The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1110 - 421: My Husband Is the Second Male Lead (Part 20)

Chapter 1110: Chapter 421: My Husband Is the Second Male Lead (Part 20)

He Tiantian became famous with just one kick!

The court selected her as the commander to manage the Northwest Army, and anyone with a brain in the capital knew that "He Tian" was going there as a figurehead.

Including members of the He Family like the Ma Family, no one believed He Tiantian truly had the ability to fight.

But, outside the He Family’s main gate, in front of neighbors and passersby, He Tiantian lightly kicked Zhou Jin, a grown man, sending him flying. It was simply too shocking, wasn’t it?!

"No wonder she’s a general’s daughter!"

"I told you, people from the Marquis Ning’s Mansion, even if it’s a woman, are fierce and domineering!"

"Exactly! Oh, General He has a successor!"

"...Or is the Prince just a bit unwell? Or was it just a coincidence?"

The onlookers were buzzing with conversation.

But most people acknowledged "He Tian."

They felt that even if she lacked the ability to command troops, she had a sufficiently high combat power.

Even if she couldn’t be a general, on the battlefield, she wouldn’t be a hindrance.

"Haha! I always said, ’A tiger father does not bear a dog daughter!’"

In the evening, the Emperor heard the news and didn’t feel sorry for his unfortunate son but rather burst with joy.

The He Family had been loyal for generations, crucially, every head of the family was astute.

They didn’t flaunt their achievements, nor did they consider themselves outstanding officials, instead, they continued to follow the Royal Family respectfully.

They didn’t engage in factional struggles, nor participated in the power struggle, they were unwavering royalists.

It’s been almost a hundred years, several emperors have changed, yet the He Family remained as sincere as the first Marquis Ning.

He Jing and the current Emperor shared a harmonious relationship between sovereign and subject.

Through their decade-long friendship, the Emperor sincerely hoped the He Family would continue its legacy.

It was inevitable to redistribute military power, but the Emperor didn’t want the He Family to decline.

Having an heir, especially one who was a woman and their family’s daughter-in-law, the Emperor had no fear at all of "He Tian."

On the contrary, he was delighted for the He Family.

With "He Tian," the He Family could preserve their wealth and status.

As for bypassing "He Tian" to let Zhou Jin command the Northwest Army, the Emperor was even more resistant.

All his sons were his, but he had his favorites.

Laoqi never enjoyed favor, the Emperor never considered including him in the list of heirs.

Securing a reliable Yue Family for Laoqi was already a rare burst of paternal affection from the Emperor.

If Zhou Jin wanted more, the Emperor was the first to refuse.

Of course, Zhou Jin now seemed honest, not like someone ambitious.

Yet, people’s hearts can’t withstand trials; once Zhou Jin holds military power, even if he doesn’t want to, those around him, those who follow him, would be compelled into competition and fights.

Instead of letting an ambitious son loose, it’s better to let a daughter-in-law lead troops into battle.

Amidst laughter, the Emperor had made up his mind.

Thus, when Zhou Jin relentlessly came to the palace to ask the Emperor again, the Emperor outright rejected him.

His reasons were ready-made, "You’re a grown man yet can’t even beat a woman; how can I send you to the Northwest and expect you to command respect?"

The Emperor never led troops but had heard He Jing mention: the military camp highly values strength!

Those low-ranking big-headed soldiers don’t care if you come from noble birth or if you understand military tactics.

If your skills are inferior, no one will respect you!

As for Zhou Jin, being kicked and sent flying by his own wife in public, tsk tsk, let alone those fierce Northwest Army members, even the Emperor felt awkward.

Zhou Jin:... Dear Dad, I am your own son, do you have to dismiss me like this?!

The Emperor shrugged: Each dragon gives birth to different children. Among my dozen sons, naturally, there are outstanding ones, but there will also be those who are worthless.

The Emperor expressed he could accept that among many princes, there might be an unsuccessful one.

Zhou Jin had never been this humiliated before.

His self-esteem suffered the greatest blow.

But, it wasn’t others who ridiculed him and looked down on him, but the supreme sovereign of the Dayuan Dynasty, his own father!

Whether in public or in private, Zhou Jin dared not show dissatisfaction before the Emperor Dad.

He wanted to go home and vent.

However, being entrusted by the Emperor, "He Tian" seemed to have suddenly transformed.

She believed in taking action rather than arguing.

This woman was annoyingly like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, harmless and simple-minded.

Yet, when she acted, she was like a damned female tyrannosaurus.

Several days passed, but Zhou Jin’s back still ached from being kicked.

Unable to provoke!

Nor dared to provoke!

Zhou Jin had a belly full of anger with no outlet, feeling so depressed.

If someone else advised him to seize power from "He Tian," and if the plan failed and resulted in embarrassment, Zhou Jin would definitely harbor resentment.
