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

Putting everything else aside, becoming a concubine in the Marquis's mansion would definitely be no problem!

But we definitely can't say that directly, otherwise the Marquis will look down on the sisters!

However, before she could finish speaking, Wei Tingyu suddenly said, "Auntie, there's no need to stop her. Li Niangzi is right!"

"I have indeed taken a liking to one of your sisters!"

As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, the entire room fell silent again! Even Shouhua was stunned, staring at Wei Tingyu with a bewildered expression. She never expected that this Marquis could say such things!

From this perspective, his personality is quite compatible with that of his mother, Li Niangzi!

"See?" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Li Niangzi's eyes lit up. She looked at her dumbfounded daughters with a hint of pride and said, "Mother is planning for your future! Don't interrupt anymore!"

Since things have come to this point, let's leave it to fate! It all depends on who the Marquis chooses!

Upon hearing this, all five daughters of the Li family fell silent.

Only Third Sister Kang Ning frowned slightly, feigning indignation as she glanced at Wei Tingyu, signaling with her eyes that he shouldn't choose her! She didn't want to be a concubine!

“However, Lady Li’s words are only half right!” Wei Tingyu pretended not to see Kang Ning’s look and smiled as he spoke.

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Li Niangzi immediately became nervous again!

What do you mean by saying it's only half right? Is there some other variable involved?

It seems that my position as the son-in-law of the Marquis is not very secure right now.

"I've set my sights on the Li family's daughters!" Wei Tingyu said with a faint smile after seeing the expressions on the faces of the six Li family members present. "But not just one of them..."

Everyone was taken aback, and then they all started to wonder in their hearts, "Could it be that you've got your eye on two? Or three?"

Only Lady Li immediately changed to an expression that said, "I knew it all along," and breathed a sigh of relief, because she had already guessed it and had mentally prepared herself to marry her two daughters into the Marquis's mansion!

Fu Hui was not surprised at all! She had already mentally prepared herself to share a husband with one of her sisters!

Kang Ning was the most conflicted at this moment! Because she knew about the relationship between the Marquis and her second sister, Fu Hui, and she also knew that the Marquis wanted to marry more than one daughter of the Li family!

She naturally didn't want to be a concubine, but she couldn't help but fall for the Marquis!

After weighing the options, Kang Ning decided that if Wei Tingyu really chose him, then he would reluctantly agree!

Even if it's a sacrifice I made so that my mother and sisters could settle down in the capital!

“It’s all of you!” Wei Tingyu said directly, looking at the Li family sisters who were all different in appearance.

There's no way around it! The Li sisters are both so wonderful, it's hard to give up either of them!

Besides, bringing these five tigers into the household will surely bring new achievements! At that time, my own power will be even greater!

Let's consider it a sacrifice we have to make to create a peaceful and prosperous world sooner!

He reluctantly accepted these beauties for the sake of all living beings! How truly noble!

……

At dusk, in the backyard of Sifu Tea House, the front shops had already closed.

The Li family's daughters sat around the table in the main room, while Li Niangzi circled the table, fanning herself with a round fan, her expression showing impatience and distress.

"Loose tea, 15 coins!"

"Medium size, twenty and three cents!"

"Forty-three and four-cent coins!"

"A single tea leaf is priced at sixty-five coins and four cents!"

Aunt Shouhua tapped away on her abacus, quietly calculating the day's income and expenses.

"Alright, alright, alright! Stop calculating! Stop calculating!" Lady Li quickly waved her hand to stop Shouhua's actions and said, "This calculation is giving me a headache!"

Shouhua was taken aback, then stopped what she was doing and silently lowered her head without saying another word.

The other sisters around them followed suit, knowing that their mother was in a very irritable mood.

No wonder, after Wei Tingyu said that he wanted all of the Li family's daughters this morning, their brains have been shut down ever since!

Right now, they've even stopped doing business altogether. After all, with such an important matter on their minds, who has the time or energy to worry about business?

"Where are Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister?" Lady Li frowned as she looked at her daughters at the table, only to suddenly realize that two of them seemed to be missing!

"She went out! She said she was going to check out other teahouses!" Among the women in the room, Third Sister Kang Ning was the most composed. She raised her head and answered slowly, while gently breaking open a sugar packet in her hand.

"Oh dear! What time is it? Why are you still eating here?" Li Niangzi blinked and looked at San Niang Kang Ning, saying directly, "You're usually the most clever among the sisters, so why don't you come up with an idea?"

"An idea?" Kang Ning looked up at her mother and then asked, "What do you need your daughter to suggest?"

"Huh?" As soon as Kang Ning said this, not only Li Niangzi, but everyone else also raised their heads and looked at Kang Ning with an incredulous expression!

"That's naturally about the Marquis wanting to marry our five daughters!" Lady Li exclaimed anxiously, slamming her fan on the table and looking at Kang Ning, "What are we going to do about this? You have to give your mother some advice!"

“Sigh…” Kang Ning shook her head helplessly, then said, “Mother, do you mean you don’t want to form a marriage alliance with the Marquis’s family?”

"I didn't say that!" Lady Li frowned and waved her hands repeatedly: "Of course the marriage must take place! After all, a son-in-law as good as the Marquis of Jining is hard to find even with a lantern. If I miss this opportunity, wouldn't I be a fool?"

"But he wants to take all five of my daughters away at once, that's a bit too much..."

"If word gets out about this, won't people laugh at us?!"

"Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister! At this crucial moment, why are you still running out to look at other teahouses? Don't you think this important matter of getting married is important?"

As she spoke, Lady Li frowned and began pacing around the main room again!

She was in a real dilemma. She couldn't refuse Wei Tingyu, but she certainly couldn't agree to it outright either!

Fortunately, Wei Tingyu wasn't the aggressive type! So after giving this answer that shocked all the women in the Li family, he saw the bewildered women and left with a graceful bow.

Finally, he simply told Lady Li and the other ladies to consider it carefully, and that he would give the Marquis's mansion an answer later.

His departure was easy, but Li Niangzi was completely confused and didn't know what to do!

Even now, Lady Li still harbors some resentment towards Wei Tingyu! Why can't this Marquis take advantage of his power and bully her? If he forced her to marry off her five daughters, she might have no choice but to reluctantly agree!

That way, at least we won't be in such a difficult situation right now, right?!

"Oh dear... that Marquis!" Thinking of this, Lady Li put on a mournful face and said, "He really is a menace!"

"Now that things have come to this, I don't see any other way!" Aunt Shouhua took a deep breath and said, "Either we completely break ties with the Marquis and become enemies from now on, or I have no choice but to agree to his request!"

"No, no, no!" Lady Li panicked immediately upon hearing this and quickly said, "We absolutely cannot become enemies with the Marquis! How will we maintain our standing in the capital then?"

Li Niangzi still vividly remembers the cold reception she received at the Fan family's door on her first day in Beijing, and she would never want to experience that feeling again!

"Then we have no choice but to agree!" Third Sister Kang Ning said, pursing her lips. It wasn't that she was unwilling to think of a solution, but rather that there was simply no solution available in the current situation!

It's either yes or no, those are the only two options! There's no room for negotiation!

"Wouldn't it be too unfair for all five of you to marry into the Marquis's family?" Upon hearing this, Lady Li sat back down helplessly and looked at Shouhua, Fuhui, and Kangning in front of her.

"I don't care!" At this moment, Fu Hui's heart had already drifted to Wei Tingyu's side, and she couldn't wait to enter the mansion.

Of course, she was somewhat surprised when she heard Wei Tingyu say he wanted to take all five of her sisters as concubines today! But she quickly came to terms with it!

Didn't my mother's best friend, Aunt Wang Yingxue, still send both of her daughters to the Marquis's mansion? If she had five daughters, she probably would have stuffed them all into the Marquis's lap too!

Besides, in Fu Hui's view, she had been separated from her mother and sisters for two years! Of course, she didn't want to be separated again now!

Anyway, there are plenty of women in the Marquis's mansion. Even if I go there, there will be others who will take away the Marquis's favor!

If Fu Hui can't even accept this, then she shouldn't have even dreamed of entering the Marquis's mansion!

Since the fact that there are other women cannot be changed, it is better to accept that her own sisters are more acceptable to Fu Hui!

"Oh dear! You're still a married woman! What are you saying?" Li Niangzi was taken aback when she heard her daughter Fu Hui's words, and then widened her eyes helplessly as she spoke.

"The Marquis didn't even look down on me..." Fu Hui pouted immediately upon hearing this. In any case, she and Fan Lianghan were only husband and wife in name, and she was still a virgin.

Serving the Marquis, she didn't feel that she was inferior to the other unmarried sisters; it was just a matter of worldly perception!

“You can get a divorce even if you’re married! It’s not a big deal for the Marquis!” Shouhua blinked and looked at Li Niangzi, saying, “The Marquis still wants a widow like me, doesn’t he? It’s clear that he meant it when he said he wanted to take in the five daughters of our Li family! He wasn’t joking!”

"Mother!" Although Third Sister Kang Ning was the most determined among the five sisters to refuse to be a concubine, she was also the most clever and honest one!

Having a good mindset is one thing, but how reality unfolds is another!

Since there's no way to escape the current predicament, we might as well just accept it calmly!

Of course, for Kang Ning, she is definitely not the type to passively give up!

So she blinked and looked at her mother and the other sisters, saying, "Since the Marquis has proposed to take our five daughters as his concubines, and Mother is unwilling to lose this good marriage opportunity, and at the same time does not want to offend the Marquis, then we can only agree!"

"However, we must agree to some conditions. There are some things that we need your guarantee first, Lord Marquis!"

"Yes, yes, Kang Ning is right!" Li Niangzi nodded quickly upon hearing this and said, "Tell me, what conditions do we want the Marquis to agree to?"

"First of all, our five daughters must be honored concubines when they enter the manor; they cannot be beaten, scolded, or sold at will!"

Kang Ning thought for a moment and then spoke.

Li Niangzi, Shouhua, and Fuhui all nodded in agreement!

That's right, this clause must be clearly written in the concubine registration document! The daughters of the Li family are not cattle or horses. Being a concubine is one thing, but being sold off at will is another!

"Secondly, although our five daughters have entered the manor as concubines, they cannot be confined to the manor and forbidden to leave!"

"Your Excellency must grant us permission to continue operating our teahouse business!"

Kang Ning thought for a moment and then spoke again.
