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

"What's wrong?" Wei Tingyu felt the movement of the beauty in his arms and naturally opened his eyes, only to see a look of confusion in her eyes.

But amidst this confusion, there seemed to be a hint of determination, as if she had something very important in her heart that she couldn't keep quiet about!

“I’m thinking… it’s time to find two concubines for the Marquis!” Dou Zhao frowned, then took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and said.

"Huh?" Wei Tingyu was stunned. He knew that his arrival would add a lot of variables to this world, after all, everyone understands the butterfly effect.

But for Dou Zhao, the leading lady, to willingly take a concubine for him... this change seems a bit too fast, doesn't it?

"Are you pregnant?" Wei Tingyu asked subconsciously. After all, in this era, a wife would generally not take the initiative to find a concubine for her husband unless she was already pregnant.

"My lord! What are you saying?!" Dou Zhao became anxious upon hearing this!

Good heavens! I've only been married into the Marquis's household for less than three days. What if I get pregnant?

However, she wasn't worried, since Wei Tingyu had seen the clear bloodstains on their wedding night and couldn't possibly misunderstand her.

"Sorry, sorry!" Wei Tingyu chuckled at his own unexpected remark and continued, "But why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"It's all because of you, Lord Marquis..." Dou Zhao blushed when he heard Wei Tingyu ask him the reason. He even rolled his eyes in annoyance, wanting to complain, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Upon seeing Dou Zhao's appearance, Wei Tingyu immediately understood.

There's nothing I can do! Who told me to marry such a stunningly beautiful woman?!

You should know that in her previous life she was the material of a popular female star, and now she exudes the noble air and charm of a beauty from an ancient noble family!

What man could remain unmoved in such a situation? So for the past three days, he had been desperately seeking his desire from her!

With his own strength and martial arts skills, he naturally didn't feel anything, but poor Dou Zhao, a weak woman, endured his favor for three consecutive days.

It seems that this love is too heavy for this young woman to bear! That's why she thought of finding two concubines to share the burden!

It is said that in ancient times, there were only two situations in which a wife would voluntarily allow her husband to take a concubine...

One reason is that the man is too vigorous, so she has to find someone to share the burden!

Another scenario is that the man favors another woman, so she has to find someone else to share his affections in order to maintain her status as the legal wife.

It seems that Dou Zhao falls into the first category!

Chapter 10 The Marchioness Envied by All

“Taking a concubine is a common thing, but I’m not going to take just any ugly or deformed woman!” Wei Tingyu nodded and said, having figured this out.

"Of course! If she were truly an ugly duckling, I wouldn't have brought her into the Marquis's mansion to serve the Marquis!" Dou Zhao had now completely immersed herself in the role of the Marquis of Jining's principal wife.

Especially after managing the Marquis's residence for the past two days, she has become increasingly adept at it, to the point that she now speaks and acts in the manner of the Marquis's principal wife.

The same applies to taking a concubine!

"So, has someone been chosen for the position of madam?" Wei Tingyu blinked and asked, looking at Dou Zhao's serious expression in his arms.

"My husband and I are returning to my parents' home tomorrow, and my family is holding a banquet. I have already written letters inviting my cousin and friends to attend as well!" Dou Zhao blinked and looked at Wei Tingyu, saying, "Several of my uncle's students in the court and some other young masters from prominent families will also be attending tomorrow."

"I understand now. This family banquet was originally intended to introduce your sister to other young men from prominent families, right?" Wei Tingyu immediately recalled this part of the story.

Dou Zhao was originally one of the women he was supposed to meet through matchmaking, but this time he had already married her into the Marquis's mansion ahead of time and made her the Marquis's wife.

So going back this time is essentially helping to find a partner for one of the younger sisters in the family!

However, Dou Zhao clearly didn't have anything good planned this time either!

Is he trying to cause trouble? Or does he genuinely want to bring his cousin, friend, or even his own sister to the Marquis's mansion to be his concubine?

Or is this her way of getting revenge on her stepmother?

So it seems that the idea of ​​taking a concubine for himself was also part of this girl's scheme!

Well done! As expected of the leading lady, Dou Zhao! I just thought she would be so easy to humble herself, but I really underestimated her!

Regardless of the circumstances, Wei Tingyu was determined to join in the fun, whether or not he would take a concubine was another matter. With that thought in mind, Wei Tingyu nodded.

Seeing that Wei Tingyu had agreed, Dou Zhao sweetly kissed him on the cheek again, then closed her eyes and lay on his shoulder. The two of them embraced and drifted off to sleep.

……

On the evening of the second day, just as night fell, the carriage of the Marquis of Jining arrived at the main gate of the Dou family.

The scene before him stunned Dou Zhao!

At this time, the Dou family's gate was bustling with activity, with young gentlemen and daughters of officials led by their elders coming and going in an endless stream.

This scene... was something she had never expected at all!

I originally thought it was just an ordinary family banquet, with at most a few sons and daughters of officials who were on good terms with Fifth Uncle attending. How could there be so many people?

"My lord! Something seems amiss!" Dou Zhao blinked, then turned to Wei Tingyu sitting next to him and said, "My fifth uncle is just a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue; we've never had so many guests at our home before!"

"Things change!" Wei Tingyu opened his eyes, which had been closed to rest, glanced at the scene, and then closed them again, saying, "After all, you and I were going to come!"

Wei Tingyu was initially surprised by the scene, but he quickly figured it out.

In the original storyline, there weren't many people at the family banquet, since it was just a matchmaking event held at the home of an ordinary official.

But things are different now! Now that Dou Zhao has married me, she is a proper Marquis's wife!

Especially since her younger sister, Dou Ming, was also among the women they were considering meeting!

Therefore, it goes without saying how many sons of officials came to participate with the hope of forming a brother-in-law relationship with the Marquis of Jining.

With the arrival of many young gentlemen, the unmarried daughters of officials, who were about to get married, naturally did not miss this opportunity to show themselves off.

As soon as Wei Tingyu finished speaking, Dou Zhao immediately understood and nodded thoughtfully.

As the carriage from the Marquis of Jining's residence slowly approached, the previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and those who had been greeting each other and flattering each other all turned to look in this direction.

Seeing this scene, Dou Zhao understood perfectly well that she and her husband were indeed the main characters in this grand drama today!

Wei Tingyu was the first to lift the curtain and step out of the carriage, followed closely by Dou Zhao.

The appearance of these two immediately caused a slight stir among the previously quiet crowd.

"This is Miss Dou? I heard she's a merchant, but she doesn't seem to have any money-grubbing about her?"

"Yes! Look at her elegant and luxurious appearance, she's clearly a noblewoman from a prominent family!"

"Tch! It's all because she's lucky enough to be the Lady of Jining! If I were sitting in this carriage wearing this expensive dress, I wouldn't look any worse than her!"

"What a pity! Who knew that the Marquis of Jining was also someone who didn't care about social status or background? If I had known this earlier, I would have asked my father to propose marriage to him first!"

"That's fate! Let's see if there are any other talented young men here today that we find pleasing to the eye."

...The whispers of the young ladies from the surrounding official families naturally reached the ears of Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao. They exchanged a smile, but felt somewhat speechless.

Wei Tingyu was the first to jump off the carriage and then reached out his hand to Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao was taken aback, then smiled sweetly, handed her soft hand to Wei Tingyu, and then helped him down slowly with an air of elegance and nobility.

This scene sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

"Good heavens! Does the Marquis of Jining dote on his wife like this?"

"Waaaaah, why can't I meet a man like that?"

"I wonder if the Marquis of Jining is interested in taking a concubine! If he is, I might consider it!"

"I think you'd better stop dreaming! Look at the Marquis's appearance and demeanor, and then look at yourself. You don't actually think you can compete with her for the Marquis's favor, do you?"

"Can't I even dream about it?"

...Amidst the onlookers' gazes and discussions, Wei Tingyu did not let go of Dou Zhao's hand, but instead led her towards the gate of the Dou residence.

"Dou Zhao!" Just as the two were about to enter the mansion, two clear and melodious female voices rang out behind them.

Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao stopped and turned around at the same time, only to find that they were two bright girls who were about the same age as Dou Zhao!

At this moment, they also held hands and, lifting their skirts, jogged forward to meet us!

Chapter 11 Young Woman and Girl

"An Su! Zhang Ru!" Dou Zhao was overjoyed to see the person who came, and was even so excited that he wanted to let go of Wei Tingyu's hand to greet him.

However, she had only taken two steps when Wei Tingyu grabbed her, and only then did she realize that she and her husband were holding hands.

Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru naturally witnessed this scene as well, and the two women chuckled simultaneously, even exchanging a glance. After all, having known Dou Zhao since childhood, the two had never seen her so shy and adorable.

“These two must be Miss Miao and Miss Zhao!” Wei Tingyu only let go of Dou Zhao’s hand when the two women ran up to him, and then cupped his hands in greeting to them.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" The two women were naturally well-versed in etiquette. When they saw that Wei Tingyu had taken the initiative to greet them, they were immediately flattered and stopped in their tracks to bow to Wei Tingyu together.

"How did you come to know my two friends, Lord Marquis?" Dou Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look.

“Since I’m going to marry you, I naturally need to understand you, so I already knew you had two very good girlfriends before I proposed. Now that I see the two girls so happy to see you, they must be the ones!” Wei Tingyu explained casually, but the logic behind it was flawless.

"So that's how it is!" Dou Zhao nodded upon hearing this, and then her face turned even redder.

After all, this shows that Wei Tingyu really paid close attention to her and carefully investigated her before marriage.

Strictly speaking, he's a very dedicated person!
