Of course, Wei Tingyu didn't intentionally create this hellish scene. It was because last night was actually the first time he had personally killed someone, and he was rather clumsy and didn't know how to control his strength.
Looking back now, I realize that I had a really good time killing people last night, so much so that the scene was indeed a bit too horrifying!
However, it was dark last night, and he hadn't had a chance to examine the scene closely. Now that it was gradually getting brighter, the two women were naturally terrified when they came out and saw this bloody, hellish scene.
Ultimately, it's because I didn't consider things thoroughly enough!
"The Marquis is right!" However, Third Sister Kang Ning was bolder. After hearing Wei Tingyu's words, she actually opened her eyes and looked at the corpses all over the courtyard. Although there was still some timidity in her eyes, she was clearly much braver than before.
At least for now, she dared to face the corpses of these thieves!
"These scoundrels actually dared to abduct innocent women in the capital!"
"And who knows how many other good families' daughters have been victimized in the past!"
"If you don't get rid of them, Lord Marquis, who knows how many more people they will harm in the future!"
"Now the Marquis is merely acting on behalf of Heaven; their fate is what they deserve!"
After Kang Ning firmly said these words, it seemed that even her own heart had been persuaded a little. She looked up at Wei Tingyu for two seconds, and then actually stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the cheek!
Fu Hui naturally took Kang Ning's words to heart.
At this moment, she recalled her panic and helplessness last night. If the Marquis had not arrived in time to rescue her, she might have lost her innocence and died by now!
It will be impossible for him to see his mother and sisters again!
Just imagine how heartbroken my mother and sisters would be if that were to happen!
Thinking about it this way, these thieves didn't care about other people's lives at all! So even if Wei Tingyu took their lives, these thieves wouldn't have the right to complain even in the underworld!
"Third sister is right!" Having figured this out, Fu Hui looked up at Wei Tingyu and said, "Lord Marquis, you have acted on behalf of Heaven to rid the women of the capital of such a scourge! You are truly a great hero!"
A great hero? Wei Tingyu burst out laughing upon hearing this. This character's name, which she had only heard in stories or read in her childhood, had actually been forced upon her by the Li sisters?!
Besides, becoming a hero is not what Wei Tingyu wants to be! Once he has enough power and influence, becoming a tyrant is his ultimate goal!
However, seeing that although the two women were still somewhat afraid of the corpses, they were much better than before, Wei Tingyu put his arm around their waists and walked straight out of the courtyard.
The carriage that the gang of thugs had previously hijacked to take Fu Hui and Kang Ning away was taken to the depths of the forest to be dealt with because they were worried about being tracked down.
The horse that pulled the carriage was ridden back and is now tied up outside the courtyard.
Now that such a means of transportation was available, Wei Tingyu was naturally unwilling to let his two wives walk.
After all, the mountain road was rugged, and he was worried that Fu Hui and Kang Ning's delicate feet would get swollen from walking!
He helped the two women onto the horse one by one, and then Wei Tingyu jumped up as well, hugging the two women from behind and simultaneously reaching out to grab the reins at the front.
Because Wei Tingyu possessed unparalleled lightness skill, his body was as light as a feather when he activated it. So, although there were three people, it was no different for the horse from carrying two young women.
In addition, Fu Hui and Kang Ning were both slender, and together they were not as heavy as a soldier in armor. Therefore, the horse only snorted as if it was somewhat dissatisfied, and then stopped making a sound!
"Let's go home!" Wei Tingyu chuckled, speaking cheerfully while gently spurring the horse's flanks.
As the horses slowly moved forward, the sisters Fu Hui and Kang Ning, both nestled in Wei Tingyu's arms, exchanged a smile and began to admire the surrounding scenery...
Seeing the desolate mountains and forests, the two women were filled with lingering fear! They never imagined they would be kidnapped by these thieves and brought to such a place!
If it weren't for the Marquis coming along, we would have been completely helpless!
As for the corpses of these thieves, Wei Tingyu thought about it for a moment and then ignored them.
Who knows how long it will be before this hidden, dilapidated house is discovered by others? When that happens, the authorities will just come to collect the body.
In the end, they might just conclude that it was some kind of shootout between thieves and close the case, but they definitely won't trace it back to Wei Tingyu!
……
Of course, they no longer felt the urgency they had when they arrived. Just as they returned to the capital, the city gates opened.
The sky had already brightened considerably, and the streets of the city were bustling with people who had gotten up early to do business.
The people of Dongshi Street witnessed this extraordinary sight once again!
Because Wei Tingyu had previously made a high-profile and public visit to Sifuzhai, these merchants and locals all recognized the appearance of this Marquis of Jining.
It's impossible for her not to know Li Jia's two daughters, Fu Hui and Kang Ning.
So when the three of them appeared together on horseback on the streets of the East Market, the once bustling street instantly became much quieter.
"What's going on? Why is the Marquis with the two daughters of the Li family..."
"Don't you know? Rumor has it that the eldest and second daughters of the Li family have already entered the Marquis's mansion as concubines!"
"What? I thought it was just a rumor? Now it seems to be true!"
"Li Niangzi is truly blessed! With two noble concubines from the Marquis's household, who will dare to offend her in the East Market from now on?"
"Wait a minute! Aren't the two beauties the Marquis is holding the second and third daughters of the Li family?"
"Yes, yes, yes! There was a rumor before that all five daughters of the Li family were betrothed to the Marquis! I thought it was false before! But now it seems..."
"Is there even a question? Look at the Marquis, he doesn't even try to hide it from anyone, he's openly announcing it to the entire East Market Street!"
"So they came from the Marquis's residence so early in the morning?"
"Why do you care where they went last night? You can't be wrong about this, can you?"
"Good heavens! My son used to have his eye on the fourth daughter of the Li family, and wanted me to propose marriage! Now it seems there's no hope! I'll save myself the trouble and effort!"
"You're definitely not the only one with this idea, brother! But is it so easy to become the brother-in-law of a marquis?"
"Li Niangzi is so lucky, she has five daughters in her family..."
Hearing the pointing and whispering of the neighbors, both Fu Hui and Kang Ning blushed with embarrassment.
However, the two of them were now enjoying the attention and even envy of the crowd while nestled in the Marquis's arms.
After all, the Marquis's actions are tantamount to announcing to the world, which is especially significant for Third Sister Kang Ning!
At the same time, it also helped the Li family completely get rid of those flies that might swarm around them. No matter how bold these common people were, they would never dare to compete with the Marquis of Jining for a woman!
……
At this time, Sifuzhai was unusually closed for business!
Meanwhile, in the room where Li Niangzi and the others lived in the back room, several women with dark circles under their eyes were in complete chaos!
Last night, Aunt Shouhua received a message from her mother. After hurriedly explaining the situation to Dou Zhao, she returned to her parents' home with several Golden Shadow Guards. So she is here now.
The two younger sisters, Fourth Sister Haode and Fifth Sister Leshan, who were playful and prone to tantrums, knelt in the center of the house, their faces streaked with tears, biting their lips and sobbing.
Their hands were raised high, and their palms were already red and swollen from being hit!
The mother, Li Niangzi, was standing in front of the two girls, holding a feather duster and slapping each of their palms while angrily scolding them.
"It's fine if you two older sisters come back! But if you don't come back... I'll pretend I never had you two!"
Of course, you could tell from Li Niangzi's expression that she was also very distressed at the moment.
The tear stains from when she cried are still clearly visible on her face!
You see, after hearing the news last night that Fu Hui and Kang Ning's carriage had been hijacked by thieves, Lady Li fainted! It took a lot of frantic efforts to revive her!
After that, she cried silently for two more hours. When there was still no news of the two girls by midnight, she hurriedly sent someone to inform her eldest daughter, Shouhua, who was still in the Marquis's mansion, while she severely disciplined the two younger girls who had caused such a big trouble.
After all, if the two girls hadn't been so disobedient last night, insisting on going against their older sisters' advice to watch a shadow puppet show and see a snake charmer, then Fu Hui and Kang Ning's Golden Shadow Guards wouldn't have all been sent to protect these two little girls.
Of course, those thieves couldn't succeed!
"Mother! I was wrong!" Fourth Sister Haode and Fifth Sister Leshan were also filled with remorse. Haode, in particular, knelt down and took two steps forward, grabbing Li Niangzi's leg and crying, "I will never dare to be playful again, Mother!"
At this moment, Wu Niang Le Shan also lowered her head and sobbed, saying that if her two older sisters did not return, she would go and pay for their lives!

Chapter 148 Taking Three Concubines at Once! The Li Family Mother and Daughter Reunited!
Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister turned around and hugged Fifth Sister, crying and shouting, "I am older than Fifth Sister! If I have made a mistake, I have made more than Fifth Sister! If anyone has to pay with their life, then pay with mine!"
Upon hearing her two daughters' words, Li Niangzi couldn't bring herself to strike with the feather duster she had raised.
After all, her second and third daughters had already been lost. If they really couldn't come back, how could she possibly lose her fourth and fifth daughters as well?
Right now, all she can do is wail and worry like her daughters.
“Mother! Fourth sister! Fifth sister!” At this moment, the eldest sister, Shouhua, who had been standing to the side with her delicate brows furrowed, spoke up: “It’s no use crying like this now.”
She wasn't so panicked at the moment! Because the Marquis had also not returned home all night, Shouhua immediately concluded that the two things must be related!
He inexplicably developed an illogical sense of trust in Wei Tingyu!
However, after hearing what Aunt Shouhua said, Li Niangzi and her two daughters, Haode and Leshan, cried even harder.
"What kind of mess have I made?!"
"My two perfectly healthy daughters..."
"How am I supposed to live?!"
Especially Li Niangzi, she cried so hard she could hardly breathe!
The first half of her life was not very happy. She raised five daughters by herself and was also coveted by her evil relatives who wanted to drive them, a widow and her daughters, away and seize the family property.
Now that they've sold off their family property and can't go back to their hometown, bringing their daughters to Beijing to make a living is an extremely difficult task, starting from scratch.
