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

Chapter 169 Rong Zhen: Where did you go last night?
"No, Master. Whether the road ahead is thorny or smooth is our own choice, and we will not regret it," the two said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei didn't say anything more, only saying, "Come in with me."

After entering the house, she handed the two bundles to the two men respectively.

"Here are a few changes of clothes that I prepared for you. In addition, I have exchanged the jewelry and silver that you brought from home for silver notes, as well as some loose silver. Please take a look."

The two opened the bundle as instructed and found that it contained a change of clothes, as well as banknotes and loose silver.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this money will be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"Thank you, Master." Their eyes instantly reddened.

"You've come this far, so be happy and don't cry," Yun Wei said gently. Then she took out an internal energy cultivation manual and handed it to the two of them. "When you're out and about, don't slack off on your martial arts training. I've already taught you how to cultivate internal energy before. This is a more advanced internal energy cultivation manual. Practice it well so you can better protect yourselves in the future."

During this time, the two of them practiced swordsmanship with her, and their swordsmanship has become very good. They can protect themselves without any problem. If they had internal energy to enhance their skills, they would be even better.

"Don't worry, Master, we will practice hard," the two assured him.

Yunwei patted the two of them on the shoulders. "I won't say much else, just one thing: when you're out and about, be careful and don't trust others easily. Protect yourself."

"Yes." The two nodded vigorously.

"I'll be heading back to the capital soon. You can rest at this horse farm for a few more days before setting off," Yunwei instructed.

"Okay." The two nodded.

After Xuanyuan Jing woke up, she said goodbye to the two of them and then returned to the capital with Yun Wei.

On the way back, Xuan Yuanjing was somewhat disheartened.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with them?" Yunwei asked.

Xuan Yuanjing nodded, "I really hate to leave them. I wish I could fake my death like them and leave this place with them."

“That won’t do,” Yunwei objected. “You are a princess of the Yue Kingdom. If you suddenly die in our Wei Kingdom, your Yue Kingdom might use this as an excuse to attack our Wei Kingdom.”

Xuan Yuanjing sighed, "That's true, then I'd better not die."

Yunwei glanced at her and said, "If you're going to die, you should go back to the Moon Kingdom to die."

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

After returning to the capital, Yunwei first sent her back to the post station before returning to the county princess's residence.

As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Rong Zhen sitting in a chair.

"Where did Ye go last night?" The man didn't look up, his gaze fixed on the book on his lap.

Yun Wei's lips twitched slightly.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this man was a husband questioning his wife.

She walked over with her hands behind her back. "The Regent is not my husband yet. Isn't he meddling too much?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen looked up from his book, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Even though we're not married yet, I am your fiancé, so it's only natural for me to ask about my fiancée's whereabouts. What do you think, Princess?"

Yunwei nodded. "That makes sense, but you can ask. Whether I tell you or not is my freedom."

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. "What you said makes sense. As long as they don't do anything to betray me, I can let it go."

"What did you mean by 'I'm sorry for'? In what way does the Regent mean?" Yun Wei narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly, pulled her hand, and made her sit down beside him. He then poured her a cup of tea.

Yunwei was indeed a little thirsty, so she drank a few sips.

After setting down her cup, she stared intently at the man. "Your Highness has not yet answered my question."

Seeing that she wouldn't let it go, Rong Zhen couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, laughing and scolding, "How dare you!"

Yunwei wasn't afraid of him at all. She pulled his hand down and said, "Did you say something wrong, so you're bluffing?"

Rong Zhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I misspoke." Then he stood up and said, "Now that you're back, I'll go back."

Yunwei looked at him in confusion, "Why are you leaving as soon as I get back? Are you angry?"

"No, I just had to wait for you. I haven't finished my official business yet," Rong Zhen said helplessly.

"So, you haven't been waiting since last night, have you?" Yun Wei asked incredulously. Rong Zhen coughed lightly, "I didn't wait that long. I'm leaving."

Watching the man's departing figure, Yunwei was somewhat puzzled.

Didn't she tell him yesterday what she was going to do?

He should have known she wouldn't be coming back last night, so why was he still waiting for her?
She couldn't figure it out, so she called Uncle Chen over to ask him.

"When did the Regent arrive?"

Chen Bo couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Master, you may not know this, but since the Regent came yesterday afternoon and found that you hadn't returned, he has come over no less than ten times."

Yun Wei: "..."

No wonder that man ran so fast; he must have felt embarrassed himself.
It seems he didn't hear what she said clearly outside the mansion yesterday.
She found it somewhat unbelievable.

Is the regent so slow-witted that he can't even understand what's being said?

"By the way, Master, a servant from Qingyi Garden came to report that someone from the Pingning Marquis's residence has arrived. They say it's the Pingning Marquis's birthday today and request that you return." At this moment, Uncle Chen brought up another matter.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then nodded. "I understand."

"Should we prepare a congratulatory gift?" Uncle Chen asked.

After pondering for a moment, Yunwei instructed, "Go to the storeroom and pick out a box of ginseng and a piece of calligraphy and painting."

"Yes." Uncle Chen accepted the order and left.

When Yunwei returned to the courtyard to change her clothes and came out, Uncle Chen had already prepared the congratulatory gift she had requested.

She sent Tian'er with a gift to the Yun family.

The residence of the Marquis of Pingning.

When Yun Wei arrived, the Yun family members were all talking in the hall.

"...My sister is so arrogant. She didn't even come back for Father's birthday."

Before Yun Wei even went inside, she heard Yun Yao's voice coming from inside the house.

Sweetie heard this and was very indignant.

What's wrong with this third young lady?

Fortunately, Miss came back. If she hadn't, wouldn't it have confirmed that she was arrogant and didn't even come back for the Marquis's birthday? If that got out, she would have been labeled as unfilial.

Inside the house, seeing that no one else responded to her, Yun Yao bit her lip and couldn't help but say, "Such a big thing as moving house, and you didn't even bother to inform us. Sister really doesn't care about our parents."

"Weiwei!" At this moment, Madam Qi saw Yunwei by the door and called out.

Yun Yao's expression stiffened slightly. She turned her head and saw Yun Wei standing outside the door.

Meeting her cold eyes, the fear from that day resurfaced in my mind.

Her face was pale, and she said awkwardly, "Sister...you're back? I thought you weren't coming back."

"If I hadn't come back, how would I have heard you speaking ill of me and spreading rumors in front of my parents?" Yun Wei stepped inside, a half-smile on her face.

Yun Yao felt the wounds on her face, which had long since healed, start to hurt again. She touched her face and said with a look of fear, "Sister, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean any harm. I... I'm just too sad..."

"Oh, you're upset, so you're saying bad things about me?" Yun Wei placed the birthday gift she brought on the table in front of Yun Yueshan. "This is a birthday gift that I had someone pick out for Father. I don't know if it suits Father's taste?"

Yun Yueshan's expression softened slightly. "It's good that you're back. There's no need to spend money."

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said calmly, "It's nothing, no trouble at all." After saying that, she glanced at Yun Yao.

Yun Yao's heart sank, and she immediately stood up and said, "Father, Mother, I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to my room first."

Yun Qi asked curiously, "Weren't you fine just now? Why are you feeling unwell as soon as Yun Wei came back?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi pinched his waist.

He was about to cry out in pain, but when he met Qi's eyes, he swallowed the words back.

"Since you're not feeling well, go back to your room and rest." Xu's tone was somewhat cold, unlike her usual warm manner.

"Yes." Yun Yao obediently replied, but her face darkened instantly when she stepped outside the door.
