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

Because although I had just thought it through well, burying that past event deep in my heart and treating it merely as a memory! But unfortunately, there were two people who experienced that past event!

She was willing to stop bringing it up, but what if Wei Tingyu wasn't willing? What if he refused to cooperate?

Yes! We still need to find an opportunity to talk to Wei Tingyu alone!

Let's talk this out, so that he will devote himself to Dou Ming from now on and completely forget about himself. This outcome will be better for everyone!

Although reason told her that doing so was the right thing to do, Wang Yingxue couldn't help but feel disappointed and depressed.

It seems that I am destined to be with the Jade-Faced Fox Gentleman but not to be with him in this life!

However, from another perspective, after Dou Ming marries Wei Tingyu, they will still be a family and will still be able to see each other on a regular basis.

Sometimes, a single glance between two people can reveal the feelings they shared that night! Although the others present wouldn't understand, it's still a small consolation for their own pitiful feelings!

……

"Brother-in-law, look!" In the courtyard, Dou Mingzheng was excitedly pulling a kite and pointing to a couplet under the kite, saying to Wei Tingyu.

"A new era begins here! We gaze towards the azure sky!" Wei Tingyu looked up and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

This couplet is truly excellent! It has a beautiful artistic conception and perfectly reflects Wei Tingyu's current state of mind!

"I wrote this myself!" Dou Ming blushed and looked delighted when he heard his brother-in-law's praise.

"What a fine word! And the meaning is wonderful too!" Dou Zhao smiled and stepped forward to look at Dou Ming, saying, "It was written by Ming'er himself. Is he hoping that the Marquis's official career will be smooth sailing, and that he and his wife will live happily ever after?"

"I..." Dou Ming didn't expect that his sister Dou Zhao would reveal what he was thinking so easily. And in front of his brother-in-law Wei Tingyu, he immediately blushed deeply.

"Why are you blushing?" Dou Zhao blinked. She really liked this younger sister now. So she especially liked teasing her, always finding it fun and also strengthening their sisterly bond!

"I was just wishing my brother-in-law and sister a long and happy life together!" Dou Ming knew his sister was teasing him, but he still said it in a shy and low voice.

"Me, sir, yearning for the heavens?" Dou Zhao blinked, looked at Dou Ming, and asked again, "And you, Ming'er? Where are you?"

"Me?" Dou Ming hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wei Tingyu. Seeing that Wei Tingyu was also looking at him with a half-smile, Dou Ming suddenly felt courageous. He took a deep breath and then said, "If brother-in-law and sister don't mind, I'd like to stay with you tomorrow..."

Good heavens! This is practically a direct confession!

Wei Tingyu never expected that Dou Ming, this girl, who is gentle and lovely with a soft and sweet personality, would be so courageous for love!

"Well... let's see what the Marquis and Heaven think," Dou Zhao said, his eyes darting around before pointing to the gourd hanging under the distant covered bridge. "If the Marquis can hit that gourd with an arrow, it means Heaven has also granted this happy occasion!"

“Alright!” Wei Tingyu nodded, then took the longbow from Dou Zhao, nocked it, and aimed.

Dou Ming's heart jumped into her throat; she never expected things to progress so quickly.

The group was chatting, and the conversation suddenly turned into Wei Tingyu shooting an arrow into a gourd and deciding on his future spouse?!

It seems that her brother-in-law really likes her, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily!

But what if my brother-in-law misses? God, please bless him so he can hit the gourd with his arrow!

Dou Ming felt a mix of fear, anticipation, and apprehension, and the expression on his small face kept changing, making Dou Zhao, who was standing next to him, cover her mouth and laugh.

My younger sister is really adorable! Since the Marquis likes her too, let's take her as a concubine! Whether or not we shoot the gourd seed doesn't really matter!

Moreover, Dou Zhao was aware of Wei Tingyu's abilities!

She herself had practiced archery diligently since childhood, which is why she was able to hit the wooden pillar on the covered bridge with an arrow from such a distance.

However, compared to Wei Tingyu, they are not even in the same league!

Of course, for Wei Tingyu, archery is something that doesn't require any practice at all!

Although he had never touched a bow and arrow before he transmigrated, he casually tried it a couple of times at the Marquis's mansion and already had the accuracy to hit a target from a hundred paces away.

After all, he had decades of internal energy cultivation as a foundation, so there was no tremor at all when he drew the bow!

In addition, his eyesight and perception are far beyond that of ordinary people, so he can even fully calculate and take into account the effects of wind speed and wind direction.

He could pin a fly a hundred paces away to the wall with a single arrow!

Without hesitation, Wei Tingyu drew his bow and shot an arrow! Sure enough, the arrow pierced through the gourd under the covered bridge and exploded with a bang, sending a cluster of flowers flying everywhere!

It's clear that the gourd contained flower petals and had been hung under the covered bridge beforehand, something Dou Zhao had prepared long ago!

This girl didn't even tell me beforehand!

Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu glanced at Dou Zhao beside him, and was greeted with a smile in return.

It has to be said, what more could a husband ask for than a wife like this?

"Hit!" Seeing Wei Tingyu's arrow hit the target perfectly, Dou Ming jumped up with joy and clapped his hands, shouting, "Brother-in-law, you're awesome!"

Of course, she wasn't flattering Wei Tingyu at this moment; she was genuinely delighted! According to what her sister Dou Zhao had just said, wasn't this destiny?

She's willing! Her brother-in-law is interested! And Heaven is on her side! This marriage is bound to succeed!

"Ming-meimei likes watching archery so much?" Dou Zhao laughed at this moment, looking at Dou Ming who was cheering and jumping for joy, and said, "I, as the eldest sister, didn't even know that before."

"I..." Dou Ming blushed deeply, stole a glance at Wei Tingyu who was smiling at him, and felt his heart pounding.

But she still nodded cautiously and said, "I just couldn't help cheering when I saw my brother-in-law's heroic archery skills."

"If you want to learn archery tomorrow, then let your brother-in-law teach you!" Dou Zhao was also keen to bring Dou Ming into the household. After all, keeping such a good younger sister by Wang Yingxue's side would really ruin the girl's life!

"Hmm..." Dou Minghong nodded, then glanced cautiously at Wei Tingyu but didn't say anything. Instead, she took the longbow from Dou Zhao's hand and prepared to draw the string, mimicking his previous posture.

"That's not the right posture! Otherwise you might hurt yourself!" Seeing this, Wei Tingyu stepped forward and personally instructed Dou Ming on how to draw the string.

Of course, for convenience, he stood behind Dou Ming, almost embracing her during the lesson.

Dou Ming naturally felt the warmth and comfort of his brother-in-law's chest against his back, and happily closed his eyes slightly, fully immersing himself in this unforgettable feeling.

As for whether or not she should learn archery, Dou Mingcai didn't care! After all, her original hobbies were just writing poetry and painting.

……

"Ming'er!" Just then, Wang Yingxue's voice suddenly rang out from the second-floor corridor.

Dou Ming was startled and quickly took two steps back from Wei Tingyu's embrace. He then glanced at his mother standing upstairs and lowered his head in shame.

"It's one thing for your brother-in-law to play around with archery as a man, but why are you making a scene?" However, Wang Yingxue had just seen Wei Tingyu holding Dou Ming and teaching her to shoot arrows, and a surge of jealousy rose in her heart. She said directly, "Archery is something women shouldn't learn!"

However, Wang Yingxue's words frightened Dou Ming, needless to say, and Dou Zhao's face immediately turned cold.

After all, she was originally a free-spirited woman, and now that she has come to the Marquis's mansion, with Wei Tingyu's support and even encouragement, she is living her life more and more authentically!

Hearing Wang Yingxue say that women shouldn't do this or that, he naturally felt even more indignant!

"My lord!" Wang Yingxue hadn't expected to be jealous of her daughter Dou Ming, but when she saw everyone's eyes on her, she quickly forced an awkward smile and nodded to Wei Tingyu, saying, "You must be tired after playing around for so long, right? Why don't you go back inside and have some fruit to rest?"

……

The long table inside was usually occupied by women, but at the moment, the groups were clearly separated.

Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen sat on one side as temporary allies, while Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, Zhao Zhangru, and He Weifang sat on the other side.

As for poor Dou Ming, he was stuck on the left and right sides, and it was inappropriate for him to go to either side, so he could only sit in the middle with a wronged expression.

Her small eyes darted around nervously, as if afraid that things would get tense between the two sides, which would make her even more embarrassed!

"Where has my brother gone again? Why doesn't he come in and rest?" Wei Tingzhen rolled her eyes in exasperation as she looked at the four women opposite her, Dou Zhao, who seemed united against a common enemy. She then asked.

"How dare we women of the inner quarters concern ourselves with the Marquis's affairs?!" Zhao Zhangru, with her fiery temper, naturally wouldn't tolerate this nominal sister-in-law. She rolled her eyes at her and then became sarcastic.

"You..." Wei Tingzhen was stunned. She didn't expect that these people would dare to talk back. And the one who talked back was neither Dou Zhao, the legal wife, nor He Weifang, the secondary wife, but Zhao Zhangru, the concubine!

A concubine is just a concubine; even a noble concubine is still not respectable!

Dou Zhao's current permission for his concubines to sit at the same table with them has already displeased Wei Tingzhen! After being mocked by Zhao Zhangru, she glared even more angrily.

"This Marquis's mansion is becoming more and more unruly!" Wei Tingzhen looked directly at Dou Zhao and asked, "Zhao'er! As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, is this how you manage the inner quarters?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Although Dou Zhao didn't usually like to directly confront people, he hated these so-called rules of legitimate and illegitimate children even more than Zhao Zhangru! He pretended to be confused and looked at Wei Tingzhen, asking, "But the Marquis praised me for managing things well!"

"It is a great principle that a woman should obey her husband after marriage. Our eldest daughter-in-law listens to the Marquis. Who can point out any faults?" He Weifang sneered at this moment. Her relationship with the third daughter who had married into the Marquis's mansion first was truly stronger than gold. At this moment, she undoubtedly spoke up to support Dou Zhao.

"Let the Marquis and Madam handle the affairs of the Marquis's residence!" Miao Ansu raised her eyes and looked at Wei Tingzhen with a disdainful smile, saying, "Since you're already married, you should worry more about the affairs of the Duke of Jing's residence! We, the Marquis of Jining's residence, don't need you to worry about us too much!"

"This...this..." Wei Tingzhen didn't expect that after saying a few words, she would be bombarded with a barrage of angry rebukes from the four women opposite her.

But she couldn't come up with any reason to suppress the other party!

After all, given that she was already married, she really had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis of Jining's mansion.

It is clear that what the four women were talking about was not only her previous actions, but also the matter of her conspiring with Wang Yingxue today to give Wei Tingyu a concubine!

Although Dou Ming was originally in Wei Tingyu's plan to take a concubine, and the four women did not object to her taking her in, the feeling of the Marquis taking the initiative to ask for her is very different from that of an outsider forcing her into the household!

Of course, this anger will be vented on Wei Tingzhen and Wang Yingxue, and won't involve Dou Ming, that little girl!

Chapter 85: Winning Over Wang Yingxue Body and Soul!

"The Marquis must be afraid that with so many women in this house, he'll be bothered by all the gossip about the Zhang family and the Li family, so he's gone to find some peace and quiet!" Wang Yingxue then stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Why don't we two also do the same and find some peace and quiet? Once Sister Zhao and the others have prepared the banquet, we can join the Marquis at the table!"

“Okay!” Wei Tingzhen was just worried about not having a way out, but when he heard Wang Yingxue’s suggestion, he immediately nodded and then became the first to get up and prepare to walk out.

Seeing this, Wang Yingxue quickly got up and followed, and before leaving, she gave Dou Ming a subtle wink, indicating that she must maintain good relations with the four wives and concubines of the Marquis's mansion, at least on the surface, she should be more respectful.

Of course, this is not difficult to explain clearly!

Without Wang Yingxue's interference, Dou Ming was always very kind to outsiders. Especially towards Wei Tingyu's four older sisters who had joined the family earlier—she was practically scrambling to curry favor with them!
