Lian Hao, on this day of rest, early in the morning, excitedly brought Lian Xi and Lian Gao back to the Wang Fu. After entering the mansion, he found that the delicate women inside were either standing under the tall trees along the road, looking up at the leaves, or standing beside the beautiful flowers, bending down to smell the fragrance. Some of them were in groups of two or three, huddled together reading books and pointing out the contents on the pages.
Such a wonderful and indescribable scenery, if it were somewhere else, Lian Hua might have lingered for a moment. Unfortunately, these beautiful women admiring the view stopped at the various roads that he had to walk on after entering the mansion, causing him to secretly feel disgusted. These women naturally saw Lian Hua and his two companions, and one by one their faces turned crimson, with an ecstatic expression bursting forth in their eyes. The smile on Lian Hua's face gradually faded, and his expression clearly became displeased.
Some women saw Lian Hao, who was handsome and elegant. His masculine charm had always been quite captivating, causing them to blush one by one. Some of them mustered up the courage to glance at Lian Hao, who was standing still at the crossroads. Most people shyly lowered their heads, hoping that Lian Hao would pass by where they were standing. Lian Hao's face turned dark as he stopped in his tracks and said to the two young servants behind him: "Lian Xi, take the things and wait at the entrance of the courtyard. Lian Gao, follow me."
Lian Hao chose to walk on the road with the least number of people, and the women standing by the side of the road, one by one, greeted Lian Hao with unusual joy. Their smiling faces and soft voices couldn't get a glance from Lian Hao. They could only see his cold face as he quickly walked past. As Lian Hao walked away, he often left behind tears of sorrowful women. Lian Gao followed behind him, looking back at the bowed heads, shaking his head in silence, thinking that their families had foolish hearts.
Lian Hao first went to Lian Xuan's courtyard. In the courtyard, he asked about the pregnant second aunt and smiled at the second lady who was admiring flowers: "Second Aunt, you are thinking of Second Brother with all your heart, wanting to find a beautiful concubine for him, I think everyone in the Wang Manor knows about it. Second Aunt, after I entered the manor, I saw your sisters-in-law and cousins, each one delicate as a flower, waiting by the road. It seems that when Second Brother returns to the manor, he will have plenty of opportunities to appreciate them and must be able to choose one or two to bring into his chambers, relieving your worries."
Lian Xuan smiled and looked at Lian Xuan's wife, who was lost in thought, and added another sentence: "Second sister-in-law, beauty can't confuse people, but people can be confused. Every day facing so many beautiful women, second sister-in-law is now pregnant. Even if second brother has a good heart for second sister-in-law, he can't stop other women with ulterior motives from making a move." After saying this, Lian Xuan smiled and suggested to the second lady who was trying to muster up her spirit: "Second sister-in-law, you must take good care of your body and mind, every aspect of your life should be carefully taken care of... most importantly, you have to keep my little nephew safe."
Lian Hao walked out of Lian Xuan's courtyard and headed towards the one where Shi Zi lived. Lian Gao followed behind him, reminding him in a low voice, "Master, I saw that Madame Er's face didn't look good, she's pregnant, you provoked her. If something happens to her, Master Er won't let you off easily." Lian Hao heard this and burst out laughing, saying, "Don't worry, your Master Er will definitely thank me for what I said. Who wants to spend all day watching those women with ulterior motives, and still have to be on guard against them? Madame Er must have felt uncomfortable, and when your Master Er finds out, he'll surely come to scold me a few words, at that time I'll just take it."
Lian Hao arrived at the prince's courtyard, and it was still relatively early. The master and mistress of the house were both busy with their own affairs and weren't in the courtyard. Lian Hao directly ordered the people in the courtyard to bring over good tables, chairs, and benches, placing them in the center of the courtyard. He wanted to fully appreciate the scenery in the courtyard. The head servant woman of the prince's courtyard personally served tea to Lian Hao, who after taking a sip, smiled and nodded in appreciation, saying: "Big brother is indeed a man of refined taste, he has more thought than I, this rustic person. Of course, to fully appreciate the scenery, one must have good tea and water, and even better if accompanied by two clever and charming women."
The housekeeper was an old woman who had always followed the young master. She looked at Lianhao's expression and listened to his words, knowing that this young master was extremely unhappy. He was obviously here to find fault with his elder brother and sister-in-law. The housekeeper quickly made eye contact with the people around her, telling them to hurry up and inform the young master and his wife. Lianhao saw the housekeeper's eye signal, he smiled and sat in the courtyard, smiling at the housekeeper and said: "Lian aunt, why can't I see those colorful women in this courtyard? If there are any, call two of them to come to the courtyard and chat with me for a while.
The housekeeper listened to the meaning of these words, thoroughly understanding that it was the young master's cousins and sisters who were too eager to please him, but unexpectedly provoked this troublesome young master. She understood Lianhao's meaning, her face still slightly sinking, saying: "Third Master, how can our courtyard accommodate those flowery women? If you want to find that kind of woman, go outside the Wang Fu."
Lian Hao glanced at the changing expression of the housekeeper, smiled and nodded: "Your wife is present, hearing my kind reminder, she will only be grateful for my concern for her brother and sister-in-law, and will not get angry with me. Lian Sao, who are you showing your face to now? And what's this idle anger of yours?"
The housekeeper knew that when Lianhao was in a bad mood, she had to be careful and serve him carefully. In all these years, it was rare to see him have an outburst, and she had forgotten that this master did not play by the rules. If he didn't let him have his way, he would make a scene, and wouldn't go looking for excuses; usually, he would just order someone to be beaten. The housekeeper quickly smiled like a spring breeze at Lianhao and said: "Master, I was just angry with those people, they were all ungrateful and provoked Third Master's anger."
He glanced at the housekeeper, who looked frightened, and nodded with a light smile. He didn't respond to her words, but continued: "I think my sister-in-law is very good at managing her own courtyard, it's much cleaner and more refreshing in here. Unfortunately, along the roads of the Wang mansion, there are so many women dressed in bright colors, they seem to be waiting by the roadside, some of them even greeting passersby like they're welcoming guests. Alas, I think my sister-in-law has her brother's best interests at heart and wouldn't choose such disreputable women."
Lian Hao drained the water from his teacup and gazed at the gate of the courtyard. He said to the housekeeper, "Bring tea, I've just returned from outside and my throat is parched. Yet you want me to say a lot to you." The housekeeper's face was a mixture of tears and laughter as she retreated slightly, lowering her head. "Third Master, I'll go get you some fresh tea water." Lian Hao didn't look at her expression; he simply tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The housekeeper turned her head and hurried away, and after a while, she came over with a teapot of hot water in her hand. The housekeeper smiled and poured tea for Lianhao. When the young master and his wife returned to the courtyard hand in hand, Lianhao was leaning against the table, chatting enthusiastically with the housekeeper. The little maids around them were all listening with flushed faces. The young master and his wife exchanged a glance, both of them looking somewhat helpless at how Lianhao had come to their courtyard to flirt with the hearts of the little maids.
Lian Hao looked at the crown prince and his wife walking into the courtyard, sat up straight and smiled at them, saying: "Big brother, big sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you two for a long time. Come sit with me in the courtyard and chat for a bit." The crown prince shook his head slightly towards his wife who was about to walk away, saying: "You stay and listen to him talk." The crown princess had no choice but to sit down next to her husband in the courtyard, listening to Lian Hao say: "Big brother, big sister-in-law, I've been sitting in your courtyard for a while now. The little maids here are also watching us, and I think they're too well-behaved, unlike those women standing by the road in the mansion who seem more lively."
The couple's faces turned ugly at the same time, and Lian Ang glared at Lian Hao, saying: "Wooden head, there are many women in the mansion now, all of whom are relatives of your two sisters-in-law. If this gets out, will these women still be able to get married?" Lian Hao smiled and looked at Lian Ang, saying: "Big brother, it's good that you're straightforward about being a relative's daughter. I originally thought they were all people prepared by the two sisters-in-law for the two brothers' rooms, and was thinking whether to ask the sisters-in-law to take care of them or not."
"Big brother, it's a good thing I didn't let my companions follow me today to join in the fun, or else the Wang family would have lost face outside. You don't know that as soon as I entered the mansion, I almost thought I had entered the wrong door and wanted to retreat immediately to check the door sign. The women standing under the trees by the roadside and beside the flower clusters all looked unlike decent women. As for me, it's been a long time since I've returned from my travels, and I can still withstand these temptations of feminine charm. Poor big brother and second brother, you two face this array of fragrant beauties every day, and so far, none of you have fallen or gotten into trouble with unrelated people entering the mansion - your self-control must be quite good."
The young lady's expression was slightly agitated after hearing this, and Lianhao had seen through her hidden thoughts. She looked at Lian'ang with a thoughtful gaze, saw him trying to stifle a smile, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She reached out and patted Lianhao heavily on the back, saying: "Wooden head, the one who's truly to blame for this matter is you. It was because of your situation that our grandmother and mother asked your two sisters-in-law to bring some women from their hometown to keep them company." Lianhao listened with a mocking expression, glanced at Lian'ang, shook his head lightly, and said: "Big brother, I'm afraid our grandmother and mother aren't just thinking of me alone. They're also considering the two elder brothers."
The young lady's face turned pale, her family had sent so many women, all of whom were somewhat related to her. Those delicate little faces, looking at Lian Ang, all had a look of admiration in their eyes, she could see it clearly from the side. Lian Ang glanced at the pale-faced madam and glared at Lian Hao, saying: "You're talking nonsense and scaring your sister-in-law. My wife and I are living our own lives with our children, I won't go and provoke those women with so many thoughts."
