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

Chapter 142 How could this man look at things so carelessly?

Qingxueyuan.

Yunwei was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

She was lying on the soft couch, holding the "Complete Guide to Winning Back a Wife" that Rong Zhen had left behind, reading it with great interest.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a jarring sound of cups and plates hitting the ground rang out.

Yunwei turned her head and saw Tian'er standing stiffly by the door, with broken cups and plates on the ground.

Just as she was about to ask if she was injured, a tall man strode in from outside.

Yunwei's expression darkened.

This is the inner courtyard, and outside men are not allowed to enter or leave on ordinary days. Even if Uncle Chen and A-Zheng want to give a reply, they must get her permission to come in, but they can only stand outside the door to give their reply.

She thought it was some ignorant scoundrel who had broken into her courtyard. She raised her hand to pull out the hairpin from her hair, intending to shoot this audacious and arrogant man to death. But the moment she saw the man's face clearly, she quickly stopped her actions.

She suddenly sat up on the couch, staring at the man in astonishment. "You... how did you get in here?"

Rong Zhen has always stayed in the front courtyard when he comes to Qingyi Garden. This is the first time he has come directly to the inner courtyard like this.

Even though the two are now engaged, shouldn't he get her permission before entering the inner courtyard?
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.

Rong Zhen isn't such a reckless and rude person.

No wonder Tian'er knocked over the cups and plates in her hands; she was frightened.

Thinking it over, she turned to Tian'er by the door and said, "Tian'er, you can go down now."

Tian'er was indeed startled when Rong Zhen suddenly barged into the courtyard.

Hearing this, she nodded, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and then left.

Rong Zhen naturally saw Yun Wei's gesture as if she wanted to shoot him.

But that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was that Yun Wei was perfectly fine, with her face completely unharmed, which was entirely different from what Qing Feng had told him.

He was surprised, but relieved.

I'm glad she's alright.

After his tense heart relaxed, he suddenly felt a little tired.

He walked towards Yun Wei, "There are rumors outside..." His voice trailed off, his gaze lingering on the woman's thinly clad body for a moment before his eyes darkened.

Perhaps because she was lying in the room, she was only wearing a thin nightgown.

The thin fabric of the garment vaguely revealed the outline of a red undergarment underneath.

The regent suddenly felt a heat in his nose.

Realizing what was about to happen, he quickly tilted his head back and discreetly covered his nose with a handkerchief.

When Yunwei realized his gaze had fallen on her, she quickly pulled over a thin blanket and wrapped it tightly around herself.

A wave of panic washed over her, mixed with a touch of annoyance.

How could this man look around like that?
If it were anyone else, she would definitely gouge out their eyes.

She was so preoccupied with one thing that she forgot about the books she had casually tossed onto the tatami mat.

Rong Zhen was already apologetic for his rudeness and was about to find an excuse to leave when he noticed the books she had placed beside the couch.

The four large characters on the book cover, "The Complete Guide to Winning Back Your Wife," are exceptionally eye-catching.

He recognized it at a glance; it was the storybook Sang Qing had found for him.

He brought it with him when he last visited Qingyi Garden.

He even took it out and looked through it while staying at the guesthouse that night.

But he was in a rush to attend court the next day and forgot about the book. In addition, he had been out of the capital on business for the past two days, and if he hadn't suddenly seen the book now, he would have completely forgotten about it.

But at this moment, the book was in Yunwei's hands.

When he came in, he clearly saw her lying there reading a book. It must have been this "Complete Guide to Winning Back a Wife."

The Regent's face suddenly flushed a deep, burning red.

He realized that he couldn't see Yun Wei right now, or his dignity would be completely destroyed.

"What are the rumors going on outside?" Yun Wei asked, breaking the silence after wrapping herself up.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly and lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze. "It's nothing. Since you're alright, I'll head back now."

Yun Wei frowned, looking at him scrutinizingly.

He's obviously busy.

Moreover, the way he rushed in so anxiously just now suggests that nothing could have happened.

But he only stayed for a short while before leaving?

Thinking about it, she narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Rong Zhen forced himself to remain calm and said, "Just now at the city gate, I heard people talking about how you were attacked by a crazy woman yesterday and your face was disfigured. I was worried about you, so I rushed here to find you. In my haste, I broke into your backyard."

This can be seen as an explanation for his rude behavior.

Yunwei was stunned. "They said my face was disfigured? Which gossipy woman spread this rumor?"

Rong Zhen was at a loss for words, wondering how the common people could spread such rumors.

Yunwei is perfectly fine.

However, rumors don't come from nowhere; there's always a reason behind them.

Although Yunwei is alright, it doesn't mean that nothing happened.

Thinking of this, he stopped in his hurry to leave and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any trouble yesterday?"

"It's nothing much trouble." Yun Wei didn't want to say more, but seeing the man looking at her seriously, she paused and had no choice but to recount what had happened yesterday.

As for the fact that Yun Yao was later retaliated against in kind, resulting in her face being slashed, she did not hide it.

But after she finished speaking, she quietly watched Rong Zhen's reaction.

If he doesn't agree with her, then she has nothing to say, but it also proves that the two are not suitable for each other.

She is a person who always holds grudges and will never wrong others, even if it means wronging herself.

Even though her adoptive parents treated her well, she couldn't possibly repay kindness with ingratitude for Yun Yao's treatment of her.

She only scratched her face, and didn't kill her outright; that was the limit of her tolerance. She couldn't pretend nothing happened; she wasn't that magnanimous.

"Although she didn't hurt you, she harbored such malicious intentions towards you. To merely slash her face is far too lenient on her. If you can't bring yourself to do it, leave her to me, and I will get rid of her for you."

The man's angry voice rang out.

Yunwei was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

He didn't disagree with her approach; on the contrary, he felt that doing so was too lenient on Yun Yao.
"You...don't you think I'm vicious?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about what wickedness is? What kind of wickedness is this?" Rong Zhen was both angry and amused. "If it were me, I would definitely kill her to vent my anger. Even if I didn't kill her, I would cut off her hands and feet."

Yun Wei felt ashamed. After hearing this, her viciousness paled in comparison to his.

Just as she was thinking this, a shadow suddenly fell over her head, and then she saw Rong Zhen sit down beside her and take her hand. "I am very pleased that my fiancée is not the kind of weak woman who can only be slaughtered. You know how to fight back, although you are not ruthless enough, but I can rest assured."

Yun Wei blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly, looking at him in surprise.

She found his words quite novel.

Generally speaking, men don't seem to like overly assertive women. They prefer gentle and weak women because they believe that gentle women need their protection, which gives them a sense of accomplishment and greatly satisfies their male ego.

Why is it the opposite when it comes to Rong Zhen?

Does he not like women who are a little more delicate?
Rong Zhen was much taller than her. When she looked up at him like this, her slender neck curved into a beautiful arc, and her rosy lips were also half-open.

Rong Zhen's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.

Thank you all for your continued support! I'll be adding extra chapters starting today!
