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

Zhou Ruyin's expression remained calm, but a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, though the maids failed to notice it.

However, Zhuang Hanyan keenly noticed this change and snorted disdainfully in her heart.

Ruyin is really cunning this week, with one scheme after another, and she can't wait to come to me!

"Lang'er! You've gone too far!" Zhou Ruyin naturally wouldn't speak at this moment, but instead, the personal maid beside him frowned and reprimanded her.

"Did I say something wrong?" The maid named Lang'er was clearly someone who liked to talk back and wasn't afraid of trouble, so she immediately retorted.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhuang Hanyan understood perfectly! Sending such a maid to serve in her courtyard was clearly a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble!

"Auntie! Look at the way he's acting!" Zhou Ruyin's personal maid, unable to save face at this moment, turned to her mistress and complained, "Taking advantage of your kind heart, he's become increasingly lawless!"

"Alright!" Zhou Ruyin naturally wanted to stir up displeasure among these new maids. Now that she had achieved her goal, she quickly waved her hand to stop the argument between her personal maid and Lang'er.

"Although we are both broadcasters, we are still women! It's not easy to survive in the inner quarters, so we mustn't make things difficult for each other!" She then adopted the demeanor of a kind and benevolent mistress, saying, "Lang'er! You should also restrain yourself! Don't talk nonsense, remember?"

"Yes!" Lang'er pursed her lips upon hearing this, and then gently bowed her head in a salute.

However, judging from her appearance, she is still resentful and will definitely cause some more trouble!

"Auntie! Something terrible has happened! There's a commotion in the front yard!" At this moment, another maid rushed over, bowed to Zhou Ruyin, and said.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ruyin asked in surprise.

Chapter 217 Zhuang Hanyan is humiliated! Wei Tingyu saves the beauty!

"It seems that despite all the difficulties and obstacles Han has created, he still refuses to let the marriage proceed as planned!"

"Young Master had some wine and was spreading rumors and gossip at the Han family's residence, which was extremely rude..."

"The master got angry and sent the young master back!"

The maid seemed very anxious, so she recounted the events in rapid succession without even taking a deep breath.

"Oh dear! This little rascal!" Zhou Ruyin was immediately alarmed upon hearing this and quickly ran to the front yard.

As soon as she left, the six maids who had been brought into the courtyard started chatting amongst themselves, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After all, in their eyes, this was a huge piece of gossip! Aunt Zhou's son was the only son of the Zhuang family, destined to take over the family business, but now the engagement had been broken off by Minister Han's family...

This matter concerns the future development of the Zhuang family, and of course it is also closely related to the maids who work for the Zhuang family.

Zhuang Hanyan overheard the last few sentences and then lifted the curtain to come out.

"Just now I heard... what happened in the front yard?" Zhuang Hanyan called out to a maid and asked directly.

"Thanks to the Third Miss!" Before the maid could reply, the girl named Lang'er next to her said sarcastically, "Our Zhuang family has been quite lively these past two days!"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you all!" Zhuang Hanyan, on the contrary, remained calm and composed, and smiled as she spoke.

"Oh dear! We can't accept that!" Seeing this, the maid named Lang'er thought Zhuang Hanyan was easy to bully, and immediately said, "You are the mistress and we are servants, how can we address each other as sisters?"

"Besides, this isn't some rural area of ​​Danzhou. If word gets out..."

However, to the surprise of Lang'er and the other new maids, Zhuang Hanyan, who had been wearing a gentle smile, suddenly turned to Shuhong, who was following behind her, and asked, "Shuhong! According to the rules of the Zhuang family, how should a servant be punished for speaking out of turn?"

"Reporting to Third Miss!" Shu Hong, who had been watching from the side for a long time and was already displeased, seized the opportunity and immediately replied, "A servant who speaks out of turn deserves to be slapped!"

Upon hearing this, the maids trembled. They hadn't expected that Zhuang Hanyan, this wild girl from the countryside, would so quickly gain the authority of her mistress.

Despite her gentle smile, she has a rather serious demeanor.

However, the maid named Lang'er rolled her eyes disdainfully and looked at Zhuang Hanyan, saying, "What? Are you going to hit me?"

"Young lady!" Before Zhuang Hanyan could speak, a young man called out as he ran in with two servants, his face looking around as if searching for someone.

This person was none other than Zhuang's only son, Zhou Ruyin's son, who was pretending to be Zhuang Yuchi!

Upon entering, he immediately spotted Zhuang Hanyan, who stood out like a crane among chickens amidst the maids. He paused for a moment, then walked directly towards her.

"Young Master! Your concubine went out looking for you!" The maid named Lang'er's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Zhuang Yuchi, and she quickly bowed respectfully to him and said.

Zhuang Yuchi, the only son of the Zhuang family who had been spoiled since childhood, walked over with an expression that seemed like that of a playboy, swinging his wide sleeves.

Zhuang Hanyan was naturally not afraid of this half-brother she had never met before. She turned around and stared straight at him until he came in front of her.

However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, after all, this younger brother was really embarrassing! If he walked and behaved like this in public, he would probably be laughed at!

"So you're that barefoot ghost?" Zhuang Yuchi walked up to Zhuang Hanyan, looked at her coldly, and then asked directly and bluntly.

"I..." Zhuang Hanyan's lips parted slightly, but before she could say anything, the maid named Lang'er interrupted her.

"Young Master! The Third Miss is of noble status and is now staying at our Gongtong Courtyard! Your room is the most spacious and has already been assigned to the Third Miss!" Of course, this Lang'er was definitely not going to be a peacemaker; instead, she started to stir things up.

Only then did Zhuang Hanyan truly understand why Zhou Ruyin had arranged for this maid to stay in her courtyard!

With her around, it would be strange if she didn't annoy everyone in the entire manor!

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuchi's expression immediately changed! At that moment, he looked like a little kid whose baby bottle had been snatched away, and even his cheeks puffed out.

Zhuang Hanyan was even more speechless upon seeing this scene.

She had no idea that this courtyard was originally Zhuang Yuchi's side room!

Now it seems that Zhou Ruyin's arrangement of herself here was also meant to stir up trouble!

Zhuang Hanyan was truly aggrieved at this moment. If she had known that this place belonged to this immature brat, she would never have wanted to move in!

At this moment, Zhuang Yuchi turned around and ran into the side room without saying a word. Then she took out the boxes and decorations from Zhuang Hanyan's room and threw them heavily into the courtyard.

"Get out of here!"

"You ruined my plans! You stole my honor! And you even took my bed!"

"Who gave you permission?!"

After smashing and banging things around, Zhuang Yuchi, panting heavily, walked up to Zhuang Hanyan, glared at her, and shouted, "You are Father's only legitimate daughter! I am also his only son!"

"..." Zhuang Hanyan almost rolled her eyes to the heavens when she saw Zhuang Yuchi's appearance! If possible, she really didn't want to have such a stupid illegitimate younger brother!

It has to be said that Zhuang Yuchi's expression is completely unlike that of his scheming mother, Zhou Ruyin, who seems to be related by blood.

Because it was so incredibly stupid! It was even stupid enough to involve divination!

So much so that even strangers who know nothing about her would immediately think she's an idiot after seeing her actions!

"Let me tell you! It's all over half the capital. Everyone's saying that the barefoot Zhuang family cursed my grandfather to death and also killed my uncle and aunt. They've fled back to the capital!"

After throwing a tantrum, Zhuang Yuchi, that fool, saw that Zhuang Hanyan was still just staring straight at him without any anger or panic. He assumed that his behavior had frightened her and became smug.

"Don't tell me that Minister Han thinks it's bad luck!" Zhuang Yuchi was now really putting on an act. She pointed at the maids in the courtyard and said, "Look at these girls, even the slightly timid ones don't dare to come in!"

"You forced my father to grovel and beg for peace, and you've made the whole courtyard restless!"

"Tell me, who in this family can tolerate you?!"

"Speak!" Zhuang Yuchi glared at Zhuang Hanyan with a displeased expression, her eyes wide. Seeing that the other party did not reply, she assumed that she had run out of arguments, and she became even more smug.

"I was wrong!" However, Zhuang Hanyan was much more mature than this little brat. She gave a cold smile, then turned around and slowly said, "You ruined Fourth Brother's marriage that he had climbed too high!"

Upon hearing Zhuang Hanyan's words, Zhuang Yuchi froze on the spot, while his peripheral vision swept over the other maids in the courtyard.

Although the maids all kept their heads down and didn't speak, Zhuang Yuchi felt that they were all laughing at her in their hearts!

In their eyes, my outburst just now was just a display of impotence and rage because my marriage proposal was rejected.

Thinking of this, he frowned and pushed Zhuang Hanyan forward with both hands!

Zhuang Hanyan was completely caught off guard and had no time to react. After all, she never dreamed that Zhuang Yuchi, a son of an official, would resort to violence after his impotent rage!

And it was the kind of behavior a little kid would do, like pushing someone down!

Zhuang Hanyan, a delicate and frail woman, whose body had not yet fully recovered, naturally lost her balance when pushed by Zhuang Yuchi and fell straight backward.

But behind Zhuang Hanyan was the lotus pond in the middle of the courtyard.

Amidst the screams of her maids, she even closed her eyes in despair.

She knew right now that she was definitely going to fall into the lotus pond and get soaked!

No matter how intelligent Zhuang Hanyan was, she could see through Zhou Ruyin's tricks, but she was helpless against her silly son who was acting foolishly!

However, just as Zhuang Hanyan was lamenting in her heart, she suddenly felt a broad arm appear from behind and firmly embrace her shoulder.

Her original downward trajectory toward the lotus pond was halted in mid-air, with only a strand of hair falling down and touching the water's surface; her other clothes and body remained completely dry.

Zhuang Hanyan was startled for a moment, then immediately opened her eyes, because she clearly felt that this arm seemed to be almost exactly the same as the arm that had hugged her when she pretended to faint in front of the Zhuang mansion yesterday!

Sure enough, her gaze shifted slightly to the left and she saw Wei Tingyu's face.

Unexpectedly, it was he who caught her, preventing her from falling into the lotus pond in an embarrassing situation!

But why was Wei Tingyu in her own courtyard at this moment? Zhuang Hanyan was completely dumbfounded when she saw the face in front of her!

Compared to the gratitude and joy she felt after being rescued by the other party, Zhuang Hanyan was more confused at this moment!

"You little brat! Are you trying to rebel?!" At this moment, the scolding voice of the Zhuang family's grandmother, Madam Wei, also rang out from the side.

Zhuang Hanyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the old lady pointing angrily at Zhuang Yuchi and scolding her loudly.

So, not only did Wei Tingyu come, but his grandmother, Old Madam Wei, also came?

Zhuang Hanyan's mind was filled with more and more doubts; she really couldn't figure out what the current situation was.
