Minister Zheng came with this intention, so he was naturally satisfied to hear Lin say this.
His expression finally softened.
“Heyi has been away from home for many years and has suffered injustices outside, so the possibilities have changed. You are her stepmother, so you should be more tolerant.”
Minister Zheng kept repeating himself, but he was still speaking up for He Yi.
Lin was naturally resentful, but she knew she couldn't show it, so she could only obediently nod, step forward, and take Minister Zheng's arm.
"Don't worry, sir, I will make the arrangements properly."
"No matter what, Heyi is the master's child, so I will naturally treat her as my own daughter and love her dearly. I will never let her suffer any injustice."
That's more like it.
Minister Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then patted Madam Lin's hand, and the two reconciled without saying a word.
Yi'an Hall.
He Yi lay leisurely on the chaise lounge, swinging her legs, watching the comments on the screen as if she were watching a play.
[The Lin family is indeed about to unleash their full power!]
[How could a seasoned veteran like him really be no match for a young girl? He was simply caught off guard.]
[See? This banquet will definitely make the villainous female supporting character lose all face.]
[Speaking of which, this female supporting character is actually quite pitiful at this point. She's new here and already being targeted by the matriarch. If it weren't for the fact that she ruined her reputation at this banquet, she probably wouldn't be struggling to find peace in those men's beds later on.]
[Upstairs, are you alright? This impersonator even has the nerve to argue? The female supporting character herself lacks resolve, so why is she blaming others?]
Through these words, He Yi understood that this banquet was nothing short of a trap set by the Lin family for her.
However, how could she let that wicked woman get away with it so easily?
He Yi took a bite of the crisp apple, then smiled and instructed her maid, Hehua, "These apples are good. Pack a few for me; I want to give them to my brother to try."
[Ridiculous! The male lead is the son of a high-ranking official; what hasn't he eaten? Why would he share an apple with him?]
The person upstairs is too naive; this is clearly a case of ulterior motives.
[Hang in there, male lead! Don't be fooled! Your baby female lead is still waiting for you.]
The more comments popped up, the smuger He Yi felt. She loved seeing these so-called "viewers" who couldn't stand her but couldn't do anything about it.
So what if she's a villainous supporting character? She should write her own destiny.
Soon, He Yi took the small lunchbox and headed towards the courtyard, successfully finding her way to Zheng Yu's study.
A little hand pushed open the door, and a tiny head peeked out, grinning foolishly at Zheng Yu: "Brother!"
The way she called him "brother" was so sweet and melodious, it was clearly a way of being affectionate.
[Female supporting character, get out of here!]
That one "brother" from the male lead made my bones melt, let alone him!
[Waaah, male lead, hang in there! Don't be fooled by her, it's all just an illusion!]
The comments section was flooded with messages, as if people wanted to tear the script to shreds and rush in, afraid that He Yi would taint their male lead.
Unfortunately, they were just outsiders. He Yi, who was involved, not only had to seduce Zheng Yu, but also had to win him over and stay with him for the rest of her life!
Upon hearing the sound, Zheng Yu looked towards the door and indeed saw a fluffy little head.
Immediately afterwards, He Yi sneaked in, her cautious manner completely unlike her previous sharpness, looking just like a soft, fragrant little dumpling.
"Brother, aren't you tired of reading so many books every day?"
Seeing that Zheng Yu had no intention of letting her go, He Yi boldly walked over, placed the small lunchbox in her hand on the table, and opened it, revealing two round, bright red apples.
"Oh!"
He Yi quickly grabbed the two apples, afraid they would roll to the ground, and then stuck out her tongue at Zheng Yu somewhat embarrassedly.
Every smile and gesture was meticulously planned; it was pure seduction, this was seduction!
[That damned, vicious female supporting character, get out of here! Don't touch our male lead!]
Let go of the male lead and let the female lead have her turn.
The comments section went on a frenzy again.
However, He Yi didn't care about their sour grapes at all. She just walked step by step to Zheng Yu's side and smiled sweetly at him: "Brother, eat an apple, it's crisp and sweet!"
apple?
Zheng Yu was taken aback when she saw the large apple He Yi handed her.
Looking up, she met He Yi's expectant gaze and felt a sudden pang of tenderness, but she turned her face away and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"
"I brought you some delicious apples!"
"I've never eaten this before. It's crisp and sweet. You should try it!"
It was just an ordinary apple, but He Yi acted as if it were some rare treasure.
Zheng Yu wanted to refuse, but after hearing these words, she thought of the hardships she had endured for many years.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out, took the apple, and took a bite under He Yi's expectant gaze.
It was indeed crisp and sweet.
[It's over, completely over, the male lead has fallen for him.]
Everyone knows that the male lead is always disciplined and never eats outside of mealtimes.
[This isn't an apple; it's just a hallucinogenic drug.]
He Yi stared at the scrolling text on the screen, puzzled.
The "audience" all thought Zheng Yu had fallen for him, but how come she couldn't see it at all?
