Qiao Wanyue said softly, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lu's mother held her hand and patted it, her fierce expression completely gone. "Good child."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, let's go home."

With a wave of her hand, Mother Lu led her soldiers home.

Brother Lu and Sister-in-law Lu immediately took their positions and stood guard beside their mother.

They left.

The protagonist left, and so did the onlookers.

Mr. Qiao collapsed to the ground, completely dehydrated.

Qiao Wanyue whispered a few words to Aunt Taohua, then left, hugging the wall.

She took a shortcut through the back door. The Lu family lived in Xiahe Village, right next to the Qiao family brigade. When Qiao Wanyue arrived at the village entrance, Lu's mother and her two daughters-in-law were resting there. Lu's mother and daughter-in-law were reviewing the parts of their performance that they hadn't done well.

Qiao Wanyue emerged from the side path, startling the three of them.

"Daughter, what brings you here?" Lu's mother didn't dislike her new daughter-in-law; in fact, she liked her a little.

Qiao Wanyue walked up to them without saying a word, "Auntie, I'm worried that what Qiao Shanshan said is true."

Sister-in-law Lu was outspoken, "She's spewing nonsense. How could my Yunzhou, a hero, possibly..."

"Let Wanyue finish speaking."

Qiao Wanyue nodded gratefully to Lu's mother, "Sister-in-law, Aunt, let's not talk about feudal superstitions for now. Yunzhou hasn't come back from the engagement, and there hasn't been any news from him these past few days. I'm going to the county tomorrow to send a telegram to Yunzhou, telling him to be careful and stay safe."

In his previous life, news of Lu Yunzhou's sacrifice came back ten days after his wedding. He couldn't make it back on the wedding day; he had already arrived in the provincial capital when he was called back to carry out a mission, which was bound to be urgent and dangerous.

There was nothing Qiao Wanyue could do but warn him to be careful.

She thought of the water in her space; could she make some pills to bring to Lu Yunzhou?

She wasn't worried about losing her husband; rather, she felt the Lu family had suffered too much in their past life.

She didn't want the Lu family to repeat the same mistakes.

In his previous life, after Lu Yunzhou passed away, his elder brother went to the military base to collect his ashes. However, he did not return on the seventh day after Lu Yunzhou's death. The Lu family held a memorial service for him, during which Lu's sister-in-law discovered that Qiao Shanshan was having an affair.

She caught the thug, but during the struggle, she suffered severe bleeding and lost her three-month-old baby.

One unborn child, two lives lost.

When Lu Laoda rushed back with his younger brother's ashes, he only saw his wife's corpse and immediately went mad.

Unable to bear the blow, Lu's mother sent Qiao Shanshan to prison.

He passed away that day.

Lu's father's hair turned white overnight as he cared for his mentally unstable eldest son. Later, the two of them were beaten to death by the family of a thug.

The whole family died.

After a moment's thought, Lu's mother said, "Wanyue is right. I'll go back and write a letter to him, telling him the whole story. If he comes back, that's good. If something really happens, at least he'll know the truth."

"Wanyue, please don't take offense at what I'm saying. We've wronged you regarding Yunzhou's work. I swear to you, if anything really happens to Yunzhou, I will never force you."

But you must wait for Yunzhou for three months, and our Lu family will prepare a dowry for you and marry you off.”

Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "Auntie, you're too kind. I understand that you were thinking of me. I'm going to the county town tomorrow, so I'll tell you what happened. See you at the county post office tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The Qiao family still has a lot of things to deal with.

As she watched her departing figure, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu's mother's lips.

"Mom, Comrade Qiao seems much more reasonable than Qiao Shanshan."

Sister-in-law Lu is a straightforward person who doesn't understand those roundabout ways, but she knows who is sincere and who is fake.
