He Yi stood gracefully, blinking her eyes at Minister Zheng: "Father, is it beautiful?"
The girl's clear eyes were filled with timidity.
Minister Zheng's heart melted: "Beautiful, my Heyi is incredibly beautiful, just like your mother!"
Lin's smile was almost impossible to maintain.
To be honest, this little beggar's features do resemble Minister Zheng's somewhat. Could she really be Minister Zheng's daughter?
wrong.
Regardless of whether she is or isn't, she can only be not.
She wouldn't let someone who was already dead take away the love her daughter had finally earned.
"Heyi is so beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was a child."
Lin stepped forward with a fake smile: "When Heyi was little, her face was like a goose egg. Now that she's grown into a young lady, her chin has become even more pointed."
He Yi replied simply, "I'm hungry."
Lin pulled her to sit down: "Then you must eat more in the future. I still think your round face looked better before."
"By the way, do you remember how you got lost?"
Minister Zheng hurriedly followed up with, "Yes, how exactly did you get lost? Your father has been searching for so many years without finding a single clue. Where exactly did you end up?"
He Yi chuckled inwardly.
Lin is trying to trick her.
Fortunately, she had access to the live chat; she knew more about the jade pendant's owner, 'Sui'er,' than Sui'er herself did.
"My daughter only vaguely remembers what happened at the time."
He Yi pretended to recall: "My daughter only remembers that when our family followed her father on a salt inspection tour, we stopped in the Huainan area that night. I noticed a lot of water under the boat that was glowing blue, so I lay down there to look."
"As I was watching, I was suddenly hit on the back with a club, and I don't know what happened after that."
He Yi shrank back, looking frightened: "When my daughter woke up, she found herself on a cargo ship. At that time, my daughter had lost her memory and didn't know who she was. She could only follow the people on the ship."
That night, a group of vicious bandits robbed the ship. The daughter escaped by jumping into the sea with her adoptive parents. Later, she went to Yecheng with her adoptive parents.
Lin was already terrified when she heard He Yi talk about what happened on the deck, and she was convinced that He Yi was really Minister Zheng's daughter.
Because it was she who had struck her on the head with a club.
Minister Zheng astutely grasped the key point: "You were hit over the head with a club?"
He Yi nodded: "Yes, Father, I was only seven years old at the time, and I didn't offend anyone. Who wanted to kill me?"
Her innocent words, when they reached Madam Lin's ears, were like a death knell, sending chills down her spine.
Minister Zheng slammed his fist on the table: "Once I find out who harmed you, I will tear them to pieces!"
Lin felt a chill run down her neck.
She gave a dry laugh: "There were not only us on the ship at the time, but also many officials who went with us, so it might be difficult to investigate."
"But those people don't recognize me, so why would they want to harm me?"
He Yi looked at Lin Shi and said with a deep gaze, "Only those who have a conflict of interest with me would kill me, wouldn't they?"
Lin's heart skipped a beat.
There's something off about that little vixen's eyes; it's like she knows something.
Minister Zheng nodded, agreeing with He Yi's statement.
A maidservant came in to report: "Master, Madam, the eldest son has returned."
Minister Zheng hurriedly said, "Yu'er is back? Perfect! Tell him to come over and say that his sister has been found."
"yes."
The maidservant curtsied and withdrew.
"Do you still remember your older brother who came with your mother? When you were little, you loved to pester him to play with you the most, your brother Yu."
Minister Zheng gently inquired about He Yi.
He Yi felt a chill.
Brother Yu.
That name is truly disgusting.
While inwardly complaining, He Yi showed no sign on her face: "I remember, Brother Yu made me a small windmill, but unfortunately I lost it later."
Minister Zheng nodded with a smile: "Over the years, your brother Yu has traveled all over the country, always looking for you. He is the one in our family who most wants you to come back."
Lin tried her best to minimize her presence.
Now she no longer doubts He Yi, and her mind is filled with only one thought: to get rid of her.
"The eldest young master has arrived!"
A maid's sweet, excited voice came from outside.
"Um."
A deep, resonant voice followed.
The most perfect male lead in history is about to make his appearance!
[Jung Yu! Waaaaah! My favorite male lead is finally here! The most perfect Jung Yu in the world!!]
[No time to mourn the villainous female supporting character. Next up is Zheng Yu, a brilliant and exceptionally talented scholar who single-handedly annihilated 10,000 enemy troops, rescued the crown prince in a surprise attack, initiated reforms, created the "Employment of Peace and Prosperity," founded the Yu family, and is a powerful minister whose name will be etched in history!]
What is a male lead? This is what a male lead should be! From now on, all male leads should be judged by this standard!
He Yi was stunned by the introduction in the bullet comments.
She stared intently at the words "a powerful minister of his generation," her eyes shining as she looked toward the door.
The next moment.
A tall, upright figure stepped in.
He Yi opened her eyes wide.
The man had sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, a straight nose, thin lips that were slightly pursed, and a strong, handsome jawline.
His scarlet official robes made his skin look as white as snow, and his indifferent eyes added to his handsome appearance. His appearance was like the blazing sun, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
He Yi held his breath.
She had never seen such a handsome man!
In particular, his refined and aloof demeanor in every gesture made him seem like a god who had mistakenly descended to the mortal realm, even eclipsing the moon in the sky.
