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

Chapter 193 Let's see how you perform

After Qingfeng and his men left, Liu Qian also took his leave.

Seeing that her business here was finished, Yunwei didn't want to stay any longer and was about to leave with Haitang when, unexpectedly, Yunyueshan stopped her.

“You say she’s Feng Huai’s person, which means that everything that happened to Yao Yao was done by Feng Huai. In that case, Haitang can’t be let go. She is the most convincing witness to testify against Feng Huai.”

"To be precise, Yun Yao and Feng Huai colluded with each other." Yun Wei glanced at him and said calmly, "I will definitely hold Yun Yao accountable for colluding with Feng Huai to frame me when she returns. Don't worry."

Yunyue Mountain choked.

Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Yunwei took Haitang and left.

By the time they returned to the county magistrate's residence, night had fallen.

When Tian'er saw that she had brought someone back, she asked curiously, "Miss, who is she?"

"Her name is Haitang, please make arrangements for her," Yunwei said.

Upon hearing this, Tian'er immediately perked up, "Then how should I arrange things for her?"

"You can arrange any tasks that need to be done in the courtyard," Yunwei said.

Upon hearing this, Tian'er immediately said, "This servant understands. Haitang, come with me. I'll help you settle in and then we'll talk about the rules of the county princess's mansion."

Haitang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yunwei, "Princess, this servant knows some martial arts and can handle the task of guarding the Princess's residence."

"Do you want to be a guard at the county princess's mansion?" Yunwei asked.

"Yes." Haitang nodded.

Sweetie looked at her in surprise, "You can be a guard?"

Haitang affirmed, "Yes." After a pause, she added, "I used to work as a guard at the Feng family's villa."

Yun Wei said calmly, "You are not only a guard at the Feng family's villa, but also an assassin kept by Feng Huai. You must have dealt with quite a few people for him, right?"

Haitang quickly lowered her head, "Master, Young Master Feng didn't ask me to do those things."

“Your master has already abandoned you, yet you’re still speaking up for him.” Yun Wei shook her head.

Haitang remained silent, her lips pursed.

"What I'm curious about is why you felt pity for Yun Yao and let her go?" Yun Wei asked, puzzled.

This Haitang is not only skilled in craftsmanship, able to make such exquisite human skin masks, but also knows martial arts. She doesn't believe that she is just Feng Huai's concubine.

In her eyes, Haitang was a killer kept by Feng Huai.

Assassins are usually cold-blooded and ruthless, but Haitang was soft-hearted towards Yun Yao and her servant. She even deliberately revealed a flaw in the matter of the blood-stained handkerchief, not only letting Yun Yao and her servant go but also leaving her room for maneuver, which puzzled Haitang.

"I guess Feng Huai doesn't know that you took it upon yourself to replace Yun Yao and her servant with a death row inmate, right?" Yun Wei said.

"Yes." Haitang admitted, and could even imagine her master's reaction after finding out about this.

Even though she had already left her master, the thought of his reaction still made her heart tremble with fear.

"Why did you do this?" Yunwei asked curiously.

Haitang paused for a moment before saying, "I don't want to kill innocent people anymore."

"Innocent?" Yun Wei scoffed. Yun Yao was anything but innocent.

“At least, it doesn’t warrant death,” Haitang couldn’t help but say when she saw that Haitang didn’t take it seriously.

Yunwei said meaningfully, "You're so easily swayed. Feng Huai has miscalculated by sending you to be a spy for me." Haitang's expression changed slightly. "Your Highness, you misunderstand. Young Master Feng doesn't want me anymore; he didn't send me to be a spy for you..."

"Alright, you and Tian'er go settle in first. If you want to be a guard, it depends on your performance." Yun Wei interrupted her without listening to her continue arguing.

"Yes." Haitang dared not object and followed Tian'er downstairs.

So much happened today. Yunwei was exhausted from running around, so she lay down on the soft couch to rest for a while.

When Feng Huai realized that his plan had been exposed, he immediately pushed Haitang out to take the blame. In reality, he was taking the opportunity to push Haitang to his side as a spy so that he could get what he wanted.

Originally, she didn't understand why someone like Feng Huai would collude with Yun Yao and scheme to frame her. Now, she understood. Feng Huai did that simply because he believed the rumors that she had some treasure and the secret to immortality.

Yunwei found it laughable.

A false rumor has somehow summoned so many demons and monsters out of the wild.

"Fell asleep?"

Just as she was lost in thought, a deep, pleasant voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Yun Wei opened her eyes and met Rong Zhen's dark, inky gaze.

"What, don't you recognize me?" Rong Zhen chuckled softly when he saw her staring blankly at him.

Yun Wei snapped out of her daze and quickly sat up. "Why did you come here?"

Rong Zhen straightened his sleeves and sat down beside her. He did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "It was indeed a wise move to open a gate in your courtyard wall."

Yun Wei chuckled and said, "Is the Regent bragging?"

Rong Zhen coughed lightly and brought up another matter, "Before Qingfeng left the city, he went back to the Prince's Mansion and explained to me that he was going to chase after Yun Yao and her servant. He left in a hurry and didn't explain clearly. County Princess, would you mind clearing up my doubts?"

Yun Wei nodded and then told her that the mastermind was Feng Huai, that Yun Yao and her servant were not dead, and that the two corpses in the Pingning Marquis's mansion were death row inmates.

Finally, she also shared her earlier guess.

Rong Zhen frowned slightly. "Are you saying that Feng Huai is after that so-called treasure and the secret to immortality?"

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

"If that's the case, why do you still keep his subordinate Haitang by your side? Aren't you afraid she might actually be a spy sent to you by Feng Huai?" Rong Zhen asked.

Yunwei explained, "Haitang was a spy that Feng Huai sent to my side. But Haitang is a very contradictory girl. She should be an assassin kept by Feng Huai, but she is also very kind-hearted. I think she probably doesn't agree with Feng Huai's methods, which is why she showed mercy to Yun Yao and her servant, and also revealed a flaw to us on the blood-stained handkerchief."

For this reason, I didn't want to send her to jail. I kept her by my side, hoping to give her a chance to turn things around.

"As long as you know it yourself, that's fine." Rong Zhen had no further objections upon hearing this.

"By the way, is there something you need that came so late?" Yunwei asked.

Rong Zhen nodded. "There is indeed something. You left for the outskirts of the capital very early this evening, and I didn't have time to tell you. The Imperial Observatory has already calculated the date. The 28th of this month is an auspicious day for marriage. So, I have set the wedding date for that day. What do you think?"

"The end of this month?" Yun Wei exclaimed in surprise, "There are only a few days left."

“There are still more than twenty days left. We have plenty of manpower and can make preparations,” Rong Zhen said. “Of course, if you mind, then we can reschedule.”

Yunwei looked at him with a complicated expression.

She agreed to let him set a date for the wedding as soon as possible, but she never expected him to choose such an early date.

However, since she had already agreed to marry him, there was no need to be coy anymore, so she said, "Fine, since you think that day is good, then let's go with that day."
