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

Chapter 50 Favoring the Concubine and Destroying the Wife? The Show Has Only Just Begun!

Old Mrs. Cui, who was familiar with the relationship between Dou Zhao's biological mother and Wang Yingxue, immediately wondered if Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhaoru were two Wang Yingxues.

But then I noticed that these two concubines were able to follow their master and mistress around everywhere, and were even dressed in luxurious clothes, almost on par with the mistress.

This clearly shows that the Marquis of Jining is a man who dotes on his wife and neglects her! He even brought his concubine to his estate to provoke him!

Grandma Cui thought she had figured things out in an instant, and her face immediately fell.

"Greetings, Madam Cui! May you be well, Madam!" Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru naturally wouldn't be rude, especially since they were facing Madam Cui, who had watched them grow up. They immediately stepped forward and knelt down slightly to pay their respects.

"Zhao'er!" Old Mrs. Cui glanced at Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru and said, "How come your two best friends got married so soon? Which noble families did they marry? Why didn't you tell me, your old lady, so I could have gone to the wedding and given a red envelope..."

However, Old Mrs. Cui's words were a bit too sarcastic and obvious. Even Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru could tell that the old lady was angry.

Fortunately, the group had already discussed their plan on the carriage and knew exactly what to do if they encountered this situation, so the two women were not flustered or afraid.

"Reporting to the old lady!" Miao Ansu, naturally sensible, stepped forward and said to Old Madam Cui, "My sister and I were personally introduced by Sister Zhao and married into the family. Now we are also concubines of the Marquis of Jining!"

"Huh?" Old Madam Cui was stunned when she heard this. "It was my granddaughter who personally introduced you to the Marquis's mansion as concubines."

Was she forced by Wei Tingyu? This thought popped into Old Mrs. Cui's mind for a moment, but she immediately dismissed it!

Because she knows her granddaughter's temperament very well!

Dou Zhao would never do this if she didn't want to; even if someone held a knife to her neck, she would not back down or be afraid!

So it really was her own choice and she was willing to do it?

I don't understand! I really don't understand!

Grandma Cui frowned, completely baffled as to what these four young people were up to.

At this moment, Dou Zhao stepped forward and took his grandmother's arm, leading her towards the inner hall. He said, "The reasons for this cannot be explained in a short time. I will explain it to you in detail later."

"..." Old Mrs. Cui wanted to ask something more, but seeing the current situation and so many servants present, it was indeed not appropriate to make these private matters of the family too public. So she silently followed Dou Zhao back to the inner hall.

……

"So that's it!"

Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the inner hall was harmonious and peaceful!

Dou Zhao recounted the whole story of how she arranged for Wei Tingyu to take a concubine, and of course, she also told her grandmother everything about how Wei Tingyu had supported her from her family.

With Zhao Zhangru and Miao Ansu occasionally chiming in to add to the atmosphere, Old Madam Cui's impression of Wei Tingyu, her grandson-in-law, improved even further compared to before.

After all, a man who would stand up for his trusted confidante who had only been with him for three days, even at the risk of offending his parents-in-law, is definitely someone you can entrust your life to!

As for Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, having grown up under Old Madam Cui's watchful eye, Old Madam Cui was quite familiar with their character. As long as their interests weren't threatened, Old Madam Cui had absolutely no objection to whether or not they became concubines.

After all, for a family like the Marquis of Jining's mansion, the possibility of the Marquis spending his entire life with only one woman is extremely low! Even the optimistic Old Madam Cui never harbored such a wishful thought.

Since Dou Zhao was going to take concubines, the fact that she personally selected two of her close friends shows that her granddaughter had already given it careful consideration.

The fact that the three daughters could look after each other in the future Marquis's mansion reassured Old Madam Cui to some extent.

As for Wei Tingyu's willingness to give his concubines Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru the same material treatment as his principal wife, Old Madam Cui could understand that.

Doesn't this prove that he's not a man who flatters the powerful and belittles the weak, treating women as mere playthings?

"Grandmother, please allow me to report!" At this moment, Wei Tingyu stood up, bowed solemnly and respectfully to Old Madam Cui, and said, "I will do my utmost to protect Zhao'er throughout my life! I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance!"

"Good! Good! Good! Good child!" When Grandma Cui saw Wei Tingyu make such a solemn promise to her in front of the three girls, she was overjoyed and said "good" three times.

She had indeed been worried before, but now it seems that entrusting her precious granddaughter to a man like Wei Tingyu is the best choice.

"Grandmother! Actually, it was the Marquis's idea for our whole family to come and visit you today!"

Seeing the look in her grandmother's eyes as she looked at Wei Tingyu, Dou Zhao knew that she was very satisfied with her husband, and she was overjoyed. She quickly added, "With dark clouds looming over the city, the Marquis knows that it must be raining heavily for several days!"

"A kind-hearted old woman like my grandmother would surely worry about the tenant farmers on the farm suffering from cold and hunger!"

"I must personally inspect the villages and repair the irrigation canals to distribute the grain!"

"That's why we came all the way here to help Grandma..."

"Oh! Is that so! Good child! Good child! Grandmother thanks you!" When Grandma Cui heard her granddaughter's words, her eyes lit up. She never expected that Wei Tingyu's visit to the village with his family was not a coincidence, but rather that he had the same worries as her!

At this moment, Grandma Cui's eyes were red. Having such a grandchild must be such a comfort to the old lady!

……

After a day of inspecting the estates, Wei Tingyu and his group arrived at a secluded mountain villa under Dou Zhao's name to rest for the time being.

The servants and guards were all busy performing their duties.

In the master bedroom, Wei Tingyu did not rush to bed to rest. Instead, he casually leaned against the cushions in front of the screen, with various dishes and drinks on the coffee table in front of him.

After finishing their meal with the help of Dou Zhao and the other two women, Su Xin and Su Lan carefully took the bowls and plates away. At the same time, Miao Ansu poured Wei Tingyu a cup of warmed wine.

"Your Excellency must be tired after a long day! Get some rest!" Dou Zhao knelt behind Wei Tingyu and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Yes! Lord Marquis, don't overwork yourself!" Zhao Zhangru said, vigorously massaging Wei Tingyu's legs as she spoke up.

For her, massaging her husband's legs was a much easier task than serving him with delicate tasks like pouring wine and adding dishes.

However, Wei Tingyu, surrounded by the gentle embrace of three women, simply lay on his side with his eyes closed, not answering their questions.

Because at this moment he is waiting for someone, and according to the plot, this person is about to appear!

However, immediately afterward, a series of urgent knocks reached the ears of the four people who were enjoying themselves. Wei Tingyu's eyes snapped open, and then he slowly sat up straight.

As expected, I've been waiting for this moment... The real show is about to begin!

Chapter 51 Slaughtering the Manor? This guy's really good at putting on airs!

"Open the door! Open the door!" The people outside the manor pounded on the gate, making the maids and servants inside look at each other in fear.

Given the current situation, with heavy rain making the roads difficult to navigate, who could be knocking on the door of this secluded mountain village so late at night?

Could they be robbers or bandits?

Thinking of this, the young master and his maids turned pale with fear, not knowing what to do.

"Who is it? Why are you asking for lodging so late?" Miao Ansu was quite timid, and when she heard the exaggerated banging on the door and shouting outside, her face turned pale with fright.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Zhangru didn't care at all. She raised her fist and said, "With me, the heroine Zhao, here, which bandit or villain would dare to come? Watch me send them to the underworld with one punch!"

“My lord! What do you think…” Dou Zhao blinked, then looked at Wei Tingyu, who had already sat up, and asked, “Should we let them in?”

Dou Zhao was confident at this moment. Not to mention that there were eight Silver Shadow Guards in the manor, four men and four women, Zhao Zhangru and Su Xin and Su Lan's martial arts skills had improved significantly.

Of course, not to mention the unassuming Wei Tingyu, who is a force to be reckoned with in this world!

Dou Zhao was very confident about this!

However, as the first wife of the Marquis's mansion, she naturally had to put her husband first in everything. Therefore, although this was a villa under Dou Zhao's name, she still had to wait for Wei Tingyu's order.

"Of course!" Wei Tingyu nodded with a smile and said, "These people are knocking so loudly, if we don't open the door, they might break it! This is Madam's manor, I would be heartbroken if they damaged it!"

Dou Zhao chuckled softly after hearing Wei Tingyu's teasing, then winked at Su Xin and Su Lan.

After receiving the order, Su Xin and Su Lan turned around and went out. Then, surrounded by servants and maids, they opened the gate of the manor.

As the door creaked open, the people outside revealed their true forms!

The leader was a man in his fifties with a beard, and there were two men in black wearing straw hats and raincoats guarding him on either side!

However, when the three men stepped through the gate together, the people in the villa were surprised to find that the man in the lead was not the leader of the group.

Because right behind him was a young man wearing a black cloak! The brim of his hood was pulled low, and only his face below the nose could be seen in the dim light; he must have been a young man.

Behind him was a line of more than a dozen men in black, also dressed in straw hats and raincoats, who were clearly his guards!

"It's late at night, I'm sorry to bother you! My master's surname is Mei, and he's a merchant from the south!" The bearded man at the head of the group recognized Su Xin and Su Lan, who opened the door, just by their clothes. He knew they were the two high-ranking maids in the manor, so he smiled and said, "We're just passing through and hope to stay the night."

At the same time, the so-called master, who was wearing a black cloak, strode into the manor with several guards behind him.

Throughout the entire ordeal, this group remained completely silent, as if they were projecting an image of mystery and danger onto themselves.

……

However, at this moment, Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao, along with two other women, were standing by the side window of the main building, quietly watching everything that was happening in the courtyard.

"My lord, who are these people? Why are they putting on such a show?" Zhao Zhangru was immediately displeased with the group's attitude. They're just asking for lodging, why are they acting all mysterious? What's so special about them?

Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu were amused by Zhao Zhangru's sudden remark. After exchanging a glance, the two women simultaneously turned their gaze to Wei Tingyu, who was standing between them.

At the same time, the two women were also relieved that the Marquis was there. Otherwise, if they were alone, they would definitely be unsettled in this situation in the middle of the night, since the group's origins seemed suspicious.

"Lord! Madam! Concubines!" At this moment, Su Xin, who was outside, ran back and bowed to the four people inside the room. She frowned and said, "They said they are merchants from the south who came to seek shelter from the rain and spend the night here."

"The leader calls himself Young Master Mei!"

"But I noticed that everyone in this group had calluses on their hands and feet, and they moved silently..."

"So you're all trained fighters?" Zhao Zhangru's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Su Xin's words.

"Why do you look so happy?" Miao Ansu glanced at Zhao Zhangru in front of her, rolled her eyes helplessly, and complained, "It's never a good thing for a ghost to knock on the door at night! It might even cause some trouble!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in our manor? This heroine will tear him to pieces!" Zhao Zhangru laughed when she saw Miao Ansu's frightened look. She patted her plump little chest and said, "Besides, with this heroine and the Marquis here, the two young ladies don't need to worry!"

"You've been reading too many storybooks, haven't you?" Miao Ansu was even more exasperated. This girl had already gotten into role-playing so quickly? Did she really think she was some kind of chivalrous heroine?!
