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

Chapter 210: Confession
"Didn't you read medical books? You should know that women about to have their period are... moody and unpredictable." Facing the man's sharp eyes, Yunwei forced herself to make up a story.

Rong Zhen scoffed lightly, "I did think you were about to get your period, which is why you were acting so strangely. But I later found out that it wasn't what I thought. Your sudden bad temper has nothing to do with your period. Don't use your period as an excuse."

Yunwei felt like she was going crazy.

We ended up discussing menstrual blood with him here.

To end this absurd topic, she had no choice but to honestly confess, "I know everything that happened at Zuiyue Tower that night."

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Yunwei frowned slightly. "So, you actually care, right?"

"Yunwei, listen to me, I didn't..."

“If you care, it’s not too late to call off the engagement now,” Yunwei quickly interrupted him.

Rong Zhen pursed his thin lips, looking at her with annoyance, "Why are you bringing up breaking off the engagement again?"

Seeing his anger, Yunwei paused, then looked at him seriously, "Rongzhen, I have indeed been married before, that's an unchangeable fact. You need to think this through, otherwise it won't be good for you or for me if you regret it someday."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen reached out and touched her hair, saying firmly, "Of course I know, and I won't regret it."

“But you’re not feeling comfortable inside,” Yunwei said, pointing out the obvious.

Rong Zhen paused, then nodded. "That night at Zuiyue Tower, when I suddenly heard others talking about you like that, I was indeed uncomfortable. I didn't like others talking about you like that. At that moment, I wanted to kill those people to vent my anger."

As they left the Drunken Moon Pavilion, the cold night wind brought them back to their senses, and they only managed to have the wind cut out the tongue of one of them.

I believe that after this incident, those people will not dare to speak recklessly again.

Yunwei was taken aback. "Are you uncomfortable because people are talking about me? Not because I've been married before?"

“We didn’t just meet that day; we’ve known each other for quite some time now. I’m well aware of your situation, and if I minded, I wouldn’t have married you.” Rong Zhen paused here, reached out and pulled her into his arms, his voice slightly low. “But I have indeed thought that if I had met you earlier, you wouldn’t have had those experiences, and you would belong to me completely.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei remained silent for a moment, "But Rong Zhen, there are no 'what ifs' in this world."

“I know.” Rong Zhen nodded and loosened his grip on her a little. “You are great now, and I want to marry you now, because three years ago, we would never have crossed paths, and even if we had, we might not have ended up together.”

Yun Wei nodded. "You're right."

Even though she was unmarried three years ago, the two of them didn't have the chance to be together.

"But you really won't dislike me?" she asked earnestly.

Rong Zhen smiled wryly and said, "And you, will you find me unpleasant?"

Yun Wei was taken aback. "What do you dislike about me?"

"If it weren't for the Yun Dong family's miraculous healing, I would be dead by now, and even if I were alive, I wouldn't be able to... cough cough, you know what I mean!" Rong Zhen said, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his handsome face.

Yunwei realized what she meant and said with a laugh, "You mean you couldn't do it back then?"

Rong Zhen quickly reached out and covered her mouth, somewhat exasperated, "You don't have to say it."

"Okay, okay, I know." Yunwei quickly pulled his hand away.

Rong Zhen snorted coldly, "You know too much about me. If you weren't about to marry me, we would be in the same boat from now on. I have to silence you."

"Indeed, in order to survive, I had no choice but to marry you," Yunwei said, suppressing a smile.

"It's good that you know." Rong Zhen smiled and tapped her forehead with his long fingers. "Don't overthink it anymore. I remember telling you before that I don't mind that you've been married before."

Yun Wei suddenly felt relieved and nodded, "Mm."

After the two talked things out, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Outside the door, Tian'er had been watching the movements inside the room, and seeing that the atmosphere was peaceful, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the young lady hasn't said anything these past few days, she can sense that she's unhappy.

As expected, it has to be the regent.

The moment someone arrived, the young lady's mood improved.

After Rong Zhen returned, Yun Wei called Tian'er in, "Do you know your mistake?"

Tian'er knelt down without hesitation, "This servant knows her mistake."

Yunwei pursed her lips, wanting to call her up, but thinking about what the girl had done on her own initiative, she felt that she should still give her some punishment.

"What's wrong?"

"The Regent has come. I shouldn't have kept it a secret. I prepared a meal for the Regent without asking Miss and even added extra bowls and chopsticks." Tian'er reflected earnestly.

Yunwei nodded, "Good that you know. If you do it again next time, don't blame me for disregarding our master-servant relationship and punishing you severely."

“If I offend again, I will accept the punishment,” Tian’er said immediately.

"Alright, get up," Yunwei said.

"Miss Xie," Tian'er stood up and said solicitously, "Would you like to take a bath now, Miss? I'll go prepare some water for you."

"Hmm." Yun Wei nodded, picked up the medical book that was placed aside, and began to read it.

Although Rong Zhen often came to her room, Tian'er knew perfectly well that she was in a bad mood because of Rong Zhen. After he came, she didn't tell him and even took it upon herself to prepare Rong Zhen's meals without asking her permission.

She knew that Tian'er meant well, but she didn't like this kind of self-righteous good intention. Moreover, if she let it go this time, she was worried that Tian'er would do the same thing again next time she encountered another problem.

Small matters are one thing, but what if big matters are like this too? Wouldn't that be terrible?
……

Li House.

Chen Yuniang sat in a chair behind the screen and said to the servants waiting outside, "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

The servant outside the screen immediately replied, "Yes, after I arrived in Yangzhou, I inquired carefully. None of the doctors who provide free medical consultations to the people there, nor the pharmacies that distribute free medicinal herbs to the people, were arranged by the County Lord Rong'an. They had never even heard of the County Lord Rong'an arranging for anyone to go and help."

Hearing this, Chen Yuniang's previously gloomy expression instantly brightened. "Are you sure?"

"I'm certain. I've found out which pharmacies were involved in those free clinics. We've sent many people from pharmacies in the capital, but none of them have any connection whatsoever with Princess Rong'an," the servant said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang's lips curled into a smile.

Last time, in order to exonerate Yunwei, the Regent fabricated a story about her leading the donation of medicinal herbs to the people of Yangzhou and providing free medical consultations, just to give her a reputation for loving the people.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a ruse.

Yunwei didn't send anyone to the free clinic at all.

She did nothing, yet she has a great reputation; she's truly shameless.

If this matter were to be publicized, the common people, and those who truly contributed money and effort for the people of Yangzhou, would certainly not be willing to accept it.

At that time, everyone will criticize her, and the censors will impeach her.

The so-called reputation of Yunwei for loving the people will become a joke.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuniang couldn't wait to see Yunwei suffer, so she ordered, "Spread this news as soon as possible, so that everyone can see that the so-called love for the people by the Rong'an County Princess is all fabricated, and she has never done anything for the people."
