A time-travel story where I forcefully marry the leading lady in a film/TV series!

Moreover, Lady Li had even considered marrying her daughter into the Marquis's household! Now that she had met Dou Zhao, the legitimate wife, she naturally wanted to curry favor with her to pave the way for her future daughter!

"I heard from Sister Ming that the Li family has several daughters!" Dou Zhao smiled and nodded at Madam Li's rather nervous appearance, and continued to ask, "But this little girl speaks in a flustered manner and doesn't give a clear answer, so I still don't know how many daughters you have?"

"Five..." Upon hearing Dou Zhao's words, Li Niangzi didn't think much of it and subconsciously stretched out one hand, revealing five fingers. However, before she could finish speaking, she immediately realized that something seemed amiss.

After all, there's a saying in the capital: "Thieves don't break into a house with five daughters!" Providing dowries for five daughters is no small expense!

Even thieves wouldn't bother breaking into a house like this, because there's probably nothing left to steal...

Fearing she would lose face in front of the noble ladies of the Marquis's mansion, Lady Li quickly withdrew one finger.

“Four…” But then she thought again, what good would it do to lie to Dou Zhao now? Wouldn’t he find out everything in the future anyway?

"Only one of them got married..." In the end, Li Niangzi had no choice but to tell the truth in embarrassment.

"I see!" Dou Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Then please don't blame me for saying this, but for a family like yours, I'm afraid your dowry will be over a thousand strings of cash!"

"In recent years, the trend of lavish dowries has become increasingly prevalent in Beijing. Without a generous dowry, a daughter cannot find a good husband!"

"A thousand strings of cash..." Upon hearing this, Lady Li's legs went weak. How could she possibly come up with such a huge sum of money? Right now, she only had a little over 200 strings of cash in assets, and she was already living off it all!

“It’s not entirely hopeless!” At this moment, Miao Ansu smiled and stepped forward to look Third Sister Kang Ning up and down, saying, “Putting aside everything else, at least our Marquis’s mansion doesn’t require any dowry from the daughters who marry into the family!”

"The Marquis's residence..." Lady Li was taken aback, then glanced at Wei Tingyu beside her, her eyes immediately darting around.

What do the eldest daughter-in-law and the concubine, Madam Miao, mean by speaking like this? Could it be that they want to marry their daughter into the Marquis's household?

If that's the case, that would be wonderful! It's like a two-way street!

Chapter 108 Breaking the Taboo with Wang Yingxue! A New Achievement!

"Great! I think this Miss Kangning is quite nice!" At this moment, the carefree Zhao Zhangru nodded and said, "I'm the only woman in this Marquis's mansion who practices martial arts. It's so boring!"

"This younger sister Kang Ning has such a fiery and straightforward personality! She actually dared to chase after this little thief in the street, which suits my personality perfectly! If she enters the manor, I'll have someone to practice martial arts with in the future!"

Upon hearing this, all the women present were speechless. Zhao Zhangru's words were far too blunt!

Kang Ning, in particular, even blushed slightly!

However, Zhao Zhangru's straightforward personality made Kang Ning's impression of him improve significantly.

However, Zhao Zhangru was unaware that although Kang Ning had a strong and straightforward personality, she didn't particularly enjoy martial arts! On the contrary, if her fifth sister, Le Shan, could enter the Marquis's mansion, she and Zhao Zhangru would definitely be a great pair of playmates!

"What nonsense are you spouting again?" He Weifang quickly tapped Zhao Zhangru's forehead lightly with her fan. He Weifang was the oldest person in the Hou Mansion, and only she would reprimand Zhao Zhangru like this.

"Ouch!" How could Zhao Zhangru, a woman who loved martial arts, be hurt by a light tap from a fan? Nevertheless, she pretended to be in pain and started to whine to Wei Tingyu.

"My lord! Look, Sister He is bullying me again!"

Seeing Zhao Zhang's current delicate and pretentious little woman-like appearance, Kang Ning's eyes widened in shock!

Good heavens! Can this person really have this kind of personality?

If you hadn't witnessed her transformation firsthand, who would believe that this was the same heroine who had just taken down a petty thief with a single punch and kick?

"Alright! Since we're all here to accompany Sister Ming to offer incense today, let's not say anything more!" Dou Zhao smiled slightly, then said to Dou Ming while fanning herself with a round fan, "Sister Ming will be officially entering the manor soon, so let's not waste time and anger the Bodhisattva!"

Only then did Li Niangzi and Kang Ning realize that the entire Hou family had come out today to accompany Dou Ming, this little girl!

That's right! This young lady is about to get married, she must be both nervous and excited!

It's perfectly normal to want to offer incense to calm your mind when you're feeling anxious.

However, the fact that the whole family came out to accompany her shows Dou Ming's status in the Marquis's household. Not only the Marquis, but her other sisters also doted on her!

What a harmonious backyard! This is truly the kind of haven that even the daughters of wealthy families could only dream of!

"Has Madam Li finished offering incense? Shall we go together?" Dou Zhao then turned to Madam Li and asked.

"Not yet! Not yet!" Lady Li was taken aback, then quickly nodded and said, "Since Madam doesn't mind our humble status, then let's go together!"

Just kidding! Opportunities to get closer to Dou Zhao right now are rare and precious!

Now that we've come this far, there's no reason for us to let this opportunity slip by!

Even if Li Niangzi was interrupted by this little thief when she was offering incense, she would definitely have to go back and offer incense with Dou Zhao and the others again.

"Why don't you take a stroll around here, Lord Marquis? Otherwise you'll get bored with us!" Dou Zhao nodded, then turned and smiled at Wei Tingyu.

"Isn't the Marquis going?" Lady Li was taken aback, not expecting that Wei Tingyu wouldn't be going with them.

“The Marquis doesn’t believe in gods or Buddhas!” Miao Ansu said from the side, “So he’s just here with us!”

Even though he doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas, he's willing to come with you to burn incense? What an exceptionally good husband he is!

Even Li Niangzi couldn't help but swallow hard! How come she had never heard of such a man in the world before?

“Perfect timing! Let’s chat after we finish offering incense!” Dou Zhao smiled slightly, then took Li Niangzi’s hand and walked towards the main hall on the steps.

Do you want to talk to me some more? What should we talk about?

Could it be that Madam Dou wants to talk to me about which daughter she should send into the mansion as a concubine?

That would indeed be a good thing! Li Niangzi's eyes darted around, and then she felt a sense of anticipation.

After all, she was certain that any of her four unmarried daughters would be willing to be placed in the Marquis's mansion! Including her third daughter, Kang Ning!

……

"Hiss..." Lady Li moved her legs, which were already sore from kneeling, and couldn't help but gasp softly.

Looking at Dou Zhao and the others beside her, all of them were kneeling and praying with utmost piety, and Li Niangzi felt somewhat helpless.

After all, she was over 30 years old, so she couldn't compare to these teenage girls! Besides, this was the second time she had knelt down in a row.

My legs are so numb I can't stand it anymore!

However, in that moment of distraction, she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that Wang Yingxue, who was kneeling at the very back of the group of women, had quietly gotten up and left the hall.

Li Niangzi was very curious about her best friend! She had been surprised that Wang Yingxue was among the wives and concubines of the Marquis's mansion, and even treated Dou Zhao, a younger man, with such respect!

Before she could even ask him directly, she frowned upon seeing his strange behavior.

There must be something wrong!

Thinking of this, Li Niangzi quietly got up and secretly followed them out.

The other women who were secretly kneeling and worshipping did not notice this scene.

……

Li Niangzi followed Wang Yingxue all the way from the main hall toward the side shop, and even took a fork in the road, which led directly through a quiet grove of trees.

The scenery here is indeed quite unique!

However, Li Niangzi had no time to appreciate it at the moment, because her best friend's actions were becoming increasingly strange!

Could it be that my best friend secretly ran away to have an affair?

After much thought, Li Niangzi could only come up with this one possibility. After all, the two were close in age and were currently at the age where they were both very sexually active! Sometimes, they couldn't help but have erotic dreams while sleeping!

However, Li Niangzi was a widow, so she could only indulge in erotic fantasies. In this respect, she envied Wang Yingxue, at least Wang Yingxue still had a husband!

Even so, Wang Yingxue still couldn't help but have an affair with someone.

The thought of this possibility actually gave Li Niangzi a thrill! Her face flushed slightly!

But where exactly is my best friend heading after all this twists and turns? Although meeting your lover should be done in secret, this place is way too remote and secretive!

However, just as Li Niangzi was silently complaining in her heart, a figure appeared in her line of sight.

She saw a young man wearing a jade fox mask standing in the bamboo forest in the distance. He was tall and elegant, and it was obvious that he was also waiting for someone.

Could this person be Wang Yingxue's lover? Li Niangzi immediately wondered to herself!

However, upon seeing that Wang Yingxue had also spotted the figure, she quickened her pace, her jade-like feet almost flying as she rushed towards him, her skirt billowing as she lifted it.

Lady Li was finally certain; it was definitely this handsome, foxy young man! The two had arranged to meet here beforehand!

And things unfolded exactly as Li Niangzi had predicted. Wang Yingxue flew like a bird into the arms of the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman, and the two of them embraced each other!

Oh my god! It really is infidelity!

Her best friend was having a secret rendezvous with her lover in broad daylight in the bamboo forest behind the Buddhist temple...

This is so...exciting!

Since Li Niangzi didn't know Dou Laoqi, she naturally wouldn't feel indignant on his behalf! Besides, she understood perfectly well the bitterness a woman of her age felt without a husband's affection.

At this moment, Li Niangzi not only did not feel that Wang Yingxue's actions were wrong, but also felt a sense of envy rising up in her heart!

……

"My love!" Wang Yingxue finally rushed into Wei Tingyu's arms, feeling his broad and strong chest, and closed her eyes with a happy expression.

Seeing the beautiful woman in his arms looking so alluring, Wei Tingyu naturally couldn't resist! After all, having an affair in the bamboo forest behind the Buddhist temple was indeed very exciting to think about!

Without saying a word, he reached out and gently lifted Wang Yingxue's chin, then opened his mouth and kissed her directly.

"Mmm!" Wang Yingxue felt the warm breath from her husband's mouth and nose, and naturally could not react any other way. She immediately leaned against his chest, her body going limp, and her little mouth was completely at his mercy!

A moment later, this long kiss finally came to an end! Wei Tingyu picked up Wang Yingxue and strode into the depths of the bamboo forest.
