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

"Later I heard that it was Liu's son who happened to arrive there and helped his son pull his father out!" Miao Ansu blinked and told the gossip she had heard: "It is said that when the man was pulled out, he was almost dead, and water was gurgling out of his throat!"

Chapter 73 He Weifang's Counterattack! The Liu Family Will Pay Back Everything They Owe!

"Is the security in this Eastern Capital really that bad?" Zhao Zhangru frowned upon hearing this and asked, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how can one encounter criminals robbing one's belongings on the street?"

Clearly, although she wasn't very bright, she still managed to grasp the key point.

"This reason is just what the Liu family said, how credible is it?" However, Dou Zhao seemed to have seen through the essence of things, and turned to He Weifang and Wei Tingyu with an air of composure, asking, "Didn't Sister He go to see the shops that were part of her dowry this morning? The Marquis went with her too. Did you run into Liu Shen?"

"Ah! It's Lord Hou and Sister He..." Zhao Zhangru and Miao Ansu suddenly realized after seeing Dou Zhao's expression.

Good heavens! Why didn't I think of that before?

So it turns out that Liu Shen's misfortune was caused by the Marquis and Sister He. Well done!

As expected of the female lead, among the women in this courtyard, only Dou Zhao and He Weifang are currently intelligent enough!

Wei Tingyu sighed inwardly, and at the same time couldn't help but reach out and gently lift Dou Zhao's chin.

"My lord! It's time for your meal!" Dou Zhao was most afraid of Wei Tingyu's trick. Every time Wei Tingyu hooked his chin with his finger and the two of them looked at each other, he couldn't help but blush and feel shy.

Now, especially in front of her three sisters, Dou Zhao blushed slightly.

"Sister He, please tell us what exactly happened?" Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru didn't have time to care about Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao's sweet talk at this moment, and instead quickly looked at He Weifang and asked her.

After all, gossiping is a universal human trait! Especially for women!

Moreover, the subject of the gossip is Liu Shen, whom everyone dislikes, which makes it even more newsworthy!

"Don't rush!" He Weifang smiled and nodded upon hearing this, and then recounted everything that had happened that morning.

As He Weifang narrated, the expressions of Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru changed repeatedly.

Dou Zhao, too, couldn't care less about her sweet talk with Wei Tingyu at this moment, and her big, adorable eyes were fixed on He Weifang's face.

When they heard that Liu Shen had actually disregarded all decorum and insisted on intercepting He Weifang on the bridge, the three women all showed expressions of disdain.

After all, such blatant theft of a bride's dowry is something no one with a shred of shame or conscience would do.

When they heard that Liu Shen had actually taken matters into his own hands to arrest He Weifang, forcing her to fall off the bridge and almost into the river, the three women were filled with fear and lingering dread.

Only then did they realize how dangerous the situation had been; it wasn't that annoying Liu Shen who almost fell, but their own best friend.

When they heard that Wei Tingyu had rescued He Weifang from mid-air above the water like a divine general, the three women couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation of envy.

At the same time, three pairs of affectionate eyes were also fixed on Wei Tingyu.

After all, they would definitely be envious of this kind of thing!

Of course, they were also relieved. As expected, the Marquis did not disappoint the sisters. He was reliable in the crucial moment!

After learning that Liu Shen's fall into the river was also orchestrated by Wei Tingyu, the three women couldn't help but burst into laughter, especially Zhao Zhangru!

"My lord! Please teach me this skill of striking acupoints from a distance! I can use it to punish these villains in the future!" Zhao Zhangru was extremely envious of Wei Tingyu's martial arts and methods, and pulled Wei Tingyu to ask him to teach her the ultimate skill of striking acupoints from a distance.

Wei Tingyu, unable to resist his persistent pestering, had no choice but to nod in agreement.

However, Zhao Zhangru's martial arts skills are still relatively weak, and he cannot master such profound martial arts!

Zhao Zhangru was aware of this, so he was satisfied after receiving Wei Tingyu's verbal agreement.

"Did you get your shop back, Sister He?" Miao Ansu was more concerned about whether He Weifang had achieved her goal on this trip.

"We got it back!" He Weifang's face lit up with excitement as she said this.

It goes without saying that her process of getting the shop back was incredibly smooth.

When Qi and Yulu arrived, the steward and accountant had just finished negotiating with the buyer and were about to sign the papers when they were interrupted by Qi.

The steward and accountant were initially quite arrogant, saying that it was the master's order and they had no choice but to obey.

He Weifang, however, was too lazy to pay attention to the two people. She simply explained to the buyer that this was her dowry shop, and her husband's family had no right to sell it! If you want to go to court, then sign here. We'll have a good talk in court later. Who knows, you might not only lose the shop but also your money!

Of course, the most important thing is that it will cause a lot of trouble, which is the last thing a businessperson wants to see.

Although the steward and accountant were surprised that He Weifang had become so decisive and even tough, they dared not do anything to the young mistress of the Liu family, given their social status.

So all they could do was watch helplessly as the buyer they had previously agreed to meet with quickly ran away with the money box.

He Weifang naturally took back the contracts for the two shops.

"That's good! That's good!" Hearing that He Weifang had finally gotten back her dowry shop, Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru were genuinely happy for her.

"It's not just these two shops!" At this moment, Dou Zhao looked at He Weifang and nodded to her, saying, "Sister, you still need to prepare early and bring back all your dowry!"

"Of course!" He Weifang nodded emphatically upon hearing this, "I won't leave a single penny of my things to this disgusting Liu family!"

"Alright! Let's wish Sister He a speedy recovery from her suffering!"

"Then I wish Sister He a speedy and proper marriage into our Marquis's mansion!"

Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru surprisingly raised their glasses at the same time to congratulate He Weifang.

"Thank you, sisters!" He Weifang was truly moved, and Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao also raised their glasses.

After the five glasses clinked lightly, the five people simultaneously drank their drinks in one gulp.

This feeling of exhilaration is almost indescribable!

He Weifang also realized for the first time that living could be so joyful!

……

On the morning of the second day, Liu Shen was still suffering from a severe cold from falling into the water and remained bedridden. Meanwhile, Liu's mother and son, Liu Chang, received some surprising news.

Accompanied by the steward and servants, the mother and son hurried to the Liu family's storeroom, forgetting their usual facade of elegance and sophistication.

Judging from their posture, the two of them probably wish they had wings on their shoulders so they could get to the warehouse faster!

Meanwhile, in the storeroom, He Weifang sat upright at a table, her right hand rapidly tapping on a jade abacus.

Yu Lu stood straight behind her, watching her young mistress calculate the accounts with such ease and enjoyment.

With a loud bang, the main door of the warehouse was opened from the outside, and then the butler pushed the door open and stood aside with an angry expression.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chang and her son walked in, both of them looking extremely angry!

After Liu's mother came in, she first looked around and found that many of He Weifang's dowry boxes had been opened.

Seeing the daughter-in-law's earnest expression as she tapped away on the abacus, I suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Peony! What are you doing?" However, with years of acting experience, Liu's mother immediately adjusted her mindset and looked at He Weifang, saying, "We're all family, why are you acting like we're dividing the family property?"

"In just one year, I was deceived and cheated, and my dowry was reduced by more than half!" However, He Weifang didn't even raise her head, and continued to answer while tapping the abacus: "Is this what you call a family?"

Liu Chang was taken aback upon hearing this, and then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

He naturally knew some of the inside story about his parents stealing He Weifang's dowry, but he always pretended to be aloof and didn't care.

Now that He Weifang has so bluntly exposed him, he immediately lost face.

"Peony, have you misunderstood?" Before Liu Chang could speak, Liu's mother laughed again, and her tone towards He Weifang became much gentler.

"With the county princess and the marquis's presence, many of the gold and jade ornaments, antiques and paintings in your dowry are only temporarily placed in their room; they will be put into their storeroom sooner or later!"

"Everything should be about the Liu family's well-being! Why be so calculating?"

Just like before, Liu's mother blurted out a set of brainwashing rhetoric to He Weifang without even thinking.

"Yes, young mistress!" the butler quickly interjected, "You can't exactly go and snatch things from those noble people, can you?"

He laughed! Upon hearing their seemingly pre-arranged answer, He Weifang sneered inwardly.

Putting everything else aside, I've already spent two nights in the residence where Marquis Wei Tingyu is currently staying, and the furnishings there don't include the dowry I brought with me.

As for the Princess of Ji'an, it was the same; she simply didn't like these gold and jade items!

Previously, the gold and jade ruyi that Liu's mother had placed in the county magistrate's room without her consent was rejected by the other party!

These empty or missing dowry boxes are simply because the Liu family has kept them for themselves! And now they're using two important people as an excuse!

Thinking of this, He Weifang angrily stretched out her palm and slammed it on the table with a bang.

"Why can't I complain?!" Enraged, He Weifang had completely broken ties with the Liu family and loudly questioned Liu's mother, "This is mine to begin with, why can't I complain?"

The reason He Weifang was so angry was that Liu's mother and Liu Chang still thought that the name "Liu Residence" could easily control her.

If Wei Tingyu hadn't appeared in time to save him during yesterday's argument on the bridge, he would probably be a cold corpse by now!

And at a time like this, Liu's mother and Liu Chang actually expect me to consider the Liu family's future? Are these two shameless, or just plain stupid?!

After He Weifang roared, her imposing aura completely stunned the shameless Liu Chang and his mother! The two stared dumbfounded at the woman in front of them, looking as if they didn't recognize her at all.

Of course, this is exactly the result He Weifang wanted most at this moment!

If I can't intimidate you, then what was the point of slamming my fist on the table? What was the point of getting angry?

Thinking this through, He Weifang calmed herself down and continued working on her abacus. At the same time, she slowly said, "The two distinguished guests are only staying at the Liu residence temporarily. No matter how high their status is, they should not take away what others love!"

"You can try to curry favor with others, go ahead!"

"But I will not let others manipulate me!"

At this point, He Weifang's tone suddenly paused, and then she silently added a complaint in her mind: Except for Wei Tingyu!
