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

Chapter 209 There must be a reason why they won't let you touch them.

"Her target is Rong Zhen," Yun Wei continued, seemingly unconcerned.

“Weiwei, don’t misunderstand. The Regent has absolutely no feelings for her. She’s just deluding herself,” Aman quickly said.

“I know,” Yunwei nodded.

Xuan Yuanjing gasped in astonishment, "So Consort Yu is this kind of person? Then why did she serve my father in the first place?"

“She’s cheap,” Aman said.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing agreed wholeheartedly, "Yeah, now that you mention it, I also think she's pretty despicable."

Aman looked at Yunwei and placed her hand on the back of her hand. "You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Is something wrong?"

Yunwei was taken aback.

Xuanyuan Jing looked at her curiously, "Yes, Sister Yun, what exactly happened? Tell us so we can figure it out for you."

Yunwei snapped out of her daze and said helplessly, "It's nothing, don't speculate. Let's have some tea." She picked up the teapot and refilled their cups.

The three of them spent the afternoon drinking tea at Wangyue Tower.

They all went home in the evening.

Yunwei returned to the county princess's mansion and went straight into the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, and she didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Tian'er came up to greet her with a smile, "Miss is back?"

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

"Shall I have someone prepare dinner?" Tian'er asked.

Yunwei had been drinking tea and snacks all afternoon and was already full, so she declined, saying, "I won't eat tonight."

“How can we not eat? I’ll ask the kitchen to make less,” Tian’er said, frowning.

"Whatever you want." Yun Wei was a little tired. After saying that, she went inside.

"Where did you go? Why are you only coming back now?"

Just as Yunwei was about to take off her cloak, a deep male voice suddenly sounded from inside the room.

She looked up and saw Rong Zhen leisurely reclining on her soft couch, reading a book. It seemed he had been there for quite some time.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then frowned. "Why is the Regent here?"

Hearing her somewhat distant tone, Rong Zhen paused, sat up straight, and looked at her scrutinizingly with her phoenix eyes. "It's only been a few days, why do you act like you don't recognize me?"

Yunwei ignored him, threw off her cloak, and went straight into the inner room.

Rong Zhen was silent for a moment, then got up and followed him inside.

As Yunwei walked to the washstand to wash her face, the man's strong arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind.

She stiffened, turned her head to look at the man, and said angrily, "Let go!"

Seeing the coldness on her face, Rong Zhen frowned slightly. Then, he rested his smooth chin on her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Haven't you missed me at all these days?"

"I don't want to." Yun Wei's voice was cold as she lowered her head to pry his hand away.

But the man's hands around her waist tightened even more.

Yun Wei got angry. "Rong Zhen, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."

Rong Zhen's handsome face visibly darkened. "Why are you going to be so rude to me?"

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then suddenly delivered an elbow strike to his abdomen.

Rong Zhen grunted, staring at her in astonishment, "You actually did it?"

Yunwei was taken aback when she saw that he didn't dodge. She said coldly, "Of course it's true. I'm not joking with you. Are you going to let go or not?"

Rong Zhen looked her up and down, then hesitated before saying, "I've heard that women become particularly irritable during their menstrual period, so are you on your period now?"

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then sneered, "The Regent seems to know a lot about women's affairs."

Rong Zhen pointed to the outer room, "It was written in the medical book you put outside. I flipped through a few pages and saw it there."

Yun Wei: "..."

"You've really started your period?" Rong Zhen pressed. Yun Wei's face flushed slightly, and she pushed him away, "Get out of here!"

Rong Zhen was caught off guard by her push and stumbled. "Hey, isn't the maid preparing your meal? I'll go back after we finish dinner together."

"There's none for you. If you want some, go back to your own residence," Yunwei said bluntly.

Rong Zhen sighed, "Women who are menstruating are definitely not to be trifled with."

Yun Wei: "..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't have my period."

Rong Zhen was taken aback. "If she hasn't come yet, she should come in a couple of days. The medical book says that before menstruation, a woman's mood is also unusually irritable."

Yun Wei: "..."

She glared at him with a gloomy expression and sneered, "The dignified Regent is actually studying women's menstrual flow. Should we let the whole world see the Regent's charm?"

"I'm researching my own woman's secrets. Even if others find out, what can they say?" Rong Zhen didn't seem to care much.

Yun Wei: "..."

How did this man become so shameless?

"Miss, dinner is ready." At this moment, Tian'er's voice rang out from outside.

Before Yunwei could speak, Rong Zhen took her hand and said, "It's getting cold now, the food will get cold easily. Let's go and eat quickly."

Before she knew it, Yunwei was taken to the outer room.

In the outer room, looking at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, Yunwei looked up at Tian'er, feeling displeased. This girl knew that Rong Zhen had come, but she didn't even inform her, and she even took it upon herself to prepare two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Tian'er smiled ingratiatingly at her, and after setting down the dishes with her entourage, she quickly withdrew.

"Sit down." Rong Zhen helped Yun Wei sit down in a chair, then ladled her a bowl of soup and said gently, "This is your favorite fish soup, drink it while it's hot."

Looking at the man's skillful manner, Yunwei felt a complex mix of emotions.

She remained silent, picked up her spoon, took a sip of soup, put it down, looked at the man opposite her, and asked, "Why haven't you come back these past few days?"

Rong Zhen also ladled himself a bowl of soup. Just as he was about to drink it, he heard this, put down the bowl, and said gently, "Some things have happened in the camp. I'll stay and deal with them."

"What is it?" Yun Wei narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, watching the man's expression.

“Someone deliberately incited the soldiers. Those soldiers, unaware of the situation, thought that the imperial court was really not paying them their military pay, and they secretly gathered together, intending to rebel,” Rong Zhen explained.

Yun Wei was stunned for a moment, "Is that really so?"

Rong Zhen nodded. "Yes, but this matter involves the imperial court and should not be publicized. It can only be suppressed in secret, so I did not send anyone back with the message."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and said, "I thought..."

"What do you think?" Rong Zhen asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yunwei glanced at him, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He must have spent these past few days in the camp trying to quell the soldiers' resentment, while she's here making baseless assumptions about him...

Rong Zhen finally realized that something was wrong.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No." Yunwei shook her head, picked up her chopsticks, and put a few pieces of mutton on his plate. "Eat some vegetables. You've worked hard these past few days. Eat more."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen said nothing more and lowered his head to eat.

Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to eat her food.

After the meal, Tian'er led people in to clear away the dishes and served tea to the two of them.

Amidst the wafting aroma of tea, Rong Zhen's slender fingers gently caressed the delicate patterns on the cup. Suddenly, he asked, "You've finished eating. Shouldn't you explain something to me?"

"Explain what?" Yun Wei paused, then, as if remembering something, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she avoided eye contact.

Rong Zhen glanced at her, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Explain why you treated me that way just now?"

Yun Wei choked for a moment, then used the act of drinking tea to hide her unease, saying in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with my attitude? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Rong Zhen was amused by her and reached out to pinch her chin, forcing her to look at him directly. "When you saw me just now, your attitude was like ice, and you wouldn't let me touch you. There must be a reason, right?"
