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

Chapter 98 That was Rong Zhen himself.

When Li Yaoting saw that the man actually recognized him, he was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but when I was in the army, I often heard General Xu talk about Your Majesty's heroic deeds of killing enemy soldiers on the battlefield and protecting the country."

I deeply admire and respect Your Highness, and I have always regarded Your Highness as a role model to emulate. Therefore, I have never dared to slack off in the army for the past three years.

"Without Your Highness, there would be no Li Yaoting today."

His words were sincere and earnest.

However, Rong Zhen merely curled the corners of his lips, remaining noncommittal, while turning his gaze to Yun Wei.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, realizing what Li Yaoting was up to.

For his own benefit, he shamelessly flattered Rong Zhen.

If it were anyone else, he might have won their favor with this gesture, but unfortunately, the person he was flattering was Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen's attitude speaks volumes; he disdains Li Yaoting's actions.

"I understand. You may leave," Rong Zhen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoting's hope vanished instantly, and he felt somewhat ashamed.

His heartfelt statement just now failed to win the favor of the regent.

He felt a pang of resentment and couldn't help but glance at Yunwei.

But Yunwei didn't even look at him.

Seeing this, Li Yaoting felt hatred rising in his heart.

Since the Yun family is so heartless, then we shouldn't blame them.

"Yes." He replied, stood up, and then, remembering Chen Yuniang who was still being held by the authorities, he forced himself to say, "Your Highness, my wife is not a rebel, and she is still being held by the authorities. Could Your Highness please order her release?"

Rong Zhen was taken aback and looked at Yun Wei with a puzzled expression.

Before Yunwei could speak, Qingfeng spoke first: "Master, the other day, that Chen family brought people here to cause trouble and even tried to have them crash into the gate of the Yun family's mansion. After I stopped them, they actually turned around and reported it to the authorities, who wanted to arrest me and my men."

Left with no other choice, the subordinate had to reveal the royal palace's token.

After learning the details of the incident, the officials arrested Chen and took her to the authorities.

"That's exactly what happened. The Chen family is still acting arrogantly here because they've regained their title. They're trying to bully the Yun family." Sang Qing chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen looked at Li Yaoting, his expression authoritative without being angry, and said, "Your wife has quite the airs."

Li Yaoting was startled, "Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding? If we hadn't stopped them in time, the gate of the Yun Dong family's mansion would have been torn down by the Chen family that day," Sang Qing retorted.

“That’s right, there’s no misunderstanding at all. Back then, Chen was incredibly arrogant because she was a young lady from the Duke of Chen’s mansion,” Qingfeng added.

Li Yaoting was speechless after being refuted, and his face was very ugly. He could only look at Yun Wei again and say, "You know Yu Niang's personality. She likes to talk but doesn't actually have that much courage."

"The Chen Yuniang you're talking about is different from the one I know. That day, when Chen Yuniang came to my residence, she did indeed threaten to smash up my gate. Many people saw that. If Lord Li doesn't believe me, he can ask your servants." Yun Wei said calmly.

Li Yaoting wanted to say something more, but Rong Zhen impatiently interrupted him, "Your wife is so arrogant. Under the emperor's nose, she dares to let her servant break into a private residence. She has no respect for the law and is guilty of a heinous crime. Even if she is not a member of the rebels, she should be locked up in jail for a few days as a punishment."

Seeing that he was vaguely angry, Li Yaoting broke out in a cold sweat, shut his mouth, and dared not utter another word.

Rong Zhen ignored him and went straight into the mansion.

Seeing this, Yunwei followed her inside.

Li Yaoting watched helplessly, still unwilling to give up. He suddenly said, "Miss Yun, I forgot to ask you, last time I saw you walking with a man on the road, I wonder where that man is now?"

Yunwei paused in her steps.

Rong Zhen also stopped, turned around and glanced at Li Yaoting, his tone somewhat strange, "You care about me a lot?"

"What?" Li Yaoting was stunned.

Rong Zhen ignored him and turned to leave. Yun Wei curled her lips and gave Li Yaoting a disdainful look.

This scumbag is truly despicable.

He deliberately brought up the man from that day; was he trying to make Rong Zhen misunderstand her?

Unfortunately, his plan backfired.

Don't say that she and Rong Zhen had nothing between them; even if they did, so what?

After all, the man that day was Rong Zhen himself.

"You probably don't know, do you? The man from that day was none other than the Regent." Before entering, Yunwei deliberately revealed the truth.

Sure enough, Li Yaoting's face turned ashen in an instant, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Yun Wei scoffed coldly, played with the imperial edict in her hand, and entered the mansion.

The sound of the gate to Qingyi Garden closing pulled Li Yaoting back from his scattered thoughts.

He stared blankly at the tightly closed door, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The man from that day was actually the Regent?
How is this possible?
But he quickly recalled what the regent had said before entering the room: "You care about me?"
Therefore, that man was indeed the Regent himself.

But why did he dress up like that?
He recalled that day when he and Chen Yuniang not only mocked Yunwei, but also ridiculed him in front of the Regent for being old, ugly, and poor...

Thinking of this, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down, his face turning ashen.

Why didn't he recognize the Regent that day?

She was still so unruly in front of him.

Li Yaoting suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

No wonder the Regent didn't want to talk to him at all.

It turns out that he had offended someone long before today.

There is also the Yun family.

Little did he know that she was so capable that she managed to win over the Regent, a man who was averse to women and had a pure heart, and thus made an exception and granted her the title of County Princess.

The Yun family is truly skilled.

However, in his opinion, Yun must have used her beauty to win such glory.

No wonder she insisted on divorce that day; it was because she had hooked up with the regent, wasn't it?

Realizing this possibility, Li Yaoting felt both hatred and regret.

……

Inside the mansion.

Yunwei was already used to seeing Rong Zhen strolling around her residence leisurely.

Upon arriving at the front hall, Uncle Chen had already arranged for tea and snacks to be prepared.

Rong Zhen picked up the glass, took a sip, and then put it down.
After a moment of silence, he glanced at Yun Wei and said in a casual tone, "Master Yun, although my poison has been cured, I would like to ask you to take my pulse again to see if there is any residual poison in my body."

Yunwei was eating snacks when she heard this, and immediately shook her head. "There's no need to take her pulse again. The antidote I prepared will eliminate any remaining poison once she takes it."

Seeing her refusal so decisively, Rong Zhen pursed his thin lips and said, "You... you should examine me again, so I can feel at ease."

Seeing his insistence, Yunwei had no choice but to put down her snacks and stand up, saying, "I was just worried that you had only just recovered and might not take care of your health, so I told you to take it easy. You don't need to worry so much."

"What?" Rong Zhen asked, puzzled.

Yunwei had already walked up to him. Upon hearing this, she glanced at him but did not answer. Instead, she pulled up his sleeve and placed her hand on his pulse, carefully taking his pulse.
