Good heavens! This young woman's smile... her tone... she's absolutely seductive!
Do I want to stay a little longer?
"I'm not leaving tonight!" Wei Tingyu blinked and said with a smile to Shouhua and Kangning as he thought of this.
The two sisters were completely dumbfounded when he finished speaking!
Goodness! They had initially thought Wei Tingyu wanted to spend more time with her two sisters, and they were secretly delighted.
But judging from the current situation, it seems the Marquis wants even more!
Although the marriage between the two and the Marquis has been arranged, they haven't officially entered the marriage hall yet. So what should be done about the remaining marriages?
Kang Ning was a virgin who had never been engaged before. After standing there for a few seconds, she suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized what was happening.
The girl's eyes darted around, and she quickly pulled her delicate hand away from Wei Tingyu's large hand.
"Then... please serve the Marquis, elder sister! I'll rest now!" After understanding what Wei Tingyu wanted to do, Kang Ning naturally dared not linger any longer. She lifted her skirt and turned to run towards the back room.
At the same time, she kept apologizing to her eldest sister, Shouhua, in her heart.
It's not that my sister is disloyal, it's just that I wasn't mentally prepared!
Besides, in this kind of situation... even if the five sisters entered the Marquis's mansion at the same time, the eldest sister, Shouhua, should be the one to serve the Marquis on the first night! It shouldn't be her turn, the third sister!
"Third Sister...you..." Just as Kang Ning reached the door of the back room, she happened to run into Qiong Nu, who was returning from behind. However, before the girl could finish her sentence, Kang Ning grabbed her wrist and pulled her back behind.
"..." Aunt Shouhua was also stunned by her sister's series of actions. When she came to her senses, she found that Kang Ning had already disappeared with Qiong Nu.
Now, only he and Wei Tingyu were left alone in this huge front hall.
Then, considering that he had just said he wouldn't leave tonight, wouldn't that mean I really had to stay and serve him?
But... Shouhua felt shy and embarrassed when she thought of this, because she wasn't mentally prepared at all!
“My lord…” Shouhua felt Wei Tingyu holding her small hand tightly, knowing she couldn’t pull away, so she could only sigh inwardly and then said, “We don’t have any extra rooms here…”
After all, Sifu Tea House is just a place that sells snacks and tea, not an inn, so it doesn't have any extra rooms.
"That old lady's boudoir..." Wei Tingyu chuckled upon hearing this. How could someone come up with such a lame excuse?
However, the best way to dispel these excuses is to be sincere! So he bent down and whispered in Shouhua's ear, "May I stay the night with you?"
"..." Shouhua heard Wei Tingyu's words in her ear, and at the same time, the hot breath from his mouth and nose sprayed on her fair and smooth neck, which made her heart beat faster.
In particular, their hair inevitably touched each other at this moment, which is what is called "whispering in each other's ears" in the storybook.
Shouhua felt her legs go weak! But as the eldest sister of the Li family, she still retained a sliver of reason!
"My lord, please don't do this..." Despite going against her body's instincts, Shouhua still spoke softly with her eyes closed, "If my sisters find out tomorrow, they'll laugh at you..."
"What's so funny about that?" Wei Tingyu chuckled. "Or perhaps tomorrow morning, I'll ask Lady Li for your concubine's contract!"
After saying this, without waiting for Shouhua's reaction, Wei Tingyu bent down and hugged the beautiful young woman in his arms.
Then he strode directly towards the backyard.
"Lord Marquis..." Shouhua was suddenly startled, and after feeling himself fly up as if riding the clouds, he completely gave up resisting.
"The room on the left..." To prevent Wei Tingyu from carrying her into her mother's or sisters' rooms, she even deliberately cleared a path for them.
Wei Tingyu, of course, understood perfectly, and carried the beautiful young woman in his arms into her boudoir.
……
"What are you looking at, Third Sister?" Qiongnu tugged at Kang Ning's sleeve as she peeked out through the crack in the door and asked in a low voice.
"Shh!" Kang Ning didn't even turn her head, but whispered, "Don't make a sound... it wouldn't be good if you woke up the sisters!"
The layout of the backyard of Sifu Teahouse is as follows: Lady Li and her two married daughters each have a single room to live in.
Kangning, Haode, Leshan, and their adopted daughter Qiongnu, who were not yet married, shared a large room.
After hearing Kang Ning's words, Qiong Nu turned around and looked at Hao De and Le Shan, who were sleeping soundly on the bed, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Although she was somewhat confused at the moment, it was clear that something strange was happening outside.
Because she clearly saw that Kang Ning's expression was quite tense when he was peeking!
Of course, at this moment, Kang Ning's heart was beating much faster than Qiong Nu thought, because she also knew that her current behavior was absolutely rude.
Especially since the person he was spying on was his own older sister, Shouhua!
Thinking back to when he had spied on his second sister Fu Hui and the Marquis's private affairs in the backyard of the Fan family, he realized that things had gone even further, and he could now even peek into the Marquis and his eldest sister Shou Hua's bedroom affairs!
After seeing Wei Tingyu lightly carry his eldest sister Shouhua into the opposite room and then close the door, Kang Ning straightened up with a dazed expression.
Qiongnu seized the opportunity to quickly peek through the crack in the door, only to find that there was no one outside.
"Third Sister...you..." Qiongnu blinked, then looked back at Kang Ning, wanting to ask again.
"Don't say anything more..." However, Kang Ning simply shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Go to sleep..."
Without waiting for Qiongnu to react, she went straight back to her bed.
……
A full hour later, the clouds and rain in Shouhua's boudoir finally cleared up.
"My lord!" Shouhua lay half-reclined on Wei Tingyu's shoulder with her eyes slightly closed, waiting for her breathing to become even.
"What?" Wei Tingyu found it somewhat amusing. Why did it seem like all his wives and concubines were like this after their first time making love?
"I can give you everything..." Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's response, Kang Ning immediately opened her beautiful eyes and looked up at his profile.
However, she didn't say it too bluntly, after all, she didn't want Wei Tingyu to feel that she was forcing him to take responsibility.
"Don't worry!" Wei Tingyu admitted that he was a jerk, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would back out after doing something wrong!
These three simple words completely calmed Shouhua's previously uneasy heart.
Even she herself didn't understand why she trusted Wei Tingyu's words so much! He made a casual promise, and Shouhua believed it wholeheartedly, without a doubt!
"Please remember tomorrow, Lord Marquis..." Of course, although she believed that Wei Tingyu would definitely take responsibility, there was something Shouhua still felt she had to remind him of, so she said again, "Ask Mother for my concubine contract!"
It should be noted that Shouhua has always been a very well-educated and sensible young lady from a prominent family. She had only reluctantly agreed to Wei Tingyu's request after he had half-heartedly pushed her.
If it were up to her own conscience, she would never have willingly given herself to the other party before the concubine contract was signed.
Now that the die is cast, there's no point in regretting it!
The calm Shouhua's only hope right now is to quickly take remedial action.
With the concubine contract in hand, her status as a concubine in the Marquis's mansion was secured! So even if she stayed to serve Wei Tingyu every night, Shouhua wouldn't feel any psychological pressure!
"Don't worry! There's no need for you to remind me!" Of course, besides nodding in agreement, Wei Tingyu also changed his way of addressing Shouhua.
Wife?!
Shouhua was secretly delighted when she heard Wei Tingyu address her in that way!
That's right! I'm already Wei Tingyu's woman! After signing the concubine contract with my mother first thing tomorrow morning, I'll be a proper and respectable concubine of the Marquis's mansion!
From now on, I can stand confidently beside Wei Tingyu without worrying about any rumors or strange looks!
Thinking of this, Shouhua couldn't help but smile, and she giggled as she lay in Wei Tingyu's arms.
Yes! Even the most virtuous and serene woman is still, at her core, a human being! She experiences joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and naturally laughs and cries!
When Wei Tingyu saw that Shouhua in his arms was showing such a girlish side, he felt very gratified.
After all, the fact that she can present this completely different true self to me, which is entirely different from how she appears to outsiders, proves that I feel completely safe with her around.
……
"Alright, alright! Get up, everyone!" The next morning, Li Niangzi began counting the number of her daughters in the backyard.
Meanwhile, Second Sister Fu Hui, Third Sister Kang Ning, Fourth Sister Hao De, Fifth Sister Le Shan, and Qiong Nu had all gathered around her, chattering and laughing as they discussed whether their clothes looked good.
Li Niangzi was naturally used to this chaotic scene. She turned her head and looked around, and found that her eldest daughter, Shouhua, had not gotten up.
There's no reason for this! My eldest daughter, Shouhua, is always the earliest riser, so why is she still sleeping in today?
"Where is Madam?" Thinking of this, Li Niangzi turned to look at her daughters and asked, "Could she have already gone to the front hall?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old servant walked in from the front yard and gently shook his head at Lady Li.
She naturally heard Li Niangzi's question, and this behavior was a way of telling her that Shouhua was not in the front hall.

Chapter 120 Lady Li catches her husband cheating? Shouhua officially becomes a concubine!
"Looks like she's still in bed!" Lady Li was taken aback, then her brows furrowed. "Today is a big day for her second sister, and the Marquis will be there in person. Why is she still sleeping in? Really..."
After saying this, Li Niangzi ignored the reactions of others and turned to go into Shouhua's room, muttering to herself, "The shop hasn't been open for the past few days, how come even the old lady is starting to slack off?"
Kang Ning, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly snapped out of it and quickly stepped forward to grab her mother's sleeve.
"Mother!" Kang Ning shook his head repeatedly and said, "Eldest sister slept a little late last night, please don't disturb her! She'll come out on her own in a little while!"
"I knew it! I was asleep last night, but Eldest Sister, Third Sister, and Qiongnu were still in the front hall discussing that bowl of pastries!" Fifth Sister Leshan nodded and said, "Looks like they really did go to bed late!"
"So you and Qiongnu are both up? Could it be that your eldest sister slept later than the two of you?" Upon hearing this, Li Niangzi frowned even more deeply.
Does she not know how important sleep is to this woman? Is she now so sure she can enter the Marquis's mansion that she no longer cares about her appearance?
