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

"Yes, yes, yes! We should thank the Marquis properly, otherwise wouldn't we be ungrateful?!" Thinking of this, Lady Li nodded quickly, then got up and started pacing around the room.

"But we really don't know how to thank Lord Marquis right now!"

"The families of nobles live in luxury, while our wealth and gold are simply insignificant!"

"Besides, the Marquis might not even want to look at these material possessions, and might even think we're just greedy!"

However, Lady Li had never dealt with nobles before, and she was unsure what these dukes and marquises actually liked.

"Mother! Don't worry!" When she saw Li Niangzi's expression, Aunt Shouhua smiled and stepped forward to stop Li Niangzi, who was still pacing around the room. She said, "It doesn't matter if we don't know, there's still Second Sister, isn't there?"

"Since Second Sister has been staying in the capital for some time now, and her husband's family are business people, they must know the preferences of these noble families. Why don't we just ask her?"

"Oh right! How could I forget about Fu Hui?" Lady Li was taken aback, then nodded with a look of sudden realization. She turned to her second daughter and asked, "Fu Hui! Tell me, what do the nobles and dignitaries in the capital like?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her second daughter, Fu Hui, did not react at all.

The other person remained kneeling there, seemingly lost in thought, as if their mind had wandered to the heavens.

"Fu Hui? Fu Hui?" Lady Li was stunned for a moment. She stepped forward and waved her jade hand in front of her daughter. When she found that there was still no response, she frowned.

"Second Sister!" Fourth Sister Haode quickly stepped forward and gently shook Fu Hui's shoulder, pulling her back to reality from her fantasy.

"Huh?" Fu Hui blinked, looking at her mother who was standing close by with a bewildered expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

She had been completely absorbed in fantasizing about the possibility of marrying Wei Tingyu, and had actually spaced out for a moment? When she realized what was happening, she blushed deeply!

"Second Sister! You actually went on a spiritual journey to the heavens?" Fifth Sister Le Shan was the most lively and outspoken!

She blinked and joked, "Could it be that what I just said has awakened Second Sister, and she's already looking for a good man to remarry?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Upon hearing this, Fu Hui's face turned even redder. She quickly glared at Fifth Sister, who immediately shrank back and stopped talking.

Fu Hui's behavior only made Li Niangzi more puzzled. Could it be that her fifth daughter was right? Was her second daughter now considering remarrying?

However, she was quite understanding of this! After all, the Fan family was indeed not a good in-law family!

To be honest, Li Niangzi really didn't want her daughter to suffer this anger in her husband's family anymore!

But if she really has a husband she wants to remarry, why doesn't she tell her mother? Would her mother possibly harm her?

Moreover, this matter is easier said than done! If the Fan family refuses to divorce, how can the remarriage be discussed?

Of course, it would be possible to do something improper to force the Fan family to divorce his wife, but that would not only ruin the reputation of the second daughter, Fu Hui, but also prevent the other sisters in the Li family from marrying into good families!

Even if she were willing, and her sisters didn't care about her second sister's happiness, given Fu Hui's personality, she would never do such a thing!

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop talking about Second Sister!" At this moment, Third Sister Kang Ning walked forward with a smile and gently helped Fu Hui to her feet. Then, looking at her, she said, "Mother and the sisters were just discussing how we should repay the great kindness we received from the Marquis of Jining's mansion today?"

“That’s right! Even if we wanted to go and express our gratitude, we wouldn’t have the way!” Lady Li quickly nodded and continued, “That’s why I’m asking you what the noble families in the capital like.”

"What do noble families like?" Fu Hui was taken aback; this question stumped her.

Everyone likes money, of course! But these noble families all act aloof and arrogant, like a cool breeze. Bringing money directly to their door would definitely earn you a scornful look!

Of course, beautiful women are something these noblemen all like! But unfortunately, they all have wives at home. If you directly send a beautiful woman to their door, you might please the nobleman, but you'll offend his wife. It's not worth it!

Besides, Fu Hui now harbors some affection for the Marquis of Jining. The thought of sending other beauties to his residence to keep him company makes her feel a little jealous.

"This... I don't know either..." Fu Hui shook her head and said.

However, just as her mother and the other sisters were showing expressions of regret, she spoke up again: "Since Mother wants to know, why don't you ask the Marquis yourself tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Lady Li was taken aback, staring wide-eyed at Fu Hui. She was a little confused; how could she possibly ask the Marquis of Jining in person tomorrow?

"I didn't have a chance to say it yet..." Seeing her mother and sisters' bewildered expressions, Fu Hui smiled and revealed the answer: "Tomorrow, the Marquis's betrothed concubine is going to visit the Fan residence, and the Marquis will accompany her!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Li Niangzi's previously bewildered expression suddenly turned excited, and even her eyes lit up!

"Quickly! Enough said! Everyone, go to bed and rest!"

"You must get a good night's sleep tonight, and you absolutely must not show any signs of fatigue in front of the Marquis tomorrow!"

"Oh right! Quickly take out your best jewelry and hairpins, and your prettiest clothes too, and hang them up so you can wear them tomorrow!"

"Fu Hui, you silly girl! Why didn't you say something so important sooner?! You've made us waste so much time, and it's almost midnight!"

Li Niangzi immediately displayed her decisive and efficient style, bustling about while busying herself. Her daughters looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister, who were completely dumbfounded.

"Alright, alright, stop standing there! If Mother sees you, she'll scold you for being silly!" The eldest sister, Shouhua, was an experienced woman, and she immediately understood what Li Niangzi was doing.

Of course, she herself also hoped that one of her three unmarried sisters would be fortunate enough to enter the Marquis's mansion, so she quickly stepped forward and said to her fourth and fifth sisters.

"Oh!" Haode and Leshan nodded upon hearing this.

Although they didn't quite understand Li Niangzi's plan, for girls of this age, being able to wear beautiful clothes and pretty jewelry was naturally a happy thing.

Only Third Sister Kang Ning frowned slightly, and this instantaneous change in expression was caught by Eldest Sister Shouhua.

"What's wrong, Third Sister?" Shouhua walked up to Kangning again, gently took her hand and asked softly.

“Big sister…” Kang Ning frowned again and asked, “Do you think we women are really born with this fate? Can we only be chosen and not actively pursue our own happiness?”

"..." Shouhua was taken aback. She had always known that among the five sisters, Kangning's ideas were the most unique! Sometimes, she could even be said to be out of step with the other four sisters!

However, her questions are often thought-provoking and soul-searching!

Shouhua spent the first twenty-odd years of her life passively waiting. No matter what decisions she made, others would make them for her. In the end, she returned to her parents' home as a young widow.

"This is the fate of most women in this world!" Shouhua nodded, thinking to herself, "But that doesn't mean your fate is the same!"

"If you are determined to pursue your own happiness, your eldest sister will support you no matter what! I believe that your mother and sisters will not hold you back!"

"But for now, you still have to listen to your mother and not disobey her!"

"After all, how can you be sure that you won't meet the right person you truly love when you're all dressed up tomorrow?"

Shouhua, being the eldest sister, gently and quietly offered words of advice that immediately eased Kang Ning's inner turmoil... She smiled and nodded, then joined her mother and sisters in tidying up.

Looking at her busy mother and sisters, Shouhua felt a pang of melancholy.

At least the younger sisters still have hope and aspirations for their future, unlike me, who is like a walking corpse and will probably be destined to grow old alone!

……

The next morning, a large crowd of people dressed in fine clothes gathered in front of the main gate of the Fan residence, all craning their necks to look towards the entrance of the Hu Cave.

Besides the Fan family members, the Li family mother and daughters had also arrived at the Fan residence.

However, they could not go back to rest first. After all, even if Lady Li was foolish, she would never miss welcoming the Marquis of Jining.

Of course, besides these people, there were also some high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants gathered there. They had all heard that the Marquis of Jining was coming today, so they came specifically to curry favor with him.

In particular, several young noblemen, all from official families, studied at the same private school as Fan Lianghan, the son of the Fan family.

However, these people had always looked down on Fan Lianghan's background and had never visited him out of friendship.

Now that they've all come, it's safe to say that having connections with the Marquis's family is a privilege that even ordinary officials can only dream of, let alone merchant families.

Of course, these young men from official families were not exactly gentlemen either. At this moment, they were gathered together, secretly glancing at the Li family's sisters with sidelong glances.

After all, the women of the Li family were dressed to the nines today, having chosen their best clothes and jewelry!

Even the eldest daughter, Shouhua, a young widow, wore an elegant light pink dress. Combined with her towering hair and stunning looks, she left all the men present speechless with admiration!

This scene certainly couldn't be hidden from Li Niangzi and her daughters!

"These lecherous scoundrels! Their eyes are always darting around!" Wu Niang Le Shan frowned, feeling an itch in her teeth as she muttered under her breath.

"Let me teach them a lesson! Let's see if they dare to dart their eyes around again!" Fourth Sister Haode secretly clenched her little fists.

"My two sisters, don't be rash!" At this moment, Aunt Shouhua quickly tugged at their sleeves and whispered, "We're in front of the Fan residence right now, and there are many people around. Don't let them think that all the women in our Li family are tigresses!"

"But their eyes are so shifty, I hate them!" Wu Niang Le Shan said, feeling unconvinced.

"So what if they're sneaky! They have the will but not the guts!" At this moment, Li Niangzi, who was at the front, spoke up. She still had a smile on her face, but she lowered her voice with her back teeth and said, "The Marquis will be here soon! If he sees you girls with your hair disheveled and fighting with men, I won't let you off the hook!"

As soon as she finished speaking, even her stepmother, Fu Hui, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"These people only dare to look at us; they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble!" Of course, besides laughing, Fu Hui also tried to comfort her two younger sisters: "After all, we are from official families, and our family still has some face! Just think of it as being stared at by wild dogs!"

There's nothing we can do about it! Since we're going to dress up beautifully to welcome the Marquis of Jining, we can't care too much about what other people think!

Otherwise, you can't just blindfold everyone on the street! That would be too domineering!

Besides, those so-called young masters were only whispering a few words and glancing at you with their shifty eyes! You have no proof that they were looking at you!

If you rashly break off relations and start a fight, others will not only think you are a shrew, but they will definitely not stand on your side!

Of course, while Fu Hui offered advice, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

She had never seen these young men before. She had heard that they were classmates with her husband, Fan Lianghan, in the same private school! But it seemed that the school wasn't very good. How could it have produced such shifty-eyed and useless men?

Look at their ridiculous appearance, they're just like my soft-hearted husband, destined for nothing!

Unlike her five daughters, Li Niangzi was quite pleased with herself!

All five of his daughters were beautiful and charming!

After being dressed up, there are now five completely different styles standing here, which is the perfect embodiment of the phrase "graceful and charming"!
