Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Pingying thought about it and frowned, asking, "What does Zhiming mean by saying I'm the one who let the cat out of the bag?"

Luo Zhiyong angrily furrowed his brows, "I don't get what got into Luo Zhiming, insisting that you told him."

"He must be sick." Fang Pingying was also furious, having previously thought that although Luo Zhiming fooled around outside, he still behaved decently towards his family, but now he was fabricating such lies.

But why would he lie.

As Fang Pingying was pondering, Fang Xiu pointed at her and started yelling again, "Fang Pingying, you better give me a clear explanation today."

"What's there to explain? Are you talking about how you've been stealing men behind our backs?" After Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, she also gave Fang Pingying a cold look, "The two sisters have really kept it tightly secret, managing to keep such a matter completely hidden."

"I..."

Just as Fang Pingying was about to speak, Luo Zhiyong pulled her behind him and explained to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, I knew about this too. Pingying had discussed it with me, and I told her not to bring it up."

Zhou Yunmei furrowed her eyebrows, "Why?"

Luo Zhiyong sighed and analyzed for them, "Firstly, weren't we all at home for the New Year celebration? Mentioning this during such a time, what kind of New Year would that be for our family? Moreover, I felt that this was a matter between Fang Xiu and Zhiming, and they should be the ones to handle it. Having so many of us getting involved, what would it look like?"

"This is a matter just between the two of them?" Zhou Yunmei was furious, glared with wide eyes at Luo Zhiyong, and utterly disagreed with what he said, "If this gets out, it's the Luo Family's reputation that will suffer."

Luo Zhiyong looked at her and countered, "If this had blown up during the New Year at home, do you think it wouldn't have spread?"

"Let's drop this now." Zhou Yunmei cared a lot about face, and thinking about the disgrace of her son being rumored to have been cuckolded really happening at home, she decided not to pursue who had kept the matter hidden.

She then turned her attention back to Fang Xiu, pointed at her angrily, and cursed, "Fang Xiu, you shameless thing, seducing men outside and now bringing back a bastard in your womb, what are you trying to do?"

"I've said it, I didn't do anything overly inappropriate with that man, the child in my belly is Zhiming's." At this point, with the Luo Family pushing for a divorce, all Fang Xiu could do was to resolutely deny everything.

Zhou Yunmei stared at her belly, "You say it's his, what proof do you have?"

Fang Xiu retorted quickly, "What proof do you have that it's not?"

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was left speechless by Fang Xiu's words and, flushed with rage and the desire to hit Fang Xiu, said, "I'm going to beat you to death today, how dare you talk back to me at this point."

This time, Fang Xiu didn't back down but instead pleaded with Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, I've told you, I have nothing to do with that man, he just helped me find a job, I had nowhere to stay, and he found me a place to live, we really didn't do anything."

"Ha, you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Zhou Yunmei didn't buy it at all and had a sudden inspiration, pointing at Fang Pingying, "Pingying, you tell us, did she ever get together with that man?"

Fang Pingying frowned, wondering why this question kept coming back to her. It wasn't her having an affair, yet it seemed as if she were the one in the wrong.

Plus, no matter how she answered, she couldn't win.

For instance, in the matter of Fang Xiu, she originally didn't speak out because she intended to help Fang Xiu, but in the end, Fang Xiu was unappreciative.

This time she didn't want to hide it anymore, she simply wanted to make things clear once and for all. She felt that since everything had already blown up, Fang Xiu herself shouldn't keep hiding it.

Truthfully, even if she said she had nothing to do with it, nobody would believe her.

What's more, Fang Pingying had figured it out. Luo Zhiming must have learned the details from Xu Huhua.

The last time Luo Zhiming returned from visiting Xu Huhua, Luo Zhiyong said something was off about him, which made her suspect this matter. However, since she hadn't seen Luo Zhiming afterward, she never brought it up again.

Now that Luo Zhiming knows the child isn't his, it means Xu Huhua has told him everything. Hence, no matter how much Fang Xiu tries to argue, she cannot escape the truth.

In that case, Fang Xiu might as well let fate decide. If the Luo Family really wants a divorce, then so be it. That Luo Zhiming is no good anyway.

Fang Pingying decided she might as well settle this matter once and for all, instead of always speaking in part and hiding some, making a fuss every day.

She instructed Yu'er and Luo Honglan to go into the bedroom first, as they were both unmarried young girls and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to be involved in this affair.

Watching Luo Honglan and the other girl enter, she asked everyone in the room to sit down, and then, looking at Fang Xiu with a calm expression, she said, "Fang Xiu, first of all, I want to clarify one more time, I am not the one who spilled the beans. Since the New Year celebration, when Zhiming went to the timber factory from here, I haven't met with him. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Zhiming yourself. Ask him when and where I would have talked to him about this."

After a pause, Fang Pingying continued, "During the New Year, when we all came to the provincial city from home, everyone took the same vehicle. There was no time that I was alone with Zhiming. If I truly had spoken to him, then everybody should know. If you don't believe it, you can discretely inquire with all the people who came to the provincial city with us."

After hearing this, Fang Xiu's thoughts shifted slightly, because on the way here, Luo Zhiyong had explained it the same way. Luo Zhiyong's words perfectly matched Fang Pingying's. Although she didn't quite trust Fang Pingying, she did trust Luo Zhiyong.

Because she knew Luo Zhiyong was a soldier and would not lie.

Thus, she hesitated, "Then if it wasn't you who told him, how could he know everything so clearly?"

Fang Pingying looked at her and smiled faintly, "Don't forget, it's not just me who knows about your affair. There's someone else who knows it far more clearly than I do, and I suppose you've told this person everything, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu immediately realized, "You mean Xu He said it?"

Because besides her parents, only Fang Pingying and Xu He knew about the affair, and now in the provincial city, besides Fang Pingying, there was Xu He.

Fang Pingying did not respond, just looked at her.

Fang Xiu thought for a moment, then suddenly shook her head, "Impossible, Zhiming and Xu He never meet, they have no opportunity to talk."

With a sigh and a smile, Fang Pingying encouraged Fang Xiu, "Xiu'er, you are too naive. The relationship between Luo Zhiming and Xu Huhua is always deeper than you can imagine."

Since Luo Zhiming has been uncompassionate, she should not be blamed for being uncharitable. To cover up his affair with Xu Huhua, he actually framed her and made Fang Xiu target her. Why should she cover for him and Xu Huhua?

Although she hadn't seen anything between Luo Zhiming and Xu Huhua, the more Luo Zhiming tried to hide, the more certain she became there was something between them. Otherwise, why would he conceal it like this and even specifically push the blame onto her? (To be continued.
