The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1106: Chapter 419: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 18)_3

Witnessing her daughter’s growth with her own eyes, Ma Family no longer tried to stop He Tiantian from her requests.

She went to discuss it with the Grand Madam and the Main Lady.

The Grand Madam, upon hearing about this matter, was initially furious—Zhou Jin, who had always relied on the Yue Family, actually betrayed them when they were down, and He Shu, usually so sensible and obedient, sided with outsiders?!

The Main Lady, on the other hand, had already heard from He Shu and felt a bit uneasy facing the Ma Family.

But, a daughter’s happiness was more important than anything!

With He Jing and his sons in trouble, the He Family was on the brink of decline.

If they didn’t quickly settle Shushu’s marriage, how could she hope to marry into a noble family in the future?

Although becoming a concubine to Prince Qi would mean living under ”He Tian’s” thumb in the future, the Prince favored their Shushu.

For a woman, as long as she has a man’s love, she shouldn’t fear palace intrigues or house fights.

Besides, ”He Tian” was nothing but a reckless and unruly fool.

Even in the Marquis Mansion, Shushu was never afraid of He Tian.

After marrying into the Prince Mansion, with the Prince’s favor, He Tian would be even less of a threat.

In the future, this spoiled brat from the second branch might even need to depend on their Shushu to live.

The Ma Family watched the changes in expression of the Grand Madam and the Main Lady, secretly sneering—

The mother-in-law was fair enough, probably also annoyed by He Shu’s lack of self-respect and conscience.

As for the sister-in-law, whether it was the years of widowhood that twisted her nature, or she was simply born like this, she had become so selfish and utilitarian.

So be it, knowing the sister-in-law wasn’t as kind and gentle as she pretended to be, the Ma Family would feel no guilt over whatever happened to He Shu.

”Tiantian has already decided. If Mother and Sister-in-law have no objections, she will enter the palace to report to the Emperor tomorrow!”

The Ma Family lowered her eyelids, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

She wasn’t lying; He Tiantian really would enter the palace the next day.

However, asking to take a concubine for Prince Qi was just incidental; He Tiantian’s main goal was to ”request for battle”.

Of course, the Ma Family didn’t want to reveal this to others for the time being.

After her husband’s and son’s injuries, the Ma Family realized that some people, even if they’re ”family” in name, wouldn’t share your heart.

From now on, it would only be about appearance with everyone.

”...” The Grand Madam moved her lips, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

The Main Lady, seeing this, quickly smiled and said, ”Since Sanya has decided, let’s do as she wishes.”

If the Grand Madam disagreed, wouldn’t her own Shushu’s future be further delayed?

The Ma Family’s face was numb. She had been wondering why He Shu was so inexplicably selfish while pretending otherwise.

The root of the matter was here!

”If Shushu isn’t willing, no matter how much we ’decide’, it won’t matter!”

The Ma Family couldn’t hold it in and coldly jabbed at the Main Lady.

Hmph, got a good deal and then pretends to be virtuous, thinking others are fools?!

The Main Lady choked, awkwardly smiled.

The Grand Madam, clutching her prayer beads tightly, sighed, a family that was once so close-knit was now estranged.

”...Even so, let it be so.”

With the He Family in turmoil, some schemes were understandable to the Grand Madam.

But in the future, she would feel less guilty and compassionate towards her eldest daughter-in-law and fourth granddaughter.

Receiving the Ma Family’s reply, early the next morning, He Tian went with Prince Qi into the palace.

Prince Qi was full of joy, finally about to marry the person he loved, fulfilling his long-cherished dream.

Of course, Prince Qi didn’t get overconfident; he still knew to treat the Princess Consort with at least basic respect and gratitude.

Pressing his lips tightly to suppress the smile that threatened to spread from his heart, Prince Qi pretended to be affectionate with He Tian before others.

He Tiantian: ...Do as you please, as long as it makes you happy!

After all, they’re not important people, and He Tiantian brought He Shu and Zhou Jin together just to ”complete the beauty”.

Zhou Jin loves He Shu with his life, and He Shu still longs for Zhou Jin after marriage; might as well make it happen, why leave regrets?

Isn’t sweet love a hundred times better than tragic love regrets?!

However, it remains to be seen if this couple who could ”love, but not have” would experience the same deep, unwavering love as in the original novel after becoming partners!

The Emperor, after hearing He Tian’s request, saw she wasn’t feeling aggrieved or coerced; though he felt adding a concubine for Prince Qi during the He Family’s troubles was somewhat unkind.

But since He Tian insisted, and his own unlucky son was filled with hope and joy, the Emperor had no choice but to approve.

Zhou Jin was overjoyed, hurriedly kneeling to thank the Emperor.

However, his joy did not last long.

Immediately after, he heard his Princess Consort passionately declare, ”The Hulu are attacking the Border City, my father is severely injured, and my brother’s whereabouts are unknown. Though I am a woman, I am also a daughter of the He Family!”

”Your Majesty, He Tian is willing to represent the He Family to battle the Northwest, to avenge my father and brother, to ease Your Majesty’s worries, and to protect the Northwest for Dayuan!”
