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

Chapter 226 What a clever scheme!
Yunwei was not surprised that she knew about her affairs.

Now, almost everyone in the capital knows that she is the owner of Qianjin Pavilion and also knows medicine.

"What, do you want me to take your pulse?" Yun Wei asked casually.

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Shen extended her hand in front of her and said with a smile, "Then please invite Master Yun to take my pulse."

Yunwei glanced at her and deliberately said, "My consultation fees are very expensive."

Ms. Shen blinked. "I know, but given our relationship, how could you possibly accept my consultation fee?"

Yun Wei scoffed, "You're really shameless. What kind of relationship do we have?"

That's what he said, but he still placed his hand on her pulse.

A moment later, Yun Wei withdrew her hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You're pregnant?"

Shen blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

She picked up her teacup and said, feigning composure, "If you're not mistaken, then it should be pregnant."

This month, her period didn't come, and she vaguely guessed that she might be pregnant. She originally wanted to see a doctor, but after learning that Yunwei knew how to treat bed patients, she simply came to see her instead.

Yunwei said with a smile, "Then congratulations."

"Thank you." Madam Shen's face beamed with joy, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly.

"I knew it! You're neglecting your business to come here and chat idly, all to save on your consultation fee," Yun Wei said, getting straight to the point.

Ms. Shen's smile faded, and she said with a serious expression, "I'm not trying to save on consultation fees; I trust your medical skills."

"Don't give me that." Yun Wei snorted coldly.

"Congratulations, Madam Li." Tian'er said with a smile.

"Thank you." Madam Shen squeezed her hand.

"Now that you're pregnant, take good care of yourself. Leave the work at the stall to your maid," Yunwei reminded her.

Madam Shen nodded. “I know. Tao’er has already learned my skills, and with Xiao Chunzi helping her, I’ll leave the noodle stall to them. Anyway, we have enough money now. I’ll focus on preparing for childbirth, and the imperial examination is approaching. I need to stay home to help my husband recover and urge him to study.”

Yunwei said, "As long as you have a plan, that's fine. As for Yanting, he has his own way of handling his studies, so you don't need to push him too hard, lest it backfire."

"I understand," Madam Shen nodded in response.

"Since you have time, why don't you stay for lunch?" Yunwei said.

This time, Madam Shen didn't refuse. "That's great."

……

Two days later, the wedding dress arrived.

Yunwei planned to try it on, and if it didn't fit, she would send it to the embroiderers at the Brocade Pavilion to be altered.

She sent someone to call Aman and Xuanyuan Jing, but unexpectedly, Madam Xu and Madam Qi also came with Xia Jie'er.

For a time, Yunwei's courtyard was very lively.

"This Regent's wife's wedding dress is truly extraordinary, it's so beautiful!" Aman exclaimed, touching the gold thread and pearls on the dress.

"Sister Yun, hurry up and change into your wedding dress so we can see it," Xuan Yuanjing urged.

"Auntie, hurry up and change into your wedding dress!" Xia Jie'er chimed in.

When Yunwei came out in her wedding dress, everyone was so amazed that they couldn't take their eyes off her.

She was already beautiful, and with such a magnificent wedding dress, she possessed a breathtaking beauty.

"Auntie, you're so beautiful!" The first to come to her senses was Xia Jie'er. She held Yun Wei's hand tightly, tilted her head up, and stared at her with her big eyes.

Yunwei chuckled and patted her head, "Our Xia-jie is beautiful too."

"No, no, no, Xia Jie'er is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Auntie." Xia Jie'er shook her head seriously.

"This little rascal talks way too maturely," Aman chuckled, amused by her tone.

Qi Shi then came to her senses and exclaimed sincerely, "Weiwei, you look absolutely stunning in your wedding dress."

"Thank you." Yunwei smiled and turned to look at herself in the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, the woman is wearing a bright red wedding dress, and she looks radiant and dazzling.

“The Regent will definitely be bewitched by you,” Xuan Yuanjing joked.

Upon hearing this, Xia clapped her hands and said, "Uncle is going to be bewitched by Auntie."

Yun Wei: "..." She rolled her eyes at Xuan Yuanjing, "Don't talk nonsense in front of children."

“Auntie, I’m not a child anymore, I know everything,” Xia Jie’er said with her hands behind her back and a serious expression.

Xuanyuan Jing laughed heartily and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on her face. "That's right, Xia-jie is smart and quick-witted, she knows everything."

Aman also laughed and said, "Sometimes you think children are too young to understand anything, but in fact, they know everything."

“Exactly.” Xia’er proudly puffed out her little chest and said earnestly, “Uncle is really lucky to have married Aunt.”

This made everyone in the room laugh at her old-fashioned manner.

"What a little rascal!"

Madam Xu was more concerned about whether the wedding dress fit properly. She took Yunwei's hand, looked her over, and asked, "How is it? Does it need any further alterations?"

Yunwei shook her head, "No need, it fits me perfectly."

Mrs. Xu nodded. "I think it's about the same."

After changing out of her wedding dress, Yunwei took a stroll in the garden with several people, and then had them stay for lunch at the mansion.

As the wedding date drew near, both the county princess's mansion and the regent's mansion were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

Two days before the wedding, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree, sending Yu Shu to the county princess's residence as a maid, ostensibly to serve Yun Wei.

But Yunwei knew that Empress Dowager Feng was not so kind, and given Yu Shu's feelings for Rong Zhen, the two of them were clearly up to no good.

Several other palace maids were also sent with them.

After the eunuch delivering the imperial decree finished reading it, Yu Shu and several other palace maids stepped forward to bow to Yun Wei.

"This servant greets the County Princess."

Yunwei remained seated in her chair, not calling out immediately.

Her expression was indifferent. She picked up the teacup on the table, took a slow sip, and made it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Yu Shu frowned slightly, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. This Yun family, they really have an air of superiority.

She was bestowed upon her by the Empress Dowager, yet she dared to treat her with disrespect.

Just as she was about to lose her composure, she finally heard Yunwei speak, "Miss Yu is actually willing to be a maid? That surprises me."

As soon as Yu Shu looked up, she met Yun Wei's clear, cold eyes.

She paused, then smiled bitterly, "The county princess knows my past. Now that I've returned to Wei, my status is awkward. I am very grateful to the Empress Dowager for her kindness in offering me a place to stay."

"As far as I know, the Regent has submitted a memorial on your behalf, and the court has already given you a generous reward. If those who are unaware of the situation hear you say this, wouldn't they misunderstand that the court is treating those who have made contributions poorly? Wouldn't that be disheartening?" Yun Wei's voice was now cold.

“Those material possessions can’t make up for what’s lost for a woman who has lost her virginity,” Yu Shu said sadly. “I only ask for a quiet place to spend the rest of my life.”

Yun Wei scoffed coldly.

That's a very high-sounding statement.

This woman is clearly after Rong Zhen.

Knowing he couldn't make a move on him, he took a roundabout approach and went to serve her.

When she marries Rong Zhen, she can then go to the Regent's Palace with him.

At that time, she will have more opportunities to get in touch with Rong Zhen.

That's quite a clever scheme.

They really are flexible and adaptable.

To achieve their goals, they were willing to become slaves or servants.

But Yu Shu thought she was a pushover, so easy to bully?

"The Empress Dowager seems to have acted without thinking. After all, you have rendered meritorious service to the court. How can we allow you to become a servant? If this gets out, won't it make people lose faith in the court? Guards, escort Miss Yu back to the palace!" Yun Wei said in a deep voice.

Yu Shu's expression changed. "Your Highness is overthinking it. It was my own choice to come and serve you, and others will surely understand. Besides, the Empress Dowager has already issued an imperial decree that I stay and serve at Your Highness's residence. If Your Highness sends me back, wouldn't that be disrespecting the Empress Dowager? If the Empress Dowager blames me, Your Highness... cannot bear the consequences."

“In that case, I will go to the Empress Dowager myself and explain.” Yun Wei glanced at her indifferently and stood up.

Yu Shu clenched her fingers tightly. "Princess, why bother the Empress Dowager with such a trivial matter?"

“How can this be a small matter? Miss Yu has rendered meritorious service to the court. If we were to make you our servant, that would be a much bigger deal. Let’s go!” Yunwei said, and went out the door first.

Yu Shu tried to struggle again, but the next moment, Haitang carried her away.
