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

Chapter 10 The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf

Li Mingzhu also looked displeased and said, "How does the Yun family manage the household? Why are there only these few dishes every meal? Where are my shark fin and abalone?"

Looking at the dishes on the table, Old Madam Li's expression turned very unpleasant. She couldn't help but recall what Yunwei had said the other day: "The Li family is just waiting to collapse."

My heart sank.

Actually, the number of dishes on the table started to decrease yesterday.

At first, she didn't take it to heart.

After all, in the past few years, because Madam Yun had been in charge of the household, she had managed the mansion very well and the meals were always plentiful, so she didn't feel anything was wrong with occasionally eating something lighter.

But now that Chen Yuniang was visiting for the first time, she was being served such meager food, and she immediately felt ashamed.

At that moment, she frowned and said, "Someone, go and bring Yun Shi back."

A servant immediately went to fetch him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuniang understood what was going on.

It turned out that it wasn't the Li family who mistreated her; it was Yun who was behind it.

Thinking it over, she said, "I never imagined the Yun family would be so ruthless. Mother and you have truly suffered all these years."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li knew that she had misunderstood.

Actually, before yesterday, the Li family was doing quite well.

Although the accountant had long been out of money, Yun's dowry filled the gap, and over the years they had not only eaten well every meal, but Yun also often fed her bird's nest and abalone.

But given how heartless Yun is right now, she certainly won't say anything good about her.

Moreover, if Chen Yuniang can take charge of the family in the future, the Li family will still be able to live a prosperous life.

After all, the Chen family is about to rise again.

Compared to the Duke of Chen's mansion, what is the Marquis of Pingning's mansion?
Thinking of this, she sighed and lamented, "What a misfortune for our family."

Chen Yuniang immediately comforted her, "Mother, don't be sad. After I marry into the family, I will definitely manage our Li family in an orderly manner and never let you suffer such injustice again." After saying that, she looked at the old lady Li's reaction.

Madam Li had originally intended for her to take over the mess in the Li family. Upon hearing this, her face immediately showed kindness. "Yu Niang is truly thoughtful. Once you enter the family, I will take the initiative to hand over the management of the household to you."

Chen Yuniang was secretly pleased. It seemed that Old Madam Li was happy to see her in charge of the household.

Li Mingzhu beamed with joy, took her arm, and shook it, saying, "Good sister-in-law, when are you coming in?"

Chen Yuniang smiled and glanced at Madam Li, "I will follow Madam's arrangements."

Madam Li wished she could come in right now.

In this way, she would be able to see her beloved grandson every day, and with Chen Yuniang in charge, the Li family would be able to get out of their current predicament.

What is the Yun family anyway?

With this in mind, she began to ponder.

Isn't it just taking a concubine?

It's not necessary for the Yun family to agree.

I discussed it with her before, just to save her face.

Since she's being so tactless, there's no need to give her any face.

She coughed lightly and said, "I will have someone choose an auspicious day to welcome Yu Niang into the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang was overjoyed.

Li Yaoting was also very happy. As long as Yu Niang entered the family, no matter how much trouble Yun Shi wanted to cause, it would be useless, and she could only obediently accept it.

When Yunwei returned to the manor, it was already dark. As soon as she stepped into the backyard, she saw Li Mingzhu enjoying the cool air in the pavilion.

Seeing her return, Li Mingzhu rose from the stone bench, gently fanning herself with a round fan, and questioned, "Yun Shi, where have you been? Why are you so late?"

Yun Clan?

Yunwei stopped and gave her a scrutinizing look.

Li Mingzhu usually calls her very affectionately, always calling her "sister-in-law" this and "sister-in-law" that, but today he actually called her "Yun Shi".
A sarcastic look crossed her face.

Over the years, she has given Li Mingzhu many good things, and she is always very sweet-talking whenever she sees her. Now her attitude has changed drastically, which means that Chen Yuniang has promised her even more benefits.

What an ungrateful person.

"Do I need to report to you where I go?" she said dismissively. "Besides, take off that Xiangyun yarn dress you're wearing!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhu looked somewhat uncomfortable, but still said confidently, "How can you take back something you gave away?"

"If you're not embarrassed, why should I be? Someone as heartless as you doesn't deserve to wear this!" Yun Wei said with a stern face. "Take it off, or I'll have to do it myself."

Li Mingzhu remained unmoved and even retorted sarcastically, "No wonder my elder brother doesn't love you. You are so narrow-minded and petty, you are really not fit for a refined manner. You deserve to live a widow's life! Besides, my sister-in-law Yu Niang will be entering the mansion soon. When that happens, you can expect to be divorced."

"Sister-in-law Yu Niang? You call a concubine 'sister-in-law'? Li Mingzhu, you've really got guts!" Yun Wei said disdainfully.

Li Mingzhu's expression stiffened for a moment, then she said with a stiff neck, "My brother will make her his official wife sooner or later. Who will be the concubine then is still uncertain."

"Whether she'll become the official wife or not, I can't say. But you, you just want to be a concubine in the Wen family, and they wouldn't even look at you," Yun Wei said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhu's face turned ashen, as if someone had touched a sore spot. "You...I...I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" With that, she rushed out of the pavilion, acting like a shrew, waving her hands and lunging at Yun Wei, trying to pull her hair.

Yunwei looked at her coldly.

Just as Li Mingzhu was about to touch her, she suddenly reached out, pulled open Li Mingzhu's belt, and with a clever move, easily tore off her dress.

Li Mingzhu felt a chill on her body, and before she could react, she was kicked in the buttocks.

She was already standing on the edge of the pool when she lost her balance and fell forward.

"Gudong!"

She fell headfirst into the pool in front of her.

Watching her struggle in the water, Yunwei stood on a rock, looking down at her, and then, in front of Li Mingzhu, tore the Xiangyun yarn in her hand to shreds.

Li Mingzhu screamed in anger, "Stop! Stop!"

Yunwei threw the rag in her hand at her face, her expression icy. "My things, even if destroyed, will not be given to a heartless scoundrel. Of course, you can ask Chen Yuniang for them; perhaps she will be happy to buy them for you!"

Xiangyun yarn is known as "soft gold" because it takes a long time to make and has a complex process, making it very rare. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy.

Moreover, the fabric is soft and lightweight, making it cool and comfortable to wear, perfect for summer clothes.

At that time, her shop had just received a batch of goods, and the manager brought her a horse. Li Mingzhu saw this and shamelessly asked her for it.

Although Xiangyun yarn is rare and precious, it was nothing to her, so she casually gave it to Li Mingzhu.

But I never expected that Li Mingzhu would be such a shameless person.

He was wearing the clothes she gave him and still spouting nonsense in front of her.

It would be better to dress the dog in it than to give it to her.

Having said that, she didn't look at her again, flicked her sleeve, and turned to leave.

Li Mingzhu ripped the tattered cloth off her face. Seeing that she was about to leave, she couldn't swallow her anger. She shouted angrily, "Yun Shi, you stop right there... glug!" But she got up too quickly, lost her footing, and fell into the water again, swallowing a mouthful of pool water.
