Chapter 228 Go and call Mai Yajun over to me
Seeing that the effect she wanted had been achieved, Xia Qingxi smiled, looked at Tian Kaiju and said:
"Oh, it's Tian's wife, don't worry, Jing Jing and I will definitely come to visit you in the next two days, and we will never let people say that I am self-righteous and don't know the rules."
Tian Kaiju's face instantly became very embarrassed. She didn't expect Xia Qingxi not only to "provoke" the relationship between her and Yuan Guifen, but also to threaten her now. She didn't think about her identity. She was a country girl, and she married Captain Lu by climbing into his bed. She was really shameless.
Others may not know, but she knows that Captain Lu has always liked Xiaoxiao and loved Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, when Xiaoxiao left two years ago, she would not have said so confidently: Captain Lu will definitely get a divorce in three years and will definitely marry her then.
Captain Lu has not been back for so many years, and he must not like this woman in his heart. Maybe he brought her to the army this time because she begged and clamored to come, and Captain Lu had no choice but to let her come. Maybe he let her come this time just to divorce her.
Thinking of this, Tian Kaiju lost all his worries and started to sarcastically say:
"No wonder everyone says that Captain Lu's wife is very powerful. Today, I saw that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. Tsk tsk tsk, a woman who dares to climb into a man's bed is really powerful!"
These words were said so bluntly, without any shame, Xia Qingqing's face turned cold, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
She had suffered enough of such insults and grievances in Beicheng, but she didn't expect that she couldn't get rid of it when she came to the army.
Just when she couldn't hold back her desire to curse at someone, an angry voice suddenly rang out from behind her:
"Nonsense!"
The four powerful words shook the air around them. She didn't know when Lu Jingchen had been woken up. He had a cold face and suppressed anger in his eyes. He walked to Xia Qingxiang, protected her behind him, looked at Tian Kaiju coldly and asked:
"Everyone is saying it? I want to know, who is saying it? Deputy Battalion Commander Meng?"
Seeing that Lu Jingchen was really angry and mentioned her man, Tian Kaiju immediately felt guilty. She was just a housewife, and her honor and disgrace depended on her man. Commander Lu's position was several levels higher than her man's. If she offended him, her man's political career would be ruined in the future.
"No, no, my husband Meng never said these things. I just heard them from others. I don't know who said them." Tian Kaiju explained in a panic.
"You don't know who said that, yet you dare to use it to slander others? Have you been spending too much time in this family compound?"
After hearing this, Tian Kaiju became even more panicked. If she really got involved, not to mention the person who asked her to come and the benefits promised to her, she might not even be able to stay here. She quickly softened her stance and said,
"Captain Lu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words just now. I promise that I will never say a word against... your wife again." She didn't know Xia Qinggui's name, so she had to use "your wife" instead.
"This is New Z Country. No one will restrict your freedom of speech. But if what you say is untrue..." Lu Jingchen looked at her coldly and said solemnly,
"Then you should bear the corresponding punishment."
Not sure if it was because of the heat or nervousness, sweat was streaming down Tian Kaiju's forehead, and her voice was unconsciously filled with tears:
"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it again."
Xia Qingqing saw that Lu Jingchen had been frowning, and knew that he was very reluctant to get involved in this kind of verbal battle between women. Now that Tian Kaiju had learned her lesson, she would not dare to speak nonsense in the future. So she looked at Tian Kaiju and said,
"Sister-in-law, you'd better listen to less false rumors in the future. It's getting late, you should go back."
Tian Kaiju, who didn't know how it ended, felt as if she had been pardoned after hearing Xia Qingli's words. She immediately nodded and said,
"Okay, okay, I'll go back now."
After saying that, she didn't stop and turned around and walked out of the yard.
Yuan Guifen, who had been standing by and didn't say anything, followed her in a bit of a daze when she saw her leave.
After the two left, Xia Qingli was about to close the door, but was stopped by Lu Jingchen. After a moment, he apologized sincerely:
"I'm sorry."
"What?" Xia Qingli was a little puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly apologized to her. The next moment, she heard him say in a deep voice:
"I said that after you come to the army, I will never let you be criticized or wronged again, but just now..."
Xia Qingli knew that people's words were scary, and Lu Jingchen couldn't inform others one by one and let them shut up.
But she was really upset about this matter, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't mind. Just when she hesitated to say something, she saw Lu Jingchen turned back to the room.
A moment later, he had put on his military uniform and walked out of the room. When Xia Qingli was wondering, he said to her,
"You take a rest first, I'm going to the camp." As he spoke, he glanced at the wooden basin beside him and saw his clothes soaking in it, so he said,
"I'll wash the clothes when I get back. They're too heavy for you to move."
Xia Qingli wanted to ask, "What are you doing at the camp so late?" But thinking that this was the army, and the work they were doing might not be convenient for them to tell her, she asked,
"Are you coming back today?"
"Yes." Lu Jingzhen said as he put on his military boots, then looked at her and asked worriedly,
"Will you be scared when you are alone at home?"
Xia Qingying shook her head. Although she seldom stayed at home alone, it would be common for Lu Jingxie to go on missions in the future. She couldn't stop him from going, so she had to start adapting from now on.
Lu Jingxie nodded and said,
"I will be back as soon as possible."
After that, he walked out without stopping.
Lu Jingxie walked very fast. After ten minutes or so, he arrived at the battalion headquarters. He called his guard forward and said to him,
"Go and see if Maia Jun has finished his training. If he has, bring him to me."
