Chapter 878: Crazy Woman

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The security guard, upon uttering his words, sprung into action, intent on driving Zhang Mei away.

Zhang Mei, who had spent most of her life without acquiring any real skills, was adept at creating chaos. Seeing the guard’s attempt to throw her out, she quickly darted into the house, all the while shouting, “They’re hitting me! These ruthless soldiers are hitting me! Son-in-law, save me!”

Gong Zhan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling incredibly irritated. He saw Zhang Mei as no different from the common market shrews, and couldn’t fathom her stupidity. She had assumed that Gu Zi was respected by the capital’s soldiers because she was pretending to be his wife. Ha, he now saw the truth clearly. He didn’t have that ability. He had to admit, Su Shen was much stronger than him.

However, Zhang Mei was still his mother-in-law in name. If she truly sought his help, he had no reason to let others throw her out in front of him.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud “bang” from the door. The guard’s voice echoed, “Deputy Commander Gong, we won’t let these idle people disturb your rest…”

The voice faded away, and Gong Zhan, seeing that Zhang Mei couldn’t reach him, breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were cold and stern. Once he returned to Guangcheng, he had to divorce Lin Miao. He didn’t want to have anything to do with this family anymore!

Zhang Mei was caught by the security guard and pushed out of the hospital’s main entrance. She let out a cry as she fell to the ground, wailing in pain. The commotion attracted many onlookers. A military wife visiting the hospital asked the guard with concern, “Xiao Ye, why are you so violent? How could you treat this lady like this?”

Xiao Ye, recognizing the woman, put his hands on his hips and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s not that I’m violent. This woman is too arrogant. As soon as she arrived, she insulted our Commander Su’s wife. She’s relying on the fact that she’s Deputy Commander Gong’s mother-in-law, and even said she wanted to drive the commander’s wife away. Does she think she can just drive the commander’s wife away with her words? She’s causing a ruckus in the military hospital. It would be too lenient to not throw her in jail for a few days!”

Commander Su was a celebrated hero of the capital’s military district. Madam Gu Zi, despite her tender age, had shown nothing but kindness and genuine affection towards Commander Su and his three stepsons. She had given Commander Su a blissful family life, a fact that everyone greatly appreciated. They admired her deeply. Yet, this middle-aged woman dared to slander Madam Gu Zi, an act that no one in the military district could tolerate.

Upon hearing this, the military wives’ expressions changed instantly. Their faces displayed disbelief, and some even showed signs of anger.

“How dare anyone defame the wife of Commander Su?” one exclaimed. “Auntie, you’re audacious. You show no gratitude. You’re here visiting your son-in-law, flaunting the prestige of being a military officer’s relative, and it’s all thanks to Commander Su. You should show more respect to Madam Gu Zi.”

“Indeed,” another chimed in. “This mission was fraught with danger. The soldiers who returned alive owe their lives to Commander Su’s leadership. He guided them through the terrifying northern soldier’s tomb. Commander Su is our benefactor, preserving countless military families. No one is allowed to bully his wife under our watch!”

“I bet she doesn’t even know that her beloved son-in-law, Deputy Commander Gong of the Southeast Military District, is the one who put us all in this predicament,” a third woman added. “Thanks to Commander Su, who took on the rescue mission, not only was her son-in-law saved, but so were our husbands. How dare you disrespect Commander Su’s wife like this? Commander Su treasures his wife.”

The women continued to exchange words, leaving Zhang Mei flushed and flustered. Her eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. “What? Who are you saying Commander Su is? How could he be Gu Zi’s husband? Gu Zi’s husband is a butcher!”

The guard, Xiao Ye, looked at her as if she were a fool. “You’re hilarious. After all this, you still don’t know who our Commander Su is? Where did you come from? Our Commander Su, Su Shen, also known as the Battle Wolf of the battlefield, is a prominent figure in the capital’s military district. He was a student of the martyred Senior Commander Hu. If he hadn’t gone south, he would be someone you could never reach.”

The military wives began to recall some past events. “That’s not all,” one said. “Senior Commander Hu’s dying wish was to marry his only beloved daughter to Commander Su. Their paths diverged due to lack of fate, but now that Commander Su has found his true love, there’s no regret. We’re all happy for him and won’t allow anyone to bully his wife!”

“This woman is actually Deputy Commander Gong’s mother-in-law,” another woman mused. “Well, Deputy Commander Gong, aside from being a bit showy, doesn’t have any major flaws. Madam Chen and Miss Gong Xin are reasonable and generous people. How could the Gong family have such a relative?”

“Regardless of how they became relatives,” a woman directed at Xiao Ye, “you must keep a close eye on her. Don’t let this madwoman in, even if Deputy Commander Gong orders it. Otherwise, you’ll be siding with her against the entire military district’s family courtyard.”
