Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Pingying, hearing what Zhiyong said, actually began to worry.

For some reason, she had a feeling that Xu He might really have something to do with Luo Zhiming, and Xu He might have already told Luo Zhiming about Fang Xiu's situation.

This could also explain why Luo Zhiming's behavior was so unusual.

So, Pingying thought for a moment, and whether it was true or not, she still spoke out to remind Zhiyong, "Well, your unit is not far from the lumber mill anyway, ask him when you go back this time. If there is anything, just speak up. After all, we are family, couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, there is nothing that can't be resolved."

"Pingying, what do you know?" Zhiyong, hearing Pingying say so much, intuitively felt she knew something, combined with recalling that day at the Fang's house when Li Yuchun and Fang Ping'an talked about Fang Xiu's pregnancy, their expressions seemed off, he continued to ask,

"Also, on the second day of Chinese New Year, when we were at your parents' house, I felt there was something off about the tone of your parents as well. Did something happen between Zhiming and Fang Xiu?"

At this point, Pingying didn't intend to keep hiding it from Zhiyong, but she still felt it was Fang Xiu's own matter, and that Fang Xiu should be the one to speak out.

She vaguely said to Zhiyong, "Yeah, they do have some issues, but it's their marital matter, let them resolve it themselves. We, as outsiders in their marital issues, shouldn't really interfere."

Zhiyong, not being foolish, upon hearing Pingying say that, and connecting all the dots, quickly guessed something was not right, "Is it related to Fang Xiu's child?"

"Don't jump to conclusions." Pingying still insisted on not telling Fang Xiu's situation, "But I'll be direct with you, I do know some of the things about Fang Xiu and Zhiming, but I hope they resolve it themselves, rather than through me speaking out. That's why I haven't told you."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyong got his confirmation, and his assumptions about the child being involved was seemingly correct, even deducing that Fang Xiu had an affair, and the child in her womb wasn't Luo Zhiming's.

But he couldn't be sure, he closely watched Pingying, with a slightly serious expression, "What exactly is it?" Thanks for reading—brought to you by M|VL|EMPYR.

Pingying, noticing his restraint, simply sat up from his arms, looked at him, "I'll tell you, are you sure you can intervene in their marital issues?"

Zhiyong's brow furrowed slightly, "I can't intervene in their marital issues, but you also have to know, some matters once they come to light, are not just between them as a couple. If you keep hiding it, and both Zhiming and Fang Xiu know you know something but didn't speak out, then my mother might come looking for you."

After saying that, he paused slightly, held Pingying's hand, softly spoke, "Come on, tell me. If my mother really finds out later, I'll bear the blame, it's better than her causing you trouble."

Pingying knew Zhiyong probably had guessed it, if she didn't speak, he might find other ways to get an answer.

And he was right, this matter would eventually come out. If Zhou Yunmei finds out later, she might blame her for everything. Letting Zhiyong know might also share some of the burden.

So, she simply explained, "Before New Year, after Fang Xiu left my store, she spent some time with another man."

Zhiyong immediately guessed, "Is that man the same one you and she fought with last time?"

"Correct."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyong's expression grew solemn, and his gaze towards Pingying darkened.

He put on a piece of clothing and sat up from the bed, his voice became stern when he spoke next, "So you knew about this early on, and you've not told me, even though I asked you many times, you've been covering it up?"

Pingying felt somewhat wronged knowing he was now unhappy, she thought Zhiyong should understand this.

Thus, when she replied, her voice also cooled a few degrees, "This is Fang Xiu's own matter, she didn't let me speak, I don't have the right to discuss other people's matters everywhere."

Zhiyong, hearing this, grew even angrier. His face darkened as he reproached Pingying, "Is she someone else? She is now also part of the Luo family, the child in her womb should be surnamed Luo once born. Now that it's evidently not Luo, you just let her muddle the bloodlines of the Luo family?"

Pingying scoffed, "Zhiyong, don't make it sound so grave. Do you think your 'Luo' surname is some sort of royal or noble lineage that must not be tainted?"

"What's more important is not this. We are a couple, why should you hide such matters from me?" Zhiyong looked at her, his expression extremely displeased,

"Do you realize how happy my parents were to know you and Fang Xiu were pregnant at the same time? Knowing you were pregnant, my mother actually compromised a lot, but you two sisters have been playing your own little games."

Hearing Zhiyong actually start to complain for his mother, and even say that she and Fang Xiu were playing their own little games, Pingying's anger surged.

She looked at Zhiyong with a cold gaze, "Zhiyong, what do you mean, what does it mean that we two sisters are playing our own little games?"

Pausing for a moment, she explained, "I've always been doing ideological work with Fang Xiu, making her confess to Zhiming and see how Zhiming handles it. If it really comes to divorce, then let it happen."

"But Fang Xiu has been reluctant to confess, so you had no intention to speak." Zhiyong said, "If I'm not mistaken, if today I hadn't talked to you about Zhiming's issues, you wouldn't even let a word slip, and you would continue to cover for Fang Xiu, right?"

At this moment, Zhiyong's expression was indescribably angry or heartbroken, making Pingying very uncomfortable, as if he and his family were one family, and Pingying was an outsider.

After all she had done for the Luo family, for him, she became an outsider?

Was she and Fang Xiu colluding to scheme against the Luo family?

What exactly does the Luo family have that others want to scheme against?

Does the Luo family have wealth and power, or is the family harmony, or is Luo Zhiming such a remarkable man that women cling to him?

She was extremely angry, extremely heartbroken, and didn't even want to argue with him anymore. She gave him a cold look and directly lay back on the bed, "Whatever you think then, I had no intention to deal with this mess anymore."

But Zhiyong was relentless, "If you had no intention to deal with it, how come you know so much about it."

Originally, Pingying really didn't want to argue about this matter anymore, whatever Zhiyong thought he could handle, let him do it himself, she Pingying wouldn't get involved in this muddy water anymore.
