Capítulo 1070: Chapter 717: Letting Go (Part 2)

“Do you think that because my relationship with her is bad, I won’t care if she lives or dies, right?” Chuxia sneered dismissively, “If you judge by your own standards, you would indeed reach that conclusion.”

Hongying, let me tell you clearly, the disagreement between my cousin and me is our own family matter. If outsiders bully her, I will definitely not sit idly by.

How could you be so ruthless to a pregnant woman who is about to give birth? Have you thought about it? If something happened, it wouldn’t just be a matter of going to jail, you’d be paying with your life. Have you really not thought about that?”

Hongying’s gaze became somewhat dazed: “I didn’t mean to, I thought my plan was perfect, that it could kill three birds with one stone, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this…”

…

“Have you seen her?” Zhao Qiyan was staring at the ceiling in a daze. Hearing noise, she turned around and, seeing it’s Chuxia pushing the door open to come in, her expression became visibly excited.

“Yes, I’ve seen her.” Chuxia smiled at her and sat beside her, “How are you feeling today? No discomfort anywhere, right?”

A couple of days ago, her stomach was constantly aching.

“I’m feeling good, a bit stronger.” Zhao Qiyan looked grateful, “Your husband’s family is so good to me, Xia, I really don’t know what to say.”

“Then take good care of yourself. If you live well, the elders will be happy.”

“Mm.” Zhao Qiyan nodded, “You go back to your room and rest. No matter what you hear, let it wait until we’re calm and talk about it slowly.”

“Okay, I’ll go rest for a while, otherwise the elders will start worrying.” Saying this, Chuxia got up and returned to her room. Soon, Captain Tongzi came in, looking somewhat displeased, “If you keep neglecting your health like this, I won’t take you out anymore.”

“I just said a couple of words and went back to my room, and besides, I’m really feeling fine, not tired…” Chuxia smiled flatteringly, “Don’t mind me, quickly return to the regiment, don’t let me delay your work.”

Zhou Mikang shook his head: “It’s okay, going this afternoon won’t delay anything.”

“Were you busy with work last night, and today you can only go this afternoon?” Chuxia glanced at the time, “It’s just after nine o’clock, you’re sure you want to wait until the afternoon?”

“You, you really worry too much.” Zhou Mikang looked at her helplessly, “Do you think I’d joke about something like this with you?”

“Okay, okay, I was wrong.” Chuxia quickly lay down, “I’ll take a nap, I’ll take a nap, isn’t that alright?”

Zhou Mikang’s mouth twitched, was someone trying to avoid his reproach?

He kept watching as Chuxia slept, then accompanied her for a walk, had lunch, and only then did Captain Tongzi go to the regiment, making Chuxia really embarrassed. If the two of them lived alone, it would be fine, but everyone from the Zhou family was around, and seeing Zhou Xiangping’s teasing smile made her feel especially shy.

Knowing that Zhao Qiyan was always keeping an eye on Hongying’s matter, Zhou Mikang left, chatted with the elders for a bit, then Chuxia went to the side room to find her.

The family of three was sitting in the room. Seeing Chuxia enter, they all looked at her eagerly, “Xia, how will the judgment be?” Unable to hold back, Lin Xiaohua still asked.

“The judgment will take some time…” Seeing Lin Xiaohua’s expression turn a bit gloomy, Chuxia quickly explained, “Aunt, they won’t sentence someone immediately after arresting them. Don’t worry, she won’t get away, and the sentence won’t be short.”

“Really?” Lin Xiaohua’s expression brightened, “Qiyan shouldn’t suffer in vain, right?”

“Of course.” Chuxia looked at Zhao Yushui, “Uncle, don’t worry, what I said is true, I’m not lying to you.”

Zhao Yushui nodded repeatedly: “Ah, ah, I know.”

Chuxia then looked at Zhao Qiyan: “Hongying also said her initial calculation was that even if Liu Zhenqiang became a worker, she would still be willing to marry him, but she hadn’t expected me to intervene, so when things went wrong, she ran to find you.

In truth, after really hurting you, she got scared, hiding in the pigsty at the farm, eating with the pigs when she was hungry. Later, when she couldn’t stand the smell and wanted to escape, she found people wandering outside, so she had no choice but to continue hiding.

Finally, when she couldn’t endure anymore, regardless of whether there were people or not, she ran out of the pigsty, and then got caught.” As Chuxia spoke, she couldn’t help but laugh, Captain Tongzi was really bad. Knowing full well someone was hiding inside, they just wouldn’t let anyone catch her, eventually smoking her out.

Zhao Qiyan wasn’t foolish either, hearing Chuxia say this, she pondered briefly and understood the intricacies. If it were the old her, she might have foolishly run to Zhou Mikang to thank him.

Now, having gone through so much, she knows clearly what she should do and avoid, she looked at Chuxia: “Xia, the captain treats you really well, I’ve just been benefiting inadvertently.”

“We’re all family. You’ve been wronged, of course we will stand up for you.” Chuxia couldn’t help but sigh, “We were all ignorant before, but from now on, let’s be good, a harmonious family prospers, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes…” Zhao Qiyan nodded repeatedly, “I used to not distinguish between inside and outside, now I understand. If it were outsiders, I wouldn’t be forgiven for doing so many wrong things, Xia, don’t worry, I really won’t make any more foolish mistakes.”

After my health recovers, I’ll go back and be good with Liu Zhenqiang, and I won’t treat his mother and sister poorly because of this incident.

The human heart is made of flesh, I believe that as long as I treat them sincerely, they’ll eventually treat me the same. I don’t plan to go back now, just want to give both sides a buffer period.

I also know that in this life, there’s probably nothing I can do to help you, so, I’ll just live well and try not to trouble you, not cause you any difficulties.”
