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

Chapter 269 Thinking Rong Zhen was a gigolo
Yun Wei's gaze was so direct that Rong Zhen couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

His handsome face flushed slightly. He turned to the side and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you're alright, you should rest well. I'll go soak for a while longer."

Yunwei took his hand and said softly, "Come up first."

Rong Zhen looked down and hesitated.

"Hurry up!" Yunwei urged.

Rong Zhen had no choice but to turn his back to her and sit down on the edge of the bed.

Yunwei looked at his smooth back and slowly hugged him from behind.

……

As night fell, Madam Lin brought Ling Xiuer to deliver dinner to Yun Wei and Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen sat in a chair drinking tea, looking refreshed, while Yun Wei lay on the bed, looking somewhat tired.

"Is the master feeling unwell?" Madam Lin put down what she was holding and asked with concern.

Yunwei nodded. "Make me a cup of brown sugar water."

Upon hearing this, Lin understood that her master had something to tell her.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go prepare right away."

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

Actually, her periods are fairly regular. Each time she gets her period, apart from a feeling of heaviness or bloating in her lower abdomen and soreness in her lower back, everything else is fine.

Moreover, Ling Shuang Pavilion provides menstrual belts, which she had just put on.

She is tired now, mainly because she exerted herself just now and her arms feel very sore.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the man sitting in the chair.

Rong Zhen noticed her gaze, paused, and asked gently, "Would you like some tea?"

Yun Wei shook her head, "I won't drink."

Mrs. Lin quickly brought her some brown sugar water.

"Give it to me," Rong Zhen said, putting down the cup and standing up.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled and handed him the brown sugar water.

Rong Zhen carried the brown sugar water to the bedside, sat down, helped Yun Wei sit up, let her lean against him, and then used a spoon to feed her the brown sugar water spoonful by spoonful.

Lin and Ling Xiuer watched from the side, their mouths agape.

It seems the husband the boss found this time is very good to her.

Seeing that the two were still in the room, Yunwei felt a little embarrassed. She pushed Rong Zhen's hand away and said, "I can do it myself." Then she took the bowl from his hand and drank the rest of the brown sugar water in one gulp.

"Then you may have your meal. Xiu'er and I will take our leave now," Madam Lin said tactfully.

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

After the mother and daughter left, Rong Zhen helped Yun Wei off the bed. "Let's eat first, or the food will get cold."

"Ah."

Seeing the roasted venison on the table, Yun Wei coughed lightly and placed a plate of vegetables in front of Rong Zhen. "It's late at night, it's not good to eat too much venison. It's better to eat something light at night."

Rong Zhen glanced at her, lifted the hem of her robe, and sat down in the chair. "Is that so? Then why did you want them to slaughter a sheep this afternoon so you could roast mutton for dinner? Mutton isn't exactly light."

Yun Wei choked for a moment, then slowly said, "I didn't know I would come here today... for my period."

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then finally understood what she meant.

His handsome face flushed slightly. "I understand."

Seeing that he was really only eating vegetable leaves, Yunwei felt a little sorry for him, so she coughed lightly and reminded him, "You can drink this old duck soup... it's good for cooling down."

Her voice trailed off when she said the last three words.

Rong Zhen paused in his chopsticks, a vein throbbing on his temple. "To cool down?" Yun Wei forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Don't you know your own situation?"

Her arms were still sore from what she had just done for him.

She regretted offering to help him.

She was afraid that if she came again at night, her arm would be ruined.

Upon hearing this, even Rong Zhen, who was not very perceptive, understood what she meant.

He was somewhat amused and suddenly said, "Besides using your hands, there are other methods, but in any case, it won't tire you out."

Yun Wei: "..."

"Eat up, have some more." Rong Zhen picked up a piece of venison for her.

Rong Zhen was just saying it casually. Considering that she was menstruating, he didn't bother her when she went to bed that night.

The couple stayed overnight at Qixia Horse Ranch.

The next morning, Manager Ling brought the account books to see Yunwei.

"...This is the racecourse's ledger from last month. Please take a look, sir."

Yunwei had always trusted Lingchang to handle things. She casually flipped through the pages and was about to put them down when she was suddenly drawn to the accounts on the last page.

"How could this person buy two hundred horses all at once?" Yun Wei asked, pointing to the account book.

Owner Ling took the horse, glanced at it, and then smiled and said, "This customer is from the south. He's a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) and he thinks our horse farm has good horses, so he bought two hundred at once. Some will be used by his own镖局 (bodyguard/escort agency), and some will be taken south to sell."

In fact, many of the old clients at the horse farm would buy hundreds of horses at a time, which was not unusual. However, Yunwei knew all of those old clients, so it was only when a new customer added to the ledger bought two hundred horses that Yunwei noticed.

"Did this guest find this place through a referral or on his own?" Yunwei asked another question.

"According to that guest, he found his way here on his own," Master Ling replied.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei instructed, "Since that person thinks our horses are good, he will definitely come back to buy more. Keep an eye out for him then, or let me know."

"I understand." Master Ling nodded.

"Furthermore, if my husband needs horses in the future, our horse farm must provide them to him unconditionally," Yunwei added.

Not only was Master Ling taken aback, but Rong Zhen also looked at Yun Wei with surprise and said gently, "There's no need for that. Whatever the price is, that's the price."

Yunwei said, "Actually, I'm not giving it to you for nothing. If things go well in the future and the court needs warhorses, they will have to buy them from my horse farm."

Lingchang was completely confused.

Does the husband of the woman in the east have a voice in the imperial court?
To put it bluntly, he thought his employer's husband was a gigolo... a kept man.

Owner Ling quickly dismissed the idea.

It now seems that the husband of the woman in question is no ordinary person.

That makes sense. The husband of the lady of the house has an extraordinary bearing, and every gesture he makes exudes nobility. It seems that he really has a voice in the court.

If their Qixia Horse Ranch could truly cooperate with the imperial court and provide it with warhorses on a long-term basis, wouldn't that be...?

Ling Changzhu's breath hitched, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Rong Zhen with hope.

Rong Zhen nodded. "That's natural."

“That’s fine then.” Yun Wei’s almond-shaped eyes curved slightly as she said to Master Ling, “Starting today, our horse farm can raise more warhorses.”

Owner Ling's spirits lifted, and he patted his chest, agreeing, "Don't worry, boss. The horses in our horse farm are carefully selected. Every single one is very tall and not much different from warhorses. With careful breeding, they will definitely grow into strong and robust horses."

“Okay, then you and A-Jian will have to work a little harder during this time,” Yunwei said.

Having settled the matter, Yunwei did not linger and returned to the capital with Rongzhen.

On their return journey, the couple still rode together on one horse.

"So you brought me to Qixia Horse Ranch this time just so that Owner Ling would recognize me and give me a horse?" Rong Zhen asked gently, holding the reins with one hand and supporting Yun Wei's waist with the other.

Yunwei leaned against his chest, playing with his long, slender fingers resting on her waist. "I said I would support you."
