Chapter 254 Forced
Seeing that her voice had attracted passersby, she deliberately wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and cried out pitifully, "If I didn't have a way, I wouldn't have come to the Regent's wife for help. I've always heard that the Regent's wife is skilled and kind-hearted, and she would never leave someone to die. Last time, you even gave free medical treatment to the people, and they still remember your kindness."

Please, Your Highness, do not despise me for being such a frail woman. I beg you to treat me, otherwise... otherwise I truly will not survive..."

At this point, Ah Zheng had seen her face clearly, and seeing her say such morally blackmailing things, his expression turned very ugly.

He whispered into the carriage, "Master, it's Chen Yuniang. She blocked the carriage and attracted the attention of passersby."

Yunwei recognized Chen Yuniang's voice.

She was so angry at Chen Yuniang's behavior that she almost laughed.

Has Chen Yuniang lost all sense of shame?
However, this shows that her gynecological disease not only did not get better, but actually worsened.

But is Chen Yuniang seeking medical treatment?
She's clearly forcing me!

Now everyone knows she is skilled in medicine. If she stands idly by, people will think she has no medical ethics.

As a doctor, it wasn't wrong for her to examine Chen Yuniang, but she really disliked her coming to her door to threaten her.

How could she be threatened by her?
She slowly lifted a crack in the curtain, coughing as she spoke, "Isn't this the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, the young lady of the Duke of Chen's mansion... cough cough, weren't you still lively and energetic when you were distributing porridge and clothes last time? How come you're so sick now... cough cough cough cough..."

A series of coughs drew the attention of the people.

"It seems the Regent's wife is ill as well?"

"So that woman is the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an? The joke she made last time by distributing porridge and clothes is still being talked about. How can she show her face like that?"

"Exactly, she's supposed to be the Lady of Jing'an? Who else would treat a patient like that? She acts like a shrew."

“That’s not right. I remember that the man the Regent’s wife married before was the Earl of Jing’an. I heard that this Lady of Jing’an was originally a concubine who squeezed out the Regent’s wife to take her place.”

"Wow, this woman is really shameless! How could she have the nerve to let the Regent's wife treat her? How utterly shameless!"

When Yunwei coughed and spoke, revealing her identity, Chen Yuniang knew things were about to go wrong.

Upon hearing what the people around him were saying, his expression instantly turned grim.

She had originally intended to use the large number of people on the street to put pressure on Yunwei, forcing her to treat her.

But things didn't go as she had imagined.

Faced with the pointing and nodding of the people, Chen Yuniang no longer cared about forcing Yunwei to treat her; she only wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

"Since, since the Regent's wife is also unwell, then I, I won't bother you any longer." Chen Yuniang said through gritted teeth, then quickly ran away with her maid.

“He runs so nimbly, I don’t think he’s sick at all!” some people questioned.

"I think she came here specifically to make things difficult for the Regent's wife!"

"Who is this person? She's too arrogant! The Regent's Consort should punish her!"

"Pah, how shameless!" A commoner spat in the direction Chen Yuniang left.

Ah Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yuniang had given up.

It seems the master is quite shrewd; with just a few words, he made Chen Yuniang the target of everyone's ire.

Yunwei coughed twice and said to the people, "It's getting cold, everyone should go home."

Seeing how kind and approachable she was, the people said to her, "Please take care of yourself, Princess Regent."

Yunwei nodded with a smile.

Amid the concerned voices of the people, A-Zheng drove the carriage slowly into Zhuque Street.

Before long, the carriage arrived at the Regent's Palace.

After getting off the carriage, Yunwei originally intended to enter the Regent's Palace, but upon seeing the County Princess's Palace next door, she hesitated for a moment and then turned around and entered the County Princess's Palace instead.

Although her marriage to Rong Zhen was not long ago, she never returned to the county princess's mansion after getting married, even though the two mansions were so close to each other.

When Uncle Chen saw her return, he said with delight, "Master is back?"

Yunwei nodded, "Yes, I came back to take a look." "Then tonight, will Master dine here? This old servant will have someone prepare." Uncle Chen asked again.

Yunwei originally wanted to say that it was for use back at the Regent's Palace, but when she met the old man's expectant gaze, she could only nod and say, "Yes, just have someone get a pot."

"This old servant will arrange it immediately," Uncle Chen said hastily.

After the mistress got married, the huge county princess's mansion seemed to become empty and desolate.

Although his master lived in the Regent's Palace next door, Uncle Chen didn't have anything to do, so he couldn't keep going over there.

So this is the first time he has seen his mistress since she got married.

Uncle Chen was very happy.

Yunwei returned to the courtyard where she used to live.

After she married into the Regent's Palace, Tian'er and Haitang both went with her.

Only some elderly people remained in the courtyard.

Upon seeing her enter, several maids hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Regent's Consort."

Yunwei nodded and then went straight into the house.

The house was still clean and tidy.

She came in to take a look, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep after sitting on the soft couch for a while.

She only woke up when Uncle Chen called her to have dinner when it was already dark.

She had just sat up when she sneezed, and her nose was itchy.

She then realized that her body was ice-cold; she must have caught a chill because she hadn't covered herself with a blanket while she was asleep.

However, this was not a big problem. She was in good health and rarely got sick, so she didn't take it to heart.

She quickly washed her face to clear her head before sitting down at the table.

On the table, the pot that Uncle Chen had prepared was boiling, and various ingredients were laid out on the table.

Looking at the bubbling, rich, white broth in the pot, she couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite. She eagerly picked up some slices of mutton from the plate and put them into the boiling broth.

Just as she was about to put the food in her mouth after it was cooked, she saw Rong Zhen walk in through the door.

She blinked. "Why are you here?"

"I couldn't find you anywhere in the mansion, so I figured you must have gone back here. I came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to actually be here..." Rong Zhen paused, glancing at the pot in front of her, "Eating alone."

Yunwei paused for a moment. “What do you mean, eating alone? I didn’t plan to eat here. Uncle Chen prepared this for me because he saw that I hadn’t been back for a long time. I can’t just say I don’t want to eat, can I? Besides, I didn’t know if you were in the manor, so I didn’t have anyone call you.”

"I was just joking with you." Rong Zhen walked slowly up to her, patted her head, and then suddenly lowered his head and took the mutton from her chopsticks.

"It tastes good," the Regent commented.

Yun Wei: "..."

She had reason to suspect that what he said earlier was a deliberate attempt to distract her and steal her mutton.

The servants quickly provided Rong Zhen with a bowl and chopsticks.

Rong Zhen sat down next to Yun Wei and used chopsticks to reheat the mutton for her.

As he placed it in her bowl, he suddenly said, "If I hadn't come looking for you, were you planning to stay here tonight?"

"No," Yun Wei denied, even though that was what she really thought.

"Really?" Rong Zhen's narrow phoenix eyes scrutinized her.

"Of course it's true." Yunwei calmly looked back at him.

"That's good." Rong Zhen withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly.
