[Speaking of which, this young master is quite handsome!]
[So what if he's pretty? He still dumped his fiancée for her sister. Men are just despicable!]
[That's not entirely true. The villainous female supporting character isn't the original heiress; she's an imposter.]
Amidst the uproar in the live chat, He Yi finally understood that Gu Minghe liked Zheng Yutang, not her, and might even break off the engagement because of it.
He Yi looked at Gu Minghe. This man was tall and handsome, especially his captivating peach blossom eyes.
However, He Yi didn't really care about this clueless guy; she just needed to cling to the male lead's leg.
When Madam Lin saw the Duchess arrive with the young master, she immediately pulled Zheng Yutang forward, smiling broadly: "The Duchess has arrived?"
"Um."
The Duchess looked past Zheng Yutang and towards He Yi.
The Duchess originally didn't want to come to today's banquet, but upon hearing that the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, her future daughter-in-law, had returned, she eagerly brought her son over so that the two children could meet.
Given the status of the Minister's family, they were not a good match for the Duke's family. However, the first wife and the Duke's wife were very close friends. Before she died, the first wife was worried about her daughter and arranged this marriage in order to entrust her to the family.
"Heyi, come here quickly and greet the Duchess."
After noticing the Duchess's gaze, Madam Lin immediately smiled and waved to He Yi.
Today, she wanted He Yi to lose face in front of the Duchess and completely lose the favor of her future mother-in-law. Only in this way could her daughter possibly take her place.
He Yi had already figured out this person's true purpose through the comments, so why would she let her have her way?
She quickly stepped forward, bowed to the Duchess, and said politely, "Greetings, Duchess."
His movements were precise and his expression natural. Even though he wasn't a child raised in the Minister's mansion, he still couldn't hide his air of authority.
The moment the Duchess saw He Yi, her eyes reddened slightly, and she whispered, "Child, do you know that you look exactly like your mother? Seeing you reminds me of her!"
As she spoke, the Duchess took He Yi's hand and asked her with concern, "How have you been these past years?"
"It was a bit tough before, but now it's all better."
"My father loved me very much."
He Yi smiled slightly, deliberately speaking vaguely about her past and deliberately avoiding mentioning the Lin family.
She knew that the Lin family had a good reputation, and if she spoke too clearly, she would definitely suffer a loss.
However, this kind of hiding only fuels people's imaginations.
The female supporting character looks really good now.
"What's so good about it? Lin's molars are practically grinding to powder."
[This is nothing. The way Zheng Yutang and Gu Minghe are exchanging glances now... I think the female supporting character's marriage is doomed.]
Looking at the comments on the screen, He Yi also looked in Gu Minghe's direction and saw that his gaze was fixed on Zheng Yutang.
The Duchess also realized what was happening at this moment. Her expression changed, she coughed, and said, "He'er, come here."
Gu Minghe composed himself and walked over, bowing to the Duchess: "Mother."
"This is Sui'er, your fiancée. Come and meet her."
The Duchess directly acknowledged He Yi's identity in front of everyone.
He Yi held the Duchess's hand, winked sweetly at Gu Minghe, and then bowed: "He Yi greets Young Master!"
"Hello, Heyi."
Gu Minghe cupped his hands in greeting, his expression blank, merely looking at He Yi coldly. Clearly, he had no interest in this so-called fiancée.
As expected, the young master doesn't like the female supporting character at all.
If the young master had married the female supporting character according to the marriage agreement, perhaps none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
[Is the young master such a despicable person? Why would he like an imposter?]
The comments section is arguing again. Sometimes, He Yi really wants to know how to get rid of these unlucky things.
They always pop up at crucial moments to cause trouble.
He Yi didn't say much to Gu Minghe, but just kept talking to the Duchess. She knew that the Duchess was her mother's best friend, so she kept pulling her to ask about her mother's past. Her red eyes and cautious manner made her look just like a little rabbit, which was heartbreaking to see.
In just a few words, the Duchess had already taken a liking to this sensible little girl, and her gaze towards He Yi was somewhat different.
This change was something Lin never expected. The reason she went to such great lengths to make such a grand spectacle was to disrupt the wedding and to leave He Yi with a vulgar impression so that she would never find a good husband.
But to everyone's surprise, He Yi was so polite and adept at social interaction. In just a short while, she became one of the Duchess and these noble ladies. She was truly cunning!
Watching her move freely among these noble ladies, Madam Lin's face darkened horribly.
Zheng Yutang, unable to contain herself any longer, tugged at Lin Shi's sleeve: "Mother! Is this what you meant..."
"Shut up, don't lose your temper, there are so many people here."
Lin was older, so she was relatively calm. Although she felt short of breath in the face of this scene, she knew that she had to maintain her composure in this situation, otherwise she would be the one to lose face.
"Princess Shule has arrived!"
[Here she comes! The female lead is here!]
[Oh my god, the female lead has finally arrived!]
[Hurry up, male lead, come and welcome your future wife!]
The barrage of comments went wild, and He Yi also looked towards the doorway.
Just as the comments said, she was noble and elegant, stunningly beautiful, and every gesture exuded grace, truly captivating at first glance.
This is Jiang Shu, the only daughter of the eldest princess, a noble lady among noble ladies, the cream of the crop, and the one who is showered with love and affection!
The female lead is the female lead; her presence is truly exceptional, radiating brilliance from the moment she appears.
"Princess Shule's presence is truly an honor to our Minister's residence!"
Mrs. Lin greeted them with a big smile.
He Yi also focused her attention on Zheng Yu.
These two are the so-called official couple!
Looking into Zheng Yu's eyes, she noticed that the boy's gaze had indeed widened considerably the moment he saw Jiang Shu; he was clearly stunned.
