Chapter 90 She is the Regent's kept woman.
This realization left Lou Chaoan in disbelief, and a shadow of sadness crossed his brow.

Is Yunwei really that close to the Regent?

So, was this Qingyi Garden also prepared by the Regent for Yunwei?
Was she the regent's mistress?

A series of questions lingered in Lou Chao'an's mind. He wanted to ask, but couldn't bring himself to say them. Finally, he said with heartache, "You shouldn't belittle yourself like that."

Yunwei was baffled.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly turned and left.

"You're crazy!" Yun Wei scoffed coldly as she watched him walk away, then turned and went into the mansion.

……

As soon as Lou Chaoan returned to his residence, he went straight to find Yun Yao.

Yun Yao was overjoyed to see him come to her courtyard and greeted him with a beaming smile, "Husband, what brings you here?"

In all the years they've been married, Lou Chaoan has only stepped into her courtyard a handful of times.

But soon she noticed that Lou Chaoan looked strange, and the joy on her face faded a little. "Husband, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Lou Chaoan said in a deep voice, "You want Yun Wei to marry Lou Junyi?"

Upon hearing about this, Yun Yao frowned slightly. How did he know?
Last time, when she arranged for Lou Junyi and Yun Wei to meet, she didn't announce it for her own selfish reasons.

Could it have been someone from the second wife's family who told him?
But that doesn't make sense either. He has always looked down on Lou Junyi and almost never sets foot on the second wife's territory.

As if remembering something, a cold glint appeared in her eyes. "Did Yunwei tell you?"

"Never mind how I know. I'm just asking you, is this really true?" Lou Chaoan's expression was cold.

Yun Yao bit her lip and said with a wronged look, "I did it for her own good. She's divorced, and it's really hard for her to marry into a good family again. It just so happens that Junyi is willing to marry her, so I mentioned it to my mother. My mother also likes my second aunt's family, so she arranged for the two of them to meet."

Why are you acting like you're accusing me? It's as if I've committed some heinous crime.

Lou Chaoan said coldly, "Outsiders may not know what kind of character Junyi has, but do you think you don't understand? What's the difference between you letting Yunwei marry him and pushing her into a fire pit?"
I never imagined you could be so malicious.

Yun Yao's face paled, and she looked at him in disbelief. "You actually think that about me? I've wasted all my good intentions. Besides, if Yun Wei doesn't want to, do you think I can force her to marry you?"

Unexpectedly, she came to you to complain!

"If you hadn't forced her, would she have gone to meet Junyi?" Lou Chaoan's eyes were icy cold. Just thinking about Yunwei meeting Lou Junyi made him unable to suppress his anger.

Does someone like Lou Junyi even deserve to covet Yun Wei?
Yun Yao clenched her fingers tightly, but a bitter smile appeared on her face. "It must be Yun Wei who told you this, right? I didn't expect that this matter would make her so resentful. On the day of the meeting, she not only had a falling out with her second aunt, but also complained to you. I'm really caught in the middle."

If I had known this would happen, why would I have taken on this arduous task? Not only have I offended my aunt, but I've also caused you to misunderstand me like this..."

"Alright!" Lou Chaoan interrupted her impatiently and warned in a deep voice, "I'll let it go this time, but I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our marital relationship."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao was furious. He actually came to warn her for that bitch Yun Wei.

Otherwise, what about the relationship between husband and wife?

Who is Yunwei to him that makes him care so much?
Yun Yao clenched her fists to suppress the anger surging in her heart, and asked in a casual tone, "Why is my husband so concerned and anxious about Yun Wei's matter?"

Lou Chaoan frowned slightly, and said calmly, "She is, after all, your sister. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be where you are today. Now that she's divorced, you shouldn't kick her when she's down."

Yun Yao's expression changed. "What are you saying, husband? How did I kick you when you're down?"

Lou Chaoan looked at her sharply, "Yun Yao, don't treat everyone like fools. It's not like others can't see what you're thinking."

You'd better watch yourself!

After saying that, he didn't want to stay a moment longer and immediately turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Yun Yao felt a chill run down her spine. Did Lou Chao'an know what was on her mind?
Did he know she hated Yunwei?
Furthermore, Lou Chaoan's concern for Yun Wei's affairs is definitely unusual.

She recalled the time after Yun Wei's divorce, when she returned to the Yun family for the first time and had an argument with Yun Qi, and how Lou Chao'an spoke up for her.

Was it because he knew that Yun Wei was going back that he suddenly suggested going to the Yun family that time?
Realizing this, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Although she didn't want to believe it, judging from Lou Chao'an's many unusual signs, he had ulterior motives towards Yun Wei.

Yun Yao was both shocked and furious.

It must be that bitch Yun Wei who took the opportunity to seduce Lou Chao'an.

She's going to ruin her!
……

Yun Wei was unaware of Yun Yao's thoughts. One day, she suddenly received an invitation from the Duke of Chen's mansion.

As Tian'er handed the invitation to Yunwei, she muttered, "Could this Chen State Duke's Mansion be Chen Yuniang's maternal family?"

Yunwei opened the invitation, glanced at it, and nodded. "It's her family home."

Upon hearing this, Tian'er frowned. "So, the Chen family has already regained its noble title?"

"Hmm," Yun Wei replied casually.

Previously, the Chen family's plans to revive were affected and put on hold because Chen Qi was involved in a murder case. Unexpectedly, the Chen family has regained its title so quickly. It seems that they have connections in the court. She underestimated them.

The fact that she was suddenly sent this invitation now is undoubtedly the work of Chen Yuniang.

It seems that Chen Yuniang wanted to take revenge on her during the Chen family's banquet.

However, how did the Chen family know that she lived in Qingyi Garden?
She immediately thought of Yun Yao.

After all, Yun Yao and Chen Yuniang used to be like-minded, so if Chen Yuniang wanted to find out where she was, she could start with Yun Yao.

Tian'er couldn't help but get anxious. "Now that the Chen family has regained its title, and suddenly invited Miss to a banquet, they definitely have ulterior motives. It might even be Chen Yuniang's idea."

Yunwei reassured her, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

“But Miss, the Chen family has now regained its title and is not what it used to be. Chen Yuniang dared to invite you to the banquet, so she must have something to rely on. I’m worried that she might do something to harm you,” Tian’er said with concern.

"At worst, I won't go," Yun Wei said nonchalantly.

She didn't even consider a duke's mansion a threat.

Upon hearing this, Tian'er felt relieved. "That's right, if she invites us, do we have to go?" But then she thought again and hesitated, "What if they use their power to force Miss?"

Yun Wei chuckled, "Don't overthink it. They only recently regained their titles, so they wouldn't dare to be too arrogant."

“Miss is right.” Tian’er was finally completely relieved.

Don't say that the Chen family has just been restored to their noble status and dare not be too arrogant. Even if they were arrogant, it wouldn't be a big deal. Doesn't Miss know the Regent?
The Duke of Chen's mansion was simply not strong enough in the face of the Regent.

Sweetie felt more and more at ease the more she thought about it.

On the day of the banquet at the Duke of Chen's mansion, Madam Xu and Yun Yao, who had not appeared for a long time, came to visit again.

"...Why are you dressed so shabbily? Do you think the banquet at the Duke of Chen's mansion is only for ordinary people? Dressed like this, you probably won't even be able to get through the gates of the Duke of Chen's mansion."

Upon entering, Madam Xu noticed Yunwei's simple attire and immediately showed disdain, launching into a barrage of criticisms.

Yunwei was surprised that after their last meeting ended badly, she still had the nerve to show up at her door.

She thought that Madam Xu was at least somewhat tough, but she had overestimated her.

Uncle Chen, standing to the side, said helplessly, "This old servant tried to persuade them to leave, but they insisted on forcing their way in."
