"Does it hurt?" Song Yuzhou looked at his red and swollen ankle, his eyes flashing with distress.
"It hurts." Jiang Zhiling's eyes were red, but she didn't hide her squeamishness.
I just went to find Wang Yufen to settle the score, but I sprained my foot.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiling rubbed the red and swollen area with her thumb. She twisted her facial features in pain and subconsciously wanted to pull her foot out.
"Don't move." Song Yuzhou's voice was low and he held her feet firmly.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiling had no choice but to endure it.
"How did you know you noticed it?" Jiang Zhiling couldn't help but ask.
"Just before you entered the house."
"I'm sorry." Song Yuzhou apologized coldly.
Jiang Zhiling raised her eyes and looked at him.
Seeing that she was silent, Song Yuzhou raised his eyes to look at her and apologized again seriously: "Being a stepmother is not easy. You are right, it is not your responsibility to take care of the child."
Listening to his words, Jiang Zhiling felt ripples in her heart: "Do you also think that I deliberately left Xixi at home?"
"No." Song Yuzhou denied, "I believe in your character. I just feel the same way. It's not easy to be a stepmother. If something happens, everyone will blame you."
Thinking of the accusations made by his neighbors just now, Song Yuzhou felt guilty: it was he who had caused Jiang Zhiling's trouble. If it hadn't been for him, she might have married a better man.
Jiang Zhiling said nothing.
Song Yuzhou straightened up and held her hand: "I am the one who marries you, and I will reconcile the relationship between you and Song Chen."
Jiang Zhiling didn't expect that he could put himself in her shoes and think about the problem.
"What if something like this happens again in the future?" Jiang Zhiling looked at him seriously, "When he asks you for divorce again, will you divorce him?"
Song Yuzhou met her serious gaze: "No."
Jiang Zhiling took a deep breath and said slowly: "If it ends in divorce, the long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain."
She looked serious, not joking.
It is her own choice how she should go about her life.
Although she was greedy for the tenderness Song Yuzhou gave her, she didn't want her life and marriage to be in the hands of others.
If someone like Wang Yufen appears again in the future, waiting for an opportunity to harm children.
If something happens to the child, is she responsible?
Ah……
She didn't want to.
Song Yuzhou held her hand and said seriously and solemnly, "Believe me."
Jiang Zhiling remained silent.
Standing up and sitting next to her, Song Yuzhou said in a low voice: "They are my children, you are my wife, and they are all my family. There will be many accidents in life, which we cannot control."
"So even if they get hurt because of my negligence, you won't blame me and abandon me?" Jiang Zhiling confirmed.
Song Yuzhou nodded: "I chose you. No matter what happens in the future, we will bear it together."
Hearing this, a tear fell from his eye.
Seeing her crying, Song Yuzhou couldn't help but panic: "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Jiang Zhiling shook her head: "No. Yu Zhou, I hope you can do what you say."
Song Yuzhou stood up, stood upright, and then saluted with a military salute: "I swear on my life that all the words I just said will count."
Seeing his look, Jiang Zhiling chuckled and raised the corners of her lips: "Then it's hard for me to believe you."
Seeing that she finally smiled, Song Yuzhou's heart finally dropped.
Gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips, Song Yuzhou said softly: "Stop crying."
"Yes." Jiang Zhiling said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xixi and won't give the bad guys a chance to take advantage of her."
No matter what era, even in the military compound, there will be vicious people.
Realizing this, Jiang Zhiling will be wary of people in the future.
"Just wait for another half a year, and then Xixi can be sent to kindergarten." Song Yuzhou kissed her.
"good."
Looking at her ankle again, Song Yuzhou turned around to get the blood-activating safflower oil.
Then, he carefully helped her apply medicine.
Just as they were seriously applying the medicine, there was a voice outside the door.
Seeing this, Song Yuzhou put down the safflower oil and said, "I'll go take a look."
With that said, he walked out quickly.
At the gate, Battalion Commander Zhang wanted to go in, but was stopped by Song Chen.
Thinking that Wang Yufen almost poisoned Xixi to death, Song Chen's eyes were full of hatred.
"Song Chen, please let me in. I just want to talk to your father." Battalion Commander Zhang persuaded him nicely.
"No." Song Chen refused with his hands crossed.
Battalion Commander Zhang was furious when he saw this, and just when he was about to get angry, he saw Song Yuzhou walking out.
"Captain Song, Commander Song." Battalion Commander Zhang shouted excitedly.
Song Yuzhou came to Song Chen's side and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Captain Song, for the sake of us all being comrades, please forgive my wife, okay? I just came back from the Public Security Bureau, and the police said that my wife will be sentenced to a few years in prison."
Battalion Commander Zhang said with a sincere face, and Wang Yufen did not expect that the charge was actually attempted murder. If you really go to jail, your life will be ruined.
Song Yuzhou's eyes were cold: "I'm sorry, Commander Zhang, I can't make a decision on this matter."
"How, how could it be?"
Song Yuzhou looked calm: "In our family, my wife has the final say. If she says she wants to be punished severely, then punish her severely. I listen to her."
"But……"
"My wife is right. If we hadn't discovered it in time, it wouldn't have been as simple as an attempted murder. We would have to pay with our lives. Battalion Commander Zhang, please come back."
After saying that, Song Yuzhou slammed the door shut.
Turning around, he saw Song Chen standing there.
"Xiao Shen, what happened this time was an accident."
Song Chen said nothing and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Song Yuzhou frowned slightly, showing a hint of worry. He didn't want Song Chen to be hostile to Jiang Zhiling.
When she returned to the house, she saw Jiang Zhiling bending over and applying safflower oil.
"Is that Battalion Commander Zhang gone?"
"Probably." Song Yuzhou said, sitting down on the side of the bed, then putting her legs on his knees and continuing the work of applying medicine.
Song Yuzhou looked at her and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiling chuckled: "What does Comrade Yu Zhou want to say?"
"That..." Song Yuzhou paused and coughed twice, "Man."
Jiang Zhiling winked playfully: "Which man?"
"The one who flirted with you." Song Yuzhou was depressed.
Jiang Zhiling looked at his expression and found it interesting: "You mean Sheng Hao."
When he heard the name, that handsome and young face appeared in front of his eyes, and Song Yuzhou suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"Do you know him?"
Jiang Zhining nodded: "Not only do we know him, he is also my ex-fiancé."
Hearing this, Song Yuzhou was rubbing her ankle's hand and said, "fiancé."
Seeing his strangeness, Jiang Zhiling wanted to tease him and said deliberately: "Well, he is still the person I have liked for ten years."
After the words fell, Song Yuzhou's hand shook and he struck harder.
"Ah, Song Yuzhou, do you want to commit murder?"
Song Yuzhou regained his composure: "Sorry, I'm just a little..."
"Something?"
"Jealous."
