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

Chapter 190 He just wanted to vent his anger.
Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Feng happily picked up the scissors and began pruning the flower branches.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Rong Ling couldn't help but ask, "Does Mother have some good news?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Feng glanced at her with a smile, but said, "What happy event could there be?"

Rong Ling wisely refrained from asking any further questions, but she felt puzzled as to why her mother was being so kind and gentle to her today.
Thinking of something, she pretended to be innocent and said, "Mother, have you heard? That Princess Rong'an killed two people, one of whom was her own sister. Tell me, how could she be so vicious?"

Speaking of this matter, Empress Dowager Feng's smile became even more genuine, but she sighed and said, "I have also heard about it, but there must be some misunderstanding, right? Otherwise, how could Princess Rong'an dare to do such a heinous thing?"

“But there are rumors outside that some people have blocked Zhuque Street, demanding that the government bring Princess Rong’an to justice. If it wasn’t Princess Rong’an who killed her, why does everyone say that she did it?” Rong Ling saw that her mother was indeed very interested in this topic, so she said a few more words.

In fact, she had only met Princess Rong'an once and could not say whether she liked or disliked her. However, she knew that her mother disliked her, so as long as she spoke ill of Princess Rong'an, she would definitely win her mother's favor.

"It's mostly just hearsay. Those people are probably being used as pawns," Empress Dowager Feng said, but in her heart she hoped that the people would make a big fuss. As long as the fuss got bigger, the censors would impeach him, and Rong Zhen might be forced to break off the engagement and sever ties with Yun Wei under pressure.

Rong Ling said, "But I've heard a saying: 'Where there's smoke, there's fire.' That Princess Rong'an is definitely not a good person. Perhaps she's the one who killed the person."

Empress Dowager Feng put down the scissors and poked her forehead with her finger, "You're such a little devil."

Rong Ling was overjoyed and snuggled close to her affectionately.

After sending Rong Ling away, Empress Dowager Feng thought for a moment and then sent someone to summon Feng Huai to the palace.

"I wonder what business Aunt has with me?" Feng Huai asked after bowing.

Empress Dowager Feng was quite pleased with her nephew.

Of all the members of the Feng family, the one she favored most was this nephew in front of her.

In terms of both appearance and ability, she is one of the best among the younger generation of the Feng family.

Therefore, no matter how much trouble Feng Huai caused outside, she would step in to help him suppress it.

"You little rascal, you've accomplished such a great thing without saying a word. How do you want me to reward you?" Empress Dowager Feng said with a gentle smile.

Feng Huai paused for a moment, "Nephew doesn't understand what Aunt means."

"Stop pretending. I know everything about how you had someone kill the Yun family's adopted daughter and frame Yun Wei. You did a very good job," Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Feng Huai could only say, "Unfortunately, the Jingzhao Prefecture has already posted a notice to clarify things for Yun Wei, and the Regent has suppressed the troublemakers."

"What?" Empress Dowager Feng's face darkened. "How come I haven't heard of this?"

“My aunt lives in the palace, so she naturally can’t keep up with what’s happening outside, which is why these things have happened so recently,” Feng Huai explained.

A dark look flashed across Empress Dowager Feng's eyes.

She thought this incident would definitely ruin Yunwei's reputation, but she didn't expect it to be quelled so quickly.

"How could the Jingzhao Prefecture act so carelessly? They didn't conduct a proper investigation before clearing Yunwei's name. This is outrageous! Guards, summon the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture to see me!" Empress Dowager Feng said angrily.

Feng Huai said, "Aunt, don't bother. My cousin the Emperor has already summoned that Lord Liu. He should still be in the Imperial Study right now. However, Liu Qian is the Regent's man, so my cousin the Emperor probably can't do anything about him."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Feng calmed down and sighed, "In that case, wouldn't the Yun family's adopted daughter and maid be killed in vain? How pitiful!"

Feng Huai secretly curled his lip; his aunt, the Empress Dowager, was truly hypocritical.

“But Yunwei is indeed not the real murderer,” he added slowly.

Empress Dowager Feng paused, glancing at him. "Yun Wei isn't the real murderer, then tell me, who is? You?"

Feng Huai touched his nose. "Auntie is joking. How could your nephew be the murderer? The murderer is someone else."

"Who is it?" Empress Dowager Feng asked, puzzled. Wasn't it him who killed the adopted daughter of the Yun family? Why was he now saying the murderer was someone else?

Feng Huai chuckled and said, "Aunt, you don't think your nephew would do it himself, do you? What are those men I keep for?"

Empress Dowager Feng was taken aback, then glared at him reproachfully, "You little rascal, you always know how to make fun of me."

"Your nephew wouldn't dare," Feng Huai said, lowering his head.

"No matter what, you've done a good job! Even if Yunwei isn't the murderer, she's still gotten herself into trouble. Have someone spread the word that Yunwei, the murderer, is powerless against the government because the Regent is backing her up, and that the government has no choice but to issue a proclamation to clear her name due to the Regent's pressure," Empress Dowager Feng said slowly.

Feng Huai frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

Empress Dowager Feng, upon seeing this, said with displeasure, "What? You can't even handle such a simple matter?"

“It’s not that I can’t do it, but the Regent is really powerful and influential. He’s sent people everywhere to stake out and arrest those who spread rumors,” Feng Huai said helplessly. “Many of the people I sent have already been arrested.”

Empress Dowager Feng was furious. Rong Zhen had really gone to great lengths for Yun Wei.

……

After leaving Cining Palace, Feng Huai went straight out of the city.

He kicked open the door to the villa with a gloomy expression.

The servants were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.

Haitang was also uneasy.

"Haitang, come in with me!" Feng Huai commanded.

Haitang had no choice but to follow him into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, he grabbed Haitang by the neck.

"How did you do your job? You can't even kill someone properly!" Feng Huai's voice was extremely cold.

The feeling of suffocation caused Haitang's face to turn a purplish-red, but she did not struggle.

Because she knew her master wouldn't kill her.

He just needed to vent his anger.

Sure enough, the next moment, Feng Huai released her, took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped his fingers, and then threw the handkerchief at Haitang's face.

Haitang, her face expressionless, pulled off the handkerchief.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Feng Huai sat in the chair, his expression dark and unfathomable.

Haitang knelt down. "My lord, please calm down. I don't know where I went wrong."

"Don't you know what you did wrong?" Feng Huai's voice rose several decibels. "Why did you wrap that blood-stained handkerchief with oiled paper for no reason? Were you afraid people wouldn't know you were framing someone?"

"I was foolish and didn't think that much at the time," Haitang said, bowing her head.

“If you were truly that dull-witted, you wouldn’t have survived until now,” Feng Huai said coldly.

"Master, someone has broken in!"

Just then, the panicked voice of a servant rang out from outside the door.

Feng Huai's expression changed slightly. He suddenly pulled Haitang up and made her straddle his lap.
