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

She gave a cold laugh and then said, "Your knowledge may not be that profound, but everyone knows you have a photographic memory!"

"What... is your memory acting up again today?!"

Zhuang Shixiang was stunned when Ruan Xiwen said this.

He stared blankly at the other person and asked, "What do you mean by that? What have I forgotten?"

"Master forgot..." Ruan Xiwen's expression suddenly turned sinister, and her voice lowered, as if she were describing a terrifying matter that could not be described in detail.

"She is not the daughter of a farmer, but the reincarnation of a barefoot demon!"

"She killed my grandfather and ruined my uncle and aunt's lives!"

"You've only been home for a day and you've already ruined your son's marriage!"

"It even attracted assassins!"

"What Master Duan said was indeed true! Her fate is incompatible with our Zhuang clan!"

"If it is kept at home, it will surely bring endless disasters and troubles!"

Looking at Ruan Xiwen's current appearance, even Wei Tingyu couldn't help but frown. It has to be said that the scene in the Zhuang family's courtyard could be used to film a ghost movie without any sense of incongruity.

Especially at this moment, the cold wind blowing in the courtyard made everyone around them break out in goosebumps.

"Oh dear! That's old news... don't take it seriously!" Zhuang Shixiang quickly said after hearing Ruan Xiwen's words, while cautiously glancing at Wei Tingyu.

Seeing his brows furrow slightly, she became even more anxious!

After all, Zhuang Shixiang knew the inside story of the so-called reincarnation of the Red Horned Ghost from beginning to end. It just so happened that Zhuang Hanyan, who was born at that time, became the scapegoat for his sins.

After all, by framing the death of the Zhuang family's grandfather on the head of this newborn girl, no one would suspect that it was the work of his beastly son!

But the situation is different now; Wei Tingyu is still holding the weak Zhuang Hanyan tightly in his arms!

The Duke of Wei's affection for his third daughter was so obvious that even a blind man could see it.

How could Zhuang Shixiang, who always wanted to improve, let go of such a golden opportunity?

Therefore, he not only needs to keep Zhuang Hanyan in the mansion, but also needs to ensure that Wei Tingyu will not believe the words of those barefoot ghosts and thus despise Zhuang Hanyan.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Shixiang frowned and said to Ruan Xiwen, "Those things shouldn't be taken seriously! Don't mention them again!"

"Is that so?" However, Ruan Xiwen was clearly at odds with Zhuang Shixiang at this moment, staring straight at him and asking, "Then why does Minister Han's family insist on severing ties?"

"You stayed in their house until midnight, but you probably didn't manage to persuade them in the slightest, did you?"

"Sigh..." Zhuang Shixiang sighed helplessly after hearing Ruan Xiwen's words, and at the same time felt very angry at his rightful wife for being so ungrateful.

While the marriage proposal from Vice Minister Han is important, isn't the Duke of Wei's current affection for Zhuang Hanyan even more crucial?

After all, a vice minister is just a nominal official; who can say for sure whether he will be promoted or demoted in the future? Even if he manages to latch onto that powerful figure, no one knows how long he can maintain that position.

But Wei Tingyu is different; he is a hereditary marquis! The title has been passed down for generations, and not only has it remained in power, but in his generation, it was even promoted to duke for its merits!

Moreover, it was common for noble families to intermarry! By attaching himself to the Duke of Wei, he had essentially touched the edge of the circle of noble families.

"Father, you're finally back!" Zhuang Yushan, who had been standing there in a daze, noticed his father's dissatisfaction with the mistress and immediately pulled his concubine Zhou Ruyin up to him, pleading, "The mistress gave my concubine and me a good beating!"

"Master, please don't be angry!" Zhou Ruyin quickly interjected, "It was Yushan and I who violated the family rules and deserved to be punished! Mistress has done nothing wrong!"

“Xiwen…you…” Zhuang Shixiang looked at the mother and daughter who rushed up to complain, and he also showed a look of heartache.

"If you feel sorry for me, why not throw me into the ancestral hall and punish me according to family law!" Ruan Xiwen was determined to drive Zhuang Hanyan out of the Zhuang family mansion. She glared coldly at Zhuang Shixiang and said, then shouted loudly at the two servants beside her, "Hurry up and drag her out, drag her out!"

Zhuang Shixiang was speechless. All he wanted to do was quickly calm the chaotic scene at home and stop the Duke of Wei from standing by and laughing at him.

"Stop fooling around!" Zhuang Shixiang shouted, immediately silencing the other servants in the courtyard. After all, he was the master of the house, and the maids and servants naturally dared not make any more moves.

"Hanyan is our biological daughter! She has been separated from us for many years!" He nodded slightly in satisfaction, then added, "I have wanted to bring her back every year, but you have obstructed me in every way every year!"

"Now that you're finally back, there's no reason for us to kick you out again!"

"I'm practically the head of the household. For my sake, please don't make things difficult for her anymore, okay?"

Zhuang Shixiang's words were sincere and heartfelt, directly shifting the blame for not taking responsibility for Zhuang Hanyan's actions over the years onto Ruan Xiwen.

However, Wei Tingyu naturally didn't believe it. He held the still weak Zhuang Hanyan in his arms and coldly watched Zhuang Shixiang put on an act, his heart filled with disdain.

As the head of the family, your word carries weight in the household. Don't be fooled by your usual timid demeanor; one shout from you is enough to command respect from everyone.

These servants clearly understood this principle, so as long as you refused, none of them would dare to carry out Ruan Xiwen's orders. The current situation is the best proof of this!

So, all that was said about Ruan Xiwen preventing Zhuang Hanyan from returning was just an excuse.

Because if Zhuang Shixiang really wanted to bring him back, Ruan Xiwen would absolutely not be able to stop him!

Zhuang Hanyan, who was still lying in Wei Tingyu's arms, was moved by her father's words and began to sob.

It's obvious that this young lady has been deceived by Zhuang Shixiang's superb acting skills; at least for now, she believes him!

However, Wei Tingyu was in no hurry to expose it, as it was better for her to reveal these things herself.

"Did you hear that?" Ruan Xiwen regained her senses and naturally knew that it was impossible to forcibly drive Zhuang Hanyan out now. Her thoughts changed, and she looked at Zhuang Hanyan again and said, "Your father is right!"

"You've been living a miserable and destitute life in Danzhou all these years, all because of me!"

"Do you hate me now?!"

Faced with her crazy future mother-in-law, Ruan Xiwen, Wei Tingyu felt utterly helpless. Right now, she was only focused on getting Zhuang Hanyan out of the Zhuang family, and seeing that force wasn't working, she was resorting to trying to drive her away in a fit of pique.

It has to be said that this woman's mind is not quite normal because of the drastic changes that happened before. She is obsessed with her own idea that she is right, to an extreme degree!

"Han Yan is not destitute in Danzhou! She harbors no resentment whatsoever!" Zhuang Han Yan, still leaning softly against Wei Tingyu's chest, seemed to use all her strength to lift her head and look at Ruan Xiwen, saying, "This hasty trip to the capital is solely because I miss my mother..."

At this point, Zhuang Hanyan almost burst into tears again, her voice changing as she spoke.

This family of drama queens, each with their own ulterior motives, are unleashing their full acting talent!

Holding Zhuang Hanyan's gentle and graceful body in his arms, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Of course, this smile was more out of helplessness, because he had never believed that his own family could turn into this kind of family.

You know what, the premise of this show is absolutely insane!

"Missing you?" Ruan Xiwen was clearly moved by Zhuang Hanyan's words, and her originally livid face softened slightly.

"Although we are mother and daughter, we have never met! Where does this longing come from?"

"Although I am far away in Danzhou, I have heard since I was a child that my mother is a noble lady from the capital, gentle and virtuous, with outstanding character! Her appearance and talent are both first-rate!" Seeing that she had really moved Ruan Xiwen, Zhuang Hanyan quickly said, "I only hope that one day I can reunite with my mother and be under her protection!"

"A noble lady from the capital?" However, upon hearing these four words, Ruan Xiwen's previously calm gaze suddenly turned fierce.

Suddenly, she glared fiercely at Zhuang Hanyan in front of her and shouted loudly.

"My Ruan family was also a prestigious clan, but in the end, didn't we all suffer the fate of being executed and our family destroyed?!"

"You beg for my protection? Don't you know I can't even protect myself!"

"If it weren't for giving birth to you, you barefoot devil, how could my legs be crippled?"

1.1 "You've brought me to this state, and you still have the nerve to ask me for protection?"

"Xiwen!" Zhuang Shixiang quickly interrupted Ruan Xiwen's complaint, saying, "Don't say such harsh words, you'll hurt the child's feelings..."

"Shut up!" However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ruan Xiwen's loud shout.

At this moment, the crazy matriarch was truly like a madwoman, with bright red blood vessels even appearing in her eyes.

"You dealers may look kind and benevolent, but you're all man-eating demons! The fickle nature of hell!"

"I should have burned this house down!"

"Once we reach the Avici Hell and meet the Ten Kings of Hell, we'll see how the judges of hell adjudicate cases!"

Seeing Ruan Xiwen becoming increasingly frantic, the servants present were all terrified, and Zhuang Shixiang was speechless with his mouth agape.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen his wife like this!

Seeing Ruan Xiwen's increasingly deranged state, Wei Tingyu frowned slightly and reached out to release his internal energy, striking her acupoints from a distance.

After all, if left unchecked, his soon-to-be-married wife, Zhuang Hanyan, might soon experience the pain of losing her mother! So he had no choice but to meddle once again!

All the people in the courtyard saw was Wei Tingyu pointing a finger in the air. Ruan Xiwen, who was originally furious, suddenly froze, and the angry expression on her face quickly subsided.

Immediately afterwards, her entire body went limp, and she leaned weakly against the wheelchair, tilting her head back, closing her eyes, and falling into a deep sleep.

"This...this is..." Zhuang Shixiang was dumbfounded. He blinked and looked at Wei Tingyu.

Although he didn't understand martial arts, his intuition told him that there must be a direct connection between the Duke of Wei's gesture of raising his hand and Ruan Xiwen's sudden fainting.

Chapter 223 Zhuang Hanyan is shocked! She has no secrets from the Duke of Wei!

"Lord Zhuang, there's no need to worry!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid your household is just busy today, and the mistress of the Zhuang family has lost her mind for a moment!"

"I was afraid that if she continued like this, she might really go insane, so I used my skills to press the pressure points that made her fall into a deep sleep!"

"Next, we just need to send the mistress back to her courtyard, and she will naturally wake up early tomorrow morning!"

As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, an expression of disbelief appeared on everyone's faces. After all, there wasn't a single person in this courtyard who knew martial arts, let alone advanced techniques like releasing internal energy to strike acupoints!

Even Zhuang Yushan, who had previously been indifferent to Wei Tingyu, had her eyes light up now, and a hint of admiration appeared in her gaze as she looked at Wei Tingyu!

After all, she was a wild and willful girl who loved activities like sword fighting, horseback riding, and hunting.
