Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 74: Propose

Tang Shishi initially made up her mind not to give Zhao Chengjun a good face, but Zhao Chengjun did not pursue accountability or cross-examination, instead, he said "sorry" to her as soon as he started to talk. Tang Shishi was a little surprised, and she could not even put a cold face, "Wangye as a high-ranking official is very busy with lofty ambition. How can I afford Wangye to apologize?"

Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly and said, "No matter what, I let you down. On the Dragon Boat Festival... that day was really rushed. You were still asleep, and I couldn't wait for you to wake up. So, I can only ask Liu Ji to look after you. Later, I also blocked the news to protect you too. I didn't expect you to be pregnant."

This kind of thing was Zhao Chengjun's fault anyway. It was not a nobleman's doing to take advantage of other's difficulties. When Tang Shishi woke up, Zhao Chengjun was gone. From her point of view, it was indeed very similar to abandonment and irresponsibilities.

Tang Shishi could not help but smile softly, "Now that Wangye is back, it's natural for you to explain everything as you please. Wangye doesn't want people to know about our relationship, nor doesn't want other people to know about my existence. I understand all of it and Wangye doesn't have to explain it deliberately. By the way, I want to make it clear that I drank every single drop of the child-avoiding soup. As for why I got pregnant, Wangye should go ask Liu Gonggong."

"Child avoiding soup?" Zhao Chengjun couldn't help frowning, "What child-avoiding soup?"

Tang Shishi groaned and said coldly, "Wangye, there is no need to feign ignorance? You don't want to expose what happened that day and I also don't want to. But unfortunately, I was pregnant which damaged Wangye's reputation, your big plan is stranded and also caused a gap between Wangye and your beloved wife."

Zhao Chengjun was silent for a long time, and asked slowly, "Do you think the medicine you drank that day was the child-avoiding soup?"

Tang Shishi scoffed, "Don't tell me it isn't?"

Zhao Chengjun remained speechless for a long time. Before he went on the expedition, he specifically asked Liu Ji to give her a decoction of cold repelling because he felt sorry for Tang Shishi. Unexpectedly, she always thought it was child-avoiding soup.

Even more frightening was that she drank it without objection. It was extremely terrifying to think about it. Zhao Chengjun refused to think deeply and forced himself to stop it, "It's not child-avoiding soup, rather a decoction of cold repelling. I have never thought about child-avoiding soup. I don't like raising children, but by no means to go as far as to do irresponsible things like escaping from the battle. Now that both of you are here, then it's Heaven's will. Heaven destined that I would have a wife and a child."

Zhao Chengjun was very protective of his child in his speech. Just now he directly said to keep the unborn child at all costs. Tang Shishi's mood was more or less stabilized. She caressed her belly with her fingers and suddenly felt gloomy.

This child was Zhao Chengjun's own flesh and blood, of course, he would let the child stay. No matter how a man disliked troublesome, no one would refuse when he really has a child. Tang Shishi did not worry that Zhao Chengjun would treat the child badly. He was not young anymore, and he would treat the child kindly even if it was a concubine's bloodline.

After a long time, Tang Shishi asked, "I naturally believe that Wangye is a responsible person. Whether this child is a son or daughter, it is his good fortune to be reincarnated into Wangye's mansion. What about me? How is Wangye going to appease the Princess Consort? What should I do after giving birth to the child?"

Zhao Chengjun sighed helplessly. He had just hinted that, obviously, Tang Shishi did not understand it at all.

She did not even notice it at all.
