He looked at He Yi warily and said in a low voice, "No need to be so polite. Since it's all a misunderstanding, just forget about it."
"Young Master is speaking to me so politely now, so he must be planning to get engaged to me. So, what about my purse, little sister?" He Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Minghe.
Her meaning was clear: although the Zheng family had two daughters, Gu Minghe could only choose one of them.
Gu Minghe wasn't stupid; how could he not understand what she meant?
Without any hesitation, he took the purse from his waist and handed it to Zheng Yutang, who was watching from the side.
"Second Miss, thank you for your kindness, but it is really inconvenient for men and women to be so close."
"I am already engaged, so please show some respect, Miss."
Gu Minghe's words were reasonable, but it was precisely because of his businesslike attitude that Zheng Yutang was deeply hurt!
Zheng Yutang never expected that all her past interactions with Gu Minghe would end up with such a comment.
What does it mean to respect oneself? What does it mean for men and women to not touch each other?
Aren't they mutually in love?
[Zheng Yutang is such a fool, could she really have fallen in love with the young master?]
If it's just a matter of mutual benefit, that's fine. But if feelings develop, then she's made a foolish mistake.
Gu Minghe only cares about his family; he has no self-interest, and no emotions whatsoever.
Poor thing.
Zheng Yutang took the purse, tears streaming down her face: "Yes, it was all just wishful thinking on my part. Since the young master likes my sister, then I wish you both a long and happy life together!"
Seeing Zheng Yutang's expression, He Yi knew that she was using a feigned retreat to advance, so she looked directly at Gu Minghe.
I originally thought that the two of them had some feelings for each other, but I never expected that Gu Minghe would be unmoved by the beautiful scene of pear blossoms in the rain. In other words, this man never liked Zheng Yutang at all.
The reason I dated Zheng Yutang before was only for the sake of marriage, for a political alliance, and for the sake of my family.
How pitiful.
He Yi felt sorry for Zheng Yutang, but her body betrayed her. She walked directly to Gu Minghe's side, affectionately took his arm, and smiled at Zheng Yutang.
“We were betrothed when we were young. He’s your brother-in-law, so it’s only right that he dotes on you.”
"Thank you for your blessings, we will definitely live a good life together!"
this……
Zheng Yutang looked up, staring in disbelief at the two people's clasped hands, completely dumbfounded.
She never expected that He Yi would agree to the marriage so quickly, nor did she expect that He Yi would say such shameless things in front of her.
"You! How dare you!"
Do you know what you're saying?
Enraged, Zheng Yutang stepped forward and ripped He Yi's arm away.
He Yi winced in pain and let out a muffled groan of grievance.
"Father?"
Minister Zheng, who had witnessed the entire process, walked over unhappily and frowned at Zheng Yutang.
What nonsense are you talking about?
"Father!"
For the first time, Zheng Yutang felt isolated and helpless. She never expected that her father, who had always doted on her, would be completely different now.
Zheng Yutang is really too impatient.
[Old Zheng is He Yi's biological father, of course he'll side with his daughter!]
[I'll say it again, Heyi is a fake!]
Didn't you all notice how terribly gloomy the male lead's face has become?
Zheng Yu stood aside watching the intimate interaction between the two, his face terribly gloomy and he secretly clenched his fists.
He never imagined that the girl who was just acting cute with him could now turn around and act cute with someone else.
So what about those before?
He stepped forward, looked at He Yi, and said coldly, "Let go of her hand. It's impolite!"
He Yi didn't let go, but just looked at Zheng Yu with a confused expression.
"Brother, aren't we engaged?"
"Since we'll be husband and wife in the future, what's wrong with being a little more affectionate?"
Gu Minghe awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Although he has now decided to marry He Yi for the sake of his family, there is actually no emotional foundation between the two of them, so he cannot accept their close relationship.
Seeing this, He Yi frowned and glanced at Gu Minghe: "Young Master, what do you mean by this? Do you want this marriage or not?"
Jiang Shu realized at this moment that what Zheng Yutang had said before was all nonsense!
Although He Yi's attention was on Zheng Yu, she was also very excited when the engagement was mentioned. It was clear that she only saw Zheng Yu as a younger sister to an older brother, while she saw Gu Minghe as a woman to a man.
She immediately stepped forward, took He Yi's arm, and looked at Gu Minghe: "Our He Yi is a good girl. If you wrong He Yi, I won't forgive you!"
"Princess, rest assured, I will certainly treat Miss Heyi well."
Gu Minghe immediately responded.
[Now I understand, the female supporting character killed two birds with one stone!]
[That's right, not only did it dispel the female lead's doubts, it also made the male lead jealous.]
The villainous female supporting character's performance was consistently excellent; she's truly cunning and scheming.
[A wicked woman, an absolute wicked woman.]
He Yi leaned on Jiang Shu's shoulder and winked playfully at Gu Minghe: "See? The county princess is my good friend. If you dare to bully me, see how the county princess deals with you!"
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
The chief eunuch gave a loud shout, and everyone knelt down to pay their respects.
As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Jiang Shu, she immediately beckoned to her: "Shu girl, come here quickly, come to your grandmother's side!"
[The Empress Dowager's favorite granddaughter is this one, and seeing this, it's clear she truly lives up to her reputation.]
The female lead is already showered with love and affection; her love is equally passionate for everyone!
[It's not that the female lead loves the male lead because he's good; it's that the female lead herself is good, and whoever she loves is an honor for that person!]
Through the comments, He Yi could clearly see that although Jiang Shu was just a minor county princess, she was pampered and doted on by everyone, making her a very powerful figure. If such a person could protect her, she could do whatever she wanted in the capital.
"Royal Grandmother!"
"Grandmother, Shu'er misses you!"
Jiang Shu immediately went over, took the Empress Dowager's arm, and smiled at the Emperor: "Uncle!"
"Hmm, Shu seems to have grown quite a bit?"
The Emperor smiled gently, a rare occurrence for him, clearly showing his fondness for his niece.
"Yes, our little Shu is of marriageable age. Your Majesty, you should take this seriously and find a good family for her."
The Empress Dowager tapped Jiang Shu's nose and smiled gently at her.
