Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 248 Hurry up and get a divorce so I can make room for you!

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Qiao Manman was still asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Sister Qiao, something terrible has happened! Your Battalion Commander Lu's fiancée is here!"

Qiao Manman: "......"

After getting dressed, he opened the door and said, "Sister-in-law, you must be joking. My Lu Yuan has no other fiancée besides me!"

"How could that be? They've already found the family compound. Could it be that your Lu Yuan is lying to you?"

Qiao Manman remained calm, smoothing a stray hair behind her ear: "Is it possible that the woman lied?"

The sister-in-law who came to deliver the news was taken aback: "Really? Would a woman joke about her reputation?"

"Why not? If we can get on Lu Yuan's good side, what does it matter if our reputation is ruined!"

Qiao Manman straightened her clothes: "Let's go, let's go check out the situation!"

"Okay, okay!"

The woman who came to deliver the message was named Zou Xiyun. Her husband was the deputy regimental commander, and he loved to gossip about everyone.

But this person isn't a bad person; they're always willing to lend a hand to their neighbors when they're in trouble. This time, besides being a bystander, they genuinely care about Qiao Manman.

The two followed each other to the entrance of the residential compound, where they found a large crowd gathered to watch the commotion. At the center of the excitement was a woman dressed in tattered clothes and with disheveled hair.

"Sister-in-law, this woman claims to be Battalion Commander Lu's wife! I chased her away, and she even cursed at me!" Xu Tianrui complained, feeling wronged.

Qiao Manman smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

After saying that, she calmly walked outside and asked in a gentle tone, "Madam, I am Lu Yuan's wife. May I ask what business you have with him?"

Qian Xiaoni stared at Qiao Manman in shock: "You, aren't you Chen Junyan's wife?"

Everyone: "......"

"Is this girl out of her mind?"

Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat. She thought, "Another transmigrator? That shouldn't be the case. This world has its own laws. How could it allow a soul from another world to be riddled with holes?"

Upon closer inspection, she noticed a wisp of black mist swirling around the woman's head. She realized it was definitely Meng Peiyu's doing.

Then he laughed and said, "Comrade, you've got it wrong. I'm Lu Yuan's wife. My surname is Qiao, and my name is Qiao Manman. Commander Chen's wife is named Meng Peiyu."

"No, no, you should marry Chen Junyan, and I am Lu Yuan's wife. As for Meng Peiyu, she was dumped by Lu Yuan and will live a lonely life!"

"Comrade, you can't just say things like that. Battalion Commander Lu and I are married!"

Qian Xiaoni frowned: "Lu Yuan is only a battalion commander? That's not right. At this stage, he should be a regimental commander!"

"Lu Yuan's position is decided by the leaders. What's wrong with you, a woman? How do you know about things in the team? Did someone tell you, or did you find out yourself? Tell me, what's your purpose!"

Qiao Manman's words jolted the gossip-loving people awake.

"Holy crap, could she be a spy?! What's she trying to do, sow discord among the military wives? Battalion Commander Lu and Regiment Commander Chen are the backbone of the unit; if she makes them distrust each other..."

"Arrest him! He must be arrested!"

Qian Xiaoni looked at everyone in shock: "Sister Zhang, Sister Jiang, Sister Li, it's me, Xiaoni, Lu Yuan's wife! Although I'm not married to him yet, I'm destined to become his family!"

Everyone looked at Qiao Manman strangely, then heard her snort coldly: "Then you'd better wait!"

Qian Xiaoni suddenly pounced on Qiao Manman like a madwoman: "Who told you to marry Lu Yuan? Who told you to take my place?"

My Xiaotian sacrificed himself to save Lu Yuan, so he should marry me! It was you, you ruined my marriage! You better get a divorce and make room for me!

Qiao Manman dodged to the side, avoiding Qian Xiaoni's attack, and finally confirmed the other party's identity.

He mentally complained to the system, "I never expected that the woman in the book who ruined Lu Yuan's life would look like this. If she were more educated and reasonable, I wouldn't feel sorry for Lu Yuan."

Just then, Lu Yuan, who had received the news, arrived, bringing with him Chen Junyan, who had come to find out what was going on.

Upon hearing Qian Xiaoni's words that Qiao Manman was originally supposed to be Chen Junyan's wife, Lu Yuan felt a surge of anger. Chen Junyan, meanwhile, glanced at Qiao Manman with surprise, a bitter taste rising in his mouth.

Lu Yuan strode forward and stood in front of Qiao Manman, saying, "Lady, if you have something to say, talk to me. Don't bully my wife!"

When Qian Xiaoni saw the person she wanted to see, she opened her arms to hug him: "Lu Yuan, it's me, Xiaoni! I... I've come to find you. I found you a year early so we won't waste any more time."

Glancing at Qiao Manman behind him, tears streamed down his face: "How could you marry her without waiting for me!"

"Who are you? Do I know you?" Lu Yuan found this woman inexplicable.

The others pointed to her head: "There seems to be something wrong with her head!"

Qiao Manman tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve: "Take her back and interrogate her thoroughly. I suspect someone is passing messages to her!"

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious: "Lady, please! Let's talk in the office!"

Qian Xiaoni sniffed: "Okay!"

He turned around and led the way. Everyone was astonished that someone who had never been to the military region before could find the office building so accurately.

Brigade Commander He personally interrogated Qian Xiaoni to confirm her identity, and asked, "Why are you so sure that Lu Yuan will marry you in a year?"

Qian Xiaoni's eyes darted away: "I... I dreamt about it!"

"But he's already married!"

"That was Qiao Manman's scheme against him. He should have been engaged to Meng Peiyu."

"But what you're saying is clearly not true!"

Qian Xiaoni countered, "Commander He, why wasn't Lu Yuan promoted to deputy regimental commander after successfully escorting agricultural expert He Zhengze?"

He Yiheng's eyes trembled: "How did you know!"

***

Qiao Manman watched Lu Yuan walk away and then went home, not taking Qian Xiaoni seriously at all.

I thought the female lead must be out of her mind to pull this stunt. She not only failed to disgust her, but also got herself involved. What was she after?

Qian Xiaoni is the same; she attacks without finding out the facts. Isn't she afraid of being seen as crazy? Or does she think that this life is the same as her previous one, and she can control Lu Yuan forever?

Hmph, with her around, no way! If the female lead weren't nearby, she would have just given her a Forget-Me-Not Pill and it would have been over.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Danqiu went to comfort her, saying, "We all know it was that young woman who framed you, so please don't take it to heart!"

Qiao Manman nodded: "Such an outrageous thing, I wouldn't even dare to copy it into a drawing book, so why would I take it to heart? Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Seeing that she was in a relatively stable mood, Zhang Danqiu chatted with her for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

Qiao Manman closed the door and took out a box of canned yellow peaches to eat.

Something's not right. Where's Lu Yuan's adopted son? Why hasn't he shown up? Meng Peiyu wouldn't just create an "ex-wife" to annoy her, would she?

If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it. I happily finished the canned food and took out a mechanical book to study.

If you don't understand something, just ask the system. If you want to "invent" something, just buy the blueprints from the store.

Hmm, she only realized this shortcut after taking fertility pills several times. Truly unprecedented...
