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

What happened in Chapter 47 is self-evident.
Yunwei glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting that she would actually return the housekeeper's power.

She knew better than anyone how much Madam Shen wanted to manage the household.

For the past two years, she has been eyeing the power to manage the household.

Even after taking over the household, Madam Shen learned of the Li family's predicament, but driven by vanity, she was unwilling to give up. After all, although the Li family was penniless, Li Yaoting's name was still useful.

She was aware that Shen had been using Li Yaoting's name to run up debts everywhere recently.

Didn't the Shen family enjoy the glory of being in charge of the household? Why would they suddenly return the power of household management?
Thinking for a moment, Yunwei asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Shen was extremely unwilling to return the power to manage the household, but Li Yanting threatened to divorce her.

Although Li Yanting is paralyzed and needs to be taken care of in everything, he is her husband. If she divorces him, her family will not accept her, and she will have nowhere to go.

So she eventually compromised and returned the power to manage the family to the Yun family.

Hearing Yun's question, she said with a frustrated expression, "No, I'm just not up to the task."

"Really? But I've noticed you've been managing the Li family quite well lately," Yunwei said calmly, having observed her reaction.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen felt somewhat guilty, since the Li family's accountant was short of money, and she had to have people buy on credit to cover daily expenses.

But then she remembered that she had bought on credit for the sake of the Li family, so she straightened her back and said haughtily, "In short, I don't want to manage the household anymore. You managed it before, and you will continue to manage it from now on."

“But I don’t want to clean up your mess,” Yun Wei said calmly.

Startled, Shen met her cold gaze and broke out in a cold sweat.

The Yun family knows everything.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't you know?" Yun Wei glanced at her. "Do you want me to spell it out?"

Shen reluctantly shut up.

Yunwei didn't say anything more. She picked up the tokens and keys and suggested, "If you really don't want to manage the household anymore, then send them to Chen Yuniang. I think she really wants to manage the household."

"She's just a concubine, what right does she have to manage the household?" Madam Shen raised her voice, clearly indignant.

Even if she didn't want to manage it anymore, she didn't want a concubine to manage it.

"Just because she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chen's family," Yun Wei said calmly.

Shen choked for a moment, but quickly said disdainfully, "You really don't know anything. Do you still think the Chen family can rise again? Let me tell you, the Chen family has no chance of rising again at all."

At this point, she said in a tone of disappointment, "You are the legal wife, why do you let a concubine be above you? Your family is the Marquis of Pingning, while Chen Yuniang's family is nothing. She is not as good as you at all."

If you take a firm stance, I believe the old lady will also stand on your side. What waves can a mere concubine like Chen Yuniang stir up?
"By cowering in the yard like this, you only make yourself seem easier to bully."

Seeing the other person's seemingly considerate manner, Yunwei found it amusing, but said on the surface, "What you said makes sense."

Seeing that she had taken her words to heart, Madam Shen became even more enthusiastic, "That's right! No matter what, you are the legal wife. How can you let a concubine act like a tyrant? You should kick her out."

"If Chen Yuniang's family had regained their noble title, you would probably say these things to Chen Yuniang, wouldn't you?" Yunwei looked at her sharply.

Madam Shen's expression became uncomfortable. "How could that be? We are sisters-in-law, of course I'm on your side."

"Really? But I noticed you were being quite ingratiating with Chen Yuniang a while ago," Yun Wei said slowly.

Shen's indignation today stems from her belief that Chen Yuniang's family has no chance of recovery. Ultimately, Shen is a snob.

"How could that be?" Madam Shen's eyes darted around, looking very guilty. "I'm only doing this for your own good. If you won't listen, then so be it."

Yunwei tossed the key to her and said casually, "Send it to Chen Yuniang."

Shen secretly curled her lip.

Just as she turned to leave, Yun Wei's voice suddenly rang out behind her, "Is Li Yanting's leg in a lot of pain right now?"

Without much thought, Madam Shen replied irritably, "He's in excruciating pain every night. Without his medicine, I think he's about to pass away."

After she left, Tian'er said with some confusion, "This Shen family is really heartless. She doesn't care at all whether the Second Master lives or dies."

Yunwei said, "She was forced to marry into the Li family back then, and she had no feelings for Li Yanting."

“But she’s not doing so well at the Shen family either.” Tian’er said, then remembered something, “By the way, Miss, last time after you went out, I saw Master Li outside our courtyard.”

"What is he doing here?" Yunwei asked in surprise.

Tian'er shook her head. "When I went up to ask him, he said he was just taking a walk. Then he asked if you were in the courtyard. When I said no, he left. I was wondering if he came looking for you?"

Upon hearing this, Yunwei didn't ask any further questions.

Tian'er suddenly sighed, "Actually, Second Master is quite pitiful. He can't walk and can only sit in a wheelchair. He's so thin, like skin and bones. The Old Madam doesn't care about him either. I think Madam Shen is hoping for his death. He's such a good person..."

Yunwei's thoughts drifted away.

Li Yanting was indeed different from the rest of the Li family; he was just unlucky and became paralyzed after falling off his horse.

When she married into the Li family, he was already paralyzed and bedridden, unable to walk, and Old Madam Li had given up on him.

Later, she secretly arranged for Steward Ding to send a doctor to his home to treat him and give him medicine, and he got better.

Although he was physically disabled, he never complained and was always kind and gentle to the servants. That's why she took it upon herself to arrange for him to marry a woman surnamed Shen so that she could take care of him.

Unbeknownst to Shen, her parents originally intended to sell her to an old widower with a sexually transmitted disease who had abused and killed several of his wives. She happened to witness this and that's why she went to propose marriage.

After three years of medication, it's time for Li Yanting's legs to be treated with acupuncture.

Yunwei seemed to be deep in thought.

When Madam Shen went to Chen Yuniang's courtyard, she had just returned from Li Yaoting's study.

Seeing her flushed face and her limp, supple appearance, Madam Shen secretly despised her.

Although she did not consummate her marriage with Li Yanting, she had seen how the concubines behaved after being favored when she was in the Shen family, and they were just like Chen Yuniang now.

What Chen Yuniang just did is self-evident.

After putting down the key and the token, she said, "From now on, the affairs of the manor will be handled by you. I have already given the order that the stewards will report directly to you."

Chen Yuniang was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief that such a good thing could exist.

Wasn't Madam Shen clinging to power and unwilling to relinquish it? How come she suddenly changed her mind and is willing to let go?

Regardless, it's a good thing that the Shen family is willing to relinquish control of the household.

Suppressing her overwhelming joy, Chen Yuniang tentatively asked, "Why... do you suddenly not want to manage the household anymore?"
