The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1100: Chapter 417: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Character (Part 16)_3

In the elegant room on the second floor of Star Picking Tower, Zhou Jin and He Shu were still sitting opposite each other.

Only their attitudes towards each other were obviously more intimate than the time a month ago when they were caught by He Tiantian.

A sweet and sticky atmosphere flowed in the quiet little room.

He Tiantian received a timely reminder from Student Xiao D, immediately put down the military book in her hand, and rushed out from the Marquis Mansion.

”...I heard that there was a flood in Heyin, and many impoverished families are fleeing. If we state the conditions clearly, perhaps some might be willing to participate in the experiment for substantial rewards!”

After listening to Zhou Jin’s account, He Shu thought for a moment and said softly.

As a modern soul, He Shu couldn’t treat human lives as worthless.

But, the cowpox was a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and sacrifices were inevitable during the experiment.

The only thing He Shu could do was to offer large rewards and ensure the posthumous care of the participants in the experiment.

With substantial rewards, there will be brave people; even in modern society, there are people willing to participate in clinical trials for money, let alone in the cruel feudal society.

”Alright! I’ll find a useful person to procure supplies in Heyin!”

Zhou Jin nodded slowly, thinking He Shu’s proposal was good.

Using refugees from other places, promising hefty rewards, settling accounts in cash and goods, owing nothing to each other!

”Hmm, I’ll have to trouble Qilang!”

He Shu’s voice was gentle, and her gaze towards Zhou Jin was filled with trust.

It seemed as if the man in front of her was the most important person in her life, her only reliance.

As a man, Zhou Jin truly enjoyed this feeling of being relied upon and trusted.

This made him feel like a unique, powerful, and omnipotent deity.

Since childhood, Zhou Jin was not valued, and he felt somewhat inferior at heart.

The marriage with the He Family seemed to be elevating He Tian to the Royal Family, climbing high by marrying Zhou Jin, the Commandery Prince.

In fact, everyone knew that He Jing, the Great General, was far more important to the Emperor than Zhou Jin, his own son.

Zhou Jin could only be bestowed a title and enter the Ministry of War because he married He Tian!

This fact was not only known by outsiders but was also evident to Zhou Jin himself.

And it was precisely this ”knowing” that caused Zhou Jin immense pain.

A dignified Prince had become someone who relied on others, gaining some power through the Yue Family!

Moreover, ”He Tian” was not a submissive, gentle, virtuous wife.

She indeed liked Zhou Jin, but she was truly capricious and arrogant.

Zhou Jin could never forget the humiliation he felt on their wedding night when he was forcibly made to drink the wedding wine!

Indeed, it was humiliation!

Whenever Zhou Jin saw ”He Tian” with her bright and flamboyant expression, he would feel deep-seated humiliation.

He didn’t like this woman, yet he was forced to marry her.

After marriage, he wanted to give her a shock, but was heavily beaten back.

He wanted to assert himself like a real man, but he had to consider the He Family and Father Emperor...

He truly felt too stifled!

Shushu was the best; only when he was with her did Zhou Jin feel like he was a man upon whom people could rely!

Sadly, he and Shushu were fated but had no destiny; not only could they not be together for life, but he also had to watch her marry another man with open eyes.

Thinking about these, Zhou Jin felt deep sorrow, combined with an intense hatred towards He Tian.

If it weren’t for He Tian, he would be together with Shushu.

”Shushu, I’m sorry!”

With eyes filled with guilt and reluctance, Zhou Jin softly whispered.

Upon hearing this meaningless talk again, He Shu instinctively felt annoyed.

But she never showed it; she pulled out a faint smile, masking a subtle helplessness and sadness, ”Don’t blame yourself; it’s just that we have no fate together!”

Bang!

Just as they were pouring out their hearts for the Nth time, the door was kicked open!

He Shu and Zhou Jin were again startled.

Who?

It shouldn’t be He Tian again, right?

Zhou Jin felt uneasy in his heart.

He Shu was, however, much calmer than him; even if it was He Tian, so what.

As long as she wasn’t caught having intimate contact with Zhou Jin, He Tian couldn’t do anything to her?

No matter how domineering He Tian was, she wouldn’t prevent occasional contacts between relatives, right?

Almost instantly, He Shu mentally prepared herself, and thought of how to cope if her troublesome cousin erupted!

The visitor was indeed ”He Tian”.

What surprised Zhou Jin and He Shu was that He Tiantian didn’t make a fuss.

With accusation in her eyes, she looked at Zhou Jin, then at He Shu, and after a long time, sighed—

”Fine, I admit defeat!”

Zhou Jin & He Shu:...

What was the meaning?

How did she admit defeat?

What did she lose?

Did they have some kind of competition with ”He Tian”?

”I’m tired, I, I no longer want to struggle with you anymore!”

He Tiantian feigned acceptance, saying quietly to Zhou Jin—

”Prince, I know you and my fourth sister love each other, it was my mistake in the past, I misled you two!”

”But, I’ve already been appointed by His Majesty as Princess Qi, seeking separation is impossible.”

”Therefore, let’s have fourth sister serve as a concubine for the Prince...”
