Chapter 873: The Rat's Fault 3
Cao Hongzhu was a smart woman. After hearing what Li Shuitian said, she reacted immediately.
"What a Lu Zhaodi! How dare you plot against me like this!" She could almost guess what Lu Zhaodi would do next, if Lu Zhaodi was really as smart and cunning as Li Shuitian said.
"You schemed against others first, so you can't blame them for scheming against you first." Li Shuitian did not always stand on his wife's side. He was only worried that Lu Zhaodi would use this as a handle to threaten Cao Hongzhu and himself. "Hongzhu, tell me carefully, did you write that newspaper or did Lu Zhaodi write it herself?"
"Lu Zhaodi wrote according to what I said. After all, she is not as well-informed as we are. Most of the words were written by her herself, because she is semi-illiterate and can speak some words but not write them, so I wrote the words she couldn't write." Cao Hongzhu was very upset. She should have stuck to her original approach and wrote the words that Lu Zhaodi couldn't write on paper and asked her to copy them.
At first, she was a little defensive, which is why she suggested that he write it himself and let her copy it. Later, she couldn't resist Lu Zhaodi's pleading, and because she was too excited, she lost her guard.
Li Shuitian sighed, "Hongzhu, oh Hongzhu, now you know how it feels to be schemed against, right?"
"Will the paddy fields affect you?" Cao Hongzhu was not worried about herself, but only about her husband.
"That's not the case." Seeing the concern and anxiety in his wife's eyes, Li Shuitian softened his heart and held her hand. "According to my guess, Lu Zhaodi wants Jin Hong to be cautious. If that's the case, the newspaper is unlikely to be made public. It will have no impact on us, unless Lu Zhaodi turns around and falsely accuses us."
Cao Hongzhu was shocked. "Falsely accuse us? You said Lu Zhaodi falsely accused us?"
"Yes!" Li Shuitian sighed, "Let's prepare for the worst! If Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi don't divorce, the couple will definitely unite against us. Jin Hong is dealing with us for revenge and for my position, while Lu Zhaodi is dealing with us to please Jin Hong. Although Lu Zhaodi is quick to react and wants to fight to the death with Jin Hong, her wish for all this is not to divorce. Jin Hong is very cunning, and he may use sweet words to persuade Lu Zhaodi to deal with us."
Although he was always silent except for work, he was the one who knew Jin Hong best in the whole army. For his own future, what was marriage? Jin Hong had nothing to give up, not to mention continuing his marriage with Lu Zhaodi.
Jin Hong had spoken harshly to Lu Zhaodi and insisted on divorce because he thought Lu Zhaodi was incapable of doing anything.
It’s different now. Now Lu Zhaodi is determined to fight him to the end.
Cao Hongzhu immediately panicked. "You mean that Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi might reconcile. After they reconcile, the first thing they will do is to use the newspaper I suggested Lu Zhaodi write to falsely accuse us, saying that we are destroying their revolutionary feelings, or that we are trying to overthrow Jin Hong to prevent him from replacing you. After all, I have a history of falsely accusing others, so it's easy for people to believe what they say."
"Do you know how powerful it is now? Let's see if you will get involved in these things in the future!"
"Then what should I do, Shuitian? It doesn't matter if I get into trouble. Since my son passed away, I've been half dead. But I can't affect your future. You've worked hard to get to where you are today."
Cao Hongzhu looked anxious, and finally a hint of regret appeared in her eyes.
