Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

The denunciation letter wasn’t submitted through official channels. Instead, it had been posted directly on the wall next to the entrance of the military district.

It wasn’t in some inconspicuous corner, but the first person to discover it was Zhang Jufang.

Zhang Jufang was idly strolling around the compound with her child when she suddenly spotted the note.

More importantly, the moment she saw it mentioned Su Zhaozhao and her alleged scandals, she immediately cried out.

"Heavens, isn’t this Camp Commander Xie Huaizheng’s wife? How could she have done so many disgraceful things! Goodness, if I were her, I’d just die of shame. How can she be so shameless? To actually dare to marry Camp Commander Xie! He must have been deceived by her looks."

Zhang Jufang’s voice was very loud. In an instant, several military wives heard her and gathered by the wall. When they read the denunciation against Su Zhaozhao, they were all in disbelief.

"This is Camp Commander Xie’s wife?"

In recent times, Su Zhaozhao had, without realizing it, become quite famous within the compound.

For one, she was stunningly beautiful. On top of that, she had helped people in the compound before.

For another, she was Xie Huaizheng’s wife.

Xie Huaizheng had been the resident "golden bachelor." Many people, both in the army and in the family compound, had wanted to set him up with someone.

He was handsome, capable, and seemed to have high moral standards. There probably wasn’t a woman alive who wouldn’t like him.

But Xie Huaizheng never seemed interested in women.

No matter how many introductions people arranged for him, he never showed any interest.

He wasn’t even interested in the pretty girls from the military’s song and dance troupe.

So when they learned Xie Huaizheng had gotten married, they were all incredibly curious and eagerly gossiped about his new wife, keeping a close eye on her.

And so, they saw Su Zhaozhao.

Su Zhaozhao’s looks were so striking that no ordinary person could ever forget her after seeing her once.

And with time on their hands, the thing military wives loved most was to gossip.

In no time at all, everyone in the compound knew of Su Zhaozhao.

They all knew Xie Huaizheng had found himself a woman so beautiful she put movie stars to shame.

Su Zhaozhao herself had no idea that every time she appeared in the compound, all eyes would uncontrollably fall on her.

Of course, the looks they gave her were mostly filled with goodwill.

So when they saw the denunciation against Su Zhaozhao, no one was happy—except for Zhang Jufang.

They didn’t understand. How could a young woman as beautiful and good-natured as Su Zhaozhao be the target of a denunciation?

The letter accused her of having improper relationships and claimed she had deliberately found a man with a name very similar to her former fiancé, proving she still had lingering feelings for him.

It also claimed she had no educational qualifications but had somehow managed to get hired as a teacher at the military district’s elementary school, so she must have pulled some strings.

Accusations like these made it clear that the writer was out to completely destroy her.

The denunciation letter was anonymous, but the handwriting was neat and elegant, looking as if it were written by a well-educated person.

Furthermore, the script had a certain delicate grace, suggesting it was written by a woman.

If a woman had written it, that would make sense. The author was likely just extremely jealous of Su Zhaozhao.

After all, with Xie Huaizheng being so handsome, there were surely no shortage of girls who liked him.

But poor Su Zhaozhao... If these accusations turned out to be true, she would be utterly finished.

But even if it was all false, the accusations would still undoubtedly affect her.

Zhao Shuqin saw it too. She rushed forward, tore the letter off the wall, and said, "This is all lies! I know Zhaozhao. She’s not that kind of person at all!"

After all, Zhaozhao had saved her and her child’s lives! She had helped everyone on that entire bus, so Zhao Shuqin refused to let anyone slander her.

Zhang Jufang retorted sarcastically, "Well, listen to you, jumping to her defense. You even tore it down? That just goes to show it’s true. Stop making excuses."

"I’m not making excuses! I just don’t believe Zhaozhao would do something like this! The person who wrote this didn’t even dare to sign their name. It’s obviously fabricated!"

"How could they fabricate something so detailed? They even made up a former fiancé with a similar-sounding name? Someone who’s also in the military district, with a name similar to Camp Commander Xie’s..." Zhang Jufang frowned, thinking hard.

Finally, she spoke up. "I’ve got it! It’s Xie Huaizhen, isn’t it!"

Xie Huaizhen was, in fact, one of the prospects the military wives had considered for their younger sisters and other young female relatives.

He was also quite handsome with a good personality—a rare and outstanding young man.

The only drawback, however, was probably his family background. It was said to be somewhat unfortunate, and wasn’t his personality a bit withdrawn?

Plus, Xie Huaizhen’s own brilliance was overshadowed by Xie Huaizheng’s, so most people didn’t pay him much mind.

But now, this denunciation letter had made her connect the dots.

"I’ll just go find Xie Huaizhen and ask him myself!"

’If Xie Huaizhen really was Su Zhaozhao’s former fiancé, then the contents of this letter are most likely true.’

With that, Zhang Jufang held her child and left the compound. She was going to wait at the entrance to the base for Xie Huaizhen to finish his training. Or, she could have her husband ask him.

Zhao Shuqin watched Zhang Jufang’s retreating back and shook her head. ’That Zhang Jufang, what a busybody. She can’t help but spread any piece of bad news she finds.’

’Even though I tore down the letter,’ Zhao Shuqin thought, ’the news will probably spread throughout the entire compound in less than half a day.’

’She didn’t know how Su Zhaozhao had offended Zhang Jufang, but beautiful women have always been easy targets for jealousy.’

At this thought, Zhao Shuqin couldn’t help but shake her head again. She took the torn letter and went to find Su Zhaozhao.

’She had to tell the person involved first.’

Su Zhaozhao had been about to head out to the Li family’s home when Zhao Shuqin showed up. After seeing the denunciation letter, Su Zhaozhao laughed in exasperation.

’So, it’s Gu Qingran.’

’She hadn’t thought Gu Qingran would stoop to such a despicable tactic.’

’But she had to admit, Gu Qingran was quite skilled at writing these letters, twisting the facts of her real situation to create this narrative.’

’Then, using subtle, damning phrasing, she made everything seem so plausible, painting Su Zhaozhao as the villain.’

Su Zhaozhao clutched the letter, her first instinct to go and confront Gu Qingran directly.

But on second thought, she decided against it.

’She knew that people might try to use these things against her again in the future. She might as well go straight to the commanding officer and ask for a fair judgment.’

"Thank you," Su Zhaozhao said to Zhao Shuqin. "I’ll clear up these rumors."

"Zhaozhao, is there anything I can do to help?"

Zhao Shuqin was worried a young woman like Su Zhaozhao wouldn’t be able to handle this. ’She must be panicking right now, right?’

But Su Zhaozhao just shook her head. "It’s alright, I can handle this myself. I’m already very grateful to you for telling me about it."

After she spoke, Su Zhaozhao took the letter, went downstairs, and headed toward Li Jian Country’s home.

Coincidentally, she was already planning to go to the Li family’s home. Proclaiming her innocence would just be a stop along the way.
