Did I really have a serious mental illness back then? Why did I have to do something so extreme?

That's often how people are. When they get stuck on a particular idea, they just can't seem to get over it! They're determined to achieve their goal, even if it means losing their family and everything else!

However, once I suddenly understood this, everything became clear, and I even felt that my previous behavior and thoughts were particularly ridiculous and childish!

In a sense, Wang Yingxue has only truly grown up today!

Although she has gained more life experience and grown older, her thoughts are still trapped on the day Dou Zhao's biological mother committed suicide more than a decade ago!

She, a teenage girl, entered the Dou family and was immediately branded as the one who forced the mistress to her death. Amidst the gossip and contemptuous glances of others, she ascended to the position of the principal wife.

All the ruthlessness and viciousness she's displayed over the years are nothing more than a protective shell she uses to shield herself!

Now, that outer shell has finally shattered! And Wang Yingxue has finally revealed the soft and gentle side of a woman her age!

Of course, the main reason for all of this is that she has found her pillar of support!

She knew she no longer needed those pretenses and ruthlessness to protect herself and her daughter, because with Wei Tingyu around, as long as she was wholeheartedly loyal to him, there would be no problem!

"Madam... Madam..." At that moment, two calls rang out behind Wei Tingyu and Wang Yingxue.

The two turned around at the same time, only to see the old woman who had been guarding Wang Yingxue's door running over from a distance, panting heavily.

She had been guarding Wang Yingxue's door when she suddenly felt a stomachache. She ran to the outhouse to relieve herself, and when she returned, she found the door open and Wang Yingxue nowhere to be seen. That's when she started looking for her.

Of course, the old woman's previous abdominal pain was also caused by Wei Tingyu's internal force acupressure from a distance. After all, it was not good for her to see the two of them swaggering out of the house. She still had to consider Wang Yingxue's feelings!

Wang Yingxue also thought of this at this moment, and looked at Wei Tingyu in a coquettish way. Her expression was just like a little wife flirting with her husband!

The old woman was stunned when she saw the change in Wang Yingxue's expression.

However, she only frowned slightly in suspicion before immediately putting the matter out of her mind for the time being.

"What's all the noise about? How rude!" Of course, Wang Yingxue was always dignified and proper in front of Wei Tingyu, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the panting old woman, asking her question.

"Just now, a servant from the Dou family delivered a letter at the gate, saying that an old friend of yours has come to the capital from out of town with his daughter! He went to look for you at the mansion but you were not there, so he handed this letter over to a servant in the mansion to deliver it!"

The old woman glanced at Wei Tingyu standing beside her, bowed to him, and immediately took out a letter and handed it to Wang Yingxue.

"My old friend?" Wang Yingxue was also taken aback. After all these years in the capital, how could she possibly remember any old friends from afar? For a moment, her mind was a little confused.

Of course, at this moment she was more afraid that Wei Tingyu would misunderstand.

After all, the person who came only gave him a letter and didn't bring any other words, only saying that they were an old friend.

The old nanny was confused; she hadn't even clearly stated whether the other person was male or female. What if the Marquis misunderstood?

Thinking of this, Wang Yingxue didn't wait any longer and opened the letter in front of Wei Tingyu. When she saw the delicate handwriting in the letter, her bright eyes widened immediately!

"Li Niang! It's Li Niang!" Wang Yingxue was even more excited after seeing the contents of the letter.

"Li Niang? Who is that?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu, standing to the side, seemed to have a vague image in his mind, but still couldn't remember who this person was for a moment...

"My lord! This Li Niang is my childhood playmate!" Wang Yingxue was also immersed in the joy of reuniting with her old friend. She happily read the letter and explained, "Later, I came to the capital with my family, and Li Niang married far away. It's been almost 20 years since we last saw each other!"

"She did send two letters through someone later, but I heard that she married into a merchant family and is living a fairly comfortable life!"

"The family also has five daughters, each of whom is as beautiful as a flower!"

"She and her daughters are having a hard time in their hometown right now, so she sold the deeds to her house and land and brought all the money to the capital to stay with her married second daughter!"

……

Listening to Wang Yingxue talking to herself while reading the letter, Wei Tingyu immediately understood!

Good heavens! This is picking up where the story of "Five Blessings Come to the Door" left off!

As the system predicted, these so-called "female-centric dramas" will gradually be integrated into this world, and will interact with the people from the original world.

In the current world setting, the five sisters' mother, Li Niangzi, and Wang Yingxue have actually known each other since childhood?!

How interesting!

Wang Yingxue, having finished reading the letter, also noticed the fleeting glint in Wei Tingyu's eyes.

Of course, she didn't know that Wei Tingyu was marveling at the wonders of the world, and thought that he was interested in what she had just said!

"Alright! You can go now!" Wang Yingxue waved to the nanny, signaling her to leave.

Once everyone was out of sight of him and Wei Tingyu, he spoke with a teasing smile, "Why is the Marquis so interested in his childhood playmate?"

"Hmm!" Wei Tingyu chuckled upon hearing this, not expecting that Wang Yingxue would also be jealous.

That's good, though. This makes her seem more like a normal woman! If she didn't get jealous at all, she would be frighteningly indifferent and apathetic!

"Your Excellency answered so readily!" Wang Yingxue's face lit up with surprise upon hearing Wei Tingyu nod in agreement. That was such a quick and decisive response!

However, she quickly added, "My good friend has already given birth to five daughters, but I wonder how out of shape she's become... Could it be that the Marquis is after her five daughters?"

Figure? Wei Tingyu recalled the situation in the drama he had watched before. Although this Lady Li had given birth to five daughters, her figure was absolutely amazing!

However, those five golden flowers were his real target!

Chapter 87 The Affair is Exposed! Wang Yingxue's Thoughts!

“If Your Excellency is truly interested, I could certainly help you make a connection…” Seeing that Wei Tingyu had not answered her question but had fallen into thought, Wang Yingxue’s jealousy intensified.

As she spoke, she reached out and gently pinched Wei Tingyu's waist...

Of course, this was just a woman coaxing her husband; she wouldn't dare to actually pinch Wei Tingyu hard enough to hurt him!

However, given her strength and Wei Tingyu's current physical condition, even if she used all her strength, she wouldn't cause him the slightest pain.

However, when Wei Tingyu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, he pulled her into his arms.

I must say, this mature married woman is really something! The way she acts coquettishly is unique and intoxicating!

"Mother! Lord Marquis!" At this moment, Dou Ming's eyes were quick, and he spotted Wei Tingyu and Wang Yingxue standing outside the door.

Of course, from her angle, she could only see Wei Tingyu's back. Wang Yingxue was standing in front of him, but most of her body was blocked, so she couldn't see that the two were hugging each other.

This sound startled Wang Yingxue! She quickly took two steps back, creating distance between herself and Wei Tingyu, while her heart pounded wildly!

Fortunately, Wei Tingyu's back blocked his figure, only revealing half of his sleeve; otherwise, the secret between the two would have been completely exposed!

Of course, Wang Yingxue knew that this matter couldn't be hidden forever, and sooner or later she would have to face all the women! But right now, she was clearly not mentally prepared!

Thinking of this, Wang Yingxue quickly used Wei Tingyu's figure as cover to straighten her clothes. She even glanced at Wei Tingyu with some concern, wanting him to help check if there was anything on her body that might give her away.

However, Wei Tingyu burst out laughing when he saw Wang Yingxue's panicked expression! At the same time, his gaze towards her was full of teasing.

After all, when had this eldest daughter-in-law of the Dou family ever been so flustered in front of the younger generation? This is really unlike her!

Wang Yingxue instantly understood the reason for his smile from his gaze, her face flushed red, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

However, she also realized that the two of them had only hugged briefly and had not made any intense contact, so it was unlikely that they had left any particularly obvious evidence!

Moreover, given the relationship between myself and Wei Tingyu, Dou Ming and the others wouldn't think in any other direction. It seems that I was just worrying unnecessarily!

"Ming'er! Sister Zhao!" Having figured this out, Wang Yingxue quickly calmed her breathing and heartbeat, then put on her dignified appearance again, waving the round fan in her hand as she walked out from in front of Wei Tingyu and appeared in the sight of the women.

"Are you preparing a banquet for the Marquis?" Wang Yingxue asked the women with a kind smile as she swayed her hips as she slowly moved forward.

Wei Tingyu, standing behind Wang Yingxue, scanned the woman's figure from top to bottom once more.

With her swaying waist like a water snake and her delicate, willow-like demeanor, she truly possesses an innate allure!

While admiring him inwardly, Wei Tingyu also mentally grumbled a few words about Dou Laoqi! This man has no taste for pleasure! Such a beautiful woman has been left unattended in an empty room for over a decade. Could it be that this old man himself is no longer capable?!

"Yes, Mother! I'm learning from my eldest sister how to help the Marquis prepare the banquet..." Dou Ming nodded quickly after hearing his mother's question, and said excitedly.

However, before she could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of Wei Tingyu standing at the door, looking at her with a smile. Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head, no longer saying a word.

"What's wrong, Ming-mei? Why are you so shy?!" Dou Zhao's beautiful eyes had already darted suspiciously over Wei Tingyu and Wang Yingxue several times, and now she stepped forward and took Dou Ming's hand, saying, "Everyone here knows how you feel about the Marquis. Why don't you come back to the Marquis's residence with me today!"

"This..." Dou Ming was taken aback when he heard this. He was naturally more than willing, but he said with some concern, "I'm afraid it would be against etiquette!"

After all, Dou Ming was still a young, unmarried girl. Although she was willing to be a concubine in order to stay by Wei Tingyu's side, she didn't even have the title of concubine yet. Wouldn't she be ridiculed if she entered the mansion like this?

"It's alright, it's alright." At this moment, Wang Yingxue suddenly spoke up: "Sister Zhao is your own elder sister, and also the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jining's mansion! As the eldest daughter-in-law's younger sister, who can say anything if you go to the mansion to play for a few days?"

"Besides! Ming'er doesn't plan to marry into another family in the future, so why should she care if others laugh at her behind her back?"

As soon as Wang Yingxue finished speaking, her children present stared wide-eyed at her with disbelief.

Wait... why did Wang Yingxue suddenly change her mind? Everyone knows she dreams of her daughter becoming the principal wife of the Marquis of Jining!

Entering the manor without any official title or status, their chances of rising in rank in the future will probably be even slimmer!

Logically speaking, Wang Yingxue should have tried her best to stop it! At the very least, she should have done her best to secure the status of Dou Ming's concubine, and then have Wei Tingyu formally and openly marry him into the Marquis's mansion before she would agree.

Now what... Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, Zhao Zhangru and He Weifang exchanged slightly surprised glances, all feeling that something must be going on!

“But what about Uncle Wu and Father…” Dou Ming was naturally tempted by Wang Yingxue’s words, but she was discouraged when she thought of her two old-fashioned elders, because she knew that the two of them would never agree!

"If you want to go tomorrow, then go. I'll talk to your fifth uncle and father!" Wang Yingxue became more assertive at this moment, after all, she had Wei Tingyu backing her up!

Moreover, this matter concerns my daughter's fate and future happiness!

What pretense of marital harmony? What refinement of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dou family? In her eyes, none of it mattered as much as her daughter's future!

……

"Madam! Why does your stepmother seem like a completely different person all of a sudden?" At the banquet, He Weifang frowned and cautiously asked Dou Zhao, who was sitting not far away chatting enthusiastically.
