As Wei Tingyu thought about this, his eyes gradually turned cold. Then he saw that the carriage had already driven towards the main gate of the Marquis's mansion.

At the same time, the two male Silver Shadow Guards responsible for guarding the main gate saw the carriage from afar and took the initiative to go to meet it, which finally put his mind at ease.

Once the three women enter the Marquis's residence, they will be protected by eighteen Silver Shadow Guards, both inside and out. There is no one in the world who can break in and harm them.

Then I can finally do what I should do with peace of mind!

Wei Tingyu turned back to the bustling street and saw the mask stall still there. Suddenly, he remembered the original plot. Wasn't it here that Dou Zhao bought the mask and ran around wearing it, which led to her encounter with Song Mo, who was also wearing a mask, and thus began a tragic love affair?

However, now that he has snatched the beautiful Dou Zhao away, this "ill-fated relationship" will belong to him alone from now on!

With that thought in mind, Wei Tingyu took out his money and bought a jade fox mask, put it on his face, and then turned and headed straight for the Dou residence.

According to what he knew of the original plot, Wang Yingxue was unwilling to accept defeat like this!

Previously in the story, this woman arranged for her own nephew, the young master Pang in blue at the banquet, to defile Dou Zhao's chastity, hoping to bring Dou Zhao into her family.

Although Dou Zhao is now a Marquis's wife, Wei Tingyu is worried that this vicious woman will not give up so easily and may even plot against Dou Zhao. This is the problem he must solve!

Wei Tingyu channeled his inner strength and, under the cover of night, leaped rapidly across the roof beams of the capital city, returning to the back gate of the Dou residence in just a few breaths.

As for the so-called high wall, in Wei Tingyu's eyes at this moment it was no different from an ordinary wooden fence! With a light leap, he easily jumped over into the backyard and arrived outside Wang Yingxue's boudoir.

Through the half-open window, Wei Tingyu could clearly hear Wang Yingxue inside talking to a man who was speaking incoherently.

He peeked through the crack in the window out of curiosity, and almost burst out laughing.

Because the stammering, lisping man was none other than the young master in green robes, Pang, who had been beaten to a pulp at the family banquet.

No wonder! No wonder he speaks with a lisp!

My cheeks are swollen right now, so I can't speak clearly.

"Aunt! This is absolutely unacceptable!" The pig-headed young master Pang had half his face covered with thick gauze, with only his eyes showing, but you could tell the fear in his eyes just by looking at them.

It was obvious that he was rejecting one of Wang Yingxue's suggestions.

"You coward, how can you be so timid?" Upon hearing this idiot's words, Wang Yingxue couldn't help but call out his full name, then glared at him with a look of utter disappointment.

"I'm not usually a coward! It's just that my aunt's suggestion really terrifies me!" After being scolded by Wang Yingxue, Wang Kunbai subconsciously trembled, showing that he was indeed very afraid of his aunt Wang Yingxue!

Even so, he still didn't agree!

What exactly does Wang Yingxue want him to do? It certainly can't be anything good!

As Wei Tingyu thought about this, his gaze gradually sharpened! After all, Zhao Kunbai had just been beaten into this pig-headed state by two female Silver Shadow Guards on Dou Zhao's orders at the banquet.

Wang Yingxue is probably trying to get revenge on Dou Zhao and herself by talking to him now!

"You've been beaten up like this, aren't you angry? Don't you want to get revenge on that guy Wei Tingyu?" Wang Yingxue asked Pang Kunbai with a speechless expression.

"I want revenge! But... I'm really scared! Aunt, if we get caught, I'll lose my life!" Pang Kunbai nervously swallowed and then spoke.

"What's there to be afraid of?!" Wang Yingxue rolled her eyes in exasperation, then continued, "Although the Jining Marquis's residence is heavily guarded, Dou Zhao can't stay inside forever, can he?!"

"You just need to wait for her to be alone and have a chance! You don't need to do anything reckless!"

"Then you arrange for a few people to intercept her in a secluded place, and then..."

"After that, tear off her undergarment as evidence! From then on, whatever you want her to do, she'll have to do!"

"A Lady Hou who has lost her chastity will inevitably be despised by the Marquis of Jining!"

"Then I can rightfully take over tomorrow! And I'll certainly give you plenty of benefits!"

Wang Yingxue repeated her plan again and again, and this time Wei Tingyu, who was outside the window, heard it clearly.

Good heavens! This woman is plotting to cheat on me?! What a shameless woman who's always up to no good!

“But if this matter escalates… then I’m finished!” Pang Kunbai wasn’t stupid; he shook his head repeatedly and said, “To humiliate a noblewoman is a death sentence!”

"Don't worry!" Wang Yingxue sneered and continued to reassure him, "After this incident, Dou Zhao definitely won't dare to make a big deal out of it! Even if Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining finds out, he won't openly reveal it for the sake of the Marquis's mansion and his own reputation! At most, he'll just find another excuse to divorce Dou Zhao!"

"No! No! I won't do it! I dare not do this!" Pang Kunbai thought for a moment, then quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum: "Even if the Marquis of Jining doesn't want to make a big fuss, he will definitely cause me trouble! What kind of family is our Pang family? How dare we offend the Marquis? Who knows, the Marquis might hire assassins to wipe out our entire family!"

After saying this, Pang Kunbai ignored Wang Yingxue's reaction and rushed out of the room! Judging from his back, he probably only wanted to go home to his parents!

"Pang Kunbai! Stop right there!" Wang Yingxue was stunned, not expecting her nephew to think of this.

By the time she realized what was happening, Yao Kunbai had already disappeared without a trace, and no matter how many times she called after him, he couldn't be brought back.

"Useless! No guts whatsoever! You'll never amount to anything!" Wang Yingxue angrily slammed her fan onto the table. Then, sulking, she sat down in her chair and began pondering what to do next…

Chapter 31 Wang Yingxue, whose charm remains undiminished!

Wei Tingyu, who saw this scene from outside the window, laughed speechlessly.

To be fair, Pang Kunbai wasn't entirely brainless! In the original story, he actually kidnapped Dou Zhao just as Wang Yingxue had planned, although at that time Dou Zhao was just an unloved second young lady of the Dou family.

Now that Dou Zhao is the noble lady of a marquis's mansion, even if Pang Kunbai had the guts, he wouldn't dare to have any more ideas about that kind of thing!

On the contrary, Wang Yingxue, even though Dou Zhao's identity is completely different from that of her previous life, still hasn't given up on framing him!

Sure enough! If I can't get rid of Wang Yingxue, I won't have a peaceful day!

Although Dou Zhao was safe under his and the Silver Shadow Guards' protection, as the saying goes, "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days!"

With a stepmother who's always eyeing his wife around, he can't even sleep peacefully!

"No! This is the only way to help Ming'er take the position!" At this moment, Wang Yingxue in the room rolled her eyes twice but couldn't think of any other good way to help her daughter Dou Ming take the position of the Marquis of Jining.

She stood up, picked up a round fan, and paced back and forth in the room, gently fanning herself as she muttered to herself, "If this Tuo Kunbai doesn't work, I'll find someone else! A generous reward will surely attract brave men! I don't believe that as long as you have the money, no one will dare to do this deal!"

Goodness! This woman is really stubborn!

Wei Tingyu, watching from outside the window, narrowed his eyes at the sight. However, Wang Yingxue, who was walking around the table inside the room, was quite graceful.

Especially when she walked while waving a round fan, her waist swayed gently from side to side like a willow, making Wei Tingyu's heart flutter!

It seems that her graceful appearance at the banquet wasn't just an act; it was simply her natural charm.

It's such a pity! Such a beautiful figure, yet she has a heart as venomous as a snake!

In the world he will eventually control, such a venomous woman will naturally not have a good ending!

Should I pull her back before she completely goes astray and falls off a cliff?

Wei Tingyu chuckled at his own thoughts! But as any man would understand, he gently pried open the window just wide enough for a person to squeeze through sideways, and then lightly leaped into the room.

Just as Wang Yingxue closed the door, she heard a loud thud behind her. When she turned around, she saw a man wearing a jade fox mask leap in through the window.

"Ah..." Wang Yingxue was startled and instinctively wanted to scream. At the same time, she turned around, opened the door, and ran away.

Before her scream could even escape her throat, the man flung a pair of chopsticks from the table toward him, and with two clanging sounds, he firmly nailed the door bolt to its original spot!

With that skill level! I definitely can't escape!

Wang Yingxue was a very smart woman with an extremely quick mind! In an instant, she understood her current situation, so without the other party scolding her, she directly reached out and covered her mouth.

After all, even if he screamed loudly and summoned the maids and servants in the courtyard, it would be of no use at all!

Moreover, his daughter Dou Ming is in the next room. If he calls her over, he might end up harming her as well!

"Madam is truly a sensible person!" Wei Tingyu couldn't help but lower his voice and tease Wang Yingxue when he saw her eyes showing fear but still desperately covering her mouth with her hands to suppress her scream.

To be honest, this woman is not to be underestimated! Although she is ruthless, she is indeed a good mother!

In order not to implicate her daughter Dou Ming in the next room, she even had the courage to face this unknown fear!

"Young master, what brings you to my room in the middle of the night?" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu speak, Wang Yingxue's initial tension subsided slightly. She lowered her hands from her mouth, took two deep breaths, and forced a smile before speaking.

From Wang Yingxue's perspective, she didn't know what the man wearing the jade fox mask was up to, but at least he shouldn't be here to take her life.

Otherwise, given his skills, those two chopsticks nailed to the door bolt could have easily pierced his heart or neck! Why would he need to waste so much breath on me?!

If it's not a matter of life and death, what else could it be? Is it for money? Or for sex?

Wang Yingxue's eyes darted around as she tried to guess the purpose of the visitor.

However, she also had some doubts in her heart, because the other party was well-dressed and had a tall and upright figure. He did not look like a lewd thief at all. On the contrary, he looked somewhat similar to her son-in-law, Wei Tingyu.

But how could it be Tangtang, the Marquis of Jining, sneaking into the deep courtyard of the Dou family in the dead of night and even breaking into her boudoir? Wang Yingxue immediately ruled out this possibility!

After all, how many people in the world look alike?

"When I travel through Chang'an, I love to find out the secrets hidden in these deep mansions!" Of course, Wei Tingyu couldn't reveal his identity at this moment. He simply opened his folding fan with a nonchalant air and walked towards Wang Yingxue like a carefree young master, saying, "So I just happened to be passing by and came in to take a look!"

Wow! There are people with such unusual hobbies?

Upon hearing this, Wang Yingxue immediately disbelieved it!

With such amazing skills, why not do something extraordinary instead of spending his days eavesdropping on the private affairs of wealthy and powerful families? Is there really such a bored guy?

"So, young master... you also heard my conversation with my nephew?" But right now, Wang Yingxue was more concerned about whether her ruthless plan had been leaked.

"Of course!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, "The fangs of a green snake and the stinger of a wasp are not poisonous; the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart! Only now do I realize that the ancients were right!"

"..." Wang Yingxue's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but she didn't care much about the other person's mockery. Because she knew in her heart that she was, after all, a vicious woman!

Wang Yingxue would never shy away from this point!

"So, young master, are you going to... report me?" What she was more worried about right now was that her plan would be leaked. If that happened, not only would her daughter Dou Ming have no hope of rising to power, but she would also be ridiculed by everyone for having such a vicious mother! It would probably be difficult for her to find an ordinary marriage in the future.

"That's unnecessary!" Wei Tingyu sneered. "Besides, what good would it do me to report Madam's plan in court?"
