When Yang Niannian thought about the child with Lu Shishen in her belly, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She didn't know whether the child would look like her or Lu Shishen in the future.
She looked up at Lu Shishen's perfect features and facial lines, and suddenly smiled.
From now on you don’t have to worry about your child’s appearance, because no one can be ugly.
She blinked and said, "Lu Shishen, you can think about what name to give the child now."
Lu Shishen concealed the sharpness in his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "I'm fine now, my name is Lu Muyang."
Yang Niannian understood the meaning of these three words at once and felt very happy.
"It sounds nice, but it's a boy's name, right? What if we give birth to a girl?"
Lu Shishen seemed to have considered this question a long time ago, and replied calmly, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they'll all be called this name."
"..." Yang Niannian said coquettishly, "You really know how to save energy."
But then again, this name seems to be quite nice for a girl.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the voices of the military wives talking. She quickly closed her eyes and leaned in Lu Shishen's arms and pretended to sleep.
The military wives had been staying downstairs in the guesthouse and had not gone upstairs. When they saw Lu Shishen carrying Yang Niannian back, they all came forward to ask about his concern.
"Master Lu, is Nian Nian okay?"
"What's wrong with Nian Nian? Why did she suddenly faint?"
Lu Shishen's calm eyes revealed aloofness and coldness, "She needs to rest now."
After saying that, he walked past the military wives holding Yang Niannian without stopping at all.
Xu Yinglian was already very nervous, and when she saw this situation, she became even more nervous. She walked up to Lin Manzhi and said.
"What should I do? Is there really something wrong with her?"
Lin Manzhi asked back as if it was none of her business.
"You ask me, who should I ask? Why did you have to pull her?"
Xu Yinglian regretted so much that her intestines turned green and she wanted to chop off her hand, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Explained anxiously.
"I didn't use much force! I pulled her because I wanted her to listen to you. Wasn't it for the shuttlecock kicking game? I did it for all of us..."
Before Lin Manzhi could say anything, the other military wives quickly tried to clear themselves of responsibility.
"Yinglian, don't say that. As for the competition, I'm not very good at shuttlecock to begin with, and now I'm old and don't want to make a fuss. I came here because you said we should realize our value. I don't care whether we compete or not. Now you are the one who brought up this matter with Master Lu's wife. It has nothing to do with shuttlecock. You can't push it onto everyone."
The other military wives also echoed, "Exactly, why did you pull her for so long?"
Xu Yinglian was furious when she saw that everyone was busy distancing themselves from the incident, but she couldn't argue with so many military wives alone, so she looked at Lin Manzhi again.
"Mrs. Lin, it was you who proposed the shuttlecock kicking competition, and I was just helping you..."
Lin Manzhi's face suddenly stretched out and she interrupted her coldly.
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to pass on the blame? I only suggested the shuttlecock kicking competition, but I didn't ask you to drag Nian Nian with you. And when we were upstairs, you were the one who dragged her down with you."
Without giving Xu Yinglian a chance to explain, she continued, "You made her faint, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. You can't just try to pass the buck now that something happened. You should quickly call your man back and go and apologize to Commander Lu together!"
Xu Yinglian was angry and scared. Only now did she realize that she was being used as a gun by Lin Manzhi. Lin Manzhi asked her to take the lead in everything, and then abandoned her when something went wrong, while she took all the blame.
She finally understood, but it was no use figuring it out. Her man did not hold a higher position than Wei Mocheng, and she did not dare to challenge Lin Manzhi.
The two of them lived in the military compound. If Lin Manzhi brought other military wives to isolate her, her life would be difficult in the future.
No matter how angry or hateful you are, you can only grit your teeth and swallow it.
Whenever she thought about the consequences if her husband knew that she had knocked Yang Niannian unconscious, she felt like her life was half gone.
Frightened, Xu Yinglian did not dare to go back to look for her husband. She wanted to visit Yang Niannian but was afraid of running into Lu Shishen. She lay in bed anxiously for the whole afternoon and did not even eat dinner.
Captain Zhou was downstairs in the guesthouse when he heard other military wives talking about how Xu Yinglian had pulled Yang Niannian unconscious. He was so angry that he quickly returned to his residence, took three steps at a time, and pulled her up from the bed and slapped her in the face.
He used such strong force that half of Xu Yinglian's face was swollen. He was still not satisfied after beating Xu Yinglian and flew into a rage.
"You're tired of living like this, aren't you? Why did you provoke Yang Niannian?"
Xu Yinglian was stunned by the beating, her ears were buzzing. She knew she was in trouble, but she didn't dare to argue with the man.
He explained aggrievedly.
"I, I just pulled her gently, who knew she would be like a clay doll and couldn't stand being touched so much?"
Captain Zhou's eyes were blazing with anger as he pointed at Xu Yinglian and yelled.
"Did you just touch her? She was pregnant, and you asked her to go downstairs to play shuttlecock. She refused to go, and you dragged her downstairs. What did you want to do?"
Xu Yinglian had been gossiping behind people's backs all day long. This was the first time she suffered such a loss. She was so furious that she wanted to find someone to settle the score with.
"Who is talking nonsense? I was holding her arm as we went downstairs. Who do you think told you that? I'm going to tear her mouth apart right now."
Captain Zhou threw her onto the bed and said, "You think this isn't a big enough fuss, right? Have you had too much good life? Do you want me to take you back to my hometown to grow crops?"
When Xu Yinglian heard this, she was frightened. Her anger subsided instantly. She was panicked, like a headless fly, and her mind was blank.
"So what should we do now?"
Captain Zhou was so angry that his face turned red, but he knew that this was not the time to talk about this, so he said.
"Put on your shoes quickly and come with me to apologize to the commander and his wife."
Xu Yinglian did not dare to delay and hurriedly put on her shoes, complaining as she went along.
"It's all Lin Manzhi's fault. She was the one who came up with the idea of organizing a shuttlecock kicking competition and asked Yang Niannian to go down and play. She took advantage of Yang Niannian's mood to bring up the matter of the competition. Now that something has gone wrong, Lin Manzhi has completely distanced herself from the matter."
Captain Zhou had the urge to tear her apart and growled.
"You have a pig brain, don't you? I told you a long time ago that you should be more careful and talk less when you are with Lin Manzhi, but you didn't listen to me, did you?"
Xu Yinglian knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to retort.
The two of them came to the door of Yang Niannian's room, and Lu Shishen happened to open the door, holding a thermos bucket and preparing to wash it.
When Xu Yinglian saw Lu Shishen's cold face, she felt a little scared and subconsciously hid behind her husband.
Captain Zhou was a little panicked at the moment, and he shouted bravely.
"Commander."
Lu Shishen walked out, closed the door gently, and frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Captain Zhou said stiffly.
"Master, I brought Yinglian here to apologize to you. I'm really sorry for her beating you so hard."
Xu Yinglian wanted to say that she didn't use any harsh force at all, but when she saw Lu Shishen's cold face, she swallowed the words back and could only apologize.
"Master Lu, I didn't use enough strength. It's all my fault... Fortunately, Nian Nian is fine, otherwise I would be guilty of this."
Lu Shishen saw that half of Xu Yinglian's face was swollen, and he understood what happened, and said seriously.
"She is resting. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest too."
When Captain Zhou and Xu Yinglian heard this, they felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts. Did Commander Lu forgive them, or was he going to settle the score with them later?
To be honest, the more Lu Shishen acted like this, the more uncertain they felt. It would be better for them to just lose their temper and scold them.
