"Didn't your mother-in-law come along?" Wei Tingyu looked around again. Not seeing Li Niangzi, he asked Shouhua and Fuhui.
"There's always business in the shop!" Fu Hui smiled and said, "Even though we have hired people to do things, there still needs to be a manager! Mother just told my three younger sisters not to be naughty in the Marquis's mansion, and she herself didn't come along!"

Chapter 141 Third Sister Fu Hui's Thoughts! The two younger sisters are getting anxious!
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu nodded and didn't say anything more, but out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see Third Sister Kang Ning give him a slightly strange glare.
This girl seems very wary of every interaction between him and Li Niangzi now!
However, Wei Tingyu didn't say anything, but just smiled at her and winked.
"My lord! Why are you giving Third Sister such flirtatious glances?" Fifth Sister, Le Shan, noticed this scene and quickly spoke up.
This made Third Sister Kang Ning blush deeply, while the other women surrounded her and teased her.
……
By afternoon, Kangning, Haode, and Leshan, the three girls who had not yet married into the Marquis's household, had gotten along very well with Wei Tingyu's other wives and concubines. They played and frolicked in the courtyard of the Marquis's household as if they were at home.
However, Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, and He Weifang all had their own businesses to attend to, and Dou Ming, the little girl, also went to learn business skills from her older sister.
Zhao Zhangru was quite free, but being a martial arts fanatic, he went to a small training ground specially set up by Wei Tingyu to practice kung fu with the Golden Shadow Guard.
Only Li's eldest aunt, Shouhua, and second aunt, Fuhui, remained to keep the three younger sisters company.
"Have you heard? That Young Master Yang..." Third Sister Kang Ning asked without looking up, while carefully sniffing something.
"What's wrong with Young Master Yang?" Shouhua had been teased by this guy before, and she immediately frowned upon hearing Young Master Yang's name.
In her opinion, this bastard wouldn't be so reckless, would he? Now that he knows the five Li sisters are all working for the Marquis, is he still not giving up and is setting his sights on the third sister?
"Young Master Yang received a reprimand from the palace early this morning, so he quickly packed up and left the capital!" However, Kang Ning did not see the slight tension on her elder sister's face. She was still busy with her embroidery with her head down and said it casually.
"Hmph!" Fifth Sister Le Shan naturally had no liking for Yang Xian whatsoever; just hearing his name made her want to vomit. Now, hearing from her Third Sister that this guy had actually left the capital early this morning, she immediately snorted coldly.
"I bet he was too flamboyant and offended some important figure, which is why he was scared and ran away to avoid trouble!"
"Possibly!" Fourth Sister Haode nodded in agreement, "Isn't there a rumor that he was reprimanded by imperial decree?"
“But isn’t Consort Yang in the palace?” At this moment, the second concubine, Fu Hui, stood up and walked behind Kang Ning. Looking at the embroidery in her hands, she said, “Consort Yang is so favored, her younger brother will naturally be looked up to by the Emperor as well!”
“Logically, that should be the case!” Kang Ning, without looking up after hearing her second sister’s words, simply nodded and continued working on her embroidery, saying, “However, people say that Consort Yang is upright and incorruptible, and often scolds her younger brother!”
"Perhaps after hearing about the absurd behavior of Yang Yanei (657), he'll scold his brother, who never gets angry, once again!"
“But they are siblings after all! Even if they were scolded, how could Yang Yanei have run out of the city so early in the morning?” Fu Hui still felt that something was not quite right.
"Alright! I think everyone should stop thinking about these unimportant things!" Aunt Shouhua nodded and said.
"Whatever the reason, it's definitely a good thing that someone has taken care of this lawless young master!"
"As for the details, there's no point in us outsiders speculating. As long as he doesn't cause any more trouble for our family, that's enough!"
In Shouhua's view, what Yang Xian did had absolutely nothing to do with her! And of course, it had nothing to do with her sisters either!
She would be satisfied as long as that annoying guy never appeared in front of her and her sisters again.
Of course, no matter how much the five sisters of the Ren family thought about it, they could never have imagined that Yang Xian's most proud older sister, Yang Jieyu, was now Wei Tingyu's woman!
They're practically sisters!
The reprimand that came from the palace this morning was naturally from Consort Yang! She gave her good-for-nothing younger brother a severe scolding and warned him never to provoke Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining again!
Otherwise, not only will I not help him, but I will punish him ten or a hundred times more severely than before!
Knowing that his older sister always kept her word, Yang Xian was naturally terrified. In addition, even the imperial physicians had been unable to cure his illness that morning, so he simply left the capital.
On one hand, she thought she could avoid her sister's anger, and on the other hand, she could look around the capital for any famous doctors she might have missed.
"He still dares to cause trouble?" Fifth Sister blinked, raised her clenched fist, and said, "If this scoundrel dares to come again, I'll break his legs with this big stick!"
The other four older sisters shook their heads helplessly after hearing what their fifth sister said.
There's nothing I can do! That's just how this little girl is; it seems like she won't be able to change anytime soon!
However, the Marquis indulged her, and he never showed the slightest displeasure when she spoke recklessly, which made the little girl even more audacious!
Perhaps she'll become more gentle after she becomes a mother in the Marquis's mansion!
However, while the older sisters were wondering when their fifth sister would become more obedient and gentle, this little girl suddenly sidled up to Third Sister Kang Ning.
"Third sister, what are you sewing?" Le Shan asked curiously, leaning close to Kang Ning and watching the embroidery in her hands.
Then, before the other person could respond, he reached out and snatched it with a delighted expression, examining it carefully in his hand.
Only then did the other sisters realize that what Third Sister Kang Ning had been busy with was a wooden Moheluo statue, and she was sewing a beautiful robe onto it.
You should know that all the women recognized this Buddhist deity!
Because in religious legends, Mahora is the son of Buddha Shakyamuni, and most importantly, this god is specifically worshipped on the Qixi Festival to honor the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl!
The girls who make offerings to him are, frankly speaking, hoping to find a good husband and have many children and blessings in the future.
Third Sister Kang Ning played with this thing in her hands, and even carefully embroidered a cassock and clothing on it. Which of the sisters knew about her little thoughts?
Of course, aside from the playful and philanthropic Fifth Sister, she really wouldn't think that much.
"Hey! This is fun!" Seeing how exquisite and cute the doll in her hand was, Le Shan laughed and said, "Give it to me!"
Without waiting for Third Sister Kang Ning to react, she turned and ran away.
Kang Ning had been busy with this little thing for most of the day and had her own plans. Now that she saw her fifth sister trying to snatch it away, she immediately got up and grabbed Le Shan's sleeve.
Then, when Raksun turned around with a bewildered look, she quickly reached out and took the doll from her hands.
Le Shan was confused because she was the most pampered in the Li family since she was a child. In the past, her older sisters would always give in to her when she wanted something delicious or fun, except for her fourth sister, Hao De, who was only a little older than her!
This was the first time, in her memory, that her third sister had refused her request!
Besides, Leshan wasn't an unreasonable person. Whenever she liked something and snatched it from her sister, she would only play with it for a couple of hours before losing interest and returning it to her.
Right now, she could even see a hint of nervousness in her third sister Kang Ning's eyes.
Moreover, it wasn't just Le Shan; the other sisters in the Li family also looked at Kang Ning with puzzled expressions.
This was the first time Kang Ning had ever lost her composure in front of her sisters!
"I..." Kang Ning was stunned. Seeing that all her sisters were looking at her with blank expressions, she realized that something was wrong.
It seems I was indeed a bit anxious just now, and I accidentally revealed my true intentions.
Thinking of this, her eyes darted around, and she immediately made up an excuse, saying, "I'm giving this to my second sister!"
"At least my fifth sister won't try to steal my doll now," Yue Shan thought to herself.
"Really? Let me see!" But as soon as she finished speaking, Second Aunt Fu Hui smiled slightly and walked over gracefully.
Now that she's entered the Marquis's residence, she's become even more dignified than before; her gait and bearing alone are not much inferior to her elder sister, Shouhua.
Three years later, Kang Ning never expected that her second sister, Fu Hui, who usually disliked getting involved in her sisters' fights over items, would suddenly seem interested today!
If I had known this would happen, why would I have used her as an excuse?
Kang Ning felt a pang of pain in her heart, but her second sister, Fu Hui, had already walked up to her, looking at the doll in her hand with great interest.
Oh no! This time I dug a hole and jumped right in!
Kang Ning mentally berated herself, but seeing her second sister Fu Hui's expectant gaze, she could only purse her lips and reluctantly hand over the doll in her hand.
Of course, everyone present could see her hesitation and unwillingness.
Second Aunt Fu Hui was no different. She looked at the doll while glancing at her third sister's expression, a knowing smile playing on her lips. This little girl actually wasn't going to tell the truth?
Upon thinking of this, Fu Hui immediately put on an expression of great interest in the doll, as if she couldn't wait to take it.
Sure enough, Kang Ning's face became even more tense when he saw his second sister's appearance.
She gripped the doll tightly with her slightly raised hands, until the knuckles on her fingers turned white!
Judging from her current appearance, even a blind person could tell that this girl is definitely hiding something!
Second Sister Fu Hui would naturally not want something that Third Sister values so highly.
She smiled slightly and looked at Kang Ning, saying, "Look how nervous you are! What precious thing is it that you're reluctant to part with?!"
Upon hearing this, Third Sister Kang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Second Sister wasn't interested in the doll in her hand. She then smiled and said, "I'll give Second Sister an even better one another day! This one..."
The skill of making grand promises isn't something only modern people possess; the clever young lady, Kang Ning, mastered it long ago without a teacher.
Hearing her third sister's empty promises, Fu Hui could only laugh helplessly.
She certainly didn't expect to get anything good from her third sister, so she just smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare accept a pure gold Mohelu! Next time, give me a clay one!"
When Kangning heard her second sister point out that the doll was the Moheluo, which was the favorite deity of girls waiting to be married, her little face involuntarily turned red.
The other sisters in the room all looked at Kang Ning with expressions of understanding, making her even more embarrassed.
Only Fourth Sister Haode and Fifth Sister Leshan chuckled foolishly for a couple of moments, then exchanged a glance, and both could see a hint of tension in each other's eyes.
Why is the third sister doing this? It must be to prepare for entering the Marquis's mansion!
The eldest and second eldest sisters have already entered the Marquis's residence, so naturally they are no longer needed!
But with the third sister's outstanding example, wouldn't it be inappropriate for the two youngest to make no preparations?
