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

Jiangzao pricked up her ears and listened more carefully.

She wanted to find out who the woman communicating with Lu Yanxun was.

To hear more clearly, Jiang Zao opened the door a little wider.

Unbeknownst to her, some sharp-eyed people had already noticed the crack in the open door.

Lu Yanwei hurriedly shook Lu Yanting's arm: "Quick, quick, stop talking..."

"What's wrong? Why didn't you say anything?" Lu Yanting frowned deeply, looking at her sister disapprovingly. "Sister, why are you so worried about brother? How can you be a traitor at a time like this? Don't you want to take care of your nephew?"

Lu Yanting, who was once labeled a "traitor" by her great-grandmother for mentioning Su Xinyue, knows what kind of fate awaits a "traitor".

"I'm not..." Lu Yanwei shook her head nervously, frantically trying to signal to her younger sister, "Anyway, don't say anything for now..."

"I'm going to say it!"

Lu Yanting shook off her sister's hand and stood up from the sofa.

She was ready to make a good impression on her great-grandmother.

Today, she is determined to completely reverse her "traitor" image in her great-grandmother's eyes!

"Great-Grandma!" Lu Yanting stood tall and proud, taking her side loudly, "I will always stand by your side! I agree with you that my brother shouldn't be corresponding with other women while married!"

"Tingting is so sensible." Great-Grandma looked at Lu Yanting with satisfaction and praised her earnestly.

Receiving this praise from her great-grandmother made Lu Yanting even prouder than receiving an award at school.

Lu Yanting didn't forget her purpose and took the opportunity to curry favor with her great-grandmother: "Great-grandmother, I really like my sister-in-law. When she has a baby in the future, I would like to help take care of the baby."

Great-Grandma nodded in agreement: "Learn from the adults first, and then try to take care of them."

Lu Yanting was as happy as if she had received an imperial decree from the Empress Dowager.

She stood between her older brother and sister, giving each of them a smug look.

"Sister, it's not too late for you to turn back now, but things have already changed at home," Lu Yanting advised Lu Yanwei.

Lu Yanwei looked at her with an expression as if she were an idiot.

Speechless and helpless.

She had just tried to grab her younger sister, but before she could do anything, she suddenly stood up and started shouting.

Now that's done, it'll be hard for the person behind the door not to hear.

"What's with that expression?" Lu Yanting finally noticed that Lu Yanwei's expression was strange.

Her sister's expression didn't seem like envy or jealousy.

No matter how you look at it, it's blatantly calling her an idiot.

Lu Yanwei knew it was too late to say anything now, so she simply remained silent.

But she still kindly reminded her sister that her words had been overheard.

Lu Yanwei quietly pointed to Lu Yanxun's door.

Lu Yanting turned her head to look, completely unconcerned.

She turned pale with fright after just one glance.

"drink--"

Lu Yanting gasped sharply.

In her panic, she stumbled and fell headfirst into the empty seat next to Lu Yanwei.

She didn't say!

She didn't say anything!

Jiangzao definitely didn't hear that!

Yes, that's right, you definitely didn't hear it!

Unfortunately, Lu Yanting's inner monologues could only deceive herself.

—Because at that moment, everyone saw Jiang Zao's ear peeking out from the crack in the door.

Great-Grandma panicked.

She quickly sent the culprit, Lu Yanxun, away: "Xiao Xun, weren't you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy snacks for Xiaozao'er? Hurry up and buy more."

Great-grandmother nodded at Lu Yanxun, signaling him to get lost.

Although Lu Yanxun didn't quite understand why his great-grandmother wanted him to leave at this time, he still obediently got up and left.

"Sister, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see what good food they have."

Not wanting to be caught up in the impending storm, Lu Yanting grabbed Lu Yanwei and ran outside.

"Great-Grandma, we've gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick out some snacks for my sister-in-law too!"

Lu Yanting ran incredibly fast, and Lu Yanwei was almost pulled into the air by her.

Jiang Zao, who was about to overhear Lu Yanxun gossiping with the woman outside, was annoyed.

Why are they no longer talking?

She's waiting to hear it!

Ah!

What's going on with me getting stuck here?

Why would Lu Yanxun buy snacks at a time like this?

She doesn't like snacks at all!

And what about Lu Yanting and her siblings?

What are you doing?

Are you teasing her?

Jiang Zao was extremely upset that she didn't get to hear the gossip.

She ground her teeth hard, so angry that her heart was racing.

These people have gone too far.

They've gone too far.

Just as Jiang Zao was grinding her teeth and stomping her feet in anger, her great-grandmother arrived at the door, trembling.

"Little Jujube?"

Great-grandmother stood outside the door calling.

Jiangzao: "..."

Okay, she knew why they suddenly stopped talking.

It turns out I was the one who gave myself away...

Although the reason she couldn't hear the gossip was her own fault.

But this also shows that it was important for them to conceal the truth.

This also shows that the woman outside is very important, even more important than Su Xinyue.

Within seconds, Jiang Zao had already imagined an epic love story between Lu Yanxun and some woman.

Jiang Zao had always been curious about what kind of girl Su Xinyue was.

But now, what Su Xinyue looks like is no longer important.

She was more curious about what kind of woman had a legendary love affair with Lu Yanxun.

Now that it's been exposed, Jiang Zao doesn't want to hide it anymore.

He opened the door openly and asked his great-grandmother frankly, "Great-grandmother, who is the girl who is corresponding with Yan Xun?"

Instead of answering Jiang Zao's question, Great-Grandma took out her small cloth bag containing money from her pocket.

She smiled kindly and said, "Little Zao'er, Great-Grandma still has money here."

Jiang Zao shook her head and refused: "Great-Grandma, I don't want money. You've already given me a lot of money. Just tell me who Yan Xun's woman outside is."

Jiang Zao's comments to Lu Yanxun were purely gossipy and had no other meaning whatsoever.

She wasn't angry at him for corresponding with other women.

Really, she was just curious.

He wondered which other girl besides Su Xinyue could catch Lu Yanxun's eye.

Who doesn't love hearing gossip about handsome guys?

For example, she used to stay up until 4 a.m. in the alumni group just to snoop on the gossip about their school's most handsome and beautiful students.

At that time, she had no connections at all and relied entirely on the kindness and contributions of her alumni.

Now that the handsome guy's gossip is right in front of her, how can she not gossip to her heart's content?

Great-grandmother took all the bills out of her small cloth bag and stuffed them into Jiang Zao's hand without saying a word.

"Little Jujube, Great-Grandma will give you these first, see if it's enough." Great-Grandma ignored Jiangzao's question.

They were only focused on stuffing money into her hand.

Jiang Zao pushed the money back: "Great-Grandma, I don't want the money. Just tell me that Lu Yanxun has a woman outside."

However, Great-Grandma acted as if she hadn't heard anything and pulled Jiangzao towards her room.

“There are still some in Great-Grandma’s room. Come with me, I’ll get them for you.”

"Great-grandmother..."

Jiang Zao finally understood.

I knew I couldn't possibly get the truth out of my great-grandmother.

Jiang Zao understands her great-grandmother very well.

Lu Yanxun was, after all, her beloved great-grandson. No matter how much her great-grandmother scolded him, she would still protect him in crucial moments.

In order to protect his great-grandson's marriage, he spared no expense in bribing his great-grandson's wife.

Just to stop her from pursuing the matter any further.

Jiang Zao wanted to tell her great-grandmother that she actually had no feelings for Lu Yanxun at all.

No matter who Lu Yanxun is with outside, she won't be angry.

But fearing she might hurt the old man's feelings, Jiang Zao dared not reveal a single word.

"Great-Grandma, you don't need to give me money anymore. I won't ask anymore, okay?" Jiang Zao held her great-grandmother's hand.

To prevent her great-grandmother from continuing to give her money, Jiang Zao decided to hide: "Great-grandmother, I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to sleep."

Great-Grandma finally stopped giving irrelevant answers and hurriedly said, "Then go inside and sleep."

Then he watched as Jiang Zao went into the house.

After Jiang Zao returned to the house, her great-grandmother also returned to sit on the sofa.

But she felt uneasy.

I saw that Jiang Zao looked very disappointed when she said she was going inside; she was clearly heartbroken.

"Xiao Xun, you silly child! Why are you so disobedient!"

Great-grandmother sighed repeatedly.

Su Xiufen came home from get off work and heard her great-grandmother sighing as soon as she entered the door.

She quickly asked what had happened: "Grandma, why are you sighing?"

Great-Grandma quickly beckoned Su Xiufen to come and sit down: "Xiaofen, you're back just in time. I was worried about having no one to talk to."

"Your precious son has made a mistake!" Great-Grandma said with a hint of disdain and anger.

Su Xiufen became nervous upon seeing her great-grandmother's unprecedented reaction.

"What mistake did Yan Xun make?"

"he……"

Just as Great-Grandma was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something.

She glanced back at the door to Lu Yanxun's room.

Su Xiufen followed her great-grandmother's gaze and realized something: "Yan Xun is back?"

"You're back," Great-Grandma said irritably.

Su Xiufen's heart tightened: "Xiaozao hasn't come back?"

"Now that everyone's back, let's not talk here. Let's go to my room."

Great-grandmother stood up, leaning on her cane, and slowly led the way.

Su Xiufen glanced at the closed door again, then followed her great-grandmother with a heart full of doubt.

Jiang Zao didn't know Su Xiufen had returned. She locked the door as soon as she entered the room, then lay lazily on the bed, holding a cookie box and staring blankly at the ceiling.

"So Lu Yanxun had a secret lover. No wonder he lost patience and stopped pretending. He was keeping himself pure for her sake."

"Jiang Zao, Jiang Zao, do you know how despicable you are? You used despicable, shameless, and vile means to forcibly separate a couple. You... you are committing a sin, do you know that?"

"You've also caused two deaths..."

Jiang Zao threw away the cookie box and began to rub her belly repeatedly. "I can already foresee what will happen to your two children. The biological mother will leave the house and the stepmother will come in right after. When the stepmother has another child, your children might even be kicked out. After all, with a stepmother comes a stepfather."

"Jiangzao, you really are something else, you tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead..."

Jiang Zao was talking to himself while looking at the ceiling.

She thought not only about the child's fate, but also about her own.

The original plan was to get a divorce after postpartum recovery, but now it's very likely that it will have to be brought forward.

After the eavesdropping incident, Jiang Zao was very clear about her current value to Lu Yanxun.

In Lu Yanxun's eyes, she was just a vessel for carrying children, a tool for giving birth.

Once the baby is born, she can at most stay at the Lu family home for a month of confinement.

Want to use the Lu family's resources to recover your health?

She should just keep dreaming.

"Sigh, Jiang Zao, I don't even know how to scold you anymore."

Jiang Zao sighed and picked up the cookie box again.

"Luckily you still have money." Jiang Zao tightened her arms and hugged the cookie box even tighter.

Feeling the power of money, Jiang Zao's anxious heart finally found peace.

She steadied herself and sighed, "Money is still the best; money is the most loyal thing."

In Great-Grandma's room.

Su Xiufen had already heard the whole story.

After hearing this, I felt the same way as my great-grandmother—very uneasy.

She knew Jiang Zao's temper; she was afraid he was about to cause a huge scene.

"Grandma, what should we do now?" Su Xiufen asked with great worry. "Yan Xun is really something, he's already married and still... sigh!"

Su Xiufen was disappointed in her son's lack of progress, but she was also completely at a loss.

During the time Lu Yan was on his mission, Jiang Zao caused a scene at home many times.

Even if they told Jiang Zao how busy and difficult Lu Yanxun's work was and how he really couldn't come back, she wouldn't understand and would still do whatever she wanted and make a scene.

Now that Jiang Zao knows Lu Yanxun was communicating with other girls while he was away from home, she wonders what kind of trouble he'll cause.

It's not so bad if she just throws a tantrum, but I'm afraid she'll go on a hunger strike.

Great-Grandma thought for a moment and said, "What can we do? We need to make Xiaoxun correct his attitude, apologize to Xiaozao'er properly, and promise that he will never correspond with other girls again."

Great-Grandma continued, "Our family also needs to make a statement, to let Xiaozao'er know that our Lu family only recognizes her as our daughter-in-law, and no other woman, no matter who she is, can even think about entering our family."

Su Xiufen pondered her great-grandmother's words and felt that this was the only way.

So she said, "I'll listen to Grandma. I'll talk to the kids' dad and the two girls later."

Great-Grandma nodded: "Okay, Xiao Xun, I'll go and tell them."

On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Yanting was finally able to speak without restraint.

"Brother, we heard that Sister Xiaoyue came to our school to be a teacher. Did she come back for you this time?"

Lu Yanting had already changed her attitude the moment she stepped out of the house.

At this moment, she was clearly a "traitor".

"Brother, if you like Sister Xiaoyue so much, why did you marry Jiang Zao? I saw her today, and she's still so gentle and elegant. I wish my sister-in-law was like Sister Xiaoyue."

Lu Yanwei glared at her younger sister and mercilessly retorted, "Tingting, you're such a fickle person!"

Lu Yanting denied it: "I'm not a fence-sitter. I just like to tell the truth. Jiang Zao is prettier than Sister Xiaoyue, but she's not as gentle and elegant as Sister Xiaoyue... Everyone is hoping that Jiang Zao is gentle and elegant, as long as she doesn't act up."

Lu Yanwei curled her lips and sneered: "Why don't you say these things to Great-Grandma?"

Lu Yanting shuddered: "I wouldn't dare, Great-Grandma would beat me!"

"I'm just saying this in front of you guys, it's nothing," Lu Yanting said again.

Lu Yanwei ignored her and turned to talk to Lu Yanxun.

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

Lu Yanxun said indifferently, "Wait until you've finished speaking."

“I’m done talking,” Lu Yanting replied hastily.

Once away from home, Lu Yanting transformed back into a dutiful younger sister who listened to her brother.

"Oh, by the way, bro, by the way, what do you and Sister Xiaoyue talk about in your correspondence? Do you talk about when you're going to divorce Jiang Zao?"

Lu Yanting was also eager to know the latest developments regarding her brother and Xiaoyue.
