” However, what Erniang Fu Hui said next made Kang Ning pause for a moment. She pursed her lips, frowned, and said in a trembling voice, “We can’t risk our lives! Let him have whatever he wants!”
This stunned Third Sister Kang Ning, and even the hand that was untying Second Sister's knots stopped involuntarily.
She looked at her second sister, somewhat bewildered, carefully trying to understand the meaning behind her words.
Can't we fight to the death? Should we just let the other side have their way in everything?
The second sister's words clearly indicated that her own survival was the priority, and chastity was secondary!
In reality, Kang Ning was not a simple-minded woman. Although she was taught from a young age that female chastity was the most important thing, she had never really thought about how she would choose when it came to her life.
"Gold, silver, and jewels are worthless! Chastity is nothing! The important thing is to stay alive so you can go back to see your mother and sisters!" Fu Hui's voice trembled slightly as she said this.
Just by looking at the expression on her face, you could tell that although she was saying these words, she was still instinctively terrified.
But as the older sister, she had to be brave in front of her third younger sister!
“But what about the Marquis…” Third Sister Kang Ning nodded, then subconsciously asked, “What about Sister?”
If she could disregard her chastity and stay alive to see her mother and sisters, it would be a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. At worst, she could remain unmarried for the rest of her life, stay at her parents' home to accompany her mother in her old age and see her off in death.
But the problem is that my second sister, Fu Hui, has already entered the Marquis's mansion. If such a thing really happens, how will she face the Marquis?
"What I just said was for you. You must remember to stay alive and get back!" Second Sister Fu Hui had already thought of this, and she looked at her third sister with a determined expression and said.
"Me?" Upon hearing her second sister's words and seeing her expression, Kang Ning panicked, as she had already sensed what her second sister meant.
"And what about you, Second Sister?" she asked immediately, her brows furrowing as she thought of this.
She didn't even dare to think about what her second sister was planning!
"Since I am the Marquis's woman, I will not tolerate anyone violating me!" However, Second Madam Fu Hui took a deep breath, and then actually pulled a hairpin from her hair, trembling slightly, and pointed it at her fair and slender neck.
"Second sister!" Kang Ning was terrified when she saw this situation. She quickly reached out and grabbed her sister Fu Hui, afraid that she would do something foolish.
Of course, Wei Tingyu, who was secretly watching all this from outside the door, was also shocked by Fu Hui's steadfastness.
His hands were already prepared. If this little girl really panicked and tried to commit suicide, he would definitely stop her no matter what!
"Third sister, you are different from me. You haven't married into the Marquis's mansion yet!" Seeing Kang Ning holding her hand with a look of fear on her face, Fu Hui forced a smile and said, "Afterwards, you will be the only one who can fulfill my filial duties to Mother!"
"Please also tell the Marquis that Fu Hui did right by him until her death!"
Of course, Fu Hui spoke these words fluently on the surface, but she was already terrified inside, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Kang Ning was shocked. She wanted to dissuade her sister but didn't know how to start.
Given the current situation, it seems that this is the only way to handle it!
Today, the thieves will be rounded up by the authorities, but the Li family's innocence will never be as flawless as before!
The gossip and pointing fingers from those around her might just crush her!
The Li family's life in the capital will likely become even more difficult!
If Fu Hui, a woman who had already married into the Marquis's household, had not died for her principles, then the entire Marquis's household would have been ridiculed by the nobility.
Not to mention that she would be letting the Marquis down in this respect, even her eldest sister Shouhua would be ashamed to face the other ladies and concubines in the Marquis's mansion in the future!
However, if the second sister commits suicide now to preserve her innocence, then others will say that the Marquis's second daughter is steadfast and fearless of death!
Instead, it became a topic of conversation that brought glory to the Marquis's mansion!
Based on this alone, it's impossible for the Marquis to neglect his mother and Fourth and Fifth Sisters. Even his eldest sister, Shouhua, can live with her head held high in the Marquis's mansion!
Although she might be criticized by others, she was not related to the Marquis's mansion after all. At most, she would be ridiculed and then she would remain unmarried for the rest of her life to care for her mother in her old age and see her off in death!
No matter how you look at it, this is the best solution right now!
However, to achieve this, the second sister, Fu Hui, must sacrifice her life as the price!
Thinking of this, tears welled up in San Niang Kang Ning's eyes! She truly wanted to die in place of her second sister Fu Hui, but alas, even if she died, it would be of no use!
Not knowing what to do, Kang Ning held her second sister's hand tightly, not daring to let her do anything foolish.
Second Sister Fu Hui tried to break free from Third Sister's grasp, but found that she couldn't. Knowing that Third Sister was unwilling to die, the two women immediately hugged each other and burst into tears!
This scene shocked Wei Tingyu, who was standing outside the door!
According to the original plot he had seen before, Fu Hui here should have told her third sister Kang Ning that both of them should save their lives and go back, without ever considering the option of sacrificing their lives to preserve their chastity!
However, she still hopes that her third sister can live, but for herself, she has chosen the other extreme!
It seems that Fu Hui's mindset has really changed after marrying into the Marquis's family!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's simply impossible for Fan Lianghan to get Fu Hui to die for him!
But things were different after they followed me!
As the saying goes, a woman will marry the one who pleases her; a man will die for the one who understands him!
It seems that women are incredibly brave when they meet a true love! Death can even be their top priority sometimes!
Of course, there was also the consideration for the Li family. Fu Hui was risking her life to try to carve out a place for Li Niangzi and her sisters in the Marquis's mansion!
Although Wei Tingyu understood this point, he naturally couldn't blame Fu Hui for being scheming at this time!
Because this is what true humanity is all about! Fu Hui's choice merely proves that she is a normal human being!
Of course, the sisterly affection between the second sister Fu Hui and the third sister Kang Ning also deeply moved Wei Tingyu.
The sight of the two women crying pitifully with tears streaming down their faces made him feel even more reluctant to let them go.
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu deliberately kicked the door frame next to him, making a sound.
The two women who were crying inside were startled when they heard this. In their minds, it must mean that the villain who was guarding them had returned.
If he sees that my sister and I are untied, that would be terrible! He'll definitely keep a much tighter watch on us from now on, and there won't be any chance of us escaping!
Realizing this, the two sisters immediately helped each other gag themselves again, put on blindfolds, and casually wrapped the cut rope around their wrists to create the illusion that they were still bound.
After all, the light in this dilapidated house was not bright, and it would not be noticeable unless you looked closely!
Before blindfolding herself, Third Sister Kang Ning, after a moment's thought, took a silver hairpin from her hair and hid it in her sleeve.
Of course, this scene did not escape Wei Tingyu's eyes.
Seeing that the two women were almost ready, he swaggered into the room, deliberately making his footsteps louder.
Upon hearing the man's heavy footsteps, the two women shuddered and pressed themselves even closer together!
When Wei Tingyu saw the two sisters trembling and helpless, she felt even more pity for them!
It's fortunate that I came along; otherwise, what would have happened if these two delicate beauties had fallen into the hands of this villain? It's unimaginable!
Even if they didn't have any lustful thoughts at the time, it's hard to say what would happen after they had eaten and drunk their fill at night.
However, Wei Tingyu also wanted to teach Fu Hui and Kang Ning a lesson, since ordering all the Golden Shadow Guards around him to go and protect his two youngest sisters was indeed too hasty.
Fu Hui and Kang Ning, as the older sisters, naturally wanted to take care of their younger sister, but on the streets of the capital, in the dead of night, and with rumors of notorious thieves lurking in the streets, would they really be so careless today?
We absolutely must teach them a lesson!
Especially that little girl, Kang Ning, seems to be ignoring me quite a bit lately!
Although Wei Tingyu knew she was feigning modesty and actually harbored feelings for him, he worried that if this trend wasn't curbed, what if this girl corrupted his other wives and concubines after entering the Marquis's mansion?
Wouldn't that cause chaos? My peaceful and happy life would be ruined!
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu slowly squatted down, looked at the two pretty faces in front of her that were covered with tear stains, and then reached out and gently pinched their cheeks.
As expected, this ambiguous gesture immediately provoked a strong reaction from the two women. After all, if someone dared to flirt with them like this, then what would happen next was definitely...
Upon realizing this, the two women immediately shrank back in terror!
Wei Tingyu smiled faintly and lowered his voice, saying, "These two girls are quite good! You did a great job!"
"But it's such a waste to sell them to pleasure boats in Jiangnan like this!"
"This skin is so delicate and tender, why don't I, the Great King, enjoy it tonight..."
