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

Chapter 204 Rong Zhen's Bath in Broad Daylight
"It should be ready soon," Yunwei replied while pouring tea for the group.

She originally wanted Yu Niang to arrange the wedding dress, but the Wei royal family had special people in charge of weddings.

The wedding attire for the prince and princess was also made in a rush by the Imperial Household Department.

"Once the wedding dress is finished, it will definitely be sent over for you to try on. You must let me know then, I want to see it as soon as possible," Aman said excitedly.

“I want to see it too.” Xuan Yuanjing was also very interested.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know when the time comes," Yun Wei said with a smile.

Rong Xue listened to the three women discussing wedding attire with little interest. After finishing his tea, he stood up and said, "Aunt, I'll head back now."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded. "Rong Xue, thank you for today."

"Why are you being so polite, Aunt? We're all family, and besides, I didn't do anything wrong." Rong Xue shook her head.

After he left, Aman praised, "The young prince is really quite good."

"It's a pity that it hasn't even grown all its feathers yet," Xuan Yuanjing said with a hint of regret.

Aman was both amused and exasperated. "You're all grown up now, so what do you want? Isn't your goal Lord Pei?"

“Not necessarily. We need to broaden our horizons. If we only focus on one person and it turns out to be unsuitable, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?” Xuan Yuanjing said.

"So, according to you, you have multiple targets now?" Yun Wei raised an eyebrow.

Xuan Yuanjing coughed lightly, "But my main target is still Pei Qing."

Yun Wei's lips twitched slightly. "Don't go too far, or you'll end up with nothing."

"Pah, pah, pah, I'm not that unlucky," Xuan Yuanjing quickly said.

"Doesn't Madam Pei like you quite a bit? I think you shouldn't be in such a hurry," Aman advised.

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

After finishing their tea, the three strolled around for a while before heading back to their respective homes.

In front of the county magistrate's mansion.

As soon as Yunwei stepped off the carriage, she saw Yu Shu coming out of the Regent's Palace in a hurry, her clothes and hair somewhat disheveled.

Upon seeing Yunwei, she appeared flustered, and without saying hello, hurriedly boarded the carriage and left.

Yunwei frowned slightly and entered the county princess's residence.

She sat in the room for a while, the image of Yu Shu's disheveled appearance flashing through her mind, and finally couldn't bear it, so she got up and went to the Regent's Palace.

We went through the small gate in her yard.

As soon as she entered the study, she saw Rong Zhen walk in from outside, his clothes damp with sweat.

Upon seeing her, he was visibly taken aback, somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"

Yunwei's gaze fell on his damp temples, she pursed her lips, and asked, "Can't I come over?"

"Of course not," Rong Zhen said with amusement, stepping forward to take her hand, but Yun Wei avoided it.

She stood there with her hands behind her back, looking at him. "Why are you taking a bath in broad daylight?"

Rong Zhen paused, then frowned and said, "I accidentally got my clothes dirty just now, so I went to wash them."

Hearing his explanation, Yun Wei frowned and said bluntly, "When I came back just now, I bumped into Yu Shu outside the door. Why is she here again?"

Rong Zhen was incredibly perceptive. Upon hearing this, he immediately realized that she had misunderstood. He quickly said, "It's not what you think. There's nothing between us. She came to the Prince's residence because the reward I requested for her has been given, and she came to express her gratitude."

"Is that all? Thank you for the reward. Why is she disheveled? And why is the Regent taking a bath in broad daylight? Are you two having some kind of affair?" Yun Wei crossed her arms, looking at him with a leisurely air. "Yun Wei!" Rong Zhen's voice deepened, "Watch your words!"

Yun Wei paused, then turned and sat down in the chair. "Then explain yourself properly. What exactly happened? Don't try to fool me!"

Seeing her cold expression, Rong Zhen felt a little guilty and squatted down beside her. "Actually, it's nothing. Sang Qing made me a cup of ginseng tea, and Yu Shu rushed to hand it to me, but ended up spilling the tea on me. My robe got wet, so I took a bath and changed into a clean robe."

Yun Wei frowned. "If that's all there is to it, why don't you just say it directly? Instead, you're acting all secretive. Besides, just now outside the manor gate, Yu Shu's clothes and hair were disheveled, and she seemed to be in a hurry, as if she had done something shameful."

Rong Zhen's expression changed. "Yu Shu was perfectly fine when she left here. How could she be disheveled? If you don't believe me, you can ask Sang Qing. He was there at the time."

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Yunwei asked.

Rong Zhen frowned and asked, "What will it take for you to believe me?"

Yunwei was silent for a while before saying, "I believe you are a sensible person, but you can't stop others from having designs on you. Next time, don't see Yu Shu again, lest you get yourself into trouble and can't get rid of it."

"Okay." Rong Zhen's expression softened slightly as he agreed.

Yun Wei stood up and said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."

Seeing this, Rong Zhen reached out and pulled her back, saying, "Sit a little longer."

"No, I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest for a while," Yun Wei shook her head.

Rong Zhen had no choice but to let go of her hand. "Then I'll come find you later."

"Mm," Yun Wei replied.

As she stepped out of the study, she bumped into Sang Qing. After a moment's thought, she pulled him aside and asked bluntly, "What's going on with Yu Shu?"

Sang Qing understood immediately and quickly recounted what had happened in the study.

"...You mean, Yu Shu used the excuse of serving tea to your master to throw herself into his arms?" Yun Wei frowned.

“Yes.” Sang Qing nodded, saying with great dissatisfaction, “Yu Shu has become so audacious because her father was once the master’s subordinate and she has made merit this time. If it weren’t for her deceased father, the master would probably have crippled her.”

"It's not that serious," Yun Wei raised an eyebrow.

“It’s quite serious. You know our master is a germaphobe and doesn’t like others touching him, except for the county princess, of course.” Sang Qing said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei seemed to understand something. "So, Yu Shu really succeeded just now?"

"What do you mean, 'successful'?" Sang Qing was taken aback, then hurriedly explained, "The master doesn't even look at her. She just took advantage of the situation and threw herself into the master's arms, trying to do something improper to him. The master didn't touch her. Please don't misunderstand, Princess."

"Alright, I understand." Seeing his anxiety, Yunwei interrupted him with amusement.

Sang Qing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Princess, you must trust your master. He has always been virtuous and clean. If he were so promiscuous, he would have had a large number of wives and concubines long ago. Your master only has eyes for you, Princess. He doesn't even look at those other slutty and cheap women."

"You sure know how to speak well of him," Yunwei said irritably.

Sang Qing chuckled and said, "The master's goodness is obvious to all."

"Alright, stop bragging, I'm leaving now," Yun Wei said.

"Please take care, Your Highness," Sang Qing said respectfully.

When Yunwei turned around, the smile on her face faded.

Although Rong Zhen and Yu Shu had nothing going on, he still kept it a secret from her.

Yu Shu had already thrown herself into his arms, yet he still kept it a secret.

Yunwei felt a slight displeasure.
