Did the Prime Minister Attend Court Today? - Chapter 79

As memories resurface… Zhang Yunhe sat silently beside him, the first time she had ever sat so quietly with this person.

Listening to her words, Mo Yu lowered his head. “Really? But I always thought you hated me! Sometimes I feel like I must have done something to make you hate me. I thought about it and cried a lot, but I still can’t figure it out.” Mo Yu said, unable to help but look up at her.

“What are you talking about?” Zhang Yunhe was completely confused. She had always thought that this person hated her!

“I don’t know what I’m saying either. You don’t need to be angry, because I don’t even know why you’re mad. Our daughter will be out of school soon, I’ll go get her something to eat.” Mo Yu looked at the cold woman in front of him, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Because seeing her made him feel suffocated.

He had barely taken a step when he was hugged from behind, catching him off guard, and he ended up sitting in her lapc.

“What… do you want to do again?” Wasn’t she satisfied yet? If this person didn’t enter his courtyard, that would be fine, but whenever she did, he would have to lie down for a day or two.

Feeling that he was trembling slightly, Zhang Yunhe closed her eyes in pain and rested her head on his shoulder.

“Don’t be afraid of me.” She truly loved this person.

Mo Yu stiffened, afraid to move, because this was the first time this person had hugged him like this. Normally, they hadn’t even held hands.

“You… You’re acting strange today…” Mo Yu’s face felt hot.

Zhang Yunhe closed her eyes, but her voice drifted softly into his ears.

“Let me tell you a story! This is something I’ve never told anyone before.”

“Go ahead…” Mo Yu took a deep breath and lowered his eyes.

“Once upon a time, there was a girl who killed her mother at birth. Her father abandoned her because he believed she was cursed. She was raised by beggars.”

From then on, she followed the beggars to beg. Time passed quickly. When the old beggar died, the little beggar lost her protection, and life became even more difficult. She dreamed of making something of herself, but she was too young, and her aspirations clashed with reality…

Once, when the beggar was about to die, she encountered a young master, and it was she who helped the desperate little beggar find direction in life…

Gradually, the little beggar’s heart grew bigger. Her desire to succeed became stronger, and the only way to succeed was through education.

She sneaked into school to learn. At first, she was almost beaten to death by those young ladies, but she wasn’t afraid. Day by day, she grew older, learned more, and became stronger. Those people could no longer beat her. She went to work and earned money, formally paid the tuition, and started studying… And as the teacher saw her diligent study and quick understanding, she was very pleased and took her in as her adopted daughter. From then on, she had the name Zhang Yunhe.

Time passed quickly, and the once little beggar grew up, becoming a young woman. When she saw the young master again, she felt like the world had exploded.

She fell in love with him without reservation, but the gap between them was like heaven and earth. Knowing it was impossible, she still couldn’t help but appear in front of him at every opportunity, just hoping to hear him say, “Miss, you’re blocking my way.”

At first, she thought it was fine to continue like this, but as time went on, she wanted more. She didn’t want to just watch him happily stand next to another woman from a distance. So, the woman studied hard just to be able to stand by his side.

And finally, she succeeded through her own efforts. On the day of her success in the imperial examination, she was preparing to tell the young man she liked him, but she overheard a conversation between him and her sister. He said, “I already have someone I like. You don’t need to choose a wife for me. I really like her very much.”
