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

"When will he be back?" The maid of the Li family was extremely embarrassed at this moment, but thinking about the life in the future, she could only brace herself and continue to ask with a flattering look.

"He usually spends his midday hours at the Sang family's entertainment district! And he even has nightclubs in the evening..." The Fan family's maidservant said with a half-smile, "I wonder how long he'll be killing time?"

Meanwhile, all of Li's daughters had gotten off the oxcart and stood in a row watching the old servant woman negotiate with the Fan family.

At this time, the Li family had another young and beautiful girl among their four daughters. This girl was named Qiongnu, and she was the Li family's adopted daughter who had been raised from childhood.

She had been riding in a smaller donkey cart behind the oxcart with the servant woman from the Li family who had spoken.

"What's wrong? What does this mean?" These young girls, unfamiliar with social etiquette, stood there bewildered, muttering to themselves.

Only Aunt Shouhua looked serious. After all, she had suffered a lot of ridicule and cold treatment in her husband's family where her son had died. Of course, she understood what her second sister's husband's family meant at this moment!

"Then I'll trouble you to make another trip and tell my second mistress to come out and greet her!" The Li family's servant had no other choice but to plead repeatedly...

Normally, the Li family wouldn't need to ask for help with this. Since the mother and younger sister had come, the second aunt, Fu Hui, should have come out to greet them. However, the servants of the Fan family were clearly unwilling to even announce their arrival.

"My lady went to make offerings at the Xiangguo Temple's vegetarian feast!" The servant woman from the Fan family didn't even bother to pretend anymore, and her expression turned impatient: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, my lady. Please come another day!"

The smile on Li Niangzi's face froze. How could she not understand the situation now?

As a woman who lost her husband more than a decade ago, how much exclusion and contempt did she endure within her family while raising five daughters? If she hadn't become more assertive, she probably would have been bullied to death long ago!

Now, I never expected to be treated so coldly at my son-in-law's doorstep. It's truly a cold and indifferent world!

However, although Lady Li was fiery, she knew when to lash out and when to be patient. Now that her entire family of five, including herself, had come to seek refuge with her in-laws, it wasn't the time to throw a tantrum!

She forced a smile and said, "Okay! Okay!"

Then, with a swift turn, he said to his daughters, "Go back!"

"Sweep this up!" The servant woman from the Fan household, seeing that she had successfully shown off and driven away her husband's mother-in-law and her entourage, became even more smug. A quick glance revealed the cow dung under the oxcart, and she loudly addressed the servant beside her, "Whose eyes are you getting in the way of?!"

However, before the servants of the Fan family could react, Li Niangzi, who had already walked to the oxcart, suddenly turned around and strode towards the gossipy servant from the Fan family.

Before the other party could say anything, Li Niangzi raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face!

The force and the sound of that palm strike were so great that they startled a flock of birds in the trees in the alley into flight!

Even Li Niangzi's daughters were startled by their mother's action and stood frozen in place.

"My dear in-laws, what is this...?" But this servant was quite something; after being slapped across the face, she immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Lady Li before asking.

In her view, Li Niangzi's family had fallen on hard times and now had no assets left in Dongdu. All their money had been taken to the capital to seek refuge with her Fan family.

So no matter how much I neglected or ridiculed them, they would never dare to show their dissatisfaction.

However, to his surprise, this woman was so fierce that she actually slapped him in public!

However, it was just that one slap. Although the servant woman from the Fan family felt pain on her face, she wasn't particularly flustered.

After all, he wasn't a servant of the Li family, so it wasn't up to Lady Li to deal with him.

This slap might very well anger the Fan family patriarch and matriarch. If that happens, the Li family's plan to seek refuge with the Fan family will be completely ruined.

When the time comes, your act of beating someone else's servants on your own initiative can be used as an excuse to refuse to take you in! Even if outsiders hear about it, they won't say that the Fan family is heartless.

Thinking of this, the servant woman of the Fan family felt a surge of pride! If her master and mistress found out, she might even receive a reward!

When Li Niangzi saw the expression in the servant woman's eyes, she was immediately stunned. Only then did she realize that she might have been a bit too impulsive! This slap might really have offended the Fan family!

Although this servant woman was of low status, she was still a member of the Fan family! It seemed indeed unreasonable for him to bypass his master and slap her directly!

If he had previously owned land and houses in Dongdu, the Fan family might have tolerated him a little more in order to maintain relations between the two families...

But now things are completely different!

The Li family, including the mother and daughters, were like rootless duckweed; how could they possibly earn the favor of the Fan family?

But now that this has happened, we can't possibly apologize to this wicked servant, can we?! Wouldn't that make our entire Li family even more despised?!

Just as Li Niangzi was caught in a dilemma, she suddenly heard a sharp rebuke from behind!

"Well done!" This voice startled Li Niangzi, because she was very familiar with the voice!

The others present were naturally drawn to the arrogant rebuke, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a luxurious carriage drawn by two tall, fine horses parked not far away.

Beside the carriage stood two richly dressed women, accompanied by several maids and servants, as well as several valiant female guards holding swords. Their status was clearly extraordinary!

The woman at the head of the group was in her early thirties and had her hair styled in a high bun, indicating that she was a married woman.

Beside her was a beautifully dressed girl who bore a resemblance to her, who was affectionately supporting her arm.

They are clearly a mother and daughter!

Chapter 91 The Indignation of the Li Family Mother and Daughter!

Why would such a distinguished mother and daughter suddenly wander into this alley to watch the commotion? Everyone present was completely baffled, except for one person…

"Yingxue!" Li Niangzi subconsciously rubbed her eyes, and after confirming that she hadn't seen wrong, she immediately shouted and ran over.

You see, besides staying with her married second daughter, the person she missed most when she came to the capital was Wang Yingxue, her childhood friend! The two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and although they had matured a lot, she still recognized her at a glance!

Wasn't Wang Yingxue the same? Seeing Li Niangzi rushing towards her, she didn't hesitate and jogged to meet her, temporarily abandoning her previous dignified demeanor…

This scene left Dou Ming speechless! Her mother had never lost her composure like this before. It seemed that the woman in front of her was truly her mother's closest friend!

"As soon as I arrived in the capital, I went to your residence to bother you! But I heard that you went to your estate in the suburbs, so I asked your servants to bring you a letter!" When Li Niangzi saw her best friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

She had so many grievances and heartaches to tell her best friend about along the way!

"I know! I know!" Wang Yingxue nodded repeatedly to comfort her best friend, "I was overjoyed when I received the letter! We just passed through this alley, and I recognized your silhouette at a glance, so I immediately stopped the Hou Mansion's carriage to come and look for you!"

"Yes! I knew you wouldn't forget me!" Li Niangzi nodded, grinning happily. But after only a couple of seconds, she suddenly realized something was off.

What did Wang Yingxue just say?

The Marquis's carriage?

What does this mean?

Li Niangzi blinked and stared at Wang Yingxue for a long time before her gaze passed over her and went to the tall carriage behind them.

Wang Yingxue's words were naturally heard by those around her.

They all thought of the same question at the same time, and their eyes were all focused on the carriage behind them.

Such a luxurious carriage is certainly not something that ordinary wealthy families can afford! It must belong to a noble or ducal family!

Moreover, with so many guards around him, he must be a very important person!

"Come, come! Ming'er, come quickly to meet your Aunt Li!" Wang Yingxue didn't react at first, but waved to Dou Ming behind her and said, "This is my daughter, Dou Ming, whom I mentioned in my letter to you before!"

"Oh! It's Ming'er!" Li Niangzi was taken aback. She glanced at Dou Ming from head to toe and found the girl to be dignified, poised, and graceful. Moreover, the way she walked was full of ladylike charm. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her!

It's a pity about the four girls around him. Apart from his eldest daughter, Shouhua, the other three are all mischievous and naughty. None of them have Dou Ming's refined and intelligent temperament.

"Ming'er greets Aunt Li!" Dou Ming bowed respectfully to Madam Li.

"Shouhua! Kangning! Haode! Leshan! And Qiongnu! Come and greet your Aunt Wang!" After seeing how well-behaved Dou Ming was, Lady Li naturally called over her daughter and adopted daughter as well.

However, although her daughters are mischievous, they are still quite capable in this situation!

When they were helping Wang Yingxue with her luggage, each one of them was more obedient than the last, which pleased Li Niangzi quite a bit!

Wang Yingxue also had a keen eye; she knew that the three youngest daughters of the Li family were only young because of their age.

Given more time and a better understanding of etiquette, each of them would surely be worthy of being a good wife in a wealthy family!

"What's the story behind the carriage from the Marquis's residence that you mentioned? When did you become related to the Marquis's family?" Of course, after the two women finished exchanging pleasantries, Li Niangzi immediately pulled Wang Yingxue to her side and asked in a low voice.

When she asked this question, everyone around her pricked up their ears, after all, this was big gossip!

"My eldest daughter, Zhao'er, has married the Marquis of Jining!" Wang Yingxue was naturally quite proud when she mentioned this, and she smiled as she waved her fan.

"Married to the Marquis of Jining?" Lady Li was stunned when she heard this, after all, she dreamed of finding a good husband for her daughter!

To be able to enter the Marquis's mansion is truly amazing!

When Li Niangzi first learned that Wang Yingxue had married into the Dou family, she was a little envious for a while. After all, the official family was naturally different from the merchant family she had married into.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yingxue's eldest daughter went even further, marrying directly into a noble family! She truly climbed the social ladder step by step!

"Is she...the principal wife?" Of course, Lady Li asked again to confirm, since there was a big difference between a wife and a concubine.

"Of course, she's the legal wife!" Wang Yingxue knew her best friend wasn't jealous, but just had this straightforward personality, so she smiled and nodded, saying, "Otherwise, how would I be qualified to ride in the Marquis's carriage!"

Good heavens! Li Niangzi was even more shocked when she heard this!

That's right! Look at the magnificent horses and luxurious carriages behind them, and the dashing female guards following them. It's definitely not a lie that Wang Yingxue made up to deceive me.

"You're so lucky! Even your biological daughter is married so well. What about your own daughter? Isn't she..."

“My Ming’er doesn’t have the same good fortune as her sister!” Wang Yingxue smiled slightly and said with an embarrassed expression, “But fortunately, the Marquis has taken a liking to her, and in a few days she will also enter the Marquis’s mansion as a concubine!”

"Huh?" Li Niangzi was taken aback at first, but then she felt that it seemed to make some sense.

After all, the status of a concubine is acceptable! Especially in the Marquis's mansion where her own elder sister is the eldest wife, wouldn't she have more protection?

The two sisters can help each other in the mansion, and my best friend's plan seems pretty good!

Of course, the premise is that this noble family must be reliable! Otherwise, putting all your eggs in one basket is never a safe bet!

But this also opened up a new possibility in Li Niangzi's mind: if her daughters really met men they could entrust their lives to, it wouldn't be impossible to marry two of them to the same man!
