Normally, if Madam Lin cried like this, Minister Zheng would definitely feel sorry for her. However, for some reason, he felt a strange sense of annoyance today.
He frowned, gave Lin a look that said "You'd better watch yourself," and then took He Yi's hand and led her back to her room.
Upon entering, Minister Zheng looked at He Yi, who was still crying, with a pang of sympathy.
"Good child, don't cry, are you hurt?"
"Father, am I your child?"
He Yi raised her eyes, staring at Minister Zheng with teary eyes, her voice trembling as she spoke.
Wow, the female supporting character is really good at this!
Even I, let alone Old Man Zheng who dotes on his daughter, would feel sorry for her seeing her like this.
She's already so pitiful, what could she have done wrong? They've given her all this wealth and status, so what!
The comments section was scrolling wildly, and it was clear that these so-called "viewers" were starting to go astray.
Minister Zheng was heartbroken.
He reached out and gently wiped away He Yi's tears.
"Silly child, if you're not my daughter, whose is she?"
"It's all my fault. I'm useless. I couldn't find you sooner, and you suffered so much outside. You were bullied and criticized by others. It's all my fault."
As Minister Zheng spoke, he himself began to cry.
Although He Yi's tears were fake, at this moment she truly felt Minister Zheng's deep affection for his daughter.
She had a difficult childhood and had never received much love, so it's hard for her not to be moved by such affection and sincerity.
Anyway, now that she's entered the Minister's mansion and become the eldest daughter, she has to serve him well now that she has a father.
"Father, I don't care about anything else, I just want Father."
With red eyes, He Yi threw herself into Zheng Shangshu's arms, hugging his waist and sobbing uncontrollably, looking as pitiful as a stray cat that had just been rescued.
[Sobbing, the father-daughter relationship is so touching.]
[Actually, it would be quite good if the female supporting character could always recognize her place and properly serve Minister Zheng.]
Indeed, who wouldn't be moved by such a peaceful and idyllic scene?
Wake up! This is a vicious female supporting character; how could she possibly live a peaceful life? Just watch, they'll get what's coming to them.
[I'm already trembling with fear for the female lead.]
Female lead?
Looking at the scrolling comments in front of her, He Yi immediately grasped the key information.
She had always known that she was the villainous female supporting character in this world, but this was the first time she had ever heard of the female lead. Judging from the comments, the female lead was not only beautiful and talented, but also of noble birth and kind-hearted. It could be said that all the most beautiful adjectives in the world were used to describe her, which showed how much this world favored her.
He Yi sighed. She had already decided to cling to the male lead, Zheng Yu, and she wouldn't let go. What did it matter if she was the female lead or not? Her life was hers to decide.
"Father, everyone in this manor is suspicious of my identity, and I don't know what people outside are saying. I really don't know whether it was right or wrong for me to come back this time."
As He Yi spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably again.
When Minister Zheng saw He Yi's tears, he frowned with heartache.
"Don't be afraid, with your father here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Father will throw you a grand welcome banquet, so that the whole capital will know that my daughter has returned!"
[Daddy is awesome!]
Give me a dad just like Old Man Zheng!
[The villainous female supporting character is quite cunning; with a little crying and fussing, she created this perfect opportunity to throw a lavish banquet.]
[If it weren't for this banquet, how would the male lead and female lead have met?]
[Rubbing hands in anticipation, the female lead is finally about to make her appearance!]
He Yi stared at the barrage of comments in front of her, starting to make plans in her mind.
The female lead will also be attending the banquet this time, and she must seize the opportunity to ruin their first encounter.
Otherwise, if the male and female leads hold hands, this vicious female supporting character will really become cannon fodder.
She crawled out of a pile of corpses, not to become a mere cannon fodder!
After comforting He Yi, Minister Zheng turned around and went directly to Lin's courtyard.
"Mother, that Zheng Heyi deserves to die!"
"Look at the way Father treats her. He clearly only has this one daughter in his eyes. Where is there any place for you and me to hide?"
"I don't care, you could throw her into the water seven years ago, and you can't keep her alive now!"
Zheng Yutang's face was still red and swollen, but that didn't stop her from cursing He Yi. The cursing was so loud that it aggravated the wound on her face, making her grimace in pain, which looked quite comical.
"Alright, alright, a girl's face is the most important thing, don't get too excited."
"She's just a bastard of unknown origin, but I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget."
Just then, Minister Zheng strode in, initially filled with anger, but upon seeing the redness and swelling on Zheng Yutang's face, his anger subsided considerably.
"Tell the doctor to use the best ointment, and make sure there is no scar left."
Minister Zheng stepped forward and gave an order.
Hearing this, Zheng Yutang cried even harder: "Why did Father come to see me again? Didn't Father not want me as his daughter anymore? Now that Father's biological daughter has returned, does Father think I'm in his way?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Minister Zheng sat opposite Zheng Yutang and gave her a friendly reprimand.
