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

"My son-in-law is truly remarkable! I doubt there are many others in the entire capital who possess such skills!"

"This old woman underestimated her son-in-law!"

Hearing Old Mrs. Cui's slightly sarcastic words, Wei Tingyu could only shrink back.

After all, He Weifang was a secondary wife. Compared to Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, she was the only one who could truly threaten Dou Zhao's position as the principal wife!

Furthermore, since Old Mrs. Cui didn't know He Weifang before and had no feelings for her at all, she was naturally very wary of this woman who had suddenly appeared next to her son-in-law.

"Granddaughter He! Greetings to Grandmother!" However, He Weifang smiled faintly, slowly stepped forward, and solemnly bowed to Old Madam Cui.

After all, she could tell that Old Mrs. Cui was clearly the kind of person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

Compared to the smiling tigers of the Liu family, He Weifang undoubtedly preferred this old lady who couldn't keep things to herself and liked to speak her mind!

Chapter 82 Returning to the Capital with Four Beauties! Wang Yingxue's Plan!

"Granddaughter? Grandmother?" Old Mrs. Cui was taken aback, then looked at Dou Zhao beside her, thinking to herself that she was not so senile that she would forget who her granddaughter was.

“Grandmother!” Dou Zhao stepped forward and took Old Madam Cui’s hand, saying, “We’ve been telling Sister He about Grandmother all the way here! Sister He was very touched! Because you reminded her of her own grandmother!”

"Besides, since Sister He has become one of our own sisters, it's only right that she joins us in showing filial piety to our grandmother!"

"Yes, yes! It's only right, it's only right!" Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru nodded in agreement. They had already started calling Old Madam Cui "Grandma"!

"I don't know what kind of magic potion your son-in-law gave you, that you would help him with something like this!" Old Mrs. Cui laughed helplessly upon hearing this, then reached out and flicked Dou Zhao's little nose, saying, "I almost don't recognize you anymore!"

"Why don't you recognize me?" Dou Zhao blinked her adorable big eyes, then leaned her face against Grandma Cui's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Could it be that your granddaughter has grown even more beautiful these past few days, so Grandmother doesn't dare to recognize you?"

"Oh my! This little girl!" Old Mrs. Cui liked Dou Zhao very much, and now that she saw that the three of them had accepted He Weifang, she didn't say anything more.

Moreover, He Weifang was behaving appropriately and gracefully at this moment, and in fact, Old Mrs. Cui was quite satisfied with this woman.

Of course! As long as she doesn't threaten his granddaughter Dou Zhao's position as the legal wife, everything will be fine!

……

"Hmm...My lord...Don't leave Yingxue..." At this moment, in Wang Yingxue's bedroom in the Dou residence, she was taking a nap and muttered to herself.

"Mother is really something! Her daughter is so grown up and she's still so clingy to her father!" Dou Ming, who had originally come to wake Wang Yingxue up, happened to hear her muttering to herself and immediately blushed and muttered a complaint in a low voice!

"Don't go..." However, as soon as Dou Ming finished speaking, Wang Yingxue suddenly shouted and then sat up in shock from her sleep.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, her muddled mind slowly cleared, and she remembered that she was taking a nap in her room.

A sense of melancholy welled up in her heart!

Ever since that jade-faced fox-like young man appeared in her life that night and then disappeared without a trace, Wang Yingxue has been constantly thinking about him!

Although she knew that as a married woman, and with her daughter now of marriageable age, she shouldn't have such improper thoughts.

However, matters of the heart are not subject to one's will! Especially for Wang Yingxue, who is only in her thirties, a time when she is full of youthful vigor!

After experiencing the gentleness and bravery of that handsome fox-faced gentleman, how could one not be unable to forget him?

Moreover, she now regretted sending the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman to carry out the plan to seduce Dou Zhao.

She was afraid that once this handsome fox-faced young man and Dou Zhao really got together, he would ignore her again, and she would really cry her heart out!

At the moment, she had no choice but to be anxious, because she had no idea who this Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman was!

"Mother!" At this moment, Dou Ming saw that Wang Yingxue's face had turned slightly red, so he smiled and came over, then hugged his mother from behind.

"Ah!" Wang Yingxue was still thinking about her little lover when her daughter suddenly grabbed her from behind and hugged her, startling her!

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after turning around and finding it was his daughter!

That was close! I thought I had given myself away!

If it's a daughter, then there's no problem. After all, she doesn't understand matters between men and women yet, and she certainly doesn't know that she was thinking about men in her sleep!

"Mother! Are you and Father so close? You even dream of him not leaving you!" However, Dou Ming, not one to mince words, hugged Wang Yingxue and asked with a smile, "But Mother, don't worry, Father will definitely not leave you!"

Bah! Who cares about that heartless old man, Dou Laoqi?

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Wang Yingxue inwardly cursed! However, she couldn't say this directly to Dou Ming, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "What do you know, you little girl? Do you even know what it means to want a man?"

Dou Ming blushed upon hearing his mother's words, wondering why he hadn't known about thinking about men.

These past few days, she's been thinking about her brother-in-law, Wei Tingyu, all the time! Especially when she closes her eyes to sleep, Wei Tingyu's image appears beside her.

Of course, being inexperienced in such matters, she didn't know what intimate contact between men and women was like. So, the Wei Tingyu that Dou Ming dreamed of was nothing more than playing the zither, composing poems, and painting eyebrows with him.

However, this alone was enough to make Dou Ming feel extremely happy!

"What...you...have someone you like?" Dou Ming's little thoughts and expressions certainly didn't escape Wang Yingxue's notice, who was experienced enough. She knew something was up the moment she saw her daughter's expression.

"Mother!" Dou Ming shrank back and said, "Don't laugh at me when I tell you! And don't tell Father either!"

"Okay!" Wang Yingxue nodded quickly upon hearing this, as finding out what her daughter was thinking was the most important thing right now.

"Actually, after I met my brother-in-law last time... I... can't forget him!" Dou Ming pursed her lips. She knew it was hard to talk about, but right now she couldn't find anyone else to confide in besides her mother.

"But I know that's wrong! So I didn't even dare to dream of taking it from my sister!"

"I'll be content if I can still see him often in the future!"

Upon hearing Dou Ming's words, Wang Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise.

Just as she had suspected, her daughter Dou Ming had indeed fallen in love with Wei Tingyu! Of course, she also hoped that her daughter could marry Wei Tingyu!

However, her status as a bride absolutely could not be low! Therefore, she painstakingly tried to bring down Dou Zhao and elevate her daughter Dou Ming to the position of the principal wife of the Marquis of Jining.

But then she heard her daughter say that she didn't want to compete with Dou Zhao for anything, and would be satisfied if she could only see Wei Tingyu occasionally?! This left Wang Yingxue speechless once again!

Why is my daughter such a gentle and unassuming person?

How could someone like that possibly become the eldest daughter-in-law of a marquis's mansion?

No! I need to teach my daughter a proper lesson from now on!

This weak personality must be corrected; one must take the initiative to strive for things!

While Wang Yingxue was thinking to herself, her eyes started darting around.

"Mother! You're not angry, are you?" Dou Ming felt a little flustered when he saw that Wang Yingxue hadn't spoken for a long time and just looked deep in thought.

"No! How could Mother be angry? I will definitely support Ming'er's own ideas!" Wang Yingxue quickly shook her head after hearing her daughter's words and said, "But you are indeed at the age to be considering marriage! Even if Mother knows you have someone in your heart and won't force you, what about your father and Fifth Uncle..."

"Mother! Please save me!" Dou Ming was terrified when he heard Wang Yingxue's words!

She might not have cared before, but now that she has someone she loves, how could she tolerate any other man besides Wei Tingyu?

So she quickly shook Wang Yingxue's arm, her voice trembling with tears, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"There is a way! It just depends on whether you can bear this injustice tomorrow!" Wang Yingxue knew that her kitten-like daughter had fallen into the trap, so she quickly spoke up.

"I can endure any hardship! As long as Mother doesn't make me marry another man!" Dou Ming quickly declared, she truly couldn't imagine such a situation! To be married by any man other than Wei Tingyu, she'd rather kill him!

“Since you like the Marquis of Jining… then go to his residence!” Wang Yingxue said, her eyes darting around. “Right now, you can even be a concubine! That way, your father and fifth uncle won’t be able to force you to marry someone else!”

"Become a concubine?" Dou Ming was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She had thought about this before, but she knew that her father and fifth uncle would never allow her to become a concubine!

Even the Marquis of Jining was the same!

"Don't worry about your father and fifth uncle!" Wang Yingxue said quickly when she saw that her daughter seemed to be tempted.

Her current plan is to first get her daughter into the Marquis's mansion. After all, she's a proper official's daughter, and there's a chance she'll be able to get rid of Dou Zhao in the future. Then she can help her daughter take the position!

"Good!" Dou Ming nodded repeatedly upon hearing that his mother was willing to help him marry into the Marquis's family!

In her view, as long as she could stay by Wei Tingyu's side, she wouldn't mind being a concubine for life! She wouldn't feel wronged at all!

Of course, at this time she was unaware of her mother Wang Yingxue's ultimate plan!

……

"The Dou family is really interesting!" He Weifang looked at the invitation in her hand, smiled, and then looked up at Wei Tingyu and said.

They had only just returned to the Marquis's residence today and hadn't even had a chance to rest when the invitation from the Dou family arrived!

It only stated that the Dou family had invited Wei Tingyu to a banquet the next day, and that the invitation was personally delivered by Wei Tingyu's sister, the Duchess of Jing.

“Yes! Anyone with eyes can see that these banquets are for the young masters and ladies of noble families to meet and make connections. Why would we need to invite the Marquis?” Miao Ansu interjected.

"Cousin! What exactly is your stepmother Wang Yingxue up to?" Zhao Zhangru bluntly pointed out that there was something fishy going on.

"Who knows?" Dou Zhao smiled faintly and looked at Wei Tingyu, asking, "But no matter what they think, it depends on whether the Marquis wants to go or not!"

"You wouldn't know?" Wei Tingyu glanced at Dou Zhao, that little fox, and shook his head with a smile: "Then do you want me to go?"

"Does the Marquis like Ming'er?" However, Dou Zhao did not answer Wei Tingyu's question directly, but instead asked in return.

"Dou Ming... is quite charming!" Wei Tingyu said with a pursed lip. He wasn't lying; Dou Ming was indeed a very likable girl, and she had a gentle personality.

Most importantly, he hasn't been corrupted by Wang Yingxue yet!

If I bring her to my home, wouldn't that be considered saving a naive girl who was about to go astray?

Overall, it can be considered a good deed, right?

“In that case, Your Excellency shall go!” Dou Zhao blinked, then nodded and said, “To be honest, I don’t want my sister to be led astray by my stepmother!”

Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru were completely bewildered, still not understanding what Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao were talking about.
