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

"Who knows! It might be a trap!" Zhao Zhangru, who was sitting on the other side, also leaned over and whispered.

“Something’s definitely up to no good! There must be something going on here!” Dou Zhao’s eyes darted around, then his gaze returned to Wei Tingyu.

At this moment, Miao Ansu was sitting next to him, carefully serving him food, while Dou Ming sat on the other side, watching Miao Ansu's actions intently, secretly noting down her actions of serving food to the Marquis.

Because serving dishes is a delicate task, Miao Ansu is indeed the best among Wei Tingyu's wives and concubines at the moment! So whenever she is present, she is in charge of it, and the other women do not compete with her for it!

Dou Ming, being a studious girl, was naturally eager to learn. She had never imagined that there were so many intricacies to serving her brother-in-law. She had plenty to learn!

"Sister Zhao! Sister Ru! Sister Fang!" After finishing her conversation with Wei Tingzhen, Wang Yingxue turned around and saw the three women observing her.

However, she wasn't embarrassed. Instead, she raised her wine cup and toasted the three women, saying, "Ming'er is still young! If she does anything wrong in the manor, please, as her elder sisters, teach her properly..."

After saying that, Wang Yingxue tilted her fair neck back and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.

“Madam, there’s no need to say more, we know it all along!” The three women were taken aback, and He Weifang answered directly, then downed her drink.

At this moment, they were certain that Wang Yingxue had indeed undergone a tremendous psychological transformation! Although the reasons for all of this were still unknown, the three of them understood that the current Wang Yingxue was definitely not just pretending to be close to them on the surface as before.

At least there's a 90% chance that the other person's toast was sincere!

"What's going on? I feel like she's really changed. Has this woman's acting improved again?" Zhao Zhangru muttered to Dou Zhao after putting down her wine glass. Her brain was really struggling to process what was going on!

"It has changed! But why?" Dou Zhao frowned. If he couldn't figure this out, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

“I think I guessed it!” He Weifang leaned close to Dou Zhao’s ear and whispered, “When Madam tilted her head back to drink just now, I saw that there seemed to be a few red spots on her neck…”

"Reddened?" Dou Zhao was taken aback, then looked closely at Wang Yingxue's neck! He found that things were indeed as He Weifang had said.

However, the blush was too light, and most people wouldn't notice it even if they saw it without being reminded.

Of course, He Weifang, a woman who spends her days tending to flowers and plants, is very sensitive to changes in color, which is why she was the only one present who noticed this!

“This is…” Dou Zhao blinked, then saw He Weifang.

However, He Weifang gently raised her neck, and Dou Zhao noticed that there were several similar blushes on her slender and beautiful neck!

That wasn't all. He Weifang then pointed at Dou Zhao's neck. Dou Zhao subconsciously reached out and touched her own neck. Although she couldn't see it, it was clear that He Weifang meant that she also had it on her neck!

At this moment, Dou Zhao finally realized! These slightly red marks were hickeys! They were marks left on him by the Marquis when they were intimate!

Wang Yingxue didn't have it on her neck before, but it appeared after she turned around. What does this mean?

This means she had just been intimate with a man! But the problem is that the garden is full of women today, and the only man is Wei Tingyu!

Dou Zhao would never believe the claim that some thief had sneaked in! For safety reasons, the entire courtyard was surrounded by two layers of Golden Shadow Guards and Silver Shadow Guards!

To exaggerate a bit, not even a male mosquito could fly into this yard today!

In other words, there is only one person who could leave this hickey on Wang Yingxue's neck!

That is... Lord Marquis!

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao swallowed hard, then secretly glanced at Wang Yingxue.

Sure enough, the woman had a shy expression on her face, and her eyes held a spring-like quality that he had never seen before!

Isn't this exactly how the ladies in the manor serve the Marquis after he gets up?

Later, when Wei Tingyu appeared, he was also in the kitchen with Wang Yingxue...

Dou Zhao was wondering how these two got together. Now the truth is finally out!

Dou Zhao understood these questions in an instant, and then looked at He Weifang.

Seeing that the other person nodded at her secretly, it was obvious that she had already figured it out!

The two looked in Wang Yingxue's direction at the same time. Sure enough, although the woman pretended to eat and drink, her beautiful eyes kept glancing secretly at Wei Tingyu, and the love and admiration in her eyes could not be hidden at all!

"...No wonder she changed her ways! It turns out she was...tamed by the Marquis!" He Weifang chuckled to herself, then muttered a complaint under her breath.

The word "subdue" was used quite cleverly! However, she only spoke it after awkwardly thinking about it, because she had realized that other words didn't seem quite right.

He Weifang was indeed a little jealous when she said this, but Wei Tingyu's actions did not surprise her!

After all, the status of a married woman is no obstacle for our Marquis of Jining! Especially considering that she herself was taken away by him when she was still the daughter-in-law of the Liu family!

Dou Zhao glanced at Dou Ming with some concern, confirming that her younger sister was unaware of this matter.

She wasn't inherently opposed to having another woman in the household, and had even been mentally prepared for it long ago; it was just that Wang Yingxue's current status was rather awkward.

If Ming finds out later, there will definitely be another round of trouble!

Sigh! What can I do? I can't help it, I just fell in love with such a nobleman!

Let's take it one step at a time from now on! Hopefully, the Marquis will be able to manage their relationship well and prevent any future troubles!

"You guys think this is really strange, huh? What could be the reason?" At this moment, Zhao Zhangru rested her chin on her hands, still looking in Wang Yingxue's direction with a puzzled expression, muttering to herself that she couldn't figure out the reason.

Dou Zhao and He Weifang exchanged a glance and decided that for the time being, it would be best for only the two of them to know about this! Miao Ansu, Zhao Zhangru, and especially Dou Ming, should all be kept in the dark!

……

"Mother! I can't bear to part with you!" The banquet finally ended, and everyone walked towards the carriages parked outside the manor. Dou Ming, however, held Wang Yingxue's hand in the crowd, saying with a look of reluctance.

In fact, Dou Ming already knew that this trip to the Marquis's mansion with his sister and brother-in-law, supposedly to stay for a while, was no different from him actually entering the mansion himself!

A few days later, Wang Yingxue persuaded her father and fifth uncle to sign the concubine contract, and she officially became a noble concubine in the Marquis's mansion! Naturally, there was no need for her to come back!

There won't be many more opportunities to see my mother, Wang Yingxue, in the future! (Zhao Lihao)

"Silly child!" Wang Yingxue looked at Dou Ming with a loving smile, then hugged her.

"This is the future you chose! Don't regret it so easily!" After gently patting her daughter's back twice to comfort her, Wang Yingxue said with a smile, while a tear welled up in the corner of her eye.

As a mother, how could she not be reluctant to let her daughter leave? But she also knew that men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age, and that such a day would come sooner or later.

After all, he himself has been through it!

“This is not difficult!” Dou Zhao suddenly stopped and turned to Wang Yingxue, saying, “If you wish to visit my daughter, you are welcome to come to the Marquis’s residence anytime! You can stay here for a few more days, just like Dou Ming is now!”

"Really?" Wang Yingxue was taken aback, then turned to look at Wei Tingyu, since he had to give his approval.

Wei Tingyu, of course, couldn't refuse, so he smiled and nodded, which was considered as agreeing to her request.

Wang Yingxue and Dou Ming were overjoyed!

After all, from now on, the mother and daughter will be able to see each other more often, and the daughter will not be harassed by her husband's family just because she goes back to her parents' home!

This most basic human right is commonplace in the backyard of the Marquis of Jining's mansion, but it is a completely different story in other prominent families!

Of course, there was another reason why Wang Yingxue was so happy: she and her handsome fox-faced husband could meet and date more often!

This is truly a win-win situation for Wang Yingxue! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush and glance at the young man opposite her.

Seeing that the other person also winked at her secretly, Wang Yingxue immediately felt a surge of happiness, as if she and her lover were on the same wavelength!

It's such a pity! Dou Ming and I are mother and daughter, so some things are destined to be kept secret!

How about the two of them be sisters in their next life? Just like Dou Zhao and Dou Ming, wouldn't that be perfect?

Chapter 88 Don't cause trouble for my woman!

Just as Wang Yingxue was lost in thought with a flushed face, the manor gate in front of her was suddenly pushed open from the outside by a strong force!

Then Dou Laowu, Dou Shishu, barged in with several servants and lackeys!

Beside him was a middle-aged man dressed in brown clothes. Wei Tingyu recognized him at a glance as the current Prefect of the Capital!

Behind them, the servants were carrying several chest-wide wooden boxes, looking extremely cautious!

"Ah!" The women were startled by the sudden turn of events. Still in shock, they all stared wide-eyed. Only after recognizing Dou Shishu did they recover.

Even Wang Yingxue couldn't help but gently pat her small chest with her fan while glaring at Dou Shishu with a displeased expression.

"Why has Fifth Uncle come to Grandmother's estate?" Dou Zhao, as the person in charge of this old lady Cui's estate at the moment, immediately stepped forward, looked at Dou Shishu, and asked with a slight frown.

After all, it's incredibly rude of them to just barge in like that! Do they really think this is the Dou residence?

"This estate is secluded! I have important matters to discuss with the Prefect, so I came here!" As soon as Dou Shishu saw that it was Dou Zhao, he immediately put on his disgusting, disdainful face and waved his hand as he spoke.

Without waiting for Dou Zhao's reply, he turned around and led the prefect into the estate.

However, the Golden Shadow Guards were not to be trifled with! They would not let anyone into the manor without their master's permission! So without saying a word, they stepped forward and blocked Dou Shishu and his group!

"What does this mean?" Dou Shishu was taken aback and paused for a moment after being stopped, then turned to look at Dou Zhao.

“Grandmother doesn’t want to get involved in court affairs, as she has already said! Fifth Uncle has important matters to discuss with the Prefect, so please go elsewhere!” Dou Zhao said, pursing his lips.

“You…” Dou Shishu was stunned. He didn’t expect his niece to show no respect in front of the prefect. He immediately frowned and was about to lose his temper.

However, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Tingyu standing next to him, who was looking at him with a playful expression. The anger that had been rising in his throat was swallowed back down!

Seeing his face turn red and his neck thick with suppressed anger, yet he dared not utter the rest of his words, the prefect was somewhat dumbfounded!

"So it's the Marquis of Jining here!" Dou Shishu finally calmed down before looking at Wei Tingyu and saying, "Sister Zhao must be so domineering because the Marquis spoils her!"

In the past, even though Dou Zhao wasn't close to her fifth uncle, she wouldn't have stopped him from using the farm for such a small matter.

However, Dou Zhao is currently at odds with him, refusing to back down an inch! This is clearly because he has someone backing him up! And who else could this person be but Wei Tingyu?

Dou Shishu was extremely displeased! He had only thought that Dou Zhao's marriage to the Marquis of Jining would further enhance his prestige in the court, but who would have thought that Dou Zhao would turn against her own family! Relying on the favor of Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining, she had repeatedly humiliated her uncles and aunts!

So when he said that, he couldn't help but sound a bit sarcastic!
