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

Chapter 136 Just don't offend this woman

Uncle Chen paused in his tea-serving motion, then shook his head with a smile, "No, it wasn't. This was prepared by our master himself."

"You bought it yourself? That must have been paid for by the Marquis of Pingning's household, right?" Madam Shen said matter-of-factly.

She knew that when Yunwei was born, due to the negligence of the servants, the two families' children were switched at birth. Yunwei, a legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, became a country girl and grew up in the countryside until she was recognized three years ago.

Therefore, she naturally assumed that everything Yunwei possessed was given to her by the Pingning Marquis's Mansion.

Of course, even though this house wasn't provided by the Marquis of Pingning's residence, it was definitely funded by them.

Although Yunwei did not grow up in the Pingning Marquis's mansion, it seems that the Pingning Marquis's mansion treated her very well.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

For her, the Pingning Marquis's mansion was an insurmountable mountain, while her maternal family...

Her gaze dimmed.

"This was acquired by our master through his own hard work, and it has nothing to do with the Pingning Marquis's residence," Uncle Chen explained.

Shen came to her senses, her face filled with shock. "You mean, this entire mansion was all acquired by Yunwei through her own abilities?"

“That’s right.” Uncle Chen nodded firmly.

Shen opened her mouth wide and looked at Li Yanting.

Li Yanting wasn't as surprised as she was.

In his opinion, Sister Yun was very capable. She could even cure him, who had been paralyzed for many years. It should be no problem for her to buy him a house.

After serving the tea and snacks, Uncle Chen stepped aside and said politely, "Please have some tea and snacks first. My master will be here in a little while."

Shen was deeply shaken.

Yunwei is really capable!
What did she do to earn such a large fortune for herself?

If she had known Yunwei was so capable, why would she have bothered with the Li family's meager assets before? She should have clung to Yunwei, this golden thigh, much earlier.

Shen felt a pang of regret.

Seeing that her expression changed several times in a short period of time, Li Yanting was afraid that she would lose her composure, so he squeezed her hand and reminded her, "Aren't you thirsty? Have some tea."

Shen thought to herself: When did she say she was thirsty?

However, looking at the exquisite and tempting pastries and the fine tea on the table, she couldn't help but swallow.

She needs to eat something to calm her nerves.

So she picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.

It has a mellow and sweet taste with a rich and fragrant aroma.

She nodded repeatedly.

Yunwei is indeed generous; she even served such fine tea to poor guests like herself and Li Yanting. She is truly wealthy and powerful.

After finishing her tea, she picked up a pastry and savored it carefully.

It's soft, chewy, and sweet—absolutely delicious!

"Husband, these pastries are delicious, you should have some too." Madam Shen picked up some pastries from the plate and brought them to Li Yanting's lips.

Li Yanting: "..."

He glanced at Butler Chen, who was standing to the side, his handsome face slightly embarrassed, but he still reached out and took the snacks.

Seeing that Shen's mouth was full of cake crumbs, he coughed lightly.

But Madam Shen ignored her and continued eating the pastries on her plate.

Li Yanting glanced apologetically at Uncle Chen, then took a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs of cake from Madam Shen's lips, whispering, "Madam, eat slowly."

Shen was taken aback.

Yunwei entered at that moment. Seeing the intimate actions between the couple, she couldn't help but look amused.

It seems the young couple has a very good relationship.

“Master,” Uncle Chen called out.

Shen came to her senses, her face flushed, and she quickly pushed away Li Yanting's hand. She stood up and greeted him with a restrained expression, "Yunwei."

Li Yanting put away the handkerchief, stood up, and bowed to Yun Wei, saying, "Sister Yun."

Yun Wei raised her hand slightly, "No need for such formalities, please sit down."

The couple then sat down again.

Yun Wei took her seat in the head seat, looked Li Yanting over, and asked, "How is your leg now?"

Speaking of this, Li Yanting stood up again and bowed to her solemnly, "My leg is now completely healed, thanks to Sister Yun for treating me."

He once thought his life would end like that, but unexpectedly, Sister Yun healed his leg, giving him the opportunity to rekindle his ambitions.

Thinking it over, he bowed again, "I will never forget Sister Yun's great kindness."

Seeing his reaction, Madam Shen also bowed to Yunwei, saying, "Thank you for curing my husband."

Seeing the two of them like this, Yunwei felt a little uncomfortable. "So, you came to see me today just to say these words of gratitude?"

Li Yanting knew that she was doing him a favor without expecting anything in return, but since he was able to stand up again and be reborn, Yun Wei was like a second parent to him. How could he not be grateful?

He smiled wryly and said, "I know you don't like hearing these things, but I'm truly grateful. Also, I want to thank Sister Yun for lending us the money. I wrote an IOU and even put my fingerprint on it. Please take a look." As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Wei.

Yunwei took the IOU and glanced at it, then said helplessly, "There's no need for that. I trust your character." With that, she tore up the IOU.

She didn't even care about a mere two hundred taels.

Of course, she didn't just give it away randomly.

Mainly, she knew that Li Yanting was an ambitious and kind-hearted person, and that he deserved her help.

When she gave it to the Shen family, she never intended for them to return it.

I deliberately mentioned borrowing it yesterday just so they wouldn't feel guilty.

Li Yanting was stunned by her actions, "Sister Yun..."

Ms. Shen was also stunned, not expecting her to tear it up so easily.

"Aren't you... afraid we'll renege on our debt?"

“If she were afraid, she wouldn’t have lent it in the first place. Besides, in this capital city, no one dares to default on my debts. I’ll make her pay back exactly what she took.” Yun Wei looked at her with a half-smile.

Ms. Shen choked.

Suddenly, I remembered that the day before Yunwei's divorce, she had given both Old Madam Li and Chen Yuniang a beating.

In addition, Madam Li was also poisoned by her and almost died.

Shen shuddered.

Just a moment ago she was thinking about currying favor with a powerful figure, but now she just wants to avoid offending this woman.

Seeing her frightened expression, Yun Wei paused and looked at Li Yanting, "Since you call me sister, don't be so formal and don't feel guilty. Since I've lent it to you, just take it without worry."

Since things had come to this point, Li Yanting didn't stand on ceremony any longer and said, "Okay."

Yunwei was very satisfied and asked Tian'er to pick out some tonics for the two of them from the storeroom.

"This...is for us?" When Madam Shen saw the pile of tonics that Tian'er brought, including Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, she stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe that such a good thing could happen.

"Are there other people present?" Yun Wei asked in return.

Shen swallowed hard, as if afraid that Tian'er would change her mind, and immediately took all the tonics from Tian'er's hands. Li Yanting wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

"Since it was given to us, it doesn't matter how we do with it, right?"
