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

Chapter 167 The Tower Near the Water
Huang and Liang kept her words firmly in mind.

Hearing the three's plan, Xuan Yuanjing excitedly said, "I'll play the villain."

Yunwei glanced at her and decisively refused, "No, if you go, you'll definitely be exposed."

Xuanyuan paused for a moment, then pleaded, "I will be very careful and will definitely not give anything away. Please let me go."

“No.” Yun Wei still refused. “Neither of us can show up then. I will arrange for someone else to do it.”

"Alright then." Xuan Yuanjing couldn't persuade her, so she didn't insist anymore. Looking at Huang Liang and the other two, she said reluctantly, "After today's farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again."

"When we dig them out, we'll still be able to see them," Yunwei reminded her.

Xuan Yuanjing's eyes lit up. "Then it's a deal. When you dig them out of the ground, you must call me."

Seeing her eager and ready expression, Huang and Liang's tension lessened considerably, and they began to look forward to tomorrow's plan.

They only need to endure for a few days, and they will be free.

The next day.

The news that the daughters of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War had drowned after being attacked by thugs while going out to offer incense spread throughout the capital.

The emperor was furious and sent troops to capture the villains.

But the criminals seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.

When the news spread, Yunwei was in the county princess's mansion.

Uncle Chen and Tian'er have finished setting up the place, and she can move in today.

After inspecting it, Yunwei was very satisfied.

"Master, shall we hold a housewarming banquet?" Uncle Chen asked.

"No need," Yun Wei shook her head.

She wasn't the type to join in the fun.

In addition, she moved here to avoid trouble, and having too many people gossip would go against her original intention.

"Should we inform the Yun family?" Uncle Chen asked again.

"No need," Yunwei refused.

Although things have been relatively peaceful with the Yun family recently, she doesn't want to get too close to them, lest they place any hope in her.

At this moment, Ah Zheng walked in from the back door. "Master, everything has been taken care of."

Yun Wei nodded, "I understand."

She entrusted the matter of Huang and Liang to A-Zheng.

Ah Zheng had been with her for a long time, and she always trusted him to get things done.

……

Rong Zhen returned several days later.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw that the county magistrate's mansion next door was wide open, and he could hear voices coming from inside.

He thought it must be Yunwei who had moved in, and was about to walk over, but then he remembered that he was covered in dust from his journey, so he changed his mind.

He made a special trip back to the palace to wash up and change into a clean set of robes before going next door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Cui Shao and Rong Xue.

The three of them met eyes and were all stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes.

"It was the county magistrate who invited us to this feast," Cui Shao replied.

"She invited you to dinner?" Rong Zhen frowned.

“Yes, my aunt officially moved into the county princess’s residence today and specially invited us here for a feast to celebrate,” Rong Xue said. “What, my uncle doesn’t know about this?”

Rong Zhen: "..."

"Could it be that the county magistrate didn't invite you?" Cui Shao guessed, his tone revealing an undisguised schadenfreude.

Rong Zhen pursed her lips and gave him a cold glance. "I haven't been in the capital these past few days, so why did she invite me?"

“That makes sense, since you’re not in the capital.” Cui Shao nodded.

But Rongzhen did not feel comfortable.

Even though he wasn't in the capital, Yunwei could still inform Sang Qing and the others.

However, Sang Qing was clearly unaware that she would be hosting a banquet at the manor today; otherwise, he would have mentioned it to her when he returned to the manor to wash up.

The Regent felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought that he was ranked behind Cui Shao and Rong Xue.

"Oh, you're back?" Just then, Yun Wei came out of the hall and saw Rong Zhen with a surprised look on her face.

Rong Zhen looked at her with a deep gaze, "It's a good thing you're back, otherwise we wouldn't have had this drink." "How could that be? I have plenty of good wine stored in my cellar, you can drink it whenever you want." Yun Wei didn't notice the change in his tone and said nonchalantly.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, "I can drink it whenever I want?"

"Of course, our two families live so close together, and besides, I don't drink. Most of those drinks were prepared for you," Yun Wei said casually.

Rong Zhen automatically assumed that she considered him one of her own, and the gloom that had been hanging over his handsome face instantly vanished. "I understand."

Yunwei sensed something was off about him, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, considering that Cui Shao and Rong Xue were nearby, she didn't say anything more.

Rong Zhen looked at Cui Shao and Rong Xue and said, "In a little while, you can drink whatever you want. I can't drink that much by myself anyway."

Cui Shao: "..."

Rong Xue: "..."

Why did they think he was showing off? And acting like he owned the place?

"Drinking is bad for your health. Drinking too much is not a good thing." Cui Shao couldn't stand his attitude and deliberately poured cold water on him.

"Then don't drink it for a while," Rong Zhen said slowly, brushing off his sleeves.

Cui Shao choked, cleared his throat and said, "Having a few drinks is no problem."

Rong Zhen scoffed coldly, his gaze falling on Yun Wei.

He hadn't seen her for several days and had a lot to say to her, but Cui Shao and Rong Xue were in the way.

Yunwei didn't plan to hold a housewarming party, but thinking that it wouldn't be good for the first day of moving in to be quiet and lonely, she invited Aman and his wife, Xuanyuan Jing, and Rong Xue to have a meal together to liven things up.

Now Rong Zhen has joined the group.

After the meal began, the group sat around a table, eating and drinking, creating a lively atmosphere.

Unfortunately, Yunwei and Aman both had very low alcohol tolerance, so they could only watch the others drink during the meal.

The meal lasted until the moon was high in the sky before it ended.

Yunwei and Rongzhen escorted the group to the door.

However, after Cui Shao and his wife, as well as Xuan Yuanjing, left one after another, Rong Xue showed no intention of leaving.

"Aren't you going back?" Rong Zhen frowned as she looked at him.

"It's too late. I won't go back tonight. I'll stay at the Imperial Uncle's residence for the night," Rong Xue said with a yawn, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Rong Zhen: "..."

Yunwei said, "Since Xiaoxue is sleepy, you should take him back first."

“He’s not a child anymore. If he’s sleepy, he’ll go back to sleep on his own.” Rong Zhen frowned.

“That’s right, you don’t need to worry about me, just do what you need to do.” Rong Xue looked at the two of them with a smile, her gaze meaningful.

Rong Zhen found him annoying and had wanted to get rid of him for a long time. Upon hearing this, she pushed him to Qingfeng and said, "Take him back quickly."

"Royal Uncle, you're in a great position, you should make the most of it." Before entering the Prince Regent's residence, Rong Xue quickly said this, then refused Qingfeng's offer to help her and hurried away.

As soon as he left, the area in front of the county magistrate's mansion became much quieter.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly and looked at Yun Wei, "He's talking nonsense, don't overthink it."

"Am I the one overthinking things? I think it's the Regent who's thinking too much," Yun Wei said with a half-smile.

Rong Zhen: "..."

He looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I'm very happy today."

Yunwei felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and turned her head away. "What are you so happy about?"

“I’m so glad you moved here,” Rong Zhen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a smile. "It's getting late, Regent, you should go back and rest." After saying that, she was about to run away, but the man grabbed her wrist in time.

"Is there anything else?" Yun Wei blinked.

"Hmm." Rong Zhen's gaze fell on her exquisite little face.

"What is it?" Yunwei asked quickly.

"Let's go inside and talk." Rong Zhen paused, released her, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead into the county princess's mansion.

Seeing the man's practiced manner, Yun Wei paused for a moment, then followed him.

In the front hall, servants served tea and snacks again.

Seeing that Rong Zhen had finished his cup of tea without saying anything, Yun Wei couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just say you had something to tell me?"

Rong Zhen glanced at her before putting down his cup and said solemnly, "Because of the news that Xuan Yuan Jin released earlier, people all over the world are now asking about your whereabouts."

Xuanyuan Jin is the name of the former king of the Yue Kingdom.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said, "I don't have any treasures or secret techniques for immortality. It was just a trick by Xuan Yuan Jin to force me to show myself."
