Gancheng, military family compound.
Song Ning has been resting well at home during this time. With the help of the spiritual spring water and the pregnancy-preserving medicine, this pregnancy is very stable.
She knew that Song Xue would not let this go easily. Last time, Huo Bei'an investigated her but found no clues. This time, she decided to take the initiative to lure her into a trap.
After she had recovered enough, Song Ning went back to the performing arts troupe.
Song Xue originally thought that Song Ning was definitely going to lose this pregnancy, but then she saw Song Ning in military uniform, reappearing in the army, looking radiant.
This reignited her jealousy.
She was preparing to drug him again.
However, Huo Beian had already noticed her attempt to drug him last time, so this time, she decided not to drug him herself, but to use a different method.
She sewed a child's purse, filled with some musk, and the purse was very exquisitely made.
That night, Meng Yuming escorted her back to her dormitory. On the way, Song Xue handed the purse to Meng Yuming. "Yuming, this purse is something I sewed by hand for Huo Beian's child. But Song Ning has a misunderstanding about me. I'm worried that if I give it to her, she might misunderstand. Why don't you take this and give it to Battalion Commander Huo?"
"Xiaoxue, you have such a kind heart. Last time Song Ning hit you, you repaid evil with kindness."
Meng Yuming felt extremely distressed at this moment.
"I don't care. After all, we are sisters. I can understand if the younger sister is being immature."
Song Xue nestled in his arms, feigning gentleness and virtue, "But Battalion Commander Huo has a misunderstanding about me. Please don't tell him that I sewed it, okay?"
"good."
Meng Yuming was deeply moved, so he bent down and kissed her lips. The two embraced and kissed passionately.
Song Xue felt the time was almost ripe. She was ready to give herself to Meng Yuming in order to get under his control. So she said softly, "Let's go to my dorm."
Is it really possible?
Meng Yuming, being a man of strong character, knew what her words meant. Although people were generally conservative in that era, his hormones were raging, and he couldn't care less about such things at that moment.
"Of course. But you must marry me in the future."
"That's natural."
So, Song Xue took Meng Yuming to her dormitory, and that night, the two of them were passionately in love. He didn't leave until they were almost at the military dormitory's curfew.
Once Meng Yuming tasted the sweetness, his love for Song Xue deepened even more.
The next morning, during a break, Meng Yuming bought some fruit from the supply and marketing cooperative and went to Huo Beian's house.
Song Ning happened to be away; only Huo Beian was home.
Meng Yuming came in carrying fruit.
"Battalion Commander Huo, I've come to see your wife."
"You've really made something of yourself, kid, you even bothered to come and visit?"
Huo Beian had always thought that Meng Yuming was somewhat naive and clueless, but he never expected him to be so unexpected this time.
"That's right. After all, I'll be working for you in the future. By the way, Battalion Commander Huo, this is a sachet I bought; it's for calming the nerves and helping with sleep. Your wife can wear it, or you can give it to the child later."
After saying that, he handed the exquisite purse to Huo Beian.
Huo Beian took the purse and immediately noticed a faint fragrance. "What's inside? It smells so good!"
"It's some traditional Chinese medicine that helps with sleep."
"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
After Meng Yuming left, Huo Beian didn't think too much about it and casually placed the purse on the bedside table.
There was a nail by the bedside where you could hang things, so he simply hung the purse there.
When Song Ning returned, she happened to brush past Meng Yuming.
Seeing Meng Yuming come out of her house, she was puzzled. As soon as she entered, she saw the fruit on the table and asked, "Honey, did Meng Yuming bring this fruit?"
"Yes, he brought them all."
Huo Beian wanted to bring up the purse, but at that moment the old man at the gate came over and said:
"Battalion Commander Huo, you have a phone call."
Huo Beian then went out and forgot about the matter.
That night, as Song Ning was going to bed, she sat on the edge of the bed and saw the purse.
"Wow, what a beautiful purse! Did my husband give it to me?"
She picked up the purse, looked at it, and liked it very much. Upon closer inspection, she noticed it had a pleasant fragrance.
Without thinking too much about it, she hung the purse back up there.
For the next few nights, Song Ning slept very restlessly.
That day, she had a nightmare in which she fell into an abyss and could not get out. Later, at the bottom of the abyss, she dreamed of a baby covered in blood crying and calling for its mother to save it.
She was so frightened that she sat up in the middle of the night. After waking up, her left eyelid kept twitching, and she felt uneasy.
Huo Beian quickly sat up and pulled her into his arms. "Wife, what's wrong?"
"I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights, and I keep having nightmares. I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen," Song Ning said, frowning.
"That shouldn't be the case. Meng Yuming said that the purse can help you sleep."
"A purse? What purse?"
This sentence made Song Ning more vigilant.
"It's this purse, I forgot to tell you about it the other day."
Huo Beian pointed to the purse hanging on the wall.
Song Ning stared at the purse and exclaimed in surprise, "This isn't the one you gave me? It's from Meng Yuming?"
"Yes, that day he came with not only fruit, but also this purse."
Song Ning immediately became alert. She grabbed her purse and then the scissors.
"Honey, is there something wrong with this purse?"
"I've been smelling a fragrance on this purse. I'll open it and see what's inside."
Song Ning picked up the scissors and, with a swift motion, cut open the purse.
There were several dark-colored Chinese medicinal herbs inside.
She picked up one of the pieces and examined it closely, only to discover that it was actually the legendary musk!
"This is musk. If you smell it too much and it gets into your body, it will cause a miscarriage."
"What? This..." Huo Beian's face darkened immediately. Did Meng Yuming want to harm his child?
His intentions are despicable!
"I'm going to find him!"
Huo Beian was about to get up, but Song Ning stopped him, saying, "He probably doesn't know either; it was probably Song Xue who did it."
"Song Xue did it? Even after I talked to him last time, he was still very close to Song Xue. I don't know what kind of bewitching drug Meng Yuming took to make Song Xue so foolish."
"It's probably a honey trap. Even heroes have a hard time resisting the charms of a beautiful woman. The fact that she thought of having Meng Yuming deliver it is because she wanted us to lower our guard. She's so vicious."
“That’s right. If it weren’t for your alertness, wife, we might not have noticed this and would have fallen into Song Xue’s trap.”
"So, honey, what are you planning to do?"
Huo Beian thought for a moment, "Call the police. Honey, don't worry about it, I'll handle this."
