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

Chapter 174 This kind of thing has probably been done quite a few times.
Ah Zheng turned his head and saw a man in silver armor riding a black steed, urging the horse to come this way.

Upon seeing this person, Ah Zheng's expression turned cold.

The person who arrived was Li Yaoting.

He also recognized Ah Zheng.

He glanced at the carriage, frowned, and asked, "Is that Yunwei inside?"

"How dare you address the county princess by her name?" A-Zheng said coldly.

Li Yaoting sneered, "You dog of a servant, I am still your former master. It's one thing to not bow when we meet, but to speak so rudely. Is this how your master taught you?"

"Stop trying to flatter yourself. My master has always only had the county princess. Don't even think about getting involved with any Tom, Dick, or Harry." A-Zheng said with disdain.

"How dare you!" Li Yaoting suppressed his anger. "For the sake of your master, this general will not hold it against you."

Ah Zheng scoffed.

Li Yaoting ignored him and looked at the quiet, motionless carriage. He narrowed his eyes and raised his voice, saying, "Is this how Princess Rong'an teaches her servants?"

Sweetie, who was in the carriage, was furious when she heard this.

Who is this Li Yaoting? How dare he speak to Miss like that?
"How I, the county magistrate, instruct my servants is none of your concern, General." Yun Wei's voice was calm and composed, without any ripples.

Outside, when Li Yaoting heard her voice, his hand on his sword unconsciously tightened.

Since seeing her shine at the palace banquet, he had not had the chance to see her again.

I never expected to run into you on this street today...

For a moment, he stared blankly at the carriage with its doors tightly shut, somewhat lost in thought.

"Ah Zheng, let's go!" Yun Wei commanded.

"Yes," Ah Zheng replied. Seeing that Li Yaoting was still blocking the carriage, he immediately lost his patience. "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way!"

Li Yaoting snapped out of his daze, his face darkening. "Insolence!"

"You dare to speak disrespectfully to me, General, instead of kneeling in respect. What is your punishment?"

“It is you, General, who should kneel!” Qingfeng, who was standing on the other side of the carriage, stepped forward and said sarcastically, “Whether you are a Earl or a General, you are still below the County Princess. The County Princess was personally appointed by the Emperor. If you do not kneel before the County Princess, you are clearly showing contempt for the Emperor.”

Upon seeing him, Li Yaoting's expression changed slightly.

His mind was focused on the carriage, so he didn't notice him standing on the other side.

As the regent's trusted bodyguard, Qingfeng often accompanied his master in and out of the court, so he naturally recognized him.

Upon thinking of the Regent, Li Yaoting's expression became unnatural. "Why is Guard Cheng here too?"

"The General of the Central Army was personally appointed by the Emperor. Is that all the discernment you have?" Qingfeng pointed to the armored guards behind him. "Even if you didn't see me, you should recognize them, right?"

Li Yaoting naturally recognized them, but he didn't see the Regent's carriage or Rong Zhen's figure. He thought it was just some ordinary armored guards.

Unexpectedly, Qingfeng was here too.

He was somewhat annoyed. In principle, Qingfeng was just a guard, but people said that even a seventh-rank official had to be polite to the prime minister. As the regent's personal guard, many ministers in the court had to treat Qingfeng with great courtesy.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he dared not show it.

"I am in charge of the security of the imperial city. I just received news that someone was causing trouble here, so I came to investigate. Since you have already arrested the person, I will take him away for interrogation."

“These people were captured by us, so there’s no need for you, General, to overstep your bounds,” Qingfeng said bluntly.

Li Yaoting's face stiffened. "Although you arrested the people, the Imperial Guard is responsible for the security of the capital. These people caused trouble in the capital and their origins are unknown. They should be handed over to our Imperial Guard for investigation. It seems that it is Guard Cheng who is overstepping his bounds."

“It is true that the Golden Guard is responsible for the security of the Imperial City, but this is Zhuque Street. These people of unknown origin suddenly appeared here, and they may be trying to harm our Regent. We, the Ironclad Guard, have an inescapable duty to do so, so there is no need for the Lieutenant General to worry about it.” Qingfeng stood firm.

Li Yaoting choked.

Although we haven't reached Suzaku Street yet, we're nearby. If Qingfeng insists on saying that, he can't refute it.

After all, the Regent is someone even the Emperor fears. Does he really want to openly oppose the Regent's Palace?

He hesitated.

Never mind, now is not the time.

Let them run rampant for a while longer. When the time is right, what good will it do for the regent to control everything again? He will still have to fall.

Thinking of this, he sneered, waved his hand to order the Imperial Guards behind him to step back, and then rode his horse to the side.

Seeing his sudden show of weakness, Qingfeng did not feel proud of it.

Li Yaoting is an arrogant and conceited man. Especially since he was appointed as a member of the Imperial Guard by the emperor, he is even more disdainful of others. His sudden concession is not because he is intimidated by his master's authority, but because he is probably plotting something.

Qingfeng glanced at him warily, said nothing more, and led his men past the group of Imperial Guards in a grand procession.

Li Yaoting sat on his horse, looking at the carriage surrounded by people, his face gloomy.

The Yun family had quite the airs; they never showed their faces once throughout the entire process.

Is she acting this way because she's relying on the Regent?
Did she know that the Emperor had already decided to get rid of the Regent?
When the regent falls from power, how will she cope?

Li Yaoting thought coldly that even if she came to beg him, he would not change his mind and forgive her!

Inside the carriage, Tian'er said, "That Li Yaoting is really shameless. He dares to put on airs in front of Miss. What a piece of trash!"

Yun Wei said, "Why bother with his dog-like snarling?"

Neither of them deliberately lowered their voices, so the sound was clearly audible as the carriage passed by Li Yaoting.

Instantly, Li Yaoting's face turned ashen and ugly.

Yun, Shi!

After the group returned to Zhuque Street, Yunwei went directly back to the county princess's mansion.

As for those martial arts figures, Qingfeng took them away for interrogation.

As soon as Yunwei stepped into the courtyard, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the place separated from the Regent's Palace by only one wall.

As soon as she looked over, the wall collapsed with a "crash," creating a gap.

"What happened?" Tian'er was startled.

Yunwei was also confused.

Just then, a tall and slender figure walked out from the collapsed area.

"The Regent?" Tian'er was dumbfounded when she saw the person who came.

Yunwei stared incredulously at the man walking towards them. "What are you doing?"

The person who arrived was Rong Zhen.

Upon seeing Yun Wei, he paused for a moment. "You're back?"

Yunwei said irritably, "If I hadn't happened to come back, I wouldn't have witnessed the Prince's magnificent feat of tearing down my courtyard wall."

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then added, "Not all of them were demolished."

"You want to tear it all down?" Yun Wei raised her voice.

Rong Zhen wanted to say that he really wanted to demolish it, but saying that would only make her angrier.

"Of course not, I just want to install a door here, there's no need to tear down so much."

"An gate?" Yunwei looked at him suspiciously. "Why would you want to install a gate in this place?"

Rong Zhen coughed lightly, "It's more convenient to see you here at Andaomen."

Yun Wei: "..."

Sweetie covered her mouth and chuckled, then quickly led her people away.

Coming to her senses, Yun Wei frowned. "There's a door ahead, why go through all this trouble?"

“It’s a long way to get in through the front door, and besides, your courtyard is right next to my study,” Rong Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei couldn't help but look in the direction of the gap.

She had been to his study, and now that she thought about it, wasn't his study in that direction?
She looked at him suspiciously. She had reason to suspect that the man had planned this whole thing all along when he gave her this mansion.

With her arms crossed, she said sarcastically, "Your Highness suddenly demolished my courtyard wall today. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a robber. You're so skilled at it; you must have done this kind of thing quite a few times before, right?"
