Chapter 118 Is this your little princess?

"Honey, who is this?"

Madam Huang walked to Huang Chao's side, glanced at Yun Zhaozhao, and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This is Miss Yun Zhaozhao, the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Miss Yun, this is my wife, Zeng Li."

Zeng Li had obviously heard of Yun Zhaozhao before. "So you are Miss Yun. I've heard so much about you."

"You're too kind, Madam. Just call me Zhaozhao."

Yun Zhaozhao said with a smile that she felt Zeng Li's hostility towards her had lessened considerably, perhaps because she knew that Zeng Li was Pei Jiuyan's ex-wife. It seemed that this Madam Huang was not completely unaware of Huang Chao's affairs outside.

“I have met your mother before; she is a very learned person.”

Zeng Li and Yun Zhaozhao started chatting. Just then, someone came to invite Huang Chao for drinks. Huang Chao said goodbye to the two of them and left.

Yun Zhaozhao and Zeng Li chatted for a while longer, then Zeng Li picked up her cup and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she glanced at the documents and said indifferently, "Miss Yun's personality is still too soft. Some green tea bitches should be punished."

After saying this, Zeng Li left, leaving Yun Zhaozhao looking surprised.

Rumor has it that Huang Chao and his wife are very loving, and that Mrs. Huang is a very gentle person. I only realized today that he is a very sentimental person.

Her words just now had a hidden meaning. Is it possible that she actually knew about the shady dealings between Huang Chao and Wenshu?

Yun Zhaozhao was lost in thought when Zhou Xiao nudged her: "The document is here."

Yun Zhaozhao looked up and, sure enough, saw the scribe carrying a glass of juice and walking towards them.

"Zhaozhao, it's been a long time."

The clerk looked at Yun Zhaozhao with a beaming smile, adopting the posture of a victor.

Zhou Xiao, standing to the side, couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "So shameless."

The clerk glanced at Zhou Xiao and said calmly, "Miss Zhou, your father is over there with Uncle Fu. Should I go and invite him over?"

Zhou Xiao's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Yun Zhaozhao, of course, couldn't stand by and watch her friend be outdone by Wenshu. She stepped in front of Zhou Xiao and looked at Wenshu with a mocking expression: "What? You haven't even become the daughter-in-law of the Fu family yet, and you're already putting on airs?"

“Clerk, you should know very well how this engagement came about.”

The clerk wasn't angry at all; instead, she said smugly, "So what if I'm powerful because of my son?"

"Let's talk about it after your baby is born. Be careful not to make a mistake like last time."

Yun Zhaozhao knew how to make the scribe unhappy. Sure enough, the scribe's expression turned cold upon hearing this, but quickly recovered. She glanced at Yun Zhaozhao's already showing belly and said in a voice that was only loud enough for the two of them, "I'll say the same to you. Do you really think Pei Jiuyan will see this bastard child born? Yun Zhaozhao, you still don't understand him at all."

In the past, Yun Zhaozhao might have actually believed it, or even if she didn't, the incident would have still had an impact on her.

At this moment, Yun Zhaozhao realized just how much she had cared about the document and how often she was influenced by it.

Seeing that Yun Zhaozhao was not provoked by her as usual, the scribe frowned.

Seeing the change in her expression, Yun Zhaozhao said sarcastically, "What era are we living in? Can't you change your routine? I suggest you take a class and learn from scratch."

Yun Zhaozhao had never lost a verbal duel with Wenshu, and Wenshu's face turned extremely ugly for a moment.

"What are you talking about?"

Fu Shangluo walked over at some point, but he didn't look at the documents; his gaze was entirely on Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao was wearing a very ordinary sundress. On other people, it would make them look pregnant, but on her, it looked beautiful no matter how you looked at it.

"It's nothing, we were just talking about the kids."

The clerk managed a forced smile; anyone could tell she had just been wronged. However, Fu Shangluo seemed oblivious, continuing to talk to Yun Zhaozhao. To those with a discerning eye, the clerk became a laughingstock.

The clerk's smile was about to fade when Fu Le came over: "Brother, Mom needs to talk to you."

Fu Shangluo nodded upon hearing this, said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, and then left.

When Fu Le left, she glanced at Yun Zhaozhao with a very unhappy expression. Yun Zhaozhao and she had never gotten along since childhood, and she didn't take her dissatisfaction to heart.

In Fu Le's mind, everything she did was wrong, even breathing was wrong.

She waited for Fu Le to make a move, but instead, he blurted out, "You're really annoying."

After uttering this nonsensical remark, Fu Le ran off. Yun Zhaozhao laughed in exasperation, "If I weren't inconvenient right now, I would have given her a good beating."

She and Fu Le often fought when they were young. They were about the same age and had bad tempers, so they often fought. She usually won, and Fu Le would cry every time she beat him.

"Oh, I don't think I've seen Grandpa Fu today."

Wen Jingyu suddenly spoke up.

Reminded by him, Yun Zhaozhao realized that she had indeed not seen Old Master Fu.

I heard that Grandpa Fu went to another city for recuperation, but he didn't come back for such a big event as Fu Shangluo's engagement.

Yun Zhaozhao noticed something unusual about this matter; it seemed that the document's attempt to gain status through her son would likely involve some trouble.

Over there, Fu's mother called Fu Shangluo over, frowning as she asked, "Shangluo, what exactly are you doing?"

Her son's recent behavior has disappointed her greatly. First, he insisted on pursuing Yun Zhaozhao despite their objections, and that was bad enough. Now, he has actually had a child with Wenshu.

She found out what kind of person the clerk was in just a few hours. On the surface, she was an adopted daughter of Pei's mother, but everyone knew what she really was.

Yun Zhaozhao is at least a proper princess in the Beijing social circle, but Wenshu is really not up to par.

She strongly disapproved of the engagement, but considering the child in Wenshu's belly, she compromised, because given her son's obsessive nature towards Yun Zhaozhao, she didn't know how long the trouble would last.

With so many people around today, he completely ignored his fiancée but was very attentive to Yun Zhaozhao. It's enough to give anyone a headache just thinking about it.

"Shangluo, now that you've decided to pursue a career in government, you need to be more careful. Your every move is being watched, so you can't be as carefree as before."

"I understand, Mom."

Fu Shangluo gave his mother a few perfunctory words, and when he went to find Yun Zhaozhao after comforting her, he found that she was already standing next to Pei Jiuyan.

His eyes narrowed slightly. Even if they were divorced, would they still be entangled together?

That's really impressive!

Yun Zhaozhao was unaware that Fu Shangluo had misunderstood again. She had come to save the day. Although she was chatting with Zhou Xiao and the others, she was still keeping an eye on Pei Jiuyan. She noticed that Pei Jiuyan's expression was a little strange after someone appeared.

Those unfamiliar with him might not notice, but Yun Zhaozhao immediately recognized his blank expression, clearly indicating that he didn't know who the person in front of him was.

Yun Zhaozhao hadn't expected that she would actually be of any use, so she hurriedly went over.

"Pei Jiuyan."

She walked over to Pei Jiuyan's side, and Pei Jiuyan smiled at her and said, "Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."

To everyone's surprise, the man said, "Pei, is this your little princess?"
