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

Chapter 51 Yunwei disciplines Old Madam Li

On the mornings she came to pay her respects to Madam Yun, she had personally witnessed how sumptuous Madam Yun's table was, and she also knew that Madam Yun's three meals were prepared separately from the main kitchen. Madam Yun had a separate kitchen in this courtyard, and there was a cook who was specially in charge of preparing the food.

She deliberately said it to let Old Madam Li know how extravagant Yun was in private, that she probably amassed a lot of money when she was in charge of the family, and that Yun was not on the same side as the Li family.

As expected, Madam Li was displeased upon hearing this.

During this period, the Li family had run out of money, and the whole family had to tighten their belts. The food they ate was bland and tasteless, and she hadn't eaten any delicacies for a long time.

But at Yunshi's place, not only was a separate kitchen set up, but the food was also plentiful and varied, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"Someone, go to the small kitchen and fetch some snacks for the young master," Madam Li ordered in a deep voice.

Tian'er was already furious and remorseful for not being able to stop them from entering her young mistress's room so openly. Hearing what they said only fueled her anger, and she stopped Zhang Mama, who was about to fetch some snacks.

“Madam, the small kitchen in Yilan Courtyard is only for my young lady to cook. The ingredients are also rationed every day. Moreover, my young lady hates it when people touch her food without her permission. If she finds out, she will be very angry. If the young master wants to eat, it would be better to get it from the main kitchen.”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Li's expression changed, and she looked at her with a gloomy gaze, "You lowly servant, what did you say?"

Yun is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Doesn't everything Yun owns belong to the Li family? What's wrong with her taking some of Yun's food?
How dare a mere servant obstruct us?

Madam Li was furious.

Coupled with Yunwei's two rejections, which already made her feel embarrassed, the fact that a servant dared to slap her in the face made Old Madam Li even more furious.

Immediately, she shouted angrily, "Guards, slap him hard across the face!"

Soon, Tian'er's arms were twisted by two old women, and Zhang Mama raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face, "What do you think you are, daring to speak to the old lady like that!"

Sweetie's head was ringing from the beating, but she still stubbornly shouted, "None of you can touch my young lady's things!"

"You wretched servant, how dare you talk back?" Granny Zhang slapped Tian'er across the face again.

Chen Yuniang, watching from the sidelines with schadenfreude, deliberately added fuel to the fire, saying, "A mere servant dares to talk back to the old lady. She really doesn't respect the old lady at all. Could it be that your master instructed her to do this?"

Having repeatedly suffered setbacks at Yunwei's hands, Old Madam Li was already seething with anger. Upon hearing this, her pent-up anger flared up again, and she said with a grim face, "Beat her to death!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang swung her arm and slapped Tian'er's face again.

For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of slaps.

The servants of Yilan Courtyard couldn't bear to watch and went forward to plead for mercy, but they were all kicked to the ground by the servants around the old lady.

"With the old lady here, who dares to be disrespectful!"

"Drag them out! Drag them all out!"

Soon, all the servants of Yilan Courtyard were taken outside, except for Tian'er, who was also forced to slap her.

"Slapping someone is fun, so much fun!" Huan-ge clapped his hands and said with a grin.

Seeing this, Madam Li was delighted and ordered, "Zhang Mama, hit her hard!"

Granny Zhang was panting heavily, but upon hearing the old lady's order, she had no choice but to muster all her strength and slap Tian'er's face again.

Sweetie's cheeks were swollen from the beating, and blood seeped from her mouth.

"Please have mercy, Madam! If you keep hitting her, Sister Tian'er will die!" a servant from Yilan Courtyard shouted hoarsely.

They wanted to find Yunwei and bring her back, but they didn't know where to look.

Everyone was extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Madam Li remained unmoved.

After an unknown amount of time, Tian'er was beaten until she was almost unconscious. Only then did she speak to Zhang Mama in a condescending tone, "Alright, she's just a lowly servant girl. She's been taught a lesson. Go and bring her some food. Don't let my precious grandson go hungry."

"Yes," Zhang Mama replied, and withdrew her hand.

Tian'er's head was buzzing, and she felt dizzy. Before she could regain her balance, Zhang Mama suddenly pushed her, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Granny Zhang snorted coldly, lifted her foot, and stepped over her.

It was almost time for dinner, and in the small kitchen, the cook had prepared a sumptuous meal for Yunwei.

When Zhang Mama went in and saw it, her eyes widened in surprise.

The Yun family is eating so well!

She pushed the cook aside, took all the cooked food, and brought it into the house.

In an instant, the room was filled with a rich aroma, and the table was covered with all kinds of dishes.

Seeing such a sumptuous and delicious feast, Madam Li couldn't help but swallow.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that Madam Yun ate so well on a regular basis.

A dinner for one person consisted of more than a dozen dishes.

Madam Li was both shocked and angry.

While she was scrimping and saving, the Yun family was being so extravagant.

Chen Yuniang looked at the dishes laid out on the table and secretly swallowed.

She already knew that the Yun family ate very well, but looking at this sumptuous dinner, she still couldn't help but drool a little.

Huan-ge'er, who was being held on Madam Li's lap, reached out to grab the food when he saw it.

"My dear grandson, slow down, be careful not to burn yourself. Grandma will get you some." Coming to her senses, Old Madam Li quickly stopped him, picked up her chopsticks, and was about to pick up the dish her grandson wanted when a hand suddenly reached out and took the dish away.

Madam Li was taken aback. She looked up and saw Yun Wei, and instinctively tried to put on her mother-in-law's airs, "You're back just in time, hurry up and serve her... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Li suddenly let out a scream.

Yunwei then slammed the plate of food she was holding directly onto Old Madam Li's face and pressed it down hard.

The scalding soup caused Old Madam Li to scream in agony.

"Ahhh-"

Everyone in the room was stunned by this sudden scene. After they came to their senses, Granny Zhang and Chen Yuniang rushed forward.

"Madam, what are you doing? Let go!"

"Sister, how could you lay a hand on Mother? This is utterly disobedient and unfilial!"

Yunwei threw down the plate in her hand, turned around and kicked Zhang Mama over, then grabbed Chen Yuniang's hair.

"Who gave you the audacity to cause trouble in my courtyard?" Yun Wei's gaze was icy, and her voice was frigid.

When Chen Yuniang met her cold eyes, her heart pounded, and she screamed, "Let me go! Otherwise, Tinglang won't let you off... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was dragged and pressed into the dish on the table.

"Ahhh-"

Chen Yuniang let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The dishes were all freshly prepared by the cook, and given the hot weather, it was difficult to dissipate heat. Chen Yuniang, with her delicate skin, was scalded and screamed in agony. She tried to struggle, but to her horror, she found that she couldn't break free at all.

Huan Ge'er, who was standing to the side, saw his grandmother and mother screaming and thought they were performing some kind of trick, so he immediately burst out laughing.

After a long while, Madam Li finally came to her senses, and she was furious.

She brushed the vegetable leaves off her face and roared angrily, "Yun, how dare you treat me like that! I will make Yaoting divorce you!"
