But... it seems he really did choose He Yi!
Yunyu stared in disbelief at Jiang Shu, who was almost delirious. In that instant, Yunyu was terrified by Jiang Shu's cruel gaze, and the girl couldn't help but shrink back.
But then she gritted her teeth and put on a pained tone: "Your Highness is right, it was my fault! But I was really indignant on your behalf! Look at you, you've always been the one who fell for Young Master Zheng at first sight, but what about Zheng Yu? He not only betrayed you, but he also had an ambiguous relationship with Zheng Heyi!"
“Actually, I saw it long ago. Zheng Heyi is a hypocrite and two-faced! On the surface, she is very close to you as a sister, but behind your back, she has been using some despicable tricks to seduce Young Master Zheng! Today, she even came to the Prince's mansion to say bad things about the top scholar. Isn't this deliberately trying to sow discord and prevent you from marrying well? Tell me, what do you think?”
[Jiang Shu, wake up! Don't believe this damn green tea bitch!]
[I refuse to believe that there aren't any other suitable men in the world besides Gao Dekai and Zheng Yu to marry?]
[To the person upstairs: This is the script the female lead received; there's nothing we can do about it.]
“Princess, I cannot bear to see you continue to sink into depravity. How can you not see clearly that Zheng Heyi has no good intentions whatsoever! Now that things have come to this, you should carefully consider who truly cares for you and can bring you wealth and prosperity!”
"Only Gao Tanhua is your perfect match. You must fight for yourself and not let Zheng Heyi's feigned friendship blind you!"
Yunyu's words were like drinking cold water on a cold day, each drop hitting the heart. Hearing this, Jiang Shu felt even more exhausted.
Upon further reflection, I realized that Yunyu's words did indeed make some sense.
In the Minister's residence, in Zheng Yu's study, he stood frozen in place, the image of Jiang Shu rushing into his arms and the cold look in her eyes as she left in anger etched into his mind.
He closed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists, and tried to calm the turbulent emotions surging within him, but only felt suffocated and unable to move.
Jiang Shu's sharp questioning was like a knife slicing through Zheng Yu's heart. At this moment, Zheng Yu calmed down and began to examine his feelings for He Yi.
The appearance of the name He Yi caused Zheng Yu even more turmoil. He could no longer concentrate on his studies, feeling only restlessness and unease, his mind churning with a torrent of thoughts.
At this moment, Zheng Heyi returned to Tianxiangfang.
[I'm so tired, let it all end.]
During the day, she missed Jiang Shu, so she went to the Ning Prince's mansion to talk to her about everything concerning Gao Dekai. Little did she know that Jiang Shu would be so indifferent to the marriage she was bound to, chasing after men and women. This brat's divisive and scheming face made He Yi want to kill her.
At this moment, He Yi also felt that she had been a bit rash and should not have exposed Gao Dekai and Chunqin. After all, she needed to have some evidence.
Today, she only saw a scene that made her nauseous...
Focus on building a career! Focusing on building a career is the only way to succeed!
[Don't let your imagination run wild, you villainous supporting character.]
By the way, the villainous female supporting character needs to keep an eye on Jiang Shu; the situation has changed now.
Lost in thought, He Yi unknowingly entered her room in the backyard. She dismissed the other servants, leaving only Qingju behind.
"Qingju, go to the Princess's residence and invite Liuyun here. Tell her I need to speak with her." Her voice sounded a little tired. Qingju glanced at Zheng Heyi with concern. "Why would you need to see the female tutor all of a sudden?"
"If I tell you to go, then go. Why are you..." He Yi's eyes were unfriendly, and Qing Ju didn't know what to say, so she could only agree and leave.
A short while later, the female teacher Liuyun arrived. Today she was dressed in a simple white dress, which, combined with her tall figure, made Liuyun's temperament even more noble. After walking into the house, Liuyun smiled with a clear and bright expression.
"Little Princess, you wanted to see me?" Liu Yun nodded slightly and looked at He Yi. He Yi nodded and noticed that Liu Yun was looking at her.
Her eyes were so sharp that she seemed to have caught something. He Yi rubbed her temples in annoyance and said bluntly, "Master, I have a particularly troublesome matter here that requires your personal attention."
Liu Yun remained noncommittal, and He Yi didn't say much either. She simply recounted what she had seen Gao Dekai and Chunqin at Tianxiangfang that day. Liu Yun nodded and scoffed, "Isn't this just a matter of mutual consent? Why do you have to interfere with such matters of love between men and women? Do you expect me to break up a couple?"
Seeing Liu Yun say this, He Yi patiently recounted how she went to the Ning Prince's Mansion to inform Jiang Shu, only to be misunderstood, and how Yun Yu had instigated her. After hearing He Yi's concise explanation of Jiang Shu, Liu Yun's attitude softened.
She stamped her foot and glared fiercely out the window. "That Gao Dekai is no good person! He's deceiving the county princess while also flirting with that Chunqin! I suspect he has ulterior motives for getting close to the county princess!"
Upon hearing this, He Yi also stood up.
“Yes, not only Gao Dekai, but I think Chunqin is also a vixen!” As she said this, He Yi grabbed Liu Yun’s sleeve.
"Sister, I need to know their background, the more detailed the better! Especially that Chunqin, who is she? What is her background? What is her relationship with Gao Dekai now? How long have they been secretly seeing each other? What other evil deeds are they up to? I need to find out all of that for me."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun frowned and turned to look at He Yi.
“Princess, are you asking me to be a detective? I am the tutor you invited, I don’t know how to do these things! When I taught you martial arts, you didn’t even learn 30% of it, and now you want me to investigate Chunqin.”
At this point, Liu Yun suddenly put on a stern face.
He seemed unhappy, but there wasn't much blame in his tone.
He Yi immediately put on a pitiful expression, stepped forward, and took Zhu Liuyun's hand with a wronged look. Her voice trembled as she said, "Good sister! I know you are very capable in both literature and martial arts, and your mind is even more meticulous than mine. Now I have encountered a difficult situation, and I really don't trust others to handle it!"
Liu Yun clicked his tongue in astonishment, "Why do we have to investigate these two strangers?"
“It’s Gao Dekai,” He Yi told him all about Gao Dekai. After hearing this, Liu Yun almost said, “You grew up drinking Songhua River water.”
But Zheng Heyi continued speaking to herself: "Sister Shuer is my best friend, I can't just watch her jump into a fire pit! That Gao Dekai is a two-faced playboy, Sister Liuyun, you must help me this time!"
[Liu Yun: I've become an investigator without even realizing it.]
[Heyi: We have to help, even if we don't want to.]
Liu Yun looked at He Yi and realized that she was indeed very anxious. At this moment, Liu Yun's tense face finally showed a smile. "Oh, I was just teasing you. You are a princess and my employer. You can ask me to investigate you and do my best."
