Chapter 30: Such a Face

Otherwise, why would the Emperor bestow a twice-married woman upon the Regent King as his wife? Wasn’t this a public slap in the face of the Regent King?

As the one below the Emperor, the Regent King, who held the power of ten thousand men, could marry any woman he desired. How could he possibly have his eyes on a woman like her, someone without a family background and a twice-married woman at that?

Could it be that the rumors were true?

It seemed she needed to have someone thoroughly investigate this matter. See if it was the Emperor’s doing or what.

Countless thoughts raced through Yunzhi’s mind, but her face remained unchanged. She turned and handed the imperial decree to Rumei who stood beside her.

As for Yuncheng, if it wasn’t for Zhou Dehai’s presence, he would have already rushed to Yunzhi’s side.

He regretted it!

If he had known Yunzhi would have such a great fortune, he wouldn’t have severed ties with her for anything. She was the Regent King’s wife after all.

With this status, not only would the Yun family benefit, but he wouldn’t have to worry about the looks of his colleagues anymore. Perhaps they would even fawn over him.

After all, he was the Regent King’s father-in-law.

Yunzhi instructed Rulan to prepare a reward for Zhou Dehai, and then invited him to sit down for tea.

Zhou Dehai naturally understood Yunzhi’s intentions and didn’t make a fuss, readily sitting down.

After sitting down, before Yunzhi could speak, he took the initiative to say, “This imperial decree was personally requested by the King.”

“What?” Yunzhi was quite surprised. She never dreamed that this would be a personally requested imperial decree from the Regent King.

Of course, even knowing the origin of the imperial decree, Yunzhi didn’t feel happy. Instead, she felt that the Regent King was sick. Otherwise, why would he choose her, a twice-married woman, over all the noble ladies?

Seeing Yunzhi’s surprised expression, Zhou Dehai’s face broke into a smile. However, he didn’t say anything more. Some things were better left for Yunzhi to discover on her own.

Rulan quickly prepared the reward, and Yunzhi took the pouch she prepared and handed it to Zhou Dehai, saying to him, “Zhou Gonggong has worked hard today. This is some tea money, please accept it.”

“Of course, of course!” Zhou Dehai accepted the pouch with a smile and quickly took his leave.

As soon as Zhou Dehai left, Yuncheng jumped right out. At this moment, he had become a good father, looking at Yunzhi with a face full of love, not to mention saying some nice words.

“Zhi’er, your father has always known you were capable, and now it’s proven true. Look, haven’t you become a phoenix overnight? Isn’t that right?”

“Lord Yun, why haven’t you left yet?” Yunzhi looked at Yuncheng with a cold face. Don’t think she didn’t know what he was up to.

Not to mention they had already signed a contract, even if they hadn’t, she wouldn’t let the Yun family benefit from her.

A family that only gives birth but doesn’t raise, what right do they have to benefit from her?

“Zhi’er, how can you talk to your father like that?” Yuncheng was a little unhappy. However, thinking of Yunzhi’s current status, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, “Zhi’er, your father knows you’re happy, and so am I. However, your status is different now, so don’t stay in this place. Come home with your father.”

“Will you leave or not? If you don’t leave, I’m going to use a broom on you.” Yunzhi had no mood to act out any father-daughter affection with Yuncheng here, and directly told him to leave.

Seeing Yunzhi being so unfeeling, Yuncheng’s face turned a bit ugly.

However, he quickly recovered and put on a smiling face again.
