The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Looking at the pile of good things and Gu Jingyuan’s sincere face, He Tiantian knew he was genuine.

Besides the habit of relying on ”He Dian,” Gu Jingyuan handing over his ”entire fortune” to her also had a sense of compensation.

Yes, compensation!

Although it was He Tiantian who initially claimed they were siblings, Gu Jingyuan never denied it and let her babble in front of others.

Perhaps, in Gu Jingyuan’s inner voice, he already felt: he was not worthy of He Dian.

Their past marriage now seemed more like a joke.

Now, he was no longer the pitiable person who remembered nothing, but a noble young master who recalled everything, and he could no longer treat He Dian as a wife like before.

He has a wife who was married with proper formalities, compatible in status, a virtuous wife, whereas He Dian’s status is not even fit to be a concubine.

Gu Jingyuan just returned to the Marquis Mansion, feeling as if he were still in a dream.

He himself felt extremely insecure, without the heart to care for others, let alone strive for some status or treatment for ”He Dian.”

He could only let everything remain as it was until he slowly adapted to the life of the Marquis Mansion and no longer felt anxious and lost; he would take good care of Ah Dian, it would not be too late.

Before that, Gu Jingyuan couldn’t be close to Ah Dian as he used to, feeling uneasy, he wanted to properly compensate her.

”Ah Dian, take it. Especially these silver notes, keep them all!”

”Though there’s no worry about food and drink in the Marquis Mansion, and there’s a monthly salary, you are new here, and the servants here bully the weak and are only after money, without money, you can hardly move in the inner residence!”

Gu Jingyuan held He Tiantian’s hand, gently advising.

He was a man, yet he understood some of the intricacies of the inner residence.

Marquis Nanning’s Mansion was already considered a family of upright principles, valuing etiquette and adhering to rules, with the Marchioness and the Young Madam both being excellent managers.

Yet in such a large Marquis Mansion, there were over a hundred maids, plus servants, old women, and others, totaling two or three hundred servants.

With so many people, there were bound to be some cunning and greedy characters.

Though they didn’t dare to extort or humiliate directly, there were plenty of ways to torment people in the inner residence, mostly cases where one can’t complain about the bitterness.

For someone like ”He Dian,” who comes from a humble background and suddenly enters the big mansion of the Marquis, just being humiliated by troublesome slaves is enough to make her suffer in silence.

Gu Jingyuan pitied ”He Dian,” feeling guilty towards her, naturally not wanting her to live poorly.

Moreover, to speak without fear of rebuke, Gu Jingyuan’s thorough consideration for He Tiantian was also for his own good—

If ”He Dian” were to be humiliated in the Marquis Mansion and have a miserable life, she surely would not tolerate it.

By then, suddenly revealing the ”truth”...

Gu Jingyuan at this moment was not ready to ”reveal” the truth to Ma Family and his parents!

Therefore, he was willing to spend his little treasure trove, soothe ”He Dian,” get over this hurdle first, and deal with future matters later!

He Tiantian couldn’t hear Gu Jingyuan’s inner voice, but she could guess a thing or two.

This man was a truly refined egoist.

You couldn’t say he was too scumbag or evil, but whatever he did, it was always for his own interest.

Even if in the process, he might hurt others, he didn’t care, nor would he feel guilty, instead thinking he was forced into it!

”Brother Ah Ya, you are so good to me!”

Though He Tiantian was complaining inwardly, her face showed genuine emotion.

She called out the most familiar term of endearment without thinking.

But when Gu Jingyuan heard ”Brother Ah Ya,” his expression seemed a bit unnatural.

Because the name Ah Ya always reminded him that after he lost his memory, he once lived as a mountain folk, and even, even went hunting for mere tens of Copper Coins.

It couldn’t be called a disgraceful history, but it would make Gu Jingyuan feel awkward.

However, ”Brother Ah Ya” was Ah Dian’s nickname for him, a small affection in their little marriage.

Now, they couldn’t continue as husband and wife, let them be a pair of loving and passionate sweethearts.

Gu Jingyuan comforted himself in this way, and he made up his mind regarding ”He Dian’s” identity—beloved concubine!

He Tiantian:... Damn you, you really are a dog!

Curses aside, she couldn’t refuse the things!

He Tiantian needed Silver now, additionally, Gu Jingyuan’s ”attitude” also determined her position in the Marquis Mansion.

The Ma Family needed to be slightly provoked too.

Thus, the Ma Family would take action sooner, and He Tiantian could seize the opportunity to exploit a loophole!

Carefully considering, He Tiantian had already had a showdown with the Ma Family since she came here.
