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

Chapter 270 I Want to Give Her a Chance

The emperor went to great lengths to deal with Rong Zhen, and even amassed a fortune to train his troops, all in the hope that one day he could fight Rong Zhen.

She couldn't help Rong Zhen in any other way, but at least she had money.

She could provide him with warhorses, provisions, and medicine.

Rong Zhen felt a warmth in his heart after hearing what she said, and hugged her waist tightly.

What he didn't say was that he disliked war and would naturally not start a war for personal grudges, dragging the people into the flames of war.

However, he and Rong Xin will have to settle things sooner or later.

But he will minimize casualties.

Upon returning to the Regent's Palace, Rong Zhen went to his study to handle official business.

Yunwei returned to Qingxue Courtyard.

"Miss."

"princess."

Tian'er and Haitang came forward and bowed to Yunwei.

Yunwei nodded and went inside.

She had just finished washing her hands when Haitang brought her a cloth to wipe them.

Yunwei paused, glanced at her, and then took the cloth.

For some reason, Haitang felt uneasy.

Did the princess find out about her trying to pry open the princess's trunk yesterday when she went into the princess's room?

"Miss, have some tea." At this moment, Tian'er brought tea to Yunwei.

Yunwei took the drink, took a sip, and suddenly said, "By the way, Haitang, I went out yesterday and didn't have time to ask you. Was it Feng Huai who came to see you yesterday?"

"Yes." Haitang nodded.

"What does he want with you?" Yunwei looked at her with a probing gaze.

The crabapple tree remained silent.

Feng Huai sought her out, naturally for the so-called treasure map.

But she didn't know whether she should tell anyone...

If she were to reveal it, would Yunwei question her motives for coming to her side?

Yunwei naturally knew Feng Huai's purpose in seeking out Haitang.

She asked Haitang directly today because she wanted to give her a chance.

Seeing that Haitang remained silent, Yunwei did not urge her. After finishing her water, she took the hand warmer that Tian'er handed her and sat down on the couch.

Seeing that Haitang remained silent, Tian'er couldn't help but say, "The Princess Consort is asking you a question, why aren't you saying anything? If there's anything you need, you can just tell the Princess Consort, and she will take care of it for you."

"I..." Haitang clenched her fingertips, clearly hesitant.

"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Tian'er was so anxious about her. "Feng Huai has already given you to the Princess, which means he doesn't take you seriously. You're not still thinking about him, are you? You need to understand that the Princess is your master now, and the person you should serve is the Princess. Don't put the cart before the horse."

Upon hearing this, Haitang pursed her lips and suddenly knelt down in front of Yunwei. "Your Highness, Haitang is sorry for you. I hope you... will let Haitang leave this place."

Yunwei was taken aback.

Tian'er was also extremely shocked. After realizing what had happened, she said anxiously, "Haitang, did something I said make you uncomfortable? But I didn't mean any harm. I really meant well. Please don't be angry with me..."

“I’m not angry with you,” Haitang interrupted her. “I know you said those things because you meant well, but I’m not worthy to serve the Princess.” After saying that, she kowtowed to Yunwei. “Please, Princess, grant Haitang’s request and let her leave.”

Seeing her resolute appearance, Tian'er immediately turned her head and looked helplessly at Yunwei. "Miss, Haitang, she..." Yunwei did not speak, but got up and helped Haitang up. Looking into Haitang's eyes, she said, "If you are determined to leave, I will not force you to stay. However, if you want to leave, you must give me a reason why you have to leave."

"I am not worthy to serve you." Haitang lowered her head.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei shook her head. "Your reason is too far-fetched and doesn't convince me. Can I understand that you want to leave because you were threatened by Feng Huai? If it's related to Feng Huai, then I can talk to him on his behalf."

"No," Haitang quickly denied.

"Hmm?" Yunwei looked at her scrutinizingly.

Haitang felt a little flustered, afraid that she would see through her, so she could only put on a cold look and say, "I didn't sign a contract of servitude with you. I can leave whenever I want. Why do you care so much?"

Tian'er stared at her with wide eyes, "How could you speak to the Princess like that?"

Haitang felt guilty, but since things had come to this point, she had no other way out.

She wanted to leave because she didn't want to be used and coerced by Feng Huai anymore, and in three months, the Biluo within her body would take effect.

She didn't want Yunwei and Tian'er to see her in such a terrible state, so she planned to leave the capital and find a deserted place to quietly wait for her death.

Thinking of this, she said firmly, "Even if the princess doesn't agree, I can leave whenever I want. You can't stop me so easily."

Seeing her like this, Tian'er's eyes welled up with tears. "Haitang, how could you be so heartless?"

Although they had only known each other for two months, she already regarded Haitang as her younger sister.

But Haitang didn't care about them at all.

"Don't you know? I am an assassin, and assassins have no heart," Haitang said coldly.

Yunwei looked at her scrutinizingly.

She knew that Haitang was saying things against her will.

What she didn't understand was that if she just didn't want to steal the treasure map for Feng Huai, then she didn't need to break ties with her and leave this place.

"Haitang, have you run into some trouble?" Yunwei asked gently.

Haitang paused for a moment.

She hadn't expected that even after she had spoken so resolutely, Yunwei would still care about her.

Her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Afraid of being noticed by Yunwei, she turned her head and said in a stiff tone, "No, I'm just tired of this place and don't want to do this job of serving people anymore."

Yunwei sighed, "It's a waste of your time to have you serve me. I know you want to be a guard, and I was planning to talk to the prince about having you and Qingfeng patrol the palace together."

Haitang was stunned.

She didn't actually feel wronged while serving Yunwei.

Because Yunwei never deliberately makes things difficult for servants, nor does she put on airs like a princess, once you get to know her, Yunwei is actually very easy to serve.

She and Tian'er said they were serving the princess, but the princess took good care of them and treated them like family.

After coming to Yunwei's side, she experienced a lot of warmth.

If she could, she wouldn't want to leave. She would gladly serve and protect Yunwei for the rest of her life...

"Haitang, the Princess values ​​you highly, so don't leave. Look, you wanted to be a guard, and the Princess made you one. Where else can you find such a good mistress? Listen to me, stay." Tian'er held her hand and persuaded her with a smile.

"I..." Haitang's throat tightened, and it took her a long time to calm down. She didn't dare to look Yunwei and Tian'er in the eye, and lowered her head to say, "My mind is made up, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Sweetie said angrily, "How could you..."

"Let her go," Yunwei interrupted her.
