He Yi knew, of course, that Lin was afraid that she would stand out during the hunt, after all, she was already very capable. But how could He Yi let Lin have her way?

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm really fine now."

"The county magistrate thinks highly of me, which is why she made an appointment with me. If I don't go, I will be letting her down."

He Yi deliberately told Lin about her relationship with the county princess so that Lin would understand that she was not some helpless wild girl!

Lin's face looked really bad.

Why didn't the male lead say anything in defense?

[That's just the male lead's personality; he doesn't have much affection for his mother, it's just that filial piety holds him back.]

[That makes sense. After all, the male lead suffered a lot as a child, so it's normal for him to dislike the Lin family.]

oh?

He Yi was somewhat surprised when she saw these words. She never expected that Lin Shi would treat Zheng Yutang so well, but treat Zheng Yu so poorly. Why?

Does this mean there is no preference for sons over daughters in this family?

Shouldn't a family's hopes normally rest on its male members? Why is the Lin family so indifferent to Zheng Yu?

At this moment, He Yi also recalled everything she had seen during this period and realized that Zheng Yu was indeed out of place in this family. Many things were not harmonious and were quite strange.

However, now is not the time to investigate this. He Yi quickly got dressed, took Zheng Yu's arm, and walked out together, looking extremely happy.

Standing behind the two, watching them hold hands, Madam Lin's expression turned somewhat gloomy and unpleasant. However, she still followed them. To the outside world, she had to be the most perfect matriarch.

Sometimes I think being a wife is really tough.

Someone like me would probably be exhausted in a day.

I don't understand either. What exactly is the Lin family trying to fight for? What are the many conflicts of interest between her and the female supporting character?

[What nonsense about conflict of interest! It's just insatiable greed. Everything in this house should rightfully belong to the female supporting character!]

[Come on, the female supporting character is an imposter, a complete imposter!]

The comments section erupted into a frenzy, and the subtitles scrolled faster and faster, giving He Yi a headache.

She noticed that during this period, the number of comments on the screen seemed to be increasing, and they were becoming increasingly meaningless, consisting of nonsensical remarks and constant attacks and insults.

What exactly happened?

He Yi leaned against Zheng Yu, carefully observing his expression, and whispered, "Brother, do you also not want me to go hunting?"

"Yeah, I'm worried something might happen to you," Zheng Yu replied casually.

He realized that He Yi would be in danger if she went out, so it would be better for her to stay at home.

[Male lead, your character seems to have collapsed.]

I've also noticed that the male lead always seems to unconsciously show concern for the female supporting character.

When you're just starting to experience romantic feelings, falling for the female supporting character isn't a big deal, as long as you end up living with the female lead.

He Yi felt that the comments on the screen were wrong, because she really couldn't feel that Zheng Yu liked her.

The car arrived at the hunting grounds quickly. He Yi's body had almost recovered; it was just some superficial injuries, nothing serious.

After getting out of the car, she immediately let go of Zheng Yu's arm and walked towards Jiang Shu.

Upon getting closer, I discovered that Zheng Yutang was also there.

Zheng Yutang was furious when she saw He Yi, but she still smiled slightly and winked at Jiang Shu: "See, I told you she would come with her brother. He Yi is so precious to her, he's never been this good to his own sister!"

[As expected, Zheng Yutang has started to exert her strength!]

[While the female lead is currently treating the female supporting character well, this is still based on the principle that she's not competing with the male lead!]

The female lead's possessiveness towards the male lead prevents them from being friends.

He Yi knew that Zheng Yutang would never let this go.

How could she possibly stand by and watch herself actually infiltrate the social circles of the noble families in the capital?

When Jiang Shu looked at He Yi, her eyes also turned cold.

When Yunyu said this to herself before, Jiang Shu thought that she was overthinking it. But now, hearing Zheng Yutang say this, she suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't that Yunyu was overthinking it, but that she had been foolishly thinking too little.

Meeting Jiang Shu's gaze, He Yi knew that Zheng Yutang must have said a lot of bad things about her!

"Heyi, you're here!"

"I thought you weren't coming today. You're here just in time. Come here, Daddy has something to tell you."

Minister Zheng walked over with light steps and waved to He Yi.

Then, he took He Yi's hand and walked gracefully to Gu Minghe.

"You two should get to know each other better."

Minister Zheng chuckled and stared at He Yi.

Well……

Looking at Minister Zheng like this, He Yi couldn't help but wonder if he had lost his memory.

Haven't these two people already known each other? Why do they need to get to know each other again?

He Yi tugged at Minister Zheng's sleeve: "Father, I've seen him several times already."

"We had some misunderstandings before, and I apologize to you."

Gu Minghe stepped forward and bowed to He Yi.

What's going on?

[Haha, the young master got scolded by his elders all night last night!]

[Has this meant they've finally realized their mistake?]

[What do you mean by "repenting"? He's such a rigid person; he's only doing this for the family.]

I see.

He Yi was still wondering why the man who had been so assertive in front of her yesterday seemed like a completely different person today.

So you got scolded when you got home?

Minister Zheng felt that since the two had been engaged since childhood, the marriage should be taken seriously. How could they let it go over such a small matter?

Moreover, Minister Zheng genuinely felt that the Duke's mansion was a good way out.

He smiled at He Yi: "You've just come home, there are many things you don't understand. Don't worry, the young master will get along well with you in the future, and you should also learn to get along well with the young master."

Does this mean you want to bring the two people together?

He Yi was going to refuse, but then she thought that her relationship with Zheng Yu had already aroused Jiang Shu's suspicion, and besides, Zheng Yutang really liked this young master.

Since that's the case, He Yi can't let her have her way.

He Yi stepped forward, smiled at Gu Minghe, then curtsied obediently and said softly, "It was all He Yi's fault before, please don't blame me, young master."

Her yielding attitude caught Gu Minghe off guard.

Gu Minghe simply couldn't understand where this change came from.
