The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 120 Rong Zhen may just have that kind of fetish.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then said slowly, "I only regret not meeting you sooner. If I had met you sooner, you wouldn't have married Li Yaoting and gone through all those terrible things."

Yun Wei was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rong Zhen glanced at her, then suddenly grasped her hand and said, "You're very good. I'm actually quite glad that Li Yaoting was blind; otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten a divorce."

Yunwei's eyelashes trembled, and she came to her senses. As if she had been burned, she quickly broke free from his hand.

In fact, the two had quite a few physical contacts.

Previously, their relationship was that of doctor and patient, so she didn't think much of it. But now that Rong Zhen has the idea of ​​marrying her, the situation is different.

His every move made her feel inexplicably flustered.

She forced herself to remain calm and met the man's gaze, saying, "But at the moment, I have no intention of remarrying."

“I know.” Rong Zhen nodded, indicating his understanding. “After all, your last relationship just ended not long ago. It will take time for you to get over it. I can wait.”

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Yunwei opened her mouth to explain, "Actually, I..."

"What?" Rong Zhen looked at her patiently.

Meeting his deep eyes, Yunwei was momentarily speechless.

Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Rong Zhen paused and said gently, "The imperial decree has already been issued. You don't want to get married immediately, but we can get engaged first."

"Are you serious?" Yun Wei frowned.

Rong Zhen looked at her intently. "If it were up to me, I would like to marry you immediately, but obviously you need some time to adjust. So, let's get engaged first."

Yunwei turned her head away uncomfortably to avoid his burning gaze.

Rong Zhen smiled and said in a low voice, "Then let's get engaged in a couple of days, and talk about it after the wedding."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was somewhat taken aback and immediately turned to look at him. "Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?"

"Today, Xuanyuan Ke even specifically asked to marry you, but I stopped him by saying that you are already my fiancée. If we don't settle things soon, I'm worried he won't give up."

Or would you rather marry into the Yue Kingdom and marry Xuanyuan Ke? Rong Zhen frowned as he said this.

Yun Wei immediately shook her head, "Of course not."

"That's good." Rong Zhen's expression relaxed slightly, and he reached out to pat her shoulder. "I'll have someone arrange the engagement; you don't need to worry about anything."

Yunwei didn't know what to say.

How did things get to this point?
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Sang Qing said from outside, "Master, County Princess, we have arrived at Qingyi Garden."

Rong Zhen paused, then looked at Yun Wei, "Then you go in first, I won't go in."

Yunwei nodded and quickly got off the carriage.

She's now hoping Rong Zhen will leave as soon as possible.

How did the two of them get to the point of discussing marriage?

She's not used to it at all.

Seeing her in such a hurry, as if a raging flood or a ferocious beast was chasing her, Rong Zhen paused and couldn't help but call out to her, "When are you moving to the county princess's mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Yunwei had no choice but to stop, turn around and glance at him, then shook her head. "Let's see." After saying that, she ignored him and quickly entered Qingyi Garden.

Rong Zhen watched her figure disappear quickly by the gate of the mansion, and gave a slight bitter smile.

This woman is too calm; it won't be easy to coax her into marriage.

But regardless, she did not object to the two getting engaged first.

Once she's engaged, it's not easy for her to go back on her word.

Thinking of this, he turned and got into the carriage, instructing Qingfeng, "Go and invite the Imperial Observatory."

"Yes."

...At this time, Cining Palace.

After treatment by the imperial physicians, the Empress Dowager's condition was finally brought under control, and she regained consciousness.

She sat inside the bed curtains, her face flushed red, as if congested with blood, her body trembling uncontrollably, clearly angered.

She still remembers the situation when the drug took effect.

The thought that his dignity had been destroyed today filled him with a burning rage, and he wished he could tear Yun Wei apart.

That little bitch, how dare she?
She will not let this humiliation she suffered today go unpunished.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "By imperial decree, Princess Rong'an has committed treason and attempted to poison me. Bring her here immediately to be punished."

Rong Xin hadn't left yet. Hearing her mother's words, she frowned and said, "Mother, please calm down. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

"I've already been ruined by that little wretch, and you still want to take things slowly?" The Empress Dowager was furious.

Rong Xin cautioned, "Princess Rong'an has just rendered meritorious service to the court, and for the Empress Dowager to punish her now would likely arouse suspicion among the officials. Furthermore, with the Imperial Uncle protecting her, we cannot touch her. Besides, the incident occurred in the Empress Dowager's palace; I fear the Imperial Uncle might use this to his advantage, claiming that the Empress Dowager not only framed Princess Rong'an but also fabricated baseless charges." She paused, her voice lowering, "If word gets out that the Empress Dowager has been drugged, it will only damage her reputation."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager gripped the quilt tightly.

She certainly couldn't bear the embarrassment.

But she couldn't bring herself to swallow her anger.

"If open methods don't work, then we'll do it covertly. I'm determined to take that little slut's life."

Rong Xin asked in confusion, "Mother, why would you make things difficult for Princess Rong'an out of the blue?"

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, then offered a reason for herself: "If it weren't for her meddling today, Your Majesty would have had the opportunity to punish the Regent and take back his power. I was just angry, so I wanted to teach her a lesson."

Rong Xin's expression softened slightly. "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mother." He paused, then continued, "Actually, I already have a plan that might be able to take back the power he holds."

The Empress Dowager lifted the curtain in surprise, "What method?"

Rong Xin said, "For so many years, the Imperial Uncle has never had a woman by his side, but today he accepted my bestowed marriage. He even asked me to issue an imperial decree for the marriage. Doesn't Mother think this is unusual?"

The Empress Dowager clenched her fingers. "What's unusual about this?"

“If it were based on the Imperial Uncle’s usual style, he would definitely not have accepted the bestowed marriage. But he accepted it today. Moreover, he even had me issue an imperial edict to bestow the title of County Princess upon Yunwei. This is really unusual. It can only mean one thing: the Imperial Uncle values ​​Yunwei very much and had already conceived the idea of ​​marrying her before today,” Rong Xin pondered.

He felt he had humiliated Rong Zhen today, but upon reflection, he realized he might have been used.

"That's impossible!" the Empress Dowager exclaimed, shaking her head in agitation.

Rong Xin frowned. "Why is Mother so agitated? And how can it be impossible?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager realized her lapse in composure. She forced a smile and said, "The Emperor's guess is certainly reasonable to some extent, but don't forget that Lady Yun has been married and divorced. Would your Imperial Uncle really be interested in a withered woman?"

Rong Xin pursed her lips and remained silent.

In fact, he had thought of this as well, which is why he arranged the marriage for them, with the aim of embarrassing Rong Zhen.

Wasn't he always aloof and superior?

Marrying such a woman would be a joke.

But now, judging from all the circumstances, he was wrong.

Perhaps Rong Zhen has that kind of fetish, liking women who have been married before?

Otherwise, why would he not marry for so many years, and now that he wants to marry, the woman is still the same kind of woman?

Despite this, he still held firm to his opinion.

After all, he had finally found a weakness in Rong Zhen, so how could he not take advantage of it?

No one knows a son better than his mother. Seeing her son's calculating expression, the Empress Dowager asked, "What do you want to do?"
