No one expected that Pei Ji'an's new wife was so beautiful. Everyone present was compared to her. Even the young girls who came to see her today pale in comparison.

After being stunned for a while, the women in the living room had different expressions. Some had gloomy faces, some looked at Lu Nong curiously, some became nervous and alert, and some had ambiguous expressions.

Lu Nong looked at the faces of everyone calmly. It seemed that today's friendly and smooth tea party plan could not be realized.

Sister Qin straightened her back, very satisfied with the scene that stunned everyone. She led Lu Nong into the living room and said to the host, Sister Zheng, "Sister Zheng, we are not too late, are we?"

"It's not too late, come and sit down."

Mrs. Zheng had a kind face, short hair and a black headband. She was about 40 years old and dressed neatly. She pulled Lu Nong over and said with a smile, "You are Xiao Lu, right? I heard Qin Qing talk about you. She said you are good-looking and must be a top beauty. Today I see that it is true."

Lu Nong smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is the egg cake my family made. I brought it over for you to try."

The egg cake was specially made for Gu Huai by Wu's mother. When Lu Nonglin was leaving, he remembered that it was his first visit to someone's home and he couldn't come empty-handed. Bringing wine and drinks would seem too formal and rigid, so he asked his godmother for some egg cakes.

At this time, egg cake is a good pastry. It contains sugar, oil and eggs. It is easy to make but delicious to eat. It is suitable for people of all ages. Most people buy it during the Chinese New Year for the elderly and children to taste. It is neither expensive nor frivolous to use it as a souvenir.

"Oh, thank you so much, Xiao Lu. You brought such precious things with you," said Mrs. Zheng, nodding her head as she saw that she really liked Lu's cakes. "Old Ye likes to eat these the most. They are delicious and easy to eat. But no one in my family can make them. We have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them every time. They are hard to buy."

Sister Zheng's expression towards Lu Nong became even more friendly. She personally led Lu Nong to the sofa and introduced the people present to him.

"These few people who came early are all young people. I believe you have something to talk about. This is Li Lingyi, the family member of Chief of Staff Jiang. She is the one with the best personality among us. This is Wang Hongmian, the family member of Deputy Brigade Commander Shen. Comrade Wang is a high-level intellectual. You can tell by the way she dresses and talks.

This is Minister Ye’s relative Ruan Yufang. Ruan is famous for her good voice in the city’s song and dance troupe. The last one is Pan Xiaojuan, our Xiangfei’s girlfriend. You can take her out to play.”

Mrs. Zheng pointed at Lu Nong and said to the others, "This is Comrade Lu Nong, the wife of Staff Officer Pei, the most handsome man in our army. Wow, when they stand together, they are truly a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"On behalf of all the military wives present here, I welcome Comrade Xiao Lu to join our big family of military wives."

After Mrs. Zheng finished her words, Pan Xiaojuan's expression relaxed immediately. She was the first person who had seen Lu Nong's alert expression just now. After all, she was young and couldn't hide anything on her face. Mrs. Zheng frowned silently and shook her head in her heart.

However, everything is afraid of comparison. If Pan Xiaojuan only revealed a little clue, then after Sister Zheng finished praising them with the eight words "talented man and beautiful woman, golden boy and jade girl", Ruan Yufang's face was already full of disdain and ridicule.

Lu Nong did some research in advance and knew that Ruan Yufang was the biological mother of Ye Huihui mentioned by Pei Zheng and one of Ms. Shen Yimei's best friends. After knowing her identity, Lu Nong had an idea of ​​her behavior. Even Pei Mingxia treated her like that, so it was not surprising that Ruan Yufang behaved like this.

Lu Nong felt playful and made a game-like assessment of each person's faction attributes. Ruan Yufang's should be: evil enemy.

Except for Ruan Yufang who expressed her dislike for Lu Nong, Li Lingyi, a relative of Chiang's chief of staff, was friendly among the others and gave Lu Nong a kind and soft smile. She was not at home when Lu Nong went to deliver the cake last time, so the two of them did not meet for more than ten days.

It is hard to imagine that she, with such a personality, is the mother of the cunning and treacherous Jiang Yu.

Pei Zheng still has some sense. He once introduced Jiang Yu's biological mother and Sister Qin as potential partners for Lu Nong, so Li Lingyi's character is: kind teammate.

The last person is Wang Hongmian. She is the most difficult one to judge among those present.

According to her status, Wang Hongmian was Shen Yimei's sister-in-law, and their camps should have been hostile, but Lu Nong could not see any ill will towards him from her or her eyes.

What's even more interesting is that she didn't sit with Ruan Yufang, but was intimate with Li Lingyi. When Ruan Yufang showed a rude look to Lu Nong, her micro-expression was to subconsciously frown, with a hint of disgust.

But this does not mean that Wang Hongmian is friendly to Lu Nong. Her attitude is arrogant. The way she looks at Lu Nong is similar to the way people look at vases in their previous lives. To put it bluntly, she thinks Lu Nong is a pretty illiterate who relies on her looks to get to the top.

Lu Nong: “…” After all, you are a college student, can’t you see that I am well-read and elegant? ?

In fact, Lu Nong is not really without temperament. On the contrary, her appearance makes her have an air of immortality. The strange thing is that Wang Hongmian has always had a high opinion of herself and there are few people she truly respects, not to mention the people brought by Lu Nong's elder sister Qin.

Just like Sister Qin looked down on Wang Hongmian and thought she was hypocritical, Wang Hongmian also looked down on Sister Qin. She thought Sister Qin was vulgar and uncultured. Lu Nong and Sister Qin became close, which naturally gave Wang Hongmian a bit of a stereotype. She thought that since Lu Nong could get along well with Sister Qin, he must be equally uncultured and relied on his looks to defeat his sister-in-law and get to the top.

After Lu Nong complained in his heart, he divided Wang Hongmian into the following camps: proud and neutral.

As for Sister Qin, she is of course a pure teammate of ours, Sister Zheng is friendly and neutral, and Pan Xiaojuan is a neutral passerby.

Just after judging the camp, someone started to stir up trouble. Ruan Yufang said in a sinister tone, "It seems that people still need to have a good-looking face. Otherwise, how can you rise to fame overnight and hook up with someone you couldn't get enough of in your whole life before?"

Ruan Yufang said this very frankly, but everyone else present was embarrassed, especially Zheng Dasao, who couldn't help but complain in her heart, "They know that you have a good relationship with Shen Yimei, but you are not used to Lu Nong marrying into the Pei family. No one cares when you quarrel with each other in private, but you have to make trouble in front of everyone. Isn't this embarrassing for everyone?"

Mrs. Zheng frowned and looked at Ruan Yufang unhappily.

Since she was able to take the lead in organizing the tea party, it showed that everyone recognized and respected her. This recognition was not only because of Zheng Dasao's husband's position, but also because of her own age and personality. In short, she still had a certain aura of authority among military wives.

But Ruan Yufang is a reckless person. She is not afraid of Sister Zheng. Her man's military rank is not lower than Sister Zheng's man, so why should she be afraid of her?

What's wrong with her disliking Lu Nong? The vixen and the little bitch, who knows what means she used to seduce Pei Ji'an and marry into the Pei family. A stepmother is a stepmother. Ruan Yufang got angry when she thought of the day when Huihui came home crying and complained.

The little rascal Lu Nong bullied Pei Zheng as soon as he entered the house. His daughter saw this and went to find Mingxia to stand up for Pei Zheng. But the result was that their family was not in trouble at all. Their anger was directed at Huihui, but poor Huihui cried at home for three days. On the third day, she had a high fever and almost fainted. Pei Zheng didn't even come to see her.

Huihui cannot settle this account with Pei Ji'an and Pei Zheng. The Pei family is powerful. Besides, her own daughter is still thinking about Pei Zheng, so there is no need to ruin the relationship between the two families. She cannot settle this account with Pei Mingxia and Shen Yimei either. After all, they are "friends for many years" and she cannot be the first to break up with them.

After thinking about it, Ruan Yufang thought of the fuse of the incident, Pei Zheng's stepmother Lu Nong.

Pei Zheng is also a fool. He is obviously bullied by his stepmother, but as soon as she coaxes him, he immediately opens his heart to her like a fool and forgets about his own mother. What a joke! Is there any stepmother in the world who is truly good to her stepson?

Today she wants to make Lu Nong too embarrassed to face people in the future!

Lu Nong was shocked. Here they come. As expected of an evil enemy, they are causing trouble so soon after meeting.

Before Lu Nong could say anything, Sister Qin took the lead to protect Yazi, "Ruan Yufang, can you speak properly? If you can't speak, just shut up. No one thinks you are dumb."

"Hey, why can't I speak? Which of what I said is not true? Why don't you tell me something?" Ruan Yufang rolled her eyes. Compared with Lu Nong, Qin Qing still had some nerve, but she didn't have any shame or culture. It would be strange if she would like him.

The others were silent. After a while, a few more people came to Sister Zheng's house. However, when they came in, they saw that there seemed to be a quarrel in the house, so they didn't dare to greet Sister Zheng. They just stood aside and watched the excitement.

Some people didn't want to talk because of the excitement, some people didn't dare to speak, and Zheng Dasao was so angry that she couldn't speak. In addition, she wanted to consider the way her future daughter-in-law would handle things, so she looked at Pan Xiaojuan... Pan Xiaojuan was the one who was too scared to speak.

Lu Nong patted Sister Qin's hand, and seemed to sincerely answer Ruan Yufang's question just now. He said to Ruan Yufang with a sincere face, "Sister Ruan, you are right. Having a good face is indeed popular. Otherwise, why did you marry Minister Ye?"

Ruan Yufang immediately retorted upon hearing this: "You are talking nonsense. My husband, Ye, and I are in a serious relationship. How dare you, a worthless person like you, compare yourself to me?"

Pei Mingxia is indeed a good sister, and they both like to attack others. Lu Nong nodded, "Oh... Sister Ruan is right again. What I just said was bullshit. Yes, you have no shame. I just wonder if your Minister Ye married you because you have no shame."

“…”

Everyone present was muttering in their hearts, how shameless! Why did these words sound more and more like insulting someone for being shameless?

Ruan Yufang was almost furious at Lu Nong's nonsense. She didn't even know what to refute first. "When did I say I had no shame? I was saying that you seduce men with your face. Of course, my husband, Mr. Ye, didn't marry me because of my face. He saw the beauty of my soul!"

“…”

Everyone present almost vomited after hearing the last sentence. Even with this shrewish appearance, she still had a beautiful soul... People couldn't help but doubt Minister Ye's eyesight. Was he blind?

"Then do you have any shame?" Lu Nong shifted the focus to Ruan Yufang again. One of the essences of an argument is to set a trap for the other party. I won't argue with you about the questions you asked, I will argue with you about things you can't answer.

Ruan Yufang choked. She was not as shameless as Lu Nong. She didn't say she had the nerve to admit that she didn't have a pretty face in front of so many people. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I do."

"I understand now. It seems that a person still needs to have a good-looking face. Otherwise, how can one rise to fame overnight and hook up with someone whom one could never get in one's whole life?"

Lu Nong clapped his hands and hid his boomerang.

Everyone present: "..."

Ruan Yufang: “…”

Lu Nong continued slowly, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with looking good. To be honest, my husband Pei married me because I was good-looking. In fact, I married him because he was good-looking. Otherwise, a couple, one beautiful and one ugly, standing together would be a very mismatched couple. Don't you think so, Sister Ruan?"

As everyone knows, Minister Ye is a bit ugly.

Ruan Yufang: “…”

Everyone: "..." So, why would such a beautiful girl like Ruan Yufang fall for the ugly Minister Ye?

Considering what Ruan Yufang said about Minister Ye being attracted by her beautiful soul...well, the case is solved, this couple doesn't have very good eyesight.

Sister Qin added: "That's not right. Ruan Yufang, didn't you marry Minister Ye because of your looks? I remember that Minister Ye had a first wife in the countryside? You forced Minister Ye to divorce the one in the countryside. Who in the compound doesn't know about your little thing?"

Although Ruan Yufang was known as one of the three golden flowers along with Pei Mingxia and Shen Yimei, her background was somewhat different from the latter. She was the daughter of a distant relative of the Shen family within five generations of kinship, and she temporarily lived in the Shen family when she was young.

When she reached marriageable age, many of her peers took a fancy to her, but few really wanted to marry her. Ruan Yufang was unwilling to marry someone worse than Pei Mingxia and Shen Yimei, so she gritted her teeth and chose Minister Ye, who was much older than her.

As soon as Ruan Yufang made a move, she used various wrestling tactics one after another and took down Minister Ye.

After all, forcing someone to divorce is not a glorious thing. She usually kept it a secret. Besides, it had been more than ten years. Ruan Yufang never thought that Sister Qin, who had been her neighbor for only a few years, knew about these old things.

What frightened Ruan Yufang even more was that Sister Qin said, "Who in the compound doesn't know about your little thing?" What did she mean? Who else in the compound knew about it? Who spread it out?

Ruan Yufang looked at Wang Hongmian.

After Sister Qin’s online popular science presentation, those who knew about the story recalled the old days, while those who didn’t know about the story were enlightened and gained a new understanding of Ruan Yufang. The way everyone looked at her changed instantly.

"Wang Hongmian! Did you spread bad things about me?" The hatred in Ruan Yufang's eyes was almost thick enough to turn into poison. The reputation she had maintained for so many years was all gone after today.

Wang Hongmian frowned, she had always looked down upon Ruan Yufang. Back then, relying on the fact that she lived in the Shen family and had a good-looking face, she would always try to get close to her husband. Fortunately, old Shen was alert and saw that something was wrong, so he immediately asked his parents-in-law to introduce Ruan Yufang to a husband's family, and only then did she get married off.

Unexpectedly, after so many twists and turns, they ended up being neighbors. How unlucky! She's as brainless as her sister-in-law.

Wang Hongmian annoyed Ruan Yufang, but she was not afraid of her. She said impatiently, "I didn't say anything bad about you, Ruan Yufang. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Instead of expecting to keep the bad things you did a secret from others for your whole life, you'd better stay quiet and don't jump too high, or you'll fall and die one day, and I'm afraid you won't understand why."

"As for how the gossip came about, you probably don't know yet. Old Ye's daughter from the countryside was admitted to a university in Beijing last year. She is now dating the boy from the Hu family in the compound. A few days ago, she came to see her parents and talked about them. The girl didn't hide anything and spilled all your little stories."

Wang Hongmian's first words sounded harsh to her ears. Ruan Yufang gritted her teeth and looked so fierce that she almost rushed over to tear off a piece of Wang Hongmian's flesh. But the following words made Ruan Yufang pale with fear. Old Ye's daughter from the countryside came to Beijing? When?

Ruan Yufang didn't bother to bother with Wang Hongmian, Lu Nong and others anymore, so she pushed aside the crowd and ran home. She wanted to go home and call Lao Ye to ask him whether his daughter with his ex-wife had asked him for money or things.

After Ruan Yufang left, everyone was still not satisfied. Even Lu Nong was amazed by this miraculous development.

Before Lu Nong could come to her senses, a young woman in her thirties came over and covered her mouth and said to Lu Nong, "My dear sister, you really make us proud as stepmothers."

Lu Nong: “…”? ? Who are you?
