Qian Mengping rushed to the Zheng family and pointed at Du Chunjuan, "Sister Juan, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say Gong Linglong was a bastard? I just came to you a few days ago to ask about Gong Linglong. I never said she was a bastard. How can you so falsely accuse me?"
After saying that, he looked at Zheng Chaolin again, "Chaolin, you were there when I was talking to your mother. You told me everything I asked about. I never said anything like Gong Linglong was a bastard from the beginning to the end."
"Aunt, you didn't tell me, it was my mother who made it up." Zheng Chaolin was almost mad at his mother.
"Lu Jingchuan, you heard me, I didn't say those words. I just went to ask the mother and son about Gong Linglong. I thought that Zheng Chaolin was the son-in-law of the Zhou family's granddaughter, and he should know Gong Linglong, so I went to ask them." Qian Mengping spoke rapidly.
Lu Jingchuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked her, "Why are you asking about my wife?"
"I don't have to answer this question."
Qian Mengping had already understood that it was not her who had committed a crime today, nor was there any change in the case of her husband's son, but that something had happened to Du Chunjuan. The Public Security Bureau called her over just for routine questioning and investigation, and she could refuse to answer questions she didn't want to answer.
"You don't have to answer, but I'm warning you, the Cui family. If you plot against my wife behind her back or harbor any ill intentions towards her, I will make sure you never have a peaceful day."
Lu Jingchuan is not afraid of outsiders accusing him of bullying others. If he can't even protect his wife, what's the point of working hard to climb up and gain power?
From his words, the two elders of the Cui family were also certain that the Lu family, the Zhou family and the Han family all knew Gong Linglong's identity. They all knew that she was Cui Zhiyuan's daughter and had already investigated it clearly.
"We didn't intend to do anything to her, nor did we have any plans to plot anything. We just happened to see her on the street and noticed that she looked a bit like my second child, so we wanted to confirm some things."
"We originally wanted to ask your mother-in-law in person, but we couldn't find her, so we went to Zheng Chaolin to ask."
It was Cui's father who spoke. The Cui family now had no capital to fight against them. At this moment, they were also glad that they did not go to find Gong Wantang and her daughter, otherwise they would definitely be kicked out by them.
"Qian Mengping, you clearly said at the time that Gong Wantang had no children when she divorced your uncle Cui Zhiyuan. What you meant was obviously that Gong Wantang behaved improperly and Gong Linglong was a bastard with an unknown father." Du Chunjuan jumped up again and pushed the blame onto Qian Mengping.
Qian Mengping became furious when she heard this, her voice rising: "I did say that they had no children when they divorced, but I never said that Gong Wantang behaved improperly, nor did I say that Gong Linglong was a bastard with an unknown father. These are all just your own fanciful imaginings."
"I came to you to ask about it because I found that Gong Linglong looked like my second son, so I specifically asked you about her date of birth. Zheng Chaolin told me some of it at the time, and I was able to figure it out. When the second son and his family divorced, Gong Wantang was pregnant. She is the second son's daughter."
After yelling at her, he confronted Zheng Chaolin again: "Chaolin, tell me, besides asking you about this, did your aunt ever tell you what your mother said?"
"No."
Zheng Chaolin is easily influenced, cowardly and has no opinion of his own. He usually listens to his mother, but he knows that now is not the time to lie to defend her.
Seeing his mother about to yell at him, he took the initiative to accuse her: "Mom, please stop embarrassing yourself, okay?"
"I reminded you at the time, repeatedly telling you not to meddle in the affairs of the Cui and Gong families, mother and daughter, and not to gossip about them. Why didn't you listen to me?"
"The house is already a mess. Can't you just behave yourself and let us have a peaceful New Year?"
"You've destroyed my family. Now my wife and children are separated, and I've become a joke. And you're still making a fuss like this. Are you going to be satisfied only if both my father and I lose our jobs?"
Du Chunjuan didn't think so much. She just thought that the Song and Zhou families made the Zheng family's life miserable, so she wanted to make trouble for them and make sure they didn't have a good year. She never thought that deliberately fabricating these things would affect the family.
Lu Jingchuan didn't intend to let these gossips off easily. He strode away, saying to the Public Security Bureau leader as he left, "Sentence as it should be."
Upon hearing the word "judgment," Du Chunjuan immediately stood up and chased after him, shouting, "I just said a few random words. At most, I will write a written self-criticism and accept verbal education."
"Let someone in your family who knows the law explain the law to you."
Lu Jingchuan didn't stop and answered, not only answering her, but also informing the other gossips who were involved.
Both Zheng's father and son understood the law and knew very well how serious it was to insult and slander military families. Seeing Du Chunjuan still cursing and roaring, they were both so angry that their heads were about to explode.
In the end, Du Chunjuan was sentenced to three months. When she was handcuffed and taken away, she finally felt scared and regretted her decision. She immediately asked the man for help, but Zheng's father filed for divorce with her.
Zheng's father had long been fed up with her stupidity and disgusted with her aggressiveness and dominance. In fact, he had already thought about divorce. This time, he forced her to divorce on the grounds of saving the jobs of father and son.
Du Chunjuan regretted it so much that she cried and confessed, but it was of no use. In the end, she went through the divorce procedures.
The families of the other gossipers were also in a mess. Those who were sentenced and educated got divorced, and those who were not sentenced but received verbal education and punishment, although they did not divorce, also had their family relationships affected.
When Lu Jingchuan returned home, lunch was just served. Gong Linglong immediately got up and went to the kitchen to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, saying, "Today's lunch is simple. We only cooked dumplings and vegetables."
"That's enough for me."
Gong Wantang had already left her confinement and came out to eat with them. She said to her son-in-law, "Jingchuan, Aji called earlier and asked you to call him back when you get back."
"Okay, I'll play after dinner."
Lu Jingchuan didn't tell them before he went out, but now he took the initiative to tell them what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, the mother and daughter said almost in unison: "She must be mentally ill."
"If she had a normal mind, she wouldn't treat Sister Yan like that, and she wouldn't mess up the family."
Lu Jingchuan usually never gossiped about others, but today he couldn't help but complain, and then brought up another matter: "Mom, if these gossipy women make a fuss, the news that Linglong is the granddaughter of the Cui family will probably spread."
"It's fine. I didn't mention it before because the situation was special at the time. Cui Zhiyuan had studied abroad, and I was worried that this would affect your career prospects. Now that the special period is over, there's no need to worry about it. Just continue living your life as usual. Don't worry about anything else, and don't bother with the Cui family either."
She had gone through great pains to conceive and raise her daughter. Although she had half Cui family blood in her bones, the Cui family had never given her a single grain of rice to eat, and the Cui family had no right to talk about anything else with her.
