If the Moon God gets angry because of this and cuts the red thread between himself and the Marquis, that would be terrible!
"Big sister! Take us to the night market tonight!" Thinking of this, Wu Niang Le Shan's eyes darted around, and then she pounced on Da Niang Shou Hua's side, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly.
"Go to the night market?" Aunt Shouhua was stunned and looked at Fifth Sister with some doubt. She didn't understand why this girl suddenly made this request.
After all, although the Marquis would not confine them to the mansion like prisoners, they could play and go shopping during the day, couldn't they?
It's nighttime, which is different from daytime, so she was still a little worried!
Fourth Sister Haode realized what was going on and quickly nodded, moving closer to the other side of First Sister Shouhua.
"My sister and I also want to buy a Moheluo and make him a beautiful outfit!" Of course, Haode had nothing to hide at this point, so he quickly spoke up again.
"Oh!" This time, not only the eldest sister Shouhua, but all the other sisters understood as well.
No wonder these two girls wanted to go out to the night market to shop.
After all, it would be so embarrassing if someone they knew bumped into two unmarried young girls buying the Mohelu statue!
"Oh what?" Hao De and Le Shan blushed immediately when they heard their older sisters say "Oh" in unison. However, Le Shan still said shyly, "Let's go together! Okay?"
But after she said that, all the older sisters were speechless.
You little brat, you're going to buy the statue of Mahora, and you're going to drag us older sisters along as shields?
"I've heard that a notorious gang of thieves has recently appeared in the city!" At this moment, Second Sister Fu Hui suddenly remembered something important, frowned and said, "They often take advantage of the chaos to rob the children of wealthy families and young and beautiful women!"
When talking about the last young and beautiful girl, Fu Hui reached out and gently tapped the waist of the fifth sister, Le Shan, making the girl immediately shrink back from the ticklish feeling.
Sure enough, even the usually fearless Fifth Sister Le Shan showed a hint of fear on her face after hearing what her second sister said.
After all, although she had a somewhat fierce personality, she knew that as a young woman, she had no way to fight against thieves who committed murder and robbery.
Besides, the big thief is now specifically targeting young and beautiful women. Why is that?
Hearing this, even Aunt Shouhua showed a worried expression.
"Last month, they even kidnapped the only daughter of the Jiang family in the east of the city! The government has posted notices everywhere, but there's still no trace of her!" Seeing that her sisters were listening carefully to her, Fu Hui spoke up again!
"You actually believe that!" Wu Niang Le Shan was indeed a little flustered, but she still stubbornly said, "Isn't this just something someone with a good intentions saying to scare people?"
"I play on the streets every day, and I've never heard of it before!"
"They're all just lying!"
Fourth Sister, Haode, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, indicating that she wanted to go with Fifth Sister.
After all, putting everything else aside, we absolutely must buy back the statue of Mahora! And this is something we can't let a servant do on our behalf; we have to choose it ourselves to show our sincerity! That way, the God of Marriage won't blame us!
With the day they were to enter the Marquis's mansion drawing ever closer, the two women were beginning to feel increasingly anxious.
"Oh! Come on!" Seeing that her older sisters were not saying anything, Fifth Sister Leshan pulled on Second Sister Fu Hui's sleeve and started to act coquettishly again.
Although Second Aunt Fu Hui was worried about her younger sisters' safety, seeing the determined looks on Fifth and Fourth Sisters' faces, she knew that if she forcibly locked them up, the two little girls would probably try to climb over the wall and escape.
Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?
Thinking of this, Fu Hui looked at her eldest sister Shou Hua. After all, with their mother gone, the eldest daughter would definitely be in charge of the Li family.
As for the Marquis... his three younger sisters haven't entered the Marquis's mansion yet, so ultimately they're still not considered members of the Marquis's household.
Moreover, Wei Tingyu has already helped the Li family countless times before, so surely it's not worth bothering the Marquis over such a trivial matter? Even Aunt Shouhua felt that this was going too far!
However, if all the Li family girls ran away in a flash, it would indeed be difficult to explain to the Marquis.
What kind of concubine, after marrying into the family, spends all her time either visiting her parents or taking her younger sister out to play? If the Marquis needs someone to serve her but is never there, that's simply outrageous!
Even if the Marquis doesn't blame them, what will the other wives and concubines in this mansion think? Will they think that the Li sisters are being arrogant because of the Marquis's favor?

Chapter 142 The Li sisters are kidnapped! The Marquis rescues them!
Thinking this through, Aunt Shouhua nodded gently and said to her younger sisters, "I won't go! You all go!"
"But just to be on the safe side, we should bring a few guards with us!"
"After all, there are rumors circulating right now, so we can't be too careless!"
Of course, Shouhua directly stated her requirements so that she could feel a little more at ease!
Seeing that her eldest sister had agreed, Fifth Sister Leshan was overjoyed and turned to look at Second Sister Fuhui.
She knew in her heart that if her eldest sister didn't go, her second sister would definitely go with her, since these older sisters would never allow her and her fourth sister, the two youngest, to go out and play alone!
"Hmm!" Seeing this, Second Aunt Fu Hui knew she couldn't object, so she could only nod helplessly, which was considered an agreement.
Of course, the main reason is what my eldest sister Shouhua just said: taking a few guards from the Marquis's mansion with us should be foolproof!
The prerequisite is that my two youngest sisters don't cause any trouble!
"Fourth sister! Let's go play!" Fifth sister Yue Shan was so happy that she jumped up and down when she saw that she could finally go out and buy a Moheluo statue just like her third sister.
Fourth Sister Haode was also very excited, and the two sisters held hands and started spinning around in the courtyard.
Laughter and cheers filled the entire backyard of the Marquis's mansion.
The laughter also drew the attention of many maids and servants who were working in the nearby courtyard.
The atmosphere in this Marquis's mansion is truly unique!
It should be noted that many of these people had worked in other large mansions before. Needless to say, those mansions were filled with filth and corruption, but even in some relatively better, peaceful mansions, there had never been a situation like that in the Marquis's mansion!
Such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere was something these people had never seen before in their lives!
……
"We must play outside a lot today!" Fifth Sister Leshan stood in the middle with a happy expression, with her arms around Third Sister Kangning on the left and Fourth Sister Haode on the right, and said excitedly.
Night had fallen, and the bustling night market stretched for miles like a golden serpent in the darkness!
The girls from the Li family were having a great time, their bright eyes darting around the stalls, eager to see what other new and fun things they could find.
Of course, they didn't forget their main purpose for the trip. They had already bought all the statues of Mohra, and now all that was left was to stroll around!
"Roast goose! Delicious roast goose!" At this moment, the cry of a roast goose vendor immediately caught Le Shan's attention.
"Roast goose?" The little girl, who was at the age where she was craving something delicious, immediately lit up when she heard the sound. She pulled her two older sisters and ran towards the roast goose vendor.
Second Sister Fu Hui and Qiong Nu walked at the back with smiles on their faces, looking at their three younger sisters' happy appearance with a helpless expression.
Along the way, the three younger sisters would always buy something to eat at every little stall they stopped at, and who knows how much stuff they craved into their little bellies.
They're actually interested in roast goose now? Fu Hui was speechless at this thought!
"You're not full yet?" Third Sister Kang Ning asked Fifth Sister Le Shan, who was holding her arm, with the same thought in mind.
"No!" When Leshan saw her third sister laughing at her, she immediately started to whine and plead, "I want to eat one!"
"You've already eaten so much, stop eating!"
"I'm not going to take care of you anymore if you keep doing this!"
"Oh! Please let me buy one more!"
...The sisters' noisy and laughing appearance was very pleasing to the eye, which of course attracted the attention of the surrounding vendors and passers-by.
After all, it's hard not to attract the attention of those around them when several young, beautiful, and attractive women get together and have fun.
Fortunately, the girls were always accompanied by four Golden Shadow Guards, two men and two women, so even some seemingly reckless people only dared to secretly observe them from the sidelines. No one dared to approach them to chat, let alone flirt with them.
After all, the murderous aura emanating from the Golden Shadow Guards was so strong that even ordinary people could faintly sense the danger emanating from them.
Meanwhile, the Golden Shadow Guards kept their eyes scanning the surroundings, not missing a single suspicious danger.
Some people with ill intentions were so frightened by just a glance at the Golden Shadow Guard that they broke out in a cold sweat and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him again!
However, apart from these people nearby, at the end of the street, a few hundred paces away, two shifty-looking men were secretly peering in this direction.
However, they were too far apart and blended into the crowd, so the Golden Shadow Guard could not possibly have discovered that there were two more rats with malicious intentions here.
Of course, these two mice had no idea that above them, a young man wearing a jade-faced fox mask was watching their every move.
Seeing that things were developing exactly as he had expected, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but smile.
As expected! According to the original plot, the Li sisters will still encounter a minor tribulation!
The inertia in this world is not so easy to break!
……
"Madam! The carriage is ready!" At this moment, a young servant who had accompanied her came running over quickly and said cautiously to the second mistress, Fu Hui.
They didn't take the Marquis's carriage this time, since they were coming to the night market, and the Marquis's carriage was just too conspicuous! They didn't want to be surrounded by onlookers before they even had a chance to enjoy themselves!
"Oh dear..." Upon hearing this, the younger sisters realized that their second aunt, Fu Hui, had just ordered the servants to hire a carriage.
Hiring a horse-drawn carriage meant that their fun for the day had come to an end!
The younger girls, whose playful spirits were far from waning, almost unanimously exclaimed "Oh dear!"
At this moment, Erniang Fuhui knew how difficult it was for her mother, Li Niangzi, and her eldest sister, Shouhua, to get things done every day.
Having now taken on the roles of her mother and eldest sister, she could only shake her head and look at her three younger sisters, saying, "It's getting late, we should head back! How about we stroll around another day?!"
Although her words seemed to be seeking the opinions of her three younger sisters, her tone left no room for argument.
