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

Chapter 76 was thus destroyed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss Yun really isn't picky."

Yun Wei's face darkened, but before she could speak, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, looked Li Yaoting up and down, and then said with a look of disdain, "You are Weiwei's former husband?"

Li Yaoting didn't take the old woman in front of him seriously at all, and even showed a hint of disdain and contempt on his face. "So what if she is?"

"I don't think so." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, her face full of disdain. "You're not even worthy to carry my son's shoes, how dare you look down on people? Fortunately, Weiwei divorced you. With your sharp-tongued and short-lived appearance, you are not worthy of Weiwei at all."

Li Yaoting's expression changed drastically. "You old woman, watch your mouth!"

"My son, he's going to hit me!" The Empress Dowager immediately hid behind Rong Zhen.

Li Yaoting was furious, "You old hag..."

"What do you want to say?" Rong Zhen stood in front of the Empress Dowager and Yun Wei.

Those few simple words stopped Li Yaoting from uttering the curses he was about to unleash.

Especially when he met Rong Zhen's cold eyes, a chill ran down his spine.

This man was clearly of ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes, so why did he make the man feel a sense of awe and oppression?
Li Yaoting was deeply shaken.

After regaining his senses, he felt immediately annoyed.

He must have been too tired during this period to have that kind of illusion.

But he subconsciously avoided Rong Zhen's gaze and turned to Yun Wei instead, frowning as he said, "We were husband and wife, so let me give you a reminder: even if you leave me, don't ruin yourself."

Yunwei was so angry at his words that she laughed. "Marrying you hastily back then was the biggest waste I ever did for myself."

Li Yaoting snorted coldly, "Stubborn!"

Chen Yuniang chimed in, "That's right. No matter what, you're still a young lady from the Pingning Marquis's mansion. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your family by choosing a poor, old, and ugly man like this?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Rong Zhen, and it was obvious who the poor, old, and ugly man she was talking about was.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei subconsciously glanced at Rong Zhen and saw that his face had darkened.

The dignified Regent was described as poor and old; Rong Zhen probably felt like crippling Chen Yuniang.

She suppressed a laugh and said disdainfully, "That's still better than you becoming someone's concubine. That's right, even if you become someone's concubine, your family won't feel ashamed, since they're counting on you to be someone's concubine so they can benefit the family."

"You!" Chen Yuniang's chest heaved with anger, and her throat tasted metallic.

She was proud and arrogant, considering herself the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion. However, she ended up as someone's concubine, and she hated nothing more than people talking about her being a concubine. In addition, after Li Yaoting divorced Yun Shi, he never intended to make her his official wife. Being criticized by Yun Shi at this time was worse than killing her.

"What do you mean, 'you'? You really have no shame! In this day and age, you're someone's concubine, and you still dare to swagger around in the street and embarrass yourself. Are you afraid that others won't know you're a concubine?" The Empress Dowager mocked.

Chen Yuniang's face turned pale and then red. Unable to suppress the metallic taste in her throat any longer, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Yu Niang!" Li Yaoting exclaimed in shock and quickly helped her up.

Chen Yuniang gripped his arm tightly with her fingers, weak and helpless, and said, "Tinglang, they insulted me like that, I... I have no face to live anymore..."

Seeing this, Li Yaoting felt both heartache and anxiety. His face darkened as he glared at Yun Wei and the Empress Dowager, "You..."

"Come on, don't miss out, come and see my concubine!" Before Li Yaoting could react, the Empress Dowager suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.

Li Yaoting's face turned ashen. Seeing that people were indeed looking in their direction and pointing, he said, "You just wait, I won't let this go," picked up Chen Yuniang, and slunk away.

"Haha!" Watching the two flee in disarray, the Empress Dowager burst into laughter. "You little bastards, don't you dare run away!"

Yun Wei smiled and said, "You're really amazing."

"Two mere wretches are not enough for me to play with," the Empress Dowager said smugly.

After laughing, she remembered something and quickly started winking at her son.

Rong Zhen asked irritably, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

The Empress Dowager choked, she was really angry at her son's slowness, and couldn't help but tease him: "You old man, you really don't know what's good for you." Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes, "If you talk nonsense again, I will send you back to the palace."

The Empress Dowager said sullenly, "All you do is threaten me. You deserve to be a bachelor at your age."

Rong Zhen: "..."

Seeing him repeatedly humiliated in front of the Empress Dowager, Yunwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Rong Zhen heard this, turned her gaze to her, and sneered, "The Yun family's judgment is really not good."

"Yes," Yunwei nodded.

Rong Zhen was taken aback, not expecting her to admit it so readily.

"It's not your fault... it's that Li Yaoting doesn't know what's good for him." After a long pause, he said awkwardly.

"It was that bastard's fault all along, Weiwei did nothing wrong." The Empress Dowager said, putting her arm around Yunwei's shoulder.

Yunwei glanced at the mother and son, a warm feeling washing over her.

When they learned of her divorce, not a single member of the Yun family stood by her side or spoke out in her defense. They only blamed her, believing that she was in the wrong and shouldn't have divorced.

But the Empress Dowager, an old woman she had only met twice, stood by her side unconditionally, believing that she was not wrong.

"Mmm." She nodded gently.

The Empress Dowager took her hand and said with a smile, "When that slut said you had found that old man Shenzhi, you didn't deny it. Does that mean you're willing to marry Shenzhi?"

Yun Wei was taken aback. "I didn't say that."

"You didn't say it directly, but you didn't deny it either." The Empress Dowager looked at her with a kind expression, paused, and then said, "Actually, our Shenzhi is really a good man. Although he has a fierce reputation, he is actually more tender-hearted than anyone else. Whoever marries him will surely be happy for a lifetime. Our Shenzhi is a good man who will never let his woman shed tears."

Yun Wei: "..."

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed; he couldn't listen any longer. "Do you think anyone will believe your nonsense? Can you please stop saying such strange things and making things difficult for others?"

Just a moment ago they were extremely critical of him, but now they're praising him to the skies, making it seem like he's the only one who can find a wife.

"Hey, I was just praising you, how can you not appreciate my kindness?" The Empress Dowager was displeased.

Does he know how difficult it is for her to say so many nice things about him?
They actually undermined her like that.

The image she painstakingly cultivated for him was completely ruined.

"Is that what you mean by kindness? You're clearly doing it for yourself!" Rong Zhen sneered.

The Empress Dowager choked for a moment, "How did it become me?"

“All you think about is having a grandson,” Rong Zhen said, pointing out the obvious.

The Empress Dowager muttered, "But you'd have to be able to give birth to her first."

Rong Zhen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Still want to go to the theater?"

"Let me think about it." The Empress Dowager nodded vigorously.

"If you want to leave, then hurry up and go." Rong Zhen said patiently, and then left first.

"Alas, a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up," the Empress Dowager sighed mournfully.

Yun Wei: "..."

Looking at Rong Zhen, who had already walked ahead, she thought for a moment and then said to the Empress Dowager, "I understand what you mean, but I have no intention of remarrying at the moment."

The implication was that she should give up on trying to match her with Rong Zhen and stop wasting her time on her.
