Refusing to let love take a back seat, the scumbag emperor actually seeks favor every day

"Is it really okay to just ignore the old lady?"

Thinking of what Nanny Zhou had said before, Zhang Zhaozhao felt very happy that she was being criticized.

But after all, Madam Zhao was Zhao Yunyi's closest relative and she was the one who had to live under the same roof with him. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want the two of them to have too much awkwardness.

"Don't worry about it. She cherishes her life very much. She is just used to taking advantage of her age. Whenever someone makes her unhappy, she pretends to be sick. She has been pretending for decades."

Zhang Zhaozhao suddenly understood.

She had only been back home with Zhao Yunyi for over a month, and in order to let her rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, he didn't tell her much about these bad things.

Speaking of which, she had lived and eaten with Zhao Yunyi for two years, but it was only after she followed him back that she found out that he was actually the eldest son of Zhao Jian, the national master of Shang State.

And she always thought of him as a pretty and handsome fool at the head of the village, and he never explained it.

When asked why he didn't say it earlier, he replied unwisely: I forgot.

This is obviously impossible, it was obviously intentional!

In theory, the eldest son of a wealthy family should be very favored in the family.

However, Zhao Yunyi is an exception.

Mrs. Zhao gave birth for the second time when he was three years old, but the result was two deaths due to dystocia. After Zhao Jian remarried, he paid more attention to his stepmother's children, and the father and son had little affection.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Yunyi has a better relationship with the servants in this house than with his family members.

As for why Zhao Yunyi came back after being away for two years, it was not because he didn't want to, but he had been recuperating from his injuries for two years and could not come back.

After all, when Zhang Zhaozhao dragged him out from the pile of dead bodies, he was almost out of breath. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive, and it took him two years to recover.

Alas, she just wanted to be a good person and save someone, but she ended up sacrificing herself. It was an accident.

As a herbalist who knows a little about medicine, she has always wanted to be a doctor who saves lives.

It just so happened that Zhao Yunyi was recuperating in her care, and she thought that having a patient like that was a good way to keep him idle, so she often used him to practice and test medicines.

But who knew that one day she made a mistake and fed him a strong love pill, which ended up costing her her life.

When she thought about the pain she had inflicted that day, she couldn't help but sigh that this man was quite capable.

"Does your leg hurt?"

As they were walking, Zhao Yunyi suddenly said something.

"A little bit, don't... eh?!"

She had just said half of her words when Zhao Yunyi picked her up sideways.

This sudden movement made her hug him subconsciously for fear that she would fall to the ground.

"It's just a little bit. You can still walk. Be careful not to hurt your hand."

"It's just a minor injury. I have thick skin, so it won't matter."

Zhao Yunyi had no intention of letting the men go. Along the way, everyone looked at them sideways when they saw the two of them.

He didn't care about other people's eyes at all, but Zhang Zhaozhao felt quite embarrassed.

"Put me down, everyone is watching!"

"Just watch it, anyone who has any objections can go back and hug their own wife."

You really don't listen to any advice!

Just like that day.

She originally thought that their relationship was the result of her own mistake and did not intend to force it.

Unexpectedly, this man forced himself on her and refused to take responsibility. He even thought that she despised him. He felt so wronged that his eyes turned red and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

She was a soft-hearted person, and couldn't bear to see the handsome man cry, so she had to take him in.

Whenever she thinks about this, she still feels that she has blackmailed him and feels very guilty.

If I hadn't taken action first, given his status, his wife should have been a noble lady of equal status, instead of an orphan like her who grew up in the countryside without a father or mother.

"Ayi, do you regret it?"

Zhang Zhaozhao, who was unable to get down, hugged the man's neck and asked softly.

"What do you regret?"

"Marry me."

"Zhao Zhao! I'm going to get angry if you say that again!"

As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and wanted to throw her out of his arms.

"Stop, stop, stop! I won't say anything more!"

Knowing that he wouldn't really do that, Zhang Zhaozhao was still scared and subconsciously hugged him tighter.

Seeing that the person in his arms was obedient, Zhao Yunyi curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

"Don't ask me this kind of thing again. I married you only because I like you and want to marry you, not for anything else."

"Wow, where's the reserved and introverted eldest son who's not good at speaking?"

The man's ears turned red as he was teased for expressing his love so directly.

He used to be like that.

But now facing Zhang Zhaozhao, he can't do that.

No matter how badly he expressed himself, he made it clear what he needed to say. He was afraid that Zhang Zhaozhao didn't know his feelings and would run away.

"Restraint is not as important as keeping the lady."

"Hahahahahahahaha...you can still marry again~"

“…I’m really angry.”

He was indeed angry, and he held her tighter.

Zhang Zhaozhao knew when to stop while he was ahead. It would be no good for him if he really made him angry.

"Okay, no more."

After saying that, she pretended to peck him lightly on the face unintentionally.

The movement was so fast that no one beside him noticed.

Zhao Yunyi's slight displeasure disappeared in an instant, and his ears became even redder.

Even though he could pretend nothing had happened in front of her, deep down, he was still a reserved and self-centered person.

Zhao Yunyi seemed to be trying to cover up her awkwardness. Looking at Zhang Zhaozhao's growing belly, she suddenly asked out of the blue, "Have you thought of a name for the child?"

As soon as he said this, the person in his arms became unhappy.

"The child is mine alone? Why don't you want it?"

"Of course it's for both of us!" Zhao Yunyi quickly explained when he saw that the atmosphere was not right, "I mean, do you have any ideas about naming our child?"

Although she had been pregnant for six or seven months, the two realized that they had not seriously discussed what to name the child.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhaozhao said, "How about boys be called Suiyu, which means to go with the flow, and girls be called Suiyou, which means to do whatever they want?"

"This is great! You are worthy of being my wife!"

Zhao Yunyi applauded without hesitation.

"Little Suiyou, little Suiyou, come out quickly and let daddy spank you~"

Zhang Zhaozhao held his forehead with his hand, already beginning to feel a headache about the fact that his child had such a not-so-smart father.

And she silently said to herself: Don't mind it, kid. It's no use minding it. Mother has no plans to change your father for the time being. Just make do with this.

The two returned to Lanzhiyuan. Zhang Zhaozhao had just been put down. She was just about to let the man who had not had much rest to sleep for a while, when a servant found Zhao Yunyi with a letter.

After reading the letter, Zhao Yunyi's face looked a little gloomy.

He put away the letter he had read and said to her apologetically, "Zhao Zhao, I have something to do and need to leave the house. I may not be able to accompany you today."

Zhang Zhaozhao didn't ask who the letter was from and why it was so urgent, he just nodded.

"Go ahead and do what you want. Be safe on the road. I have Rong'er and the others to accompany me."

He had just returned home not long ago and had a lot of things to deal with.

She couldn't help much, she could only try not to hold him back.
