Xu Wantang was very puzzled by Lu Yunzheng's confusing question.
When had Lu Yunzheng ever cared about what kind of clothes she wore?
Xu Wantang frowned and looked at him, and couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yunzheng had been taken away. Otherwise, why would he ask her such a strange question.
Not only that, Lu Yunzheng kept staring at him, as if he was looking forward to getting the answer from her mouth.
Although Xu Wantang found it strange, he still answered truthfully, "No, I changed into this suit before going to sea."
Lu Yunzheng's hand held the barrel beam tightly and he pretended not to care and said, "Were you wearing that red skirt before?"
Xu Wantang didn't want to endure it anymore and glared at him, "You say what you want to say directly, why do you beat around the bush?"
Lu Yunzheng struggled for a moment, and just when Xu Wantang thought he would not speak again, he said, "Two military wives came to me and said that you were intimate with a gay man today."
When Xu Wantang heard Lu Yunzheng's words, he was stunned for a moment, then felt that it was outrageous, and then became angry.
These days, reputation is extremely important for both men and women, not to mention that Xu Wantang is still married, and the person he is marrying is a soldier.
Xu Wantang understands the principle of three people becoming a tiger. If such rumors spread, the damage to reputation will be small, but the law will punish the fault in military marriage.
After being slandered, adhering to the principle of "the clean will self-clean" and leaving it alone is the most unreliable way to deal with it.
Even if Xu Wantang is innocent, there will be no evidence to prove his innocence.
Therefore, when faced with such a matter, the best way is to deal with it as soon as possible: find out the person involved and confront him clearly.
"We haven't divorced yet, so of course I wouldn't do such a thing." Xu Wantang asked in a cold voice, "Where are the two military wives you mentioned?"
When Xu Wantang heard Lu Yunzheng say this, he already had a preliminary guess.
When she came back from Chen Yue's house at noon today, the people who looked at her maliciously on the road were probably the two military wives that Lu Yunzheng was talking about.
After Lu Yunzheng heard Xu Wantang's words, he felt inexplicably relieved. He had planned to investigate the matter clearly, so he said to Xu Wantang, "In the cafeteria."
The two looked at each other, then took steps together towards the canteen.
On the way, Xu Wantang seemed to have remembered something and asked Lu Yunzheng thoughtfully, "You just asked me if I was wearing a red dress. What happened?"
Lu Yunzheng walked beside Xu Wantang, his steps not as big as usual, following Xu Wantang's steps step by step, and told Xu Wantang everything about the two military wives.
After hearing this, Xu Wantang had two guesses in his mind.
Firstly, the two military wives were malicious to her for no reason, and secondly, because of what Lu Yunzheng said just now, she suspected that the two military wives were wrong and maybe they saw someone else as her.
Xu Wantang is more inclined to the latter. Within a few days of her arrival, it seems that only sister Wang Lanxiang dislikes her in the military compound, and the others have no reason to frame her.
As for the second possible guess, Xu Wantang first thought of Wang Lanying.
In fact, it was not Xu Wantang who blamed others casually, but Wang Lanying who impressed her deeply. She imitated her outfit from head to toe. Even she was stunned when she saw it, let alone others?
But even so, before the two military wives were 100% sure of the truth, they should not easily conclude that it would cause adverse consequences for the parties concerned.

When Xu Wantang and Lu Yunzheng arrived at the canteen, they happened to catch up with the two military wives coming out of the canteen after finishing their meal.
Xu Wantang looked familiar to each other. Aren't these two of the people he met on the road at noon?
Xu Wantang clearly remembered the look in the other person's eyes at that time. It was a look full of maliciousness, which was still fresh in Xu Wantang's memory.
Xu Wantang and Lu Yunzheng looked at each other, and when they saw each other nodded and gave a positive answer, Xu Wantang knew that the two people in front of her were the two people who said she was unclear with other men.
"Wait a moment!"
Xu Wantang shouted coldly, frightening one of the military wives.
She could still chat a few words without being in front of Xu Wantang, but she also felt embarrassed in front of him.
The man only glanced at Xu Wantang, then immediately looked away and smiled stiffly, "Commander Lu's wife, are you okay? The one in my family hasn't eaten yet. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
The man didn't care whether Xu Wantang responded or not, and kept walking forward with his head lowered.
Lu Yunzheng took a step sideways and stood two steps in front of the other party. Lu Yunzheng glanced at the other party and said, "Please wait a moment."
Lu Yunzheng stopped him in front of him, and the military wife was embarrassed to continue walking forward.
Xu Wantang got straight to the point, "I heard from Lu Yunzheng, did you see me behaving intimately and unclearly with other men? May I ask what time it was, where it was, what clothes the man was wearing, and what he looked like?"
The other military wife was not as introverted as the one just now. She took a step forward, glanced at Xu Wantang with disdain, and said disdainfully, "I say, Lu Tuan's wife, since you want to make it clear in front of so many people, then Don’t blame me for not saving face for you and Commander Lu!”
Xu Wantang snorted coldly, showing no signs of losing his momentum, "I work and sit upright, I earn my own face, I don't need you to save it for me!"
If the other party doesn't talk nicely, Xu Wantang will naturally not be polite.
She is the victim, and the other party is the spreader of rumors, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It is the other party who did the wrong thing, so she will not give up.
"Then you have to talk about it carefully today. If you don't understand it clearly, and it is confirmed that you framed me, I will hold you accountable to the end!" Xu Wantang said clearly every word.
The man had long since determined that Xu Wantang had done something disgraceful, and agreed without any hesitation, "If anyone is held accountable, he will be held accountable!"
The man sneered and said in a firm and contemptuous tone, "It's not because you said you should be held accountable, then you are justified!"
She despises such a shameless woman the most, and today she can be regarded as getting rid of harm for the people!
She placed the food she had brought in the canteen into the arms of another military wife, and loudly greeted people coming and going.
"Everyone is here to judge! Today at noon, Xiao Wu and I saw Lu Tuan's daughter-in-law flirting with a strange man in the family courtyard. The wild man even held Lu Tuan's daughter-in-law's hand. They were so intimate! "
"You did such a shameless thing without telling Captain Lu and you still want to hold me accountable? Are you shameless?"
The man turned to look at Lu Yunzheng, "Lu Tuan! Don't be deceived by her! Don't be deceived by her!"
Other people watching the fun also began to whisper,
"Is this really a lie?"
"I feel it's true. The appearance of Commander Lu's daughter-in-law makes people worry-free at first glance!"
