Kang Xiaoqiao spent her first Mid-Autumn Festival here. That afternoon, Lu Yichen said that he was going back to the provincial capital, but he didn't say anything else. He had been busy these days, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't even see his person, let alone ask him about his situation.
Of course, Kang Xiaoqiao was also very busy these few days. The few dried flowers left at home were all made into essential oils by Kang Xiaoqiao. At the same time, she received good news from Lin Hai that the batch of goods she wanted had arrived.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Kang Daqiao helped Kang Xiaoqiao pack her things and said worriedly, "Little sister, how long will you be going this time?"
Kang Xiaoqiao folded her clothes and said casually, "I don't know yet. Yichen didn't tell me what it was about."
Kang Daqiao said with a bitter face, "Take this with you. The weather is cold. It's a cold autumn rain. Don't get sick. It won't be good."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at it and said with a frown, "Sister, there's no need. This... this thick sweater is for winter. It's only autumn now."
Under Kang Daqiao's domineering attitude, Kang Xiaoqiao sighed. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Bring it, bring it all."
Then, she put the clothes forward and looked at Kang Daqiao. She said earnestly, "Sis, you don't have to worry. It's fine. I'll be careful."
Kang Daqiao said with a heavy heart, "How can I not be worried? What if--"
Kang Xiaoqiao was much calmer. "Sis, what should come will come. There's no use hiding. Don't worry, I'll be careful. Nothing that happened before will happen. I'll definitely not put myself in danger."
What could Kang Daqiao do even if she was unwilling? She didn't have the strength to protect her little sister. It was already good enough that she didn't drag her down.
Thus, she exhaled. "Little sister, don't worry. Go. I'll guard your home well."
Her eyes were filled with determination. Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her. Then, she reached out and hugged Kang Daqiao. This sister of hers...
On the morning of the third day, Kang Xiaoqiao got up early. After washing up, she ate breakfast. As expected, there was a department car parked outside her home.
Kang Xiaoqiao had not seen Lu Yichen for three days. She had thought that Lu Yichen would appear, but in the end--
Two fully armed young soldiers came out of the car. Their auras were fierce, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.
One had dark skin, and the other had small eyes. They were both 1.8 meters tall. Although they did not have long spears in their hands, Kang Xiaoqiao believed that they must have guns on them.
When he saw Kang Xiaoqiao, he gave a military salute. "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Vice Squadron Leader Lu has something to do. He asked us to escort you back to the provincial capital. We will be in charge of your safety for the rest of the journey."
Eh--
Kang Xiaoqiao was a little dumbfounded. What was this Lu Yichen up to? He hadn't been seen for three days. He even went to the provincial capital to get her two bodyguards?
Kang Xiaoqiao frowned. Perhaps it was because of the previous incident that Lu Yichen didn't dare to be careless. This could be considered a good thing.
But where did this guy go? His arm hadn't recovered yet. Kang Xiaoqiao had many questions in her heart. However, Lu Yichen was a soldier. His whereabouts were all state secrets.
Kang Xiaoqiao had no choice but to bid her sister goodbye and set off on her journey with the two young soldiers.
The matter at the door was naturally not full of people. Soon, the people in the family courtyard knew that Kang Xiaoqiao had gone to the provincial capital again.
When the sisters-in-law chatted together, they were all envious and jealous.
"Oh my, did you know? I heard that Kang Xiaoqiao went to the provincial capital again."
"Tsk tsk, of course I know. She left this morning. I saw her leave in the ministry's car with my own eyes, but there was no Vice-Captain Lu."
"Hmph, he doesn't come home every day. How can a new wife visit him every day?"
"That's right, that's right. Look, she married into the family one after the other. Our Sister Xiulan cares a lot about her family. Not to mention going out to visit her family, she didn't even go back to her own family once."
"Heh, even if she wants to go back, she still has to have the face to go back. Besides, how can she compare to Kang Xiaoqiao? Such a prodigal daughter-in-law, and Vice-Captain Lu is like a treasure. Didn't she say that she would go to the provincial capital? She even took the ministry's private car. Who can compare to her?"
"Aiya, tsk tsk, I see that you guys are saying that you're sour grapes. Why, are you envious? It's your fault for not having a good birth or marrying the right person. Who asked her to have a husband in the provincial capital? Moreover, the husband's family is a high-ranking official. Tsk tsk--"
The sisters-in-law chatted with each other. Most of them were envious and jealous. Zhao Xiulan, who was passing by, clenched her hands tightly. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
There was no comparison, so there was no harm. Comparing the damage value was like receiving a critical hit. More importantly, this kind of critical hit would be used whenever there was nothing wrong.
Zhao Xiulan originally thought that she had something on Kang Xiaoqiao. She wanted to spread the news through the grapevine and let everyone know what kind of person Kang Xiaoqiao was.
But in the end, no one believed it. Yes, no one believed it at all.
This made Zhao Xiulan want to spit out a mouthful of blood. Some people even said it in front of her, "Sister Xiulan, this person's fate is fated. Don't think too much. Kang Xiaoqiao's fate is good. She got such a good person as Vice Squadron Leader Lu. She has a young talent who dotes on his wife and spoils her. Only a fool would look for someone else."
Kang Xiaoqiao was not stupid. She, Zhao Xiulan, was a complete fool. If she wanted to slander someone, she could not find a decent excuse.
Zhao Xiulan was so angry that she did not eat for a day. At night, she had to plow the land and was almost bedridden. It was not easy for her to get up. She originally wanted to look for another opportunity, but in the end, another critical hit was waiting for her.
Kang Xiaoqiao went to the provincial capital again.
Zhao Xiulan clenched her fists tightly. On what basis? On what basis could she have such a good fate when everyone married together?
To the provincial capital. Many people had never been to such a big city in their lives. They had walked such a long way, but Kang Xiaoqiao said that she would go, so easily.
On the way, Kang Xiaoqiao sneezed twice. Achoo, achoo!
Who was scolding her?
Sitting in the back seat, Kang Xiaoqiao tightened her clothes and looked out of the window. It was autumn, and the weather was indeed cold.
The journey was silent. Kang Xiaoqiao felt very sullen. The two of them were as quiet as a gourd. Finally, they reached the provincial capital. Kang Xiaoqiao was very happy.
The car drove smoothly to the family courtyard. From afar, she saw Xia Yunshu waving at the door. Soon, her aunt, Liu Fengxia, also came out.
Kang Xiaoqiao got out of the car happily and went forward to hug Xia Yunshu. "Did you miss me?"
"Yes, I miss my aunt," Xia Yunshu said with a red face.
Kang Xiaoqiao laughed and then greeted her aunt and the others. Her aunt said enthusiastically, "It's been hard on the road. Hurry up and enter the house to rest. Your grandma is already waiting anxiously."
"Quick--"
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded in agreement. However, Xia Yunshu's expression was not normal. She kept winking at Kang Xiaoqiao. Kang Xiaoqiao did not understand and did not have the time to ask.
However, after entering the house, Kang Xiaoqiao understood and was stunned.
