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

Seeing that Li Niangzi and Dou Ming were joking about taking her directly back to the Marquis's mansion, her face immediately turned red.

"What did you say?" Lady Li was taken aback, then glared at her fifth daughter and said, "Your marriage is on the table!"

"I'm not going!" Wu Niang Le Shan shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, her twin ponytails swaying from side to side. She looked incredibly cute, making everyone present burst into laughter.

Because everyone knows that this matter is just something to talk about in the women's section. If they really want Wu Niang to become a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, it will still take some time.

Right now, everyone is just teasing her, but of course, Li Niangzi and Le Shan herself are the most serious.

No one noticed that Li Niangzi's second aunt, Fu Hui, was sitting in the corner of the table, head down, silent and utterly quiet.

Such joy was destined not to belong to her; at least Fifth Sister still had the hope of marrying into the Marquis's mansion, and she was quite happy playing and joking with everyone.

Such a thing would never happen to her! Thinking of this, Fu Hui immediately felt sorry for herself again.

Shouhua, the eldest sister who had noticed her second sister's unusual behavior earlier, quietly moved to her side and gently patted her sister's back.

However, just as she was about to comfort her younger sister, she suddenly saw a figure walking rapidly towards her from outside the pavilion.

This person was none other than the matriarch of the Fan family, Madam Fan, who was also Fu Hui's mother-in-law.

Upon seeing this person arrive, the women in the room immediately shut their mouths and stopped teasing about what had just happened, after all, this Mrs. Fan was not someone they could trust.

If she hears the joke I just made, she might start gossiping behind my back, saying that everyone in the Li family is a toad trying to eat swan meat.

"My dear in-laws! Make sure you eat and drink well!" Madam Fan greeted the women politely, then nodded gently to Fu Hui and said kindly, "Fu Hui! Come here for a moment!"

"Yes, Mother!" Fu Hui paused for a moment, then stood up and followed her mother-in-law out of the pavilion with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why did you call Second Sister away? Is something wrong?" Fourth Sister blinked and asked with a puzzled look.

"It's definitely not going to be anything good!" Third Sister Kang Ning pursed her lips and directly complained.

“Your second sister is, after all, someone else’s wife, and she’s now a member of the Fan family!” Lady Li sighed and said, “Since this is the Fan family’s banquet, it’s only natural for your mother-in-law to ask her, her daughter-in-law, to help out when she’s too busy!”

"Yes! Everyone, there's no need to worry!" Aunt Shouhua nodded and said, "Given the current situation, the Fan family wouldn't dare to mistreat Fu Hui!"

Chapter 97: The Ambiguous Relationship with the Young Married Woman Fu Hui! 1

"Mother! What's wrong?" Fu Hui followed Madam Fan all the way to the main hall, only to suddenly realize that this was where the men's seats were located, and she was immediately stunned.

She was a little confused. Why had her mother-in-law called her to the men's section? Did she expect her to go in and toast these men?

But wouldn't that make the Fan family lose face? Fu Hui was quite puzzled, but she made up her mind that if her mother-in-law really made such a request, she would resolutely refuse!

“Stand here and look, who’s missing from this table?” Madam Fan asked, pursing her lips as she looked at Fu Hui.

"Who's missing from the table?" Fu Hui paused for a moment, then quickly peeked inside.

Wei Tingyu was sitting in the main guest seat, with two maids from the Fan family serving him wine and food.

The surrounding guests fawned over him, but Wei Tingyu remained expressionless, completely unmoved by their flattery.

And my father-in-law is there too... I think those two young masters from before are here too... Who else...?

Fu Hui was startled, only then realizing that her nominal husband, that troublesome brat Fan Lianghan, was not here at the moment!

Oh, right! There's one more person who's not here either, and that's Fan Lianghan's cousin, Chai An!

This person is also attending the banquet today! However, Fu Hui and he don't have much interaction; they've only met a few times and exchanged greetings before.

However, he was also very unhappy with Chai An because this guy was too pretentious!

The Chai family was a member of the former imperial family. The current dynasty has granted them preferential treatment, and their descendants will enjoy lifelong wealth and honor, receiving stipends and support from the imperial court.

Logically speaking, their status should be quite high, but that's only in name.

After all, while the imperial court supported these people with the surname Chai, it also kept a close watch on them! As a result, these descendants of the Chai family had no hope of being promoted to official positions in the imperial court.

Their heads were always in the hands of the imperial court; if they were to cause even the slightest trouble, they could be eliminated immediately.

This is also why the Chai family was able to get involved with the Fan family. After all, in those days, which respectable noble families would be willing to form a marriage alliance with a merchant?

Of course, Wei Tingyu is an exception; he never follows the rules of this world!

This Chai An is also a very pretentious person. Previously, Fu Hui had two quarrels with Fan Lianghan because she was dissatisfied with his behavior. As a result, Chai came to her door and gave her a lecture.

Fu Hui knew in her heart that her nominal husband's current state was largely due to Chai An! When they were out eating, drinking, and having fun, the two of them were always inseparable!

So although Chai An outwardly pretends to be righteous and selfless, he actually has far more ulterior motives than Fan Lianghan! He's just very good at hiding them!

The two cousins ​​aren't in the hall right now, so something must have happened!

"You can see it now, can't you?" Seeing Fu Hui standing there in a daze, Madam Fan immediately nodded and frowned, saying, "As the principal wife of our Fan family, how can you not properly advise your husband?"

"Your husband dares to skip even the formal banquet that the Marquis attends. Does he have no regard for the honor and reputation of the Fan family?"

"Now, we don't know where the eldest son has run off to! And the young master of the Chai family has also disappeared without a trace! It's all because you, as the legal wife, haven't fulfilled your duties!"

"Go find Dalang right now and bring him back to the banquet!"

Madam Fan launched into a barrage of questions at her daughter-in-law, Fu Hui, before turning and leaving with a flick of her sleeve.

"Isn't that your son? He's become so bad now, isn't that the result of your indulgence?" Fu Hui couldn't help but complain in her heart as she watched her mother-in-law leave!

However, she also knew that Madam Fan dared to pin all the blame on herself because she knew that even the Marquis couldn't find fault with her in this matter.

After all, in this world, when a married man makes a mistake, he will always blame his wife for not being virtuous enough.

Don't be fooled by how well the Marquis treats the Li family; he has already married into the Fan family and has no real connection with the Li family anymore.

Besides, the mother-in-law's request for her daughter-in-law to go find her son and bring him back is not unreasonable.

At this moment, Fu Hui felt extremely wronged.

What good would it do to find Fan Lianghan?

I feel disgusted and nauseous just looking at him! He's probably with that pretentious guy Chai An again right now, I wonder what he's up to.

I could have just let it go without seeing him, but my mother-in-law is forcing me to go see him...

Thinking of this, Fu Hui suddenly felt wronged, and her nose tingled as two lines of tears streamed down her face.

However, he didn't want to lose face in front of so many guests, so he quickly turned his head, wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and left the main hall.

Of course, Wei Tingyu, who was sitting in the main seat, saw this whole scene and even heard the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Even as a man, he could empathize with the grievances Fu Hui was feeling! After all, there are just too many eccentric mothers-in-law these days, and daughters-in-law as excellent as He Weifang or Fu Hui are more likely to suffer grievances!

In addition, the Li sisters, Wei Tingyu, were to be taken into the household morning and night. How could she stand by and do nothing while seeing Fu Hui, a young woman, so distressed?

Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu stood up and said goodbye to the people around him, saying that he was too drunk to drink and wanted to go out for a walk.

Other guests who wanted to accompany Wei Tingyu were all turned down by him. In addition, he had been wearing a cold expression throughout the banquet, which led them to believe that this was just his personality.

So no one insisted any further, and the banquet continued happily after Wei Tingyu left.

……

"You can't even control your own good-for-nothing son! Yet you expect me to take care of him?" Fu Hui stood in front of the flower bushes in the courtyard with a wronged expression, plucking off the petals of a flower in her hand one by one as she muttered her complaints.

"If I could control it, I'd rather Fan Lianghan call me 'Mother' from now on!"

"That guy surnamed Chai is no good either! If I go there now, I might get a lecture from him!"

"He always wears that arrogant Chai-style look on his face! It's so annoying!"

...At this moment, Fu Hui was completely unaware that a figure had quietly approached her from behind.

After hearing Fu Hui's complaints, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but laugh.

This girl wasn't much older than her younger sisters. If judged by the standards of the modern world before Wei Tingyu's transmigration, she wouldn't even be old enough to get married.

To put it bluntly, she was still just a young girl! It's just that after she put her hair up in a high bun, she had the responsibility of advising her husband!

But for Fu Hui right now, the responsibility of the Fan family is indeed too heavy!

From behind, Fu Hui's figure appeared very slender, even thin! This inevitably stirred a feeling of pity in Wei Tingyu's heart.

Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu suddenly had the idea to play a prank on her, so he immediately reached out and gently patted Fu Hui's left shoulder, and then moved to her right rear.

Fu Hui subconsciously turned her head to the left, only to find no one there, and immediately felt puzzled. Was it just her imagination?

But before she could react, she suddenly heard a clear cough from her right.

It wasn't a misperception! There really was someone there! Fu Hui was startled, because if her in-laws had heard her complaints, things would have been terrible.

She quickly turned right to right, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Wei Tingyu standing right in front of her.

"Huh?" Fu Hui was startled, because she never dreamed that the Marquis she had been longing for would appear behind her!

The most dangerous thing is that after this unexpected turn, the two were only half a step apart!

Startled, Fu Hui instinctively took a step back, forgetting that there was a low flower bush behind her.

She tripped over the flower bushes, lost her balance, and fell into them!

Of course, Wei Tingyu couldn't let this young woman fall so miserably in front of him, so without saying a word, he stepped forward and put his arm around Fu Hui's slender waist.

In fact, with Wei Tingyu's skills, he could easily have pulled Fu Hui's soft hand and lifted her up with ease.

However, it's clear right now that there's no need to pay attention to these strict rules about gender relations!
