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

At this moment, the two of them were anxiously looking around, and as soon as they saw Li Niangzi, they immediately came to greet her.

"Kang Ning?" Lady Li raised her eyelids, and upon seeing her daughter, she immediately opened her mouth, as if she had a lot to say to her.

After all, exploring secrets is a hobby for women, but keeping secrets is really too much to ask of them!

However, when she thought about how this matter concerned the reputation of her best friend Wang Yingxue and the reputation of her two daughters, Li Niangzi swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

"Master! I haven't seen you for so long, I've been so worried!" said the old servant beside Lady Li, his face full of anxiety.

"Why are you two the only ones left here?" Li Niangzi blinked, looked around, and then asked with some surprise.

"Everyone just finished burning incense and paying respects to Buddha and came out to find you gone!" Kang Ning said with a smirk, "The Marquis and the ladies of the manor have already taken their leave!"

"Oh! Is that so!" Li Niangzi nodded subconsciously, but then suddenly looked at her daughter and asked, "Where is your Aunt Wang? Is she here?"

"Of course Aunt Wang is here!" Kang Ning frowned when she saw her mother's expression, wondering why her mother would ask that.

After all, Wang Yingxue came to offer incense with the Marquis and the others. If there were one less person, why would the Marquis and the others have left first?

They'll definitely stay here and wait!

"When we saw you disappear, everyone was very worried! Madam Wang from the Dou family originally wanted to wait for you, but the Marquis told them that you were just wandering around nearby and would be back soon, so they left with peace of mind!" The old servant suddenly interjected at this moment.

Li Niangzi nodded, thinking to herself that Wang Yingxue still had some conscience! She left without even asking about her situation.

But Wang Yingxue was there when everyone finished burning incense? Could it be that everything I saw before was an illusion? Was I being haunted in broad daylight?

Li Niangzi's doubts grew, but her hand touched the jade pendant she had just picked up.

Yes! This jade pendant is the best evidence! It proves that all of this is not an illusion!

Presumably, Wang Yingxue returned just before the final moment of the Buddhist ritual, then entered the main hall and knelt in her place again, so that no one else noticed that she had been gone for a full quarter of an hour.

It seems this woman is quite experienced in this matter! She managed to return at the last minute to cover for others!

Judging from this, I'm afraid she's already cheated on me with that handsome foxy young man!

"Alright, alright! Let's go back!" Thinking of this, Lady Li shook her head speechlessly, and then got into her own oxcart with Kang Ning and the old servant.

……

As night fell, candlelight flickered in the inn's rooms.

The Li family's daughters happily packed their things, as they would be leaving the inn early the next morning to move into the courtyard that their second sister, Fu Hui, had bought that afternoon.

This courtyard is right next to the Jining Marquis's residence, separated only by a wall!

This place is naturally extremely valuable, but fortunately the courtyard is not too large, so the 10,000 taels of silver given by the Marquis were just received!

Fortunately, the Li family consisted of only the mother and her five daughters, plus their adopted daughter Qiongnu and an old servant, so there were no other people in the family, and it did not feel crowded!

However, Li Niangzi stared at the flickering candlelight with a puzzled expression, saying nothing. Gradually, the voices of her daughters seemed to fade into the distance, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Then she slowly closed her eyes. After a day of exhaustion and subsequent mental stress, Li Niangzi finally succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to sleep.

……

"My wife has been calling me for a long time!" A young man's voice appeared in Li Niangzi's ears. She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in the old house where she used to live! At this moment, a tall and handsome man was standing in front of the window with his back to her!

"Who are you?" Lady Li was startled and sat up. Only then did she realize that she had just been lying on the bed!

The thought of this strange man waiting for her to wake up in her boudoir made Li Niangzi blush instantly.

She subconsciously tugged at her clothes and, finding them intact, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"How could my wife have forgotten me after only a few hours?" The man smiled faintly and spoke in a voice that seemed somewhat familiar yet magnetic, as he slowly turned around.

When she saw the other person's face, Li Niangzi was completely stunned! Because the other person was wearing a jade fox mask that she recognized very well!

Isn't this the same Jade-faced Fox Gentleman I saw during the day, the one who was having a secret rendezvous with his best friend Wang Yingxue in the bamboo forest behind the Buddhist temple?

"Why has my lord come to my boudoir?" Lady Li was taken aback for a moment, then asked directly. At the same time, she was also a little angry. Could it be that this handsome fox-like lord had seen her talking to Wang Yingxue from afar and had set his sights on her again?

What a philandering and greedy man! Does he want to take both her and his best friend into his arms? He's dreaming!

"I've come to collect my things!" The handsome, fox-like young man smiled slightly, and then he actually started walking towards his bed.

"I suppose my wife picked up that jade pendant!"

"Wait!" Lady Li was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and said, "The jade pendant is indeed with me! My lord, please stop here! I will find it and take it to you right away!"

However, although Li Niangzi said this, her expression suddenly changed when her hand touched her waist.

Because she suddenly realized that the clothes she was wearing had somehow changed into the red wedding dress she would wear on her wedding day... instead of the dress she was wearing before!

As for the jade pendant, he had searched his entire body but couldn't find it!

As the other person drew closer, Li Niangzi became so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

I did find the jade pendant, but now I've lost it. What should I do? How can I explain this to others?

Just as Li Niangzi was feeling flustered, the handsome fox-faced young man walked up to her and, without saying a word, bent down and hugged her soft body.

“Since you’ve lost the jade pendant, my lady, please compensate me in another way!” The Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman chuckled, then whispered into Lady Li’s ear.

"No! Young master, how much is that pendant worth? I'll give it to you!" Of course, Lady Li wasn't such a casual person. Although her heart was pounding at the moment, she still spoke up to stop him.

However, it was obvious that her words had no effect! Because the other party couldn't wait any longer and pounced on her!

"Ah?" Lady Li cried out in surprise, but her lips were roughly sealed by the other's big mouth!

Immediately afterward, her mind went blank, and she could no longer resist the other person's attack...

A full quarter of an hour later, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped inside the room!

"My lord is indeed very capable!" At this moment, Lady Li gently lay on the chest of the Jade-Faced Fox Lord, closing her eyes and whispering softly.

The ordeal had just taken her completely by heart, and now this woman truly only had eyes for the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman!

"I only beg you not to tell Yingxue about this!" Of course, as her rationality gradually returned, a sense of guilt for stealing her best friend's lover took over in Li Niangzi's heart!

However, she was reluctant to give up on this relationship and this handsome fox-like man right now!

Therefore, secretly dating and meeting with him behind Wang Yingxue's back is the best solution that Li Niangzi can think of right now! She can have this man without hurting her best friend's feelings!

"Why isn't my lord speaking?" However, the Jade-Faced Fox Lord did not respond to what Lady Li had just said. She looked up with some confusion and found that the other man had his arm around her fragrant shoulder, his eyes closed, and he had already fallen asleep.

What exactly does this handsome, foxy young man look like? At this moment, Lady Li couldn't help but feel curious. After all, she was already his woman; she couldn't possibly not even know what her husband truly looked like.

Thinking of this, Li Niangzi blinked and playfully reached out her jade-like hand to slowly remove the mask from the other person's face.

The next second, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning! Because beneath the jade-faced fox mask was Wei Tingyu's face, a face she could not possibly mistake!

The handsome, foxy young man was actually Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining? Lady Li was completely dumbfounded; she never dreamed that this would happen!

Logically speaking, Li Niangzi must acknowledge Wei Tingyu's immense charm! It doesn't seem impossible that Wang Yingxue couldn't resist such charm and eventually succumbed! But the problem is that the relationship between Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingyu is not so simple!

And she was so eager to marry Dou Ming into the Marquis's household... This...

boom!

However, just as Li Niangzi was completely bewildered and her mind was a mess, unable to figure out the current situation, her door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside!

"Ah!" Li Niangzi screamed in fright, then quickly wrapped herself in the bed sheet! Looking towards the door, she realized that Wang Yingxue was glaring at her angrily!

"You bastard, Li Niang!" After glaring at her for a few seconds, Wang Yingxue pounced on her with a fierce, jealous look on her face: "You've gone this far after being sisters for over ten years?"

"Yingxue, listen to me..." After all, Li Niangzi was in the wrong, so she dared not argue with Wang Yingxue. She could only try to explain and beg for forgiveness to the other party in a pitiful manner.

However, it was obvious that the other party didn't want to hear a single word from him, so before he could finish speaking, the two started fighting...

……

"Mother! Mother! Mother!" Suddenly, a hurried voice appeared in Li Niangzi's mind, pulling her from the scene of being caught in bed with another man by Wang Yingxue into a dark and chaotic world.

Then, as her eyelids slowly opened a crack, a ray of light activated her consciousness.

"Where am I?" Li Niangzi blinked, looking bewildered. Then she saw that her five daughters were standing around her, all looking at her with worried expressions.

But where was her original bedroom? It was still clearly the inn where she had stayed for two days!

“This is an inn…” Aunt Shouhua said, gently patting Li Niangzi’s chest. “Mother, you were tired and just fell asleep. Did you have a nightmare?”

"Nightmare?" Li Niangzi blinked, her previously tense expression immediately relaxing completely.

Oh right! It was a nightmare! That nightmare was absolutely terrifying!

She actually dreamt that she and Wang Yingxue were fighting over that handsome, foxy young man? Thinking about this, Li Niangzi couldn't help but mentally criticize herself a few times!

It seems she's been a widow for too long and really needs a man to comfort her!

The latter half of the dream was indeed quite terrifying, but the first half, especially the part with the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman in the boudoir, felt... just like the real thing!

So it's less of a nightmare and more like a pleasant dream!

Thinking about this, Li Niangzi couldn't help but laugh at herself, and at the same time, she felt a surge of envy for her best friend Wang Yingxue once again!

If a married woman like her dares to boldly pursue her love, what is there for a widow like me to be afraid of?

After all five daughters are married off, I can find a suitable husband to keep me company!

After all, she was so lonely back then, having lost all her daughters! This is a normal physiological and psychological need for a woman!

However, at this moment, Li Niangzi recalled the scene in her dream. Underneath the mask of that jade-faced fox-like young man was actually Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining.

Could it be that she herself harbors feelings for the Marquis?

Lady Li frowned, then a question arose in her mind...
