The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

The news of Jiang Zao's premature birth spread quickly throughout the entire military compound, thanks to some loose tongue.

When Lu Yanxun's mother, Su Xiufen, heard the news, she was in the art troupe's studio directing the members' rehearsals. There were no fewer than a hundred people in the studio at the time.

The news of her daughter-in-law's premature birth caused an uproar in the studio. Ignoring the strange looks from her colleagues, Su Xiufen hurriedly told her superiors and rushed to the military hospital.

The news spread like wildfire, eventually becoming quite alarming. Other members of the Lu family soon heard about it, and Lu Yanxun's two younger sisters asked their teachers for leave and rushed to the hospital.

Actually, Jiangzao didn't go into premature labor; she just fainted from the pain of Braxton Hicks contractions.

After the doctor examined her, he gave her an IV drip of nutrition and told Lu Yanxun that there was nothing wrong with the child for the time being, but she would need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days.

"It's understandable that pregnant women experience emotional fluctuations during their first pregnancy, especially now that they are in the late stages. Family members need to be more patient and pay close attention to the pregnant woman's emotions, making sure she doesn't get agitated or subjected to any further stimulation," the doctor instructed.

Lu Yanxun glanced at Jiang Zao, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, and nodded expressionlessly.

After the doctor left, Lu Yanxun asked the nurse to look after Jiang Zao while he went to pay the hospital fees.

On the way, they ran into Su Xiufen and her two daughters who were traveling together.

Upon seeing her son, Su Xiufen anxiously asked, "I heard Jiang Zao was born prematurely? Has she given birth yet?"

Lu Yanxun shook his head and repeated what the doctor had said.

Su Xiufen breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally settling down: "Thank God, I thought I was really going into premature labor, I was so scared."

Although Su Xiufen didn't like Jiang Zao either and was very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, she was still the one her son had formally married. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she was still a daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Moreover, the child in Jiang Zao's belly is her real grandson.

She didn't want anything to go wrong, whether it was the ginger or the child.

Coming to her senses, Su Xiufen's face darkened again: "I don't know which heartless gossip spread this rumor. They can't stand to see our Lu family doing well. If I find out who it is, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

Once they confirmed that Jiang Zao was truly alright, her older sister Lu Yanwei and younger sister Lu Yanting were relieved.

But Lu Yanting, the younger sister who never treated Jiang Zao as her sister-in-law, still snorted in dissatisfaction: "If you ask me, it's all her own fault. Who told her to refuse to eat or drink and go on a hunger strike? She's using the child as a bargaining chip to cause trouble. She doesn't care about the child at all!"

The eldest sister, Lu Yanwei, also looked quite displeased: "Yes, ever since my brother left home, we don't know how many times he's caused trouble. This time he even ended up at the hospital. He doesn't act like a mother at all!"

Lu Yanting agreed with her sister and couldn't help but complain to Lu Yanxun: "Brother, what exactly do you see in her? Is it just because she's pretty? She is indeed very pretty, but she's just a pretty face. Underneath her beautiful exterior lies a belly full of bad intentions. How could you marry a woman like that? Sometimes I even suspect that she has some kind of leverage over you!"

Lu Yanwei nodded: "I also think you're bewitched, brother. You don't know what's so good about her, yet you insisted on marrying her back then."

Aside from knowing that their brother insisted on marrying Jiang Zao, the two Lu sisters only knew that the two of them had only known each other for a few days.

Unaware of the "deeper meaning," they assumed their brother was simply bewitched by Jiang Zao's pretty face.

They looked down on Jiang Zao, and the two sisters even joined forces to oppose it, but it was no use; Jiang Zao eventually married into their family.

Although it wasn't long after the marriage, her brother seemed to see through Jiang Zao's true colors as a troublemaker and began to neglect her, it was already too late.

My brother is a military officer, so we can't just get a divorce on a whim, especially since Jiang Zao already has a child.

The two sisters, unwilling to accept having such a sister-in-law, could do nothing but complain.

Lu Yanxun didn't want to bring up his past with Jiang Zao anymore, and said indifferently, "Alright, don't say anything more. She's in room 202 upstairs. Go see her when you have time. I'm going to pay the hospital fees."

Watching Lu Yanxun's departing figure, Su Xiufen whispered to her two daughters, "You two should say less in front of your brother in the future."

"I didn't say anything wrong," Lu Yanting said, dissatisfied. "How is Jiang Zao worthy of my brother?"

Not to brag, but her brother Lu Yanxun was the best-looking boy in the entire family compound since he was a child, and he was also the most outstanding when he grew up, earning military merits at a young age.

How many girls would fawn over her just to catch a glimpse of her brother?

She had long fantasized about what her ideal sister-in-law would look like.

She is a lady of good family, gentle, considerate, virtuous and kind.

The results of it?

Not only did she not possess any of the qualities of the ideal sister-in-law she envisioned, but she was also the complete opposite.

She caused chaos in the family shortly after marrying into the family; she was a complete troublemaker!

"Your brother told you not to say anything, so don't say anything. Let's go see her." Su Xiufen held one of her daughters' hands and prepared to go upstairs to see Jiang Zao.

The two daughters were unaware of the shady dealings between Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao, but how could Su Xiufen, as their mother, not know?

However, some things would have too great an impact if they got out, so she and the children's father had no choice but to keep quiet about them.

Every time Su Xiufen looked at her outstanding son and then at her daughter-in-law who had no morals or character, how could she not feel wronged and regretful?

Lu Yanxun felt wronged and regretful.

When the mother and her two daughters arrived at Jiang Zao's hospital room, Jiang Zao was still unconscious.

Although she disliked ginger and jujube, Lu Yanting still made sure to walk quietly as she passed by.

Glancing sideways at the sleeping Jiang Zao, Lu Yanting lowered her voice and mocked, "You look like a human being when you're asleep."

Lu Yanwei was amused by her younger sister's words. She went over to take a look and nodded in agreement: "It's true. I've never seen her asleep before. She doesn't look like the Jiang Zao we know at all."

Lu Yanting rolled her eyes: "Yeah, we usually only see her when she's all bared teeth and sharp-tongued. Sis, do you remember yesterday morning when we brought her breakfast, her eyes were glaring like she wanted to eat us alive? She was just like a she-devil!"

Lu Yanting not only spoke, but also made exaggerated gestures with her hands.

Lu Yanwei covered her mouth and laughed: "I remember, and the way he threw things was terrifying, like he went crazy."

Hearing the two whispering to each other, Su Xiufen interrupted them: "Stop talking, or you'll wake her up. If she hears you talking about her like that, she'll definitely cause you trouble."

Lu Yanting snorted defiantly, indicating that she wasn't afraid: "So what if she hears? Now that my brother is back, someone can handle her. I don't believe he'll let her continue causing trouble!"

Lu Yanwei also said, "She's always causing trouble and making a scene, all she wants is to see her brother. She probably won't cause any more trouble when her brother comes back."

Su Xiufen, who was already fed up with Jiang Zao's antics, shared similar thoughts with her daughter.

She sighed, "I hope things will be more peaceful in this family after your brother comes back."
