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

Chapter 84 Willing to Let You Take Advantage

Yunwei didn't take Li Mingzhu seriously, but Aman said angrily, "You didn't hit her, so why does she hate you? You're really out of your mind."

Yunwei said, "Ignore her. See what else you need and pick some more."

“I don’t need anything else. The ones you picked out for me will last me a while,” Aman shook his head.

Yunwei nodded, said nothing more, and told the shop assistant to pack the items.

The shop assistant had mixed feelings; he never expected that the young woman in front of him was actually the owner of the shop.

He was glad he had resisted the temptation and done something irreversible.

"Master, please keep the gold safe." Manager Wu presented a gold ingot to Yun Wei, which was the same gold ingot she had taken out earlier.

Yunwei reached out and accepted the gift, saying, "Put these cosmetics that Madam Cui chose on my tab."

"I understand," Manager Wu replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Aman quickly took out his money bag, "No need to put it on your tab, I bought these, I'll pay for them."

Yunwei reached out to stop her, "No need, it's not worth much, just consider it a gift from me."

“How can that be?” Aman frowned. “That snail-shaped emerald is something that can’t be bought even with money. I can’t take advantage of you.”

Yunwei said nonchalantly, "It's my pleasure to let you take advantage of me, so don't refuse. I brought you to my shop to buy face powder, not to make money off you. If you like the face powder in my shop, you can come back to buy it next time. I will definitely charge you next time."

Hearing her say that, Aman had no choice but to give up.

She looked around the shop and praised, "Your shop is quite good, and the manager and the staff are also excellent."

Yun Wei nodded, "Mm."

She was very satisfied with the way the shop assistants and manager handled things.

Before leaving, she said to the shopkeeper and the waiter, "Well done."

The shopkeeper and his assistant were overjoyed to receive the praise from their employer.

After buying face powder and rouge, Yunwei took Aman to buy clothes.

Just as it was time to eat, she was planning to take Aman to Zuihelou Restaurant when Sang Qing arrived in a carriage and found the two of them.

"Master Yundong, Madam Cui, we've finally found you!" Sang Qing jumped down from the carriage, a smile on her face.

"Is there something you need from Eunuch Sang?" Yunwei asked.

“General Cui rarely comes to the city, so my master has ordered wine and food to be prepared. He asked me to invite Master Yun and Madam Cui to the Prince’s residence for a meal together,” Sang Qing replied.

Yunwei frowned slightly. She wanted to say that she wouldn't go, but Aman grabbed her arm tightly. "Weiwei, let's go together. I should go back after we finish eating."

"Okay." Yunwei finally nodded.

Sang Qing was overjoyed to see that she had agreed; he had been afraid she would refuse.

"Master Yun, Madam Cui, please get into the carriage."

……

Li family.

As soon as Li Mingzhu entered the door, she encountered Li Yaoting and Chen Yuniang.

Chen Yuniang, with her sharp eyes, noticed the handprint on Mingzhu's face and exclaimed in surprise, "Mingzhu, what happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Li Mingzhu originally wanted to cover it up, but when she shouted, Li Yaoting had already looked over, and the servants next to her also looked over curiously. She was furious.

She hated Yun Shi and also loathed Chen Yuniang.

"Are you mute? I'm asking you a question, why aren't you talking?" Li Yaoting stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her sternly.

Li Mingzhu was furious and yelled at him, "Isn't it all because of that bitch Yun? It's all your fault, why did you ever fall for a woman like her?"

Li Yaoting was taken aback. "Did Yun hit you?" Li Mingzhu's eyes flashed. Although it wasn't Yun who hit him, it was because of her.

She said angrily, "Who else but her?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang immediately said, "The Yun family is truly despicable. Even after we've broken away from the Li family, they still won't let us go. Mingzhu's face is swollen; they really went too far. Tinglang, this matter cannot be left like this."

Li Yaoting also resented Yun Wei, but since Yun Wei left, the Li family has been declining. He was exhausted every day just from paying back the interest, so he had no time to deal with these trivial matters.
Besides, that woman from the Yun family is no pushover; he has never had the upper hand against her.

Thinking of this, he said impatiently, "Li Mingzhu, stop causing trouble. Stay at home and don't run around. In a few days, someone will come to propose marriage."

Li Mingzhu was startled and frowned at him. "What marriage proposal?"

"I have already betrothed you to the Yang family," Li Yaoting said succinctly, unwilling to elaborate further.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhu angrily retorted, "What Yang family? Explain yourself!"

“Li Mingzhu, don’t be ungrateful. The Yang family is the best family I can find for you. Now that your mother is unwell, I will naturally be the one to arrange your marriage,” Li Yaoting said with a stern face.

Li Mingzhu was both angry and furious. "The Yang family you mentioned, could it be that impoverished Yang family in the west of the city? If you want to marry, go ahead and marry them yourself. I'm not going to marry them."

"It's not up to you!" Li Yaoting said with a gloomy face.

"I will make my own decisions about my marriage. Don't meddle in my business!" Li Mingzhu shouted angrily.

"You decide for yourself? Aren't you ashamed to say that?" Li Yaoting sneered.

"Anyway, Lou Junyi from the second branch of the Lou family has already agreed to marry me. You'd better not cause trouble, otherwise once I marry into the Lou family, don't expect me to take care of the family."

Li Yaoting was taken aback. "The second branch of the Lou family?"

Seeing him stunned, Li Mingzhu said with a hint of smugness, "Exactly."

Li Yaoting snapped out of his daze and nodded. “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll send the Yang family away. But Li Mingzhu, you’d better be able to guarantee that the Lou family will come to propose marriage. Otherwise, with your qualifications, if you miss out on the Yang family, you won’t be able to find anyone better.”

"Don't look down on me." Li Mingzhu was very annoyed. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Yuniang frowned slightly and looked at the man beside her, saying, "Tinglang, the Yun family has been bullying Mingzhu like this. This matter cannot be left unresolved."

Li Yaoting frowned slightly. "Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

Chen Yuniang choked.

She had witnessed the Yun family's abilities firsthand.

That woman knows martial arts.

She can't beat them in a fight, nor can she win an argument.

Unfortunately, her plan to revive the Chen family was stalled because her brother was imprisoned last time.

Although the elder brother has now cleared himself of any involvement, the imperial court has yet to issue an edict restoring his title.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied by the Yun family and wouldn't have been unable to resist.

Chen Yuniang became angrier the more she thought about it, and hesitated before saying, "A couple of days ago, my mother told me that she had already asked someone to make connections and that there might be an opportunity for her to meet with the Empress Dowager to plead her case."

If we could see the Empress Dowager, there might be hope for the restoration of our Chen family's title.

I want to go back and see if there's any news.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting was overjoyed, but couldn't help but complain, "Why are you only telling me now about something this big?"

Chen Yuniang quickly explained, "This matter hasn't been decided yet. I was afraid that if I told you in advance, something might happen and you would be disappointed."

"Alright, I understand what you mean. There's no time to lose, go back to the Chen family and ask around. If you have any news, come back and tell me as soon as possible," Li Yaoting said, patting her shoulder.

“Okay,” Chen Yuniang readily agreed.

If the Chen family can regain its title, she will definitely be promoted to the rank of countess. At that time, she will be a countess, and with the support of a maternal family like the Duke's Mansion, even Lady Yun will have to pay her respects when she sees her.

Chen Yuniang became increasingly pleased with herself.
