"..." As soon as she spoke, not only Wei Tingyu but also Kangning and Haode were dumbfounded! Good heavens! Sincerity really is the ultimate killer move! Leshan's naive words directly left Wei Tingyu speechless! Because it made sense! It was even impossible to refute!
"Marquis!" At this moment, Leshan blinked her mesmerizing, lethal eyes and asked Wei Tingyu again, "Shouldn't our household establish some rules?"
Thump-thump!
Upon hearing Fifth Sister's words, Third Lady Kangning and Fourth Lady Haode felt their hearts pound violently! Sure enough! It's here! This troublesome little girl truly doesn't listen to advice, just charges ahead blindly!
"Establish rules?" Wei Tingyu paused, then blinked and turned to look at Kangning and Haode. Seeing that these two young girls had their heads bowed in silence, he immediately understood! That's right! This is Fifth Lady Leshan! Hoping she'd obediently spend this bridal night with him was already a luxury! It would be strange if she didn't stir up some trouble!
"Alright!" Wei Tingyu said with a smile, "Then tell me, what rules should we establish?"
"From now on! The Marquis shall only be served by male servants up close!"
"All female attendants in the courtyard must only enter the inner chambers upon summons!"
"If anyone flatters, entices, or oversteps their bounds in speech or conduct..."
Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Fifth Lady Leshan actually started counting on her fingers, establishing rules for the courtyard one by one! This left her two sisters beside her utterly stunned! With such strict backyard rules, let alone a Marquis's estate, even the inner quarters of slightly wealthier families would never tolerate them! Thinking this, Kangning and Haode couldn't help but look at Wei Tingyu again. Yet, he showed no sign of anger. Instead, his face was full of smiles as he merely watched Fifth Sister enumerate the rules she had set.
Oh no! Kangning's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately felt a bad premonition. Although Wei Tingyu's expression remained unchanged, a hint of mischievousness appeared in his eyes! It seems my disobedient Fifth Sister is truly in for some trouble!
"Marquis, please don't be offended! Fifth Sister was spoiled by Mother and us since childhood!" Thinking this, Third Lady Kangning quickly interrupted Fifth Sister's monologue and apologized to Wei Tingyu!
"What? Third Sister, what are you doing?" Leshan was still in the middle of setting rules. Hearing her words interrupted by Third Lady Kangning, she immediately became unhappy, even pouting her small lips.
"What are you doing?" Fourth Lady Haode also spoke at this moment, "How can a concubine set rules for her husband on her wedding night? I think you're getting more and more unruly!"
"The Marquis hasn't said anything, so why are you two scolding me?" Fifth Lady Leshan was displeased to be scolded by her two sisters. She immediately turned to Wei Tingyu and said, "Marquis, do you agree to what I just said?"
"Yes! I agree to all of it!" Wei Tingyu winked at Leshan and said with a smile.
"See? The Marquis agreed!" Leshan immediately became smug upon hearing that Wei Tingyu had actually agreed to her demands. She shook her head and proudly showed off to her two sisters.
Kangning and Haode, however, stared at Wei Tingyu with wide, bewildered eyes. Their intuition told them that no man would ever accept such so-called rules! Especially not Wei Tingyu! Unless he was a man completely uninterested in beautiful women! But that was impossible! There were already many beautiful concubines in the Marquis's backyard, which was enough to show that he loved beautiful women very much! Otherwise, he wouldn't even think of taking all five daughters of the Li family into the estate! This whole thing felt wrong no matter how they thought about it!
Just as Kangning and Haode were filled with doubts, Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, then said to Leshan, "There's just one thing, if Fifth Lady can do it, that would be great!"
"Marquis, speak! I, Li Wuniang, guarantee I can do it!" Leshan immediately patted her small chest and replied proudly. In her eyes, this was fair! She set rules for the Marquis, and the Marquis also wanted her to complete a task... so she agreed without thinking!
"It's very simple!" By now, Wei Tingyu's mischievous side had taken over. He gently raised an eyebrow at Leshan and said, "Tonight is our wedding night; you are not allowed to cry!"
"Cry?" As soon as he spoke, not only Leshan but also Kangning and Haode were stunned simultaneously. How could one cry on such a joyous wedding night?
"Is the Marquis going to hit me?" Leshan suddenly thought of a possibility, then looked at Wei Tingyu with a wary expression. Wei Tingyu laughed helplessly upon hearing this. Where did this young girl's mind go? How could he do something like domestic violence?
"As long as the Marquis doesn't hit me, I guarantee I won't cry!" Leshan saw Wei Tingyu's expression and knew she had thought too much. So, she immediately said! She even extended her hand to strike Wei Tingyu's palm, making this vow!
Only after the two finished their high-five did Third Lady Kangning finally come to her senses, for it was then that she finally understood what Wei Tingyu meant! Last night, she and Second Sister Fuhui stayed overnight with Wei Tingyu in the inner chamber of those bandits, and she had finally completed her transformation from a girl to a woman! Kangning clearly remembered that she had cried! And that was after the Marquis had shown mercy! Now Little Fifth was making this bet with the Marquis, could it be...?
Thinking this, her face instantly flushed, and she looked at Fifth Sister with a gaze of pity. Oh well! Who told this Little Fifth to be disobedient every day and constantly cause trouble for herself? Perhaps if the Marquis teaches her a good lesson tonight, her personality will change?
"Third Sister, what are you laughing at?" Fourth Lady Haode naturally didn't understand the meaning behind Wei Tingyu's words, but seeing Kangning laughing, she couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing!" Kangning paused, then quickly shook her head and continued, "Just you wait and see! This little girl, Fifth Sister, will definitely cry terribly tonight!"
Leshan naturally heard Kangning's words. She looked at Third Sister with some confusion, not understanding why she was so sure that she would cry tonight... In her heart, she felt that as long as Wei Tingyu didn't hit her and make her cry, she could absolutely, absolutely win this bet!
However, before Leshan could ask more, she felt her body lighten as Wei Tingyu picked her up horizontally! Leshan was startled! She instinctively wrapped her arms around Wei Tingyu's neck! However, when she looked into his eyes, she couldn't help but shiver! Because she clearly saw a desire in Wei Tingyu's eyes that she had never seen before! It was as if a pile of dry kindling had burst into a raging fire! So much so that just staring at it, she felt her face being scorched by the heat in his eyes!
What's going on? Leshan had never seen a man look like this before! Although she still didn't quite understand, her instincts made her body tremble slightly.
"Marquis..." At this moment, Leshan's heart gradually became terrified. Recalling the bet she had just made with Wei Tingyu, she felt as if she had truly fallen into some trap!
"That... I'm not betting anymore!" It must be said that a woman's sixth sense was quite accurate. Leshan suddenly yelled out, struggling to escape from Wei Tingyu's embrace. But her small arms and legs were only good for feigning toughness and mischief normally. How could she have any chance of struggling against Wei Tingyu?
"Third Sister! Fourth Sister! Save me!" A terrified Leshan uselessly struggled, loudly calling out to her two sisters for help. However, Kangning and Haode were naturally preoccupied at this moment, as they also felt the burning desire in Wei Tingyu's heart. The two women even held hands and proactively moved away from their sitting positions, completely clearing the large bridal bed.
Seeing this situation, Leshan became even more frightened, because she still didn't know what men and women were supposed to do on their wedding night! So Wei Tingyu's appearance really scared her!
"Mother! Eldest Sister! Second Sister! Save me..." Seeing that Third Sister and Fourth Sister wouldn't help, she fearfully called out loudly to her mother and two elder sisters outside for help.
"Hmm?" Lady Li, half-drunk at this moment, seemed to hear her daughter's call and suddenly stood up, looking at the direction of the bridal chamber with a bewildered expression.
"How come I feel like Fifth Lady is calling me?" Lady Li blinked, then asked with a confused look.
"I think I heard it too?" Second Lady Fuhui was about as drunk as her mother at this point. She blinked her innocent, wide eyes and said, "I think I also heard Fifth Sister yelling for help!"
"Help?" Lady Li was about to walk towards the bridal chamber when she heard this, but Eldest Lady Shouhua immediately stepped forward and pulled her back.
"Mother, don't rush!" Shouhua naturally understood what was happening and knew that Wei Tingyu would definitely not harm Fifth Sister, so she wasn't worried. She quickly pulled Lady Li back and said, "Mother, wait! Tonight is Fifth Sister and the Marquis's bridal chamber..."
"Oh..." Lady Li nodded upon hearing this, and most of her drunkenness faded away.
"This little Fifth! Always yelling for help no matter what!"
Upon hearing Lady Li's complaint, not only Eldest Lady Shouhua and Second Lady Fuhui but also the old servants and maids around them burst into laughter. After all, everyone knew what happened in the bridal chamber, and maids often shared risqué jokes, so they all understood what was going on inside!
The next morning, the sky was already bright! Wei Tingyu stood before the bridal bed, and his three beautiful concubines, whom he had just taken last night, were carefully helping him get dressed. He had long been accustomed to such things, simply closing his eyes and enjoying it all.
"Fifth Sister! Are you still setting rules for the Marquis?" Fourth Lady Haode pulled at the back of Wei Tingyu's shirt while leaning out and smilingly asked Fifth Lady Leshan, who was kneeling in front of him, tying his belt.
"..." The young girl Leshan frowned upon hearing this, but then secretly glanced at Wei Tingyu with some lingering fear. Seeing that he hadn't opened his eyes, she remained silent, only winking at Fourth Sister and shaking her head. The meaning was clear: Don't say anything more about that! As for the answer, everyone knew it. Leshan's small face still bore the tear stains from last night that hadn't disappeared yet! It must be said that all the tears she had shed in her previous decade-plus of life probably combined were not as many as last night! Of course, all of this was thanks to that big bad guy, Wei Tingyu! As for setting rules for Wei Tingyu, Leshan had now clearly understood and would never dare to bring it up again! Not to mention that she had lost the bet to the Marquis and now had no face to bring it up again! Even if she had won, she would probably actively ask to cancel those so-called rules! With the Marquis's capabilities, Leshan finally understood why Lady Dou Zhao of the Marquis's estate had taken the initiative to arrange concubines for the Marquis!
Third Lady Kangning smiled faintly upon seeing Fifth Sister's embarrassed expression, then gave Fourth Sister a look, signaling her not to tease the youngest girl in the family anymore! Otherwise, if she truly made her cry again, it would be troublesome to comfort her!
The bridal chamber door opened, and Wei Tingyu, holding Fourth Lady Haode's small hand, walked out first! Then Fifth Lady Leshan, supported by Third Sister Kangning, followed behind them, limping and frowning. However, upon seeing this scene, Lady Li, Eldest Lady Shouhua, and Second Lady Fuhui couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. The three women naturally knew what was going on, but Eldest Lady Shouhua still couldn't help but teasingly glare at Wei Tingyu, somewhat blaming him for being so harsh on Fifth Sister!
"Mother!" A heartbroken Leshan, seeing her mother and two elder sisters, immediately pouted her small lips, wanting to complain in a delicate voice. However, before she could speak, Lady Li rushed to Wei Tingyu's side like a gust of wind.
"Oh dear! My good son-in-law! You must be tired, tired!" Of course, Lady Li wasn't alone; she and Fuhui, one on each side, greeted Wei Tingyu with concerned expressions! Lady Li, especially, looked at her son-in-law with a beaming smile; the more she looked, the more satisfied she became! Now it seemed her five daughters would definitely not become living widows in the Marquis's estate! At this point, Lady Li's last lingering worry completely vanished!
"Alright, alright, breakfast is ready! Hurry and eat, hurry and eat!" Lady Li laughed as she pulled Wei Tingyu towards the front hall, completely ignoring Third Lady Kangning and the unsuccessfully pouting Fifth Lady Leshan who followed behind. Kangning was fine; she just smiled it off! After all, she knew her mother was flattering Wei Tingyu for the sake of her five daughters' future comfort in the Marquis's estate. However, Fifth Lady Leshan's mouth immediately pouted even higher when she saw the situation! Is this still my own mother? Your daughter is in this state, unable to even walk without assistance! And you don't even come to show concern?! Of course, Leshan only thought this to herself. If Lady Li had actually come over to show concern and ask what was wrong, she would probably be too embarrassed to say explicitly! Thus, she could only purse her lips, then limped behind everyone to the front hall.
"Hahaha! Don't you think it's funny?" At the dining table, the Li family women and Wei Tingyu naturally enjoyed their meal together in a harmonious atmosphere. Fourth Lady Haode directly recounted the story of Fifth Sister trying to set rules for Wei Tingyu last night as a joke. Of course, as soon as she finished speaking, all the women covered their mouths and chuckled, only Lady Li shook her head helplessly. This fifth daughter of hers! She's fearless, and now she's finally met her match! It was also fortunate that Wei Tingyu could manage her; otherwise, Lady Li would truly be most worried about this fifth girl! She worried that one day she would be sent back with a letter of divorce from her in-laws! Now that Wei Tingyu could handle her, such worries naturally no longer existed!
"You're still talking..." Fifth Lady Leshan's face turned crimson at this moment. She quickly pouted and glared at Fourth Sister, then said softly, "I already know I was wrong! I'll never do that again... Oh, stop laughing at me!"
Her confession of being wrong was, of course, sincere! At this point, she couldn't possibly keep being stubborn! After all, she truly didn't want to experience last night's storm again! At one point, Leshan had even thought she might die by Wei Tingyu's hand! Of course, after that, she finally gained a very profound understanding of matters between men and women!
"Oh my! That's impressive!" Lady Li immediately showed a surprised expression upon hearing her fifth daughter's words. After blinking, she changed to a shocked expression and said, "When did our fifth daughter ever admit she was wrong? Oh my goodness! Is this still my Fifth Lady?" After saying that, she ignored the roaring laughter of everyone and turned to Wei Tingyu, asking, "But how did you manage to make my daughter so obedient and even admit her mistake on her own, my good son-in-law?"
As soon as Lady Li asked this, all the women simultaneously looked at Wei Tingyu, and only Fifth Lady Leshan's face turned beet red. Third Lady Kangning and Fourth Lady Haode exchanged glances, and at the same time, couldn't help but cover their mouths; otherwise, they would definitely have burst out laughing.
