Chapter 107

Hearing Sister-in-law Azhen’s words, Xia Qingning widened her eyes in disbelief, her face full of confusion.

Seeing her shocked and confused expression, Sister-in-law Azhen thought it was not good, she quickly asked, “Girl, you don’t know that Captain Lu was married before?”

Xia Qingning really didn’t know. Neither in the original book nor after she came here, she had discovered that Lu Jingzhe had been married to anyone besides the original body, herself. She was wondering if Sister-in-law Azhen had gotten the wrong person, when she saw her apologetically say to her, “Girl, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. Such a big thing, I thought you knew.”

The more she said, the more confused Xia Qingning became!

Azhen was also a little at a loss. Based on her understanding of Lu Jingzhe’s character, it was impossible for him not to tell the girl clearly before marriage! But looking at the girl’s reaction, it seemed like she didn’t know at all.

The words had already been said, there was no way to cover it up. After organizing her thoughts, Azhen asked, “Girl, you haven’t gone to join the army with Captain Lu yet, have you?”

Xia Qingning nodded, she guessed in her heart, had Lu Jingzhe been married to someone in the army before?

“Anyway, you’ll hear it from everyone when you go to the military compound. Sister-in-law will give you a heads-up here today, and let you have some mental preparation.”

Azhen said, pulling her aside, she found a small stool for her, so that she wouldn’t be tired standing.

“Captain Lu’s previous wife was not a good person, Captain Lu was forced to marry her.” Azhen continued, her tone full of undisguised disdain, “When he filed his marriage report, I was still living in the military compound. He filed the report, but he didn’t even go back home. We were all wondering, such a big thing as getting married, why didn’t he even go back home?

Later, we didn’t see his wife come to join the army either. Captain Lu didn’t go back, his wife didn’t come, this marriage was like it never happened. Just when everyone was curious, Mai Yajun, who lived in the same compound with him, was transferred to the military region, and we learned the reason from him.

It turned out that Captain Lu was tricked by that woman. That woman was originally the fiancee of Captain Lu’s brother, but she took advantage of Captain Lu’s drunken state when he went home to visit his family, and she…”

The more Xia Qingning listened, the more wrong it felt. Was the woman she was talking about not the previous original body, but herself now?

She thought Lu Jingzhe was divorced and then married her, no wonder she said Lu Jingzhe was a second marriage.

Having said this, Sister-in-law Azhen’s tone became indignant, she looked at Xia Qingning and asked, “Girl, how can there be such a shameless woman?”

How could she answer that? Tell her that she was the shameless woman?

Xia Qingning smiled, she felt incredibly awkward for a moment.

“Captain Lu had no choice but to marry her.” Sister-in-law Azhen didn’t notice that Xia Qingning’s expression had changed from confusion to awkwardness, she was still comforting her, “Girl, don’t worry, they didn’t have any feelings at all.”

Xia Qingning suddenly thought of something, she looked at Azhen and asked quickly, “Sister-in-law, do people in the military region know about this?”

“Everyone knows.” Azhen said confidently, “Captain Lu is very famous in the military region. He’s handsome, capable, and educated. The leaders value him, the soldiers admire him, the female soldiers like him, so naturally they pay more attention to his affairs.”

She had been holding on to a glimmer of hope, but after hearing Sister-in-law Azhen’s answer, Xia Qingning’s heart sank!

She had been thinking that after cleaning up this mess, she would go to join the army with him and start a new life.

She was a contemporary intellectual youth, with her knowledge, she could find a good job in the military region, right?

Haha, now it’s good, she hasn’t even gone yet, and her reputation is already ruined.

Sister-in-law Azhen beside her didn’t notice Xia Qingning’s embarrassment, she smiled and continued to say, “It’s good that Captain Lu divorced that bad woman, now he married you. I think he really cares about you. You two are so well-matched, you’ll have a good life together.”

Xia Qingning gave a smile that was uglier than crying, she thought for a while, and decided to tell Sister-in-law Azhen the truth, because she had something more important to ask her. So she looked at her, a little embarrassed and said, “That, Sister-in-law, Lu Jingzhe isn’t divorced.”

“Wh, what?” Now it was Azhen’s turn to be confused, she thought she had heard wrong. After reacting for a while, she seemed to think of something, she asked in disbelief, “Then, then you…”

Hearing her tone, Xia Qingning knew she had gotten the wrong idea again, she quickly explained, “It’s always been me who is married to Lu Jingzhe.” Then she pulled at the corner of her mouth, explaining unnaturally, “I am the bad woman you were talking about.”

“Ah!” After hearing Xia Qingning’s words, Azhen froze, her face full of surprise.

The girl in front of her was not only beautiful, but also polite and well-mannered, her clothes were elegant and tasteful. She didn’t look like the country girl that Mai Yajun described, who was rustic and ugly, uneducated, scheming, and only knew how to plot against Captain Lu.

“You mean, you are the… girl who filed a marriage report with Captain Lu two years ago?” Azhen looked at her in disbelief, she confirmed again.

“It’s me.” Xia Qingning nodded, giving a definitive answer.

“Then why did Mai Yajun talk nonsense?” Sister-in-law Azhen asked in confusion after getting Xia Qingning’s confirmation.

“He wasn’t exactly talking nonsense, there are some misunderstandings.” Xia Qingning didn’t know how to explain it to her for a moment, she thought for a while and asked the question that she was more concerned about, “Sister-in-law, I want to ask you about someone.”

“Oh, who is it?” Azhen looked at Xia Qingning curiously and asked.

Xia Qingning hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Do you know someone called Mo Xiaoxiao?” She thought for a moment and added, “Her father seems to be a deputy chief of staff.”

“You know Mo Xiaoxiao?” Azhen was obviously surprised after hearing Xia Qingning’s words.

She thought: She hasn’t even gone to the military region yet, how does she even know Mo Xiaoxiao?

Since she was specifically asking her about this person, she must have misunderstood something. She quickly explained to her, “Girl, don’t worry, Captain Lu doesn’t have any ulterior motives. He and Mo Xiaoxiao are completely innocent, there’s nothing between them.”

“I know.” Seeing Sister-in-law Azhen so nervous, Xia Qingning smiled, “I’m just curious about her, Sister-in-law, tell me about her.”

Xia Qingning had always been curious about the female lead in the book. After all, in the book, she was Lu Jingzhe’s destined partner. Now she was about to join the army, it was always good to learn more about her in advance, so that she would be prepared.
