As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, Aunt Shouhua's eyes lit up, because this was the name she had just thought of!
Good heavens! I and the Marquis are truly a match made in heaven!
It seems this marriage was destined by heaven! I wasted so many years before, and now I've finally met my destined emperor in the capital!
Thank you, Moon God, for not giving up on me!
"Yes, yes!" San Niang Kang Ning's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, but she was purely happy because of the good name!
Exactly! Since these people in the capital like to feign refinement, let's just give them some refinement!
Why not just make the same product more affordable and give it a nice name to make it seem more classy?
Thinking that the problems that had plagued the Li family had been so easily solved with the Marquis's guidance, Kang Ning looked at Wei Tingyu with admiration in her eyes...
At that moment, a gentle knock sounded on the door not far away once again.
Kang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'll go open the door!" He then walked straight toward the door.
This time, Aunt Shouhua was no longer as nervous and worried as before. After all, with the Marquis here, she was not afraid of any villains causing trouble in the shop at night!
Looking at Wei Tingyu sitting in the chair, she felt incredibly at ease! She could stand obediently by his side for a hundred years without feeling tired!
When Kang Ning opened the door, she was astonished to find two women who looked exactly alike standing in the doorway!
Judging from her attire, she should be a maid from a wealthy family, but her demeanor is quite outstanding, even comparable to some young ladies from moderately wealthy families...
Twins with such good looks are especially hard to find. Kang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then became somewhat puzzled.
Fortunately, the other person was a woman, so she wasn't nervous. She simply asked, "Who are you two looking for?"
“We…” The twin women were also taken aback, but did not speak. Instead, they peeked inside through the gap next to Kang Ning.
Upon seeing Wei Tingyu, their eyes immediately lit up.
"Let them in!" Wei Tingyu said, having already seen who they were.
"Yes!" Kang Ning was still puzzled, but since Wei Tingyu had spoken, she naturally dared not disobey, so she obediently stepped aside.
The two twin maids were very polite. They went straight into the room and bowed deeply in front of Wei Tingyu.
At this point, Shouhua and Kangning must have realized that these two women had come to see the Marquis.
"Greetings, ladies!" After bowing to Wei Tingyu, Su Xin and Su Lan glanced at Kang Ning, who had returned, and Shou Hua, who had been standing beside Wei Tingyu, and then bowed to them as well.
"Su Xin and Su Lan are the personal maids of the eldest lady!" Of course, after bowing, the two women introduced themselves again.
"Please rise, ladies!" Upon hearing this, Aunt Shouhua quickly nodded, indicating that Suxin and Sulan did not need to be so polite.
In her opinion, if the maids around her had such temperament and refinement, then Madam Dou Zhao must also be an extraordinary woman!
After entering the household, there will definitely be a lot of dealings with her, so for now, she is naturally being very polite to her two maids.
"My lord... everything is going exactly as you planned..." Su Xin got up and walked over to Wei Tingyu, whispering in his ear.
Shouhua and Kangning naturally pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what she was saying to the Marquis.
However, the other person's voice was too soft; apart from the first sentence, they couldn't hear anything after that.
Seeing that Wei Tingyu's expression seemed to have become happier, the two sisters relaxed as well.
"The Marquis is so happy, it must be something good!" 4.2 "The Marquis!" After Su Xin and Su Lan left, Kang Ning's curiosity could not be suppressed, and he quickly looked at Wei Tingyu and asked, "Is there something good happening at home?"
After all, they are about to enter the Marquis's mansion, so if it is a happy event in the mansion, it should not be kept from them, since they are not outsiders!
Shouhua nodded, then looked at Wei Tingyu with hopeful eyes.
"It's not a matter concerning the Marquis's residence!" Wei Tingyu said with a slight smile, "It's a matter concerning the Fan family!"
"The Fan family?" Shouhua and Kangning exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing confusion and bewilderment.
"Does the Marquis mean...it has something to do with my second sister?" Shouhua was the first to react. Right now, the only person Wei Tingyu could be connected to the Fan family with was Fu Hui! Apart from that, he had no need to care about the messy affairs of the Fan family.
“That’s right!” Wei Tingyu nodded and said, “But I can’t tell you right now!”
Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Kang Ning immediately pouted unhappily. She was just naturally curious, and knowing that good news was being shared but she couldn't know the details made her unhappy.
Shouhua shook her head slightly, indicating to her sister not to press the Marquis for more questions, as talking too much was not the behavior of a good woman!
There must be a reason why your husband isn't telling you. You'll find out when the time is right, won't you?
Seeing her eldest sister Shouhua's signal, Kang Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her eldest sister was practically the epitome of feminine virtue throughout history!
Even if the Marquis ordered her to commit suicide right now, she probably wouldn't hesitate for a second!
"But you'll all be coming with me to the Fan residence tomorrow to witness this moment!" Wei Tingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Kang Ning's expression, and said, "You'll see why I'm so happy then!"

Chapter 119: Winning Over Aunt Shouhua! The Gentle Young Woman's Heart Returns!
"Could it be... that His Highness has already figured out a way to get Second Sister out of that hellhole of the Fan family?" Kang Ning's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Wei Tingyu's words.
You should know that this is not only what her second sister Fu Hui is thinking about, but also what all the mothers, daughters and sisters in the Li family are looking forward to!
After seeing Wei Tingyu nod slightly, Kang Ning was finally satisfied! As long as he had this guarantee, it didn't matter whether he knew the details or not!
Tomorrow, I'll be looking forward to going to the Fan family with the Marquis's mother to see a good show!
Shouhua's eyes lit up as well, after all, she was even more anxious about this than Kangning! Only she and her mother, Li Niangzi, could truly understand the pain of her second sister, Fu Hui, living like a widow!
The Marquis has already made his plans, and tomorrow he will be able to rescue his second sister, Fu Hui, from this hellish situation and give her a new life!
Lord Hou truly deserves to be the guardian of the Li family! Thinking of this, Shouhua's eyes lit up when she looked at Wei Tingyu again!
Bang...bang bang...
At the same time, the sound of the night watchman's stick came from the street outside, pulling Shouhua back to reality from her previous adoring thoughts.
"My lord!" Shouhua blinked, a hint of reluctance appearing on her face. But she still respectfully bowed to Wei Tingyu and said, "It's getting late, please return to your residence to rest early!"
As soon as Shouhua finished speaking, even Kang Ning's face showed a hint of reluctance.
However, having been carefully taught by her mother, Lady Li, since childhood, she naturally understood this principle. After all, the Marquis was not yet her son-in-law, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay!
"What's going on? The Li family has six tigers in one family..." Wei Tingyu was naturally unwilling to leave in the current atmosphere. He smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will eat you all up?"
After all, he had already given his betrothal gifts. If he could only look at this beautiful young woman but not touch her, wouldn't that make him unbearably itchy?
"What do you mean by 'six tigers in one family'?" The eldest sister, Shouhua, blushed immediately when she heard the Marquis mention this nickname, because in her opinion, it was not a good reputation.
Describing a woman as a tiger is clearly implying she's jealous and fierce, isn't it? But my own mother, daughters, and sisters are definitely not like that!
"My sisters and I lost our father at a young age, and our mother raised us all by herself!"
"But those wicked relatives in that family completely disregarded blood ties and actually tried to seize my family's land!"
"In order to protect the land and us, Mother had no choice but to pretend to be fierce!"
"And those wicked relatives even spread rumors that our whole family are tigresses...28"
At this point, Shouhua felt wronged, and her eyes welled up with tears.
As the eldest daughter, she was naturally the first to understand things and the one who felt most deeply about her mother's hardships!
"I know!" Wei Tingyu hadn't expected that his casual joke would almost make Madam Shouhua cry. He quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and gently comforted her, "I know your family's character best. You won't believe the nonsense of outsiders!"
"I was just joking with you!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Shouhua felt much more at ease after hearing Wei Tingyu's words! She raised her head and looked at him with gratitude. Especially after seeing how sincere Wei Tingyu's words were and how genuine his eyes were, Shouhua was even more moved.
It is said that a scholar will die for one who understands him, and a woman will adorn herself for one who appreciates her!
However, once a woman meets a soulmate who understands her, she can be willing to give her all!
Just like Shouhua right now! If an assassin suddenly appeared and wielded a sharp sword to stab Wei Tingyu, Shouhua would definitely stand in front of him without hesitation!
"Elder sister is just worried that the Marquis is still lingering here at night, and if word gets out, it will damage his reputation!" Kang Ning slowly stepped forward and said to Wei Tingyu.
Kang Ning was surprised to find that she wasn't jealous at all when she witnessed the emotional exchange between the Marquis and her elder sister; on the contrary, she was deeply moved.
"How could my reputation be damaged?" Wei Tingyu blinked and looked at Kang Ning, asking in return.
“We know that the Marquis has already given the betrothal gifts… but outsiders don’t know!” Kang Ning blushed and quickly explained when she saw Wei Tingyu looking at her, “Once outsiders find out, who knows what they will think? After all, the world is full of treacherous people…”
Wei Tingyu nodded; he understood Kang Ning's meaning. Although the two families were already engaged, it hadn't been made public yet.
However, these two girls were only concerned about their own reputations at the moment, and didn't mention their own good name at all, which moved Wei Tingyu even more.
"What's so difficult about that?" Wei Tingyu shrugged easily, then took Kang Ning's hand.
He then took the two sisters' hands and said, "Even if people see this, it's not a big deal. Tomorrow I will have Lady Li sign a concubine contract, which will silence all gossip!"
Shouhua and Kangning were taken aback, and then blushed at the same time.
Tomorrow? That's way too fast!
Although they were nervous, they were also filled with anticipation and joy! After all, the Marquis hadn't hesitated at all, which showed that he genuinely wanted to take his sisters into his household!
"The Marquis has his own plans, and we don't need to make demands..." Of course, what Aunt Shouhua was most afraid of was that Wei Tingyu would misunderstand her. Especially if the Marquis took what her third sister Kang Ning had just said as forcing him to marry the Li sisters quickly, that would be terrible.
"I know!" Wei Tingyu smiled when he saw Shouhua's nervous look and said, "I know your character! That's why I proposed marriage!"
Wei Tingyu's words were clearly praising the Li sisters for their noble character, and he was very satisfied.
"Then, Lord Marquis... will you stay a little longer?" Shouhua said with a sweet smile, her heart filled with joy.
