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

Chapter 73 I Don't Want to Live as a Widow Anymore
Cui Shao suddenly sighed, "If my leg were healthy, I could guard the border for you."

"It's not too late to help me when you're better," Rong Zhen said gently as he placed a piece on the chessboard.

Upon hearing this, Cui Shao felt a surge of emotion.

He originally thought that his leg would never heal and that he would never be able to go to the battlefield again, but unexpectedly, Dr. Yun brought him hope.

Once his leg heals, he will be able to return to the battlefield and defend the territory of Wei.

Recalling those years of war and conquest, Cui Shao felt a surge of emotion.

He was about to say something more when he suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? When did Doctor Yun arrive?"

“Just now.” Yun Wei collected her thoughts, took a few steps closer, and looked at the chessboard in front of the two of them.

Cui Shao smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, you can play chess too, right? I'm a little tired, you can play for me." After saying that, without waiting for Yun Wei's reply, he wheeled himself away.

Sang Qing cleverly brought over a chair. "Dr. Yun, please have a seat."

Yunwei had no choice but to sit down.

After watching Cui Shao's moves for a while, she picked up a black piece from the chess box and placed it steadily on the chessboard.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then looked at her with some surprise.

Yun Wei raised an eyebrow. "What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Has the Yun family ever been to the Moon Kingdom?" Rong Zhen suddenly asked.

Yun Wei lowered her eyes and said nonchalantly, "What makes you say that, Your Highness?"

Rong Zhen glanced at her but said nothing more.

He noticed her when she came over, and naturally he also saw her unusual reaction when she heard about the Moon Kingdom.

"Who taught the Yun family their chess skills?" he asked in turn.

“An old man,” Yun Wei said calmly.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment.

According to Qingfeng's previous investigation, she grew up in a place called Wangjia Village, which was very remote. The villagers made a living by farming, and few of them were literate, let alone skilled at chess.

“I heard that you stopped living in Wangjia Village after you were eight years old, and only returned when you were fifteen. Where did you go during those years?” Rong Zhen asked.

Yunwei glanced at him, a half-smile on her face, "Your Highness has inquired quite thoroughly, so you should know that the reason I'm not in Wangjia Village is because I was sold off by those relatives."

They sold me to a family as a child bride.

Rong Zhen remained silent. Qingfeng had found out about this matter, but he couldn't find out anything about her being a child bride in that family.

He paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Three years ago, those relatives who seized your family's land all died tragically."

Yun Wei smiled and said, "Yes, I heard they died a terrible death. Do you think they got their comeuppance?"

“It’s not retribution, it’s revenge.” Rong Zhen looked at her sharply.

Yunwei played with the chess pieces and smiled nonchalantly, "Perhaps. After all, they've done too many bad things, so they deserve to be punished."

"But how could things be so coincidental? Before you returned to Wangjia Village, they were all fine, but as soon as you returned, they all had accidents," Rong Zhen said unhurriedly.

Yunwei suddenly dropped the chess piece in her hand. "Your Highness seems very interested in my affairs. What, have you taken a fancy to me?"

"Cough cough!" Rong Zhen choked on his own saliva and looked at her in astonishment.

Yun Wei's lips curled up, "But it's no use if you like me. After all, you can't... have sex, and I don't want to live a life of widowhood again."

Rong Zhenjun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at her through gritted teeth, and after a long while, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Shameless!"

Yunwei disagreed, saying, "Your Highness is mistaken. The harmony of yin and yang between men and women is a perfectly normal thing. You can't be so incapable of seeing others enjoy themselves just because you yourself are impotent."

Rong Zhen: "..."

"Of course, after the prince's poison is cured, I will... um!" Before Yun Wei could finish speaking, the man's large hand covered her mouth.

Yun Wei: "..."

A hint of surprise flashed in her almond-shaped eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at the man who had covered her mouth in astonishment. Rong Zhen looked completely uncomfortable.

The woman was talking nonsense, and fearing she might say something even more embarrassing, he instinctively reached out and covered her mouth.

But at this moment, seeing her with only her eyes showing after he covered her mouth, he unconsciously lost his focus again.

Her face is so small...

Such long eyelashes...

When she blinked, her long eyelashes brushed against his fingers, causing a slight tickle.

He never knew that the woman's face was so small and her eyelashes so long.

Lost in thought, he suddenly felt his palm was wet.

Realizing what had happened, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

Yunwei snapped out of her daze, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, and smiled nonchalantly, "What Your Highness did just now, could it be considered as harassing a respectable woman?"

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed, and he said with a serious expression, "Master Yun, be careful what you say."

Yunwei glanced at his bright red ears, scoffed, and got up to leave.

When no one was around, she raised her hand and touched her burning face.

What a hell.

She had just felt a bit flustered.

This was something she had never done before.

On the other side, Rong Zhen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at his palm as if remembering something.

The warm, moist sensation seemed to linger in his palm.

He felt extremely uncomfortable, and unconsciously rubbed his palms against his robes, trying to wipe away the feeling.

……

In the following days, Yunwei did not go to the Cui residence again, but only instructed Aman to give Cui Shao a medicinal bath on time.

That day, Chen Bolai reported, "Master, a guest has arrived."

"Who is it?" Yunwei put down what she was doing and asked.

“There were two old ladies, one of whom said her surname was Lan,” Uncle Chen replied with a strange look on his face.

"Surname Lan?" Yun Wei was taken aback and searched her memory for acquaintances with the same surname.

After a long while, I remembered that the nanny serving the Empress Dowager was surnamed Lan.

Thinking of this, she frowned. Could it be Granny Lan?

“I’ll go with you to take a look,” Yunwei said.

Upon arriving at the mansion gate, Yunwei immediately noticed two elderly women sitting on the steps outside.

"Xiao Lan, we came here so suddenly, what if that girl refuses to see us?" one of the old ladies muttered.

"Let's wait and see," another elderly woman comforted her.

"Alright, let's wait and see. If she still won't let me in, then we'll have no choice but to force our way in," the old lady in front said, rolling up her sleeves as if she had made up her mind.

"Yes, this old servant will accompany you on your adventure," another old woman said with a smile.

"Sigh!" The old lady in front suddenly sighed, "Why is it so hard for me to find another daughter-in-law? Why is Shenzhi so disappointing? I, an old lady, have to step in myself."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei's lips twitched slightly.

She didn't need to look to know who the two old ladies were.

"Want a daughter-in-law? That's easy! The Empress Dowager will issue an imperial edict summoning all the unmarried noble ladies in the capital to the palace, and the Regent will be able to choose."
