"Comrade, I am the sworn brother of Shen Fenghe, the wife of your regimental commander Ye. Please call her out; I need to speak with her."

The following morning, Li Qingshou, along with Wang Ji and Shen Zhiyuan, returned to the gate of the military region and lied to the guards about their identities.

He was unwilling to give up. Even though Shen Fenghe was married and pregnant, he still wanted her. If he couldn't have her, then no other man could!

"This..." The guard hesitated.

Although the guards on duty today have changed, Zhong Junrong has already called and instructed them not to let any unfamiliar faces who come looking for Shen Fenghe, no matter who they claim to be. But this person in front of them doesn't want to go in to find someone; instead, they want to call her out. Should they call her out or not?

Seeing his hesitation, Li Qingshou put on a kind and gentle smile on his fierce-looking face. "My father is Li Gang, the mayor of Jinshan Town next door. My father has donated supplies to your military region, and now my sworn sister has married someone from your military region. How can we not be family?"

"I know the military region isn't a place you can just come and go as you please. I don't want to go in, I just want to see Xiaohe and ask her how she's doing. Could you please call her out? Please!"

By the end, he had clasped his hands together, his expression full of pleading, leaving Wang and Shen, who were standing to the side, dumbfounded.

Is Young Master Li... asking for a gatekeeper?

"Well... let me call Commander Ye's wife first and see." The guard finally relented.

When Shen Fenghe received this call, she was struck dumb.

Li Qingshou has also arrived!

What's he doing here? Is he still not giving up on me?

"Okay! I'll leave as soon as I'm done. Thank you, comrade."

After some internal struggle, she agreed to meet them and return the household registration book to Shen Zhiyuan.

Since ID cards are not yet in use, besides certificates issued by the commune, street office, and work unit, the only way to prove identity is through the household registration book. Moreover, each household has one book. If she doesn't return it, her brother and sister-in-law will probably use the excuse of wanting the household registration book back to harass her every few days.

Besides, she's already married, and marriage means changing her household registration. Even though the formal transfer procedures haven't been completed yet, whether or not she has her family's household registration book doesn't really affect her.

Even if she divorces Ye Zhengting in the future, she will be transferred out of the Ye family's household registration. At that time, as long as she has independent housing, she will not need to move back to her parents' home.

In this life, she will never let her name appear on the same household registration book as Shen Zhiyuan and Wang Ji again!

After calming herself down, she asked Chung Chun-wing for an hour's leave, thinking that an hour should be enough to resolve the problem.

"Is it your brother and sister-in-law causing you trouble again?" Chung Chun-wing asked worriedly.

Although Shen Fenghe was trying her best to pretend that nothing was wrong, her pale face betrayed her.

Shen Fenghe pursed her lips. "I'll go return the household registration book to them and come back right away. I won't give them a chance to bother me. Besides, there are guards around, so they won't dare to do anything."

"Alright then." Chung Chun-jung gently patted her shoulder.

"Hey... Where is Sister Shen going?" Yuan Yuan came over just as Shen Fenghe left.

Zhong Junrong sighed, "Oh! It's all because of her scoundrel brother and sister-in-law. They couldn't get in, so they called her out."

"You called her out?" Yuan Yuan sensed something was wrong. "You just let her go out alone?"

Zhong Junrong was taken aback. "There are guards! What can those two scoundrels do to her?"

"You don't understand the methods of these wolves in sheep's clothing." Yuan Yuan waved her hand, wanting to follow her out, but seeing that she was still holding an IV drip, she couldn't leave. She had no choice but to walk to the phone window and dial a number…

At this moment, Shen Fenghe had already taken the household registration book and headed towards the main gate.

She wanted to go and come back quickly, but the closer she got to the gate, the heavier her steps became. All sorts of unbearable memories from her past life came rushing in like a flood, eroding her body and mind.

[Xiaohe, you've been with other men, you're tainted, you're no longer the pure lotus rising from the mud. You've also had an abortion, so no man will want you. Only I don't mind your filth, I don't mind that you've had an abortion. Stay with me, and I won't mistreat you.]

That was the first night after she finished her postpartum confinement period, when Wang Ji sent her to the small villa arranged by Li Qingshou. Li Qingshou did not rush to have a relationship with her, but instead first belittled her to make her feel dependent on and trust him, which is emotional manipulation.

In the past, Shen Fenghe would not have listened to these words, but after having a relationship with a strange man, getting pregnant and then having an abortion, she felt as if she had lost half her life, and her mental world was no longer stable.

Under Li Qingshou's relentless onslaught of slaps and sweet treats, she gradually lost her ability to discern truth from falsehood, and even began to believe that Li Qingshou truly loved her.

After accepting Li Qingshou's advances, she became his toy, and her mind and body were further abused until Li Qingshou suddenly grew tired of her obedience and began to torture her with even more brutal methods to vent his lust and dissatisfaction.

[You slut! If you had been as obedient as you are now, and hadn't run away, how could you have lost your body to another man? Every time I have sex with you, the thought of you being touched by other men before me makes me feel disgusted!]

After the insults came slaps and fists, and brutal assault.

At first, she struggled and begged, but all she got in return was increasingly brutal abuse. In the end, she turned herself into a warm corpse, ignoring the man pressing down on her.

Sensing her growing numbness, Li Qingshou put on his affectionate mask again, saying that he loved her too much, which was why he was blinded by jealousy and beat her, but he also blamed her, saying it was all her fault.

[Xiaohe, you should have accepted me from the start. I admit I can be unreasonable sometimes, but it's all your own fault. I love you so much, why did you reject me?]

[After that incident, do you know what people are saying about you? "Little slut of Jinshan Town! Your reputation is so bad, yet I still don't mind. Can't you give me any reaction? Even begging me while crying like before would be fine, don't make me feel like I'm dealing with a corpse."]

Shen Fenghe paused in her tracks. She saw the devil standing there, smiling at her through the slowly opening door.

In an instant, Shen Fenghe felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and all she could see was darkness.
