She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 73 Are you trying to get yourself killed by trying to trick me?

Huo Yisheng acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked even faster.

Yun Wanrou frowned, and deliberately softened her voice with a hint of coquettishness, quickening her pace to catch up: "Captain Huo, wait for me~"

She thought about the two times she had met Ye Shu, and she felt that the country girl had a kind of fragility and gentleness, just like... the gentle and noble aura of the delicate daughters of capitalist families in the past.

She sneered, thinking it was funny that a country girl was trying to imitate the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

But she wondered, since Ye Shu was able to defeat Huo Yisheng, did that mean that Captain Huo would fall for his tricks?

She used to think of herself as the most beautiful girl in the art troupe, and had her aunt and uncle as her backers, so she always had a high and mighty mentality and acted arrogantly and ostentatiously.

In addition, now everyone is shouting the slogan that women hold up half the sky, so her behavior has little to do with being weak.

But for now, she decided to play weak: "Captain Huo, please walk slower, I can't catch up."

Huo Yisheng turned a deaf ear and walked directly into the yard of Commander Zhao's house. He closed the gate, bolted it, and padlocked it in one go.

There was snow on the ground, which obviously had not been shoveled away in time. Although the snow was not deep, it was very slippery to walk on.

Yun Wanrou was anxious to catch up with Huo Yisheng, but she also had to be careful not to fall, so she didn't pay much attention to what was ahead.

So much so that when the heavy iron door closed in front of her, it almost pinched her fingers!

She withdrew her hand with lingering fear, gasped in shock, and looked up aggrievedly: "Captain Huo, you..."

But when she met Huo Yisheng's stern and majestic eyes, she shuddered all over, and everything she wanted to say or how to act was stuck.

Huo Yisheng's eyes were icy, and his words were cold: "You're trying to trick me in front of me, are you looking for death?"

"roll!"

After saying that, he walked towards Commander Zhao's house without looking back, knocked on the door, and went in.

When Xi Zhiling came to open the door, she saw Yun Wanrou standing outside the yard. Her face was pale and she looked aggrieved and about to cry. She was stunned immediately.

Her mind raced as she quickly glanced at Huo Yisheng, who had a stern expression on his face and kept himself away from strangers. Without saying anything, she let him in first, and then walked towards Yun Wanrou:

"Wanrou, why are you still standing outside? Come in quickly."

Seeing her aunt, Yun Wanrou couldn't help but feel red in the eyes, and cried out in grievance, "Aunt..."

Xi Zhiling was surprised. In her impression, her niece had always been tough and unyielding. In all the years since she came to the island, she had never shown such a weak side in front of her.

She quickly walked out and asked, "What's wrong? What wronged you?"

But when I saw the bolt and lock hanging there, I began to understand a little bit.

She quickly took the padlock and pulled out the bolt, then took Yun Wanrou's hand and led her inside while tentatively asking:

"Wanrou, what are you thinking now? Are you still thinking about Captain Huo?"

Yun Wanrou didn't expect her aunt to ask so directly. She originally wanted to admit it. After all, her uncle-in-law's position was higher than Huo Yisheng's. If she had her aunt and uncle-in-law supporting her, she felt that her plan should be successful.

But she suddenly thought of Huo Yisheng's cold and murderous expression and tone, and she felt inexplicably scared. She sniffed and lowered her head, feeling very aggrieved:

"No, aunt, I just called Captain Huo because of the Spring Festival Gala. Our captain said that he wanted to invite a few officers and soldiers to participate in the performance. I wanted to talk to him about it, but he..."

She bit her lip and said nothing more.

But even if she didn't say it, we are all smart people and can understand it.

Xi Zhiling could indeed understand that Huo Yisheng came in, but Yun Wanrou, who was right behind her, was locked outside the iron gate. The gate was bolted and locked from the inside, so it was not possible that Yun Wanrou locked herself outside.

She looked at Yun Wanrou deeply and asked, "Really? Is it just about the Spring Festival Gala?"

Yun Wanrou bit her lip and nodded in grievance: "Well, our troupe leader asked me to deliver a document to Division Commander Zhao. She is rehearsing the program urgently and can't leave."

Xi Zhiling didn't say anything more. She patted her hand and motioned her to go in first: "It's cold outside."

As soon as Yun Wanrou entered the door, Huo Yisheng had already walked out.

Commander Zhao walked side by side with him, with a solemn expression on his face, but when he saw the two men come in, he stopped talking and just exchanged a look that showed that they both understood each other.

Seeing this, Xi Zhiling knew that this was a matter within their army and did not ask any further questions.

He just smiled and greeted Huo Yisheng: "It's noon now, why don't you eat at home?"

Huo Yisheng looked at Xi Zhiling with a smile on his face, but he was respectful and polite:

"Aunt Xi, it's okay. I have to go back and have dinner with my wife. Otherwise, she will be lonely at home alone."

Xi Zhiling smiled and nodded: "Okay, I won't force you to stay, lest you blame me again."

She actually said this intentionally in front of Yun Wanrou.

Since Ye Shu came to the island, she had witnessed Huo Yisheng and Ye Shu's interactions several times, and heard Old Zhao always complaining about how little Huo cared too much about his young wife and had a tendency to become a henpecked husband.

Therefore, she now has a better understanding of Huo Yisheng's psychological condition.

He guessed that if she mentioned anything that could touch upon his wife, he would never let it go.

Therefore, she intentionally guided her in this direction, wanting Yun Wanrou to see with her own eyes how much Huo Yisheng cared about his wife, and wanting her to give up that little thought.

How could she not see that Yun Wanrou had not let go of Huo Yisheng yet? She hoped that by giving her some subtle advice, she could make the right choice wisely.

Commander Zhao, unaware of these twists and turns, smiled and said, "Tomorrow is Laba Festival. Call your wife over and let's have a meal together!"

Huo Yisheng was about to refuse, but Commander Zhao waved his hand, refusing to allow any refusal: "Alright, it's settled!"

Then he drove the person away: "Go and do what I just said! Business is important! Don't delay!"

Huo Yisheng glared at Master Zhao resentfully, thinking that the old man was doing it on purpose! He actually just wanted to see his wife!

Commander Zhao glared at him. "What's the matter? Your wife just made a contribution to our island number three! She's a heroine! Why don't you show it to me?"
