Ye Nuan asked this question because she only saw a few medicine bottles on the windowsill in the room, but because it had been a long time, the instructions on them were no longer legible, and the paper on one of the bottles was crumpled, as if it had been soaked in water.

Ye Nuan casually picked one up, opened it, and found it was empty.

Liu's mother wasn't really sure either. She only knew that her daughter's health had been poor ever since that miscarriage, and that the hospital had prescribed some nutritional pills, but she couldn't remember the specific names of them.

Ye Nuan unscrewed three medicine bottles in a row. Only one bottle still contained two pills. Xu Zhaozhao smelled them, then poured them into her palm and examined them closely. They seemed to be ordinary vitamins.

There were no other medicines in the entire room.

This made Ye Nuan wonder if Liu Lihua's death was really normal.

To others, Liu Lihua may have been unable to bear the blow, which is why she chose to commit suicide.

But Ye Nuan still had some doubts. Hadn't they already agreed to adopt a child in the future?

If that's the case, then what was the reason for Liu Lihua's suicide?

Without evidence, Ye Nuan's suspicions are useless.

She was neither a relative of the deceased nor had the authority to investigate or interrogate, so she could only keep these doubts to herself.

After Liu Lihua's funeral was completed, Wu Xingbang finally returned.

Cremation is now being promoted, so the Liu family had no choice but to take Liu Lihua's ashes back to their hometown in Anshi.

Because she was Wu Xingbang's wife, she was naturally to be buried in the Wu family's ancestral cemetery after her death.

Wu's mother was initially unhappy, always feeling that this woman was unlucky, unable to have children, and now she had committed suicide, which was just causing trouble for the Wu family.

But Wu Xingbang didn't say anything, and Wu's mother didn't say anything either.

Moreover, Wu's mother knew what was good and bad; she still wanted to return to Anshi to live, and in the future, she would have to be mindful of the Liu family's feelings.

When Wu Xingbang returned, he cried uncontrollably. Even if the Liu family members were dissatisfied with him, they really couldn't say anything at this moment.

It could be said that the two were not meant to be, as Liu Lihua became pregnant twice but was unable to give birth to either child.

Especially the last time, he almost lost his life.

When Liu's mother came back and sorted through her daughter's things, she discovered that the wardrobe was almost entirely filled with her daughter's clothes, including skirts, pants, wool coats, and so on. It was clear that her daughter had spent a lot of money.

This alone shows that the daughter has never been wronged.

Actually, when Liu's mother came to take care of her during her postpartum period, she noticed that her son-in-law always gave in to Liu Lihua. The neighbors all said the same thing.

So now that Liu Lihua is gone, Liu's mother really can't vent her resentment on Wu Xingbang, after all, he never mistreated Lihua.

Ye Nuan stood outside the crowd, watching Wu Xingbang cry so miserably, and thought he was really good at acting.

Ye Nuan didn't believe that Wu Xingbang was really that heartbroken.

After the Liu family left, the family compound also took back the house that Wu Xingbang had borrowed, and he basically lived in the military camp from then on.

Wu Xingbang was depressed for a long time because of Liu Lihua's death. He worked very hard during training and always applied for dangerous missions.

Whether it was intentional or not, Wu Xingbang's reputation has been improving dramatically.

Although the incident between Wu Xingbang and Bai Ge didn't escalate into a major scandal, there were still some rumors circulating about it.

However, Bai Ge had already left the family compound, and Liu Lihua was also dead, so people stopped talking about it.

Ye Nuan suspected that Wu Xingbang was trying to create a persona of a devoted lover for himself.

But what's the point?

She only realized what was going on when she heard that someone wanted to introduce Wu Xingbang to a potential partner.

"Liu Lihua has only been dead for two months, right? Isn't that too fast?"

Gu Hanchuan washed his hands while talking to her: "Yes. It's only been two months. Right now, people are just asking around, but no one has explicitly said they want to introduce him to someone."

Do you think Wu Xingbang would be willing to go on a blind date?

"uncertain."

Ye Nuan glared: "Hasn't he always touted himself as a devoted and good man? If he really goes on a blind date, isn't he afraid of being gossiped about behind his back?"

"You think too much."

Ye Nuan continued to glare at him, dissatisfied.

Gu Hanchuan pulled her to sit on the sofa with him: "You have to understand that our identities are different. Some dangerous missions are usually chosen first for people who already have offspring. Wu Xingbang has no children, which is not a small matter. Also, this is a military family compound, which is different from other places. Whether Wu Xingbang goes on blind dates or remarries, it may not have anything to do with feelings; he may simply want to continue the family line."

Ye Nuan was speechless: "How can you say such shameless things so matter-of-factly?"

Even after being scolded by his wife, Gu Hanchuan wasn't angry.

“I’m talking about Wu Xingbang, not me. What I mean is, there are a lot of people who think like this nowadays. Look at our compound, how many couples got together because of feelings? Most of them were introduced by their hometowns or arranged by leaders in the army.”

Ye Nuan fell silent.

In fact, she knew that what Gu Hanchuan said was true.

If Wu Xingbang worked for a government agency, he might have to consider his reputation. Perhaps remarrying a year after losing his wife wouldn't be too outrageous.

But Wu Xingbang is a soldier. To put it bluntly, if he encounters danger outside, he won't even have anyone to visit his grave.

"Alright. Who wants to introduce Wu Xingbang to someone?"

“Several. But I think Wu Xingbang is a calculating person. He won’t agree if the other party’s family background doesn’t help him.”

Ye Nuan agreed with this point.

If he were to introduce a girl from the countryside, no matter how beautiful she was, Wu Xingbang would not agree.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Cai Ying has passed the physical fitness test and will be back in the next couple of days. Do you want to guess where he'll go?"

Seeing his smug look, Ye Nuan suddenly had a guess: "He wouldn't have come here, would he?"

Gu Hanchuan blinked and smiled happily: "Yes, we'll be partners from now on."

"What position?"

If it's a regiment, then there's not only a deputy regimental commander, but also a leader in charge of ideological work.

“Deputy Regiment Commander. His physical fitness test was fine. By the way, he also asked me to thank you. If it weren't for your help in conditioning his body, he might not have recovered so quickly.”

“It’s great. I think Gao Yun has a very good personality. Although she comes from the countryside, she’s not as short-sighted as many people. When I saw her buying new schoolbags for the two children, I knew why Cai Ying insisted on marrying her.”

Gu Hanchuan grasped her hand: "You care so much about Comrade Cai's family?"
