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

What good can come of Chapter 29?
Chen Yuniang trembled with anger, but she suppressed her rage, picked up the teacup, and handed it to Yunwei.

Yunwei watched with amusement as her face turned pale, and did not take it immediately. Only when she saw that her arms were trembling and she was about to lose her grip did she slowly and deliberately take it.

"Aunt Chen's health is really too weak. It was only for a short while that you lifted it up, and your arm started shaking so badly. If I hadn't taken it from you in time, the tea in this cup would have spilled all over me. Sigh!" She sighed as she finished speaking.

Chen Yuniang lowered her aching and trembling arm, and upon hearing these words, she almost ground her teeth to powder.

It was clearly Yun who deliberately refused to take the teacup, making her hold it for so long, and then made sarcastic remarks.

Her sharp nails dug deep into her flesh.

She will repay the Yun family tenfold for the humiliation she suffered today.

Thinking it over, she forced a smile and said, "Sister, you misunderstand. Even if I spilled the tea on myself, I wouldn't dare spill it on you... Ah!"

Her unfinished words were replaced by a scream.

Chen Yuniang jumped up in shock, staring at Yunwei in disbelief at her soaked clothes.

Yun Wei blinked, looking at her innocently, "I didn't hold it steady for a moment, did I burn you?"

Chen Yuniang was so angry that she couldn't speak.

What do you mean by not holding it steady? She clearly did it on purpose.

The other three concubines also stared in astonishment, but when they saw Chen Yuniang's disheveled appearance, they laughed with glee.

Live it!

Just a moment ago, he was showing off how favored he was; now, he's ended up like this.

It's so happy!

Hearing their laughter, Chen Yuniang felt both embarrassed and angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "No... I'm not burned."

"That's good." Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief. "Tian'er, quickly wipe Aunt Chen's face."

"Yes." Tian'er quickly took a rag and stepped forward to diligently wipe the tea stains off Chen Yuniang's dress.

A strange smell assaulted her nostrils, and Chen Yuniang asked with a grim expression, "What are you wiping with this cloth?"

Tian'er paused for a moment, looked at the rag in her hand, and said uncertainly, "It looks like it's for wiping the floor... I'm sorry, Aunt Chen, I grabbed it in a moment of panic. I'll go and get you a clean one right away."

Chen Yuniang's face twisted in pain. "No need. I'll go back and change myself in a bit."

"How can you be so careless?" Yunwei scolded Tian'er, suppressing a laugh.

Tian'er lowered her head, suppressing a laugh, and said with annoyance, "This servant is so careless."

Yunwei sighed and turned her gaze to Chen Yuniang, "Aunt Chen, please don't mind, my girl is clumsy, but I have already scolded her."

Chen Yuniang looked gloomy and said in a light tone, "You call that being scolded?"

The master and servant were clearly of one mind.

Yunwei seemed oblivious to her gloomy expression and continued, "Aunt Chen, now that you've entered the Li family, I hope you'll keep to your duties as a concubine. Alright, I won't say anything more. You may go back now."

Humiliation flashed in Chen Yuniang's lowered eyes as she repeatedly reminded her that she was a concubine, as if afraid that she would not recognize her own status.

She sneered inwardly, thinking that it was uncertain who would be the wife and who would be the concubine in the future.

"Sister, I understand," she replied obediently.

Yun Wei frowned. "I just told you to keep to your proper place. Have you forgotten already? You have to refer to yourself as a concubine."

Chen Yuniang clenched her fists tightly to suppress her burning hatred. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, "This concubine... understands." Yunwei saw her frustration and forbearance, and her interest intensified. How could she not take it after such a short time?
"Okay, you can go back now." She nodded with a smile.

Just as Chen Yuniang was about to leave, she changed her mind when she saw her three concubines standing to the side.

The three of them had just made fun of her, and now she wanted to see what kind of end they would have.

Seeing that she was standing there and wouldn't leave, Yunwei thought for a moment and understood what she was thinking. She just wanted to see how she would mistreat the three concubines.

However, she never intended to make things difficult for the three girls, and seeing how much they wanted to see a show, she was even less likely to grant their wish.

"That's enough for today. I'm tired. You three don't need to serve tea anymore. Go back now."

Chen Yuniang thought she had misheard and stared at her in astonishment.

What does Yun mean by this?
They were all concubines, so why was she forced to kneel, have tea poured on her, and be lectured, while the other three didn't have to do any of that?
"Madam, you're being too... biased," Chen Yuniang said, suppressing her anger and protesting.

"Whom did I favor? Whom did I neglect?" Yunwei asked in surprise.

Chen Yuniang said with a livid face, "Madam should treat everyone equally. Why should I... this concubine have to serve tea, but they don't?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Yunwei suddenly realized. "It's not that I don't want them to serve tea. I'm just thinking that they haven't been favored by the Lord yet. I was thinking that it wouldn't be too late to let them serve tea after they have been favored. Since you put it that way, it would seem unfair of me not to let them serve tea."

However, since they insist on serving tea, shouldn't we invite the Earl to their room tonight?

Chen Yuniang choked.

"You will be in charge of persuading the Earl. You must convince him to go to their room so that they can have children for the Li family as soon as possible." Yun Wei's expression was gentle, but her words conveyed the idea of ​​considering the bigger picture.

Chen Yuniang clenched her fingertips, feeling uneasy, and said, "How can I possibly control Tinglang's thoughts? I'm afraid I'm not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility."

"Are you not up to the task? I thought you could influence the Lord's mind." Yunwei looked disappointed. "Since you can't, then they can only skip the tea ceremony today. They can serve me tea when they gain the Lord's favor."

Chen Yuniang frowned; Yun Shi was clearly doing this on purpose.

But she was unconvinced, and it was no use; she couldn't possibly take on the task of persuading Li Yaoting to go to the three concubines' quarters.

She said somberly, "This concubine will take her leave now."

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

As soon as Chen Yuniang left, the three concubines happily stepped forward, saying, "Thank you, Madam."

They weren't stupid; how could they not see the lady's obvious kindness towards them?

Yun Wei raised her hand slightly, "No need for formalities, you should all go back and rest."

The three concubines nodded and walked out. One of them couldn't help but say, "Madam, I can see that Tinglang's heart is with Concubine Chen. What should we do in the future?"

Yunwei looked at her in surprise, "What's your last name?"

"My surname is Shen," the concubine replied immediately.

Yunwei nodded, then looked at the other two concubines, "And you?"

"My surname is Liu."

"My surname is Yuan."

The other two said in unison.

Yun Wei nodded, looking at them thoughtfully, "You want to serve Li Yaoting?"
