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

The two of them just divided the money so clearly, and now they want the other to give them a little more out of consideration for their marriage... They just can't bring themselves to say it!

"You don't want to? Then I'll have to find someone else! I just don't know if there's any other businessperson in the city who's willing to cooperate with me?" Wei Tingyu laughed when he saw Dou Zhao's aggrieved and helpless look, and even reached out and gently stroked her upturned nose.

"Yes, yes! One percent profit it is! I'll help Lord Marquis sell this perfume!" However, when Dou Zhao heard that Wei Tingyu actually wanted to find someone else to cooperate with, he became even more anxious and quickly shouted.

Just kidding! No merchant who has seen the perfume in person would pass up the opportunity to work with Wei Tingyu, and I am no exception.

A 10% profit may seem like a small amount, but when you actually calculate it, it's quite different!

A single bottle of perfume can earn five taels! If you sell a hundred bottles a day, that's five hundred taels! That's fifteen thousand taels a month!

Although he owns many businesses, none of them can compare to his perfume business.

It's no use regretting what you just did; focusing on the present is the most important thing!

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao got out of bed, wrapped himself in a blanket, ran to the table, and actually wrote two contracts in a very professional manner, then signed and stamped them before handing them to Wei Tingyu.

Seeing how formal and serious the young woman looked, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he signed and sealed the document, thus finalizing the deal on the first day of their marriage!

Chapter 8: Dou Zhao Wants to Establish His Authority in the Marquis's Residence!

“My lord! I just thought about it. This perfume costs 50 taels a bottle. If it were sold directly in a shop, I’m afraid no one would buy it!” Dou Zhao said, looking up at her husband as she fastened Wei Tingyu’s belt.

The two had already gotten up, and the door to the bridal chamber was wide open. The maids and servants responsible for cleaning and washing were also busy running around.

Wei Tingyu, on the other hand, stood there nonchalantly, enjoying the extravagant and decadent life of aristocracy where everything was done for him.

Upon hearing Dou Zhao say these words, he slowly opened his slightly closed eyes and met the gaze of the beautiful woman before him.

"So what do you want to do?" In terms of business, Wei Tingyu's experience was indeed not as good as Dou Zhao's, so he looked at the other party and asked with a smile.

"I think there's no rush! In a couple of days, my husband and I will go back to my parents' home together. We can give a few bottles to our relatives so they can use them! This way, we can first establish the brand of the perfume, and then we can start selling it..." Dou Zhao thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Good!" Wei Tingyu nodded immediately upon hearing this. This method was indeed quite good! After all, the Dou family was also an official family. Once the Dou family members started using perfume, it would quickly become popular among the daughters of officials in the capital.

"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Marquis!" Dou Zhao didn't expect Wei Tingyu to agree so readily. After all, even if the perfume was delayed for a day, it would mean missing out on thousands of taels of profit.

Dou Zhao was genuinely flattered by Wei Tingyu's current easy-going nature.

"Why are we, husband and wife, saying such polite things?" Wei Tingyu gently patted Dou Zhao's buttocks, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

This scene immediately caused the surrounding servants to chuckle, as they hadn't expected the Marquis and his new wife to have such a good relationship.

Su Lan and Su Xin quickly pretended to turn around and tidy up the still messy bed for the two of them.

"My lord!" Dou Zhao was shocked that Wei Tingyu would "take liberties" with her in front of so many servants. Her face turned red instantly, and she quickly cried out in a coquettish voice.

"Today I'm going to the Duke of Jing's residence to thank my sister and brother-in-law, after all, they were the ones who arranged the marriage for me!" Wei Tingyu looked at Dou Zhao, who had a coquettish expression on her face, and said with a smile, "I'll entrust the affairs of the Marquis of Jining's residence to my wife!"

"Yes!" Dou Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had brought up a more serious matter. If he really acted like a rogue and wanted to be intimate with her here, that would be incredibly embarrassing!

Fortunately, Wei Tingyu may seem dissolute, but he is not entirely without a sense of propriety.

"Then I'll be going..." Wei Tingyu looked at Dou Zhao's face, which had just been raised after bowing, blinked, and said.

"Let's go! Who's stopping you from leaving?" Dou Zhao looked completely bewildered, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

But she realized what was happening the next second. Wei Tingyu's hand was still on her waist, and his fingers even patted her waist lightly twice.

The two movements were very subtle, only the fingers were moving, and would be invisible to those around unless they were paying close attention. But Dou Zhao sensed it very clearly, and in an instant, she understood Wei Tingyu's meaning!

"My lord! There are so many people here!" Dou Zhao was both ashamed and anxious, only wanting Wei Tingyu to leave for the Duke of Jing's mansion as soon as possible and stop tormenting her here!

But seeing the other party's shameless appearance, she could only sigh helplessly, then suppress her shyness, tiptoe and brought her red lips to his cheek.

Because Wei Tingyu's meaning was very clear: he definitely wouldn't leave without some benefit!

However, just as Dou Zhao's red lips were about to kiss Wei Tingyu's cheek, the guy suddenly turned his face, and their lips touched.

"Ah!" Dou Zhao was startled. Although it was just a brief kiss and there was no deep exchange, she still felt her face burning up in front of so many maids and servants.

"I'm leaving!" Wei Tingyu quickly turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight!

Only Dou Zhao, her face flushed, was left standing in the room amidst a group of maids and servants, completely bewildered!

"I thought he had changed for the better, but it turns out he's still a bad guy!" Dou Zhao, her face flushed, clenched her little fists and then complained through gritted teeth.

However, despite saying that, an indescribable sweetness welled up in her heart, which made Dou Zhao herself a little at a loss.

"Miss... what should we do?" Just as Dou Zhao was feeling embarrassed and thinking about how to teach Wei Tingyu a good lesson tonight, Su Lan's voice rang out behind him again.

He turned around and found that Su Lan and Su Xin were holding the bed sheet and staring at him blankly, with a trace of red plum blossoms left by him last night on the bed sheet!

"Ah!" Dou Zhao was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl into a hole!

Without saying a word, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the bed sheet into her arms.

"I'll take care of this myself, you don't need to worry about it!" Dou Zhao took a few deep breaths, then instructed Su Xin and Su Lan, "Go and call all the maids and servants in the backyard, I have something to say to them!"

"Yes!" Su Lan Su Xin nodded quickly upon hearing this, and then hurried away.

……

In the front hall corridor, Dou Zhao sat in the central seat, his sharp eyes looking at the maids and servants standing below.

At this moment, she was wearing an expensive and gorgeous dress, and her hair was styled in a high bun!

Although this face is young and beautiful, it possesses an undeniable noble air!

Su Xin and Su Lan stood obediently on either side of her, while nine valiant female Silver Shadow Guards stood in a row behind her.

Dou Zhao knew in her heart that as a merchant's daughter of humble origins, with her fifth uncle, the highest-ranking official in her family, only holding the position of a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue, many people in the Marquis's mansion would surely consider her a high-status woman who had married into the family, and would inevitably look down on her!

This is also why she summoned everyone here. Since she has made up her mind to manage the Marquis's mansion well, she naturally has to show the demeanor of a matriarch.

To Dou Zhao's surprise, the maids and servants below were all meek and obedient, showing no arrogance whatsoever. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him.

Why didn't the expected scene of the wicked servant bullying his master happen? That shouldn't be the case. This made Dou Zhao feel a little doubtful again.

In this way, she couldn't even use the stern warning she had prepared! After all, without any troublemakers causing trouble, how could she make an example of someone?

Chapter 9: My Leading Lady Wife Wants to Take a Concubine for Me?

“Mama Xu! You’re an old servant in this mansion, and you’ve watched the Marquis grow up!” Dou Zhao’s eyes darted around, and he glanced at Mama Xu, who was standing in the middle of the first row.

She clearly remembered that this woman absolutely looked down on her. Because last night, when she entered the mansion, she personally witnessed this woman secretly rolling her eyes at her!

Let's start with her!

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao continued, "You know the affairs of the Marquis of Jining's residence best. If I make any mistakes in the future..."

"Madam, what are you saying?" However, the moment Dou Zhao called her name, Xu Mama suddenly shivered, then quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "You are the esteemed Madam of the Marquis's Mansion! The rightful eldest daughter-in-law! How could you be wrong? If there is any mistake, it is all our fault!"

"Yes, yes! Madam, please feel free to tell us what you need, and we will do our best to help!"

"We old women are no good, we can only do our best to assist Madam in managing this backyard!"

"A matriarch as beautiful and intelligent as you is certainly the right person to manage the household! We will simply follow your instructions!"

...As soon as Madam Xu finished speaking, the other old servants with some status nodded in agreement, praising Dou Zhao as a rare fairy descended from heaven.

This scene left not only Dou Zhao dumbfounded, but also Su Lan and Su Xin.

What's going on? The two women were prepared to slap the wicked servant who dared to contradict Dou Zhao, but they're both so obedient and well-behaved.

"Madam, please allow me to report!" Seeing Dou Zhao's puzzled expression, Xu Mama carefully stepped forward and solemnly bowed again, saying, "We all see how much the Marquis loves Madam! Our hearts are as clear as a mirror, who would dare to offend Madam's dignity!"

So that's how it is! Dou Zhao suddenly realized what was going on!

No wonder Wei Tingyu insisted on being all lovey-dovey with me in front of so many servants and maids this morning!

On the surface, it seems like they are taking advantage of themselves, but in the eyes of these maids and servants, this scene is naturally a different story.

Needless to say, they were so intimate on their wedding night, but to do the same thing in front of the servants the next day? What does that say?

This only proves one thing: Wei Tingyu, the master of the Jining Marquis's mansion, dotes on his new wife to an extreme degree! He doesn't even want to be apart from her for a moment!

Regardless of Dou Zhao's background or the rank of her elders in the court, as long as she gains the Marquis's favor in the Jining Marquis's mansion, she is undoubtedly the mistress of the house!

Which ignorant servant would dare to act arrogantly in front of her? Not to mention any wicked servants bullying their master!

They didn't even need to whisper in the Marquis's ear; they could just deal with him on the spot, cripple him, and sell him off. The Marquis probably wouldn't be the slightest bit dissatisfied if he found out.

"So what the Marquis did just now was to make me more respected in the manor! I really was thinking of him with a petty mind..." Thinking of this, Dou Zhao's face turned slightly red again, and at the same time, he felt a little guilty.

Her ex-husband now seemed completely different from the cowardly, bookish scumbag who only knew how to play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting and who cheated on his wife in her previous life.

In that case, is it still necessary for me to stick to that three-year plan for divorce?

I doubt you could find another man like him anywhere else in the world!

……

The next two days flew by!

Before they knew it, it was the eve of Dou Zhao's return visit to her parents' home on the third day after her marriage.

Having just weathered another storm, Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao lay together in each other's arms, closing their eyes to enjoy this moment of peace.

"My Lord!" After a while, Dou Zhao, who had finally caught his breath, suddenly opened his big, cute eyes and looked up at Wei Tingyu beside him with a serious expression.
