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

Chapter 77 All you need to do is give birth.
To everyone's surprise, the Empress Dowager didn't care at all. "I understand. After all, you've been heartbroken by that scumbag. It's only natural that you don't plan to remarry in the short term. But Shenzhi can wait."

Yunwei had a bit of a headache and corrected her, "I'm not heartbroken either. Li Yaoting isn't good enough for me. I have no intention of getting married again because I think marriage is too much trouble."

"No trouble at all, absolutely no trouble," the Empress Dowager said hastily. "When you marry Shenzhi, all you need to do is give birth; I'll take care of the children for you."

Yun Wei: "..."

How did this turn into talking about having children?

Her lips twitched, and she suddenly understood Rong Zhen's sense of powerlessness in the face of the Empress Dowager.

To avoid the Empress Dowager constantly trying to play matchmaker, she had no choice but to say directly, "You misunderstand, it's just that I don't like him."

"He's quite unlikeable, ever since he was a child. He always has a stern face, as if everyone owes him something," the Empress Dowager remarked with considerable agreement.

Yun Wei: "..."

"But this is only temporary, because you don't know him well enough. Shenzhi is actually a really good person. Don't let my constant complaints about him fool you; he is filial to me, kind-hearted, and never discriminates against women." The Empress Dowager praised her son to the best of her ability.

Yun Wei: "..."

Fortunately, they had arrived at the theater, and the Empress Dowager finally stopped praising Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen stood at the entrance of the theater waiting for the two of them.

As the two approached, he keenly noticed the look in Yunwei's eyes, a look that was hard to describe. Without needing to say anything, he knew that his mother had said something to her.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Let's go in."

Sang Qing had already arrived at the theater and reserved a table.

And it was in the front row.

Once inside the theater, the Empress Dowager had no time to pay attention to Yunwei and Rongzhen anymore.

She looked around, finding everything fascinating.

"It's really more fun to watch a play in a theater," she remarked after sitting down.

Yunwei didn't understand opera very well, so she wasn't particularly enthusiastic about watching it, but most people nowadays really enjoy watching opera.

The last time I brought Tian'er to see a play, she was extremely excited, especially when the performers sang the most exciting parts, she would jump up and clap her hands vigorously.

The current Empress Dowager is also like that.

As soon as the play began, she watched with complete concentration. When the performers on stage sang the most exciting parts, she, like the other audience members, stood up and clapped her hands vigorously, disregarding her status.

He was so excited that he didn't even notice the beauty mark on his face shaking off.

In the entire theater, she and Rong Zhen were probably the only exceptions.

While others watched with great enthusiasm, the two remained completely unmoved.

When the play ended, the Empress Dowager still seemed reluctant to leave.

"I'll come again next time." She glanced at her son as she said this.

Rong Zhen frowned. "If you want to watch a play, just invite the troupe back. You can watch to your heart's content. Why go through all this trouble?"

“Watching plays at home is nowhere near as fun as watching them in a theater. I prefer watching plays in a theater.” The Empress Dowager looked visibly disappointed as she said this.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen stopped criticizing him.

Yunwei could understand the Empress Dowager's feelings.

As people get older, they always crave liveliness. "Mother...!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

Yunwei turned her head and saw a big fat man stumbling and running towards her.

Upon getting closer, he grabbed the Empress Dowager's sleeve, his face beaming with joy, "It really is Mother! I thought I was seeing things."

The Empress Dowager pulled back her sleeve with a look of disgust. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your mother."

Fatty: "..."

He looked at her blankly, then at Rong Zhen beside him. For a moment, doubt arose in his mind. Could it be that he had really mistaken her for someone else?
If so, why is the Empress Dowager dressed like this? And shouldn't she be staying in the palace?
The fat man's expression turned serious, and then he solemnly bowed to the Empress Dowager, saying in a refined manner, "I was impolite and mistook you for someone else. Please forgive me."

Yunwei looked at the fat man strangely. How could anyone mistake their own mother?
Just as she was wondering if there was something wrong with the fat man, the Empress Dowager suddenly slapped the fat man's head hard, "I've raised you for nothing, you can even mistake your own mother."

The fat man, stunned after being slapped on the head, snapped back to reality and angrily retorted, "You old hag, how dare you slap me? Believe me or not, I'll slap you to death!"

Upon hearing this, Yunwei felt something was amiss. The fat man called himself "this king," so wasn't he a prince?

"Come on, come on, take a picture here." The Empress Dowager leaned her head close to the fat man's face.

Looking at the face before him that resembled his mother's, the fat man's raised hand trembled and fell to the ground. "This king is magnanimous and will not hold a grudge against an old woman."

"You unfilial son!" the Empress Dowager scolded angrily.

The fat man's eyes widened. "You...you wouldn't be..."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, her face full of disdain.

How could she have given birth to such a stupid son?
She's clearly quite clever, and the late emperor wasn't stupid either.

The fat man realized what had happened, knelt down before the Empress Dowager, and wept bitterly, saying, "Your son was blind and did not recognize you. Please punish me, Mother." But in his heart, he thought to himself: He had recognized her just now, but his mother herself denied it.

The fat man felt he was being wronged.

"Get up, get up, what are you crying for? Your old mother isn't dead yet." The Empress Dowager was disgusted, but she still reached out and pulled him up.

The fat man smiled through his tears and said in a low voice, "It's rare for Mother to leave the palace, so I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The Empress Dowager also lowered her voice and said, "Alright, alright."

The mother and son held hands and were about to slip away when Rong Zhen's cold voice rang out, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

The Empress Dowager coughed lightly, displaying her maternal authority. "Third son, you don't need to come with me anymore. Your second brother will take me back in a bit. You take Weiwei to get something to eat, and then take her back. It's settled then." With that, she grabbed the fat man's hand and ran off.

The poor fat man was panting heavily as he ran, his entire body jiggling with fat.

Yunwei was amazed by what she saw.

This time, Rong Zhen did not chase after them, but instead instructed Qingfeng, "Protect the Empress Dowager."

"Yes," Qingfeng replied and immediately followed.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had left, Yunwei knew she should go back too. Just as she was about to say goodbye, she heard the man's deep, magnetic voice say, "Let's go."

Yunwei was stunned. "Where are you going? I want to go back."

"My mother told me to take you to get something to eat," Rong Zhen said, while raising his hand to pluck the beard from his face.

Yunwei shook her head, "The Empress Dowager has already left, you don't need to obey."

“It’s lunchtime right now. You’ve spent most of the day with the old lady, so I have to treat you to a meal.” Rong Zhen said firmly.
