The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

She had just seen Jiang Linghan coming over and hadn't reacted at first, but when she heard her mother greet him, she realized that this person was the regimental commander!

She immediately went into her room to change her clothes. Unlike Chang Ning, who could change her dresses all summer long, she only had one cotton dress that was neither new nor old. It was dark blue and had been made last year. She only wore it occasionally.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and tied her hair into two braids like Chang Ning's, but no matter how she looked in the mirror, she felt that she didn't have Chang Ning's charm.

She thought it was because she got tanned; as the old saying goes, "fair skin covers a hundred flaws."

She should wear a straw hat when she goes out, just like Chang Ning.

The mirror was small, only about the size of a palm, and no matter how she looked in it, she couldn't see her whole body. She hesitated in the room for a while, thinking about what to say to leave a good impression on him when she suddenly heard that sentence!

She couldn't believe it and rushed out to get an explanation, "Who did you just say? Chang Ning?"

Jiang Linghan saw her, nodded, looked away, and said, "Yes."

Tao Hongdou was both embarrassed and angry. She had just been showing off in front of Chang Ning. Luckily, she didn't say anything more, or Chang Ning would have laughed at her to death behind her back. But now she was in no better shape!

She had been dreaming of being the commander's wife for the past few days, but she never expected that her dream would shatter so suddenly!

How could you do this? You already agreed to go on a date with me!

Jiang Linghan said, "First, we haven't met. Second, even if we meet, things can turn out well or not. I already have a fiancée, so to avoid trouble, there's no need to bring this up again."

Tao Hongdou burst into tears, turned around and ran back to her room, feeling ashamed to face anyone.

"I'm not trying to be mean, Xiao Jiang, how could you do such a thing!"

Tao's mother realized what was happening, and her expression turned sour: "We had everything agreed upon beforehand, and your mother had also spoken to me. How can you go back on your word at the last minute?"

Jiang Linghan said, "Auntie, this is a new era. Marriage is about mutual consent."

"Moreover, what we said beforehand was just to meet and see if it didn't work out, so we didn't reach any verbal agreement."

"You've ruined my daughter's reputation! You absolutely have to give me an explanation!"

"Ouch!"

Before Jiang Linghan could speak, Yan Shuqin's voice came from outside the door, "You're using your daughter's reputation as an excuse again!"

"What's wrong? First you clung to my Chang Jun, and now you're eyeing my Ningning's fiancé. Why do you like staring at other people so much!"

What era are we living in? People are still talking about reputation when they've barely even met each other!

She knew Chen Baicui was going to cause trouble.

When Tao's mother saw her come in, she immediately flew into a rage: "You, Yan Shuqin, were you behind this? I was wondering why Hongdou suddenly fell at the door the other day. Did you put that stone there?!"

"Pooh!"

Yan Shuqin retorted, "Stop trying to smear me! Do you think everyone does such a despicable thing as you?"

"You say that's how she fell, which means it was destined by fate. Your Hongdou just wasn't meant to be!"

She really didn't put the stone there. It was right in front of her house, and it was obvious who was behind it. She wasn't that stupid, nor was she that kind-hearted. She originally planned to stop at the place where you take the oxcart at the village entrance, but she didn't expect to see Tao Hongdou fall down as soon as she stepped out the door.

What does this mean? It means this is the will of Heaven!

"I don't care! He was supposed to be looking after my Hongdou, but in the blink of an eye, he's hooked up with that brat Changning. Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on!" Tao's mother said, spitting as she spoke. "You have to give me an explanation, or I'll go talk to your mother!"

"Watch your mouth! We haven't even met yet, and you're already clinging to me. If we do meet, are you going to force them to marry your daughter?"

Yan Shuqin had long wanted to give him a good scolding. "You really have no self-awareness. Do you think everyone is as easy to bully as my Chang Jun? You still want an explanation? Are you really not afraid that I will expose all your dirty secrets?"

The fact that Tao Hongdou fell into the water has been known only to those two families over the years, which is more than enough for them!

Tao's mother's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly recovered, "Then go ahead and tell them, let's see who believes you!"

So much time has passed, and no one has seen it. What good will it do if someone tells her? She can just deny it!

"You're shameless!"

"you……"

"Mom, stop talking!"

Tao Hongdou suddenly rushed out, interrupting her mother. There was a man here, and her mother's words made her feel like she couldn't get married. She was almost ashamed!

Tao's mother was furious: "You brat, get inside!"

Who is she doing this for? Isn't it all for her future? If she lets this one go, where else can she find someone with such good prospects?

That brat is so useless!

Seeing Jiang Linghan's face ashen, she dared not act rashly again. In the end, she was only relying on that favor. The old lady had been dead for several years. If the old lady turned her back on her, there was nothing she could do!

"Xiao Jiang, since you say you're already engaged, I won't pursue this matter further. However, your family needs to find Hongdou another partner!"

Tao's mother said, "He can't be an ordinary person; he has to be at least a regimental commander like you!"

Yan Shuqin was dumbfounded. This person was really asking for an exorbitant amount. "Chen Baicui, you're too much..."

"Mother-in-law, please don't get agitated!"

Jiang Linghan looked at Tao's mother and said, "I'm going back to the army tomorrow. I'll discuss this with my mother, and I'll have her inform you when there's a result."

Only then was Tao's mother satisfied.

After the two left, Tao Hongdou cried bitterly, "Mom, they didn't even like me, why did you say those things at the end?"

She was so desperate she wanted to die!

"I should have just married the eldest brother of the Chang family back then!"

Tao's mother was exasperated: "What's so good about you marrying into that family! The Chang family's money is all spent on that wretched girl, there's no way you'll get any!"

"Besides, she's about to marry the regimental commander and become an official's wife. What about you? You're marrying a farmer. How can you hold your head high in the future?"

"Mom, stop talking!"

Tao Hongdou cried uncontrollably, feeling a mix of shame, secret anticipation, and intense jealousy, all of which flowed out with her tears.

After returning to the Chang family home, Jiang Linghan took his leave. Yan Shuqin said, "Ningning, go and see Xiao Jiang off!"

"Oh."

After greeting his future in-laws and elder brother, Jiang Linghan pushed his bicycle toward the village entrance.

Chang Ning followed behind him, looking him up and down.

He was wearing a white shirt and army green pants today, looking very neat and tidy. I just wonder if he was hot.

But her waist is really thin, her legs are so long, and her butt is so perky.

Jiang Linghan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Where are you looking?"
