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

Dou Zhao turned his head and found that Zhao Zhangru had actually picked up a shrimp from another dish and was already chewing it.

"Cousin! How could you..." Dou Zhao was speechless. However, it was no use trying to grab the shrimp now, because Zhao Zhangru had already bitten off more than half of it in one bite.

Even cats can't shake their habit of stealing fish! Even if they pretend to give up, they'll still bite you when you're not looking!

Fortunately, there were more than a dozen shrimp in this dish, and Zhao Zhangru ate one. If the dish is rearranged, it shouldn't be noticeable.

"Susu! What have you been doing all this time?" Zhao Zhangru smiled awkwardly when he realized he had been caught sneaking a bite, and then quickly changed the subject by looking at Miao Ansu next to him.

"I made a dessert for good luck!" Miao Ansu smiled and put down her chopsticks when she heard Zhao Zhangru ask her a question. Then, she proudly picked up a plate of desserts that she had been working on for a long time and walked over.

"A treasure hidden in gold and jade!" Then, as if presenting a precious gem, he placed a plate of dessert that looked very appealing on the table, next to the two famous dishes that Dou Zhao had just prepared.

"Hehe!" Seeing that the two women were staring at her dessert without blinking, Miao Ansu shook her head with a bit of pride.

Early this morning, Dou Zhao got up and busied himself preparing breakfast for the Marquis who hadn't returned last night. Miao Ansu was thinking that she must take this opportunity to show off her skills!

Unlike Zhao Zhangru, who was always causing trouble and stealing food, Miao Ansu was taught by her family from a young age to be well-mannered, presentable in public, and capable in the kitchen.

So she took out her best dishes and prepared them to present to the Marquis later!

"Looks good!" Zhao Zhangru looked at the pot of golden jade treasures, then quickly swallowed twice.

This dish is different! Just one bite and it'll be ruined; no amount of plating can salvage it. Zhao Zhangru wasn't unaware of his own limitations, so he had no choice but to abandon his plan to steal a bite.

"I don't know what this Marquis is thinking!" Of course, in order to resist the temptation of the food, Zhao Zhangru used the distraction technique again and said directly, "He has three beautiful women in the manor but insists on spending the night outside! I don't know what important matter he has that makes him stay out all night!"

These words were a direct dig at Wei Tingyu.

When Dou Zhao heard Zhao Zhangru ask this question, she immediately laughed. She hadn't even entered the house yet, and she was already planning to control her husband.

Looking at it this way, it was definitely the right decision to bring Zhao Zhangru into the Marquis's mansion as an accomplice! Now there will be someone to help him keep Wei Tingyu in check and prevent him from acting too recklessly.

"Let's not talk about this! Sister Zhao, tell me how you two met?" However, Miao Ansu had been instilled with the idea of ​​putting her husband first since childhood. Although she hadn't entered the house yet, when she heard Zhao Zhangru directly complaining about Wei Tingyu, she quickly asked Dou Zhao a question, trying to change the subject.

After all, in her view, it was very impolite for wives and concubines to gossip about their husbands behind their backs.

"Know each other?" Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, they should have known each other in their previous life!

However, she couldn't say this to the two sisters in front of her, so she simply shook her head: "I had never met the Marquis before I married into the Marquis's mansion!"

"Never seen the Marquis before? Didn't you two already pledge your lives to each other?" Even Zhao Zhangru was stunned. She looked at Dou Zhao with disbelief. (New book release! Please give flowers!

Chapter 38 The Marquis's Great Treasure? Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru didn't understand!

"What are you talking about, pledging your life to each other? Aren't you ashamed?" Dou Zhao was speechless.

“But the rumors outside say that you two have known each other for a long time and have already pledged your lives to each other in private!” Miao Ansu blinked and said, “Otherwise, why would the Marquis act like he would marry no one but you, and even go to his sister and brother-in-law, the Duke of Jing, to beg them to act as matchmakers?”

“Yes! If you hadn’t already made up your mind, how could the Marquis have made such a resolute decision for a woman you’ve never even met?” Zhao Zhangru pouted and said, “At the time, I thought you were being particularly unfair, keeping such a good man like the Marquis a secret from us…”

"Really not! We've never met before!" Dou Zhao was speechless. In this life, the first time he saw Wei Tingyu again was indeed in the bridal chamber on their wedding night!

Of course, the reason she repeatedly explained was not because she cared about what was said outside, but because her two best friends had asked her, and she really didn't want to lie to them.

"Then how come you two have such a good relationship?" Miao Ansu's eyes darted around twice, then she leaned over to Dou Zhao and gently nudged her waist with her elbow, laughing as she said, "You've only been married for three days... Could it be that the Marquis has some treasure that you can't put down?"

"What did you say... what treasure!" Dou Zhao was stunned for a moment, then her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Because what Miao Ansu said was indeed a very important reason why she fell in love with Wei Tingyu in just three days in this life, that is, as a man, he has the strong assets that make women unable to resist!

"There really is a treasure?" Miao Ansu was stunned when she saw Dou Zhao's flushed face.

"What treasure? Show it to us!" Zhao Zhangru was also shocked by Dou Zhao's reaction! At this moment, she and Miao Ansu had the same thought, that is, there really was a great treasure in this Marquis's mansion that could make Dou Zhao's heart flutter!

"How am I supposed to show this to you?" Dou Zhao almost rolled her eyes to the sky when she heard this, but then she realized what was going on.

It seems that the treasures Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru mentioned are real treasures, and not the same as the treasures I understand!

So the three of them were talking at cross purposes, each chatting about their own thing, but they ended up talking about the same thing and making a big misunderstanding!

"What? You're keeping this a secret?" Zhao Zhangru pouted when she saw that Dou Zhao was unwilling to show her the treasure. "We'll soon be members of the Marquis's household too, can't we even see it?"

"You'll see when you come in!" Dou Zhao's lips twitched, and after stammering for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.

"How stingy..." Zhao Zhangru and Miao Ansu could only exchange a helpless glance when they heard that Dou Zhao really didn't want to take out that big treasure for them to see first.

Fortunately, this secret won't bother me for too long! Once I'm truly inside the household and become the Marquis's person, I'll naturally be able to see this great treasure that guards the Marquis's mansion!

……

At this moment, Wei Tingyu was standing stiffly at the kitchen door. He had just returned and heard from the servants that the three women had taken over the kitchen early in the morning and had come looking for him. Just as he was about to push open the door, he overheard the three women's last conversation about their precious baby.

He was caught in a dilemma! He knew that Dou Zhao must be blushing with embarrassment, since he had just misunderstood Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru's intentions.

The two young girls, who were inexperienced in such matters, truly did not understand what Dou Zhao meant by "the great treasure"!

If he went in, wouldn't that make the situation even more awkward? So for a moment, he could only stand there, stunned.

However, as the conversation between the three women became increasingly strange, Wei Tingyu finally couldn't hold back any longer.

If we let them keep chattering like this, who knows what outrageous things they might say!

No, my two pre-arranged concubines are still innocent little rabbits; I can't let them be corrupted before they even consummate their marriage...

Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu could only silently push open the kitchen door!

Sure enough, the three women, startled by Wei Tingyu's entrance, turned around in unison, and their expressions immediately changed after they saw who it was.

Dou Zhao was initially happy to see Wei Tingyu return, but the thought that he might have overheard what she had just said immediately made her feel embarrassed.

Miao Ansu took two steps forward with a hint of smugness, then realized that rushing directly into Wei Tingyu's arms seemed a bit improper!

Besides, she wasn't his concubine yet, so she forced herself to stop herself from rushing towards him!

Zhao Zhangru looked surprised and nervous until she saw that the person who came in was Wei Tingyu, at which point the wariness in her eyes instantly turned into relaxation.

I have to say, this girl is really good at martial arts!

Always maintaining a state of alertness to the surrounding situation, this martial arts mindset is actually the most precious!

"The Marquis is back?!" Dou Zhao was the first to react, silently bowing to Wei Tingyu, and then he and Zhao Zhangru quickly followed suit.

"You're back!" Wei Tingyu nodded with a smile and said, "I heard from the servants that the three of you took over the kitchen early this morning, leaving the cook with nothing to do."

"Pfft..." As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, Dou Zhao and the other two women burst out laughing at the same time.

"The three of us personally prepared breakfast for the Marquis!" Dou Zhao silently stepped forward, gently brushing dust off Wei Tingyu's clothes. Then, she wrinkled her nose and furrowed her brows, saying, "Why does the Marquis... smell like... a woman?"

It wasn't that Dou Zhao deliberately leaned in to smell it; rather, the scent was so distinct that it was easily recognizable without needing to get close.

Moreover, women are always very sensitive to this kind of fragrance.

"Really?" Zhao Zhangru was taken aback at first, then came closer.

However, she pressed herself almost against Wei Tingyu, sniffing him as she said, "Let me smell you! Is the Marquis keeping a mistress outside?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Miao Ansu glanced at Wei Tingyu nervously, as if afraid he would be angry.

In her view, even if Wei Tingyu really had another woman outside, she, as the concubine who was about to enter the mansion, absolutely could not be jealous.

Even if she wanted to be capricious and act spoiled, it should only be when she was alone with the Marquis, when no one else was around and she needed him to coax her. To disrespect her master in front of so many people was absolutely not something a clever concubine should do!

Chapter 39 One wife and two concubines! The evil feudal society!

"It seems a little... but it doesn't seem like it..." However, Zhao Zhangru sniffed Wei Tingyu a few times with a serious expression, then revealed a confused look.

She can locate people by sound because she loves martial arts, but it's really difficult for her to identify people by their scent!

"I must have misheard!" Dou Zhao smiled slightly, then tugged at Zhao Zhangru and said, "If Your Excellency likes other women, you can simply take them in directly. Why bother with all this secrecy?"

"That's true!" Zhao Zhangru nodded in agreement.

That's right! For a man of Marquis's status, there's really no need to hide it when he has a woman he likes and brings her home as a concubine.

Besides, Dou Zhao wasn't the jealous type of legitimate wife. Weren't she the one who actively found two concubines for the Marquis, like herself and Miao Ansu?

Of course, this is also Dou Zhao's current thought. She is now certain that Wei Tingyu definitely has other women outside!

However, considering that she was able to find him two concubines, it wasn't impossible for him to take concubines himself.

For Dou Zhao in this life, all she wants is to live a peaceful and smooth life, to do things she likes, and to have a loving husband. That would be enough for her.

Wei Tingyu not only supports her family, but also dotes on her! Most importantly, he doesn't force her to give up her love of business; instead, he greatly encourages her and has even become the supplier for her most profitable perfume business!

From any perspective, Wei Tingyu is Dou Zhao's best choice in life! No matter how many women he marries, as long as they don't affect his life, it doesn't matter!

……

"My wife's cooking is truly excellent!" Wei Tingyu exclaimed sincerely as he sat at the head of the table, savoring the delicious food before him.

Putting everything else aside, Dou Zhao's Peony Fish Slices and Thousand-Thread Shrimp were truly exquisite! They were far more delicious than the similar dishes Wei Tingyu had eaten in restaurants in the modern world before his time travel!

"Then please eat more, my lord!" Dou Zhao was very happy to hear Wei Tingyu's sincere praise. At this moment, she sat next to Wei Tingyu, serving him food and pouring wine, showing the demeanor of a virtuous wife.

Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru sat further to the side, craning their necks to watch Wei Tingyu eat.

After all, they were guests and could have easily sat down to eat. However, both women were currently focused on presenting themselves as submissive and virtuous women to Wei Tingyu, so they chose not to touch their chopsticks.

"My lord..." Seeing the harmonious and loving relationship between Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu whispered with envy, "I made that golden jade needle..."

"Me too, me too! I helped too!" Zhao Zhangru should have felt a little awkward since she didn't have any dishes to offer. However, this carefree woman didn't seem to think so at all. Instead, she said with a boastful look, "I helped cut the peony fish fillets, and I also helped peel and devein the shredded shrimp..."
