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

Chapter 257 He was still in her bed a moment ago.

The private room next door.

When Rong Zhen pushed open the door, he saw the "maid" sitting on a soft cushion on the floor in front of the table, her arms crossed, looking at him leisurely.

“Prince Jin? How come I don’t know? Does Prince Jin look like you?” The maid asked with a half-smile.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and said gently, "Didn't you go to rest?"

"If they rest, how can they see the Regent Prince in this brothel, surrounded by women?" the maid sneered.

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed. "That's not true. Don't talk nonsense. I'm here on important business."

"What important business do you need to discuss in a brothel?" the maid scoffed.

Rong Zhen raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "It really is something important, and as you saw, I didn't even glance at those girls."

"You may not have given them a second glance, but who knows what you're really thinking? Maybe you're just pretending to be virtuous?" the maid said bluntly.

Rong Zhen: "..."

If anyone were to witness the Regent being rendered speechless by a mere maid, they would surely be astonished.

Seeing that he was speechless, the maid sneered, "What, did I guess right?"

Looking at the aggressive woman, Rong Zhen paused, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "I haven't asked you yet. Didn't you say you were going to stay at the county princess's mansion tonight? How come you turned around and came to this Yihong Courtyard?"
What brings you here?

The "maid" was none other than Yunwei.

Faced with the man's question, Yun Wei choked for a moment, lowered her hand, and her momentum instantly weakened. "I ate too much tonight, so I came out to digest. Is that not allowed?"

As they spoke, Rong Zhen walked over to her and sat down, scrutinizing her with his phoenix eyes. "Where couldn't you have gone to digest your food? Why did you have to come to this brothel?"

“I didn’t plan to come here. I was just walking around when I came across the entrance of the Yihong Courtyard. Then I happened to see you and thought you were here to solicit prostitutes, so I followed you in.” Yun Wei said, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing. “It’s a good thing I followed you in. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known that the Regent had such refined tastes. He had just left my county princess’s residence and then rushed here without delay.”

Rong Zhenjun's face darkened. "I already said I'm not here to play around. I really have important business to attend to."

"That's hard to say. After all, this isn't the first time I've met you here. The Regent seems to be a regular here," Yun Wei sneered.

Rong Zhen said helplessly, "You don't trust me at all?"

Yunwei paused for a moment.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Rong Zhen.

But seeing him frequenting brothels with beautiful women by his side made her feel uneasy.

And most importantly, he was still in her bed before he came here, without revealing a single thing to her.

It's him who doesn't believe her!
Seeing that she remained silent, Rong Zhen said helplessly, "Don't be angry, I won't come to a place like this again next time."

Yunwei could tell that he had important business to attend to tonight, otherwise he wouldn't have impersonated Rong Xue.

Hearing him say that, she couldn't help but say, "Actually... it's not that you can't come."

"Huh?" Rong Zhen thought he had misheard.

Wasn't she worried about him coming to places like this? How come he's here again all of a sudden?

“Not all the customers who come here are here for that kind of thing. Many of them come to drink, listen to music, and discuss business. But next time, could you tell me instead of secretly doing it behind my back?” Yunwei’s tone softened a bit.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen finally understood why she was angry. He apologized, "It was my oversight. I should have told you before coming here."

"That's right. You're my husband. You should tell me where you go and what you do." Yunwei said this somewhat awkwardly.

But Rong Zhen was pleased by her words, "You are my husband."

His chest felt a little swollen, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

"Yes, it was my fault. I shouldn't have come here without telling you. There won't be a next time," Rong Zhen said, putting his arm around her shoulder.

Yunwei was very satisfied with his attitude.

This man is someone who listens to what she says.

"However, I didn't intentionally hide it from you. I didn't plan to come here when I was at the county princess's mansion last night. I only decided to come after I returned to the prince's mansion."

"I didn't expect to run into you the moment I stepped inside." Rong Zhen's tone was somewhat helpless.

"So you absolutely mustn't do anything bad behind my back in the future, otherwise you won't be able to fool me," Yunwei warned.

Rong Zhen paused, raised her eyes and looked around the private room, as well as the maid's clothes she was wearing.

"Do you have any connection with the owner of this brothel?"

Yun Wei's eyes flickered. "We have no connection."

“Without any connection, how could you so easily disguise yourself as a maid and sneak into my private room for entertaining guests? Besides, as far as I know, the private rooms in this Yihong Courtyard need to be booked in advance. Since you decided to come in at the last minute, how were you able to book this private room so quickly?” Rong Zhen said unhurriedly, but his gaze was fixed on her.

"With enough money, there's nothing that can't be done. If there is, it's because not enough money has been given," Yun Wei said dismissively.

Rong Zhen paused, his slender fingers stroking her fair chin. "So, the Regent's Consort owns many properties unknown to others? What else are you hiding from me?"

Yunwei was rendered speechless by his keen insight.

"This brothel...is mine." After a long pause, she stammered.

Rong Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "So it turns out you're the mastermind behind this brothel, Yi Hong Courtyard. My apologies."

"You don't mind?" Yunwei asked, somewhat surprised.

"What do you mind?"

“A brothel is never a refined place,” Yunwei said.

"Were the girls in this building obtained through shady means?" Rong Zhen asked.

“Of course not.” Yunwei immediately shook her head. “The girls here are all here voluntarily. Our Yihong Courtyard never forces any girl. Many of them come here because they have no other choice, not because we forcibly take them. Although I am just a hands-off manager, Liu Mama reports everything she does to me.”

“Since we haven’t done anything immoral, then it’s a legitimate business. Why should I care? As long as I have a clear conscience, that’s all that matters,” Rong Zhen said.

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

Rong Zhen's lips curled up slightly as he reached out and touched the twin buns on her head. He had never seen her dressed like this before, and he thought she looked charming and cute, which was not at all out of place. On the contrary, she looked a little naive, like a little girl.

He couldn't resist lowering his head and kissing the corner of her lips. "You go back first in a bit."

Yunwei wrapped her arms around his neck, her breath sweet as orchids against his lips, "Why did you meet those people tonight using Rong Xue's identity?"
