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

Chapter 239 Enjoyment
Rong Zhen frowned. "Why would Second Brother think that? I didn't do anything."

The Prince of Jin looked at him suspiciously, "Really not you?"

"Of course not," Rong Zhen said righteously.

The King of Jin, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, couldn't help but feel suspicious.

If it wasn't Rong Zhen who did it, then who could it be?

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Yun Wei, and he immediately had a flash of inspiration.

If it wasn't Rong Zhen who did it, then it must have been Yun Wei.

After all, they were the only two people in the hall who knew martial arts.

But he didn't say anything.

He had long disliked Empress Dowager Feng.

After today's disarray, things should calm down for a while.

"I'll have lunch prepared. You can stay here for lunch and then go back," the Empress Dowager said.

Rong Zhen considered that Yun Wei hadn't slept much last night and was still a bit tired when she arrived, so he politely declined, saying, "Your subject has some matters to attend to first. Let's do it another day. If your second brother and sister-in-law are free, they can stay and have dinner with Mother."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager did not insist, but when the Prince of Jin and his wife also wanted to leave the palace, she said first, "Second Prince and his wife, please stay and have dinner with me."

"Yes," the Prince of Jin and his wife had no choice but to agree.

The carriage that Rong Zhen and Yun Wei were riding in stopped outside Shou Kang Palace.

As soon as the two came out, they got into the carriage.

The carriage left the palace without any obstruction.

Yunwei was indeed tired.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he became drowsy.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen let her rest her head on his lap.

Yunwei felt that getting married was a very tiring thing, even more tiring than practicing martial arts all day.

Before long, she fell asleep with her head on Rong Zhen's lap.

When she woke up, the carriage had already stopped outside a villa.

She pushed open the window and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, somewhat bewildered. "Where am I?"

“A separate courtyard,” Rong Zhen replied, then took her hand and led her down from the carriage.

"Aren't we going back to the Prince's Mansion?" Yunwei asked in surprise as she stood outside the villa.

I hadn't heard Rong Zhen mention coming to the villa before.

“I’m not going back today,” Rong Zhen said. “There’s a hot spring in this villa. Aren’t you still aching? Soaking in it might help.”

Upon hearing about the hot springs, Yunwei's almond-shaped eyes lit up.

Soaking in a hot spring in this weather would be so relaxing.

She stopped worrying about Rong Zhen's impulsive decision.

However, just as the two were about to enter the courtyard, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Is it really you?"

Before the two could turn around, the newcomer had already walked up to them excitedly.

It was Pei Qing.

"How did you end up here?" Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes.

“Have you forgotten? My family also has a villa around here. I came here with my mother to relax today, but I found the villa too stuffy, so I came out for a walk by myself. I didn’t expect to run into you here. What a coincidence.” Pei Qing seemed oblivious to the other party’s unfriendly attitude and greeted Yun Wei with a smile, “Sister-in-law.”

“Lord Pei.” Yun Wei nodded.

“By the way, I remember there’s a hot spring in your villa. Since we’ve run into each other, let’s go soak in the hot spring together. You don’t know how exhausted I was these past few months in Xizhou. Soaking in the hot spring will be just the right way to relieve my fatigue.” Pei Qing said, and then walked towards the gate of the villa.

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed, and he said in a deep voice, "The hot spring has dried up."

Pei Qing stopped and turned back to look at him suspiciously. "The hot spring can dry up? Didn't you have it brought here?" "The spring has dried up, so we can't bring in any more water," Rong Zhen said, frowning.

Yunwei glanced at him.

That's not what he said just now.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing looked disappointed. "How did the spring dry up? What are your men doing? They can't even handle this simple task."

Qingfeng, Sang Qing, and the steward of the villa: "..."

"If we can't soak in the hot springs, then we won't. We haven't played chess together in a long time, and since we're both free today, let's play a couple of games," Pei Qing said as a compromise.

Rong Zhen's handsome face darkened. How could this guy be so clueless?
Can't he see that he doesn't welcome him at all?
“We can play chess another day. I have some urgent military business to attend to. Could you make a trip to Tongzhou for me?” Rong Zhen said.

"No." Pei Qing refused decisively. "I've only been back from Xizhou for a few days, and you're already assigning me another mission?"

“If I hadn’t just gotten married, I wouldn’t have needed to send you on this mission, but right now, you happen to be free,” Rong Zhen said.

“You can send Qingfeng and the others,” Pei Qing still refused.

“Qingfeng and the others can’t handle this; only you can get it done,” Rong Zhen said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing smiled and said, "Since you have such good taste, it's not impossible for me to make the trip."

Rong Zhen said, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and write a letter and give it to you."

“Okay.” Pei Qing readily agreed.

Rong Zhen quickly went inside, wrote the letter, handed it to Pei Qing, and instructed, "Give this letter to Yuan Hu, the garrison commander of Tongzhou."

Pei Qing, unsuspecting, took the letter, mounted his horse, and rode away, thus missing the intriguing expression on the Regent's face.

After dismissing Pei Qing, Rong Zhen turned and entered the villa, ordering someone to lock the door and prevent anyone from entering.

While Rong Zhen was dismissing Pei Qing, Yun Wei had already entered the villa with the help of the servants.

The villa was very large. As Yunwei walked towards the main courtyard, her already sore legs hurt even more. However, when she saw the hot spring, her fatigue lessened considerably.

Looking at the steaming hot spring pool, Yunwei raised an eyebrow.

Therefore, Rong Zhen's statement that the spring had dried up and there was no hot spring was simply a lie to deceive Pei Qing.

Thinking that Pei Qing not only failed to enjoy the hot springs but was also sent to Tongzhou by Rong Zhen, I felt a pang of sympathy.

After dismissing the servants, Yunwei undressed and entered the hot spring pool barefoot.

The warm water soaked her body, and she let out a comfortable sigh.

Her Qixia Horse Ranch also has hot springs.

She goes to soak every now and then.

Soaking in a hot spring is truly a very enjoyable experience.

She scooped up some water and splashed it on her face, feeling completely refreshed.

Crystal-clear water droplets slid down her flawless white skin and fell back into the pool.

When Rong Zhen arrived, he saw that Yun Wei had fallen asleep by the pool.

The lighting in the hot spring pool was somewhat dim, but that did not prevent Rong Zhen from seeing the scene in the pool at a glance.

The woman's back was fair and delicate, with beautiful and symmetrical lines, and a slender waist.

Unbeknownst to him, Rong Zhen's eyes had darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

He stood by the pool for a moment before taking off his robe and getting into the pool.

Yunwei was half asleep when she vaguely heard the sound of water behind her.

She barely opened her eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that it was Rong Zhen, she felt relieved and went back to sleep.

Rong Zhen stopped behind her, his slender fingers brushing the wet hair clinging to her face aside. His warm lips brushed against her earlobe, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Want to soak some more? Or do you want to go back to your room and sleep for a while?"
