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

"You must be the mistress of the eldest daughter's family?" However, the noblewoman who was squatting on the ground saw them first, so she put down the tools in her hand, smiled, stood up, and bowed to them.

"You are..." Wang Yingxue was taken aback, then realized that the "Madam" this woman was referring to must be Dou Zhao. So, her identity...

"This humble woman is Lady He, the Marquis's concubine!" And the one personally tending to the flowers and plants was naturally He Weifang! She smiled and bowed to Wang Yingxue, then turned to Wei Tingzhen and said, "Sister-in-law greets elder sister!"

"Oh..." Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen were both taken aback, and then they started to mutter to themselves.

They all knew that Wei Tingyu had brought back a concubine after his trip, but they never expected that this woman would actually do the dirty work that only gardeners would do.

It has to be said that the Jining Marquis's mansion now has another eccentric woman!

"As a concubine of the Marquis, how can you do such heavy and dirty work? It's beneath your dignity!" Wei Tingzhen frowned as she looked at He Weifang and began to scold her, adopting the demeanor of an elder sister-in-law.

“My sister-in-law doesn’t have any other hobbies; she just likes to tend to flowers and plants!” However, He Weifang was a worldly woman and wouldn’t be intimidated by Wei Tingzhen’s words. She smiled calmly and said, “Besides, it was the Marquis who gave me special permission to cultivate the flowers and plants myself! Even if I don’t understand etiquette, I know the principle that the husband is the head of the household! My husband has given his permission…”

"..." This retort completely shut down any further words Wei Tingzhen might have wanted to say to her!

That's true! She's now a concubine of the Marquis of Jining, not someone from your Duke of Jing's household!

Since the Marquis has spoken, how can a married-out aunt interfere in her family's affairs?

Dou Ming's eyes lit up even more at this moment. He hadn't expected it! His brother-in-law doted on the woman in his backyard to this extent?!

Even the work of a gardener, which is usually looked down upon by noble families, is allowed to be done by He Weifang herself.

The only reason is that He Weifang herself enjoys doing this kind of thing.

My goodness! It's impossible not to love a brother-in-law like that!

If I were to enter the Marquis's mansion in the future, I would naturally no longer have to do those needlework tasks that my parents forced me to do every day.

You can play the piano and write poetry with your brother-in-law!

In your spare time, you can also explore cooking and herbal remedies with other women.

If you get bored again, you can play mahjong with a Miao girl...

My God! What an idyllic life! Dou Ming's heart was already flying to the backyard of the Marquis's mansion!

"Where is your wife?" Wang Yingxue pursed her lips, then looked at He Weifang and asked directly.

At this moment, she was quite certain that the three women had deliberately shown off here just to give her a hard time.

It's obvious they're not afraid of causing trouble! In that case, they might as well just confront Dou Zhao head-on!

As soon as Wang Yingxue finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot from a distance and struck the wooden pillar next to her.

"Ah!" This startled Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen so much that their legs went weak! Dou Ming also subconsciously covered his wildly beating heart with his hand!

After all, such a dangerous arrow was suddenly shot into the quiet courtyard that had just been peaceful and serene, and it was only a few steps away from them. It was already a testament to the strong will of these women that they did not fall down immediately!

"Shou Gu?!" Coming to her senses, Wang Yingxue looked in the direction the arrow had come from and saw Dou Zhao standing there with a longbow in his hand, staring back at her with an indifferent expression.

"How could you be so rude?" Of course, this time Wang Yingxue finally seized the opportunity to give Dou Zhao a good scolding! Without saying a word, she quickly stepped forward and questioned her with a frown.

"I intended to use this willow-shooting tool to welcome our guests! I didn't expect my technique to be so poor, and it has startled our distinguished guests!" Dou Zhao suppressed his laughter and replied slowly.

Of course, her words were also a reminder to the women opposite her that they were merely guests here!

Not to mention that Wei Tingzhen, the Marquis's sister who has already married out, is now an outsider, even you, Wang Yingxue, are an outsider in this courtyard now!

Because this courtyard is currently still under the name of Old Madam Cui, it will inevitably become Dou Zhao's property in the future.

When Wang Yingxue saw Dou Zhao's nonchalant demeanor, she was furious!

After all, if someone's technique was truly lacking and they almost hit someone, they would definitely be terrified.

"Where is the Marquis? Has he not arrived yet?" Wei Tingzhen had recovered from her earlier panic. She had never liked her sister-in-law Dou Zhao, and seeing this scene only made her more displeased. She frowned, stepped forward, and asked.

“My lord…” Dou Zhao smiled slightly, then said nothing more, and turned to look at a side door next to him.

Just as everyone was wondering, the side door slowly opened, and a man dressed in a silver-white robe, with a delicate jade fox mask on his face, appeared there.

This scene left everyone present stunned!

Of course, the most shocking one was Wang Yingxue!

The handsome fox spirit! The man she had longed for for so many days had finally appeared before her once again!

But why is he in Old Madam Cui's courtyard at this moment? Could he be with Dou Zhao?

In other words, his previous plan had succeeded, and this handsome fox-faced young man had really won over Dou Zhao?

Thinking of this, Wang Yingxue suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and when she looked at Dou Zhao again, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable resentment!

This is the man I've always longed for, and he actually got together with Dou Zhao!

"My Lord!" However, when Dou Zhao turned around and bowed impolitely to the jade-faced fox-like young man who was slowly walking over, Wang Yingxue was stunned as if struck by lightning.

What? Dou Zhao calls him Marquis?

Could he be Wei Tingyu? Wang Yingxue's lips twitched, and then she swallowed hard twice in disbelief, after all, this news was too much of a shock to her.

"Little brother, you're so naughty! Why are you wearing a mask in our own yard? You scared your older sister!" Wei Tingzhen recognized her younger brother at this moment.

That's right! Although she was wearing a mask, she was certain that the person in front of her was Wei Tingyu, so she stepped forward without saying a word and made a joke.

Dou Ming had already thought about Wei Tingyu hundreds of times in his mind, and even though he was wearing a mask, he recognized his true identity at a glance.

He quickly ran forward and almost couldn't help but rush into her arms!

Fortunately, she realized in time that her sister was still behind her! Rushing into her brother-in-law's arms like that... didn't seem quite right!

That's when they finally stopped.

Of course, Dou Ming's heart was always beating very fast in this situation!

"Tomorrow I greet my brother-in-law... Lord Marquis!" She pursed her lips, revealing a sweet, shy smile, and solemnly bowed to Wei Tingyu.

"Jade-faced fox...you...you are really Wei Tingyu?" Wang Yingxue was completely stunned. Even in her dreams, she never imagined that her lover was actually Dou Zhao's husband!

When Wei Tingyu slowly removed the mask to reveal his true face, Wang Yingxue almost lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Dou Ming, who was standing next to her, reacted quickly and pulled his mother away; otherwise, she would have made a huge fool of herself in front of the maids and servants.

Of course, everyone present was puzzled by Wang Yingxue's rather strange behavior.

After all, even if Wei Tingyu brought in a mask of a jade fox, he shouldn't be this scared, right?

Look at the other female relatives and servants; they're all women, but none of them reacted as violently as Wang Yingxue!

Chapter 84 The Hearts of a Mother and Daughter! Wei Tingyu's Intentions!

“Today I truly see it! The women in the Marquis’s mansion…not a single one is easy to deal with!” In the tea room of the side hall, Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen sat together drinking tea. Seeing that Wang Yingxue had been standing there in a daze for a long time without speaking, Wei Tingzhen took the initiative to speak.

"Oh..." However, Wang Yingxue's mind was a mess at the moment. She was still processing the fact that the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman was Wei Tingyu. Upon hearing Wei Tingzhen's words, she didn't even think about it and subconsciously nodded.

"That's why I'll only feel at ease if you two enter the Marquis's mansion tomorrow to be my brother's legal wives! Otherwise, who knows what will become of the Marquis of Jining's mansion!" Wei Tingzhen frowned, not expecting Wang Yingxue's reaction to be so cold, and continued to speak.

"Hmm..." However, Wang Yingxue still did not react, her gaze remained blank, and she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"..." Wei Tingzhen was completely dumbfounded!

Today's gathering was arranged by you, Wang Yingxue! Wasn't the purpose to get your own daughter into the Marquis's mansion as his principal wife? Why are you acting so indifferent now?

If things are just left like this, wouldn't the half of Dou Zhao's dowry that I was promised be wasted?

"Hey!" Thinking of this, Wei Tingzhen quickly patted Wang Yingxue's shoulder with her fan and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why have you been so absent-minded since the beginning?"

"Me?" Wang Yingxue finally snapped out of her daze after being slapped by Wei Tingzhen with his fan. Seeing the other woman's confused expression, she felt helpless.

What could I possibly be thinking about? It's just your little brother!

But she couldn't say this directly to Wei Tingzhen, after all, there was a generational difference between her and Wei Tingyu! Besides, it was originally meant to be a matchmaking for her daughter, but now it had become her own... How could she say such a thing?

If their affair gets out, it'll cause a huge uproar! For one thing, their daughter, Dou Ming, might never speak to her mother again!

Yes! Now that what happened has already occurred, we can't let the situation worsen!

Cut your losses! Pretend nothing ever happened!

In the future, treat that night of tenderness as a fleeting dream, keeping it firmly locked in your heart, and then there will be no problem!

Of course, Wang Yingxue made this decision with a heavy heart! At this moment, she bit her lower lip hard to relieve the pain in her heart! After all, the Jade-Faced Fox was the only man she had ever truly fallen for in all these years!

Anyone would feel sad and heartbroken to give up like this!

However, when she thought about her daughter's future happiness, Wang Yingxue had no choice but to make this sacrifice!

"Could it be that you were just stunned by my brother wearing the Jade Fox mask... and got a little carried away?" Wei Tingzhen, for some reason, suddenly grasped the truth and essence of the matter and teased her with a smile.

However, when Wei Tingzhen said that, it was just two married women getting together and joking around with dirty jokes; she really didn't think about it in that way.

After all, Wang Yingxue had been acting as a matchmaker between Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu, and no one would have expected that she herself would fall into this emotional vortex!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Reputation doesn't cover things up!" However, upon hearing Wei Tingzhen's words, Wang Yingxue was genuinely startled! She shuddered, wondering if she had given herself away by being too obvious and that someone had seen through her!

However, when she saw the teasing look in Wei Tingzhen's eyes, she realized that this woman was making dirty jokes at her.

He breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wang Yingxue, saying, "How can you say such nonsense? I think you're the one who's old in years but young in heart! How long has it been since the Duke of Jing visited your room? It's making you so lovesick!"

"What are you saying? Aren't you ashamed..."

The two women started making risqué jokes, but these words aroused another layer of worry in Wang Yingxue's ears.
