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

Chapter 140 Like a Viper

Yun Yao's lifeless eyes lit up the moment she saw him, thinking she had found a savior. Forgetting the pain on her face, she scrambled over and grabbed the hem of his robe. "Brother, it's me, Yun Yao! If you hadn't come, I would have died at Yun Wei's hands! She slashed my face and tried to kill me! Please save me..."

"Yun Yao?" Yun Qi looked at her in astonishment. "What happened to you, you look like this?"

Yun Yao perked up and pointed at Yun Wei beside her, saying, "She's the one who harmed me. You have to help me get justice!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qi looked at Yun Wei in surprise, "You..."

"What about me?" Yun Wei glanced at him coldly.

Yun Qi swallowed back his accusatory words, "N-nothing."

"Brother!" Yun Yao stared at him in disbelief at his cowardly behavior.

Yun Qi pushed her away and said with a look of disgust, "You're covered in blood, don't touch me."

Despite falling to the ground, Yun Yao still clung to the hope, saying, "Brother, won't you stand up for me? Yun Wei has ruined me like this..."

"What justice are you seeking? You ended up like this because you offended Yun Wei first. She had no choice but to take action against you. Since you did something wrong, you must pay the price." Yun Qi said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao's heart sank to the bottom, her face twisted into a grimace, and her eyes were fixed on Yun Qi.

Yun Qi felt uneasy under her gaze.

How come he never noticed how terrifying Yun Yao was before? Her eyes were like those of a venomous snake.

However, compared to Yun Wei, Yun Yao is still not good enough.

He scoffed inwardly, ignored her, and turned to Yun Wei, saying, "I know what happened today. It must be Yun Yao's fault. Don't worry, I know how to tell my parents when we get back."

Yun Wei raised an eyebrow at his shrewdness, remaining noncommittal.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao was so angry that her blood surged and her throat tasted metallic. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof." Then, everything went black before her eyes, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Yun Qi was startled and quickly bent down to check her breathing. Seeing that she was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yun Wei, "She's not dead. I'll take her back now."

"Mm," Yun Wei replied.

Despite his disgust, Yun Qi picked up Yun Yao and quickly threw her into the carriage.

The movements were incredibly clean, crisp, and fluid.

Shen was dumbfounded.

Yunwei's older brother is quite an oddball!
After Yun Qi left, Yun Wei remembered something and looked at Li Yanting.

Seeing that his clothes were stained with a lot of blood, he said, "Come in, I'll put some medicine on your wound and bandage it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen remembered Li Yanting's injuries and quickly supported him with concern, "Husband, are you in pain?"

Li Yanting: "..."

He looked at her with a complicated expression.

She probably only just remembered that he was still injured.

He shook his head. "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

Shen had indeed forgotten, and feeling guilty, she shouted loudly to Yun Wei, "My husband is bleeding a lot. I hope he hasn't been seriously injured. You should treat him quickly."

"Shut up!" Yun Wei's ears hurt from her voice, and she couldn't help but scold her in a low voice.

Thinking of the ruthlessness with which she had just slashed Yun Yao's face, Madam Shen immediately shut her mouth and dared not utter a sound.

This woman is not someone you should mess with.

Thinking of Yun Yao's fate, she felt incredibly fortunate that she hadn't offended Yun Wei too much in the past, otherwise she probably wouldn't have fared well either.

Upon entering the front hall, Yunwei examined Li Yanting. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, but it was a rather long scratch. Madam Shen was terrified upon seeing it.

Fortunately, the knife only cut his shoulder; if it had cut his neck or face, the situation would have been much worse.

Yunwei also thought of this. She originally wanted to say a few words to Li Yanting, but he was only scratched because he was helping her.

After thinking for a moment, she still advised, "Next time you encounter a situation like this, don't be foolish and rush forward again. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

Li Yanting didn't think much of it at the time. When he saw Yun Yao rushing towards Yun Wei with a fierce look on her face, he subconsciously stepped forward to block her.

He never expected that Yun Yao had a knife hidden in her sleeve.

Even knowing this, he would still stand in front of Yunwei.

He was also glad that he had shielded her from the injury; otherwise, Yunwei might have been the one who got hurt.

He's a man; this little injury is nothing to him.

Moreover, Yunwei had done him a great favor, and he couldn't find an opportunity to repay her. He was content as long as he could help her in any way he could.

"I understand," Li Yanting replied verbally.

Next, under Yunwei's guidance, Shen applied medicine to Li Yanting's wound and bandaged it.

"Don't let the wound get wet these next few days," Yunwei instructed.

"Okay." Li Yanting nodded.

When the couple took their leave, Yunwei asked Tian'er to give some silk fabric to Madam Shen.

Shen was flattered and said, "You don't need to be so polite." Although she said that, she did not hesitate at all and took the cloth that Tian'er was holding. She thought to herself: I'm rich! I'm rich!

Li Yanting tried to stop her, but Yun Wei stopped him, saying, "As long as she's happy, I'll have A-Zheng take you back."

Li Yanting had no choice but to give up.

……

The residence of the Marquis of Pingning.

When Yun Qi brought Yun Yao back to the manor, it still alarmed Yun Yueshan and Madam Xu.

"How did it happen?"

"Why is Yao Yao bleeding so much? Who did this?"

Yun Qi remained calm and had already prepared his explanation: "To be honest, it's her own fault. Why did she have to go to Qingyi Garden to cause trouble for Yun Wei? In the end, she didn't manage to cause trouble for Yun Wei, but instead got herself into trouble."

On her way back, she encountered several drunk men fighting. Foolishly, she rushed into their midst, and as a result, her face was slashed by the drunks.

"Don't worry, Father and Mother. I've already had the officials arrest those drunkards who were fighting. It's a way of getting revenge for Yunyao."

"What a silly girl. She must have been hurt by Lou Chao'an, which is why she was so distracted and got hurt by the drunkard." Xu looked at the unconscious Yun Yao, feeling both heartache and sadness.

"Isn't that right? If you ask me, the real culprit is Lou Chao'an. He actually disregarded the friendship between our two families and divorced Yao Yao without a second thought."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so provoked that she would have taken her anger out on Yun Wei and gone to find fault with her.

"I think she's petty and can't stand seeing Yunwei doing well. Now look what's happened—she ran into a drunkard and got hurt in the process." Yun Qi looked regretful and heartbroken.

Upon hearing that the drunkard who harmed Yun Yao had been arrested, Yun Yueshan stopped asking about it. "Alright, things are as they are now, there's no point in saying anything now. Let's hurry and find a doctor to take a look."

Madam Xu wiped away her tears and quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor.

Yun Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
