She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Yang Xinyue clenched her fists: "Commander Huo, please don't favor Shen Tang!"

"I won't show favoritism to anyone." Huo Xiuyuan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable force. "If Shen Tang really did it, I'll decide to fire her on the spot. But—"

He paused, his gaze turning serious. "If it wasn't her doing, no one can wrongly accuse her."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Tang with a deep gaze.

Shen Tang felt a warmth in her heart. She had come here prepared to fight alone, but Huo Xiuyuan was always there to support her.

It feels really good to have someone back you up.

Yang Xinyue gritted her teeth, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally relented: "Okay, then let's test it."

Zhao Wenjing poured a small half-glass of alcohol from the infirmary and brought it to the table.

"I'll go first." After saying that, Shen Tang dipped all ten of her fingers into the alcohol one by one and showed them to everyone.

The fingers did not change color.

Then, one by one, the members of the performing arts troupe put their fingers into the wine glasses, and none of them changed the color of their fingers.

Yang Xinyue's face grew increasingly grim: "After all that fuss, you've come up with nothing. You're just deliberately stalling for time."

Shen Tang didn't reply, but turned to Ge Aihua: "Commander Ge, it's not just our cultural troupe members who are suspects. These water cups have been there all afternoon; anyone could have come into contact with them. Those who delivered supplies, fellow villagers, and volunteers who helped set up tents could all have run into them."

Ge Aihua frowned: "That's true, but we can't possibly test everyone."

Shen Tang's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Wang Pingping: "Do you dare to get tested?"

"Why should I test you?" Wang Pingping's voice suddenly rose, and her expression changed instantly. "You're the murderer! Don't try to pin this on me!"

"Test it." Huo Xiuyuan took the alcohol glass from Shen Tang and handed it to Wang Pingping.

He stared at Wang Pingping with a cold and intimidating gaze, exuding an undeniable aura of power.

Wang Pingping was stunned by his cold and hard aura. She bit her lip, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"I came here to deliver supplies, how could you treat me like this?"

"Precisely because you're delivering supplies, you can't afford to let anyone misunderstand you." Shen Tang took a step forward. "You only need to touch your finger, and your innocence will be cleared. It's that simple."

Wang Pingping hid her hands behind her back, clenching her fists tightly, and took another step back: "I won't get tested!"

Zhao Wenjing narrowed her eyes: "You don't dare, do you?"

"What right do you have to talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?" Wang Pingping's voice became shrill, but her confidence was clearly waning.

Qin Zheng stood in the crowd, hands in his pockets, looking at Wang Pingping, and said calmly:

"If you didn't do it, what are you afraid of? Just get it checked."

Wang Pingping's lips trembled, and her eyes darted around.

She looked up at Qin Zheng. "Qin Zheng, are you ganging up on me too?"

Qin Zheng looked at her and said calmly, "No one bullied you. It's just a finger test. What are you afraid of? Unless you did it yourself."

"It wasn't me!" Wang Pingping's voice had changed, and it was trembling with sobs.

Shen Tang looked at her and slowly said, "Poisoning the soldiers in the cultural troupe almost killed two lives; that's a crime punishable by imprisonment." She paused, then continued, "But what if you accidentally put the wrong cup in..."

Wang Pingping suddenly raised her head, her lips trembling slightly.

Shen Tang looked into her eyes and said, "What you say yourself is different from what someone else says in a test."

Wang Pingping gritted her teeth and finally spoke, "Yes... I accidentally put the wrong cup in... I meant to put it in Zhou Nan's cup..."

She clutched the hem of her dress, her voice trailing off, "The numbers on their cups are so similar, I must have mistaken them, I really didn't mean to..."

A commotion erupted in the crowd.

Zhao Wenjing's eyes widened: "You drugged Zhou Nan?"

Shen Tang picked up two enamel mugs from the table and held them up side by side: "Zhou Nan's is number 2, and Yang Xinyue's is number 3."

She pointed to one of them, "It's just that the bottom half of the '3' on Yang Xinyue's cup has been worn away, so at first glance it looks no different from a '2'."

"Are you trying to harm Nannan?" Qin Zheng's voice turned cold. "Wang Pingping, regardless of whether the military department deals with you or not, I will definitely publish an article in the newspaper to expose your disgraceful behavior when I get back."

"Furthermore," Qin Zheng said coldly, looking at Wang Pingping, "our cooperation is terminated."

"No—" Wang Pingping cried as she grabbed his arm. "Qin Zheng, I only did this because I like you..."

"Stop disgusting me." Qin Zheng flung her hand away. "You're doing this because you're mean-spirited, what does that have to do with me?"

Wang Pingping stood there, her lips trembling for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Not only did she fail to win Qin Zheng's heart, she also ruined her family's business deal. When she gets back, her father will definitely scold her to death!

They might find her an old man to marry right away, just to secure a partnership.

Wang Pingping grew increasingly desperate, and she pursed her lips and began to cry.

"Wang Pingping, your matter will be dealt with after the disaster relief work is over and you return to the army," Ge Aihua said coldly.

Wang Pingping covered her face and cried, "I came here for disaster relief, I brought so many things, you can't treat me like this..."

"I thank you on behalf of the people in the disaster area for sending supplies, but now you have made a serious mistake and must be punished because you, Yang Xinyue, almost caused the death of both her and her unborn child," Ge Aihua said.

Wang Pingping looked at Yang Xinyue and said coldly, "Pregnant before marriage, morally corrupt, this child shouldn't have existed in the first place!"

Yang Xinyue was already physically weak, and her face turned even paler after hearing what she said.

"I won't let you get away with this. I'll deal with you seriously when we get back!" Yang Xinyue said through gritted teeth.

Wang Pingping glared at her fiercely, then turned and left.

She was terrified when she heard she was going to jail, but now she doesn't think she'll be in any serious trouble. She just hopes her father will donate some more money.

There's nothing that money can't solve.

The truth came out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you it wasn't Shen Tang, didn't I?"

"That's right, Shen Tang is kind-hearted, how could she possibly harm anyone?"

"Some people reap what they sow; it's all karma."

"Shh—you're pregnant, don't say that."

Yang Xinyue stood there, her vision blurring. After struggling for a while, she realized that the culprit wasn't Shen Tang at all, and the person who drugged her wasn't trying to harm her. She had been accidentally injured.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She gasped for breath, swayed, and fell forward.

Although everyone disliked Yang Xinyue because she had wrongly accused Shen Tang, they still helped carry her into the infirmary when they saw her faint.

The doctor was called back and, while examining her, scolded, "What a nuisance! She should be resting in bed, but she's running around everywhere."

"Doctor, is there any chance of saving the baby in her belly?" Ge Aihua asked.
