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

Chapter 45 Summoned at will, dismissed at will

“The Third Young Master has been detained by the government officials, who say he is suspected of murder.” Chunxiang’s voice trembled. “It must have been last night, last night when the Third Young Master was handling the body, that the government officials caught him.”

Chen Yuniang's heart sank, and she also thought of this.

If that's the case, wouldn't she have harmed her third brother?
"Miss, what should we do now?" Chunxiang asked, her face pale.

She had a bad feeling when a dead body suddenly appeared in her room last night.

Later, the young lady called the third young master for help. She felt uneasy, but unexpectedly, something really went wrong.

"Let's go back to the Chen family first," Chen Yuniang said through gritted teeth.

The imperial court should have issued an edict today to restore the Chen family's title, but at this critical juncture, Third Brother got into trouble. If this matter cannot be suppressed, it may affect the restoration of the Chen family's title.

She belatedly realized that the person behind it all wanted to destroy her Chen family.

Chen Yuniang was filled with remorse; she shouldn't have asked her third brother for help last night.

Yilan Courtyard.

"Miss, Chen Yuniang has hurriedly left the mansion with her entourage." As soon as Tian'er entered the room, she reported this to Yunwei.

Yunwei hummed in agreement and continued reading the medical book.

"They seemed to be in a hurry, as if something serious had happened," Tian'er said thoughtfully. "Miss, do you think something might have happened to the Chen family?"

"How so?" Yun Wei asked calmly.

Tian'er was unaware that A-Zheng had placed the robber's body in Chunxiang's house that day, and she didn't intend to tell anyone, since the more people who knew, the greater the chance of it being leaked.

“That Chen Yuniang always talks about being the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chen’s family, as if she’s afraid others won’t know that her family is about to rise again. Just now, I saw her leave the mansion looking very flustered. I think that the Chen family’s rise may have taken a turn for the worse,” Tian’er guessed.

Yunwei nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"If that's the case, then we'll have a good show to watch," Tian'er said gleefully.

Yun Wei smiled slightly; the Chen family was indeed going to be quite "lively".

……

Chen Yuniang stayed at her parents' home for a day and didn't return until evening.

As soon as they entered, they were invited to Qiutong Courtyard by someone sent by Old Madam Li.

When Chen Yuniang entered, besides Old Madam Li, Shen Shi and Li Mingzhu were also in the room.

As she entered, three pairs of eyes turned to her, each with a different expression.

Chen Yuniang's heart skipped a beat. They must have invited her here to ask about the restoration of the Chen family's title.

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of irritation, but she couldn't turn back and leave, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, "Is Mother looking for me?"

Old Madam Li said kindly, "You must be tired after a long day out. Sit down quickly. Someone, go to the kitchen and bring that pear soup for Aunt Chen."

Seeing this, Chen Yuniang became even more uncomfortable and quickly said, "Mother, there's no need to bother. I'm a little tired and would like to go back and rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li frowned slightly, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "No rush, let's talk about your Chen family's affairs first. Has the imperial decree been issued regarding the title?"

Seeing that she couldn't avoid the issue, Chen Yuniang shook her head with a grim expression. "The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet, but this matter shouldn't change."

"What? The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet?" Before Madam Li could speak, Li Mingzhu's voice rang out sharply.

Chen Yuniang felt uneasy. What did her family's affairs have to do with her sister-in-law?
She suppressed her anger and said, "It didn't rain today, but it will definitely rain in a couple of days."

“You always say two days, how many two days have passed? I think there’s no hope for the Chen family to rise again,” Li Mingzhu said sarcastically.

Because of Chen Yuniang, her elder brother even stole her jewelry to pawn for money to buy her a wedding dress.

Her mother even gave her the jade bracelet she always wore, hoping that with the Chen family's resurgence, the Li family could also benefit. But after waiting so long, the Chen family's hopes for a comeback are about to be dashed.

It's likely that Chen Yuniang was just deceiving the whole family into being kind to her from the beginning.

Li Mingzhu grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she even wanted to kill Chen Yuniang.

Disappointment and displeasure were also evident on Shen's face.

All this time, she had been trying to please Chen Yuniang, thinking that she would also benefit from the Chen family's resurgence, but the imperial court simply did not issue any decree.

"Could it be that Yu Niang was just lying to us before?" Shen couldn't help but ask.

Madam Li's face was also gloomy.

If the Chen family has no chance of making a comeback, why did she offend the Yun family in the first place? She ended up with nothing.

Yun is at least a daughter of a marquis. In fact, as long as Yaoting treats Yun well, wouldn't the marquis's mansion support Yaoting?
The more Madam Li thought about it, the gloomier her face became, and she felt deeply that she had been fooled.

Seeing the three men looking at her with mockery, disappointment, or gloom, Chen Yuniang felt both angry and aggrieved.

A few days ago, when they thought her family could make a comeback, the three of them tried their best to please her. Now that they heard that her family might not be able to make a comeback, they immediately changed their attitude.

"Why would I lie to you? The imperial court has already drafted the decree, and it will definitely be issued in two days," Chen Yuniang said, suppressing her anger.

"Let's take another look." Madam Li's expression softened, and she waved her hand, her intention to drive him away clear.

Chen Yuniang was furious.

Is she someone who comes when summoned and leaves when dismissed?
But at this time, her family's situation was still unresolved, so she could only swallow her anger for the time being.

Back in the courtyard, she became increasingly angry and couldn't help but smash things up inside the house to vent her frustration.

These people are all snobs!
Just wait and see. Once her family regains its title, she'll see what kind of faces they'll turn out to be!
When the time comes, she will definitely humiliate them thoroughly!

Chen Yuniang's face was gloomy.

"Miss, didn't Master say that after you return, you should ask the Earl to think of a way to rescue the Third Young Master?" Chunxiang reminded her cautiously from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang suddenly remembered.

According to reliable information obtained by her father, the imperial court would issue an edict today to restore the Chen family's title, but she waited at the Chen family's house all day and still did not receive the edict.

Her father was convinced that something had changed and it must be related to her third brother.

If her third brother cannot be released without charge, the imperial court will likely have to re-examine the Chen family.

At that time, it's not certain that the title will be revoked.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuniang finally calmed down and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Lord now?"

"The study," Chunxiang replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang tidied herself up and went to the study.

At this time, in Yilan Courtyard.

Yunwei raised an eyebrow at the sudden arrival of Granny Zhang.

"Madam, this pear soup was specially ordered by the old lady to be made for you by the kitchen. The weather is dry right now, so drink more of it to soothe your throat and relieve dryness," said Zhang Mama, putting down the pear soup in her hand with a smile.

"Madam is so kind, but I don't need to drink these." Yunwei said, handing the bowl on the table to Tian'er. "Pear soup is good for the lungs and reduces internal heat. You've been feeling hot lately, so here you can drink it. You should drink it properly and not let Madam's kindness go to waste."

Tian'er took the bowl, looking flattered and overwhelmed. "You're too kind, Miss. This was stewed by the old lady for you."

"It's alright, the old lady is kind-hearted, it's the same for whomever she gives it, I believe she won't mind. Right, Granny Zhang?" Yunwei suppressed a smile and turned to look at Granny Zhang.
