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

Chapter 1 Harmony
On their wedding night, her husband was summoned to war, and they didn't even have time to enter the bridal chamber.

Three years later, her husband returned victorious from the war, only to find that he had an illegitimate child.

Moreover, upon returning, he warned her, the legitimate wife, not to make things difficult for a mistress.

"Yu Niang has suffered a lot with me at the border over the years. Now that she's back, you two should get along well. Yu Niang is simple-minded and won't compete with you for anything. Don't use your household tricks on her!"

Li Yaoting's deep voice echoed in my ears.

Yunwei raised her eyes, looking at the unfamiliar man in front of her with slight surprise.

After three years of fighting on the battlefield, the once carefree young master has transformed into a general with numerous military exploits.

When Yunwei first heard the good news, she was also filled with joy.

After all, for the past three years, she had managed all the affairs of the household to relieve his worries and allow him to focus on rebuilding the family's reputation.

But who knew that this man, who hadn't been home for three years, would return and cause her such embarrassment?
Chen Yuniang!
Isn't this the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chen?

When the Duke of Chen's family was convicted of a crime and exiled to the border, it was a major event in the capital!
So, this is the real reason why he didn't even go to the bridal chamber three years ago, but directly received the imperial decree and packed up to go to the military camp overnight.
He and Chen Yuniang had a secret affair?!

Marrying her was just a pretext?
Back then...

Yunwei's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

"Chen Yuniang is a criminal. Husband, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor for bringing her back so rashly?"

"You don't need to worry about that. The Chen family's case was overturned a few days ago, and the Emperor will restore their title soon. At that time, Yu Niang will still be the young lady of the Duke of Chen's mansion."

Yunwei was somewhat surprised.

She had not heard the news that the Chen family's case had been overturned.

However, it's no wonder that Li Yaoting dared to bring Chen Yuniang back to the capital; he had something to rely on.

"Don't worry, Yu Niang is generous and kind. She won't use her status to pressure you. She said she's willing to be subordinate to you and become my concubine," Li Yaoting then softened his tone.

Yunwei glanced at him.

His words implied that Chen Yuniang was of a higher status than her, but he did not want to compete with her for the position of mistress, so he told her to be sensible and not to provoke Chen Yuniang.

"Can your husband guarantee that she will be willing to be a concubine for the rest of her life?" Yunwei asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting was very dissatisfied. "Do you think Yu Niang is as unreasonable as you? Yu Niang is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chen's family, and she has already given birth to a son for me. Even if I were to request the imperial decree to elevate her to the status of a secondary wife, it would be an injustice to her! But she pities you for your many contributions to the Li family over the past three years and does not want to upset you, so she has been trying her best to dissuade you."

Yunwei wanted to laugh. Did he mean she should thank Chen Yuniang for what he said?
She agreed to the marriage initially, but the old lady pleaded with her repeatedly, and he himself passionately declared at the Yun residence that he would only marry one person in his life.

They forgot about it so quickly.

But now it seems it was all an act!

Seeing that she lowered her eyes and remained silent, Li Yaoting frowned and said impatiently, "If you have no objections, I will bring Yu Niang to see you tomorrow."

Yun Wei looked up. "I won't see you."

"What?" Li Yaoting didn't expect her to refuse. His brows furrowed, both stunned and angry.

Yunwei glanced at him, then suddenly raised her voice, "Did you hurt your ears in the war? I said, I won't see Chen Yuniang. If you want to take a concubine, fine. We'll get a divorce first."

"you!"

Li Yaoting's once handsome face turned ashen. He said angrily, "I tried to reason with you, and you're so unreasonable, threatening me with divorce? Go and see, in the capital, which respectable man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"

It's ridiculous that they can't control their lust and even glorify philandering as a symbol of power.

Yunwei was too lazy to say anything more to him.

"Li Yaoting, whether you're threatening me or just being unreasonable, I'll make this clear: you can take a concubine, but you must first get a divorce. Let's leave it at that for today. I need to rest."

"Tian'er, see the guest out." Yunwei summoned her personal maid.

"Yun! How dare you! You dare to call me by my given name! I am determined to marry Yu Niang, and you have committed one of the seven grounds for divorce..."

With a "bang..." sound.

Before Li Yaoting could finish speaking, Yun Wei, unable to wait for the maid to come up, pushed Li Yaoting out directly.

Ok?
Outside the door, Li Yaoting stared at the tightly closed door, completely bewildered.

He was a general who fought on the battlefield, how could he be so easily pushed out by a woman?

But Li Yaoting was only puzzled for a moment.

A man's dignity was hurt, which caused him to break down.

He spoke harshly to the tightly closed door, "Yun family! Stop with your tricks! Divorce? Will the Yun family still accept you after a divorce? Although you have Yun family blood in your veins, in the eyes of the Yun family, Yun Yao is the jewel in their palm. They would rather you marry as far away as possible! Think it over carefully!"

After saying that, Li Yaoting turned and left.

"Miss, the young master has really gone too far." The maid, Tian'er, said angrily, her eyes reddening.

“In the three years since you married into the Li family, if it weren’t for your dowry to help them, the Li family would have collapsed long ago. But the son-in-law is different. He hasn’t come back for three years, and when he does, he wants to take a concubine into the family. She’s even had a son. What will you do if the son-in-law never consummates the marriage and you don’t have a legitimate son to rely on?”

"And Madam, the news that the son-in-law wants to take a concubine has spread far and wide, yet no one has been sent to comfort him, sob sob sob..."

As Tian'er spoke, she became so aggrieved that she started to cry.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei was both amused and exasperated.

But she still tried to comfort her, "Tian'er, isn't it better that you don't have any children? Otherwise, there would be ties between you and the divorce. As for my mother, what difference does it make whether she comes or not? Anyway, we have money and shops, and we don't need the Yun family to back us up!"

That's true.

Miss's words were always so incisive that Tian'er's worries suddenly faded.

"Miss……"

"Madam, the old lady requests your presence."

Sweetie wanted to ask if Miss had any snacks she wanted, so she could go to the kitchen to make some.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the old lady's maid come over to invite someone.

Yunwei frowned.

No sooner had Li Yaoting left than the old lady sent someone over. Was she worried that she had been wronged, or was she eager to know her attitude toward Li Yaoting taking a concubine?
