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

Chapter 16 What Kind of Husband Is He?

Yunwei wasn't buying it.

Trying to gloss over the truth? She won't!
"Madam is right. Mingzhu is young and doesn't know any better. She must have heard these things from others, which is why she speaks so carelessly. I wonder who is gossiping in this courtyard. It's not enough for Madam to just scold Mingzhu, is it?" Yunwei said with a faint smile as she looked at Madam Li.

Seeing that Madam Li's face twitched, her feigned kindness almost crumbled.

She stared at Yun Wei with a gloomy gaze.

This bitch!

Li Yaoting's expression also darkened.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Yun, I never said I wanted to divorce you. Don't talk nonsense here. Also, as a daughter-in-law, how can you keep calling me 'Old Madam' and not even call me 'Mother'? You have no manners at all!"

"Li Yaoting, did I say you were gossiping?" Yun Wei asked instead of answering.

……

Li Yaoting was speechless.

This woman is really difficult to deal with!
He suppressed his anger and changed the subject, saying, "Didn't my mother-in-law arrive? Where is she?"

"I'm leaving," Yun Wei said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting felt disappointed; it seemed that Madam Xu had also returned empty-handed.

Indeed, if Xu were useful, Yun wouldn't still be in this attitude.

Seeing that Yun was unmoved by his words, he lost his patience and warned, "Yun, as a woman, how dare you speak to your husband like that? Be careful, or I'll punish you according to the family rules!"

"Family rules?"

"How ridiculous! Who is it that never returns after their wedding night, only to bring their mistress and son home three years later? If you dared to be upright and openly agree to a divorce and marry Li Yuniang, I would respect you as a man. But you are unwilling to give up your reputation and your achievements, and you still want to drag your wife along. You are both cowardly and shameless. How many people like you can be found in the entire Great Wei Dynasty? You are not ashamed of yourself, but I am ashamed for you."

"Yun family!" Having been repeatedly rebuked and humiliated, Li Yaoting took a step closer to her with a dark expression, releasing his full aura of pressure. "Don't push your luck. If you continue to act so unreasonably, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"Then why don't you give it a try?" Yun Wei looked at him defiantly, her head held high.

"Sharp-tongued!" Li Yaoting was furious and reached out to grab her shoulder, intending to teach her a lesson.

However, just as he was about to touch her, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his palm.

He was terrified and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

On the palm of my hand, there was a small, light red dot, as if I had been pricked by a needle.

He looked at Yunwei in surprise.

She stood with her hands behind her back, her expression indifferent, yet Li Yaoting felt a sense of apprehension.

Was it she who made the move just now?
But he didn't even see how she made her move.

"What did you do to me?" he gritted his teeth, his gaze fierce, trying to overpower her with his imposing manner and force her to submit.

"What could I possibly do to you, a grown man?" Yun Wei said with a half-smile. "Ask the old lady and the others if they saw what I did."

"Then what is this?" Li Yaoting held out his palm to her.

Yunwei glanced at him and said, "What's wrong? Lord Li, who has killed countless enemies, is scared by such a small wound? The Emperor just commended you in the imperial edict. It seems that Lord Li is not worthy of the title."

Li Yaoting's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yun Wei snorted coldly.

Seeing that her son hadn't gained the upper hand, Madam Li's eyes flashed with gloom, but her face wore a kind and loving smile. "Although quarrels between husband and wife can be a kind of fun, you two should restrain yourselves a bit, so as not to make a fool of yourselves in front of others."

Moreover, Yaoting receiving an imperial reward is a major event for our Li family. Tonight, we must have the kitchen prepare extra dishes to celebrate Yaoting's success. In addition, we need to host a banquet for guests in a few days to make it a grand affair and liven things up.” Looking at Old Madam Li's peacemaking demeanor, Yun Wei sneered inwardly.

That old hag, with just a few words, turned her sharp arguments with Li Yaoting into a display of marital bliss; it's truly disgusting.

"Madam, you are mistaken. Li Yaoting and I have no marital relationship. Didn't you see him trying to hit me? As for your Li family's affairs, don't come to me. I have already handed over the management of your Li family to the Shen family."

Having been humiliated in public, Madam Li's face darkened. This Yun family member truly doesn't know what's good for her!

She turned to look at Madam Shen beside her, her face full of displeasure. "She handed over the management of the household to you?"

Madam Shen immediately smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will do my best to manage our household well. As for the banquet, I have already made the arrangements."

Madam Li frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She looked down on the Shen family and never considered handing over the management of the household to her.

But considering that the mansion was now just an empty shell, he said nothing.

Once Yu Niang enters the mansion, she will have Shen Shi hand over the power of managing the household.

"Just give the order." She nodded.

Seeing that she was not displeased, Madam Shen was overjoyed. She glanced at Yun Wei and felt a pang of sympathy.

In recent years, Yun has been in charge of the Li family, and they seem to be living a very prosperous life. However, behind her back, Li Yaoting has been having another woman at the border and has even fathered an illegitimate child.

Now that he's back, he's determined to bring that mother and son inside.

No wonder she was angry and didn't even want to take charge of the household anymore.

In her opinion, Yun was also foolish.

Since the situation is beyond repair, we should firmly grasp the power to manage the household, so that we can have a better foothold in the Li family in the future.

However, since the other party was willing to hand it over, she was naturally happy to see it happen.

After all, she now holds the power of housekeeping.

Yunwei noticed the sympathy in the other person's eyes, but didn't take it to heart.

The Shen family thought they had gotten a great deal, but little did they know that trouble was yet to come.

She ignored the group and planned to return to the courtyard.

Just then, a maidservant ran over to Madam Shen and said, "Second Madam, the chef says he can't make the dishes you requested for the dinner banquet?"

"What do you mean by 'no'?" Shen asked, displeased.

"The cook said that the person who was originally in charge of purchasing has been reassigned to other tasks and is no longer responsible for purchasing," the maid replied.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen became somewhat angry. "Then we can have someone else buy it first. Do I have to tell you that?"

The maidservant hurried away.

But a little while later, she ran back.

"Madam, the person who went to buy groceries said they couldn't buy any vegetables."

"What do you mean?" Madam Shen asked, suppressing her anger.

Today is her first time managing the household, and it also coincides with Li Yaoting being awarded a title. If the banquet isn't handled well, her mother-in-law will have a lot to say.

During the book's release period, I hope everyone will vote to support it! Thank you!
