Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — Divorcing the Cold Battalion Commander
My husband's childhood sweetheart, wanting to steal my officer husband, locked me and a strange man in a room. She rushed in wearing a brand new white dress, her eyes red and she cursed me shamelessly.
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Xuyen is not home, are you that lacking in manliness?"
I grabbed the blanket tightly, not saying a word, while the people outside the door began cursing me for being dirty. The funniest thing was, my husband, who had just returned home, was standing right next to her, coldly looking at me. Lam Mieu thought I would cry and beg him to believe me. But she didn't know that, before traveling here, I was the National Debate Champion. Do you want to make me lose my reputation? Then I have to make her shed a layer of skin. 1. I grabbed the corner of the blanket tightly, my mind still exploding. A second ago, I was still standing on the final stage of the National Debate Competition. Seconds later, I was lying in this mud-walled house. There was only one set of underwear left on him. Next to him, there was also a strange man lying. Lam Mieu wore a brand new white dress and rushed straight in.
“Sister-in-law, how could you do this kind of thing?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people crowded in outside the door to look in. There are aunts, sisters-in-law in the military dormitory, people from the support department, and even young soldiers wearing military uniforms. The atmosphere immediately exploded.
“Oh my god, isn't this Battalion Commander Luc's wife?”
"That's right! Battalion Commander Luc has only been on duty for a few days, is she already messing around with someone else?"
“So shameless!”
I sat on the bed, my palms were cold. Not because of fear, but because the memory has not yet been fully absorbed. Luc Xuyen is standing outside the door. His military uniform was smooth and his face was as cold as if it had just been taken out of ice water.
“To Van.”
The memory of the original owner suddenly throbbed in my head. This is the husband of the original owner - Luc Xuyen. They have been married for three years. Luc Xuyen was in the army all year round, the original owner alone kept the house, took care of his mother-in-law, and sent money to relatives in the countryside on his behalf. He has never been able to say soft words. But the original owner always thought that he was a soldier and it was normal to have a little cold personality. At this moment, he is standing right next to Lam Mieu. Lam Mieu cried and quickly hid behind him.
“Brother Xuyen, I really didn't mean to catch you.”
"I just heard a noise in the room and was afraid something would happen to my sister-in-law."
“Who would have thought…”
Having said this, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. People outside the door immediately followed.
"Can you still hear the sound of the engine? Where will my face be at this rate?"
“Battalion Commander Luc, hurry up and get a divorce.”
"Why keep this kind of woman? It will only ruin your future."
Luc Xuyen stared at me.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
I opened my mouth. The chaotic memories were like a basin of cold water poured straight down on my head. This morning, the original owner received a note. On the paper was written: *Something happened to Luc Xuyen, come quickly to the old warehouse.* The original owner ran over in panic. As soon as she walked through the door, she smelled a pungent smell that reached her nose. When I woke up, it was the current scene. I turned to look at the strange man. The original owner did not know him at all. Trieu Dai Cuong sat half on the edge of the bed, his clothes were disheveled, and there was no sign of panic on his face. He lowered his head, stammered and said:
“Battalion Commander Luc, I'm sorry to you.”
“It was my sister-in-law… it was my sister-in-law who pulled me in first.”
There was a gasp of surprise outside the door. At this moment, Lam Mieu burst into tears.
“Sister-in-law, hasn't Mr. Xuyen treated you well enough?”
“How could you secretly seduce someone else behind his back?”
The witness has also finished preparing. This is not a misunderstanding, but someone wants to pin me as an "adulterer". Luc Xuyen's face turned red, his angry eyes flickered back and forth between me and Trieu Dai Cuong.
“To Van, don't you feel dirty?”
I was just about to open my mouth when the last piece of the memory puzzle came together. Note, old warehouse, room door locked from the outside. And Lam Mieu's voice rang out before the original owner fainted:
“Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm just doing it for Mr. Xuyen.”
I was finally fully awake. I flipped the blanket, just about to get out of bed to object. At this moment, another person rushed in from outside the door. Luc Xuyen's mother, the original owner's mother-in-law. She took a few steps and rushed to the edge of the bed, then swung her hand and slapped me in the face with a painful sting. I turned away, my ears ringing. She pointed her finger straight at me and cursed:
"I told you, I haven't seen anyone this morning. It turns out I ran here to embarrass myself!"
"What? My son can't satisfy you so you have to go out to eat?"
I used the tip of my tongue to move back and forth to the tingling cheek. All memories have finally returned. 2. I have lived for more than twenty years in this world and have never been slapped in the face by anyone in front of a crowd like this. Before time travel, my parents treated me like a precious gem in their hands. After traveling through time, even though the original owner's parents passed away early, when they were still alive, they couldn't bear to lay a finger on her. I slowly turned around. Luc's mother was still panting with anger.
"What are you looking at? Do you still dare to glare at me?"
"You are my mother-in-law, I won't deal with you with this slap for now."
Luc's mother was stunned. Outside the door, someone whispered loudly:
“She still dares to talk nonsense.”
I ignored them and looked straight into Luc's mother's eyes:
“But on what basis do you say that I am embarrassing myself?”
Luc's mother's face became even more unsightly.
"You're sharing a bed with a man. Isn't that cheating? Isn't it a loss of face?"
I turned to look at Lam Mieu.
“With what eyes did you see me cheating?”
Lam Mieu's tears were still hanging down on her face.
“Sister-in-law, I don't want to say too harsh words.”
"Is that so? Did you see me hug him? Or kiss him?"
She paused.
"Do not have."
“So you saw me undress?”
Lam Mieu's face turned pale. Luc Xuyen frowned.
“To Van, pay attention to your words.”
I looked straight at him.
"If you put the 'adultery' hat on my head, it won't look dirty."
“When it's time for me to ask for evidence, you tell me to pay attention?”
Luc Xuyen was speechless. I continued to look at Lam Mieu.
"If you catch a thief, you must have evidence; if you catch a thief, you must have it in battle."
“You said I had an affair, give me the proof.”
Lam Mieu lowered her head, tears falling again.
“Sister-in-law, I know you hate me.”
“I shouldn't have told everyone.”
"But I can't stand by and watch Xuyen being deceived by you."
She spoke as if she had suffered a great injustice. Without knowing what happened, people would have thought the person locked in the room was her. Luc's mother immediately stood up to defend.
"Miao Miao has the kindness to help us in the Luc family catch the evil act, do you still dare to bully her?"
She pointed at me, then pointed at Trieu Dai Cuong.
"Look! People are still here! The Luc family's face has been ruined by you!"
I laughed softly.
