Su Yueya: "..."
What, do you expect her to sympathize with this?
Liu Dekai got his position in the army by relying on Mo Youyou, so isn't it normal for the mother and son to live off his wife and have to be subservient to him?
"I'm saying all this in the hope that you, Yueya, will feel better. Don't hold a grudge against me or Dekai. I know you've been wronged and suffered, but there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Crescent Moon, you're married now and living a good life. Why don't we just stay like this, each living our own lives, and stop making trouble for each other? What do you say?"
Zhang Cuihua observed Su Yueya's expression, and because Su Yueya hadn't said a word, Zhang Cuihua's heart was pounding.
I don't know if I can persuade Su Yueya!
"We've known each other for a few years, Crescent Moon. I'm begging you, please don't reveal what happened back then. Otherwise, Dekai's future will be completely ruined!"
"I beg you, I beg you!"
Seeing that Su Yueya remained unmoved, Zhang Cuihua hardened her heart and decided to resort to drastic measures.
"Crescent Moon!"
She made a move to kneel down, going all out, "I'm begging you, as long as you can forgive Dekai, I'll kneel down for you! I'll kneel down in front of you right now!"
Zhang Cuihua put down the vegetables and meat she was holding, and was about to kneel down—
When Su Yueya saw that she was serious, she was shocked and quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing?!"
Su Yueya was furious. Couldn't she see that Zhang Cuihua was putting her on the spot, trying to morally blackmail her into shutting up?
This is in a large compound, with people coming and going. If someone sees Zhang Cuihua kneeling before her, where will she and Lu Zhengjun put their faces?
If word gets out and someone with ulterior motives uses it to say that she forced an elderly person to kneel before her because her husband is the regimental commander, would Lu Zhengjun still be able to be the regimental commander?
"Get up!" Su Yueya grabbed Zhang Cuihua's arm, preventing her from kneeling.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Cuihua immediately realized that her ruthless tactic had worked.
She knew that Crescent Moon wouldn't watch her kneel.
"Crescent Moon, you still care about your mother the most!" Zhang Cuihua said, moved, wiping away non-existent tears.
"You're not my mother, Auntie. I wouldn't dare to claim kinship with you!"
Su Yueya returned the words Zhang Cuihua had said to her.
Besides, she now has a mother and a mother-in-law, both of whom are genuinely kind to her, people that Zhang Cuihua simply cannot compare to.
"Crescent Moon, deep down I really want you to be my daughter-in-law, but there's nothing I can do. Dekai is all grown up now, he has his own ideas, what can I do?"
"Crescent Moon, can you promise Mom you won't tell her what happened back then?"
Zhang Cuihua looked at Su Yueya eagerly, waiting for her to nod.
Su Yueya finally understood.
Is the apology fake, and you actually feel guilty?
Perhaps there was a tiny bit of cheap guilt, but the real reason why Zhang Cuihua came over to greet her and say these "heartfelt" words was that she was afraid that she would reveal her past and ruin Liu Dekai's future!
The real priority is to stop her from telling the truth!
Fortunately, Su Yueya had no expectations of the mother and son anymore, otherwise she would have been angry again after today's incident.
"Auntie, don't worry, I still have a reputation! I don't want others to know that I had a wedding with Liu Dekai. After all, all those relatives won't care who's right or wrong. It's always the woman who gets scolded."
Su Yueya really didn't intend to cause trouble at the military base. While it could indeed ruin Liu Dekai's reputation, it would also affect herself and Lu Zhengjun.
Rather than seeking momentary pleasure in revenge, she cherishes her current life more and doesn't want to put all those who genuinely care about her in the spotlight.
Now it's not just Lu Zhengjun and the Lu family anymore, but also the Qiao family.
Liu Yuying, Qiao Shouyan, and Qiao Gaoyang were also in the army.
Her affair has blown up, affecting the whole family, and people are bound to gossip about her after dinner.
"Besides, I'm already married to the Emperor. Making a big fuss about this wouldn't be good for my reputation, so you don't need to worry about me causing trouble. I don't have the time for that."
Su Yueya's tone was not without sarcasm.
However, she also kept a little suspicion in mind.
She only promised that she wouldn't cause trouble, but she couldn't guarantee whether her mother, husband, and two brothers would target Liu Dekai.
After all, they're all in the same system, and there will always be times when they run into each other.
Besides, Liu Dekai was only a deputy battalion commander, and his father-in-law was only a brigade commander. Which of her husband and relatives held a lower position?
Making things difficult for Liu Dekai is really as easy as turning your hand.
"Crescent Moon, thank you! Mom knew you were a good child!" Zhang Cuihua was overjoyed!
She wasn't wrong; Su Yueya was an easy target!
Even if they did something to wrong Su Yueya, as long as she apologized and softened her stance with a few words, and said some nice things, wouldn't she still obediently submit to them?
From now on, my son can rest easy!
"I'll tell Dekai when I get back that you're so kind-hearted. Mom is so grateful to you. Mom will also thank you on Dekai's behalf. Crescent Moon, you're the best, you're the most sensible!"
Su Yueya sneered.
That's right, sensible children don't get candy.
She's not just running out of candy, she's trying to kill her.
Fortunately, she has no further connection with Zhang Cuihua and Liu Dekai.
"I'll say it again, stop calling me my mother. I don't have a mother like you," Su Yueya said coldly.
Zhang Cuihua didn't mind at all; she was very happy.
“Okay, I won’t say anything. Here, Yueya, these are some vegetables I bought. Take them home and eat them.” Zhang Cuihua handed the vegetables to Su Yueya.
