So she didn't ask him anything at the time, and just prepared a hot bath for him.

After arriving here, Lin Ying thought she would stay here with Zhao Qinghuai for the rest of her life, and she also thought that Zhao Qinghuai would only patrol, cut wood, and farm, and would never return to their dangerous old days.

It seems she was overthinking things.

Zhao Qinghuai had been carefully observing Lin Ying's expression, worried that she might be upset. Unexpectedly, Lin Ying didn't dwell on the matter, but instead asked:

"Are you aware of Song Jianmin's situation?"

Zhao Qinghuai nodded: "Yes, I understand. Old Wang told me."

While preparing the food, Lin Ying said, "I thought you were the one who investigated this matter, but I didn't expect it wasn't you."

Zhao Qinghuai chuckled: "It's not convenient for me, after all, I'm also a party involved. The credibility of what I find out isn't as high as others'."

Lin Ying couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, Song Jianmin really did 'that' with Qiu Yue?"

Zhao Qinghuai frowned as he thought of Song Jianmin: "Hmm. I heard from Lao Wang that Qiuyue ran back crying that day, and bumped into Song Jianmin on the way. After that, the two of them started to have some ambiguous feelings for each other."

Qiu Yue dreamt of romance and poetry, while Song Jianmin, knowing Qiu Yue's background all along, wanted to use it to climb the social ladder.

To be honest, the worst person among them is Song Jianmin.

Su Yun's transformation into who she is today is also inseparable from him.

If the investigation hadn't been thorough, no one would have known that Song Jianmin was such a cunning and calculating person. He routinely subjected Su Yun to emotional abuse at home, keeping her trapped in the cycle of being unable to have children.

Previously, he would show his appreciation for Cheng Jiaojiao at home, and even wanted Suyun to act as a matchmaker, wanting to do something to Cheng Jiaojiao.

Su Yun felt guilty for not being able to have a child with Song Jianmin, and she also hated Cheng Jiaojiao for seducing Song Jianmin.

Therefore, they fabricated the story that Cheng Jiaojiao seduced Song Jianmin.

Unexpectedly, after Cheng Jiaojiao left, Song Jianmin wasn't angry with Su Yun; instead, he treated her even better. However, he would always subtly mention things like, "If our child were still alive, this would be great," or "If we had children in the future, that would be great."

As time went on, Su Yun grew to hate Lin Ying more and more, while at the same time feeling increasingly guilty for betraying Song Jianmin's affection.

Therefore, once again, Song Jianmin casually remarked that Qiuyue's family was exceptionally well-off, and whoever married her would surely become a high-ranking official.

Su Yun remembered it and then tried to create conditions for the two of them.

Because Song Jianmin had said that even if she divorced him in the future, he would still support her.

Suyun has no son, no future. In her view, this is the best future.

But she didn't know that all of this was planned by Song Jianmin and Qiu Yue.

As for framing Zhao Qinghuai, it was because Qiuyue called home and overheard her father and grandfather talking about establishing an independent squad.

She knew this was an opportunity.

Qiu Lin didn't know about his sister's situation here, but casually said, "Isn't Qiu Yue also on the border? It's good that Zhao Qinghuai can take care of her."

Qiu Yue only then realized that Zhao Qinghuai was here.

Qiu Yue knew Zhao Qinghuai and knew he was very capable. She also knew that if Zhao Qinghuai were around, Song Jianmin would have no chance!

That's why she teamed up with Su Yun to devise this plan—a plan that could both frame Zhao Qinghuai and punish Lin Ying.

Qiu Yue took the blame upon herself, unaware that it was all the result of Song Jianmin's instigation. If he hadn't said that he was just a lowly battalion commander and unworthy of Qiu Yue, she wouldn't have done all this.

After hearing all this, Lin Ying felt a chill run down her spine.

I never imagined Song Jianmin would be this kind of person; he's absolutely disgusting.

Although Qiu Yue took the blame, Song Jianmin and Qiu Yue were breaking up a military marriage, so the army couldn't keep them. As for how they would be dealt with, that remained to be seen.

After all, Qiuyue's family connections are said to be quite powerful.

After hearing all this, Lin Ying was only curious about one thing: "Was Cheng Jiaojiao's affair involved with you?"

Zhao Qinghuai coughed lightly: "I only mentioned to Battalion Commander Cheng that his sister is always causing trouble, which is not good for his future. Moreover, with a troublemaker around, it will be difficult to find a spouse in the future."

Lin Ying understood. If it was just Su Yun saying that Cheng Jiaojiao seduced Song Jianmin, the military would naturally not believe it blindly and would investigate thoroughly. However, Song Jianmin would definitely say it was a misunderstanding, and in time, the matter would naturally be forgotten.

Therefore, Cheng Jiaojiao's brother felt that his sister had indeed caused him a lot of trouble, so he chose to take the opportunity to send her away.
