Chapter 124

"I'll go out and take a look first."

Lu Huaijing stood up with some confusion. Tang Wan did not tell Lu Huaijing about this.

He is a soldier and a man of integrity.

If he knew about this, he would probably take people to the mountains to look for him without stopping.

Tang Wan didn't like Cheng Xiaoyue, so she didn't tell Lu Huaijing anything.

But Tang Wan guessed that the person coming might be Battalion Commander Duan.

Sure enough, when she walked out, she saw Captain Duan talking to Lu Huaijing.

"Why are you looking for my wife when your wife is missing?"

Lu Huaijing looked grim, and it was obvious that he was very unhappy.

However, Captain Duan still said, "When I came back, I found that my wife was not at home.

The kids said she hadn't been back all day, and I asked people nearby.

They said they saw my wife and your wife going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables this morning. "

That's why Captain Duan wanted to come to Tang Wan.

"Captain Duan."

Tang Wan walked to the small courtyard in a few steps and said, "Everyone in the big courtyard knows that Cheng Xiaoyue and I have a grudge.

How could I possibly go up the mountain with her to pick wild vegetables? "

"But they did see you two going to the foot of the mountain one after the other."

Battalion Commander Duan was a little anxious. Although he didn't like Cheng Xiaoyue very much, at least he liked her.

We can't just sit and watch Cheng Xiaoyue get into trouble.

"It's possible that she followed me into the mountains. I didn't pay much attention to her."

Tang Wan shrugged calmly, "Since you didn't see anyone, Captain Duan, why don't you go find someone?"

"I...I just want to ask if you have any other clues."

Captain Duan patted his head in frustration, "You... you really have no clues?"

"Cheng Xiaoyue and I are not familiar with each other. Even if we walk on the same road, we won't say hello."

Tang Wan's eyes were calm, and she didn't look fake, so Captain Duan didn't dare to delay.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go look for it."

It was not until Captain Duan left that Lu Huaijing stared at Tang Wan with a puzzled look on his face.

"Wan Wan, do you know that you pick your fingers when you lie?"

Yes, Tang Wan would feel a little nervous when she lied, so she would do something else to divert her attention.

After being discovered by Lu Huaijing, Tang Wan confessed, "Okay, I'll be honest. I did see her.

Captain Duan said that she followed me into the mountains, but as for the rest, I don’t know.”

"Wanwan, don't be angry."

Lu Huaijing held Tang Wan's hand and said, "I know Cheng Xiaoyue is not a good person.

But if she, a female comrade, went into the mountains with you, and something really happened, you would be hard to blame. "

"Why am I to blame?"

Tang Wan's face turned cold. "You blame me when you don't know anything?"

Perhaps Tang Wan was irritated by Cheng Xiaoyue's audacity, so she felt very uncomfortable when Lu Huaijing didn't protect her.

Lu Huaijing was startled by her sudden emotion, and he suddenly hugged Tang Wan in his arms.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, don't get excited, let's talk it over."

He also realized that his tone just now was not right, and hurriedly comforted Tang Wan.

Tang Wan was so angry that she started to cry, "They picked up a stick and wanted to beat your wife to death, and you still spoke for them."

"What's going on?!!"

Lu Huaijing was shocked by Tang Wan's words, and he examined Tang Wan nervously.

I was relieved after confirming that she was okay.

Tang Wan was so angry that she squatted on the ground and cried, "Cheng Xiaoyue did follow me up the mountain.

She wanted to hit me with a stick, but I dodged it and she fell into a pit.

You've been protecting her so much, now take Captain Duan to the mountains to look for someone."

She was so angry that she felt dizzy and didn't know what was going on. Tang Wan felt her emotions getting agitated.

In the past, she might not have been so agitated, but today she felt extremely upset.

"I'm sorry, wife."

Lu Huaijing hugged Tang Wan tightly and said, "I said this without asking for the whole story. It was indeed my fault.

Cheng Xiaoyue wanted to attack you, it was her fault, she fell into the trap and it was her own fault."

"So you're still speaking for her?"

Tang Wan raised her eyes and looked at him, tears glistening in her eyes. It was obvious that she had been wronged tonight.

Lu Huaijing said apologetically: "Yes, it's my fault, daughter-in-law, can you forgive me?"

"Now that you know her situation, do you still plan to help Captain Duan save her?"

Tang Wan stared at him with burning eyes. He was a righteous man, and Tang Wan couldn't guarantee that he would stand firmly on her side.

After all, there are indeed many dangers in the mountains.

Tang Wan didn’t care at all whether Cheng Xiaoyue would get into trouble again, she just wanted to vent her anger.

Cheng Xiaoyue deserves it all.

Lu Huaijing was indeed confused, but when he met Tang Wan's cold eyes, he said softly:

"I don't know what happened to Cheng Xiaoyue, Captain Duan went to look for her.

Since someone saw her going into the mountains, she will probably be found soon."

Does this mean you don't plan to tell Captain Duan?

Tang Wan burst into laughter and tapped Lu Huaijing lightly with her pink fist.

"I looked around and didn't go deep into the mountains. Maybe there were wild animals in the past, but now there are no big guys around.

Cheng Xiaoyue will at most suffer a little, but her life should not be in danger."

If something really happened to her, Tang Wan would not feel guilty. Who made Mr. Cheng Xiaoyue have bad intentions towards her?

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Huaijing wiped away Tang Wan's tears, "Don't cry, let's not talk about her, okay?"

Later, his mother-in-law will think he is bullying her.

"All right."

Tang Wan wiped her tears and went in, but her eyes were red. Qin Su and the others could see it at a glance.

"Wan Wan, what's going on?"

Qin Su really thought that Lu Huaijing had bullied Tang Wan, so she glared at him angrily.

Tang Wan explained casually: "It's nothing, just some sand got into my eyes, it's fine now."

"real?"

Qin Su actually didn't quite believe it, but Tang Wan looked very serious.

"Mom, I'm fine, let's eat."

"All right."

Qin Su just thought that there were some things her daughter shouldn't say in front of everyone, so she would ask about it later when she went to bed.

Tang Zhou also glanced at Tang Wan cautiously, fearing that Lu Huaijing would bully his sister.

No matter how good his brother-in-law is to him, Tang Zhou will naturally be unhappy if he bullies his sister.

Feeling the connection between her family members, Tang Wan's lips curled up slightly, and the family ate their meal happily in harmony.

In the evening, Lu Huaijing still took Tang Zhou to wash the dishes, and Qin Sugang wanted to pull her aside to chat.

I heard Xu Cuiying knocking on the door from outside, "Sister Wan."

"What's the matter?"

Tang Wan looked at Xu Cuiying outside in confusion. She was a pregnant woman, and she was knocking on the door alone so late at night.

"Cheng Xiaoyue was missing, and Captain Duan asked Old Cheng to go look for her, and he couldn't refuse.

He said that it seemed to be found in a hunting pit in the mountains, and everyone was scared to death.

She insisted that you were the one who pushed her into this pit, so I'm here to give you a heads up.

I'm afraid Captain Duan will come back to check with you on the situation."

Tang Wan didn't expect Xu Cuiying to come to report the news. She was very grateful, "Thank you, Sister Cuiying, I know what's going on now."
