The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1104: Chapter 419: My Husband Is a Supporting Male Character (Part 18)

”This is an outrage! Absolutely outrageous!”

Lady Ma cursed through gritted teeth.

These past few days, Lady Ma had been filled with anxiety.

She worried about her husband, whose fate was unknown, and her missing eldest son, her heart feeling like it was placed on a red-hot iron plate, suffering greatly.

Yet, as a qualified matriarch of a general’s family, no matter how fearful and worried she was inside, Lady Ma still gritted her teeth and held on.

She knew that, especially at this time, the He Family could not be in disarray.

She also knew that the He Family had been too prominent in the past, and now that trouble arose, surely some would take the opportunity to kick them while they were down.

However, Lady He never expected, of all people, it would be their own kin stabbing them in the back.

One was her own niece, the other a son-in-law whom the family had greatly supported. They, they...

Oh, poor Tiantian, her father and brother just encountered trouble, and now she’s being humiliated like this!

”Mom, it’s not really humiliation!”

He Tiantian felt quite worried seeing Lady Ma trembling with anger.

She grasped her mother’s hand seriously and said, ”Actually, I wanted to let the fourth sister-in-law in a few days ago!”

Lady Ma’s eyes widened abruptly, staring at He Tiantian in disbelief: ”Tiantian, do you know what you’re saying?”

When did her daughter become such a ’virtuous wife’ willing to take the initiative to accept a concubine for her husband?

Lady Ma wasn’t suspecting He Tiantian of being cursed but was heartbroken wondering if she had suffered grievances again!

As a woman herself, Lady Ma certainly knew that no woman in the world would willingly hand over her man to others.

All the talk of being magnanimous and virtuous were just shackles forced upon women by men!

No woman is inherently submissive.

Lady Ma stared at her beloved daughter, seriously suspecting that the cold-hearted opportunist was secretly pressuring Tiantian to ’fulfill’ the relationship between him and He Shu.

”Not at all! Mom, I’m not someone to be easily bullied!”

Lady Ma’s gaze was too obvious, and He Tiantian understood it instantly.

She curled her lips, ”I genuinely want He Shu to come into the Prince Mansion. Mom, don’t worry, listen to me!”

He Tiantian, despite having the naturally capricious face of the original character, spoke with unusual firmness and steadiness, ”He Shu and the Prince are deeply in love, and if I keep stopping them, I’ll become the villain!”

”In the two months since I married the Prince, we haven’t consummated the marriage, yet the Prince frequently has ’chance encounters’ with He Shu!”

”They secretly maintain a connection behind my back, so I might as well fulfill their wishes, bring her into the Prince Mansion, and see how she acts then!”

When He Tiantian mentioned He Shu, she still respected the original character’s persona, showing extreme disgust.

”Furthermore, with trouble befalling the He Family, I need to go on behalf of my father, and bringing He Shu into the Prince Mansion early means there will be someone to attend to the Prince—”

Originally, upon hearing He Tiantian mention ”not consummating the marriage,” Lady Ma was furious.

She nearly stormed off to confront Zhou Jin.

But then, when she heard ”go on behalf of my father,” Lady Ma was utterly stunned.

”What? Tiantian, you, you’re going to the Northwest?”

”Yes! Daddy is injured, big brother is missing, but the tens of thousands of He Family Army cannot be left leaderless!”

”No, no! How can you go to the Northwest?” Lady Ma simply couldn’t bear it.

”Why can’t I go? Mom, I’m not a child anymore, and also, my surname is He!”

He Tiantian was incredibly resolute, and when she said, ”my surname is He,” it was laden with an immense sense of responsibility.

Lady Ma’s heart was momentarily moved.

At this moment, she was solely concerned about her daughter, casting aside any troubling son-in-law or ungrateful niece.

”But, but you’re a woman, and you’re already married—”

”What does being a woman matter? During the late Emperor’s reign, Princess Zhaoyang even led troops in battle!”

He Tiantian had already prepared her arguments, and said in a deep voice: ”Even you, Mom, grew up in the Border City, and the female family members of the city defenders would defend the city and fight the Hulu in times of crisis!”

”As for being married? Mom, do you really think I’m like water thrown out since I’m married off? Even if married, I’m still a daughter of the He Family!”

Lady Ma was left speechless by He Tiantian’s words.

Yet she still felt uneasy.

Her dear Tiantian, always so cherished, had never endured hardship or suffered.

Indeed, Lady Ma grew up in the Border City, so she knew firsthand the harshness and danger of the frontier.

This time, the situation is especially severe, even the always brave and fierce He Jing was seriously injured.

If her beloved, pampered little girl went, whether she could return alive was uncertain.

Her husband and eldest son were already like this, she could not bear to let her only daughter become ensnared as well.
