The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 907 - 253: Screw Your Tragic Beauty (Part 23)

The little lad is truly handsome, with that exquisite appearance and ethereal temperament, he hardly looks like a child from a poor farming family, rather he seems like a noble son meticulously nurtured by some noble family.

The most wonderful thing is that this child is exceptionally perceptive and clear-headed.

Knowing that his own mother has been granted a royal title, he no longer strives but instead lies back, playing the role of a little spendthrift.

This awareness of the situation, this understanding of choice, absolutely counts as intelligent.

And Emperor Tiantai, as a superior, admires intelligent people who understand propriety and know when to advance or retreat.

Therefore, Emperor Tiantai is quite fond of Tian Jue.

Thus, he allowed him to accumulate wealth within the military and even permitted him to flaunt it publicly.

In the past, Emperor Tiantai esteemed the mother and son of the Tian Family for three reasons: first, Tian Tian is a woman; second, they had no foundation; and third, Tian Jue was clever enough.

They wouldn’t dare cause trouble based on an alien noble’s title and didn’t have the power to stir anything up.

But now, Emperor Tiantai suddenly learned that Tian Tian’s husband, and Tian Jue’s biological father, is in fact Marquis Pingnan, who wields military power in the Southwest.

To be honest, at the moment of hearing this news, a certain nerve in Emperor Tiantai slightly tensed up.

But very quickly, Emperor Tiantai relaxed again.

Because he realized that the mother and son of the Tian Family were still just as clear-headed and aware of their circumstances!

They understood very well what their advantages were, and also what the Royal Family feared.

They wisely stayed out of it!

"Juejue still wants to inherit my title. I was once Tian from the He Family, so naturally, he would be He Jue! But now that I’m no longer related to the He Family, and he’s been abandoned by his biological father, he can only change his surname to Tian!"

Tian Tian raised her head, revealing a pleading expression, and pathetically said:

"Royal brother, our mother and son have only you now, you must stand up for us!"

Emperor Tiantai fixed his gaze on Tian Tian, attempting to discern any abnormality from her eyes.

But, apart from sincerity and wholehearted trust, there was nothing else!

Emperor Tiantai’s taut nerve instantly relaxed—

What Tian Tian said was not wrong, she and Tian Jue could only rely on him, the Emperor.

Marquis Pingnan, He Guozhong, might regret it after learning Tian Tian’s true identity, but he had already made a choice in advance.

Even if He Guozhong tried to make amends after returning to the capital, there was already a rift between him and Tian Tian.

Moreover, there is still Lady Qin and Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion between them.

And Tian Tian’s parents and relatives seem to be unreliable as well.

Haha, a father who, during the "disappearance" of his daughter, can negotiate terms with his son-in-law and accept a divorce document on behalf of his daughter, could hardly be a loving elder?

Emperor Tiantai didn’t even need to investigate Mr. Tian’s character or conduct, just the fact that he exchanged a marriage contract for a divorce document showed that he was unreliable and certainly not a father who cared for his daughter.

Could they not just separate?

Why must he allow the other party to issue a divorce letter?!

It’s likely that Tian Tian’s biological father made a deal with Lady Qin using his daughter Tian Tian as leverage, hence—

Silently sighing inwardly, Emperor Tiantai finally smiled, "Alright, stand up. Though we have no blood relation, you and I are sworn siblings, I will treat you as my own sister!"

Therefore, he would stand up for Tian Tian and her son.

As for the two certificates written by Lady Qin on behalf of He Guozhong, Emperor Tiantai would act as a witness, not allowing anyone to deny their legality for any reason!

"Thank you, big brother, I knew you care for our mother and son the most!"

Yet Tian Tian did not hurry to rise, but continued to request, "After Juejue changes his surname, I wish to establish a family lineage; from my position as the starting point at Prince Pingliang’s Mansion, I shall be the Family Head of the Tian lineage, the founder of our branch."

Thus, Mr. Tian should not assume the role of patriarch or exalted elder.

Even if there is some Tian Family, the branch at Prince Pingliang’s Mansion led by Tian Tian is independent and has no ties with others anymore.

Mr. Tian would at most be considered a relative of the mansion, not a bona fide master!

How clever Emperor Tiantai is, and experienced too, he could easily discern the underlying meaning of Tian Tian’s words.

He looked at Tian Tian with a slight doubt, as if saying: Won’t this make people criticize you for being unfilial?!

Tian Tian only pulled a bitter smile, "Big brother, it’s not that I am unfilial, but my father—"

Tian Tian let out a long sigh, revealing family scandals by recounting how on the road during their flight from famine, Mr. Tian took the initiative to sell off the He Family’s ancestral land, and even considered selling his grandson and attempted to poison his own daughter.

Afterwards, Tian Tian added, "As for my mother, siblings, and nephews, my father claims none of them survived, but I do not believe it!"
