"I'll help Mother..." Eldest Lady Shouhua smiled faintly upon hearing this, then stood up and followed Lady Li out.
"I'm going too! I'm going too!" Second Lady Fuhui immediately got up and followed them out when she saw what was happening.
"Then I..." Third Lady Kangning instinctively started to rise as well, but before she could straighten up, Haode and Leshan each grabbed an arm, pinning her in place. These two young girls were incredibly shy right now. If Third Sister also left, they'd be alone with the Marquis and wouldn't know what to say.
However, Third Lady Kangning was filled with helplessness! If they were embarrassed, did that mean she wasn't? Especially since she had just experienced her wedding night, she was incredibly shy at this moment! Either everyone should be present, so she wouldn't feel awkward! Or there should be fewer people, just herself and the Marquis alone, and she wouldn't feel awkward either! But it was precisely this awkward number of people right now, and the two young girls, Little Fourth and Little Fifth, were still innocent in matters of romance. This situation was truly the most embarrassing!
Wei Tingyu, of course, also understood the thoughts of the three remaining young girls. However, their embarrassment was one thing; he couldn't afford to be awkward too, or the atmosphere in the room would become unbearable!
"Third Lady!" Thinking this, he called out to Third Lady Kangning, simultaneously gesturing with his eyes towards his now empty wine glass. Kangning paused, then understood! Since she didn't know what to do right now, shouldn't she follow the example of Eldest Sister and Second Sister and serve the Marquis wine? Thinking this, she quickly got up, went to Wei Tingyu's side, sat down obediently, and poured him a cup of wine.
Fourth Lady Haode and Fifth Lady Leshan were shocked by this sight! In their minds, it was normal for Eldest Sister and Second Sister to do such things, but Third Sister had never done anything like this before! In fact, Third Sister was the most opinionated of the five sisters; when had she become so obedient?
Night fell, and the Li family's backyard became lively once more. Although there weren't many people, a festive atmosphere permeated everywhere! Red silk and red lanterns hung all around! Because tonight was the day the remaining three daughters of the Li family would marry into the Marquis's estate!
"My good son-in-law! Eat more, eat more!" Lady Li kept putting dishes into Wei Tingyu's bowl, while continuously observing her son-in-law, the Marquis. The more she looked, the more pleasing he became!
"Your concubine toasts the Marquis a cup!" Eldest Lady Shouhua rose slightly and toasted Wei Tingyu with a cup of wine, "Congratulations to the Marquis on gaining more beauties!" Even Shouhua, who usually had a somewhat detached personality and showed little emotional fluctuation no matter how big the storm, now had an irrepressible smile on her face! Leaving aside whether she was genuinely happy for Wei Tingyu, the fact that her three younger sisters' futures were settled was enough to make her rejoice. And most importantly, her mother, Lady Li, would now be free of worries and could enjoy her life in peace!
"Me too! Me too!" Second Lady Fuhui, naturally unwilling to be left behind, also quickly rose to toast Wei Tingyu.
Facing the toasts from the two ladies, Wei Tingyu naturally had no reason not to drink! So, he filled two cups and drank them down, prompting cheers from the surrounding maids and servants! There was no other way; a formal wedding ceremony for the Li family's precious concubines still couldn't be made public, so the only guests present were the Li family themselves.
"Oh dear! Alright, alright! No more toasts!" Lady Li waved her hand after Wei Tingyu drank the wine toasted by her two daughters, saying, "Don't get my good son-in-law drunk! He still has to enter the bridal chamber later!" It hadn't been long since Eldest Lady and Second Lady married into the Marquis's estate, and now all five daughters were settled, causing Lady Li's face to be completely covered with an irrepressible smile when she spoke!
Of course, this amount of wine was no problem for Wei Tingyu! Not to mention the low alcohol content of the wine, even if it were strong liquor, Wei Tingyu could simply use his internal energy to force out the alcohol, making it no different from drinking water!
Inside the bridal chamber, three beautiful women in wedding dresses sat side by side on the large bridal bed. All three wore red veils covering their vision, but they could hear the joyous laughter of the Marquis, their mother, and their sisters outside.
"Third Sister!" At this moment, Fourth Lady Haode, sitting on the left, suddenly asked, "Are you scared?"
"Scared?" Third Lady Kangning was indeed a bit nervous at first, but upon hearing Fourth Sister's words, she was surprised: "Scared of what?"
"What's there to be scared of?" Fifth Lady Leshan blinked, and without waiting for Third Sister to reply, she immediately said, "Isn't it just the bridal chamber?" In this young girl's view, the so-called bridal chamber simply meant two people sleeping on one bed; she truly didn't understand anything else yet! Of course, compared to the vaguely understanding Fourth Lady Haode, Kangning definitely understood completely, as she had already spent the night with Wei Tingyu.
"Do you know what the bridal chamber is?" Kangning pursed her lips, then asked Fifth Sister again.
"After the bridal chamber, we'll be husband and wife!" Fifth Lady Leshan said without thinking, "So, from now on, we'll sleep on the same bed!"
"Anything else?" Third Lady Kangning continued to press, hearing Fifth Sister's words.
"Anything else?" Fifth Lady Leshan's expression under her veil became bewildered when she heard Third Sister's question! She felt that was all there was to it!
"..." Kangning was speechless. Indeed, this little girl understood nothing! No wonder she wasn't scared or nervous!
"Is there really something else?" Leshan heard Kangning fall silent and immediately spoke again, "Third Sister! Tell me what else there is!"
"There's..." Kangning looked helpless. How could she teach her this? After thinking for a moment, she could only say, "Why don't you ask the Marquis when he comes in later?"
"Third Sister, I'm so nervous!" Unlike Fifth Lady Leshan's optimistic nature, Fourth Lady Haode, though often playing with her and quite mischievous, was inherently a timid girl. She was always filled with nervousness and hesitation about the uncertainties of the future!
"Fourth Sister, don't worry!" Fifth Lady Leshan, however, spoke boldly, "The Marquis isn't a tiger! He won't eat you!" Kangning couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. Won't eat you? You'll find out soon enough! You'll understand when this little girl is thoroughly "eaten" by the Marquis tonight! Of course, these two "eats" were not the same meaning!
"At critical moments, it still has to be Fifth Sister!" Fourth Lady Haode actually felt a little relieved after hearing Leshan's words, and at the same time, she subtly scorned her own timidity and cowardice. They were both daughters of the Li family, and she was even a bit older than Fifth Sister! How was it that her actions now resembled a younger sister's? It made sense, though! After all, every woman in the world gets married, and she hadn't heard of anything major happening on anyone's wedding night! Instead, she recalled the happy expressions of her Eldest Sister Shouhua and Second Sister Fuhui when they emerged from the bridal chamber after the Marquis married them a few days ago. That's right! This is the Marquis, not a tiger. What's there to be afraid of?
"But the Marquis keeps marrying one after another, who knows how many more there will be in the future!" However, Fifth Lady Leshan began to murmur at this moment, as if talking to herself, but Third Lady Kangning and Fourth Lady Haode heard her murmur clearly. The two girls immediately pricked up their ears, especially Kangning, who carefully tugged Fifth Sister's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't speak such nonsense. If the Marquis hears it, he might be displeased!"
Kangning naturally had such complaints in her heart, but now that she had not only signed the concubine contract but also had her whole self and heart captured by the Marquis, she had accepted the fact that she had married such a philandering man! Now, she only wished that her sisters and she could live peacefully and happily in the Marquis's estate. As for other things... she would learn from her sisters and not think too much! That way, life would be more comfortable! This was the secret Kangning had specifically sought from Eldest Sister Shouhua and Second Sister Fuhui during the day!
"Displeased, how?" However, Fifth Lady Leshan showed no intention of holding back after hearing Third Sister's words. She immediately said, "Even if we're married into the Marquis's estate, we can't let the Marquis continue like this, can we?"
"Then what do you mean?" Fourth Lady Haode was bewildered upon hearing Fifth Sister's words. Her small head couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.
"We need to find a way to set some rules for the Marquis! We can't let him love one and marry one!" Fifth Lady Leshan raised her small, clenched fist and said. Of course, her two sisters didn't see this gesture because their veils covered their faces. But just hearing her words was enough to shock Kangning and Haode! Good heavens! Did I hear that right? This Little Fifth actually wants to set rules for the Marquis? Truly a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger!
"Little Fifth, what are you doing?" Third Lady Kangning felt something was amiss and quickly said, "I'm warning you, don't mess around!"
"What's wrong?" Leshan looked unconcerned after hearing Third Sister's warning and said, "Setting good rules for the Marquis is also good for us sisters!" That was true! But the question was, could she do it? After last night, Kangning knew what kind of person Wei Tingyu was; he was definitely not just a second-generation noble who inherited his ancestor's marquisate! His methods were endless! Little Fifth wanting to get the upper hand on the Marquis was simply wishful thinking!
However, before she could persuade her further, the bridal chamber door slammed open with a pah and then shut heavily again. The two loud sounds startled the three women who had been speaking in hushed tones, and the room instantly fell silent. No need to ask, it had to be Wei Tingyu entering! Kangning and Haode both silently prayed in their hearts that Fifth Sister wouldn't mess around! As for Leshan, under her veil, her eyes darted around, concocting her plan.
Of course, Wei Tingyu had no idea that his three newly taken concubines each had their own thoughts swirling in their minds, much less that this young girl Leshan was fantastically thinking of setting rules for him. He simply looked at the three delicate beauties sitting in a row before him, smiled, and walked straight over, carefully examining them. Then, he lifted the veil from the middle bride's head. Immediately, Third Lady Kangning's blushing face came into view. After all, unlike her two younger sisters, she was already Wei Tingyu's. Being dressed as a bride and stared at so intently by him, it was impossible for her not to feel shy.
"Marquis!" Wei Tingyu simply looked at her without speaking. After a few seconds, Kangning finally couldn't help but softly call out. Seeing the blush on this young girl's face, as tender as a ripe peach, Wei Tingyu couldn't resist leaning in and gently kissing her cheek. Kangning merely recoiled her neck slightly, a purely instinctive movement, but her body did not try to dodge backwards. And after Wei Tingyu kissed her cheek, she felt her face flush even more intensely...
Seeing that this young girl was rendered speechless by his small kiss, Wei Tingyu turned to look at the bride on his left. After lifting her veil, he found it was Fourth Lady Haode. Good heavens! At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was opening a bridal blind box! He had to admit, it was quite exciting!
Of course, Haode's reaction at this moment was not much better than Kangning's just now! She cautiously glanced at Third Sister beside her, seeing her staring back with a pair of bright, wide eyes. Coupled with Wei Tingyu's gaze now resting on her face, this young girl became even more shy! Before Wei Tingyu even had a chance to kiss her, her little face was already as red as Kangning's!
However, Wei Tingyu would absolutely not neglect anyone tonight; he would definitely treat everyone equally! Therefore, under Kangning's gaze, he gently kissed Haode's cheek! Haode was different from Kangning; she had no prior intimate contact with Wei Tingyu. Although the concubine contract had been signed, the two had never even held hands before! So, this kiss immediately made Haode's face turn crimson, and she even nervously, instinctively grasped her Third Sister's small hand beside her. Kangning felt the strength in Fourth Sister's hand and knew she was particularly nervous, so she extended her jade arm to embrace her shoulder, while also giving Wei Tingyu a slightly teasing glare! This Marquis! He flirts with Fourth Sister, makes her shy, and then expects her to comfort her...
Of course, next it was Fifth Lady Leshan's turn on the right! Thinking this, Kangning and Haode both turned their heads simultaneously, staring at the last bride, who still wore her veil! Wei Tingyu was a bit puzzled. He didn't know if the two women were worried that their Fifth Sister would cause some trouble; he was just curious why these two sisters seemed more impatient than he was now.
However, just as Wei Tingyu's hand reached for Leshan's veil but before he could lift it, the young girl suddenly grabbed her own veil and flung it aside! Well, well! This last blind box didn't wait for him to open it but popped out on its own?! However, he already knew who it was, so Wei Tingyu wasn't too surprised, and this action certainly matched Fifth Lady Leshan's personality. The only difference, however, was that unlike her Third Sister and Fourth Sister, whose faces were flushed with shyness, Fifth Lady Leshan now looked at him with a calm expression. From this, it was clear that compared to the fully enlightened Kangning and the half-enlightened Haode, this young girl Leshan was completely uninitiated in matters of men and women!
"~~Fifth Sister!~~" Kangning and Haode were startled by Leshan's action, and both cried out in unison! Because they knew that their little troublemaker wasn't joking earlier; she genuinely wanted to give the Marquis a hard time and then set some rules for him!
"Is Fifth Lady so impatient?" However, Wei Tingyu naturally wouldn't get angry at this young girl over such a small matter! Instead, he reached out and gently hooked her chin, then said with a smile. But Leshan showed no reaction to being teased, her face didn't blush, and she seemed a bit puzzled why the Marquis hooked her chin. Her innocent, wide eyes stared straight at Wei Tingyu, showing no shyness, but rather full of confusion!
At this moment, Wei Tingyu truly couldn't hold back his amusement! It was like throwing a punch and hitting a ball of cotton; this young girl wasn't angry after he teased her? Then wouldn't his teasing be in vain?! "Don't you feel any shyness or anger at all?" For the first time, Wei Tingyu felt like he had been teased by the other party instead of the other way around. He helplessly pursed his lips and looked at Leshan, asking.
"Shyness? Anger?" Leshan just blinked her big, watery eyes at Wei Tingyu and said, "The Marquis is my husband; isn't anything he does to me perfectly proper? Why should I feel shy or angry?"
