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

Chapter 296 Secretly Rejoicing
Yun Wei said calmly, "This shows that Feng Huai is still quite virtuous."

"So?" Haitang asked, puzzled.

“If you like Feng Huai, I can arrange a marriage between you two,” Yun Wei said.

Haitang then understood what she meant, her face flushing slightly, "I don't like him..."

Yunwei looked at her blushing face and understood, but she didn't press her. She just said, "Then tell me when you like her someday."

……

When Feng Huai woke up, he touched his chest and found that it didn't hurt at all. He quickly opened his clothes to check himself and found that apart from the scars left from his fight with Dongfang Du, there were no new injuries. He was immediately puzzled.

Could it be that the Empress used some special method to extract his heart's blood?
But no matter how special the method, it's impossible to leave no trace.

But there wasn't a single new wound on his body, not even a pinhole.

"You're awake." Haitang walked in at that moment.
Feng Huai quickly asked, "Has your poison been neutralized?"

"It's done." Haitang nodded.

Feng Huai was taken aback. "So fast?"

Haitang's eyes flickered. "Yes."

In fact, Yunwei had already prepared the antidote for Biluo, so there was no need for any boy's heart's blood. Yesterday's scene was just to scare Feng Huai, because he had been ruthless in the past and fed Biluo to Haitang.

Feng Huai was completely unaware of the situation. Hearing Haitang say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that it's resolved."

……

The new emperor ascended the throne, but the imperial examinations were still held as usual.

In this spring imperial examination, Li Yanting won first place with his own abilities. In the palace examination, he was named the new top scholar by Rong Zhen, becoming a new nobleman of the court and was even granted a mansion.

On the day she moved into the top scholar's residence, Madam Shen's eyes welled up with tears.

She has truly overcome all her hardships and is now enjoying happiness!

Yunwei was unable to leave the palace, but she sent a congratulatory gift.

But on this joyous occasion, someone had to come and bring bad luck.

"Madam, Old Madam Li and Madam Lou have arrived," Tao'er reported, her expression somewhat strange.

"Who?" Madam Shen didn't react for a moment.

“It’s the adults’… mother and sister,” Tao’er explained.

Only then did Madam Shen remember that there were these two people.

"What are they doing here?" Madam Shen squinted.

Tao'er shook her head, "This servant does not know."

"Don't see them, drive them away," Shen said without hesitation.

They had long since left the Jing'an Marquis's residence. The sudden appearance of that old hag, Madam Li, was definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, Li Yaoting has been convicted of treason and imprisoned. He will likely be executed in the autumn, at which time the Jing'an Marquis's mansion will also be raided.

Just as Tao'er was about to leave, a commotion broke out. Soon after, Madam Li and Li Mingzhu, disregarding the servants' attempts to stop them, forced their way in.

When Shen saw the mother and daughter for the first time, she almost didn't recognize them.

After so long, Madam Li looked very haggard. Her once plump face was now sunken, her complexion was sallow, and her clothes were wrinkled.

As for Li Mingzhu, she had also lost a lot of weight. Although she wasn't very old, her face showed a lot of worry, making her look like a woman in her thirties.

The two had changed so much that Madam Shen was quite surprised.

Seeing that Madam Shen did not react, and that she had arrived but did not get up to greet her, instead sitting there rudely, Madam Li was very annoyed.

She considered herself Li Yanting's mother and Shen's mother-in-law, and since she had come to their residence, they should treat her with utmost respect.

Madam Li, adopting the airs of a mother-in-law, scolded, "Shen, what kind of daughter-in-law are you? You don't even greet your mother-in-law, and you just sit there without getting up. Such disrespect! I will definitely make Yanqian divorce you!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen finally came to her senses. Looking at the sharp-tongued and mean-spirited old woman in front of her, her expression darkened.

How could the old woman dare to act like a domineering mother-in-law in front of her?

Madam Shen sneered, glanced at the mother and daughter, and said disdainfully, "Oh, where did these beggars come from?"

Beggar?
Madam Li's expression changed, and she pointed a trembling finger at Madam Shen, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Mingzhu's face also turned ugly as she said, "Second sister-in-law, how could you say such things about us?"

"Guards, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll reward them with a few copper coins. However, they stink rotten. Take the money and get them out of here as soon as possible." Madam Shen ignored the two women and directly ordered her servants.

Tao'er immediately took a few copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of Madam Li and her daughter.

The two were so angry they were trembling.

"Shen, you!" Old Madam Li's lips trembled, and she looked like she was about to faint.

"What bad luck! Get them out of here quickly, or they might die!" Madam Shen said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Tao'er immediately led her people forward and lifted Old Madam Li up.

Madam Li was so angry she nearly fell backward, but she couldn't break free at all.

"The residence of the top scholar is not a place for a shrew like you to run wild!" Tao'er snorted coldly and, with her servants, carried Old Madam Li outside.

Li Mingzhu stared at Shen Shi in disbelief, "Shen Shi, how dare you treat your mother like this? This is disobedience and unfilial piety!"

"Who do you think you are?" Madam Shen glanced at her.

Li Mingzhu choked.

She was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she couldn't utter a single word.

If it were back when she was still a member of the Lou family, would Madam Shen have dared to speak to her like that?

However, some time ago, the Li family suddenly encountered trouble, and Lou Junyi, fearing that he would be implicated, quickly divorced her, making her a divorced woman.

She and her mother came here today because they heard that Li Yanting had become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Li Yanting is her second brother, and now that he has become the top scholar in the imperial examination, how can he not care about her and her mother's life and death?
Thinking of this, she said angrily, "Shen, you can't make decisions for my second brother. I want to see my second brother."

Shen looked smug. "I really can make decisions for him!" she said. Then, her face darkened, and she pointed at Li Mingzhu, saying, "Guards, throw her out too!"

Immediately, servants stepped forward and lifted Li Mingzhu up.

Li Mingzhu's expression changed drastically, and she struggled desperately, "Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am your adults' own sister! How dare you be disrespectful to me! When my second brother returns, he will not let you off!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her despite her desperate shouts.

Everyone in the household knows that although the master is the newly appointed top scholar and is highly regarded by the emperor, in this mansion, it is the madam who makes the decisions, and even the master has to listen to the madam.

The servants carried her away without stopping.

Fearing that Old Madam Li would make a scene and cause misunderstandings among the neighbors, Tao'er took some people to a deserted alley, gave the mother and daughter a good beating, and then abandoned them far away.

Li Yanting knew nothing about this matter, but Shen was not guilty at all.

Because Madam Li was not Li Yanting's biological mother at all; his biological mother was actually killed by Madam Li.

This is something Li Yanting found out himself.

Li Yanting himself also hated Madam Li to the core.

Madam Li thought they didn't know, and they still dared to come to the door. It would be strange if Madam Shen didn't take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Madam Li and her daughter suffered in silence, but dared not cause any more trouble at her door.

Because the servants at the top scholar's residence were really ruthless, they beat the mother and daughter quite badly. When they returned home, the two of them couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

By the time they recovered, Li Yaoting had been sentenced to be executed in the autumn, the Jing'an Marquis's mansion was facing confiscation of its property, and Old Madam Li and Li Mingzhu were sentenced to exile.

On the day of her exile, Chen Yuniang hid in the crowd, secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, she had severed ties with the Li family before the incident. When the Li family was in trouble, she took her brother and son away from the Li family. Otherwise, she would surely be among those exiled today.
