After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Her voice was gentle but full of grievance, and there was even a layer of mist in her eyes, which made her look particularly pitiful.

After hearing what she said, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Mingfang, and their eyes clearly said:

It turns out that since she is not my biological daughter-in-law, I won’t really love her.

Wang Mingfang obviously didn't expect that Xia Qingning, who had always been honest and stupid, would not listen to her and set a trap for her. After she realized what was happening, she hurriedly said:

"What are you talking about, kid? Everyone in the yard can see clearly what I did to you. You can't say such heartless words!"

After saying this, she turned to look at Zhao Cuilan and said righteously:

"Aunt Cuilan, you are a good person, but you are bad because of your mouth. Look at what happened today, why don't you apologize to Qingning quickly."

Wang Mingfang was indeed very capable. With just a few words, she shifted the conflict back to Zhao Cuilan.

Zhao Cuilan was unwilling to apologize to this useless country girl, but she was afraid that the second son of the Lu family would really take her to the police station, so she could only say to Xia Qingning unwillingly:

"I was wrong today. I shouldn't have said that to you. I'm here to apologize to you. Please don't hold it against me."

Although she could see that she was not sincere, Xia Qingning was still satisfied that she could save her face in public and let her admit her mistake.

"That's right. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Those who know you will think you are kindly reminding me, while those who don't will think you are deliberately bullying the younger generation." Wang Mingfang said with a smile.

This seemingly casual remark reminded Zhao Cuilan invisibly. As expected, Zhao Cuilan was fooled the next second and followed her words to make excuses for herself:

"Yes, yes, Jingzhe, Auntie is just kind-hearted. I just want to remind Qing Ning not to do anything that would let down your Lu family.

Think about how she got you to marry her, everyone knows it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Jingzhe's face instantly darkened. He frowned and clenched his fists unconsciously. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

No matter what the inside story was about his relationship with Xia Qingning, it was not a glorious thing for him, as a brother-in-law, to marry a sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family.

This is also the reason why he did not go home for four years after joining the army.

This is the Lu family's shameful family affair, but it was brought out in the open by an outsider without any scruples. Anyone with a bit of shame would feel ashamed.

Wang Mingfang deliberately brought up the topic, hoping to embarrass Xia Qingning through Zhao Cuilan's words, because she was disobedient and bullied her just now.

At this moment, the people around looked at Xia Qingning with a hint of contempt.

Lu Jingzhe's face turned pale and his anger was evident in his words.

Wang Mingfang realized that his goal had been achieved, so he pretended to be a good person and tried to smooth things over:

"Oh, why are you talking about this again? It's been so many years. My Lidong's children are so grown up now. They have forgotten all these things. No one is allowed to mention it again in the future, so as not to affect the relationship between the two brothers."

This guy is really cunning!

Xia Qingning sighed inwardly. Her words were flawless. She reminded Lu Jingzhe that he had been sorry to his elder brother by sleeping with his "sister-in-law", but also showed that they were magnanimous and would not hold it against him.

But Xia Qingning was no longer her original body without a mouth. She would not suffer this loss in silence. She looked at Wang Mingfang and asked back with a firm tone in anger:

"Aunt, wasn't it you who gave your son Lu Lidong the idea to get me into the bed of the drunk Jingzhe?"

This sentence contained too much information. After hearing it, everyone looked at Wang Mingfang in unison, with doubt and inquiry in their eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Jingzhe's eyes. He looked at Xia Qingning with a scrutinizing gaze and frowned slightly unconsciously.

Wang Mingfang's face suddenly changed. She didn't expect that Xia Qingning, who had always been submissive and stupid, would suddenly reveal the truth of the past. However, they had done it perfectly at the time. She knew that Xia Qingning would definitely not be able to produce evidence now, so she quickly calmed down and said in a bite:

"Hey Qing Ning, I know you want to restore your image in his heart now that Jing Zhe is back, but how can you put such a stinky shit pot on me.

When you first came, my husband Lidong and I were so nice to you. We never looked down on you because you were from the country. We were just waiting for you to reach the age to get a marriage certificate with you.

Who knew you would have such thoughts about Jingzhe and do such things, making the two brothers and even the entire Lu family laugh at each other. Afterwards, Jingzhe married you, and our Lidong didn't blame you. Auntie has never blamed you in these years, but now you say that it was me who asked Lidong to harm you. Alas! Qingning, you can't be so heartless!"

Wang Mingfang became more and more sad as she spoke, and in the end, she even started to wipe away her tears. People around her also began to point fingers at Xia Qingning, saying that she was ungrateful.

In fact, Xia Qingning had already expected this result before she told the truth. After all, the original person did not explain when the incident happened. It has been four years, and no one would believe it if she told it again.

However, her original intention was not to make people believe in her immediately, but to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts.

Seeing that public opinion was on her side, Wang Mingfang was even more fearless. She knew that Xia Qingning definitely had no evidence at the moment, so she deliberately said:

"Qing Ning, if you insist on saying that we harmed you, then bring out the evidence. As long as you can prove that we harmed you, not only can you call the police to arrest us, but Li Dong and I will also kowtow to you and apologize."

Xia Qingning really has no evidence now, so she can't say that the original book was written like this, but she has already made up her mind. Since no one believes her now, let them say it themselves.

"Whether you did it or not, you know it better than anyone else. Don't worry, there will be evidence soon. When the time comes, I'll ask you to remember what I said today." Xia Qingning looked at Wang Mingfang with calm eyes, as if she wanted to see through her hypocritical disguise.

Somehow, although she knew she had no evidence, Wang Mingfang felt a little guilty when she was looked at like this, and pretended to be calm and said:

"Then wait until you produce evidence."

Seeing Xia Qingning's certainty, different voices emerged in the crowd, and they began to doubt whether there was really some hidden story behind the "bed climbing" incident.

People who have done bad things always feel guilty. Wang Mingfang didn't want to cause any trouble. She was afraid that Xia Qingning would say something again. She looked at the crowd and urged:

"Okay, okay, everyone, let's go back and cook."

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone dispersed.

Lu Jingzhe's gaze swept across Xia Qingning and Wang Mingfang, and became murky.

Wang Mingfang seemed to have sensed something, and turned to look at Lu Jingzhe guiltily, but soon his expression became earnest again:

"Jingzhe, you must have had a hard time on the road. Let's go home." As he said that, he raised his hand to help Lu Jingzhe carry the bag.

"No need." Lu Jingzhe said in a cold voice. He avoided Wang Mingfang's hand and did not give her face.

Wang Mingfang's hand fell into nothingness, and his smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Lu Jingzhe ignored her and turned to look at Li Qiulian who had not left yet and greeted her:

"Aunt Li, are you and uncle okay?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine." Li Qiulian looked at Lu Jingzhe, whom she hadn't seen for several years. This face, which was somewhat similar to Su Hui, reminded her of her dead friend. She suddenly felt sad and her voice was choked.

After calming down a bit, Li Qiulian looked at Lu Jingzhe and asked:

"How is my runner-up doing in the army? He is not doing anything stupid or disobeying the orders of his superiors, right?"

"No, he performed very well." Lu Jingzhe said, and then continued: "Then I will come to see you when I am free."

"Okay, go back and rest." Li Qiulian nodded quickly.

After bidding farewell to Li Qiulian, Lu Jingzhe walked home. Wang Mingfang followed him eagerly and said:

"You kid, why didn't you send a telegram before you got home? Look, there's not even any decent food prepared at home, and your father is on a business trip..."

She didn't show that she was an outsider at all in her words and acted like the hostess of the house.

Lu Jingzhe suddenly turned around and interrupted her, asking in a stiff tone:

"Why are you here?"

Wang Mingfang didn't expect him to ask so directly. After a pause, she smiled and said:

"Oh, your elder brother and sister-in-law both have to go to work and are too busy to take care of the child. I'll help take care of the child. Your father is also busy and can't take care of Xiaoxue..."

"When are you leaving?" Lu Jingzhe obviously didn't want to hear her continue, so he asked directly without showing her any mercy.

Xia Qingning, who was following behind, couldn't help but applaud Lu Jingzhe in her heart. This man was not only not deceived by Wang Mingfang's hypocritical appearance, but also was very clear-headed.

Wang Mingfang didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to chase people away directly. She couldn't hold back the smile on her face, but she was always smooth in her words and deeds, and immediately made her attitude clear:

"I'll leave when the child is older. Jingzhe, I know it's not appropriate for me to live here..."

"If you know it's not appropriate, leave early."

Looking at Wang Mingfang who was choked by her words, Xia Qingning once again gave Lu Jingzhe a thumbs up in her heart.

Lu Jingzhe didn't give her the chance to continue speaking. He just ordered her to leave and walked into the house with his bag.

There was a chubby little girl about 10 years old in the room. She was sitting on a small stool, listening to the radio attentively and laughing silly from time to time.

"Xiaoxue, your second brother is back. He called you just now, but why didn't you come out?"

Wang Mingfang spoke to Lu Xiaoxue as she walked in, as if she had completely forgotten the embarrassment of being kicked out just now.

"Oh, stop making noise. I can't hear "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King" clearly." The girl said impatiently.

"Child, your own brother is not more important than you listening to stories." Wang Mingfang scolded lightly, looking like a loving mother.

Lu Xiaoxue was very unhappy to be disturbed by the sound again. She turned around with a bad temper and saw Lu Jingzhe putting the bag he brought back on the table. Looking at the bulging bag, Lu Xiaoxue's eyes lit up and asked:

"Brother, what good things did you bring back? Is there anything to eat?"

As she said that, she ran over quickly. She ran so fast that she didn't notice Xia Qingning who was just entering the room and bumped into her head first.

Lu Xiaoxue was strong and Xia Qingning's current body was too delicate. The huge impact hit her waist and abdomen directly. She was unsteady on her feet and her body tilted backwards. There was a protruding corner of the table next to her. Before she fell, she instinctively raised her hands to grab something she could reach.

Before she could grab anything, an arm stretched out. The arm was long and powerful, and it seemed as if it didn't need any strength, but just a light scoop, and pulled her into its arms.
