responsibility?

Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but find it a little funny when she heard those two words.

She only came to the Jiang family to save her life, carrying the letter that Zhang Ping had sent her. She hadn't done anything, but Jiang's mother made her take all the blame.

To be honest, she was unwilling.

“Aunt Jiang, I didn’t do anything. I went there just to clarify things. It’s not my business, and I can’t make assumptions about it,” Shen Mingzhi stated clearly.

She glanced back at the two children.

In this era where mistakes are made at the drop of a hat, she needs to cherish her life and protect it even more.

However, Shen Mingzhi's attitude angered Jiang Yinyin.

Jiang Yinyin pointed at Shen Mingzhi's nose, but before she could utter a curse, her mother pulled her aside.

Jiang's mother's sharp gaze swept over her, and Jiang Yinyin immediately understood and dared not speak again.

Jiang's mother patiently said, "Just go over there and explain things clearly. You're a smart person. If you explain things clearly, we'll all have a way to survive."

"Um."

Shen Mingzhi responded softly, and then she slowly rolled out of bed.

Having just given birth to twins, Shen Mingzhi is currently very weak!

She even complained that she was as slow as a snail and had no strength.

"Sister Wang, help her up. And also! Find her a hat!"

Although Jiang's mother didn't like Shen Mingzhi, she was a new mother who still had to go to the military for her son and husband. If she didn't take good care of Shen Mingzhi, she would be in trouble.

If something happens on the way, or if someone sees her, she might become the subject of gossip.

As soon as Jiang's mother gave the instructions, Wang's wife immediately followed them.

She helped Shen Mingzhi up, put a hat on her, stuffed cotton in her ears, and then wrapped her in a military overcoat before they went out.

Jiang's mother instructed Jiang Yinyin, "We'll all go with her. You and Sister Wang should take good care of her and make sure nothing happens to her, understand?"

Jiang's mother patted the back of Jiang Yinyin's hand and emphasized her words, so how could Jiang Yinyin dare not listen?

And so, the group arrived at the military headquarters.

Shen Mingzhi exerted a lot of effort to get to the second floor. There was no elevator at the moment, which exhausted her.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard people talking.

"Having illicit sexual relations is a serious crime!"

"And she's the widow of a martyr, that's a heinous crime. The circumstances are so serious, she could be executed on the spot..."

The martyr's widow was having illicit affairs; isn't this a reference to her relationship with Jiang Shaochen?

Shen Mingzhi couldn't stand what was being said after that. She rushed in and said, "You can't just talk nonsense without investigating properly. I came here with my husband's will to ask his comrades for help!"

After shouting those words, she took out the suicide note that Zhang Ping had left for her from her pocket.

Before she could even show them the suicide note, Shen Mingzhi felt dizzy and her steps became unsteady!

She stumbled, but fortunately a pair of strong hands behind her caught her.

It's Jiang Yinyin.

Jiang Yinyin's tone revealed a hint of displeasure, "Shen Mingzhi, can't you be a little more capable? Don't collapse before you've even explained things clearly!"

Shen Mingzhi grabbed a chair in front of her to steady herself.

As a woman who has just given birth to two children, the fact that she can stand here is already quite an achievement in my opinion.

But now is not the time to argue about these things with Jiang Yinyin.

Shen Mingzhi quickly took out Zhang Ping's will, "You all talk about how a martyr's widow is all day long, but I have never enjoyed the treatment of a widow for a single day!"

When no one answered the suicide note, Shen Mingzhi slammed it on the table.

It was military stationery, and only military personnel had the right to use it.

The two men in military uniforms standing nearby were dumbfounded!

"Madam, please sit down and talk slowly." One of the men immediately helped Shen Mingzhi sit down. "Quickly, get her some water!"

Another man picked up the kettle and ceramic cup to pour water.

Shen Mingzhi stopped them: "I didn't come here for a drink of water. Didn't you take Commander Jiang and his son Jiang Shaozhen away? The Jiang family has been exceptionally kind to me. Even though their eldest son, Jiang Shaoan, is already dead, they are still willing to fulfill their son's last wish to help me. If it weren't for them this time, I would have lost both my child and my body!"

"The Jiang family took me to the hospital, helped me sign the papers, and even took me home to take care of me. What did they do wrong? Why did they have to execute Jiang Shaochen?"

Shen Mingzhi's face was dark, and she was extremely cold.

The two men looked bewildered. "We didn't say we were going to execute Jiang Shaozhen!"

Another man said, "Ma'am, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

mistake?

Shen Mingzhi wasn't buying it. She grabbed a man by the collar, ready to go all out—

"You two just said that having illicit relationships is a serious crime, and you're also widows of martyrs. Aren't you referring to me and Jiang Shaozhen?"

"The Jiang family only helped me, and they're already suffering this much misfortune?" Shen Mingzhi was dizzy, but she still forced herself to stay calm. "According to your logic, does everyone who helps me have to suffer this much misfortune?"

“My husband is dead, but he sacrificed his life, it’s not my fault. The way you’re doing this isn’t just spreading rumors that I’m a jinx, it’s bullying a widow like me!”

Shen Mingzhi went from anger to sobbing and crying, repeatedly accusing, "I just gave birth, and you treat me like this? Aren't you bullying us, a widow and orphan, with no one to back us up? I want to see your leaders!"

Shen Mingzhi opened her mouth wide and shouted louder and louder.

These two men had never seen anything like this before, and for a moment, they were caught off guard and flustered.

At this moment, Shen Mingzhi also helped Jiang Yinyin out.

Jiang Yinyin immediately understood and joined the queue.

"My elder brother has only been gone for a short time. Before he died, he told us that if his comrade's wife came looking for him, we must take good care of her."

“My eldest brother is gone. My second brother thought that the most important thing in life is loyalty and righteousness. He only took pity on this Sister Shen, who was an orphan and a widow. But you all did it! You actually used this as an excuse to arrest my brother and father!”

"Everyone says the military and the people are of one mind, but I think someone is deliberately making a fuss to kill my brother!"

"The Jiang family is my greatest benefactor. If something happens to my benefactor because of me, I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life. I might as well just kill myself in your office!"

With Shen Mingzhi's deliberate hype and Jiang Yinyin's cooperation, the entire building is now filled with their cries and screams.

These two men were in a real bind.

Finally, the leaders were alerted.

As soon as the leader entered the room, he saw Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Yinyin crying and screaming as if their hearts were breaking.

To everyone's surprise, the moment Shen Mingzhi saw the badge on his chest and the shoulder insignia, she rushed straight at him and asked, "You're the leader?"

"I am."

When the leader saw Shen Mingzhi, she was wearing a hat and had cotton stuffed in her ears; she was a woman who had just given birth.

How can a woman who has just given birth have such great strength?

Shen Mingzhi quickly approached the leader, "Jiang Shao Chen..."
