Of course, Corning's words were somewhat insincere.
Even though she kept telling herself not to be jealous, she couldn't control the bitterness in her heart!
This caused Corning a lot of headaches and troubles!
Of course, she didn't think that her fifth sister was bad because of this; she just clenched her little fists tightly and mentally complained about Wei Tingyu a few more times.
After all, a husband who can't treat everyone equally is definitely the culprit for unrest in the household!
"Oh dear! Alright, alright! I won't tease you anymore!" Seeing that her fourth sister was so anxious that she looked like she was about to cry, Wu Niang Le Shan could only purse her lips and then take out two delicate little bags from her sleeve.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, he handed one small bag to each of Haode and Kangning.
"This is..." Hao De paused, opened the small bag and took a look, then looked up in shock!
She saw what was in the bag, but she was too excited to speak!
Instead, Kang Ning poured everything out of the bag into his own hands, and everyone then realized that the bag contained dozens of small, sparkling pearls.
Judging from the color, it is almost exactly the same as the ones that Wu Niang Le Shan wore in her hair; it is impossible to tell which one is better.
"These pearls are..." Lady Li was also completely bewildered. She looked at the handful of pearls in Kang Ning's hand and then turned to Le Shan to ask.
"My brother-in-law gave them to me!" Fifth Sister said with a slight pout, "Third Sister, Fourth Sister, and I each got a bag. It's fair and reasonable!"
“When we got back to the Li family’s house, you grabbed your older sister and ran inside.”
"The Marquis didn't have time to stop you before he gave me all three bags and asked me to pass them on to you two!"
"That's good! That's good!" Li Niangzi finally got the final answer and was relieved.
Moreover, she was certain that what Wu Niang Le Shan said was absolutely true!
After all, the fact that such high-quality pearls were divided into three small bags suggests that the seller had prepared them in advance as a gift.
Considering that his three daughters had not yet entered the Marquis's mansion, Wei Tingyu's actions were understandable.
Of course, no one doubted whether Leshan had secretly kept the two bags of pearls.
She must have already planned to hand the bag over to her two older sisters in public, otherwise she wouldn't have put on pearl makeup on her forehead and paraded around in front of her sisters to let them see!
And if you think about it carefully, how could a girl as genuine as Leshan, who dislikes that young master Yang so much, possibly wear his pearl on her forehead?
Even if Yang Yanei wanted to give it to her personally, she would definitely disdain it and even feel disgusted.
Of course, if the pearl was a gift from her brother-in-law Wei Tingyu, then it would be a different story. No wonder this little girl proudly wore it on her forehead to show her sisters!
"Are you happy now?" Shouhua looked at her third sister sitting next to her and saw that she was staring blankly at the pearl in her hand, so she chuckled softly.
Of course, Shouhua and Fuhui wouldn't care about this at all! Since the two of them had already moved into the Hou Mansion's courtyard, how could they possibly be jealous of the bag of small pearls their sisters had received?
"Big sister!" Kang Ning, who was still deep in thought, blushed immediately when Shou Hua asked her this, and swayed her body slightly in protest.
However, just as her older sister said, the sour feeling she had just felt had completely dissipated.
This guy actually has a conscience! He didn't forget himself!
Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, Second Sister Fu Hui suddenly frowned, and her expression became serious.
"What's wrong?" Lady Li noticed that her second daughter was acting strangely and quickly asked.
"Mother, I suddenly remember!" Fu Hui blinked, then said with a look of sudden realization, "Isn't this Young Master Yang that Fifth Sister mentioned earlier the younger brother of Consort Yang in the palace?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly fell silent again. Previously, they only knew that this playboy was a son of a high-ranking official, but they didn't know his specific identity or which powerful figure he was backing.
"This..." Fifth Sister Le Shan frowned, because she was also a little unsure.
"Hmph! This capital city is really something else! Anyone you bump into on the street is either rich or noble!"
"Since he's the son of a high-ranking official, he must come from a prominent family!"
However, judging from Leshan's relaxed tone, it was clear that she still felt that the matter was not a big deal!
"Oh dear! So what if he's an official?" At this moment, Lady Li looked completely at ease, waving her fan and laughing as she said, "If he dares to come to the door, I'll bolt him out!"
With Wei Tingyu backing her up, Li Niangzi was much bolder than before!
In her view, ordinary official families would certainly not dare to offend noble families with titles!
“Mother!” However, Fu Hui had arrived in the capital two years earlier than her mother and sisters, so she naturally knew more about the ins and outs of the place.
Seeing Li Niangzi's indifferent attitude, she quickly said, "If this Young Master Yang really has a relationship with that person in the palace, then he is much more powerful than any official!"
"That Consort Yang is the most favored beauty of the current emperor!"
"He's even more powerful than the Empress in the palace!"
"The Emperor just posthumously conferred upon his grandfather the title of Prefect of Guizhou!" "He's also going to be given an additional promotion!"
"If he really is Consort Yang's brother, then if we bump into him and get hurt, that lady in the palace will definitely hold our whole family accountable!"
"It might even implicate the Marquis!"
Fu Hui's rapid-fire remarks completely shocked her mother and sisters! After all, in their minds, no matter how high the Marquis's status was, he couldn't compare to the emperor in the palace!
“At that time, it seems that Young Master Yang did say that, in terms of relationship, the current emperor is his brother-in-law!” At this moment, Shouhua also remembered some details that happened during the day and quickly spoke up.
"At the time, I thought this playboy was just using someone else's power to deceive me!"
"He and Yang Jieyu both have the surname Yang, so it seems... could it really be true?!"
Shouhua's words immediately caused everyone present to frown, as it seemed that this possibility was becoming increasingly likely!
"Just because they both have the surname Yang... doesn't mean they're siblings, right?!"
Lady Li chuckled awkwardly twice, then said, "There are so many concubines in this palace! There are probably several surnamed Yang! Maybe they're just distant relatives of some unfavored concubine trying to curry favor!"
Of course, Li Niangzi also felt that the possibility of her saying this was unlikely, but for the time being, this was the only way she could comfort herself and her daughters.
"Sigh! I hope so!" Fu Hui could only sigh after hearing her mother's words, then nodded and said, "But Mother, for the sake of us sisters and the Li family, please promise me! No matter whether that young master Yang really comes to our door or not, you must not act recklessly!"
“But my brother-in-law clearly knows that young master Yang today!” At this moment, Fourth Sister Haode suddenly remembered something, clapped her hands and said, “But he’s not afraid of young master Yang, which means that this playboy shouldn’t be anything to be afraid of!”
"The Marquis will protect us no matter what!" After some thought, Aunt Shouhua said, "However, we can't always cause trouble for the Marquis! Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn't bother him any further!"
……
"Hey, you surnamed Chai!" At that moment, inside Panlou, Yang Xian pointed an indignant finger at Chai An and shouted, "Are you deliberately messing with me?"
"What are you saying, young master?" Chai An chuckled when he saw Yang Xian's bruised and swollen face.
The events of today have already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and Yang Xian is now considered a big celebrity in aristocratic circles!
Fan Lianghan, standing next to him, was also desperately trying to hold back his laughter.
Compared to the miserable state of Wei Tingyu, who made him faint in the Fan family courtyard, at least he was not as humiliated as Yang Xian, who made it known to everyone in the capital!
"You know perfectly well that both of Li's daughters have already married into the Marquis's household as concubines, so why did you still provoke me to cause trouble for Li's family?" Yang Xian was so angry that his teeth itched, but no matter what, Chai An was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so on the surface he still had to give him respect.
If it were anyone else, the lawless Yang Xian would have already charged up and brutally beaten them!
When this question came up, Fan Lianghan finally couldn't laugh anymore, and the expression on his face that was trying to suppress a smile froze.
Among the two daughters of the Li family who married Wei Tingyu, wasn't his original wife, Fu Hui?
It's a pity that he didn't understand the good qualities of this young woman back then, and was constantly being instigated by his mother to bully her...
Now that Fu Hui has completely left, he regrets it, but she didn't even leave him with the slightest thought of her.
Fu Hui packed up and took all her belongings, from small hairpins and jewelry to used mattresses and bedding.
For Fan Lianghan and his family, it was as if this woman had never been there at all!
Hearing Yang Xian say this, Fan Lianghan was also filled with turmoil.
"Now look what happened! He was beaten up in the street by the Marquis for harassing a concubine of the Marquis's mansion, and then stripped naked by a bunch of little beggars he stole from who-knows-where!" Yang Xian became angrier as he spoke, and his face turned red.
"Even if I told my sister about this, I doubt she would side with me!"
"So I guess I'll just have to swallow this bitter pill!"
"And isn't all of this your fault?!"
When Yang Xian uttered the last sentence, he used almost all the strength in his body to shout it out.
"Young Master Yang! Your words are far too biased!" Chai An, of course, would not argue with Yang Xian like this. Instead, he calmly smiled and asked, "The Li family has five daughters! Even if two of them have married into the Marquis's mansion, the remaining three are still unmarried, aren't they?"
"So what?" Yang Xian became even angrier upon hearing this: "I also saw the other two daughters of the Li family during the day! Judging from their ages, they should be the youngest two!"
"Even a fool could see how they were following Wei Tingyu around!"
"These five daughters of the Li family will all be entering the Jining Marquis's residence sooner or later!"
"You deliberately provoked me into making a fool of myself! That's really going too far!"
Yang Xian pursed his lips, then thought of the Li family's daughter with pigtails that he had seen during the day, and his heart began to pound wildly like a deer.
At the same time, he also felt regretful. He would like to marry such a girl, but when he saw the way she stared at Wei Tingyu, Yang Xian knew that he had no chance at all!
"What you're saying..." Chai An immediately understood after seeing Yang Xian's expression, and smiled as he said, "Aren't the three youngest members of the Li family still unmarried? Then you, Young Master Yang, have a chance!"
"Hmm?" Yang Xian was taken aback when he heard Chai An's words, but his eyes darted around, and it seemed that what he said made some sense!
It was indeed wrong of him to flirt with a concubine who had already married into the Marquis's household, and he dared not make a big fuss about it.
But why can't Wei Tingyu pursue the three unmarried daughters of the Li family?
In terms of status in the capital, although the Yang family currently has no noble title, it is not inferior to the Marquis of Jining's mansion because of the favor shown to his elder sister, Consort Yang!
