Ugh?
He Yi was originally troubled by the lack of evidence, but the comments helped her a lot.
She looked at Gu Minghe with teary eyes: "Young Master, I know I grew up in the countryside and am not good enough for you, but you can't go past me and have an affair with my sister. If you don't like her, you can just say so. After our engagement is broken off, you can propose to my sister again, can't you?"
As she spoke, He Yi's tears fell and landed directly on Minister Zheng.
"presumptuous!"
"Young Master, is this how your Duke's Mansion bullies people?!"
"If you don't like my house, just say so!"
Seeing his daughter suffer such a great injustice, Minister Zheng's expression immediately changed.
"Heyi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"What do you mean by 'secretly exchanging gifts'? Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
Zheng Yutang could no longer bear it, so she strode forward, pointed at He Yi's nose, and questioned her.
"If there was no secret exchange, then how could the purse at the young master's waist be your needle and thread?"
"How can an unmarried woman easily give her needlework to a man from another family?"
He Yi remained clear-headed and pointed to the purse at Gu Minghe's waist.
What? How did the villainous female supporting character know this?
Yes, this is a very private matter. Just how many spies did the female supporting character plant around her?
[It's all over, it's all over. Now, even if the young master and Zheng Yutang jumped into the Yellow River, they wouldn't be able to clear their names.]
[It's simply a fact; what's there to whitewash?]
The comments section was flooded with questions about He Yi.
"You! A young lady's reputation is precious, Miss, please watch your words!"
The Lin family was now truly panicked.
Although she really wanted Zheng Yutang to marry Gu Minghe, that was definitely not the case!
Lin took a deep breath, stepped forward, took He Yi's hand, and said, "I know your sister offended you with some hurtful words, but you can't slander her like this, can you? It's perfectly normal for sisters to quarrel and bicker; you shouldn't so readily tarnish your sister's reputation!"
Lin spoke earnestly and patiently, even wiping away tears with a sense of grievance.
Minister Zheng ignored all of that and just looked at Gu Minghe: "Where did you get the purse at your waist?"
"yes……"
Gu Minghe glanced down, somewhat troubled. If he told the truth at this moment, it would definitely implicate Zheng Yutang. But if he lied, he would be exposed, which would only make him look like he was trying to hide something.
The relationship between the two people was clearly innocent, but it was brought up at this particular time, making it impossible to explain themselves.
"Why make things difficult for the young master? Just have the old woman from the house come and take a look, and we'll know whose needle and thread it is."
He Yi remained nestled against Minister Zheng's chest, murmuring softly.
When did this villainous female supporting character grow a brain?
[I must say, the female supporting character did a fantastic job!]
[Fighting erupts, fighting erupts, everyone's in complete chaos, but my heroine can enjoy this moment while it's hot!]
The female lead will be coming to offer her help soon; hopefully, the female supporting character won't be ungrateful.
Before Gu Minghe could figure out how to explain, Jiang Shu walked over, with a maid behind her holding a box of old ginseng.
"Is the young lady alright?"
Jiang Shu smiled and sat down next to He Yi.
For some reason, He Yi had a feeling that this woman was up to no good.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Shu sat down, she smiled at Gu Minghe and said, "What's going on? Hey? Isn't this the prize from our polo game last time? You really like it so much that you've been wearing it with you the whole time?"
"Isn't this Yutang's needle and thread?"
Minister Zheng frowned slightly, feeling as if something was amiss.
"That's right, it was indeed the second young lady's needle and thread. I even begged her for a long time before she finally sewed one for me."
"I just didn't expect that the young master would be so fortunate as to give it to him."
Jiang Shu spoke very naturally.
Wow, our female lead is amazing!
[Yes, you can tell a lot just by looking at the female lead. I think she's just jealous.]
[Of course! After all, the female lead fell in love with the male lead at first sight. Haha, male lead, just accept your fate, you're destined to be the female lead!]
He Yi was about to succeed, but she never expected that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere. She knew very well that the reason Jiang Shu stood up to protect the two of them at this time was because she was afraid that the wedding would disappear. After all, she would treat all women as her imaginary enemies!
This explanation was flawless, and since Zheng Yutang was, after all, a child of the Zheng family, it would be bad for everyone if her reputation were ruined. Minister Zheng did not pursue the matter further, but simply gave Lin a deep look.
Madam Lin immediately understood, and pulled Zheng Yutang aside, saying in an annoyed tone, "What's wrong with you, child? Why didn't you say something earlier? You can't do this again. You're not married yet. What if people misunderstand? Even if you have a hundred mouths, you won't be able to explain yourself!"
Seeing that her advantage was about to disappear, He Yi knew that she should not continue to entangle herself. She took a deep breath, then rolled her eyes and fainted in Zheng Shangshu's arms.
Minister Zheng was startled and reached out to touch He Yi's forehead; it was indeed already burning hot.
"Physician, come quickly, He Yi has a fever."
"You all go out and let the doctor treat you properly!"
Minister Zheng's face darkened, and he immediately ordered the guests to leave.
The matter of the engagement is no small matter, so Minister Zheng cannot make a decision at this time. He should wait until He Yi wakes up and ask her for her thoughts before making a decision.
Everyone stood up and walked outside, and the room immediately became quiet.
[Wait, why isn't the male lead leaving?]
[The male lead is still wearing wet clothes, and he's just standing there guarding the female supporting character?]
The female lead walks right past him every time she comes in or out, and he doesn't even glance at her. Wait, what's going on? Can anyone explain this?!
The comments scrolled wildly again, and even with He Yi's eyes closed, the words seemed to be a curse, clinging to her relentlessly.
He Yi was troubled. She had underestimated the Lin family before, and now they had seized the opportunity to turn the tables on her. But this time it was all because of that Jiang Shu!
She's definitely not that simple!
He Yi's face was terribly gloomy. She was determined to trample this woman underfoot. The woman by Zheng Yu's side could only be her!
To the so-called "viewers" in the comments section, this is just a fictional character from a storybook, but to He Yi, this is her life, her most real life.
After the physician's diagnosis, he only said that He Yi had been exposed to cold and needed to rest and recuperate. He also prescribed a lot of tonics, saying that He Yi's body was weak and needed to take more tonics.
Minister Zheng doted on this daughter to the core, so with a wave of his hand, he directly ordered that any medicine, no matter how expensive, was acceptable.
