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

At this moment, she knew that even if she spoke eloquently, it would be useless. Even if the old lady, Madam Wei, believed her, she would not dare to interfere in Ruan Xiwen's affairs.

“The Zhuang family is in turmoil, and I am disciplining them!” Ruan Xiwen stared coldly at the old lady and said, “What are your opinions, Mother?”

"No! No!" Upon hearing this, Madam Wei quickly shook her head and said, "You just have some sense of propriety! Don't let it lead to a murder case!"

After saying that, the old lady put her hand to her forehead and pretended to faint.

"Old lady!" Her maids quickly supported her swaying body.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Madam Wei rubbed her forehead, then sighed and said, "I was just frightened, my mind is still a little fuzzy... Help me back to rest!"

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and turned to walk away.

Seeing this, the second young lady, Zhuang Yushan, was speechless. She opened her mouth but could only manage to call out "Grandmother" before falling silent.

Because she now understands things clearly: the old lady has neither the ability nor the desire to manage the affairs of this courtyard!

"Hurry, hurry, let's see if Master has returned yet?" Madam Wei muttered under her breath as she led the maids out quickly.

Of course, her so-called whispering was quite loud; at least Wei Tingyu and Zhuang Hanyan next to her could hear it clearly.

"It's all because of you!" Seeing Wei leave, Zhuang Yushan's initial composure vanished completely due to the shattering of her hopes, and her willful and capricious nature once again took over.

He turned his head and stared intently at Zhuang Hanyan, who was kneeling beside him, and shouted angrily: "It's all because of you, you barefoot devil! You caused trouble as soon as you entered the house! What are you doing back here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Xiwen's originally indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened!

"Yushan! Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Ruyin was also startled and quickly stepped forward to stop her daughter from saying anything more.

"Zhou Ruyin!" Ruan Xiwen was naturally enraged at this moment. She looked at Zhou Ruyin and said, "What a fine daughter you've raised!"

"I'm not dead yet! I'm already taking over the household management for the mistress!"

Although Zhuang Yushan was willful and capricious, her personality fluctuated, unlike her younger brother who was always stupid and dull.

She had now come to her senses and realized that she had said the wrong thing, so Zhou Ruyin pulled her down to kneel down obediently again.

"The mistress's discipline is correct!" Zhou Ruyin honestly admitted her mistake, "It's all my fault!"

However, at this moment, Ruan Xiwen no longer wanted to pay attention to Zhou Ruyin and Zhuang Yushan, the mother and daughter. Instead, she looked at Zhuang Hanyan kneeling to the side and asked, "Third Miss! If you covet the wealth and glory of the capital, then today you should see if you can bear the life in this deep mansion!"

"Han Yan is not after wealth and glory!" Upon hearing this, Zhuang Han Yan immediately understood. It turned out that today's whole drama was a show her mother deliberately put on for her.

In fact, she could imagine that if Wei Tingyu hadn't protected her, she would definitely have been punished by family law today, and the scars on her body would have been quite severe!

However, none of this mattered to Zhuang Hanyan! In fact, the seventeen years that the host had lived in Zhang Youchang's house were not necessarily much better than the crazy mansion of the Zhuang family!

Wei Tingyu naturally understood Zhuang Hanyan's thoughts!

Ruan Xiwen's madness lies in the fact that she only saw the filth and depravity of the Zhuang family in front of her, and thus imagined the life outside the compound to be infinitely beautiful.

Little did they know just how difficult life was for ordinary, poor families in this world!

If it weren't for Wei Tingyu's intervention, Zhuang Hanyan would likely have already been defiled by that lecherous old man Zhang Youchang and sold into a brothel! Such suffering was beyond Ruan Xiwen's comprehension!

"Zhuang Yushan's behavior is outrageous, but she's right about one thing!" Ruan Xiwen continued, looking at Zhuang Hanyan who still refused to back down, "You shouldn't have come back!"

Hearing Ruan Xiwen talking to herself like this, Wei Tingyu didn't even have the thought of criticizing her in his mind.

This woman can't be called stupid, but rather that her experiences have made her overly arrogant!

She thought she was being clever by finding a way for her daughter to survive, but little did she know that she was actually pushing Zhuang Hanyan into a den of wolves!

If this girl hadn't had the will to resist and hadn't encountered Wei Tingyu's help, how could she possibly be alive now?

"Granny Chen!" Seeing that Zhuang Hanyan was staring straight at her without replying, Ruan Xiwen spoke to Granny Chen beside her, "The Zhuang family has no daughter like this! Since she has already been beaten and punished, let's kick her out!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hanyan's eyes widened in disbelief; she never dreamed that such an outcome would occur.

Wei Tingyu couldn't understand Ruan Xiwen's crazy future mother-in-law's behavior either, but he didn't need to speak up at this moment, because he had already heard the sound of a carriage outside the mansion.

At this moment, Zhuang Hanyan subconsciously regarded Wei Tingyu as her savior. She quickly looked up at him, hoping that he would stand up and speak for her.

After all, the title of Duke of Wei was still quite useful in the Zhuang family at this time! Although it was not appropriate to interfere directly, it would be a different story if the nobleman witnessed this matter firsthand!

Presumably, Ruan Xiwen, as the matriarch of the Zhuang family, should at least give the Zhuang family some face!

Wei Tingyu winked gently at Zhuang Hanyan, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous because the problem was solved.

Zhuang Hanyan understood his implication instantly, but doubts arose in her mind.

However, a commotion immediately followed in front of the Zhuang family mansion, startling everyone present.

Then, Zhou Ruyin, Zhuang Yushan, and the others all showed expressions of relief.

Because of the noise, they naturally knew that Zhuang Shixiang, the owner of the Zhuang family, had finally returned.

"Han Yan... Han Yan!" Soon, Zhuang Shixiang's shouts and hurried footsteps came from the doorway, followed by him leading a few servants who rushed in quickly.

At this moment, Wei Tingyu walked to Zhuang Hanyan's side and coughed lightly to remind her.

The young woman was taken aback, but after looking up and seeing Wei Tingyu's gaze, she immediately understood.

When it comes to acting skills, she is second to none. Immediately, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the side with a thud.

Of course, with Wei Tingyu nearby, he naturally reached out and pulled her into his arms again.

Zhuang Hanyan, who was pretending to faint, felt that Wei Tingyu had taken advantage of her again, and felt helpless.

Chapter 222 The Mother-in-Law is Too Crazy! Wei Tingyu Makes His Move!

However, given the current situation, since Zhuang Hanyan has already fainted, she naturally cannot wake up again!

She could only sigh softly and let Wei Tingyu put his arm around her shoulder. Anyway, this wasn't the first time for her; this man had already taken advantage of her before.

"Where's Han Yan?" After entering, Zhuang Shixiang glanced at the people filling the courtyard and hall, and then went straight to Zhuang Han Yan, who was being held in Wei Tingyu's arms and pretending to be unconscious.

He even picked up a lantern from the side, carefully examined Zhuang Hanyan's face, and nodded with a look of confirmation, saying, "This is Hanyan! This really is Hanyan!"

Yesterday, Zhuang Shixiang stayed overnight at the Hanlin Academy on official business and did not return home. Today, he rushed to Vice Minister Han's residence to discuss the marriage between Zhuang Yuchi and his daughter.

So this was Zhuang Shixiang’s first time home in the past two days, and naturally it was also the first time he had actually seen Zhuang Hanyan!

"And this is..." Of course, after pretending to confirm that his daughter Zhuang Hanyan had finally returned, Zhuang Shixiang turned his attention to Wei Tingyu.

Wei Tingyu was speechless at Zhuang Shixiang's performance.

Since you even know about Zhuang Hanyan's return home, how could you not know about the entanglements between the dignified Duke of Wei and Zhuang Hanyan?

It seems like this is just another act!

"Master! This is the Duke of Wei!" At this moment, Zhou Ruyin, who was standing next to him, seized the opportunity to step forward and said, "If we're talking about how our Hanyan was saved, it's all thanks to the Duke! Our entire family owes the Duke a favor..."

Zhuang Shixiang already knew, of course, but for now he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and flattered, and quickly took two steps back to straighten his clothes.

Then, with a respectful bow, he said, "So it is the Duke of Wei who has graced us with his presence! Please forgive me for being away from home for the past two days and unable to meet you in time!"

"We, the entire Zhuang family, will forever be grateful for the Duke of Wei's great kindness and virtue!"

"Please accept my bow!"

As Zhuang Shixiang spoke, he bowed deeply to Wei Tingyu, raising his hands even above his head. This humble demeanor surprised everyone present.

After all, this gift is truly a very solemn occasion!

Wei Tingyu certainly knew what Zhuang Shixiang was planning!

After all, his statement meant that the Zhuang family already owed the Duke of Wei a huge favor, so how would they repay that favor in the future?

The only thing I can do is offer my daughter in marriage!

Of course, now that Zhuang Shixiang had also come up with this idea, Wei Tingyu was even more confident that Zhuang Hanyan would not be kicked out of the mansion.

After all, Zhuang Shixiang still wanted to use his newly returned third daughter to establish a marriage alliance with Wei Guo Kung Fu! How could he possibly agree to kick her out of the mansion and disown her as his daughter?

"The Third Miss has angered the Mistress, and the Mistress has ordered us to expel the Third Miss from the house!" At this moment, Granny Chen stepped forward again, bowed to Zhuang Shixiang, and said.

This old nanny Chen only had Ruan Xiwen's orders on her mind; she didn't care about anyone else except herself.

"Nonsense!" Zhuang Shixiang became even more anxious upon hearing this, almost jumping up! This was his precious daughter, the one he was using to keep the Duke of Wei, a wealthy and eligible bachelor, how could he possibly kick her out?

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shixiang's face changed, and he immediately said loudly, "You've become so haggard, how can you still kick me out of the house?"

After saying that, he quickly took two steps forward and called out to Zhuang Hanyan, who was still lying in Wei Tingyu's arms, "Hanyan! Hanyan! It's your father! You've suffered..."

Logically speaking, if your daughter is unconscious in the arms of a stranger, as her father, I should immediately take the initiative to rescue her! After all, even if there is some kindness involved, I can't let the other person hold my daughter like that forever; wouldn't that make me a laughingstock?

However, Zhuang Shixiang showed absolutely no intention of taking his daughter away from Wei Tingyu's arms. His intentions were now completely exposed to everyone in the Zhuang family!

He probably secretly hopes this matter will blow up quickly! Ideally, it would be so big that everyone in the capital would know about it by the next day, to the point that Wei Tingyu wouldn't be able to handle the situation even if he didn't marry Zhuang Hanyan!

"Father..." Zhuang Hanyan slowly woke up, blinking slightly. She moved her lips slightly and then uttered these two words with difficulty.

"Alright, alright!" Zhuang Shixiang nodded quickly upon hearing this, then looked at Ruan Xiwen, who was still sitting in her wheelchair with a livid face and remained silent, and said, "Xiwen! Hanyan has finally returned home after years of wandering! Our family is finally reunited! Why are you doing this?"

However, Wei Tingyu thought his pretentious act was utterly worthless!

After all, if Zhuang Shixiang really cared for Zhuang Hanyan so much, how could he have let her wander in Danzhou and live under someone else's roof for seventeen years without asking about her?

He's putting on an act of a loving old father right now, but to someone as knowledgeable as Wei Tingyu, his behavior seems even more ridiculous!

Of course, through Zhuang Shixiang, Wei Tingyu also understood why everyone in the Zhuang family loved acting and had such high acting skills! After all, even the master was like that, so naturally everyone else would follow suit!

"My lord has served in the Hanlin Academy for many years!" Of course, Zhuang Shixiang's acting skills could not fool Ruan Xiwen.
