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

Chapter 72 Your Highness, Why Don't You Marry Me?

Yun Wei was initially annoyed, but after hearing the last sentence he said, she paused and asked with a half-smile, "Is the Regent worried about me?"

Rong Zhen: "..."

Yunwei smiled and deliberately leaned closer. "Instead of going to all the trouble of finding someone else for me, Your Highness might as well marry me yourself."

Rong Zhen's handsome face showed surprise.

As he looked at the beautiful face that was getting closer, his Adam's apple bobbed. Realizing what was happening, he quickly reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, pushing her away slightly. He said with a serious expression, "Master Yun, don't joke like that."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious." Yun Wei blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly.

Rong Zhen's handsome brows furrowed, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "But I can't..."

“Oh right, Your Highness won’t do. If I marry you, I’ll be living the life of a widow.” Yun Wei retreated to her seat with a sullen expression.

Rong Zhenjun's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "What I mean is that I am not suitable for you."

"Oh," Yun Wei replied perfunctorily.

Rong Zhen: "..."

A shadow fell over his eyes; this woman really knew how to embarrass others.

Thinking it over, he narrowed his phoenix eyes and sneered, "I didn't realize that the Yun family would be willing to be someone else's mistress."

Yunwei's pupils contracted, and she gritted her teeth.

Needless to say, this was also spread by Qingfeng's gossipy mouth.

"I never would have guessed that Your Highness is such a gossip," Yunwei remarked sarcastically.

Rong Zhen: "..."

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling that something was wrong with him ever since he met this woman.

"I apologize," he said after a moment, "I misspoke."

Yunwei looked at him in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the dignified Regent actually apologized to her.

She paused, her expression softening slightly. "I can't blame you, but... there's no sugar daddy here. I am my own sugar daddy. Those words were deliberately fabricated by my stepsister to ruin my reputation."

Rong Zhen nodded, "I believe you."

Yun Wei smiled slightly, turned her gaze to the window, and suddenly found that even the ordinary plants and trees outside had become lovely.

The atmosphere became much more harmonious after that, even though the two of them didn't speak again.

Before long, the carriage arrived at the Cui residence.

As soon as Yunwei got off the carriage, she saw Dahuang.

The two stared at each other for a while, then Da Huang suddenly got up, barked a few times at her, and then charged towards her.

Seeing this, Yunwei's legs went weak with fright, her face turned pale, and she turned to run away, but she didn't notice the person standing behind her.

With a "thud," her head bumped into the other person's chest.

Her mind went blank. As if grasping at a straw, she instinctively jumped up, wrapping her arms and legs around the other person, her voice broken, "The dog... the dog is going to bite me..."

Rong Zhen was knocked off balance and before he could react, the woman's soft body pressed tightly against him.

The sudden embrace of the soft, fragrant body made him stiffen, and his handsome face flushed red.

Coming to his senses, he raised his hand to push the other person away, but when he noticed the other person's trembling body, he paused and gave up.

Sang Qing watched with wide eyes.

Why did the Yun family suddenly start throwing themselves at their master?
He raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and realized it wasn't a hallucination. He was immediately overjoyed.

Since the Yun family is taking such initiative, Master should certainly live up to their expectations.

At this moment, Yunwei closed her eyes in fear, her body trembling violently.

In her entire life, the thing she feared most was dogs.

Whenever she sees a dog, she freezes up, and if a dog lunges at her, she forgets that she knows martial arts.

Having come so many times before, Da Huang has always been quite well-behaved, only barking occasionally before lying back down.

But today is so unusual.

Past experience told her that the way Da Huang was rushing towards her meant it was going to bite her.

However, after a long while, the expected pain did not come. Silence enveloped her, and even the barking of the dogs ceased. She finally realized something was wrong and slowly opened her eyes, only to meet the man's dark, complex gaze.

And the air was filled with a crisp, pine-like scent.

A look of confusion crossed her face; she didn't quite understand what was going on.

Seeing her like this, Rong Zhen paused and softened his voice, saying, "The dog isn't trying to bite you; it's welcoming you. Don't be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was startled and came to her senses. Only then did she realize how close she was to Rong Zhen; her face was almost touching his chin.

It was only then that she remembered that in her panic, she had grabbed someone and jumped onto that person.

And this person was Rong Zhen.

Thinking about the stupid thing she had done, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red and hot. She hurriedly jumped off him and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Her face turned bright red; she had never felt so humiliated before, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Seeing her flushed and embarrassed face, Rong Zhen's eyes flashed with a smile.

At this moment, she had lost her usual shrewdness, but gained a touch of cuteness.

Yunwei suppressed her embarrassment and felt she should explain, but when she opened her mouth, all that came out was an apology.

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head.

Looking at the woman's dark hair, Rong Zhen paused for a moment and said gently, "It's alright, Master Yun, you don't need to worry about it."

He realized that this eloquent and exceptionally capable woman was afraid of dogs.

He was deeply surprised, after all, she gave the impression of being strong and skilled in martial arts.

Seeing that he didn't ridicule her, Yunwei finally relaxed and felt less embarrassed.

Rong Zhen squatted down and touched the big yellow dog by the roadside.

Big Yellow wagged its tail and rubbed affectionately against his leg.

Rong Zhen played with it for a while before getting up and saying, "Let's go inside."

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded and was about to leave when Da Huang suddenly came over and rubbed against her legs, looking affectionate and ingratiating.

Her body stiffened, and she stared at Big Yellow in fear.

Big Yellow seemed to realize that she didn't like him, so he drooped his tail and walked away dejectedly.

“Dahuang likes you and wants to get close to you.” At this moment, Rong Zhen’s voice rang out behind her.

Upon hearing this, she clenched her fingers, looked at Big Yellow who had already walked away, and felt a pang of guilt.

She not only misunderstood Big Yellow, but it seems she also hurt its feelings.

She lowered her head and entered the room listlessly.

Looking at the woman's retreating figure, Rong Zhen's eyes revealed deep thought.

What happened to her in the past, and why is she so afraid of dogs?

Her reaction just now was clearly due to the trauma left by her past experiences, so when she saw the dog running towards her, it became a stress response.

"Yunwei, Your Highness, you've arrived."

As soon as I entered, Aman greeted me with joy.

"Aman," Yunwei nodded, "How are General Cui's preparations going? He'll start the medicinal bath today."

"He's ready and has been waiting for you." Aman smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling with hope.

Just then, Sang Qing brought in some medicinal herbs. Yun Wei picked out a few and handed them to Aman, saying, "Put these in a pot and boil them."

Aman carefully accepted it.

Yunwei followed her to the kitchen and instructed her on how to decoct the medicinal herbs.

When they came out, Rong Zhen was playing chess with Cui Shao in the courtyard.

“…Shenzhi, I’ve heard that the Yue Kingdom has been frequently active on the border recently, and they may have ambitions to invade our Wei Kingdom. Be careful,” Cui Shao said while playing chess.

"Yes, I have received the secret report," Rong Zhen said calmly.

Moon Country?

Yunwei paused in her steps.
