Lu Shishen held her little hand, looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Yang Niannian didn't have the heart to indulge in beauty at the moment, so she asked worriedly.

"What if Lin Manzhi really reports you for abusing your power for personal gain? You just became the commander not long ago, and negative rumors have arisen. Will it have any impact on you?"

Lu Shishen comforted her, "Don't worry. If this gets out of hand, the higher-ups will send people to investigate. Whether you abused your power for personal gain or not is not something that can be convicted with just one sentence from Lin Manzhi. It is a fact that she caused you to faint for personal gain. If there is a real investigation, the only one who will be criticized and educated will be Wei Mocheng."

Yang Niannian blinked and said, "I was pretending to faint. I almost fainted, not really."

Lu Shishen said seriously, "No matter if you are pretending or not, you are really dizzy now."

He stroked Yang Niannian's hair and praised her, "You did the right thing today. Normally, when you female comrades have small conflicts, it's not easy for me to intervene. Only by magnifying the conflicts can I have a reasonable reason to stand up and speak out."

Yang Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why didn't I realize before that you are quite cunning."

Lu Shishen said seriously.

"The brain must be used flexibly. It cannot be rigid and unchanging. Those who stick to their own ideas can only be reckless and cannot become generals."

Yang Niannian felt like she was being brainwashed by Lu Shishen. She always thought that Lu Shishen had become so cunning because of her.

She looked gossipy, "Tell me quickly, what was her expression when you said that about Lin Manzhi just now?"

Lu Shishen didn't pay much attention to it, but seeing that she looked curious, he didn't want to spoil her fun, so he thought about it carefully and said.

"She came downstairs crying."

Yang Niannian said with her big round eyes.

"Lin Manzhi is such a proud person, you can make her cry. It seems that she will not come to the army to visit her family in the next two years."

After a pause, he continued, "It was Xu Yinglian who pulled me. I thought you would be more aggressive towards Xu Yinglian."

Lu Shishen replied, "The instigator behind this is Lin Manzhi. Teaching Xu Yinglian a lesson will not have any deterrent effect on Lin Manzhi."

Yang Niannian seemed to understand, "So you're just going to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron and go straight to Huanglong?"

Lu Shishen looked at her helplessly, "That's not how you use words."

Yang Niannian said angrily.

"It's different when you become a teacher. You start educating people."

Lu Shishen, "..."

Knowing that she liked to listen to gossip, I changed the subject.

"Captain Zhou attacked Xu Yinglian. Half of her face is swollen."

This is also one of the reasons why he did not mention Xu Yinglian again.

Yang Niannian was stunned. "Captain Zhou was very ruthless. Is he worried that you will hold him accountable?"

"Whether this incident happens or not, he will be demobilized next year. His military achievements are not enough for promotion, and he has reached the age limit and can no longer stay in the army." Lu Shishen said.

Yang Niannian understood immediately that she would not get involved in the affairs of the army, as it had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly thinking of something, she said, "I've been feeling sleepy lately and haven't had time to chat with you. There's something I forgot to tell you. We may not be able to get the Lingxin land because Yang Huiying has also set her sights on it. I saw her bringing a man to look at the land. Judging from her personality, she must be trying to curry favor with someone other than an ordinary person."

Lu Shi was silent for a moment, then made a prompt decision.

"If you really like it, you will spend money to raise the price. If the other party is bidding, you will give up. It would be best if you can get the land. If you can't, the other party will also be seriously hurt."

Lu Shishen's thoughts coincided with Yang Niannian's. She stared at Lu Shishen and looked at him carefully.

"I noticed that you don't like to spend money normally and are quite frugal. Why are you so arrogant?"

Could it be that in his previous life, he went to a brothel and spent a lot of money to win the heart of the courtesan?

Lu Shishen didn’t know what Yang Niannian was thinking, he just talked about the matter.

"The land is what you like. They take what people love, and there is always a price to pay."

Yang Niannian looked at him and said, "I feel like after you became a father, it's like your Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and you've become more resolute in doing things."

Lu Shishen raised his hand and stroked her cheek, "I said I would protect you and the child in the future."

Take today's incident for example. If he was the same as in his previous life, the emperor would have been polite to him when he saw him. Why would he let two women bully the person he held dear to his heart like this?

Yang Niannian rubbed his palm and smiled.

"I am already very satisfied now. You are the division commander of the army, and I am the big boss. How powerful would it be if we joined forces?"

Lu Shishen didn't comment. He straightened the pillow and let her lie down in the quilt to rest.

"You go to sleep first. I'm going to the army and will be back soon. Before I come back, no matter who comes, don't open the door."

Yang Niannian nodded obediently and yawned.

"Go and do your thing! I didn't sleep at noon, and I'm very sleepy now, so I'm going to sleep first."

Yang Niannian was really sleepy. As soon as Lu Shishen left, she fell into a deep sleep and didn't even know when Lu Shishen came back.

Seeing that she put her hands on her belly when she slept, Lu Shishen gently took her hands away. He wanted to hold her in his arms to sleep, but he was afraid of squeezing her belly. After searching for a long time, he finally found a suitable sleeping position.

He raised his hand to push the loose hair on Yang Niannian's face behind her ears, and looked at her quiet and pretty sleeping face, feeling particularly fulfilled in his heart.

He wanted to touch her belly, but was afraid of breaking it, so he didn't dare to. He stared at her sleeping face for a long time before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yang Niannian slept until noon. Not long after she woke up, Tao Hua came to visit and told her about Xu Yinglian's leaving the army.

Yang Niannian didn't sympathize with Xu Yinglian at all. "This incident should teach her a lesson. She should be less shady when dealing with others."

Tao Hua also felt that Xu Yinglian deserved it. "She must have learned her lesson this time. When she left this morning, the swelling on her face was still there."

Thinking of the scene when Yang Niannian fainted, she added, "If you ask me, she deserves to be slapped a few more times. She is the one who likes to gossip the most in the military compound."

Yang Niannian heard the resentment in Tao Hua's tone and asked, "She has also made up a lot of things about you, right?"

Tao Hua immediately opened up, "That's right? You don't know, she likes to gossip and make up stories, and she also likes to make up stories out of nothing."

"I didn't understand her character back then, and I suffered a lot from her. She would buy some snacks from outside, and she would give them to me even though I didn't want them, and then she would tell others that I was a greedy person."

Forehead……

Yang Niannian recalled the first time she met Xu Yinglian. "She also gave me melon seeds before. She wouldn't say that about me behind my back, would she?"

Tao Hua did not hide it, "She and I have a bad relationship. She didn't say it in front of me, but she must have said it in front of other people."

When Tao Hua talked about what Xu Yinglian had done over the years, she couldn't stop talking and started talking about a lot of bad things Xu Yinglian had done.

Not only does Xu Yinglian like to gossip behind people's backs, she is also very stingy and likes to take advantage of others. Almost anyone whose rank is equal to that of Captain Zhou, or a little lower, has been taken advantage of by Xu Yinglian.

However, for the sake of neighborly harmony, everyone keeps it to themselves and doesn't say it out loud. To put it bluntly, they are all angry but dare not speak out in order to maintain superficial harmony.

The more Yang Niannian listened, the more she felt that not living in the military compound was the right choice.

It’s better to live in her small courtyard, it’s quiet.
