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

Chapter 197 Rong Zhen: I am your man
"No," Yunwei said honestly.

"Weren't you waiting for me?" Rong Zhenjun looked somewhat disappointed.

Seeing this, Yunwei found it amusing and explained, "Li Yanting and his wife came over just now. They were worried about me, so they made a special trip to see me. They sat for a while and then left. I saw them out."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen's expression softened slightly. "They are very thoughtful."

"Yes," Yunwei nodded.

Li Yanting and Shen Shi have now settled down. They are both good at planning, and their lives will definitely get better and better in the future.

"How was it? Nothing happened in court today, right?" Yunwei asked in turn.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment and said, "Some disputes occurred, but they have all been resolved."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei frowned slightly. "Because of what happened to me, the Emperor used this as an excuse to make things difficult for you?"

Rong Zhen took her hand and said as they walked, "He doesn't dare to directly attack me. He only dares to use underhanded methods, making Feng Minghui, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, his pawn."

"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly." Yunwei was very curious.

Rong Zhen then recounted to her what had happened in the court that day.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she had guessed, the emperor would use her affair to make trouble for Rong Zhen. Fortunately, he was no pushover and had taken precautions.

but--

"Yun Yao found it so quickly?" she asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, they didn’t walk fast, and Qingfeng found them without much effort,” Rong Zhen said. “Although they were only flogged today, tomorrow they will go to the execution ground and, in front of the people, read out their crimes and publicly apologize to you.”

Although the government had posted notices to clarify things for Yunwei, nothing was as convincing as the real culprit speaking out himself.

If Feng Huai and Yun Yao stand at the market tomorrow, those slanderous remarks about Yun Wei will naturally disappear.

Yunwei was fairly satisfied with the result.

Since the two men had killed prisoners on death row, the emperor could not impose a heavy sentence on them.

No sooner had the two entered the county princess's residence than the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite them to the palace.

Shoukang Palace.

The Empress Dowager held Yunwei's hand, her face full of heartache, "These past two days have been so difficult for you."

Yunwei felt a warmth in her heart and shook her head, saying, "You're overthinking it. I haven't suffered."

"How could there not be? I've heard about it all. Everyone thinks you're the murderer, and many ignorant people are denouncing you." The Empress Dowager was very displeased when she spoke of this matter, and she blamed Rong Zhen, saying, "It's all your fault. You couldn't even protect your own fiancée. What use are you?"

"It's not his fault. Those people had planned this all along, wanting to get back at me," Yun Wei quickly said.

"It's all his fault!" the Empress Dowager insisted.

Rong Zhen nodded. "Mother is right. I am useless. Someone even wanted to break off the engagement with me and sever ties because of this."

"What?" The Empress Dowager was startled and gripped Yunwei's hand tightly. "The engagement cannot be annulled. He is incompetent. Tell me, and I will teach him a lesson."

Yun Wei: "..."

She glanced sideways at the petty man and explained to the Empress Dowager, "I was afraid that things would escalate and implicate him, so I thought of annuling the engagement with him first. However, that was just a temporary measure and not a real intention to annul the engagement."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Weiwei, you are so kind and virtuous. When faced with such a situation, your first thought was not to implicate Rong Shenzhi. How can you be so kind? What has Rong Shenzhi done to deserve such a good girl like you?"

Yunwei was extremely embarrassed by the praise.

"But you're overthinking it. If your man can't even handle this kind of thing, how can he be a regent? In the future, when something happens, don't rush in. Leave it all to him and let him handle it," the Empress Dowager instructed.

Yun Wei: "..." "Did you hear that? I'm your man. Everything that happens to you should be handed over to me." Rong Zhen's lips curled up, clearly very pleased.

Yunwei rolled her eyes at him.

This man really knows how to take advantage of others.

What about her man?

She felt a little ashamed, as the two of them weren't even married yet.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly and then brought up another matter, "By the way, Mother, I summoned the Imperial Observatory yesterday and set the wedding date with Yunwei for the 28th of this month."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was initially delighted, but after realizing what she meant, she looked disapproving. "There are only a few days left. Isn't this too rushed? Don't make things difficult for Weiwei."

"No, I'll keep an eye on the wedding arrangements when I have time," Rong Zhen said confidently.

The Empress Dowager still felt something was amiss.

Which prince's wedding was held in such a rushed manner?
Seeing this, Yunwei tugged at her sleeve, "The wedding is just a formality, I don't care about those things."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "You are such a good child." Turning to Rong Zhen, she said fiercely, "Such a good daughter-in-law, you must treat her well. If you dare to make her suffer any grievances in the future, I will not forgive you."

Rong Zhen said with a serious expression, "I understand."

The Empress Dowager was finally satisfied.

……

At this time, it was the residence of the Marquis of Pingning.

After being flogged and rendered unconscious, Yun Yao was sent back to the Pingning Marquis's residence.

Seeing her lying on the wooden board, covered in blood, Xu's expression softened slightly.

After all, she was someone I raised myself. Even though she had done many wrong things, it was hard for me not to waver when I saw her in such a miserable state.

Seeing that she was showing signs of softening, Madam Qi frowned and said, "Mother, Yun Yao brought this upon herself. If Weiwei hadn't discovered the truth, it would be Weiwei suffering right now."

On the other hand, Yun Yao actually colluded with outsiders to frame Weiwei, and her intentions are despicable.

I think her roots are already rotten. Once the wounds heal, she will definitely cause more trouble.

This time, she was lucky to escape with her life; next time, it's hard to say.

Upon hearing what she said, Xu's already wavering heart hesitated again.

Yes, if Weiwei hadn't found out the truth, who knows what kind of misunderstandings and insults she would have suffered? She might have even been beheaded or imprisoned.

Moreover, if Weiwei hadn't uncovered the truth, they would all have been kept in the dark, still grieving and blaming themselves for Yunyao's death.

In contrast, Yun Yao was so heartless. Not only did she not die, but she also wanted to run off to Xizhou to live a carefree life, without caring about her family's feelings at all.

Thinking of this, she said dejectedly, "I will no longer care about her. Do whatever you want with her."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Didn't Mother and Father agree before that they would send her out of the capital? After so many things have happened, I think it's not appropriate for her to stay in the capital any longer. Let's just follow the original plan and send her away from the capital."

Choose a village further away for her to stay in, so she can recover properly and cultivate her mind and body.

"We'll marry her off when we find a suitable family."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu nodded, "Let's do it that way."

Although Yun Yueshan was somewhat reluctant, he was also a little scared when he thought about what Yun Yao had caused, so he didn't object this time.
