Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Huo Yanchuan arrested the Zhou family members and brought them into the investigation team to avenge Wenrou.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that the Zhou family most likely had no connection with the secret service organization.

However, if we don't use this incident to teach the Zhou family a lesson and make them admit to all the evil things they did to Wenrou, how can we clear her name?

He wants the Zhou family to pay the price for this.

The day after Zhou Manfu was brought into the investigation team, he confessed to everything, admitting that it was his family who drugged Wenrou, ruining her reputation.

He, a grown man, couldn't last more than two days, let alone He Cuihua, a woman.

As soon as He Cuihua went in, she confessed to everything and recounted how her family had harmed Wenrou.

"I've confessed everything! Let me out! I don't want to stay here anymore!" He Cuihua was so frightened by the screams from next door that she wet herself. She shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.

It was at this moment that Huo Yanchuan also arrived.

He glared at He Cuihua and demanded sharply, "When you did all this, did you ever think about being gentle? She was so good to your Zhou family, and yet you treated her like this. Have you no conscience?"

Huo Yanchuan was so angry at the thought of how those beasts from the Zhou family had schemed against Wenrou that he wanted to kill the whole family.

But this is just an investigation team, which can only handle matters related to spies. Once it is found that they are not spies, they can only let them leave.

"How much does Zhou Dayong have to do with this?" Huo Yanchuan asked coldly again.

Upon hearing Zhou Dayong's name, He Cuihua hurriedly denied it: "Dayong has nothing to do with this matter. We didn't tell him about any of what we did, so he doesn't know anything about it."

The Zhou family was worried that this matter would affect Zhou Dayong's future, so they didn't tell him or let him participate.

At this point, He Cuihua dared not lie and confessed everything that needed to be confessed.

Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan ignored her and turned to leave.

However, he instructed his men to interrogate the Zhou family members more thoroughly, and it would be best to let them stay here for a few more days.

Wenrou was reported by Zhou Dayong and his group and was detained here for a week. Now, let them stay for a week as well.

Seeing Huo Yanchuan leave, He Cuihua anxiously shouted, "Don't go! I've told you everything I need to say, please let me out!"

She couldn't stand being here for even a day, let alone a week.

Staying here, although not physically tortured, is still pure mental torment.

Hearing the screams of those spies every day, even the strongest mental fortitude would eventually reach a breaking point.

It was only then that Zhou Dayong learned that the whole affair between Wenrou and that spy was orchestrated by his family.

After Huo Yanchuan investigated the matter thoroughly, he ordered Zhou Dayong to be released.

But Zhou Dayong still couldn't accept this fact; he couldn't believe his family would do such things.

Zhou Dayong had just left the investigation team when he ran into Huo Yanchuan.

His face immediately darkened. "Huo Yanchuan."

"I know this whole thing was a setup you deliberately set against me. My family is innocent, why are you dragging them into this?"

Even now, Zhou Dayong still believes that all of this was deliberately targeted at him by Huo Yanchuan.

Seeing that Zhou Dayong was still pretending to be stupid at this point, Huo Yanchuan sneered sarcastically, "A trap deliberately set for you? Zhou Dayong, you think too highly of yourself."

"You know all about what your family did to Wenrou, and you still think they're innocent?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Dayong's expression changed slightly.

He wanted to explain, but at this moment any explanation seemed pale and ineffective.

"Zhou Dayong, how did Wenrou treat you before, and how did you treat her? She must have been blind to fall for someone like you. You're not good enough for her in this lifetime."

Huo Yanchuan's eyes were filled with coldness. If it weren't for the fact that this was a military unit, he would have already wanted to beat him up.

"I...I don't know why this happened?" Zhou Dayong said guiltily after being stunned for a moment.

Huo Yanchuan ignored him and turned to leave.

Zhou Dayong returned to the family compound somewhat dazed, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard arguing coming from inside.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Qingshuang pointed at his two younger brothers and complained, "Zhou Dayong, when are you going to send them away?"

"Big brother."

"Big brother, you're back."

When the two saw Zhou Dayong return, they rushed forward and hugged him.

Upon seeing his two younger brothers, Zhou Dayong was taken aback, then asked, "What brings you here?"

"It's because your dad got arrested that they were sent here. You need to think of a way to send them back." Shen Qingshuang already disliked children, and she couldn't stand being bothered by them for even a short while.

"We're not leaving, brother. This is your new wife. She's not gentle at all. She even hit us."

"Yeah, big brother, Wenrou's family already has a TV. When can we go watch it?"

After they were brought here today, they ransacked Shen Qingshuang's wardrobe while she was away.

Not only did they throw out all her clothes, but they also ate all the snacks she had hidden in the closet.

Not only that, but he also dug up all her hidden savings and spent them all on Zhou Chunmei.

When Shen Qingshuang returned, she was devastated.

The room was in such a mess, it looked like a thief had broken in. She frantically searched for her money, but found it all was gone.

When the two returned, she learned that they had stolen her money and spent it all.

Shen Qingshuang was furious and said a few words to them, but they were not convinced and kept comparing her to Wenrou.

What else is there to say? She can't even compare to Wenrou's gentleness. When Wenrou was with them, she not only gave them money, but also bought them delicious food and new clothes.

How could Shen Qingshuang tolerate this? She stepped forward and slapped each of them once, demanding that they pay back the money.

After being beaten, the two said they were going to complain to Zhou Dayong and demand that he divorce them.

Zhou Dayong frowned deeply upon hearing their words.

Hearing that Shen Qingshuang had hit them, their anger flared up instantly.

"No matter what, they are still my brothers, Shen Qingshuang. What right do you have to hit them?"

Shen Qingshuang originally thought that Zhou Dayong would help her when he came back, but she didn't expect him to defend his younger brother right away.

Enraged, she slapped Zhou Dayong hard across the face. "Zhou Dayong, you'll regret this. I'm going home now and I'm never coming back."

After Shen Qingshuang finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room to pack her things, preparing to return to Beijing.

This time, Zhou Dayong just stood there, not trying to stop her, letting her leave on her own.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep her, he was just tired, emotionally exhausted.

Before marrying Shen Qingshuang, he never imagined that his life would turn out like this.

If he had married Wenrou instead, wouldn't things have been much easier?

The thought of tenderness made Huo Yanchuan feel even more choked up.

His family did something to hurt Wenrou, how could he dare to hope that she could forgive him?

At this moment, all Zhou Dayong could think about was his past with Wenrou, and he was filled with extreme regret.

If he had been more resolute and trusted in gentleness, perhaps none of those things would have happened.

And those letters—he never imagined they were rumors spread by his family.

Because of those letters, he actually believed that Wenrou was that kind of woman, and even felt fortunate that he hadn't married her.

What did he do?

Zhou Dayong slumped into a chair, covering his face with his hands.

His two younger brothers, seeing this, were still thinking about watching TV.

So each of them grabbed one of Zhou Dayong's arms and insisted on going to Wenrou's house to watch TV.

"Big brother, please take us to Wenrou's house to watch TV."

"That's right, I've never seen TV before. My uncle Hu Zi's family in our village has a TV, and he says they can even watch movies. I want to watch it too."

Neither of them knows what happened at home yet; they're just busy having fun right now.

Annoyed by their pulling and tugging, Zhou Dayong raised his hand and flung them away.

"Watching TV, watching TV, what else do you care about besides playing? Your parents are in trouble, and you can't even help them, you just make things worse." Zhou Dayong shouted at them with a headache.

The two men were thrown to the ground by Zhou Dayong and then began to punch and kick him.

"Zhou Dayong, you dare to hit us? When Mom finds out, she'll definitely teach you a lesson."

"Let's go watch TV at Wenrou's house."

They were both spoiled by their families and hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet; all they wanted to do was watch TV.

Zhou Dayong did not stop them; he sat on the ground looking dejected.

Wenrou had just finished washing clothes when she heard a knock on the door.

She walked over and opened the door, only to see Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers standing there. She was immediately stunned. What were those two little brats doing here?

"We heard you have a TV at home, let's watch TV."

"Yes, let us in quickly, we want to watch TV."

Wenrou laughed when she heard them say that. "We do have a TV at home, but we won't let you watch it."

After she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut in front of the two little brats.

The two stood at the door looking bewildered, and then began banging on the door violently.

"Open the door quickly and let us in. We want to watch TV."

"The wicked woman my brother married is gone. We helped you drive her away. If you let us in, we'll let you continue being our sister-in-law."

They thought that Wenrou was preventing them from going in because of this incident, since Wenrou had always been very kind to them, buying them whatever they wanted.

They naively believed that Wenrou would continue to be their servant, just like before.

That way, they can watch TV.

Wenrou only realized that Shen Qingshuang had been angered and left after hearing their words.

However, she was also puzzled as to why Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers would come to the family compound.

Hearing them banging on the door, Wenrou was about to open it and chase them away when she heard Huo Yanchuan's voice coming from outside.

"What are you doing?"

Huo Yanchuan's voice, which sounded like the King of Hell, startled them so much that they almost fell to the ground. Remembering how he had tied them up with rope a few days ago, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran back.

Hearing that they had left, Wenrou opened the door and saw Huo Yanchuan standing in the doorway looking at her.

"Why are you back?" He had only been gone a short while, but he had already returned, asking gently and instinctively.

"I came back to pick up some things and take care of some other matters."

Huo Yanchuan was just about to return to the compound when the political commissar called him over.

He thought Zhou Dayong would come, but unexpectedly, those two brats came first.

Seeing this, Wenrou asked in confusion, "Why are the two of them here?"

Huo Yanchuan looked at her. He originally wanted to wait until the Zhou family's matter was investigated and they apologized to Wenrou in front of him before telling her about it.

But since she asked, Huo Yanchuan had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"When I came back from Beijing, I went to your house first."

Upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Wenrou was taken aback, then remained silent for a moment before asking, "Are my family members all alright?"

Huo Yanchuan knew that although Wenrou didn't usually say it, she still cared about her family.

"They are all doing well. Your older brother is married now, and your parents know what the Zhou family did to you. They miss you very much."

Huo Yanchuan told Wen Rou everything about the Wen family, which put her at ease.

Wenrou looked up at Huo Yanchuan and was deeply moved to learn that he had helped her behind the scenes.

She originally thought that was the end of it. No matter what she said back then, no one was willing to believe her, and even she herself felt guilty.

It wasn't until she was reborn that she learned the truth about everything.

Even so, she knew she had no evidence, and no matter how she explained, things would remain the same as before.

So she decided not to go back, lest she tarnish her family's reputation.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yanchuan helped her investigate the matter thoroughly, and even made everyone aware of the Zhou family's actions, allowing everyone to see the true face of the Zhou family.

At this moment, Wenrou felt nothing but gratitude, besides being moved.

"Thank you, Huo Yanchuan." She walked over and suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly.

Huo Yanchuan was stunned when Wenrou suddenly hugged him.

Aside from the last time she took the initiative to pull down his pants and apply medicine to him, this was the first time she had ever hugged him on her own initiative.

Huo Yanchuan froze on the spot, motionless as Wenrou held him.

He could even feel a tingling, electric-like sensation coming from where she was holding him.

After he realized what was happening, he reached out and touched her back. "I'm your husband, this is what I should do. You don't need to be so formal with me."

Wenrou never expected that their marriage was just a partnership, but Huo Yanchuan was helping her more and more, which made her a little panicked.

"You've helped me so much, what can I do to repay this kindness after we break up?"

Upon hearing her say the word "separate," Huo Yanchuan's expression changed slightly.

It seems he forgot to tell her one thing when they got married: military marriages cannot be easily dissolved unless the spouse is widowed.
