When Lu Yichen heard it, he smelled a conspiracy. Everyone was not living well now. The milk that this Uncle Wang gave to Kang Xiaoqiao was probably the property of the big team, not to mention the king crab today. Going into the sea to do homework... That was also the property of the public.
This Uncle Wang had taken such a big risk, so his request was not small.
Hence, he asked faintly, "Does Uncle Wang know that you are staying in the military courtyard?"
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
Lu Yichen narrowed his eyes when he heard this. "Then does he know that you are a military wife?"
Kang Xiaoqiao raised her head when she heard this. Her thick bangs were already a little long. When they grew longer, Kang Xiaoqiao decided to comb her hair.
Now that she heard what Lu Yichen said, she seemed to know something. She could not help but laugh. Then, she shook her head and said, "Maybe? I don't know."
Lu Yichen did not say anything more.
Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao sighed. As expected, there was no free lunch in this world, and there was no sincerity for no reason.
Perhaps she was young, and she did not dress like a married wife, which made that Uncle Wang misunderstand. Every time he sent something to Kang Xiaoqiao, Er Kui's face would turn red. She thought that he was shy, but now that she thought about it...
However, this wasn't a big deal. Kang Xiaoqiao quickly put it aside. After cooking some rice, Kang Xiaoqiao used a special method to fry the king crab. Then, she made a sweet-and-sour pork in a pot. This was a lady's dish. Usually, girls liked to eat it.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao knew that Lu Yichen also liked to eat. Sure enough, Lu Yichen became much warmer when he saw her.
The food was especially sweet. Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but despise him in her heart. You're a man, do you have to be like this? You actually like to eat sweets, eh--
Two dishes were naturally not enough for this big eater, so she made another braised pork with red sauce, another cold dish, and four dishes. The two of them ate beautifully.
Although Kang Xiaoqiao looked quite calm, after understanding the situation, she felt a little uncertain. In this era, the slightest carelessness could be blamed on all sorts of crimes. It really wasn't a harmonious era. She also knew that this speculation... Could lead to jail.
She had finally lived a second life, and she didn't want to experience life in a prison cell.
Halfway through the meal, Kang Xiaoqiao saw that the atmosphere was quite good, so she could not help but ask, "Ahem, that, Yichen, how was yesterday's matter?"
Lu Yichen's hand that was picking up the food paused for a moment. Hmph, he was still thinking how long this stupid girl could hold it in. Now she knew to be afraid.
Therefore, he continued to pick up a piece of meat from a pot and put it into a bowl. He said indifferently, "It hasn't been decided yet. This matter is quite big. If you really can't suppress it, you might have to go to prison for a few days."
"What?"
Kang Xiaoqiao stared at Lu Yichen with her big eyes and immediately said, "Yichen, I, I don't want to go to jail. You have to help me."
Hearing that, Lu Yichen said seriously, "I will help if I can. But, this matter is too big. The higher-ups might kill the chicken to warn the monkeys..."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao said, "Ah? No way?"
Then she said angrily, "What kind of stupid matter is this? I didn't lie to anyone. Why are they so persistent?"
"You want to make an example out of me? Bah--"
Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the stone table.
Lu Yichen saw that her face was pale. He didn't know if she was angry or scared, but he wanted this effect. This stupid girl was too bold. She always wanted to cause trouble, so he still had to teach her a lesson.
Lu Yichen slowly finished his meal, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, you can stay there for a few days. I'll talk to them and won't make things difficult for you."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she quickly grabbed Lu Yichen and said pitifully, "Yichen, Yichen, I don't want to experience life in prison. Um, you can help me think of a way."
Lu Yichen was unmoved and didn't refuse. Kang Xiaoqiao saw that there was a chance and quickly said, "Yichen, I'll definitely perform well in the future and be obedient."
When Lu Yichen heard that, he shook his head and turned to leave. Kang Xiaoqiao saw that he was anxious and quickly followed him. She stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, don't go. Let's talk about it."
"Look, if I go to prison, how big of an impact will it have on your reputation? Having a wife who has been in prison, how bad would it be if word got out?"
Lu Yichen was unmoved. Kang Xiaoqiao suddenly thought of something. She narrowed her eyes and seemed to have come to a sudden realization. "Well, you can't be thinking that when I go to prison, you will use this as an excuse to file for divorce. A woman who has been in prison is definitely problematic. With your status, you naturally can't be with me. This will not harm your reputation."
Lu Yichen's face turned black when he heard that. However, Kang Xiaoqiao did not care and continued, "Hey, hey, Lu Yichen, we can discuss this."
"I know that you've suffered a lot by marrying me. You actually don't want to marry me. Although I don't know your family background, no matter how bad it is, you definitely can't marry someone like me."
"So, I promise you that no matter what time it is, if you want a divorce, I will absolutely cooperate with you. I will definitely not be as unreasonable as before and make things difficult for you. What do you think?"
"Just help me this time, I..."
The more Kang Xiaoqiao said, the colder the temperature around her became. Finally, when she saw Lu Yichen's expression that looked like he wanted to tear her apart, she could not help but take a step back. However, it was still too late.
Lu Yichen's eyes were filled with anger. He went forward and grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao's arm. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Say it again?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was a little confused. What did she say that was wrong? Previously, Lu Yichen was indeed not satisfied with this marriage pretense. She could feel it from the original owner's memory.
He did not want to look at her at all. Although he had changed a lot during this period of time due to her persuasion, Kang Xiaoqiao could understand the great disparity in status.
Kang Xiaoqiao was just testing him. No matter when, a woman in prison would not have a good reputation no matter where she went.
Lu Yichen was impervious. Kang Xiaoqiao thought about it and stimulated him to see his reaction. She could also know some things. There was nothing she could do. It was as if she was blind and did not know anything. The only information she could get now was from Lu Yichen.
However, although she was interested in Lu Yichen and thought that he was a good person, she knew that she wasn't the type to be a good wife and mother.
Lu Yichen was a soldier. He needed a wife who would give up everything for him. If she couldn't do it, she had more important things to do. If they couldn't take care of the family, wouldn't it be a disaster if they lived together?
