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

Chapter 89 An Inopportune Scene

For a moment, an odd silence fell over the hall.

“You…” After a long silence, Rong Zhen finally spoke.

Yunwei looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

But after waiting for a long time, he had nothing more to say.

Yunwei's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at him with a complicated expression.

Is this man sick?

Why is it acting so strange?

Thinking this, she asked, "Is Your Highness feeling unwell?"

Rong Zhen frowned. "I am in very good health..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw the woman looking at him strangely.

He paused, then finally remembered something, his expression turning somewhat grim. "What kind of expression was that, Yun Dongjia?"

"No," Yun Wei blinked innocently.

Rong Zhen was somewhat annoyed. "Are you secretly laughing at me?"

"Why do you say that, Your Highness? Why would I make fun of you?" Yun Wei asked earnestly.

Rong Zhen sneered. He hadn't forgotten what this woman had said when they first met.

In fact, it wasn't just that one time; on several subsequent occasions, she always brought up his hidden illness.

This woman is not a normal woman.

Rong Zhen grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she couldn't understand why she had come to find her.

He abruptly stood up and said coldly, "Farewell."

Yun Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and asked, "Didn't you want to talk to me about something?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen turned his head to look at her, his thin lips pressed tightly together.

This woman is heartless; she probably doesn't even remember what she did to him when she was drunk last time.

Yunwei noticed that his expression was growing increasingly grim, as if a storm was brewing, and her heart skipped a beat.

She didn't do anything heinous, did she?

"Why is Your Highness looking at me like that?"

Rong Zhen looked at her coldly and suddenly said, "I didn't realize that the Yun family were such regulars at brothels. It really overturns my understanding."

"A brothel?" Yun Wei was stunned and blurted out, "How did you know I went there..." She stopped herself halfway through her sentence.

Rong Zhen's gaze turned even colder. "Yun Dongjia, there's no need to hide anything. People say that people speak the truth when they're drunk, and you said everything yourself last time."

Yunwei looked at him in surprise, "Did I tell you that when I was drunk last time?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen suddenly took a step closer to her, "The Yun family also said they would redeem the top courtesan of that brothel."

Yun Wei: "..."

"You also said that you have a lot of money and that you can take him to eat and drink well if he wants." When Rong Zhen said this, his handsome face turned even colder, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Yunwei looked shocked.

How could she say such arrogant things?
"No, it couldn't have been me who said that, could it?" Her voice was weak.

"So, does Master Yun think that I fabricated this story about you?" Rong Zhen sneered, taking another step closer.

Yunwei swallowed hard and subconsciously stepped back. The other person didn't seem like the type to make up such things. Besides, she had indeed been to brothels before and had drunk with the top courtesan there a few times.

In addition, she tends to talk nonsense when she's drunk.

Therefore, it is very likely that what he said was indeed what she said when she was drunk.

But wouldn't it be too embarrassing to ask her to admit it?
So she shook her head and said with a serious expression, "Then Your Highness must have misheard. How could I possibly say such a thing?"

“In fact, you not only said it, but you also did it…” Rong Zhen’s voice trailed off halfway through his sentence.

Yunwei looked at him suspiciously, "What else did I do?"

Rong Zhen pursed her lips. "I didn't do anything."

Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she hadn't done anything. Rong Zhen felt a sense of frustration seeing that she remembered nothing.

This woman touched and nibbled at him, even putting her tongue around...

His long eyelashes trembled as he quickly banished the inappropriate images from his mind.

Yunwei was puzzled when she saw his sullen face and the look in his eyes that seemed to hold a hint of hatred.

"Your Highness... what's wrong?" she asked cautiously.

"It's...nothing." Rong Zhen glanced down at her, his voice sounding like he was gritting his teeth.

Yunwei's heart pounded as she listened; this man looked incredibly dangerous.

"Then Your Highness... please sit down," she said somewhat stiffly.

Rong Zhen glanced at her. "No need, I have other matters to attend to."

Yunwei really couldn't understand him.

If you have something to do, why sit here idly for an entire afternoon?
And if he came to see her, didn't he have something to say?

"I'll see Your Highness off," Yunwei said, suppressing her doubts.

"Hmm." Rong Zhen responded, then turned and left the front hall without lingering any longer.

Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Once outside, Yunwei gave a slight bow, "Your Highness, please take care."

Rong Zhen glanced back at her, saw her smiling face, snorted coldly, and got into the carriage.

Soon, the carriage drove away.

Just as Yun Wei was about to turn and enter the mansion, suddenly, a person walked out from around the corner, looking at her with a complicated expression. "Was that the Regent just now?"

Yunwei's smile faded. "I didn't know that Lord Lou had a penchant for peeping."

The visitor was none other than Lou Chao'an.

He showed no anger at the woman's sarcasm, only a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I didn't mean to spy; I just happened to see it when I came over." He paused, then asked with a hint of doubt, "How...did you meet the Regent?"

"I don't need to tell you how I met the Regent, do I?" Yun Wei said bluntly.

Lou Chaoan frowned. "You don't need to be upset. I'm just concerned about you."

"Don't use the pretense of caring about me to pry into my private affairs," Yun Wei said coldly.

Lou Chaoan sighed, "Do you have to treat everyone as an enemy? Sometimes accepting other people's kindness is not a bad thing."

"So, you allowed Yun Yao to bring your cousin to me for a date?" Yun Wei said sarcastically.

"What do you mean?" Lou Chaoan's expression changed slightly.

"Don't play dumb. You don't know about that?" Yun Wei found it somewhat amusing.

Lou Chaoan said with a serious expression, "I really don't know anything about this matter. I will definitely give you an explanation after I go back and find out."

"Forget it, it's all in the past. I don't need any explanation from you. Just please don't show up at my door again," Yun Wei said impatiently.

Lou Chao settled down, his voice tinged with loneliness, "Do you hate me that much?"

Yunwei paused for a moment.

Do you hate him?

She hadn't thought about the question, but she definitely didn't like it.

"If it weren't for fate playing tricks on us, we should have been husband and wife." Lou Chaoan's lips curled into a bitter smile.

Yun Wei frowned. "Lord Lou, you really shouldn't have said that."

Lou Chaoan smiled faintly and changed the subject, asking, "What exactly is your relationship with the Regent?"

Yunwei was displeased to see that he was still persistent. "I don't need to tell you what my relationship with him is."

Seeing that she refused to speak, Lou Chaoan suddenly remembered what had happened a few days ago at Wangyue Tower.

That day, the Regent's lip was cut, and Pei Qing jokingly asked if it had been bitten by some young lady.

Could that young lady be Yun Wei?
