The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1090 - 414: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Character (Part 13)_2
"If possible, I wish more than anyone for her to marry a good-for-nothing. That way, she can only envy me and look up to me all her life!"
"But, the Prince he, he—"
At this point, He Tiantian deliberately showed a sad expression.
Seeing He Tiantian’s silly demeanor of "willing to give up everything for Zhou Jin," Madam Ma found it both pitiable and hateful!
She was just so exasperated!
A bright and bold daughter, yet she became so accommodating for a man.
This child, sigh!
Madam Ma was so angry that she wanted to slap her daughter twice, but she couldn’t bear to do it.
In the end, it was all heartache.
"Mom, He Shu wants to marry high, then let her. If she’s living well, the Prince can peacefully spend his days with me!"
He Tiantian’s voice was low, but soon, she puffed out her cheeks and said fiercely, "I’ve done my part, and in the future, if they do anything disgraceful, the world won’t call me malicious anymore, right?"
Hearing He Tiantian’s grudging words, Madam Ma’s heart ached again.
Tiantian’s marriage wasn’t very honorable, and on the wedding night, she was despised by her husband; people outside were laughing.
Now seeing her become "sensible," she must have heard the gossip outside and suffered great grievances.
"Alright! Mom understands!"
A loud drum needs no heavy hammer; Madam Ma was smart and already understood her daughter’s meaning.
Zhou Jin liked He Shu, but had to marry He Tian.
If He Tian and her parents could help He Shu marry a suitable young man, the past debt could be cleared.
And in the future, if He Shu still got entangled with Zhou Jin, then it would be her who lacked shame and gratitude.
The bad reputation shouldn’t be borne by their family’s Tiantian alone.
As for how to help He Shu, Madam Ma had her ways.
He Shu had no father or brothers, which was an unchangeable fact.
But Madam Ma could let the nobles of the Capital City know that their Marquis Nanning’s Mansion highly valued He Shu, the Fourth Miss.
With the "favor" of He Jing and his wife, He Shu would have marriage alliance value.
Madam Ma would prepare more dowry for her, which should fulfill the wishes of He Shu and her mother.
"I knew Mom loves me the most!"
He Tiantian buried herself in Madam Ma’s arms, nuzzling her cheek and acting coquettishly.
Madam Ma wanted to poke her daughter’s forehead but, in the end, couldn’t bear it and instead gently stroked her hair.
This was her own daughter; if she didn’t feel for her, who would?
"By the way, even if we find her a good family, she can’t surpass me!"
"Humph, I’ll always overshadow her in this life!"
Madam Ma: ...
She knew this girl hadn’t truly become so sensible; she was indeed hard to change!
But, this was her daughter, wilful and adorable.
After discussing with her daughter, Madam Ma made up her mind.
When she took He Shu out for social gatherings again, she began to project a clear signal to everyone—
I like He Shu, this niece, so much, and our Marquis also treats her as if she were his own daughter!
And the noblewomen weren’t foolish or blind, naturally receiving Madam Ma’s message.
"The Fourth Miss of the He Family?"
The Fourth Prince sat in the Empress’s palace, listening to his foster mother discussing the list of concubines.
Upon hearing He Shu’s name, his eyes flickered.
It was a coincidence; that day, after leaving the Ministry of Revenue, he missed the meal, so he went to the Star Picking Tower to eat.
Because it was quite late, there weren’t too many customers in the restaurant.
As the Fourth Prince quietly enjoyed his meal, suddenly there was a door-kicking sound from the next room and vague arguments between men and women.
The Fourth Prince couldn’t help but frown.
His quick-witted servant hurried out to check.
After a quarter of an hour, the servant returned with a complicated expression.
He leaned close to the Fourth Prince’s ear and reported softly.
"You mean Seventh Brother ’accidentally met’ his Princess Consort’s cousin at the Star Picking Tower and got caught in the act by the Princess Consort?"
If it was merely Zhou Jin, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t care much.
Zhou Jin was an unfavored, insignificant Prince without a foundation.
Back in the palace, the Fourth Prince hadn’t even glanced at him.
But now, Zhou Jin was different; he had become the son-in-law of General He.
The He Family, which had guarded the Northwest for generations, held the ten thousand-strong He Family Army.
If he could recruit such a powerful minister with a strong military, the Fourth Prince’s chances of success would greatly increase.
One could say that after Zhou Jin’s marriage, he turned from an unnoticed nobody into someone courted by the favored, older Princes!
The Fourth Prince naturally also coveted the He Family’s military power, and earlier, he was thinking about how to connect with He Jing through Zhou Jin.
