Minister Zheng looked at He Yi, and both father and daughter smiled. At this moment, the gloom in their hearts had been completely washed away, leaving only warmth.
So what if she didn't have that butterfly birthmark? So what if He Yi wasn't his biological daughter? He Yi was so filial and good to him. Minister Zheng secretly resolved that from now on he would never investigate whether He Yi was his daughter or not.
He was determined to treat He Yi as his own daughter, and once he was better, he would make amends to He Yi doubly for today's test and mistake.
Minister Zheng wept tears of relief, all his doubts vanished.
[This way, the master's favorability towards the villainous female supporting character has been completely maxed out!]
[Yu-ge can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Look at the way he looks at He-yi; it's even more complicated than before.]
He Yi felt a mix of emotions.
Zheng Yu looked at He Yi at this moment. The coldness contained in He Yi's warning, "I will never let them go!", and her decisiveness in handling business and household affairs made Zheng Yu gradually realize a fact.
He Yi is no longer the little girl who needed his protection; she now possesses her own sharpness and methods. After comforting her father and watching him drink his medicine and rest, He Yi and Zheng Yu silently left the room.
"Brother, that adulterous couple..."
He Yi clenched her fists, her mood sour, and she was ready to tell everything. But Zheng Yu said, "I've already sent people to investigate these two people, and I believe my people will send back news soon."
Zheng Yu turned around and looked at He Yi, his eyes shining brightly: "He Yi, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
He Yi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, brother. However, I have already arrested the person and also found out who the mastermind is: the Lin family and Zheng Yutang."
Zheng Yu gritted his teeth, "It really was them!"
Zheng Yu looked at He Yi, "Yi'er, what are your plans?"
“Naturally, we should give them a taste of their own medicine.” He Yi smiled, but the smile was chilling. “Brother, you don’t need to get involved this time. Leave it to me. She dared to touch Father, so she should know what the consequences would be.”
Honestly, He Yi didn't want to put Zheng Yu in a difficult position. Although Zheng Yutang and Lin Shi had been kicked out, Zheng Yutang was still their nominal "sister" no matter what.
Zheng Yu looked at He Yi and smiled slightly. He knew what He Yi was worried about, but he also understood that if he entrusted this matter to He Yi, she would definitely handle it well.
"That's fine. Anyway, if you need anything, just let me know."
He now has great faith in He Yi's abilities. He Yi bids farewell and leaves the Minister's residence, but her mood is not entirely relaxed.
Although the terrifying crisis that nearly destroyed her had been resolved, the threat from Gao Dekai still existed on Jiang Shu's side.
He Yi returned to Tianxiangfang with a heavy heart, pondering how she should remind him again, or at least find a way to obtain evidence of Gao Dekai and Chunqin's affair. Now she was going to talk to Jiang Shu about this matter without any evidence.
Jiang Shu might not believe it. Most importantly, He Yi had already described in detail what she had witnessed last time, but Jiang Shu remained indifferent and was still determined to marry that damned Gao Dekai.
When He Yi first learned that Jiang Shu was the female lead and she was the "villainous supporting character," she was honestly reluctant to be friends with Jiang Shu. But later, she discovered that Jiang Shu was indeed the undisputed female lead, so...
But now, the thought of Jiang Shu's obedience and compromise makes He Yi feel uneasy.
Lost in thought, He Yi had unknowingly arrived at Zhuque Street, where Tianxiangfang was located. At this moment, Zheng He Yi habitually looked at her own shop.
Her gaze, however, was focused on the opposite side of Tianxiangfang. The teahouse across the street, which had been closed for many days, instantly caught Zheng Heyi's attention.
This used to be a teahouse, but now the doors have been removed, and a group of people are standing at the entrance. Two of them seem to be tenants who are about to start a business, and they are whispering something to the original owner of the teahouse.
They are clearly bargaining.
The old shopkeeper nodded occasionally and echoed something, while the two people with their backs to He Yi looked well-dressed.
He Yi stared at them again, but her heart suddenly jumped. Why did the backs of these two people give off a strange sense of familiarity? Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped and stared intently at the backs of the man and woman.
At that moment, the short, stout man finally settled something and turned around with satisfaction.
A cunning smile was plastered on his face. When He Yi saw that greasy face, she was immediately shocked—who else could this person be but Lin Shoucai?!
Standing next to Lin Shoucai, the woman who was looking at the teahouse with disdain was now dressed in ordinary clothes, but her sharp and mean eyes and affected manner... who else could she be but Lin Shi?!
How did they get here?
Are they going to buy this closed-down teahouse? This greedy and unscrupulous brother and sister suddenly appeared directly opposite Tianxiangfang and even took over the shop; they obviously have no good intentions.
A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped her from all directions, and He Yi decided to pay close attention to the other party.
They're like a persistent ghost, always there, like a leech.
[Lin Shou-cai and the Lin family are the real troublemakers. By the way, where's Zheng Yu-tang? What happened?]
[A geomantically auspicious location? No, no, no, it's the front lines of a battlefield!]
He Yi looked at the teahouse across the street, and at the Lin family and Lin Shoucai standing at the door shouting and yelling. Those two disgusting faces were really a downer.
Lin Shoucai wore a greasy, fake smile. He would greet his neighbors with a cupped-hand salute, regardless of whether he knew them or not, as if he were familiar with everyone.
As for Lin, she would occasionally turn around and glance at Zheng Heyi and the others with her mean and critical eyes, her gaze eventually seeming to settle on the golden signboard of "Tianxiangfang".
Upon noticing Lin's gaze, He Yi's alarm bells went off.
Their intention in taking over the shop directly opposite Tianxiangfang is quite obvious.
This person is probably here to openly challenge others.
[She's like a persistent ghost! How come Aunt Lin is like a leech that just won't go away?]
[The battlefield is in position!]
The Lin family is definitely preparing a major move.
[The vicious female supporting character, the enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds...]
He Yi suppressed the disgust churning within her; she simply couldn't be bothered to watch the "performance" of Lin Shi and Lin Shoucai, the siblings.
He Yi was preparing to return to her own shop to avoid this bad luck.
But at that moment, a deliberately sweet laugh came from behind her. He Yi turned around, and the voice drifted over like a leech, impossible for her to ignore.
