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

Chapter 91: Making Yunwei Lose All Face
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei immediately understood.

She had told Uncle Chen last time that she would refuse any visits from the Yun family.

Uncle Chen dared not disobey her wishes, but after all, Xu was her birth mother, and if she insisted on forcing her way in, Uncle Chen could not stop her too much.

Upon hearing what Uncle Chen said, Madam Xu's expression instantly turned ugly, but she held back her anger and instead said in a tolerant tone, "Last time we just had a few words exchanged, did you really take it to heart? What mother and daughter don't bicker? It's over, let it go."

“Yes, sister, don’t hold it against Mother. She’s only doing this for your own good. Look, today the Duke of Chen’s mansion is hosting a banquet, and the first person Mother thought of was you. She just wants you to show your face in front of those noble ladies, which will be very beneficial for you when you look for a husband in the future.” Yun Yao, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly stepped forward and affectionately took Yun Wei’s arm.

Yunwei withdrew her hand in disgust. "Don't try to get close to me. Our relationship isn't that good. Also, don't think I don't know what you're up to. The fact that the Duke of Chen's mansion is hosting a banquet for me today is something you and Chen Yuniang conspired to do, isn't it?"

Yun Yao's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Sister, you've misunderstood. The Chen family's invitation to you has nothing to do with me. Besides, I don't have that much influence to make them take the initiative to invite you."

Yun Wei sneered, not wanting to waste words with them, and directly gave them the order to leave, "You can leave now, I won't go to the Chen family."

“Why not go? Such a good opportunity…” Madam Xu frowned, then, thinking of something, she earnestly advised, “Are you worried about the unpleasant thing that happened between you and Chen Yuniang at the Li family? Actually, you don’t need to worry. Since they specially sent you an invitation, it means they don’t care about the past. Don’t keep dwelling on the past, lest people say you’re petty.”

Yunwei looked at her incredulously, "Just because someone sends me an invitation, does that mean I have to go? Haven't you ever considered that they might have ulterior motives? And you actually naively think it's a good thing?"

Madam Xu disagreed, saying, "You think too badly of people. The Duke of Chen's mansion is of such high status that it wouldn't stoop to arguing with a mere woman like you."

“If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t have invited me.” Yun Wei’s voice turned somber.

"So, sister is scared?" Yun Yao sighed, thinking she understood. "After all, the Chen family is not what it used to be. Even Chen Yuniang has risen in status. I heard that the Li family has already made her their official wife. She is not only a young lady of the Chen State Duke's Mansion, but also an Earl. She is very prestigious. Sister should indeed avoid her sharp edge."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu suddenly realized, "I see. Then forget it. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go."

Yun Yao smiled and said, "Then you can stay at home, sister. We'll go visit the Chen family and tell you about the fun things that happened at the banquet when we get back."

Yunwei gave her a mocking look. Was she trying to provoke her?

If she can't resist the urge, she'll definitely agree to go.

However, she didn't care at all and didn't take Chen Yuniang and the others seriously.

Moreover, if she doesn't go, the play they've prepared won't be performed.

"Uncle Chen, see the guest out!" Yun Wei instructed.

Yun Yao's expression changed slightly, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, you're really not going?"

Yunwei ignored her.

"Please, both of you," Uncle Chen said firmly as he stepped forward.

"Let's go." Afraid of upsetting Yun Wei again, Madam Xu didn't linger this time and pulled the sullen Yun Yao away.

However, as soon as they reached the gate of the mansion, they saw a magnificent carriage parked outside.

Just as the two were about to take a look, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a maid helped out a woman.

The moment they met, Yun Yao called out first, "Yu Niang!"

The person inside the carriage was none other than Chen Yuniang.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels, looking every bit the noblewoman. With the help of her maid, she slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"Madam Yun, Yao Yao!" Chen Yuniang greeted them with a smile.

"At first glance, I didn't even recognize you. I thought you were some important person who had come from somewhere," Yun Yao joked.

Xu recognized Chen Yuniang, and seeing her acting like this, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

If her daughter hadn't stepped down, how could she be so successful?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel resentful towards Yunwei.

She gave up being a duke's wife and insisted on asking to be divorced. Well, now that she's a concubine, she's suddenly become the wife. She's only here to humiliate her.

"What are you doing here?" Madam Xu's expression was not very pleasant.

Chen Yuniang didn't care, because her Chen family had already risen again, and the Lady of Pingning was nothing in front of her.

“My sister and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. Today, my Chen family is hosting a banquet, and I’ve come here especially to invite my sister to join us in the festivities.”

"You've put in a lot of effort, but Yunwei isn't the type to join in the fun, so I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Xu thought to herself, and said indifferently.

"Whether my sister goes or not, I should at least get to see her and say a few words to her," Chen Yuniang said with a smile.

No one can stop her from seeing Lady Yun today.

She couldn't wait to see Yunwei's jaw drop in astonishment.

Hmph, back in the Li residence, she was subjected to all sorts of torment and humiliation. Now the tables have turned, and she will make her lose face in front of all the noble ladies in the capital.

Thinking of this, before Xu Shi and Yun Yao could say anything more, she hurriedly walked towards the gate of Qingyi Garden.

However, she had her maids call out to the door for a long time, but no one came out to open it.

This Yun family is truly ill-mannered, actually turning away their distinguished guest.

Chen Yuniang suppressed her anger and had her maid negotiate with the gatekeeper again.

Looking at her disheveled appearance, Xu suddenly felt relieved.

Compared to Chen Yuniang, at least she could get through the door.

From this perspective, Yunwei wasn't too cruel to her.

Yun Yao also wanted to see Yun Wei humiliated by Chen Yuniang, so she stepped forward and said, "This is the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an. Quickly inform your master."

The gatekeeper ignored them completely.

This infuriated Yun Yao. "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

The doorman found it extremely amusing, but patiently said, "Our master has instructed that she does not wish to see any more guests today. Please leave."

Enraged, Chen Yuniang, a noble lady of the Duke of Chen's mansion and the wife of the Earl of Jing'an, was utterly humiliated by Yun's refusal to open the door. She sneered and said, "Guards, break down the door!"

Yun Yao was startled, but she did not stop her.

She was happiest to see Yunwei in such a disheveled state.

The Chen family was able to rise again, and Chen Yuniang was reinstated as the head of the household. As a result, she now travels with a large entourage, accompanied by many servants. At her command, a group of servants rushed forward, ready to break down the door.

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper's expression changed, and he quickly went to report it.

Just as the servants were about to break down the door, a cold shout suddenly rang out, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Chen Yuniang turned around and saw that the other person was dressed as a guard, but she didn't take it to heart.

She turned back and shouted at the servants, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and break down the door! Whoever can break down this door will be richly rewarded when we get back!"

With such a generous reward, brave men were sure to appear. Immediately, the servants all rammed into the gate of Qingyi Garden with all their might.

Yun Yao felt that the guard looked familiar and kept looking him over. Then, she finally remembered that he was the guard by the Regent's side.

Her expression changed drastically, but it was too late for her to stop it.

A three-foot-long sword flashed and pointed at the group of servants. "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you dare to trespass on a private residence? You have some nerve! All of you, come with me to see the magistrate!"
