Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 981

Chapter 981: Questioning ( 1 )
Coming out of the woodshed, Li Chenmo said, “Xiao Huang, just stay at home. Father will go to the mountains with your mother and brother.”

Dong Huang pouted her lips and said, “Father, I also want to go to the mountains.”

“You are too young. Wait until you grow up,” Li Chenmo said while patting her head.

Seeing her daughter’s dejected expression, Lu Jueyu said, “How about you visit Xiao Lin today and help him? You can take Xiao Yan and Xiao Fang with you.”

“Mother, what about Brother Jianbai and Brother Jianguo?” Dong Huang asked.

“Today, they are going to the mountains with me,” Dong Li said.

Dong Huang thought for a while and finally agreed, saying, “Okay then. I will listen to my parents.”

After the children left home, Lu Jueyu collected all the harvested vegetables into her own space, then locked the door and followed her husband up the mountain.

At the same time, in the barracks near the capital, Xiao Yiqing was taking care of her small vegetable field. At this time, a young man walked over, his eyes full of worry.

“Sister-in-law,” he called out when he saw Xiao Yiqing.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Yiqing stopped what she was doing and said with a smile, “Xiao Kang, why are you here so early today?”

She looked behind the young man but did not see her husband and asked, “Where is my husband? Didn’t he come back with you?”

After a moment of surprise, Kang He came back to his senses and said, “Sister-in-law, the second lieutenant was injured while performing his mission. He is in the hospital now.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing felt her heart sink and her head was dizzy. Her face turned pale and she staggered back several steps.

Seeing her like this, Kang He stretched out his hand to hold her arms, but saw several people looking at him with meaningful eyes. Due to this, he took back his hand and said, “Sister-in-law, please come with me to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing came to her senses and said, “I will go get the documents.”

Before she could finish her words, she ran back to the building. After drinking the tonic wine brewed by Lu Jueyu, her physical condition improved greatly and she no longer felt breathless when climbing stairs. She also gained a lot of strength after doing light exercise every day.

After entering the house, she went to the bedroom and took out the documents her husband needed and some money. She also prepared two sets of clean clothes and a jar of wound ointment for her husband.

Before leaving the room, she opened a hidden compartment on the floor under the bed and took out a small bottle. Inside the bottle was ginseng powder mixed with other herbs.

This was from Lu Jueyu when she wrote to her last time. She hid the small bottle in her clothes, locked the door, and left. It only took her fifteen minutes to come back with her bag.

Kang He saw her carrying the bag, reached out to take it, and said, “Sister-in-law, the car is already waiting at the entrance gate. We should leave as soon as possible.”

Although Xiao Yiqing’s knees were weak and her body was shaking with fear and shock, she still nodded and followed him.

The two of them half-ran and arrived at the door in less than ten minutes.

When the driver saw them coming, he saluted them and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry too much. The second lieutenant is no longer in danger.”

Xiao Yiqing’s heart trembled when she heard this. She clenched her trembling hands tightly as she sat on the back and nodded, “Thank you.”

It took them nearly two hours to reach the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, Kang He and Xiao Yiqing went directly to the intensive care unit department.

When the nurse saw them, she stood up to stop them and said, “Comrade, you can’t go in without permission.”

Hearing this, Kang He walked to the nurse’s station and said, “Comrade, this is Mu Zigu’s wife.”

The nurse squinted at Xiao Yiqing and said, “Comrade Mu had just finished the operation a few days ago and is not awake yet. You can only visit him after he is transferred to the general ward.”

Although Xiao Yiqing didn’t notice the jealousy flashing in the nurse’s eyes because of her anxiety, Kang He saw it and frowned deeply.

He turned to look at Xiao Yiqing and said, “Sister-in-law, please wait outside for a while. I will go find the doctor and ask about the second lieutenant’s condition.”

Xiao Yiqing nodded and said, “Okay. Thank you, Xiao Kang.”

Not long after Kang He went to find the doctor, the nurse glanced at Xiao Yiqing and said with a snort, “I don’t know what’s so good about this kind of woman. Comrade Mu has been in a coma for several days, and she just came today.”

“Come here and act like a worried wife. I don’t know who she wants to show her pretentiousness to,” she added sourly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yiqing turned around, walked to her, and asked, “Comrade, who are you to my husband? Do you know me that well? Also, what identity do you use to judge me?”

When the nurse heard this, she was stunned for a moment and said with a deep frown, “We are comrades in arms. We have known each other for many years and have a good relationship.”

“So, what you mean is that a mere comrade in arms has the right to call a married man’s legal wife a pretentious person and judge her without knowing anything?”

“As a stranger, you have no right to judge me, and you have no right to make any comments involving my husband. Or do you have other purposes and want to destroy the relationship between me and my husband?” Xiao Yiqing asked coldly.
