The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1069 - 407: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 6)_2

Chapter 1069: Chapter 407: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 6)_2

Student Xiao D:... Dear, stop saying that, it’s a virus! Virus! Virus!

He Tiantian saw that Student Xiao D was starting to get worked up again and smiled, saying, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

The virus had already been eliminated by her, and the next step was how to craft a storyline that would satisfy the readers!

He Tiantian didn’t continue chatting with Student Xiao D but instead re-sorted through the original owner’s memories and the altered narrative.

In the original plot, He Shu did not go to Jingyue Temple but rather entered the top societal circles of the Capital City, under the guise of the Princess Qi’s cousin.

She was beautiful, talented, with impeccable manners and eloquence.

In conversation, she would express some refreshing yet not overly radical opinions.

Princess Le Yang, the biological daughter of the current Empress, noticed this Fourth Miss of the He Family and unconsciously mentioned her a couple of times upon returning to the palace.

Consequently, even the Empress had heard of He Shu’s name.

In fact, back when He Jing was still alive, He Shu was often the commendable young lady from a noble family visiting the palace.

After He Jing’s passing, He Shu stayed in mourning with her widowed mother and naturally couldn’t engage in social activities.

After the mourning period, the Main Lady was a widow, with many taboos.

He Shu could have gone out with the Second Madam Ma, but He Tian did not like her.

Ma, as a doting mother without principles, naturally wouldn’t do anything that would upset her dear daughter.

Unless for necessary occasions, most of the time, Ma would only take He Tian to various banquets.

Gradually, many people forget that the He Family had a legitimate daughter left by the previous Marquis.

Therefore, the Empress also didn’t have much of an impression of He Shu.

However, after having met a few times and hearing Princess Le Yang frequently mentioning Sister Shu, the Empress discreetly inquired about her.

After Princess Le Yang left, the Empress ordered an investigation.

The sole daughter of the former Marquis of Marquis Nanning’s Mansion and the niece of General Jingbei.

No brothers, only a widowed mother, but both the Grand Madam and General He treated her very well.

The key was that He Shu was different from He Tian; she was knowledgeable, graceful, and a quintessential model of a noble family’s young lady.

The Empress had no sons, so with the Emperor’s permission, she adopted the Fourth Prince, whose biological mother passed away early.

The Fourth Prince was now twenty-three years old and already had a Princess Consort.

However, the Princess Consort only had two daughters, and the Fourth Prince didn’t have a son.

The Empress had long intended to find a concubine for her adopted son—after all, the Eldest son’s biological mother’s status was too humble and inappropriate!

He Shu?!

Though without a father or brothers, she had a good Second Uncle.

General He’s military power was highly coveted by several older princes.

Unfortunately, He Jing was loyal only to the Emperor.

Among the Princes, he showed respect primarily to the Crown Prince.

And the reason for his respect was not because of the Crown Prince himself but due to his position as "Crown Prince."

As for the other princes, He Jing kept them at a respectful distance.

However, He Jing’s own daughter was married to the Seventh Prince, now known as Prince Qi—

The Empress hesitated only for a moment, then smiled and shook her head again.

Laoqi’s maternal family was too lowborn for the Emperor to pay him much attention.

Were it not for General He’s influence, Laoqi might not have been titled prince so swiftly.

Even the Emperor likely didn’t care much for Laoqi; otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let Laoqi marry the He family’s daughter.

Laoqi was an insignificant prince, but the Fourth Prince was different.

Though his biological mother was also of humble origin, he was recognized under the Empress’s name, effectively making him a legitimate son.

With full backing from the Empress’s family and his Princess Consort being the legitimate eldest daughter of Elder Pei, many civil servants in the Imperial court supported the Fourth Prince.

If he were to marry General He’s niece as a concubine—

The Empress vaguely had such an idea.

The He Family, since He Tian got married, began to focus on He Shu’s marriage.

With Ma as the Matriarch, lessened from He Tian’s complaints and mischief, she no longer kept He Shu confined in the courtyard like before.

He Shu began appearing in the Capital City’s elite circles, and she gradually became good friends with Princess Le Yang.

On Prince Qi’s side, he secretly provided He Shu with considerable support.

He Tian noticed it and, instead of blaming Prince Qi for not knowing how to avoid suspicion, held He Shu entirely accountable.

Thus, the troublemaker started acting foolish again.

While He Shu once more used the situation to her advantage, achieving her goal—

She was not caught with the libertine He Tian had chosen; instead, everyone saw her alone with Fourth Prince, Prince Qin, in a room.
