Yang Xian naturally felt this abnormally vibrant warm current, but there was no pain. He frowned, then exhaled heavily! At the same time, he secretly marveled, this Wei Tingyu truly possesses extraordinary abilities! So it seems that yesterday's sudden blow to the face that sent him sprawling wasn't an accident after all! It was indeed this Wei Tingyu who did it!
Yang Xian's heart ached at this realization! Why did he listen to that scoundrel Chai An's instigation? Not to mention yesterday, but today he actually came to cause trouble for the Li family again? Leaving aside the five Li family sisters, even the relationship between Lady Li Niang and Wei Tingyu seemed extraordinarily unusual... He needed to learn to be smarter in the future. If he truly wanted revenge, he would have to wait for the opportune moment and trick someone else into doing it! In any case, he and the Yang family definitely couldn't be the ones to take the lead anymore! After today's incident, Yang Xian's mind had matured considerably, at least not as childish and impulsive as before!
"You may leave," Wei Tingyu said, looking at Yang Xian, who was kneeling before him in a daze, and nodded.
"Really?" Yang Xian was startled. He had expected Wei Tingyu to make things difficult for him. He never thought he would be allowed to leave so easily? It was so easy that he could hardly believe it!
"What's the use of beating you up again?" Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, looking at Yang Xian, "Some people can't be kept in line even after one beating for twelve hours! For them, a lesson that they'll remember more deeply is needed!"
Yang Xian was momentarily stunned, then frowned. He had a strange feeling that Wei Tingyu's words held a hidden meaning! He said some people couldn't be kept in line for twelve hours after a beating, clearly referring to himself! After being taught a lesson yesterday, wasn't he back at the Four Fortunes Study causing trouble in less than twelve hours? But what was the "lesson that they'll remember deeply"? Yang Xian racked his brain but couldn't figure it out! However, since Wei Tingyu had told him to leave, he didn't want to linger there for another moment. He scrambled out of the room.
His accompanying servants and retainers were huddled outside the door, timidly, unable to see the situation inside because of the Golden Shadow Guards blocking the way. Now, seeing their master emerge in such a disheveled state, with what appeared to be marks from kowtowing on his forehead, they immediately understood. It was clear that their master had suffered another loss in that room!
"Young Master, what do we do now?" One of the leading servants cautiously approached Yang Xian and asked.
"What do we do?" Yang Xian immediately became arrogant again once he was out of Wei Tingyu's sight. Looking at the servant in front of him, hating him for bringing up an unpleasant topic, he directly reached out and gave him a heavy slap. "Follow me home!" After hitting him, he ignored the others and ran straight out the main gate of the Four Fortunes Study. The servants and retainers were stunned. Some looked sympathetically at their companion with the slapped face, then helplessly chased after him.
"My good son-in-law! I owe it all to you today! I wasn't humiliated..." Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lady Li Niang gently patted her chest with a round fan, then walked up to Wei Tingyu with a beaming smile and bowed deeply to him. As the dynamic distance between them changed, the titles "Marquis" and "son-in-law" also shifted seamlessly in Lady Li Niang's words.
"It's only right!" Wei Tingyu, however, smiled faintly, then reached out and supported Lady Li Niang's delicate arms, helping her to stand. Lady Li Niang's face flushed slightly again, but after taking a deep look at Wei Tingyu, before she could say anything else, the side room door suddenly opened with a thwack.
"Brother-in-law! How could you let that fellow go so easily?" Fifth Daughter Le Shan was the first to rush out, her beautiful brows furrowed in displeasure as she chased to the doorway. However, by this time, Yang Xian and his followers had completely disappeared, and no matter how much Le Shan stretched her neck, she couldn't see a trace of them.
Wei Tingyu smiled at the sight. His yet-to-be-married fifth Li family daughter was completely a baby-faced little darling, but when she got angry, her fierce yet adorable expression was truly endearing to behold!
"That's right! He even wanted me and Fifth Sister to come out and kowtow to him and apologize?! What a beautiful dream!" Fourth Daughter Hao De pouted at this moment. However, she didn't chase to the door like Le Shan; instead, she walked directly to Wei Tingyu's side and, very skillfully, linked her arm with his, acting spoiled. "Brother-in-law! Why didn't you teach that rogue a proper lesson again!"
Shou Hua and Fu Hui, seeing this scene, exchanged smiles. It seemed their sisters' feelings for the Marquis were progressing very quickly! At this moment, as his noble concubines, they naturally wouldn't contend for the Marquis's two arms; they would just let their sisters monopolize them!
Only Kang Ning emerged with a somewhat solemn expression. Her gaze flickered back and forth between Wei Tingyu and Lady Li Niang, a faint look of perplexity that she couldn't dispel.
"Third Daughter! What's wrong?" Lady Li Niang felt a bit guilty when she saw her third daughter's gaze, but she still forced out a slightly awkward smile and asked.
"Nothing!" Kang Ning shook her head, then said with a smile, "I'm just a bit curious how the Marquis let him go so easily?" Kang Ning also understood Lady Li Niang and Wei Tingyu's personalities very well. She felt that something about this matter just didn't feel right no matter how she thought about it!
"Oh dear! Big matters are made small, and small matters are made nothing!" Lady Li Niang walked over with her round fan, fanning her third daughter, Kang Ning, twice, then said, "It's easier to resolve enmities than to create them! The Marquis has his own reasons for doing things this way!"
"Mother is right!" Second Daughter Fu Hui nodded, then looked at Kang Ning and said, "Why does Third Sister doubt the Marquis's decision?" Of course, her words weren't sarcastic but purely a joke to tease her third sister. Third Daughter Kang Ning was indeed perplexed, but she couldn't say so directly at this moment, for where would Wei Tingyu's dignity be placed then? So, she quickly shook her head and said, "I'm just a little curious! The Marquis's decision is naturally correct!" However, her words sounded a bit sarcastic, even making Wei Tingyu smile and shake his head. This girl truly is like a wild pony that's hard to tame! Among the five Li family daughters, this girl, Third Daughter, is the most troublesome! But this was also good! If they were all docile girls who came at a mere beckoning, he wouldn't feel any sense of conquest!
"But will this Yang Xian really give up so easily?" At this moment, Eldest Daughter Shou Hua frowned. She was the most virtuous among the five sisters, but also the most mature in thought!
"Of course not!" Wei Tingyu shook his head directly, then looked at Fifth Daughter Le Shan, "I'm afraid this fellow still harbors malicious intentions, wanting to take Fifth Daughter into his residence as a concubine!" Although Yang Xian seemed to have given up on Fifth Daughter Le Shan at the moment, showing no further improper desires towards her, Wei Tingyu knew it wouldn't be that simple! After all, they were originally the "official pairing"! If it weren't for his system's blessing allowing him to intervene, under the inertia of the original world's storyline, the two of them would have gradually grown closer. Of course, with him here now, such a thing definitely wouldn't happen! But it was still possible that this Yang Xian would secretly covet Fifth Daughter Le Shan! He couldn't help but consider this.
"What?" As soon as Wei Tingyu's words fell, the other women were all shocked, and Fifth Daughter Le Shan's expression quickly changed from bewildered to furious!
"He's dreaming!" The little girl Le Shan was so angry that her small chest heaved violently, "I'd rather become a nun on the mountain than step into their Yang family's door!" This twin-tailed cute girl's expression at this moment truly looked like a pufferfish puffing up without its spines, looking fierce yet adorable!
"Alright, alright! Don't be angry!" Second Daughter Fu Hui, seeing this, quickly went to comfort her fourth sister, "He's just daydreaming! Aside from anything else, our mother definitely wouldn't agree!" As soon as Second Daughter Fu Hui's words fell, the five daughters all looked at Lady Li Niang.
"Hmph!" Lady Li Niang immediately scoffed, then said, "Not to mention just a Young Master from a powerful family! Even a prince or a noble's son, such a fop would never be accepted!"
"Of course not!" Eldest Daughter Shou Hua also nodded at this moment, then stepped forward and took Fifth Sister's hand, saying, "Even if Mother agreed, we sisters wouldn't!"
"Not to mention the Marquis definitely wouldn't agree!"
As soon as her voice fell, Le Shan's face uncharacteristically flushed. She quickly glanced at Wei Tingyu, seeing him smiling back at her, then shyly turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze again. Everyone present knew well that these five formidable daughters would sooner or later be meat in Wei Tingyu's pot; how could he allow others to stick their chopsticks in?
"Since the Marquis sees that he still covets Fifth Daughter, we should prepare early!" At this moment, Third Daughter Kang Ning stepped forward and put her arm around Fifth Daughter Le Shan's shoulder, taking on a protective stance, but also said to Wei Tingyu, "An open spear is easy to dodge! A hidden arrow is hard to guard against!"
"Although this fop seems to have yielded for now, he might turn around..."
"It's possible he'll be instigated by someone else to cause trouble again!"
Upon hearing Third Daughter Kang Ning's words, all the Li family women present nodded repeatedly, and even Lady Li Niang's eyes showed a wary expression. After all, this was their family's flesh and blood! Now that they knew she was being coveted by a wild cat outside, they absolutely couldn't lower their guard!
"Rest assured!" Wei Tingyu, seeing that the women were all becoming alert, chuckled and said calmly, "I guarantee that Yang Xian won't succeed!"
"And not only our Fifth Daughter, but he won't be able to harm any other young ladies in the future either!"
The two streams of internal energy that Wei Tingyu had just channeled into Yang Xian's body directly suppressed his acupuncture points, causing him to fundamentally lose his basic masculine functions! Of course, Yang Xian didn't know this yet, but it probably wouldn't be long before he realized something was wrong.
"Is the Marquis saying... Yang Xian will turn over a new leaf after returning today?" Fourth Daughter Hao De blinked, then frowned. She felt this was unlikely; just by looking at Yang Xian, she knew he was definitely the type of person about whom people say, "A dog can't change its eating habits!"
"He won't willingly turn over a new leaf!" Wei Tingyu naturally couldn't explain it too clearly to Fourth Daughter Hao De, this innocent young girl. He just smiled and said, "It's just that from now on, he'll have the will but not the ability..."
As soon as his words fell, the Li family women present immediately showed two different expressions. Lady Li Niang, Eldest Daughter Shou Hua, and Second Daughter Fu Hui, as experienced women, naturally understood. Their faces immediately flushed. They just hadn't expected Wei Tingyu to have such a method! Although they didn't know how it was done, at this moment, they firmly believed the Marquis's words! And Fourth Daughter Hao De and Fifth Daughter Le Shan, these two young girls, didn't understand what was going on at all. They exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that their sisters' expressions seemed a bit off.
As for Third Daughter Kang Ning, she was at an awkward age where she wasn't completely ignorant but also didn't know much about these things! And she knew a little more than her two younger sisters, just hadn't experienced it herself. So, she was initially bewildered, but after seeing the shyness on her mother's and two older sisters' faces, she immediately understood. She hadn't expected Wei Tingyu to use such a method?! But in a sense, it could be considered eliminating a menace for the people!
"Marquis!" At this moment, Eldest Daughter Shou Hua cautiously walked behind Lady Li Niang and asked in a low voice, "Will there be no room for turning back in this matter?" After all, Shou Hua hadn't initially thought of making Yang Xian impotent. But if that were the case, the Yang family would definitely not let it go! Because this wasn't just a matter of a beating or losing face; in a sense, Yang Xian's entire life, and even the Yang family's future, would be greatly affected by this. No matter how just and impartial Concubine Yang Jieyu in the palace was and how much she didn't shield her younger brother, facing her incapacitated brother, she probably wouldn't be able to remain completely unbiased as before! Although they couldn't possibly have evidence to prove that Yang Xian's condition was related to Wei Tingyu, sometimes private retaliation didn't require evidence. She was only afraid that Concubine Yang Jieyu would whisper sweet nothings into the Emperor's ear, which might be enough to make the Marquis's Residence drink a bitter cup!
"Rest assured!" However, Wei Tingyu turned around and gently took Shou Hua's small hand, looking at her and saying, "I already have a plan! My dear wife need not worry!" Shou Hua looked at Lady Li Niang's firm gaze and remembered what he had told her on the bridge yesterday. Her heart immediately felt at ease. That's right! How could the Marquis not consider these aspects when doing things? She didn't need to worry needlessly...
Three days later, one evening, Wei Tingyu was enjoying dinner with his wives and concubines in the Marquis's Residence courtyard, savoring this leisurely time.
"Marquis! There's been activity at the Yang Residence!" At this moment, a female Golden Shadow Guard, whom he had sent to monitor the Yang Residence's situation, quickly stepped forward and reported to him in a low voice.
"What?" Wei Tingyu was startled, then smiled and asked, "Three days? Are they only just reacting now?"
"Yes!" The Golden Shadow Guard replied in a low voice, "Many renowned physicians in the city were just invited to the Yang Residence!"
"That should be it!" Wei Tingyu nodded upon hearing this. These so-called famous physicians of the capital were nothing more than being called to treat Yang Xian. Unfortunately, he had lost his masculine functions due to suppressed acupuncture points from internal energy. No matter how superb these famous physicians' medical skills were, or how many methods they had, they couldn't remove the influence of internal energy from Yang Xian's body! In this low-martial world, no one could do this except for himself and his Golden Shadow Guards.
"Marquis! Do you still need to continue monitoring the Yang Residence?" The Golden Shadow Guard, seeing Wei Tingyu's smile, asked again.
"No need!" Wei Tingyu shook his head, "Withdraw all personnel!"
"Yes!" The Golden Shadow Guard took the order and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Marquis!" At this moment, Lady Li's Eldest Daughter Shou Hua slowly walked over, filling a cup of wine for Wei Tingyu while speaking in a low voice, "Is there news from the Yang family?"
"Mm!" Wei Tingyu had no intention of hiding it from her. He nodded directly, admitting it.
"Then what... does the Marquis intend to do next?" Shou Hua blinked, then asked again. After all, in her opinion, this trouble had been caused by her Li family for the Marquis, so she was naturally the most concerned. This was also why Shou Hua was the first to notice when the Golden Shadow Guard came in to report to Wei Tingyu.
"..." Wei Tingyu, however, didn't directly answer Shou Hua's question. Instead, he gently patted her soft hand, which was resting on his arm due to her nervousness, and then said with a smile, "This matter need not worry my dear wife! This Marquis has his own methods!" Shou Hua nodded at this. Her worry was unavoidable, but her trust in Wei Tingyu was boundless! Since the Marquis had said so, what was there for her to worry about?
And looking at Shou Hua's graceful retreating figure, a meaningful smile again graced Wei Tingyu's lips. Perhaps no one in the world would ever guess what methods he would use to solve the Yang family's problem?!
