Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

He Yingying put her things on the ground and lay down on the bed, refusing to get up.

"I was here first, so this house is mine!"

Xiao Re naturally refused, and dragged He Yingying off the bed and sat on it himself.

"You wish! This is the master bedroom, do you even deserve it?"

He Yingying, swinging her arms in a fit of rage, shouted, "You stole my man, and now you want to take my house! I'm telling you, no way! I'll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Re sneered, his tone contemptuous and arrogant.

"What do you mean by 'steal'? I got this house through my own abilities! Lu Yanzheng doesn't even like you, otherwise why would he have dumped you for so many years, making you wait until you're an old maid? Let me tell you, I want your man, and I want this house too. If you've got the guts, bring it on!"

The most hateful thing in murder is destroying someone's spirit; the most hurtful thing in insults is exposing their weaknesses. He Yingying was so angry she screamed, her whole body was about to explode, her fingers trembling like a leaf—

"You, you, you...you little bitch!"

........

The two argued louder and louder, almost to the point of a fight, which alerted all the neighbors on both sides.

Lu Yanzheng had a splitting headache and felt like he was about to explode, so he roared angrily.

"Both of you shut up! If you make another sound, get out!"

Xiao Re frowned and immediately turned his face away. His eyes were slightly red, his nose twitched, and his voice was soft yet cold, carrying an air of arrogance and fearlessness.

"Fine, I'll get out. You two can have the big bed and the big room!"

"I'll go ask your leader about this tomorrow. Letting your wife live in a side room while you sleep in the main room with another woman—what kind of mentality is that, Commander Lu?"

Lu Yanzheng's expression changed drastically, and he froze on the spot.

He couldn't possibly accept such a heavy accusation. He could only grit his teeth, suppress his anger, and reluctantly compromise.

"Yingying, go to the room next door. Let her stay in this room. This is an order; no one is allowed to cause any more trouble."

"From now on, if either of you quarrels again, you will be dealt with as violating military discipline, and you will not be let off lightly."

Xiao got the benefit but didn't act innocent. She smiled teasingly.

"Alright, I'll follow Commander Lu's instructions."

"But where will Commander Lu sleep tonight? Anyway, you said that after we get to the army, you won't share a room with me anymore, and you won't touch me. Comrade He can vouch for that, right?"

Unfortunately, He Yingying, that fool, couldn't understand human language and actually agreed with what Xiao Re said.

"Yes, you can't sleep with her!"

Lu Yanzheng was furious. His temples throbbed, his face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it, yet he couldn't utter a single word in response.

He didn't even know where he would stay that night.

Staying at He Yingying's place was definitely out of the question, and he didn't want to either. But Xiao Re, that troublemaker, wouldn't allow it, so he couldn't exactly sleep on the floor, could he?

If I had known, I would have bought three beds back then. At least I could have set up a nest in the living room.

Seeing his discomfiture, Xiao Re's smile deepened. She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, adding insult to injury.

"If Commander Lu has nowhere to sleep, he can go to his ex-fiancée's place. Don't worry, I won't be jealous."

"If you need tea, water, or tissues in the evening, remember to call me! As your legal wife, I am generous, gentle, considerate, and understanding, and I am happy to serve you."

She's gentle and considerate my foot! She's lucky she didn't stab me in the back!

Enraged by these sarcastic remarks, Lu Yanzheng went completely mad, losing all reason and letting out a furious roar.

"Shut up!"

"Tonight, I'll sleep with you!"

Good heavens! What ferocious and lewd words! The men, women, and children eavesdropping outside the door were all blushing with embarrassment.

Especially the little girl from Battalion Commander He's family, with her round eyes wide open, listened with a mixture of confusion and understanding, and spoke without restraint.

"Mom, who is Uncle Lu sleeping with tonight?"

Battalion Commander He's wife quickly covered the child's mouth, her heart pounding in her chest.

Shh! Don't talk nonsense!

She had just covered her daughter when her son, standing next to her, blurted out an even louder remark.

"Of course it's with that pretty lady! Who would want someone ugly?"

"Good heavens! You're going to get me killed!"

*Snap!* (Sound of something hitting the ground!)

Little Tiger received a crisp slap on the bottom. Zhou Hongmei, with one armpit under each slap, quickly dragged her two children back home.

Little Tiger burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, and a huge snot bubble popped out of his nose.

"Mother, why are you hitting me? I didn't say anything wrong!"

"Who doesn't like a beautiful wife?"

"Uncle Lu won't sleep, I'm going to sleep with the pretty older sister! Humph, Mom hit me, I don't want Mom anymore!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao Re simply opened the door and came out to greet her neighbors.

She leaned against the doorpost, her eyebrows and eyes charming, standing there with a carefree and flamboyant air, waving to Little Tiger with a smile.

"Hi! How are you all?"

"Little one, I heard you want to sleep with me! Come here, I like you. My bed is quite empty, come warm up the covers for me."

Lu Yanzheng grabbed her by the back of her collar and quickly pulled her inside.

"Xiao Re! Can't you behave yourself?!"

"Little Tiger is only four years old, how dare you tease him?"

Xiao Re is far from peaceful! She married Lu Yanzheng not to live a quiet life, but purely to cause trouble. The bigger the trouble she causes, the more headaches Lu Yanzheng and He Yingying will have, and the happier she will be.

"So what if he's four? Four-year-olds are insightful and perceptive; that's what makes them so lovable!"

Xiao Re raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons, her tone charming and smug.

"Oh my, even a four-year-old knows that you should marry a beautiful wife!"

"Look at my face, how beautiful it is! It's as tender as tofu. Look at my skin, how white it is, not a single blemish."

"How come I'm so good-looking!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into He Yingying's heart.

She was already feeling wronged, and seeing Xiao Re swaggering and showing off in front of her, and then recalling Lu Yanzheng's words "I'll sleep with you tonight" that he had just shouted, she felt ashamed, angry and resentful, and a surge of hot blood rushed to her head.

Thump!

His whole body swayed twice, then everything went black before he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Lu Yanzheng's expression changed drastically. He couldn't care less about scolding Xiao Re anymore. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to catch her, but he was too late. He could only barely lift her up from the ground.

"Yingying! Yingying!"

"Yingying, what's wrong?"

He Yingying had been angered by Xiao Re the whole way here. In addition, she was carsick and hadn't eaten. She was also suffering from water and soil in the Northwest. Xiao Re's provocation caused her to be overwhelmed with anger and she couldn't hold on any longer. She fainted on the spot.

Lu Yanzheng's tone was anxious, his voice was tense, and he was holding the person helplessly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Someone, call the army doctor. Bring Army Doctor Li over here."

Xiao Re looked at He Yingying, who had fainted on the ground, put away his playful expression, crossed his arms and stood aside, his tone indifferent but with a hint of seriousness.

"Lu Yanzheng, I know a little about medicine. If you trust me, I can take a look at her first!"

Lu Yanzheng held He Yingying tightly, glaring angrily at Xiao Re, his cold eyes filled with anxiety and rage. His tone was also urgent and impulsive.

"Get out of my way, don't cause me any trouble!"

"Would Yingying have fainted if it weren't for you?"

Xiao Re sneered, abandoning his presumptuous kindness, his cold face now showing only indifference and disdain.

Without saying a word, she turned and walked into the inner room.
