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

Zhuang Yuchi goes without saying; he's inherently timid and cowardly.

Despite his arrogant demeanor when bullying Zhuang Hanyan, he was now terrified and his legs went weak when he saw the sharp blade in the hand of the assassin.

As for the other clerks, they were good at doing odd jobs and moving things, but they didn't have the guts to fight.

When the "assassin" saw that his first sword was blocked by Zhuang Hanyan with a wooden box, he didn't say a word and stabbed at Zhuang family grandmother Wei and Zhou Ruyin, who were standing not far away in a daze!

At the critical moment, Zhuang Hanyan dropped the wooden box in her hand and rushed to her grandmother's side.

With a flick of his sword, the "assassin" knocked Zhuang Hanyan to the ground.

Fortunately, the two were quite far apart, so apart from a tear in her clothes, Zhuang Hanyan was not physically harmed.

Wei Tingyu could only laugh inwardly upon seeing this! It must be said that Chai Jing's swordsmanship is quite good; at least her sense of distance is excellent!

It can tear a girl's clothes without harming her body... Hmm! This move is clearly very useful! I should find an opportunity to ask her for advice on this sword technique sometime...

Unlike the smile in Wei Tingyu's heart, everyone else present was terrified by the dangerous scene that had just unfolded.

Because in everyone's eyes, Zhuang Hanyan was risking her life to protect her grandmother's safety; that sword strike just now almost took her life!

However, Chai Jing is now in a difficult situation, unable to back down from this charade!

Because now, according to the original plan, it's time for her to retreat.

But unfortunately, there seemed to be no one in the entire courtyard who could fight. She was in a position of complete advantage, but now she was facing a house full of lambs to the slaughter. If she just ran away like this, wouldn't it seem too deliberate?

Zhuang Hanyan was stunned. According to her original plan, these servants should have bravely rushed up to fight Chai Jing, and she would then pretend to be outnumbered and take the opportunity to escape.

But the current scene...

Just as Zhuang Hanyan was secretly lamenting that the plan had gone wrong, Wei Tingyu made his move!

He extended two fingers and pointed gently in Chai Jing's direction, and then a surge of internal energy emanated from his fingertips.

Before Chai Jing could react, the internal force shot past the hairs on his cheek and shattered a water vat behind him with a loud thud!

At this moment, Chai Jing felt a burning pain on her cheek. She knew that her cheek was not bleeding, but it must have left a red mark that would not disappear for at least two days!

She never expected that Duke Wei Tingyu would have such skill and such strong internal strength!

With a casual flick of his finger, he shattered a water tank behind him!

If that finger had hit her head, it would definitely be her head that's now torn to pieces!

Having thought this through, Chai Jing no longer hesitated. He turned around, channeled his inner energy, and quickly disappeared from the rooftops in the darkness...

Zhuang Hanyan was also startled by what she had just witnessed. Only after seeing Chai Jing's figure disappear and Wei Tingyu no longer trying to stop her did she finally let out a heavy sigh of relief, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

"Grandma! Grandma!" At this moment, Zhuang Hanyan was pulled back to reality by the calls of the maids beside her.

She put the matter aside for the moment and turned to look at her grandmother, Madam Wei.

"Someone come quick... find a doctor... the old lady has fainted..." The maids' sobbing cries drifted into Zhuang Hanyan's ears, but what she saw was that Zhuang's grandmother had fainted from fright at the scene just now.

This was something Zhuang Hanyan hadn't anticipated...

Sighing inwardly, Zhuang Hanyan glanced at Wei Tingyu again, only to find that he was also looking at her with a meaningful gaze!

His gaze was so deep, as if he were warning you that no matter how many secrets you had, you could not escape his eyes!

There was even a faint, meaningful smile playing on his lips, as if he had already seen through the trick!

Considering Wei Tingyu's actions against Chai Jing, it seemed less like stopping this fake "assassin" from harming anyone, and more like giving her a legitimate reason to leave immediately...

Could it be that Wei Tingyu really sees through everything, and that he completely guessed the plan he and Chai Jing had discussed before, which involved posing as assassins?

Thinking about this made Zhuang Hanyan even more uneasy. She disliked the feeling that no matter what she did, she seemed to be unable to escape the other party's control.

But what exactly is Wei Tingyu's attitude towards her? Zhuang Hanyan isn't entirely sure yet!

It was this feeling that made her uneasy, and she always felt a sense of suffocation in her heart!

……

"I came to visit Miss Zhuang's condition late at night, but I never expected that such a good show would unfold in the Zhuang family mansion!" A moment later, in the front hall of the Zhuang family, Wei Tingyu, Zhou Ruyin, Zhuang Hanyan and others were sitting in chairs. He sipped his fragrant tea and said with a smile.

At this moment, the expression on his face was like that of an audience member who had just finished watching a great show, his gossipy nature fully satisfied.

However, the members of the Zhuang family were all embarrassed, after all, such a commotion had never happened in the Zhuang family courtyard in the past ten years! And of all things, they were gathered together and were caught by the nobleman, Duke Wei!

"This is a disaster!" At this moment, Zhuang Hanyan, who was sitting opposite Wei Tingyu, forced a smile and said, "No need for the Duke to worry about it!"

Her meaning was simple: let's just let this matter of the assassin go, and please don't ask any more questions.

"Does Miss San think that the assassins arranged by Zhuang Yuchi tonight were trying to kill you?" Of course, Zhuang Hanyan wanted to let the matter drop, but Wei Tingyu certainly wouldn't let her have her way so easily.

Before Zhuang Hanyan could even speak, Zhou Ruyin, who was sitting next to him, stood up nervously and said, "Lord Duke, there must be some misunderstanding!"

At this moment, Zhou Ruyin was truly afraid that her foolish son would get involved in the assassination attempt.

Originally, this matter didn't really hurt anyone, so the bookmaker just covered it up and investigated it slowly.

But the Duke of Wei happened to see it, and if he were to expose this, things would get really interesting!

After all, if you don't dare to report an assassination attempt on your home to the authorities for a thorough investigation, it can only mean that there must be something even more shameful than the assassination attempt that you are hiding!

It's possible that it won't just be a matter for the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review; it could even attract the emperor's henchmen!

When those people arrive, they can find something out about you, even if you're completely innocent!

“This matter is suspicious!” Zhuang Hanyan said calmly, “Although my fourth brother hates me for ruining his marriage, we are blood relatives after all. He wouldn’t be so cruel!”

"You've just entered the Zhuang family, how can you be so sure he wouldn't be so ruthless?" Wei Tingyu looked at Zhuang Hanyan, staring straight into her eyes as he asked.

"I'm just guessing..." Zhuang Hanyan was taken aback, then lowered her eyes and said softly.

When Zhou Ruyin heard Zhuang Hanyan speak up for her son, she was first surprised, then immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, it's hard to say who the assassin was after! If Wei Tingyu insists that the assassin was after him, then this matter will also be related to him!

If he were to report the case to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice, the Zhuang family wouldn't be able to stop him, and the matter could even be brought to the highest levels of government!

After all, Wei Tingyu was a meritorious official whom the emperor had just bestowed a title upon, and his ancestral title, which had remained unchanged for generations, was also elevated!

Such a person was actually assassinated in the capital?! Isn't that tantamount to directly slapping the emperor and the court in the face?!

At that point, it would be impossible to settle things peacefully!

"Let go! I'll make you let go!" But then, Zhuang Yuchi's loud, unrestrained shouting and cursing came from outside the hall again.

It was clear that the servant at the door was trying to stop him from barging into the main hall, but this fool was determined to come in!

Sure enough, everyone in the hall soon saw him come running in again, swinging his sleeves and acting all nonchalant.

However, his right hand had already been bandaged, and Wei Tingyu had only punished him with a little force, without breaking all the bones in his hand. So after his hand was immobilized with bandages, it would be able to recover in a month or two.

It was precisely because he had just received this news from the doctor that Zhuang Yuchi felt confident again and barged in once more without saying another word.

Faced with this guy's arrival, everyone present rolled their eyes in exasperation. Even his own mother, Zhou Ruyin, frowned deeply.

If this weren't truly her own son, she would have really thought of beating him to death and throwing him out right now.

"This barefoot devil, a cursed star, has provoked thieves! What does it have to do with me?!" Zhuang Yuchi glared coldly at Zhuang Hanyan after entering, then turned to Wei Tingyu and said with a resentful expression.

"Chi'er!" Zhou Ruyin's face was full of helplessness and anxiety, but her stubborn son was really stubborn and wouldn't recognize anyone when he got angry.

Hearing him scold her, Zhuang Hanyan felt no emotion whatsoever! After all, who would really argue with a fool? She simply turned her head to the side, no longer looking at her stupid younger brother.

"What? Are you interrogating me?" Zhuang Yuchi was oblivious to the contempt everyone held for him. Instead, he confidently looked at Wei Tingyu and asked, "What crime have I committed?"

(Wang Hao Zhao) Wei Tingyu was too lazy to pay attention to this fool. He stood up and slowly walked a few steps until he stopped not far in front of Zhuang Hanyan and stared straight at her.

Zhuang Hanyan was startled, then quickly lowered her eyes. At this moment, Wei Tingyu was looking down at her, and Zhuang Hanyan was very nervous.

The oppressive feeling made the hairs on his back stand on end, but he still pretended to be calm and collected on the surface.

When Wei Tingyu saw Zhuang Hanyan's appearance, he smiled and then looked up at the maids standing behind him and asked, "When the Third Miss had her argument with Zhuang Yuchi today, did he say he wanted to kill the Third Miss?"

Upon hearing this, the maids immediately sprang to attention and looked up at Zhuang Yuchi.

Their faces clearly showed fear, so they didn't dare to speak. After all, it was common for Zhuang Yuchi, the young master, to beat and scold his servants at the drop of a hat!

Zhuang Yuchi, meanwhile, wore a smug expression, seemingly unconcerned about what he had said earlier.

"If you're lying, I'll have you all taken to court!" Wei Tingyu noticed the maids' worries and threatened them again.

"I told you!" Zhuang Yuchi, that fool, admitted it before the maids could answer: "So what if I told you?"

Seeing this guy's nonchalant attitude, everyone present was speechless.

Does he really not know who the Duke of Wei is? If he forces you to go to court, do you think your status as the son of an official will be of any use? Do you think the officials of the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice will show you leniency?

Why would someone be so stupid?

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Ruyin quickly interjected, "How can you take the children's angry words seriously?"

"Children?" Wei Tingyu was taken aback. So the excuse of "bratty children" wasn't just a thing in modern society a thousand years later. It turns out that even back then, parents were already using it as an excuse to spoil their children!

"You're about to get engaged, are you still a child?" Wei Tingyu turned around and looked at Zhou Ruyin without thinking and said.

Zhou Ruyin was taken aback, but she really didn't know how to answer this question!
