Through bullet comments.
Heyi learned that...
This woman is the stepmother of the jade pendant's owner.
She remarried Minister Zheng, bringing with her two children.
"Sui'er!!!"
Lin stepped forward, choking back tears. She wanted to appear as a loving mother, but the dirty He Yi made her unable to do so. She could only take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Are you really Sui'er? Where have you been all these years? Why are you only coming back now? Do you know that your father has been unable to eat or sleep day and night while searching for you?"
While gnawing on a chicken foot, He Yi said, "I had amnesia before. I was pulled out of the sea and raised as a daughter. Later, I hit my head in an earthquake and that's when I remembered my past."
"well."
She sighed: "My adoptive parents died at that geotechnical site. I buried them with the little money I had and walked all the way back to Beijing."
Minister Zheng was heartbroken and started twitching again.
His poor daughter, so kind and compassionate yet so tragic, he must make it up to her in the future!
Lin wanted to say something more, but Minister Zheng stopped her.
He glanced at her unhappily: "Don't speak yet. She hasn't eaten for three days and three nights. Let her eat her fill before you speak."
Lin's heart skipped a beat.
No matter how much time has passed, her husband still considers his daughter the most important person.
Her heart was heavy, but she showed no sign of it on her face.
"Yes, yes, Sui'er, eat well, and we'll talk after you've finished eating!"
"I'm not called Sui'er anymore."
He Yi took a sip of tea: "My adoptive parents gave me a different name, He Yi. From now on, you can call me He Yi. I don't want to be called Sui'er."
"He Yi?"
Minister Zheng murmured, "Heyi is good, it suits my taste, very good, this name has a good meaning, from now on it will be Heyi!"
Lin could only echo her sentiments.
Fifteen minutes later, He Yi finally finished eating and put down her chopsticks.
Lin smiled insincerely: "When He Yi was younger... she had a very small appetite, she couldn't even finish a bowl of egg custard. Now her appetite is really big, I really can't recognize her."
She was implying something.
The intention was to imply that the person in front of him was not Minister Zheng's daughter at all.
He Yi glanced at her.
They're all seasoned foxes, why pretend to be clueless?
She blinked and said pitifully, "My adoptive parents are poor. They can only eat one meal a day, and when they are hungry, they can only drink cold water. They also have to work every day. I... am I eating too much?"
As she spoke, she stood up, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.
"I won't eat too much anymore, I'll never eat too much again, I'll only eat one meal a day."
Wow, she truly lives up to her reputation as a villainous supporting character; she's so cunning!
[In terms of acting skills, the wicked stepmother was a bit lacking, but that was also because she underestimated her opponent.]
I love this kind of plot! The wicked female supporting character gives this vicious stepmother a good beating!
The comments section was filled with praise.
Minister Zheng could no longer bear to listen.
His heart was bleeding.
"Mrs. Lin, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!" He pushed Mrs. Lin away and carefully grabbed He Yi's hand: "Good child, don't listen to her nonsense. You don't eat much, so eat like this from now on. Whatever you want to eat, Daddy will have someone make it for you!"
Right now.
Minister Zheng's guilt reached its peak.
He wished He Yi would make as many demands as possible, even if it was just the moon in the sky, he would find a way to get it for her!
"Father, I'm dirty, please don't touch me. Look, even Madam is sitting far away. I know I smell bad."
Lin's face stiffened, and she quickly stood up to defend herself: "No, I was afraid of scaring you, that's why I didn't dare to get close to you. You're such a child, you tend to overthink things."
She gritted her teeth inwardly: This little vixen is truly formidable! It seems she'll have to be careful in the future!
He Yi smiled shyly: "Is that so? I thought Madam disliked me and didn't want me to come back. After all, I'm not Madam's biological daughter. Madam dotes on her own daughter."
Upon hearing this...
Minister Zheng's eyes looked strange.
Lin felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly tried to defend herself, but no matter how she explained, a seed of doubt was planted in Minister Zheng's heart.
"Alright, let's go out first and tell Heyi to wash up properly."
Minister Zheng gestured for Lady Lin to leave.
Lin was angry because she had been wronged, and she was also disgusted by He Yi's dirty appearance, so she immediately left.
After they went out...
Several maids filed in.
A wooden tub made of huanghuali wood was brought in, hot water was poured in, and then fragrant flower petals were sprinkled on top.
He Yi was helped into the wooden tub by several maids.
One person was washing her hair, and the other was wiping her body.
It truly felt like entering paradise.
She was filthy, both in body and hair. The water in the wooden tub had to be changed three times. By the time she was finally clean, it was already dark outside.
Several more maids came in carrying the finished clothes and knelt down.
"Please choose your clothes, miss."
He Yi opened her eyes wide.
Before her were exquisitely beautiful garments, each one shimmering with light, even more beautiful than the clothes worn by the leading ladies performing on the opera stage.
"This one will do."
She chose the light purple one.
Because she saw in the comments that the jade pendant's owner and her birth mother both loved purple, she naturally wanted to wear purple.
Although Minister Zheng firmly believed that she was his daughter.
But the Lin family won't give up their antics.
The maids helped He Yi get dressed, quickly did her hair and makeup, and put on her headdress.
He Yi looked at the girl in the mirror.
For a moment, I couldn't believe it was me.
She touched her face.
The beautiful girl in the mirror touched her face, her clear eyes filled with surprise and doubt, her full lips slightly parted, and she looked so beautiful that she was a stranger to her.
Especially this purple dress.
It added a touch of gentleness and nobility to her, and no matter how you look at her, you can't tell that she used to be poor and ragged.
[Holy crap, the villainous female supporting character is actually quite pretty!!]
[Of course she's beautiful, otherwise why would she be climbing into this bed and that bed? She makes a living with her looks and her body!]
He Yi pinched her chin.
She gained another useful piece of information.
It seems her storyline involves sleeping with several men.
Tsk.
How can this be allowed?
She doesn't object to climbing into bed, but she objects to climbing into several beds. What kind of fool would waver between several men?
Since she was going to climb into someone's bed, she was going to climb into the bed of the strongest man and stick with him to the bitter end.
"Young Miss, you may leave now."
The maid reminded her.
He Yi snapped out of her daze, nodded, and stepped out through the open door.
The Lin family outside had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
She firmly believed that He Yi was not Minister Zheng's daughter at all, and was just waiting to see He Yi's face clearly so she could stir up trouble.
However, after seeing He Yi after she had washed up...
She was dumbfounded.
He stared wide-eyed at the girl in purple, incredulous.
Is this the little beggar from earlier?
The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, red lips and white teeth, distant and ethereal eyebrows, a delicate and high nose, and especially her full lips, which were as beautiful as flower petals.
She was dressed in a purple robe.
She was truly beautiful and otherworldly.
