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

Chapter 187 Rong Zhen in Yun Wei's Room
"Luckily you didn't kill someone impulsively, otherwise I'd be fine, but you would be in trouble." Yun Wei said, both amused and exasperated.

"It's fortunate that Madam Pei stopped her, otherwise this girl would have really dared to rush up and kill someone to protect you," Aman said, shaking her head.

Yun Wei looked at Xuan Yuanjing in surprise, "You were with Madam Pei today?"

“Yes, she likes to listen to operas, so I accompanied her to the theater. But I didn’t expect that those people wouldn’t watch the opera and would keep talking about you. I was so angry that I drew my knife to confront them, but Madam Pei stopped me and told me not to use violence. For her sake, I gave up,” Xuan Yuanjing said, her tone still somewhat regretful.

Yunwei listened with a helpless expression and advised, "Don't be so impulsive next time. Let those gossipy people talk if they want to, you don't need to pay attention to them."

"Fine, I'll listen to you." Xuan Yuanjing pouted.

Seeing this, Yunwei deliberately teased, "You're quite quick; you've even joined Madam Pei in watching the show."

Speaking of this, Xuan Yuanjing immediately said with some pride, "That Pei Qing is still far away in Xizhou Kingdom. Even if I wanted to pursue him, there was nothing I could do. But I couldn't just wait around, so I thought I'd start with his mother. I originally thought that Madam Pei would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect her to be such a kind person."

"It seems your plan is already half successful. Just now, Madam Pei personally escorted you here," Aman joked.

"Old Madam Pei personally escorted her here?" Yun Wei raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Aman nodded. "When I arrived, Old Madam Pei and Xuanyuan Jing were also there. Old Madam Pei brought her here. When I saw Xuanyuan Jing get out of the Pei family's carriage, Old Madam Pei was still holding her hand, looking very reluctant to part with her. Knowing that I was her friend, Old Madam Pei asked me to persuade her not to be impulsive next time. That's how I found out that this girl had a conflict with someone because of you at the theater."

However, given how much Madam Pei cares for her, I reckon she probably considers her her future daughter-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei praised, "Xuanyuan Jing, you're quite capable. You won over Old Madam Pei so quickly."

Xuan Yuanjing was about to show off, but then she frowned as she thought of something. "I don't know if it's because I'm capable, or if Old Madam Pei just accepts any girl who wants to marry that scoundrel Pei Qing."
I even wondered if Pei Qing had some hidden illness. So, seeing how eager I was to marry her son, Old Madam Pei was determined to hold onto me tightly.

"It shouldn't be that bad," Yunwei said, amused.

Aman laughed and said, "Then you don't need to worry about that. I met Pei Qing before you all. Pei Qing and my husband grew up together. I know Pei Qing's character well. He's just a bit glib, but he's a good man who keeps himself clean."

“Uh, I don’t doubt his character. I mean his hidden illness, you know? You said he’s virtuous and clean-living, is it possible that he has some kind of secret disease?” Xuan Yuanjing said.

She made it so obvious, how could Yunwei and Aman not understand?

“We don’t know about that,” Aman said. “But I think if Pei Qing has a hidden illness, he wouldn’t deliberately hide it. When he comes back, if you really want to marry him, you can ask him directly.”

"Just ask him?" Xuan Yuanjing was stunned.

“Your Yue Kingdom is known for its open-mindedness, so ask around, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it, right?” Aman said with a smile.

"Don't overthink it. We don't even know if Pei Qing will be interested in you," Yun Wei said, pouring cold water on Xuan Yuanjing's hopes.

Xuan Yuanjing immediately retorted, hands on her hips, "I'm so beautiful, and my martial arts are so good, how could he not like me?"

“Sometimes, the fate between people is very mysterious. Just because someone doesn’t like you doesn’t mean they are a bad person. Besides, before Pei Qing went on his mission to Xizhou, you didn’t tell him what if he fell in love with the princess of Xizhou during his trip and wanted to become her husband?” Aman said.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing suddenly became anxious. "What should we do? Could he really have brought back a princess from Xizhou? No, I have to go to Xizhou."

Yunwei disagreed, saying, "For this uncertain marriage, you want to travel all the way to Xizhou? Is it really necessary to be so crazy? You're not allowed to go!" Xuanyuan Jing's head drooped in frustration.

“There are plenty of good men in the world, not just Pei Qing. If it’s your destiny, you can’t escape it. If it’s not yours, no matter how much you give, it won’t be yours. Take it easy,” Yun Wei said.

“I agree with that,” Aman nodded.

Xuan Yuanjing sighed, "Alright, then I'll take a look at a few more during this time, so that I won't become a laughing stock if Pei Qingzhen brings back a princess from Xizhou."

Understanding her implication, Yunwei warned, "Don't do anything reckless. If you try to watch multiple things at the same time, you might not be able to handle it."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Xuan Yuanjing said confidently.

Aman chuckled and changed the subject, "What happened? Your sister, how could she just die like that? And they're framing you for it, who did it?"

Speaking of this, Xuan Yuanjing looked at Yun Wei with a serious expression, "Yes, what happened? Who exactly is behind this and trying to harm you?"

Yun Wei shook her head, "I don't know either. There are no clues at all. All I know is that the thug who kidnapped Yun Yao was a woman who looked like me and was quite skilled in martial arts."

“Strange, in the whole capital, apart from Xu’s Yan Yan and you, I’ve never heard of any other girl who knows martial arts?” Aman was very surprised.

Yun Wei said, "That woman is probably not one of those noble ladies from aristocratic families. She might be an assassin hired by someone who cooperates with Yun Yao, or she might be a member of the martial arts world."

"Who on earth have you offended that they would treat you like this?" Aman was very surprised.

"The people I've offended?" Yun Wei paused.

In this capital city, she seems to have offended quite a few people now.

Empress Dowager Feng, Li Yaoting, Chen Yuniang, the Duke of Chen's Mansion, Feng Yin...

On the surface, these are the people she can think of.

In addition, there are those martial arts practitioners who want to obtain so-called treasures and the secret to immortality from her.

Everyone is a suspect, but there is no evidence.

Aman and Xuanyuan Jing sat for a while longer before saying goodbye and leaving.

Yunwei returned to the courtyard, full of doubts.

"You finally decided to come back?"

As soon as Yunwei stepped into the house, she heard the man's deep and pleasant voice slowly rise.

She paused for a moment, then looked up and saw Rong Zhen sitting in the room, holding a file in his hand and several others on his lap, clearly having just been handling official business.

Seeing this, she looked at him strangely, "Your Highness, are you using my room as your study?"
