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

Chapter 202 Rong Zhen: I'm drunk, help me inside.

Rong Zhen hadn't expected her to bring up the past with him.

He knew about her life before she was eight years old, including that she was sold to be a child bride, but he couldn't find out what happened after she escaped from the landlord's house.

Looking back now, it must have been his master who erased everything about her.

Thinking of this, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

It's hard to imagine that she experienced so much at the age of eight.

If he hadn't met her master, he couldn't even imagine what would have happened to her.

Yunwei let him hold her, and after a long while, she said, "When Master was on his deathbed, he was worried that I would be too lonely after he passed away, so he told me about my background. I then learned that I was just an adopted daughter of the Wang family. I was switched at birth when I was a child. Master meant that I should go back to Wang Family Village and wait, and my biological parents would come to find me."

After my master passed away, I took his ashes back to the State of Wei and found a beautiful and quiet place to bury him. Then, in accordance with his last wish, I returned to Wangjia Village to wait for him.

During that time, I killed all the uncles and aunts who had seized our family's land and sold me.

She paused here, looked at Rong Zhen, and said, "Don't you think I'm very vicious?"

“No, they are the vicious ones. They are your relatives, yet they won’t give you a way to live. If you hadn’t met your master, you would have… So, they all deserve to die.” Rong Zhen suppressed his anger and comforted him.

If those people were still alive, he wouldn't let them go.

Yunwei felt relieved when she saw that he did not blame her.

He cared deeply for the people, and she was actually quite worried that he would think she was indiscriminately killing innocent people.

Fortunately, he was not a pedantic person.

She continued, "Not long after, the Yun family indeed came to my door looking for me."

When I saw the letter they took out, I realized that my master had done so much for me.

Moreover, when the two families were giving birth in the dilapidated temple, the master happened to be passing by and took shelter from the rain in that same temple.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen immediately understood, "Master saw when the two families were switched at birth?"

"Yes, but his wife had just passed away at that time, and he was heartbroken and had no mood for anything. Just then, the rain stopped, so he left directly," Yunwei said.

“Your master must have felt very guilty when he thought about this later,” Rong Zhen said.

“Yes, he felt very guilty. After he found out that I was one of the baby girls, he treated me even better, as if he wanted to make amends. But actually, how can this be blamed on him? It was the fault of that negligent servant,” Yunwei said.

“Your master is a good person,” Rong Zhen said.

"Master is a good person, but his temper can be quite strange sometimes." Yun Wei couldn't help but laugh as she thought of the old man.

“It’s clear that you were quite happy during the time you were with your master.” Rong Zhen lowered her eyes and looked at her gently.

"Yes, he saved me and taught me many skills. We were running around everywhere back then. Although it was tiring, it was really fun." Yun Wei smiled.

“I’m so glad you met your master, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have met you,” Rong Zhen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei looked up at his relieved expression, paused, and scratched his chin with her finger. "You should indeed be grateful, because if I hadn't met my master, I definitely wouldn't be alive now, and naturally I wouldn't have been able to learn medical skills. As a result, no one could have cured the Regent's poison."

"So, your master is also my great benefactor," Rong Zhen said solemnly.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll take you to meet him next year during Qingming Festival, so he can see what kind of person his disciple's husband is." Yun Wei said with a faint smile.

"Yes, you must take me with you." Rong Zhen hugged her tightly, looked at the smile on her lips, and leaned down to peck her.

Yunwei reached out and touched his handsome face. "Alright, it's getting late. I'll take you back to rest."

The two didn't go through the main gate, but went directly into Yunwei's courtyard, and then went through the side gate.

Upon reaching Rong Zhen's residence, Yun Wei stopped. "You can walk these few steps yourself. I have to go back." "Yun Wei, I'm drunk. Help me inside." Rong Zhen leaned down, his tall frame resting on her shoulder.

"Come on, the Regent is a man of few cups of wine, how could he possibly get drunk from just a few drinks? Go inside yourself." Yunwei nudged him.

Rong Zhen's handsome nose rubbed against her neck before reluctantly letting go of her.

Yunwei glanced at him with a smile, then turned and left without lingering.

Watching her figure disappear into the night, Rong Zhen stood there for a long time before entering his bedroom.

……

The next day.

Yunwei led the women of the Mu family around the capital, showing them around the city and introducing them to the surroundings.

Looking at the bustling and prosperous capital, Madam Mu felt somewhat melancholy.

Seeing that she had something on her mind, Yunwei asked, "What's wrong, Sister-in-law? You can tell us so we can discuss it together."

Upon hearing this, Madam Mu sighed, glanced at her two daughters-in-law behind her, and said in a low voice, "Your senior brother is sometimes very stubborn. I think he probably won't accept the Regent's invitation. Since that's the case, our whole family will have to think of other ways to make a living. I don't know what kind of business to do."

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said softly, "This matter is not urgent. You can take your time to think about it. Besides, I don't need your food rations. You can stay in Qingyi Garden indefinitely."

“How can that be?” Madam Mu frowned. “You’ve already helped us so much. How can we keep eating and living here for free? Besides, we’re not just one or two people. The whole family depends on you for support. What kind of talk is that?”

"Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. My brother has been so good to me; I've long considered you all family. Really, there's no need for you to be in such a hurry. Just stay here and think about your future plans slowly," Yunwei advised.

Madam Mu sighed and said, "You are a good child, but we are all capable of doing anything. We can't just be freeloaders forever. Besides, people become lazy if they don't work. So I've decided to have them go out and find work tomorrow. Anything is fine, as long as they can eat."

During their time in exile, they did everything they could. She had already come to terms with it: if her husband was no longer willing to serve in government, then they would find another way to live.

Hearing her say that, Yunwei didn't try to persuade her any further.

Because Madam Mu was a proud person, she was unwilling to continue living under someone else's roof.

"Weiwei, take us to the market," said Madam Mu.

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

Upon arriving at the market, one sees a wide variety of goods for sale, with vendors calling out their wares in a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Looking at the bustling scene before her, Madam Mu seemed lost in thought.

After strolling around for a while, Yunwei stopped at a noodle stall and peeked inside. Sure enough, she saw Shen Shi inside, busy at work.

Seeing this, Yunwei said to Madam Mu, "Sister-in-law, this is a noodle stall set up by a friend of mine. Shall we go and try her noodles?"

“Okay,” Madam Mu readily agreed.

"Boss, five bowls of zha jiang mian (noodles with minced meat sauce), please."

As Shen was kneading dough, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. Looking up, she saw Yun Wei standing there with a smile on her face.

"Yunwei, what brings you here?" Madam Shen was both surprised and delighted.

"I was just passing by, and seeing how thriving your stall is, I had to come in and try it," Yunwei said with a smile, then introduced Madam Mu and a few others to her.

"I'm so glad you could come. Please have your friends sit down, I'll make you some noodles right away." Madam Shen smiled broadly and then instructed her maid Tao'er and servant Xiao Chunzi to serve them.

After sitting down with Yun Wei, Madam Mu looked around the noodle stall. Seeing that there were quite a few people sitting at the small stall, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She asked, "Junior Sister, how much does your friend earn in a month running this kind of food stall?"

"I heard her say last time that she can earn several taels of silver a month," Yunwei replied. "What, is Sister-in-law interested in doing business?"
