"Although the master dotes on the young lady, she still has to learn proper manners."
"This young lady is already engaged. What if the young master doesn't like her like this?"
Lin stepped forward and spoke with a worried expression, her face full of concern for He Yi's future.
What engagement?
[Oh, right, this vicious female supporting character is also engaged to the young master of the Duke's mansion!]
How could the young master possibly like her?
[What's wrong with the young master? He's just a tool for the family's interests. As long as it benefits the family, he'd be willing to be anything, even a pig, let alone a vicious female supporting character.]
Through these words, He Yi finally understood that Minister Zheng was truly good to this daughter, having arranged a marriage with the Duke's family long ago.
Unfortunately, his daughter was already dead, and now it was He Yi who was here. Even more unfortunately, He Yi had no interest in any young master and only wanted to cling to Zheng Yu's coattails.
However, she was a little curious: with such a good marriage arrangement, how did it end up being hers?
She glanced at Lin's face discreetly and noticed that Lin's expression was basically one of gritted teeth when she mentioned the marriage.
It turns out that the reason she targeted a young girl who was only a few years old was not only to usurp the place, but also for the sake of this marriage.
It was obvious that she had her eye on the Duke's mansion.
He Yi didn't care about the young master, but she was happy as long as Madam Lin was unhappy.
"Father, what kind of engagement is it?"
"Am I...am I getting married soon?"
"Father, I don't want to get married. I can't bear to leave you."
He Yi immediately grabbed Zheng Shangshu's arm, looked at him pitifully, and tears welled up in her eyes, about to fall.
Seeing his daughter like this, Minister Zheng felt a surge of tenderness in his heart and gently wiped away He Yi's tears.
"Heyi, be good. Gu Minghe will be coming to the grand banquet. If you like him, you can get married in a few years. But if you don't like him, your father will call off the engagement!"
Minister Zheng spoke with great confidence and conviction.
What?
Madam Lin knew that Minister Zheng doted on this daughter, but she never expected him to be so shameless.
Are marriages arranged by the Duke's family so casually that they can be decided on one day and rejected on the other?
It seems this little girl is more complicated than she thought; it's better to kill her sooner rather than later.
"Father, I don't care about any young talents. I've finally come back, and I just want to stay by your side. I don't want to get married!"
As He Yi spoke, she leaned against Minister Zheng's shoulder and began to act coquettishly.
Even if we take a step back and say this is the best we can hope for, it's a picture of peace and tranquility.
[Actually, if the female supporting character had always been like this, life could have continued peacefully. It's a pity, though; unfortunately, she's inherently malicious and ungrateful.]
[If it weren't for this young master's blind love for Zheng Yutang, causing the female supporting character to lose her marriage and become the laughingstock of the whole city, she probably wouldn't have turned evil and ended up spending so much time in men's beds, right?]
What the heck? Her fiancé was stolen by Zheng Yutang?
Although He Yi didn't like this fiancé she had never met, she certainly couldn't give up what originally belonged to her!
Competition inspires people to strive, and He Yi, who was initially indifferent to the matter, suddenly became excited.
A slight smile played on her lips. She then hooked her arm around Minister Zheng's and whispered, "Father, do I really not need to follow the rules on the day of the grand banquet?"
"As long as it's not embarrassing, it's fine."
Minister Zheng smiled slightly, his expression full of affection.
Lin felt a bit annoyed by the scene. She gritted her teeth, gave Liu Mama a look, and then turned and walked outside.
"How did you handle this?"
Madam Lin looked at Granny Liu with displeasure.
"Madam, please calm down. I have done my best, but this young lady seems to be in a real hurry to learn etiquette. Could it be that she is trying to seduce the young master?"
Granny Liu stepped forward and lowered her voice.
"Madam, we can make way for other things, but marriage is a woman's lifelong commitment, so do you think we should use some methods?"
Upon hearing this, Lin's eyes turned fierce.
"No one can stand in Yu Tang's way."
Lin squeezed out those words through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.
She's just a lowly girl. She thinks she can overturn all the years of her hard work? Dream on!
He Yi took Zheng Shangshu's hand and began to choose clothes.
"Father, look! These are all things that Madam sent me. They're so colorful and pretty!"
"Back when I lived in the countryside, only matchmakers could wear such beautiful clothes!"
He Yi was innocent and naive, but every word she spoke pierced Zheng Shangshu's heart.
Even though Minister Zheng was a man from the front courtyard, he could still tell that these gaudy clothes were absolutely unsuitable for He Yi.
His expression changed, and he snatched the clothes from He Yi's hands, saying, "These clothes don't suit you. Daddy will take you to buy new ones!"
"Father, these clothes were all picked out for me by Madam. If I don't like them, Madam will be sad."
“I know that Madam has been unhappy ever since I came back, and I don’t want to make things difficult for Father.”
"In the end, it's all my fault. Maybe I shouldn't have come back, but Father, I can't bear to leave you. I think about you every day."
As He Yi spoke, tears began to fall.
