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

At this moment, He Weifang's shock had gradually turned into anger!

So this is human nature! No wonder the Marquis said he didn't understand the Liu family! Now it seems the Marquis was right!

And it was all thanks to the Celestial Master! He blessed me so that I could meet the Marquis on the day I offered incense, and ultimately this marriage was made possible!

If not, would I already be dead because of the Liu family?!

That despicable Liu family! They killed my mother before, and now they want to harm me! All they want is this dowry and all that money…

"Your Excellency is right! I was too naive!" Having figured this out, He Weifang slowly closed her eyes, then shook her head and said, "Your Excellency, I'm tired! Let's go back and rest!"

“Okay!” Wei Tingyu nodded, then put his arm around He Weifang’s waist, supporting her body which looked like it might collapse at any moment, and turned to leave the boudoir that had confined her for a whole year.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen female Silver Shadow Guards rushed in from outside the courtyard. They carried away all of He Weifang's dowry from the house and followed them to Wei Tingyu's small courtyard next door!

Liu Shen glared fiercely at the backs of Wei Tingyu and He Weifang, secretly hardening his heart!

He even exchanged glances with Liu's mother and son.

I'm just waiting for tonight to pass so I can go to the yamen in the Eastern Capital early tomorrow morning to beat the drum and appeal for justice!

They'll just say that Wei Tingyu was entertained by the Liu family, but he seduced the Liu family's young mistress into having an affair, and at the same time, he assaulted someone!

Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, we must take this matter to the capital and get some real revenge on him!

However, the next second, Liu Shen suddenly felt a chill on his neck, followed by a dizzying sensation.

Then his head slammed heavily to the ground, and the last thing he saw was a headless body collapsing to the ground with a thud! And that was his own body!

"Ugh!" When Liu's mother saw her husband's head separated from his body in an instant, she was so frightened that she wanted to scream. However, before her dislocated jaw could make a sound, a sharp blade pierced through her chest from behind and came out of her heart!

She felt almost no pain before her consciousness drifted into a state of confusion...

Liu Chang, his face deathly pale, watched his parents die before his eyes. He wanted to beg for mercy, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of cold light and then he too was plunged into darkness...

……

"What's going on? What's going on? Has something big happened at the Liu family's house? Why are there so many government officials here so early in the morning?!"

"Didn't you know? The Liu family was robbed yesterday! They killed the head of the Liu family, his wife, and their son, and stole a lot of valuables!"

"Yes, yes! I heard those bandits were incredibly skilled! The scene was absolutely horrific!"

"Fortunately, they were skilled enough not to alert the other servants! So I heard that only three members of the Liu family and the steward died, while the other servants were unharmed!"

"After killing people and stealing valuables, the gang of thieves ran away through the backyard! By the time the Liu family discovered this and reported it to the authorities this morning, the city gates had already been open for half an hour, so they've probably already escaped the city!"

"So the main branch of the Liu family is all gone? What will happen to such a big courtyard in the future?"

"I heard that the young mistress of the Liu family is alright! It's so pitiful that she's a widow at such a young age!"

"How did this young mistress manage to escape the robbers?"

"The Marquis of Jining is still staying in the Liu family compound! It's said that the young mistress and the Marquis's wife have a very good relationship, and she was summoned by the Marquis's wife for a chat last night, which is why she escaped this ordeal! But it's quite pitiful..."

"What's there to pity? This young mistress divorced the Liu family's young master yesterday! Now that the entire Liu family has been killed, all their wealth and property have nothing to do with her anymore!"

"So, this young mistress was originally just going back to her own family home! The Liu family mansion is up for grabs by the collateral branches of the Liu family, and it really has nothing to do with her!"

...Early in the morning, the Liu family's house was surrounded by crowds of onlookers, and some people deliberately spread rumors, whether true or false, including Su Xin, Su Lan, and Yu Lu.

With the Golden Shadow Guards present, it wouldn't be difficult to cover up the scene as a robbery and murder! At this time, all the officials of Dongdu were gathered here, and no one raised any objection to the fact that it was a robbery and murder.

"Lord Chen! We will need you and your colleagues in Luoyang to take good care of the Liu family's descendants!" Wei Tingyu said, bowing to the leader of the group of officials.

"Rest assured, Lord Marquis of Jining! We will certainly handle this with great fanfare!" the officials replied one after another.

"The Liu family has suffered this great calamity; it is simply their fate!"

"Rest assured, Lord Marquis! We will never give up the investigation and will bring these bandits to justice as soon as possible to comfort Lord Liu's spirit in heaven!"

"Fortunately, the Marquis has so many highly skilled guards protecting him, otherwise these strongmen would have harmed him! This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!"

Seeing that the officials believed it, Wei Tingyu nodded in satisfaction.

The Golden Shadow Guards even deliberately left some clues to lead the murderer to the robbers, which further confirmed this claim!

"My safety is nothing!" Wei Tingyu nodded to the officials and said, "Fortunately, the county princess returned to the capital yesterday, otherwise, if she had been injured in this ordeal, that would have been..."

Upon hearing this, all the officials in Luoyang broke out in a cold sweat!

Yes! That's incredibly lucky!

If the county princess is really harmed, then when Prince Ning gets angry, all the officials in the Eastern Capital will be in deep trouble!

That's right! We absolutely cannot let this incident escalate any further! Let's quickly classify it as robbery and murder!

As for the murderer... isn't there some kind of bandit den on the outskirts of Dongdu? There have been a few cases of ambushing and killing lone passersby before, but it hasn't attracted much attention. Now it's just a convenient excuse to pin the blame on them!

Closing this case as soon as possible would be the best outcome for all officials in Dongdu!

……

"Father! Peony is back!" As night fell, He Weifang jumped off the carriage and excitedly banged on the door of her mother's house outside the He residence on the outskirts of Dongdu!

Yu Lu followed along excitedly, shouting for the host to open the door while knocking on the door with her mistress.

"Peony?!" As soon as the gate of the He residence opened, Mr. He came out to greet them with a look of surprise.

Upon seeing that it was indeed He Weifang standing in front of him, he smiled with emotion: "Why are you back? Your father was so worried about you!"

This morning, news of the Liu family being robbed and murdered by bandits reached the He residence. He Weifang's father wanted to go see his daughter, but learned that she had been taken to the yamen as a witness, so he could only stay at home and worry anxiously.

Seeing He Weifang return unharmed, he was naturally overjoyed.

He Weifang was also overjoyed, because today's so-called court hearing was just a formality. Under Wei Tingyu's arrangement, the Dongdu officialdom quickly determined the nature of the Liu residence's case!

At the same time, a certain number of troops were dispatched to wipe out the bandit den outside the Eastern Capital that had been troubling the area for more than ten years.

Although the bandits vehemently denied committing the massacre of the Liu family, the outcome was already sealed!

All the evidence points to them, and they have no way to deny it!

Moreover, these people have robbed and killed passersby many times over the years, and almost all of them have murder cases on their hands. Even if they are arrested and tortured now, they deserve to die!

……

"Good, good! It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back on May 5.2nd!" In the main hall of the He residence, after hearing his daughter briefly recount the events at the Liu residence, Mr. He no longer had any doubts and nodded repeatedly with a face full of relief.

In his view, the fact that his daughter He Weifang hadn't been implicated in the Liu family's terrible misfortune was already a stroke of good luck! Now that his daughter had returned with all her dowry, he was even more excited and planned to go and pay respects to the Three Pure Ones tomorrow to thank them for their protection!

"What's the use of coming back?" But then He Weifang's stepmother spoke up sarcastically, "Now she's still a widow! People will gossip about her behind her back, saying she brought death to her husband's whole family! What will she do in the future?"

"..." Upon hearing his wife's words, Mr. He's face immediately turned awkward! Because at that moment, he had also thought of this problem!

If such an unlucky daughter were to be brought home, who in the He family would dare to visit in the future?

Seeing his youngest son still nestled in his wife's arms, Mr. He hesitated even more!

If rumors circulate that there is a sister in the house who brings bad luck to her husband and the whole family, then which girl would be willing to marry into the family in the future?

"Miss is not a widow!" At this moment, Yu Lu couldn't hold back any longer and directly confronted the mistress: "Miss divorced Mr. Liu the day before! So the death of the entire Liu family has nothing to do with Miss!"

"Huh?" The He couple were both stunned when they heard the news, because they had no idea that their daughter had divorced her husband's family.

"Isn't that an even bigger loss? Now the whole courtyard belongs to someone else, and it has nothing to do with you!" He Weifang's stepmother curled her lip and said, "Now look what you've done! Before, with your husband's family all dead, you could at least have a courtyard! Now you're probably stuck at your parents' house, and they won't be able to get rid of you..."

Chapter 81 He Weifang's Wedding! The Reality of the He Family!

"You..." Yu Lu was furious when she heard this, and frowned, wanting to curse the mistress a few more times!

After all, in her eyes, the young lady is now someone the Marquis of Jining has taken a liking to, and frankly speaking, she no longer has any connection with your merchant family!

He's only back to visit his father now, and afterwards he'll be going to the capital with the Marquis to enjoy a life of luxury! Do you really think he's just eyeing your courtyard and your property?

It can only be said that the perspective of a frog at the bottom of a well is so narrow!

However, before Yu Lu could utter a curse, He Weifang waved her hand slightly, then turned to look at her father.

"Father! What do you think? Will I still have a place to stay in my parents' home from now on?" He Weifang felt indignant seeing her father doting on her stepmother and younger brother. Originally, she hadn't intended to gain anything from her parents' home; she had only come to see her father and say goodbye to the whole family.

But now she wanted to see just how much fatherly affection she actually had for her daughter.

“Peony! Your mother is right!” After hesitating for a moment, Father He finally said awkwardly, “Here’s what we’ll do! I’ll buy a courtyard elsewhere for you to live in. As long as there’s nothing urgent, you shouldn’t come back to the He residence…”

He Weifang burst out laughing upon hearing this! Of course, she was laughing out of anger!

As expected of a businessman who only cares about profit! He can even abandon his own daughter so easily! Now that he has a stepmother and a younger brother, he's even more superfluous!

Fortunately, there is always a man in this world who truly loves you!

"Master! Master!" At that moment, the steward suddenly tumbled into the main hall and shouted to Father He, "A huge group of people have arrived outside! They're making a lot of noise, and carrying a lot of betrothal gifts tied with red ribbons!"

"They say he's the Marquis of Jining from the capital! He's here to get married!"

"Could we have come to the wrong place? Where around here can we find a family that can be related to a marquis's mansion in the capital?" Father He was taken aback, then stood up, his brows furrowing.

There are indeed many large families in this area, but they are all merchants who do business.

They had married each other quite often, but this was the first time in Mr. He's decades of life that a wealthy and noble family had come to propose marriage!

“We didn’t go to the wrong place!” At this moment, He Weifang slowly raised her head, then turned to the steward and said, “Please open the middle gate and welcome the Marquis’s entourage in!”

"Peony, what's this...?" The He couple were stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief. 07
