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

This unexpected event was completely outside his plans! Who knew that Dou Ming, this little girl, would stumble open the door and bump right into him?!

His reaction of hugging the pretty girl was purely an instinctive action! Yes, that's exactly it!

However, this scene appeared completely different to Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru.

Good heavens! Brother-in-law and sister-in-law hugging and kissing in public? And in front of my sister and her two best friends? That's a bit too much!

Leaving aside Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru also showed expressions of anger and fury on their faces.

Miao Ansu, in particular, stared at Dou Ming, the little girl, with a hostile gaze and a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Young master... I was rude!" Realizing what had happened, Dou Ming blushed and took a step back from Wei Tingyu's embrace, then slowly bowed to him.

She had never met Wei Tingyu before, so she didn't immediately realize that he was her brother-in-law. She thought he was some young master who had gotten lost on his way to a family banquet and had stumbled upon this place by mistake.

"Why call me 'Young Master'? You should call me 'Brother-in-law'!" At this moment, Dou Zhao finally walked over slowly, then stood between Wei Tingyu and Dou Ming without making a sound, and said to his sister with a smile.

Good grief! So she really is jealous?!

Upon seeing this, Wei Tingyu understood. Although Dou Zhao had mentioned taking a concubine before, it would be a completely different story if the concubine was Dou Ming, his younger sister!

After all, Dou Zhao had experienced the situation in her previous life where Wei Tingyu and her own sister were having an affair and even tried to kill her.

The intimate interactions between the two in this life will surely remind her of that unpleasant experience, so it's inevitable that she will be wary!

"Brother-in-law?!" Dou Ming was stunned for a moment after hearing his sister's words, then looked at Wei Tingyu in confusion. Seeing him smile and nod at him, he realized it was true.

I never expected that I would bump into my brother-in-law so clumsily. This is really embarrassing!

"Sister! I... I didn't mean it!" At this moment, although Dou Ming thought Wei Tingyu was handsome, he was not at all in a good mood for him. He was even afraid that Dou Zhao would be angry because of this, so he quickly explained.

"I know!" Dou Zhao, displaying the demeanor of an elder sister, nodded with a smile, then looked Dou Ming up and down and said, "Sister Ming, you have such an impressive presence!"

After all, Dou Ming is the absolute protagonist of this matchmaking family banquet today, so he is dressed very luxuriously, basically the highest-class formal wear that the Dou family can bring out at this time.

Of course, at this moment, Dou Ming was still no match for Dou Zhao, the genuine Marquis's wife!

Thinking of this, Dou Ming blushed slightly and nodded shyly, saying, "I heard that my sister will be coming today. We haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss her!"

As Dou Ming spoke, his eyes glanced at Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, who were standing next to Dou Zhao.

The two women, dressed like maids standing next to Dou Zhao, created a stark contrast that left Dou Ming somewhat puzzled.

My sister is already a noble marquis, how could she associate with such a shallow woman from a merchant family? Isn't this an insult to her status?

Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru naturally saw the doubt in Dou Ming's heart and were very indignant.

However, the two of them did feel somewhat ashamed standing next to Dou Zhao.

After all, they were all women of the same age, and Dou Zhaoguang's luxurious clothes made her far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Although Dou Zhao, as her best friend, did not look down on them because of this, the two women still felt somewhat disappointed and even embarrassed!

"There are many outsiders today, let's go to my room first and let the sisters change their clothes!" Dou Ming blinked, then looked at Dou Zhao and said.

It was obvious that she was also indicating to Dou Zhao that she did not look down on her best friend, and was even willing to help them change into bright and nice clothes before going out to meet guests.

Her words stunned Dou Zhao. In this life, she hadn't had much contact with her younger sister, Dou Ming, and in her mind, Dou Ming was still the wicked sister from her previous life who had seduced her brother-in-law and tried to kill her.

Dou Ming, however, seems to be well-mannered and considerate, clearly a wonderful girl!

Seeing this scene, Wei Tingyu felt helpless. Knowing the plot well, he knew that Dou Ming was originally a good girl, but unfortunately she was led astray by her bad mother, Wang Yingxue!

Dou Zhao was a very intelligent person, and she quickly figured out the problem. The biggest difference between her younger sister at this time and the younger sister she knew in her previous life was that she had not yet become corrupted and decayed under the influence of her mother, Wang Yingxue, in the next ten years or so.

If I intervene in time in this life, will I have a chance to ensure that my sister Dou Ming remains a good girl?

Upon thinking of this, Dou Zhao immediately felt a sense of mission as the eldest sister!

That's right! Wang Yingxue, the stepmother, forced her way into this family back then, causing her own mother to die with resentment.

The best way for me to get revenge on her is to completely shatter her hopes! Especially her daughter Dou Ming, as long as I teach her well and help her break free from her evil mother's control, that would be the greatest revenge against Wang Yingxue!

Thinking of this, Dou Zhao immediately put on a smiling face and nodded, preparing to take Miao Su'an and Zhao Zhangru into Dou Ming's room to change their clothes.

However, before she could finish speaking, she heard a voice from behind that she found extremely annoying.

"Sister Zhao! You've finally arrived!"

Upon hearing the voice, Dou Zhao frowned immediately, because she knew from the voice that it was her troublesome stepmother, Wang Yingxue, who had just arrived at this moment!

Chapter 14: Public Display of Affection!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Yingxue slowly walking over with two servants, holding a fan in her hand. Her smile was so wide it was almost bursting out of her face.

However, Wei Tingyu scoffed at this smile, finding it rather fake!

After seeing Wang Yingxue's expression, Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, and Zhao Zhangru all understood the woman's true nature.

Even with the thickest smile on her face, she couldn't hide the jealousy and resentment in her eyes as she stared at Dou Zhao's magnificent attire as a marquis!

Among the women present, Dou Zhao held the highest status, so her stepmother couldn't put on any airs in front of her.

Even Dou Zhao's elegant and noble appearance made Wang Yingxue feel ashamed of herself!

As expected, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. The country girl I had always looked down on turned into a noble lady who outshone all the women present after entering the Marquis's mansion!

In Wang Yingxue's eyes, all of this should belong to her daughter, Dou Ming! How could she let that girl Dou Zhao steal it?

But this isn't over yet! Just you wait and see!

Sooner or later, Dou Ming will steal your title of Marquis's wife from you, you uncouth girl! He'll kick you out of the house completely!

A wicked thought flashed through Wang Yingxue's mind, and at that very moment, Wei Tingyu, who had been staring into his eyes, finally understood!

No wonder that unreliable ex-husband in her past life got involved with Dou Ming, and that such an obedient girl like Dou Ming would eventually do something as wicked as stealing her brother-in-law and harming her sister.

It is likely that after Dou Zhao married into the Marquis's mansion, Wang Yingxue constantly encouraged her in front of Dou Ming, ultimately changing the personality of this kind-hearted girl.

"Grandpa and Fifth Brother are waiting for you!" Wang Yingxue concealed her malicious thoughts well, smiling as she stepped forward and spoke to Dou Zhao. Then, her eyes turned to her daughter: "Ming'er! Why didn't you let us know your sister and brother-in-law were coming?"

After saying those two sentences, Wang Yingxue's eyes fell on Wei Tingyu, who had been standing silently to the side, and then her eyes practically shone with stares.

Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining! He is indeed a handsome and distinguished man!

This man should have been my husband tomorrow! But he ended up with that wretched girl, Dou Zhao!

Wang Yingxue was seething with hatred inside, her teeth clenched so tightly they almost broke her gums! But on the surface, she still pretended to be nonchalant and chuckled.

“Our Zhao’s sister has never been very well-behaved since she was little! She actually went straight to the backyard with her new son-in-law on her homecoming!” Wang Yingxue forced a smile at Wei Tingyu and said, “If she causes any trouble in the Marquis’s mansion in the future, please be lenient with her, son-in-law!”

Good grief! So this is how it begins?

Wei Tingyu sneered inwardly, thinking to himself that his scheming methods in the inner quarters might be effective against Dou Zhao's weak father, but against a modern-day otaku like himself who had watched so many palace dramas and domestic dramas, they would have no effect whatsoever!

"Madam is too kind!" Wei Tingyu stepped forward and gently took Dou Zhao's small hand, then, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, replied with a smile, "To marry Zhao'er is the greatest blessing of my life!"

In this day and age, even married couples should not engage in overly intimate physical contact, such as pulling or tugging at each other, in public places where there are many people around, because it is against etiquette!

However, it was precisely this somewhat "rude" approach that struck a chord with all the women present!

What kind of divinely ordained gentleman is this?! To do something so improper just to support his wife?

Moreover, as a dignified Marquis of Jining, isn't he afraid that if word gets out, other men will laugh at him for being so considerate to his wife?

Dou Zhao was deeply moved. She was a little embarrassed that Wei Tingyu had suddenly taken her hand and instinctively tried to pull it away. But after trying a couple of times, she realized that he had no intention of letting go of her hand, so she gave up struggling.

On the contrary, the warmth coming from her palms made her feel warm all over!

"That's right! That's right!" Wang Yingxue became increasingly embarrassed. After her eyelids twitched, she said, "Shall we go then?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu ignored everyone else and took Dou Zhao's hand, walking directly towards the courtyard.

The remaining women stood dumbfounded behind, staring at the backs of the couple holding hands, completely bewildered.

"Lord Marquis, are you... going to take Dou Zhao's hand and lead her to the courtyard?" Zhao Zhangru blinked, then whispered to Miao Ansu beside him.

"No way! That's too eye-catching... What couple would hold hands in a situation like this?" Miao Ansu replied subconsciously, her eyes fixed on Wei Tingyu's back.

This is the kind of man she has always dreamed of!

"But look, those two don't seem to be letting go at all!" Zhao Zhangru initially thought it was unlikely, but looking at the figures of the two leaving, it seemed not entirely impossible!

"..." Miao Ansu was speechless. At this moment, she felt nothing but envy for Dou Zhao.

"I never expected my brother-in-law to dote on my sister so much!" Dou Ming looked at Wei Tingyu's back with eyes full of stars and admiration.

At this moment, she already had a great liking for Wei Tingyu, but the young girl, who was still clueless about feelings at this age, was not yet aware of it.

"Hmph!" Wang Yingxue gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, her voice filled with jealousy: "Just you wait! If they go into the courtyard like this, they'll only anger your father and fifth uncle! They have no manners at all!"

Of course, Wang Yingxue said it but in her heart she was also very envious of Wei Tingyu's affection for Dou Zhao, because this was exactly what she had been longing for all these years!

"So what if you're angry? Does Master Dou dare to do anything to the Marquis of Jining?" Zhao Zhangru, standing nearby, sneered and mocked Wang Yingxue after hearing her words. Then, ignoring the maddening Wang Yingxue, he grabbed Miao Ansu's hand and ran off after Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Wang Yingxue wanted to fly into a rage, but since the target she could vent her anger on had already left, she could only helplessly swallow her anger.

Chapter 15 This Marquis spoils his wife! Don't like it?!

"Not bad, not bad, they are all young and promising!" Dou Shishu and Dou Shiying, as the patriarchs of the Dou family, were in the courtyard exchanging pleasantries with the young men who were fawning over them.
