"Could it be that Lord Li is really afraid of his wife?" Li Sanniang asked curiously.

Wei Zhong frowned and said, "Does a man need to look at a woman's face when socializing and doing things outside? As a man, you should have the mind and bearing of a good man."

Li Yuyan couldn't believe that Wei Zhong would say such a thing in front of everyone. Which father would be happy to see his son-in-law surrounded by beautiful women? Wasn't he afraid of wronging his daughter?

Thinking of Bingyan's stubborn and ruthless expression when she looked at Wei Zhong, Li Yuyan felt heartbroken.

Boss Gong exchanged glances with Cheng Yang and said with a smile, "Since Lord Wei has said so, Lord Li, you don't have to be polite."

Cheng Yang took the opportunity to sit down, his body close to Li Yuyan.

A cold light flashed across Li Yuyan's eyes. He didn't push her away forcefully, but deep down in his heart, no one knew what he was preparing for.

……

While Xiao was away, Wei Bingyan and two maids inquired about the Wei family's situation over the past six months.

Li Xiaoshi was still the concubine that Wei Zhong cared about the most, but in addition to Yuexian and Qingbo, two more maids were taken in last month, and none of those concubines and maids were pregnant.

Wei Zhong hasn't stayed in Xiao's house for three months!

Hearing these words, Wei Bingyan felt a raging fire of anger boiling in her heart. Fortunately, her mother had let it go long ago, otherwise, how sad would she be facing Wei Zhong's fickleness and intentional or unintentional neglect?

Fortunately, my mother already has A Sheng.

But how come none of them got pregnant? Wei Bingyan was confused deep down. It was one thing that Li Xiaoshi didn't get pregnant, but it wasn't possible that so many maids didn't get pregnant.

This confusion only flashed through Wei Bingyan's mind, and she didn't take it seriously.

"What does this Aunt Li usually do at home?" Wei Bingyan asked. She always felt that Li Xiaoshi was a dangerous existence.

This kind of danger is not that she threatens her mother's position, but for their Wei family.

Xiao He said, "The old man is not familiar with Baiyue, so he always takes her out to socialize. Madam doesn't put a curfew on her. She usually stays at home, but she goes out occasionally, most of the time to the Gong family."

Li Xiaoshi was a Baiyue person, and was given to Wei Zhong sincerely by the Gong family. Wei Zhong was happy to see her visiting the Gong family on a daily basis.

Wei Bingyan wanted to continue asking, but Xiao came back, so she stopped the topic.

At dusk, Wei Zhong sent someone to call him and Li Yuyan to go out for the banquet, and told Wei Bingyan not to wait for him.

In the early morning, Wei Zhong had already told Wei Bingyan in front of her that he and Li Yuyan were going to Caifeng Tower. Wei Bingyan didn't take it to heart, and after having dinner with Xiao, she went back with her maid.

When Li Yuyan came back, it was already dark. Knowing that Wei Bingyan had already gone to bed, he rested in the study.

The next day, Wei Bingyan woke up and found that there was no one around. She called Bai Binghui in and found out that Li Yuyan was resting in the study.

After she tidied up, she went to the study.

Li Yuyan drank last night and just woke up. There was still a very faint smell of alcohol in the study.

"Why did you drink so much last night?" Wei Bingyan twisted a silk towel to wipe his face and asked softly. He didn't drink much on weekdays. Even when he went out for socializing, he didn't smell of alcohol when he came back.

"I went to Caifeng Tower with my father-in-law last night, and I couldn't refuse, so I had a few drinks." If he wanted to know more about the unknown secrets of those people in Baiyue, he had to become one with them.

Wei Bingyan hummed softly and pinched his face, "Where is Caifeng Tower?"

Li Yuyan kissed her on the face a few times and said with a smile: "I heard from others that the place is very famous in Baiyue, but women are not allowed to enter."

That's a brothel! What a noble and elegant name.

"Are the girls there very beautiful?" Wei Bingyan looked at him with amusement. Just now, Anxiang secretly told her that the clothes he changed last night had a fragrance.

Li Yuyan nodded, "I heard from others that she was very beautiful, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, I felt something was strange."

Wei Bingyan let him hold her in her arms and listened to him, "Baiyue and the capital are a hundred thousand miles apart. No matter how good my reputation is in the capital, it is impossible for it to spread to Baiyue. Last night I realized that Li Sanniang from Caifeng Tower seemed to know a lot about me..."

It felt as if someone had already prepared to give Miss Cheng Yang to him sincerely!

"Li Sanniang is the owner of Caifeng Tower?" Wei Bingyan knew that he was called to Caifeng Tower by Wei Zhong, but he was still a little worried deep down.

She just didn't like him meeting women other than her. Even though this kind of thought would be considered as intolerant and narrow-minded, she just didn't want to!

Li Yuyan took her hand and appeared near the desk. "This is what Fang Feiting and Su Leiye found out. The owner of Caifenglou is secretive and it's impossible to find out who he is."

"Is it opened by the Gong family or the Fang family?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"No, on the contrary...it looks more like the one in Beijing." Li Yuyan whispered his suspicions.

He was certain that behind the Gong family there were some destined noblemen from the capital, but he had not yet found out how far these people from the capital could reach.

Baiyue is like a piece of delicious white meat, everyone wants to have a taste of it.

"What are you going to do?" It was difficult for him to carry out such a business trip. If he was not careful, he would offend those people in the capital. If he was particularly ruthless, even if His Majesty wanted to help him, he would have to consider the face of the royal family. He would be in a dilemma.

Li Yuyan didn't seem to be worried. He smiled and said, "We'll take it one step at a time. Xiao Nianguang might come to Baiyue today. I'm afraid I can't take care of him. You have to help me keep an eye on him and don't let the Xiao family get involved in Baiyue's affairs."

Wei Bingyan responded and suddenly looked at him seriously.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuyan stood up and looked at her, noticing that her eyes were unprecedentedly serious.

"I know your business trip is very important, but..." Wei Bingyan helped him clean up the flying collar of his clothes and said slowly, "Please don't tease the gorgeous and beautiful peach blossoms. There are so many beauties in Caifeng Tower, and there are many who come to your door. I, your wife, don't have the tolerance to tolerate others.

Third Brother, you must take good care of yourself. Take good care of yourself."

Li Yuyan's eyes lit up with a brilliant smile after hearing this, and he gently tapped Wei Bingyan's nose, "No matter how many beauties there are, none of them can compare to my little junior sister."

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly and took the initiative to kiss him. "The old man is back today. I'm going to the trading port to pick him up. Come over after you're done with your work."

"Okay!" He had many questions to ask the old man.

Li Yuyan believed that the reason why Old Master Wei finally decided to stay in Baiyue was not just to explore the mysteries, but must have other purposes. Perhaps this time, the confusion in his heart could be resolved by the old master.
