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

Chapter 137 Want to ruin Yunwei's face

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Shen's eyes as she pondered how much silver she could get for these items and which pharmacy would be the best place to sell them.
"You can't sell it or give it away unless you eat it yourself." Yunwei saw through her thoughts at a glance and poured cold water on her idea.

Shen looked dejected and suddenly realized that these tonics were of no use.

"Yanting studies hard. Take these back and give him some to help him recover. You should eat more too," Yunwei reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen immediately glanced at Li Yanting. Seeing his pale and weak complexion and thin figure, she doubted whether he could hold on until next year's imperial examination.

She nodded in agreement, "I understand."

Li Yanting frowned, "Sister Yun, there's no need to go to such lengths."

"It's no expense. Anyway, these are delivered every two days, and I can't finish them all myself," Yunwei said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen couldn't help but tease, "It seems the Regent really cares about you."

Yunwei was taken aback. Seeing that she had misunderstood, she opened her mouth as if to explain, but in the end she gave up.

Rong Zhen also gave her many good things, including nourishing foods, which she kept. The gifts he gave to the Shen family were bestowed by the Empress Dowager.

Although the Empress Dowager had ill intentions, she had checked the tonics that had been bestowed upon her on both occasions and found that there were no problems with them, and that they were of the highest quality.

If she wasn't mistaken, the Empress Dowager would definitely send someone to deliver things to her tomorrow.

She already had plenty of tonics in her storeroom, and since the Shen couple had come to visit today, it would be perfect to take some and give them to them.

“We’ve already troubled you too much today, so we’ll take our leave now.” At this moment, Li Yanting stood up and said.

Yunwei had other things to do, so she didn't keep them. "Next time you have time, I'll invite you over for a meal again."

“Okay.” Shen agreed before Li Yanting did.

Even the snacks here at Yunwei's place are so delicious; the main courses must be even more abundant.

Li Yanting glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"You see them out." Yun Wei stood up and walked towards the door first.

As soon as the three of them reached the gate of the mansion, they heard a commotion.

"Yun Wei, come out here!"

Yun Wei recognized the voice and stepped out the door, where she found Yun Yao.

Upon seeing her emerge, Yun Yao's eyes flashed with resentment, and she charged forward menacingly.

"You bitch!"

Li Yanting's expression changed drastically. He rushed forward, stood in front of Yun Wei, and pushed Yun Yao aside.

Yun Yao fell to the ground, her face contorted with rage.

She was so close, so very close, to ruining Yunwei's face.

She felt a surge of resentment.

"Blood, my husband, you are bleeding."

Just then, Shen suddenly screamed in panic.

Yunwei's heart sank. She walked up to Li Yanting and saw that his robe was torn on his shoulder, and bright red blood was flowing out, staining the fabric red.

Seeing this, Yun Wei looked sharply at Yun Yao, "What did you do?"

Yun Yao stood up, her hand clenching tightly inside her sleeve. She was determined to destroy that bitch Yun Wei today.

When confronted with Yunwei's questioning, she nonchalantly replied, "What can I do?"

Yunwei stared at her for a while, then suddenly sneered, rushed forward, and swiftly twisted her right hand.

"Snapped!"

A sharp dagger fell from her sleeve and landed on the ground. "A knife! She actually hid a knife in her sleeve!" Madam Shen gasped, looking at Li Yanting with a wave of fear washing over her.

If he hadn't been much taller than Yun Yao, the dagger would have cut her face instead of her shoulder.

She came for Yun Wei, so her goal was to ruin Yun Wei's face.

"How vicious!" Shen was both shocked and frightened.

Naturally, what she could think of, Yunwei and Li Yanting also thought of.

The latter felt fortunate that she had stood in front of Yun Wei, while the former felt a chill in her heart.

Her hand then gripped Yun Yao's neck, and she said coldly, "You want to ruin my face? Why?"

"Why? Naturally, it's because I don't like the look of you." Seeing that her purpose had been exposed, Yun Yao simply stopped pretending and said with a resentful look, "I want to ruin your face so that you can never get the Regent's favor again. Why should any man be willing to marry you after you get divorced? Do you think the Regent will immediately break off the engagement if your face is ruined?"

At this point, she glared fiercely at Li Yanting.

It's all this person's fault for being so meddlesome. If he hadn't stood in front of Yunwei, he would have already scratched Yunwei's face.

After listening to her words, Yunwei finally understood the reason and looked at her with incomprehension, "So, after being divorced by the Lou family, you vented your anger and hatred on me?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen looked at Yun Yao in disbelief.

Is this person sick?

However, from her words, it's clear that she's jealous of Yun Wei. This is because she's unhappy with her own life and can't stand seeing Yun Wei doing well.

"Pah, you're sick!" Madam Shen spat at her fiercely.

Yun Yao suddenly broke down and cried, "I did nothing wrong, why did they divorce me? It was Li Mingzhu who provoked me first. She miscarried, what does that have to do with me? Besides, if you had stepped in, the Lou family wouldn't have dared to divorce me. Why wouldn't you stand up for me?"

Yun Wei found it laughable. "Why should I stand up for someone like you? Besides, do you think I'm easy to bully?" she said coldly, hooking her toe and sending the dagger that had fallen to the ground flying into her hand.

The cold glint of the dagger struck her face, causing Yun Yao's pupils to shrink. Seeing the murderous intent on Yun Wei's face, her crying stopped abruptly, and she began to struggle frantically, "Let me go!"

Unfortunately, Yun Wei was holding her by the neck, and the more she struggled, the more suffocated she felt.

"I'm the kind of person who always seeks revenge and an eye for an eye. You've been unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust to you! Yun Yao, have you ever heard of 'an eye for an eye'?" Yun Wei said, slapping Yun Yao's face with a dagger.

"You...you can't hurt me, or my parents won't forgive you..." The cold dagger against her skin sent chills down Yun Yao's spine. She spoke with a fierce but weak voice, then, as if remembering something, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Princess Rong'an has killed someone—"

This street is mostly lined with official residences. Although it is usually very quiet, there are still quite a few pedestrians passing by.

At this moment, Yun Yao shouted at the top of her lungs, which immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Seeing people gathered outside Qingyi Garden, Yun Yao suddenly felt more confident.

Yunwei dared not hurt her in front of everyone, otherwise she would be the subject of gossip and might even be impeached by the censor.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao's face flashed with smugness. Just as she was about to say something more, she heard Shen Shi shout at the top of her lungs, "Everyone passing by, come and take a look!"

Yun Yao was taken aback.

Isn't the Shen family in cahoots with Yun Wei? Why are they helping her?

Could it be that the Shen family actually dislikes Yun Wei and therefore wishes to ruin her reputation?

Yun Yao was still in a daze when she saw Madam Shen point at her and shout, "It's this madwoman who tried to assassinate Princess Rong'an with a dagger. If my husband hadn't reacted quickly and pushed the princess away, the knife would have been stuck in her body. Even so, my husband was also stabbed by her, and his clothes are covered in blood."

Finally, the county magistrate managed to stop the madwoman, but she turned around and accused him, saying, "You all be the judge, shouldn't this kind of person be handed over to the authorities?"

After hearing the whole story, the passersby began to condemn Yun Yao.

"How can you be so vicious? You stabbed someone and then dared to turn around and blame them."

"That's so shameless!"

"This person is too dangerous. I think we should take her to the authorities right away."

"Yes, hurry up and report it to the authorities!"
