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

Even Dou Shishu, Dou Shiying, and Wang Yingxue, who were sitting awkwardly in place, looked at Dou Zhao with surprise.

"Today is my homecoming day, and also the Dou family banquet!" Dou Zhao frowned slightly, raised her cold and stern face, and spoke with an extremely noble expression: "But I never expected that a scoundrel would sneak in?!"

"A lecherous scoundrel?" The crowd was taken aback at first, then all turned to look at the young man in blue who had just uttered those arrogant words. Who else in the entire room, besides him, was worthy of that label?

"Madam!" The young man in blue was startled by Dou Zhao's words, and then, as he sobered up a bit, he quickly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "I was just joking, please don't take offense, Madam..."

"A joke?" Dou Zhao snorted coldly, then magnanimously waved his sleeve and said, "Are you acquainted with the Dou family? What kind of joke is this?"

At the same time, two female Silver Shadow Guards who received Dou Zhao's order immediately stepped out from the crowd and arrived in front of the young man in blue in a few nimble movements.

This display of skill left all the young masters and ladies present utterly astonished, their jaws nearly dropping to their sides!

I never imagined that the maids in the Marquis of Jining's residence possessed such extraordinary skills!

Everyone had noticed the five maids following Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao; their gait indicated they were all trained martial artists.

However, since the Marquis of Jining's family obtained his title through military merit, there must be a martial spirit in the family. It was common for even the maids to know a few moves, so no one took it too seriously.

Only now do they realize that the skills of these two maids alone would make them top-tier figures in the army!

Thinking about it this way, the Marquis of Jining's mansion is truly unfathomable!

"Slap him twenty times! Throw him out!" Just as everyone was still in surprise, Dou Zhao had already slightly parted her lips and calmly issued the order.

Upon hearing that the young man in blue was about to open his mouth, he was so frightened that he turned around and tried to leave. However, with his clumsy appearance, he was no match for the Silver Shadow Guards' attacks.

The two worked together seamlessly. One of them twisted the young man in blue's arm from behind and kicked him lightly behind the knee. The young man in blue fell to his knees with a thud, like a prisoner awaiting execution, and had no ability to struggle anymore.

The other person swung his hands, slapping the young man in blue across the face repeatedly.

Although she was a woman, a martial artist naturally possesses great strength! After the first ten slaps, the young man in blue was already bruised and swollen, looking like a pig's head!

After the twenty slaps were finished, even his own parents probably wouldn't recognize the young man in blue!

"This...this...this...what kind of behavior is this?!" Seeing a young master being beaten into a pulp in his own home, Dou Shishu, a power-hungry official, was extremely anxious.

Originally, he intended to step forward and reprimand both the young man in blue and Zhao Zhangru, thus ending the matter. However, he did not expect that Dou Zhao's wave of his hand would lead to a violent incident, especially since the young man's family would certainly not let the matter rest.

"What is Fifth Uncle worried about?" Wei Tingyu glanced at Dou Shishu and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"If word gets out about what happened tonight, won't the reputation of my Dou family be ruined..." Dou Shishu was sweating profusely at this moment, and he didn't care about Wei Tingyu's identity anymore, so he spoke anxiously.

"What does this have to do with your Dou family?" Wei Tingyu sneered, "Now that my wife has married into the Jining Marquis's mansion, what she does is what the Jining Marquis's mansion does. What does it have to do with her family?"

Dou Shishu was stunned after hearing Wei Tingyu's words.

Oh right! How could I not have thought of that? Dou Zhao is already married! In my haste, I completely forgot this crucial point!

A married daughter belongs to her husband's family; what relationship does she have with her own family?

The one who caused the violence right now is the Lady of Jining, not the eldest daughter of the Dou family!

Having figured this out, Dou Shishu finally felt relieved, but then he inadvertently glanced at Dou Zhaozheng's gaze, which was as cold as an ice cellar!

Because Dou Zhao was practically laughing with anger inside! His actions were not only to establish the authority of the Dou family, but also to save face for the Dou family that had been humiliated!

However, his fifth uncle was only thinking about whether this matter would offend a colleague in the officialdom!

Hearing his husband say that the responsibility for this matter would be borne entirely by the Marquis of Jining's mansion, he immediately felt relieved!

Such a man? Such an elder? I can't even look down on him!

"Then what should we do about the son-in-law?" Wang Yingxue pursed her lips and asked Wei Tingyu in a low voice.

"Just send him to his carriage outside the door and let him go home on his own!" Wei Tingyu sneered. "If his family feels wronged, they can go to the capital's government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice! If that's not enough, they can go and beat the Dengwen Drum, and we'll go to the Emperor's court together to clarify this matter! In short, I, the Marquis of Jining, will accompany you to the end!"

Wei Tingyu didn't whisper these words; everyone present heard them clearly!

Needless to say, from now on, news of how much the Marquis of Jining dotes on his wife, Dou Zhao, will quickly spread throughout the capital!

Chapter 23 Wang Yingxue, who both loves and hates her son-in-law!

The greatest fear of noble families is losing face, and they will definitely push all these things onto their newlywed wives!

However, Wei Tingyu was an exception! For Dou Zhao, a bride he had only married three days prior, he was actually unafraid to expose the matter to the Emperor!

As Wei Tingyu's resounding words fell to the ground, all the guests present looked at him with an indescribable expression.

Regardless of their social status, the women all looked on with admiration! After all, in their hearts, such a man was now incredibly tall and mighty!

Not to mention that the eyes of these unmarried daughters of officials were almost dripping with tears, even Wang Yingxue's expression as she stared at her future husband was one of love and hate.

At this moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Her hatred for Wei Tingyu naturally stemmed from jealousy!

After all, it was truly infuriating that such a fine young man had actually been given to that wild girl Dou Zhao instead of her own daughter Dou Ming. This made Wang Yingxue feel like she was being scratched by a cat, and she simply couldn't swallow this insult.

As for love... it's very simple!

Even if Wang Yingxue has high standards, she is still a woman.

Seeing that Dou Zhao's husband is willing to speak up for her in court and even before the emperor, isn't this the kind of love that this second wife and stepmother could not get from her own husband?

At this moment, Wang Yingxue glanced at Dou Shiying from time to time, and even felt a little disgusted with her always useless husband!

Looking at these so-called sons of officials in the arena, they aren't even worthy of carrying Wei Tingyu's shoes! Even if his daughter Dou Ming chooses the most outstanding Wu Shan, the final result will probably not be better than the life he is living now.

No! I absolutely cannot let my daughter follow in my footsteps!

This was Wang Yingxue's only thought at that moment, as a mother!

It's quite clear now that Wei Tingyu's affection for Dou Zhao is not just empty talk. How easy would it be to destroy their marital relationship?!

Especially since her daughter, Dou Ming, is such a cautious and obedient girl, with a completely unassuming and unassuming nature. How can she possibly get Dou Zhao away from Wei Tingyu if things continue like this?

Wang Yingxue frowned and fell silent, her mind completely focused on planning how to get her daughter, Dou Ming, into the position...

"Lord Marquis, you truly have spirit! I doubt the Pang family would dare to take this matter to the Emperor or the court!" Wu Shan smiled and bowed slightly to Wei Tingyu as he spoke.

He wasn't intentionally trying to flatter Wei Tingyu; he was just reasoning that, logically speaking, anyone with a brain would not want to make a big deal out of this, especially if the young master who had been beaten to a pulp had any sense of right and wrong.

After all, the details of the matter are quite clear: it was his son who first made outrageous remarks at someone else's family banquet, spouting those obscene and vulgar phrases.

Lady Hou, who was also the eldest daughter of the Hou family, slapped him in anger. Although it was somewhat arbitrary and domineering, this action would certainly be approved by the old scholars in the court.

Putting everything else aside, Wu Shan knew that if his grandfather knew about this, he would definitely praise Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao's actions and speak well of them in front of the emperor.

So this green-clothed pig-headed man's surname is Pang?! After hearing Wu Shan's words, Wei Tingyu recalled the plot he had watched, and it seemed that he was indeed called Young Master Pang before.

It doesn't matter what his surname is anymore. Anyway, after tonight, this guy will probably become the laughing stock of the entire capital, and he'll have a hard time getting into other people's family banquets in the future.

“This young master Wu speaks quite properly, unlike the others!” Dou Shiying nodded slightly, then said to his fifth brother, Dou Shishu, “If we can get together with him tomorrow, it would be a wonderful match!”

"Yes, yes!" Dou Shishu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He stroked his short beard and nodded in a pretentious manner.

No way! This is the only grandson of Elder Wu. If we could really arrange a marriage, I'd be laughing in my sleep!

However, when Dou Zhao and Wang Yingxue overheard their conversation, they both frowned.

In Dou Zhao's opinion, his younger sister Dou Ming is a very good girl! In order to prevent her from going astray in the future, it would be best to keep her by his side and teach her personally!

Moreover, if Dou Ming were to marry into her husband's family with a personality like that, she might be bullied by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law! Especially if she were to marry into a family as prestigious as the Wu family, she would be looked down upon, and Wu Shan doesn't seem like someone who could stand up for her at home!

At this moment, she was extremely dissatisfied with her father and fifth uncle's desire to arrange Dou Ming's life according to their own wishes!

Wang Yingxue naturally felt the same way. At this moment, she looked down on Wu Shan and only thought that Wei Tingyu was a better son-in-law!

"The Marquis of Jining and his wife are a perfect match, and they will surely grow old together!"

"Yes, yes! Just look at the affection between the Marquis and his wife; it's truly enviable!"

"It seems that from today onwards, the capital will be abuzz with the news that men should marry ladies of noble birth like the Lady of Jining and women should marry upright gentlemen like the Marquis of Jining!"

"Brother, you are right! That must be it! We must take the Marquis as our role model!"

...Among the young men present, it was unclear who was the first to react, but they immediately began to flatter Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao...and then one after another, the flattery and praise from the crowd continued incessantly.

After all, the fate of the young man in blue surnamed Pang was right before their eyes. Even if these people were stupid, they wouldn't be that forgetful!

"Heh heh!" Faced with these flattering remarks, Dou Zhao laughed disdainfully. But those two contemptuous laughs were like thunderclaps, silencing the entire lively hall once again.

Everyone looked at Dou Zhao with bewildered expressions, because they really didn't understand what those two cold laughs meant!

However, Dou Zhao ignored the bewildered and questioning expressions of everyone present. She silently refilled Wei Tingyu's cup of wine, who was sitting in the main seat, and then asked him with a smile, "My lord! I have something to say to all the gentlemen present. Is that alright?"

She had to obtain her husband's permission before speaking to any other men! At this moment, Dou Zhao displayed the virtues and submissiveness of a wealthy lady in front of these outsiders!

Chapter 24 Dou Zhao is arrogant because he has the confidence!

Wei Tingyu naturally wouldn't stop Dou Zhao and simply nodded.

After receiving her husband's permission, Dou Zhao slowly stood up, looking down at all the young men present with an air of superiority. Then, she parted her lips slightly and said, "What you gentlemen just said was quite pleasing to the ear, but how much of it was truly sincere?"

"What does Madam mean by this? How are we not sincere?" These young men felt a little guilty after being asked by Dou Zhao, but some of them were still stubborn enough to ask a question back.

After all, it's not uncommon for flattery to backfire, but usually people won't just kick you in the face.

Dou Zhao is now showing absolutely no respect to these young masters!

"Young Master Liu Xuezhen! I heard you've failed the imperial examinations six times in six attempts?!" Dou Zhao glanced at the man who had stood up and sneered, then continued, "Instead of studying diligently at home, you're attending banquets everywhere. Do you really think you're so talented that you're sure to have a successful career in the capital?"
