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

Chapter 272 How could you have the nerve to eat young grass like an old cow?
Yunwei was not surprised.

Although General Xu was loyal to the court, he was not confused.

She deliberately revealed the matter of the disaster relief funds in Yangzhou to Xu Yanyan last time, hoping to use her to tell General Xu.

Even if General Xu was unwilling to believe it, he couldn't resist his suspicions and was bound to investigate.

Once General Xu sees clearly what kind of person the emperor is, his loyalty to him will waver.

When the emperor decides to deal with Rong Zhen, he may not necessarily side with the emperor anymore.

If General Xu doesn't interfere, it will be easier for Rong Zhen to take his place.

"Princess Regent, can you help me... think of a way?" Xu Yanyan asked somewhat shyly.

Yunwei paused for a moment, knowing she couldn't help Xu Yanyan with her reluctance to marry the emperor.

She did have a fake death drug, but she had already used it to help Huang Liang and the other woman escape. If she used it again now, it would definitely arouse suspicion and even expose the fact that Huang Liang and the other woman were still alive.

After all, they were all involved with the emperor. If something happened to the empress, even a fool would be suspicious.

Yunwei thought for a moment and asked, "What does your grandfather think?"

“My grandfather is very disappointed with the Emperor’s actions and is also worried about the future of Wei. Naturally, he does not want me to marry the Emperor, but the wedding date is approaching and he has no choice.” Xu Yanyan’s voice was very low. After all, the other party is the Emperor. If she breaks off the engagement, the entire Xu family will probably be punished.

This is also the main reason for Xu Yanyan's distress.

If she's to marry just an ordinary person, and she doesn't want to marry him, she can simply run away from the wedding.

But the other party is the emperor, so she can't escape and will also implicate her family.

Yunwei didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Because she really couldn't help her.

After a long pause, she squeezed Xu Yanyan's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

Fortunately, Xu Yanyan understood and didn't blame her.

She smiled and said, "I know, I'm just really frustrated and want to talk to someone. Thank you for listening to me."

Yunwei chuckled, "No need to thank me, didn't you already treat me to tea?" As she spoke, she picked up her teacup and clinked it against hers.

Xu Yanyan's depressed mood instantly improved a lot.

She picked up her cup, drinking tea with the same boldness as drinking wine, and downed it in one gulp, saying, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, things will work themselves out! With my looks, the Emperor probably wouldn't even look at me. I'll just go to the palace and be a wooden stake."

“If he doesn’t like you, it’s because he has no taste. You are great, and you will definitely find your own happiness in the future,” Yunwei comforted her.

Xu Yanyan put down her cup and said with a bitter smile, "Once I enter the palace, I can't get out. I can only grow old and die in the palace."

Yunwei didn't want to reveal Rong Zhen's intention to replace her, so she only said, "Don't give up on yourself. After you enter the palace, you must not neglect your martial arts. You must continue to practice martial arts to strengthen your body. Maybe one day, your wish will come true."

Xu Yanyan took it as her comforting words and didn't think much of it. She simply nodded and said, "Thank you. I will continue to practice martial arts after I enter the palace. By the way, can I call you Sister Yun?"

She heard Xuan Yuanjing call Yun Wei that.

Yunwei shook her head. "No."

Xu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, her eyes dimming slightly, "I overestimated myself..."

"What do you mean by overestimating yourself? Don't talk nonsense!" Yun Wei said with a laugh. "After you marry into the palace, you'll have to call me Imperial Aunt. If you call me Sister, won't the generations be messed up?" Xu Yanyan slapped her forehead. "How could I forget that?"

Yunwei said, "If one day you get rid of your status as Empress, it won't be too late for you to call me sister."

Xu Yanyan felt that she was destined to grow old and die in the palace, with no chance of escaping her status as empress unless the emperor deposed her. But if that happened, she would be banished to the cold palace and unable to leave the palace.

However, not wanting to spoil Yunwei's fun, she happily nodded and agreed.

After spending time together today, she discovered that Yunwei was not as aloof and distant as she appeared. She was down-to-earth and very approachable, making people want to get closer to her.

As if she had finally found someone to confide in, she talked a lot with Yunwei, and their relationship grew much closer.

If it weren't getting late and they had to go back, Xu Yanyan would have liked to stay with Yun Wei a little longer.

"Can I come to the Prince's mansion to visit you tomorrow?"

As Xu Yanyan left the private room, she looked at Yun Wei with hopeful eyes.

"Of course!" Yun Wei nodded. "I'll also invite Xuan Yuanjing and Aman, and we can have a good get-together tomorrow."

Xu Yanyan was overjoyed.

Just as the two were about to go downstairs, a surprised voice rang out behind them, "Isn't this Miss Xu and the Regent's Consort? What a coincidence!"

Yunwei and Xu Yanyan turned around and saw Yu Shu and Feng Yin standing behind them, obviously having just come out of the private room.

Yunwei ignored the two of them and went straight downstairs.

Seeing this, Xu Yanyan ignored the two and followed behind her.

Feng Yin was furious, but could only lower her voice and curse, "That idiot Xu Yanyan was so easily bribed by the Yun family."

Yu Shu didn't say anything. After parting ways with Feng Yin, she went to the General's Mansion alone to find Xu Yanyan.

Xu Yanyan had barely stepped inside when a servant announced that Yu Shu was requesting an audience.

She frowned, not understanding why Yu Shu had come to see her, but considering that the two of them would be entering the palace together, she still had someone invite Yu Shu in.

As soon as Yu Shu entered, she began to praise Xu Yanyan.

"As expected of a daughter of a military family, Miss Xu has the demeanor of General Xu."

Xu Yanyan, however, was not buying it and said impatiently, "You came to see me not just to flatter me, right?"

Yu Shu choked for a moment.

No wonder he was raised to be a roughneck; his speech is truly vulgar.

Does someone like that deserve to be an empress?
A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she said, "Miss Xu, we will be serving the Emperor together in the future. I hope you won't hold such a prejudice against me."

Xu Yanyan drew her sword and slowly wiped it with a handkerchief. "So what if I have a prejudice against you? A good woman doesn't serve two husbands, but you're different. Not only did you serve the emperor of the enemy country before, but now you want to serve our emperor. Besides, you're so much older than the emperor. How can you have the nerve to eat young grass like an old cow?"

Yu Shu's face stiffened.

Serving the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom was a stain on her life, and she hated it most when people used it to belittle her.

She raised her chin and said, "I have endured humiliation for the sake of Wei, and you don't mention it at all. You are supposed to be the daughter of a military family, yet you are so narrow-minded."

"Knowing that I am narrow-minded, you still come up to me. What else is it but humiliation?" Xu Yanyan was not angry at all. On the contrary, she was very calm. However, when she sheathed her sword, the cold light flashing on the blade hit Yu Shu's face, making Yu Shu feel a chill in her heart.
