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

Chapter 242 Crazy
"Who are you?" Yunwei turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"I am Xiangling." Xu Xiangling quickly stepped forward.

Yunwei looked at Tian'er questioningly.

"She is your third uncle's daughter, Miss Xu San," Tian'er explained to her.

Xu Xiangling didn't believe that Yunwei didn't remember her. In her opinion, it must be because her cousin had become the regent's wife and was putting on airs.

She scoffed inwardly.

What's so great about it?
A wild child who grew up in the countryside has only achieved his current success because he had more opportunities than others.

She was inwardly disdainful, but outwardly she put on a wronged look, "Cousin, you don't even remember me? I'm so heartbroken."

After Tian'er's reminder, Yunwei had a vague impression of the girl in front of her, but she didn't think that the girl had come to reminisce or had some other purpose, so she went straight to the point and said, "We're not familiar with each other, so it's normal that I don't remember you. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xu Xiangling was taken aback by her directness and said reproachfully, "What could I possibly want? I haven't seen my cousin in a long time, so I wanted to come and talk to her." Before Yun Wei could say anything, she had already affectionately taken Yun Wei's arm.

Yun Wei frowned slightly and pulled her arm away without ceremony. "Sorry, I'm not used to being so intimate with people."

Xu Xiangling felt a little embarrassed, but quickly put on an understanding look, "I understand, I understand. After all, you are now the Regent's Consort. Your status is noble. We relatives are not worthy of your position."

Yun Wei's expression darkened. "That's not what I meant."

Xu Xiangling secretly pursed her lips, but smiled and said, "I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Yun Wei said calmly, "The banquet is about to begin, let's go."

Xu Xiangling took two steps back. "Cousin, please go first."

She suddenly became so respectful, and Yunwei knew she was faking it, but she ignored her.

Because there were many people, men and women sat separately at the banquet, but only a few screens separated them in the middle of the banquet hall.

As soon as Yunwei arrived, the women invited her to sit in the seat of honor.

"Xiangling, where have you been?" Xu's third aunt asked, pulling her daughter who had just entered.

"I'm going to keep my cousin company and help her relax," Xu Xiangling said, her eyes flashing.

Upon hearing this, the women nearby assumed that she had a good relationship with Yunwei, and they all crowded around to ask her what she had said to Yunwei.

Xu Xiangling chuckled, "Naturally, it's some private stuff. I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going to keep my cousin company." With that, she pushed past the women surrounding her and sat down next to Yun Wei.

Qi wanted to sit with Yunwei so they could talk, but as soon as she got closer, she saw that the seat next to Yunwei had been taken by Xu Xiangling, and Xu and Xia Jie'er were sitting on Yunwei's other side.

Yunwei was very displeased with Xu Xiangling's behavior.

Seeing Qi Shi approach, he said to Haitang, "Add another chair next to me."

Haitang immediately brought over a chair.

Xu Xiangling sat steadily in her seat, and seeing the women looking at her with envy, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Although Yunwei is quite annoying, her identity is useful.

Anyone who gets associated with her will have to think more highly of her, which will be very beneficial for her when she finds a husband in the future.

She was mentally calculating how to use Yunwei's status and position to her advantage when suddenly, she and her chair were moved aside, and a chair was placed between her and Yunwei.

Before she could react to what was happening, she saw Tian'er help Qi Shi sit down on the chair.

“Your Highness, the Princess Consort has asked you to sit next to her so that it will be easier for you to talk,” Tian’er said.

Xu Xiangling's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she didn't show it, still smiling broadly, "Sister-in-law, your belly is so big, you must be about to give birth, right?"

Madam Qi glanced at her but didn't answer. Instead, as if she had just noticed her, she smiled and said, "Xiangling, what are you doing at this table? I saw you from afar and thought you were a newlywed bride."

Xu Xiangling's expression changed slightly. Sure enough, she noticed that the way the others were looking at her carried a strange glint in their eyes. They thought she was a newlywed bride, which implied that she looked like a married woman.
"I think Xiangling is looking for a husband?" a woman joked.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Xiangling lost face instantly after being spoken to like that. She stood up sullenly and said, "I just wanted to talk to my cousin. I'll go to another table after I'm done." With that, she quickly left and went to the table where the unmarried girls were sitting.

After she left, Yunwei's complexion improved, and she began talking to Madam Qi.

"Xiangling is a scheming girl. If she tries to get close to you next time, just ignore her," Madam Qi whispered.

Yun Wei nodded. "Okay."

Xu Xiangling was very unhappy and unwilling.

Watching Yunwei being flattered by the women from afar, she felt extremely jealous.

Why wasn't she so lucky to marry someone like the Regent?
How wonderful it would be if she were the Regent's wife?

As she was thinking this, an idea suddenly came to her. She bit her lip and went out the door.

However, she was unsure whether Rong Zhen would come out halfway through.

But opportunities are earned through your own efforts. How will you know if you have a chance if you don't try?

She lingered in the corridor, her gaze constantly glancing towards the banquet hall.

She was lucky; not long after, she saw Rong Zhen come out of the banquet hall.

Rong Zhen came out for some fresh air.

The elders of the Yun family took turns toasting him, and he couldn't refuse, having already drunk one round.

He didn't want to drink anymore, so he made an excuse to leave.

He took a few steps into the garden when suddenly, he heard a strange noise behind him.

Turning his head, he saw a woman, soaking wet, stumbling and rushing towards him.

"It's cold, so cold... Please help me..."

Rong Zhen frowned and quickly looked around.

Everyone is currently in the banquet hall; there is no one in the garden.

The melons and plums under the fields are just a source of criticism.

Just as she was about to fall into the man's arms, Xu Xiangling's ambition suddenly surged.

There was no one around, and the man and woman were alone. She was also wet. If someone saw her soon, the regent would surely have to take her as his concubine.

Given her family background, she would have been either a concubine or a high-ranking concubine.

She preferred to be a concubine to an ordinary man rather than a wife.

The Regent's woman—it sounds glamorous.

She believed she was no less intelligent than Yun Wei, and that with proper maneuvering, replacing her was not impossible.

Thinking of this, a madness flashed in her eyes.

"Guards! There's an assassin!" Just then, a man's authoritative and intimidating voice rang out.

Xu Xiangling was taken aback, "I'm not a thorn..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was kicked away.

"Gudong!"

Xu Xiangling fell straight into the pool next to her.
