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

Before Jiang Zao could speak after Lu Yanxun finished speaking, Lu Yanting pouted with an indescribable expression and muttered, "Tch, who believes you?"

Lu Yanwei nudged him with her elbow.

Lu Yanting immediately smiled and changed her tune: "Maybe not."

Jiangzao sniffled her nose, which was red from crying, and remained silent.

She didn't believe it either.

She was more convinced that Lu Yanxun was deliberately saying that to keep her calm and get her to give birth to the child.

However, even if Lu Yanxun was lying to her, he was still giving her a way out.

She is not such an ungrateful person.

Okay, she'll go back with him first.

Eat well, drink plenty of water, and get a good rest. We can make proper plans tomorrow during the day.

She needs to rethink her future plans.

"No."

Lu Yanxun repeated in a low voice.

The voice was cool, but the tone left no room for doubt.

"Of course not," Lu Yanting said, forcing herself to support her brother.

It's getting dark, let's take him home first.

Compared to Lu Yanting's skepticism, Lu Yanwei trusted her brother more.

If her brother says no, then it probably is.

Lu Yanwei thought this way, and she said it.

He even coaxed her gently, "Sister-in-law, trust my brother. He's married to you now. You're so beautiful. With you by his side, who else could possibly catch his eye?"

Jiang Zao's inner thoughts: Heh, your brother didn't marry me because I'm good-looking. If I were really good enough for him, I wouldn't have resorted to such desperate measures as using donkey-hide gelatin.

Wait, it wasn't hers, it was the original owner's.

Oh well, it's all the same anyway.

Even now, in this situation, Jiang Zao still doesn't think Lu Yanxun is a superficial man who values ​​appearance more and would be lustful at first sight.

Of course, it wasn't because she knew Lu Yanxun well; in fact, she didn't know him at all.

Ultimately, they only spent a few days together, and it was a forced relationship for the sake of the child.

Without children, Jiang Zao probably wouldn't even see Lu Yanxun's shadow.

The reason I think this is simple: doesn't she know how she got him?!

Only Jiang Zao and Lu Yanxun knew how fiercely Lu Yanxun resisted that day.

If the drug hadn't been originally intended for donkeys and was so potent that he couldn't withstand the resistance in the end, she wouldn't have been able to succeed at all.

Recalling that day, Jiang Zao blushed.

Fortunately, it was already getting dark, so no one could see her blushing face.

But Jiang Zao still buried her face in Lu Yanxun's arms, feeling embarrassed.

Using Lu Yanxun's embrace as a cover to ease her inner embarrassment, Jiang Zao finally accepted the way out offered by the three siblings.

"Ah."

Jiangzao responded softly.

Her voice was soft and sweet from crying.

It sounds like they believe it.

Lu Yanxun breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "We're home."

"Mm." Jiang Zao nodded gently.

But secretly, I thought to myself, next time I go out, I must remember to bring my money.

You can't leave in the afternoon; you have to leave in the morning.

However, her impulsiveness today must be due to the influence of hormones.

Fortunately, the two little devils remained quiet throughout.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After calming down, Jiang Zao belatedly realized that she was afraid.

The belated fear made her feel cold all over. Jiang Zao shrank her shoulders and subconsciously snuggled into Lu Yanxun's arms.

Lu Yanxun noticed the movement of the person in his arms and slowed his pace: "Are you cold?"

"Hmm," Jiang Zao mumbled in response.

She would never say that she regretted her impulsive decision to run away.

"We're almost home," Lu Yanxun said in a deep voice.

"Mmm," Jiang Zao replied softly.

The two sisters, holding hands and following closely behind the two, were whispering to each other.

"Sis, has brother changed his mind?"

"My heart has never changed."

Lu Yanting released Lu Yanwei's hand with disgust, "Ugh, you're such a sycophant."

Lu Yanwei glared at her younger sister: "We have to trust our brother."

Lu Yanting retorted, "I've always believed in my brother, but he's the one who said he was corresponding with Sister Xiaoyue, right? Then he changed his story and said he wasn't corresponding. How can I believe him now?"

Lu Yanwei didn't refute her anymore. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Could it be that Sister Xiaoyue wrote to Brother unilaterally, but Brother didn't reply?"

"How could that be?" Lu Yanting said in disbelief.

"Why is it impossible?" Lu Yanwei retorted. "Then tell me, why would you marry your sister-in-law instead of Sister Xiaoyue?"

The two have discussed this issue many times.

There's still no result.

Now, after all the twists and turns, we've come full circle.

Lu Yanting couldn't answer.

The crickets' chirping ended with the problem that had been bothering them for more than half a year.

Ever since they learned that Jiang Zao had run away from home, Aunt Zhang and her daughter Zhang Guihua had been secretly keeping an eye on the Lu family's movements.

Shortly after Su Xiufen finished making the call, Lu Yanxun's father, Lu Mingrui, rushed back.

Lu Mingrui was always strict and rarely smiled. The children who played with him were all afraid of him from a young age.

Zhang Guihua noticed that Lu Mingrui's expression was very unpleasant, and he seemed very angry.

When he returned home, the Lu family's gate was tightly closed, and the entire Lu family courtyard exuded a solemn atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

However, Zhang Guihua was not afraid at all; she was even a little gloating.

She secretly thought that, judging from this situation, Jiang Zao was probably not far from being sent home.

You should know that Yan Xun listens to his father the most.

Jiang Zao's running away from home angered Yan Xun's father, who will definitely no longer like this daughter-in-law.

What family would like an immature daughter-in-law?

So what if you have a child?

Which woman can't have children?

Zhang Guihua was secretly pleased. She pretended to be enjoying the cool air in the courtyard while continuing to secretly keep an eye on the Lu family's movements.

It was dark by the time Lu Yanxun and his two younger sisters returned.

Of course, Jiangzao didn't come back either.

Just as Zhang Guihua was wondering if Lu Yanxun and his team would return empty-handed tonight, they came back.

She heard footsteps approaching from afar and quickly got up to go to the wall.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Lu Yanxun and the others appeared.

When Zhang Guihua saw that Jiang Zao was being held in Lu Yanxun's arms, her expression fell a little.

Pretending!

She probably knew that Yan Xun was reluctant to part with the child, so she deliberately let Yan Xun hold her!

Zhang Guihua secretly rolled her eyes at Jiang Zao, but pretended to be concerned and greeted Lu Yanxun.

"Brother Yanxun, you're back! We've found your wife too! That's wonderful! Is she alright?"

Zhang Guihua was speaking to Lu Yanxun, but he did not respond to her.

Lu Yanting answered first, "It's nothing, my sister-in-law is fine. She just got lost while taking a walk. Thank you for your concern."

Lu Yanting's tone carried a hint of hostility.

It wasn't that she disliked Zhang Guihua, but rather that she disliked Zhang Guihua's attentive attitude towards her brother.

Look at how enthusiastic she is! Although she's saying she cares about Jiang Zao, her eyes are actually fixed on her brother.

Lu Yanting had known for a long time that Zhang Guihua had feelings for her brother.

I never thought anything of it before, and I never paid attention to it. After all, how many girls in this residential compound don't like his brother?

But now, Lu Yanting has made a decision: she will be wary of any girl who is interested in her brother.

It doesn't matter whether she's Su Xinyue or Zhang Guihua.

No one is allowed to get near her brother again!

Even simple words of concern are not allowed!

She was about to become an aunt, and for the sake of her nephew and niece having a complete and happy family, she had to be vigilant.

Lu Yanting's blatant hostility was a blow to Zhang Guihua.

She gave an awkward smile and said, "It's alright."

She thought that even if Lu Yanxun didn't respond to her, he would at least nod to her.

As a result, he walked right past her with Jiang Zao in his arms, without even glancing at her.

This was a much bigger blow than what Lu Yanting had dealt her.

This gave Zhang Guihua a thorough shock.

She stood there, stunned, watching the group enter the Lu family courtyard.

The Lu family's gate opened and then closed again.

Zhang Guihua stood there for a long time, looking at the Lu family's gate in the distance. At this moment, her mood had plummeted to rock bottom.

Aunt Zhang finished cooking and came out to call Zhang Guihua, but when she got closer, she found her daughter looking worried.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Zhang asked in a low voice. "I think I heard you talking to someone just now. Did Yan Xun and the others come back?"

"Yes." Zhang Guihua nodded dejectedly. "Jiang Zao is back too."

"Oh, how is she?"

“Yan Xun carried her back. Tingting said she’s fine, and she looks great to me too.”

After saying this, Zhang Guihua turned and walked into the house.

"Huh?" Aunt Zhang hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

He glanced at the Lu family's house a few times before chasing after Zhang Guihua, "Guihua..."

The Lu family living room.

When Lu Yanxun, Jiang Zao, and the others returned, their great-grandmother and Lu Mingrui and his wife were anxiously waiting for them.

Great-grandmother was so anxious that she repeatedly offered to go out and look for him herself, but Lu Mingrui and Su Xiufen persuaded her not to.

Lu Mingrui repeatedly assured his great-grandmother that Lu Yanxun would bring Jiang Zao back safely, which finally calmed down his increasingly anxious emotions.

Time passed slowly, and the three generations of the family waited in silence.

Just as Lu Mingrui was about to decide that if Lu Yanxun didn't return in ten minutes, he would order people to go look for him, Lu Yanxun finally pushed open the door with Jiang Zao.

"Little Jujube!"

Upon seeing Jiang Zao return, Great-Grandma burst into tears.

She tried to stand up, but Lu Yanxun brought her to her side first.

Lu Yanxun placed Jiang Zao next to his great-grandmother and sat down with her.

"Great-Grandma," Jiang Zao called softly.

Her voice, hoarse from crying, had not yet returned to normal.

Her voice was very strained with sobs, and she sounded extremely pitiful.

Great-grandmother held Jiang Zao's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Little Jujube, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, your great-grandmother would have been doomed!"

Jiang Zao was moved by her great-grandmother's words and also felt guilty.

She apologized to her great-grandmother with guilt: "Great-grandmother, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry. It's all my fault."

Although her great-grandmother was so anxious that she cried, she didn't blame Jiang Zao at all.

"I'm glad you're alright. Great-Grandma doesn't blame you. Good child, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."

If anyone is to blame, it's Lu Yanxun.

Great-Grandma raised her fist and punched Lu Yanxun: "You little rascal! It's all your fault! You almost lost Xiaozao'er! If you don't find her today, you don't need to come back!"

"I'm sorry, Great-Grandma," Lu Yanxun apologized calmly.

He let his great-grandmother's fists pound on his chest again and again.

"Grandma, it's good that he's back. Don't be too angry," Su Xiufen comforted her great-grandmother, wiping away her tears.

She wasn't feeling sorry for her own son, but rather for her great-grandmother.

So Su Xiufen wiped away her tears and said, "Even if you're angry, don't hit me with your hands. It will hurt you if you hit me with your hands. If you want to hit someone, use a stick."

Lu Yanting chuckled when she heard her mother's words.

She pulled Lu Yanwei away to hide far away.

Watching Lu Yanxun being beaten by his great-grandmother, he muttered under his breath, "I've been beaten by my great-grandmother several times today. Humph, I'm getting what I deserve."

Lu Yanwei nodded, showing no sympathy for her brother either.

I did feel a little sorry for Jiang Zao when I saw her red and swollen eyes from crying.

"My sister-in-law's eyes are so swollen from crying, I wonder how my brother scolded her." Lu Yanwei said with considerable dissatisfaction.

Lu Yanting frowned as well, and stepped forward to complain to her great-grandmother:

"Great-grandmother, when my brother found my sister-in-law, he scolded her and made her cry. You should beat him to death!"

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother withdrew her fist halfway from Lu Yanxun.

She grabbed her cane and started hitting Lu Yanxun: "You dare to swear? What have I taught you? You disobedient little brat! Great-grandmother is going to beat you to death today! For bullying your wife! Let's see if you dare to bully your wife again!"

Lu Yanxun's arm was hit several times by his great-grandmother's cane.

Great-grandmother was angry and showed no mercy in her actions.

Each blow was very heavy.

Lu Yanxun didn't dodge at all, just quietly took the beating without saying a word in his own defense.

Jiang Zao nestled in Lu Yanxun's arms, watching the stick strike her again and again.

Although he didn't touch her at all, it still made her a little scared.

It feels like it will hurt a lot.

Seeing that her great-grandmother showed no sign of stopping, Jiang Zao finally couldn't resist and grasped her hand that was wielding the cane.

She took the initiative to plead for Lu Yan: "Great-Grandma, please don't hit him."

"Sister-in-law, he made you cry, and you still feel sorry for him?" Lu Yanting's eyes widened in surprise.

At the same time, a small surge of secret joy welled up inside me.

Is Jiang Zao trying to forgive her brother?

"I……"

Jiang Zao wanted to say that Lu Yanxun hadn't scolded her, but she was too embarrassed to say why she had cried.

Never mind, I can't bring myself to say it.

Or maybe we should just let Lu Yanxun continue to get beaten up.

"If you feel sorry for someone, just say so. There's nothing to be embarrassed about saying it." Lu Yanting chuckled.

Then, with a stern face, she glared at Lu Yanxun: "Brother, your wife was made to cry by your scolding, but she still couldn't bear to see you get beaten. Where can you find such a good wife?"

Lu Yanwei glanced at her younger sister, looking at her with an incredulous expression.

And you call her a sycophant?

Shouldn't she take a look at how servile she looks right now?

Tsk tsk.

When it comes to sycophancy, she is no match for him.

It has to be her younger sister, Lu Yanting.

“I deserve to be hit.” Lu Yanxun pressed down on Jiang Zao’s arm and pulled her hand back. “Don’t stop Great-Grandma. Let her hit her. Let her hit her as many times as she wants until she’s calmed down.”

Great-Grandma's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them a few times before finally returning to Lu Yanxun.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Great-Grandma asked.

"I know I was wrong." Lu Yanxun admitted his mistake frankly.

Great-Grandma put down her cane, sat up straight, and adopted the air of an ancestor, saying in a stern tone, "Alright, since you know you're wrong, then today I want you to make a statement to Xiaozao'er in front of the whole family."
