Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Stop Slandering People

Ge Qiutang was startled by the roar. Without looking, she knew it was Qiao Shaoguo.

She inwardly cursed. Which vexing fool ruined my perfect plan?

She had always wanted to cause trouble for Ji Rongjia but never found the right opportunity. Now that she finally had a chance, it was interrupted, leaving her face full of resentment.

Seeing Chief Qiao squeeze in, she knew she couldn’t continue. However, she still played the victim first, saying, ”Chief Qiao, you have to stand up for me.

This Doctor Ji, even when she’s just applying medicine to my husband, she’s flirting with him! Isn’t she trying to seduce my Changxuan into making a mistake?”

Ji Rongjia, her face full of defiance, retorted, ”Stop spouting nonsense at me.”

Song Changxuan, the team leader, endured the pain in his leg and also bellowed, ”Ge Qiutang, you shut your mouth!”

They both spoke at the same time.

This made Ge Qiutang even more furious. ”Song Changxuan, what do you mean by this? Are you saying I’m blind?

At a time like this, you yell at me for an outsider! Fine, just fine! I know you look down on me. But the person married to you right now is me! The one who bore your children and raised them is me!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Rongjia’s expression turned extremely ugly. ”You’re truly going too far!”

After saying that, she ran out crying.

Veins bulged on Song Changxuan’s forehead in frustration. ”Ge Qiutang, are you trying to drive everyone to their death?”

Ge Qiutang paid no mind to what he said. ”I’m just telling the truth. Her presence threatens my family. If she’s as innocent as you claim, why didn’t she leave when they tried to transfer her to another regiment last time?

I may not be educated, but I’m not a fool. I’ll throw her words right back at you!”

Song Changxuan, still furious, hadn’t yet grasped what she meant and shouted, ”What did she say?”

A busybody old woman in the crowd, eager for gossip, called out loudly, ”Just now, Doctor Ji said, ’You’re really pushing people too hard!’”

Standing next to the old woman, a male educated youth corrected her, ”Granny, it was ’You’re truly going too far!’”

The old woman laughed, somewhat embarrassed. ”Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, it was ’You’re truly going too far!’”

Song Changxuan’s face darkened. He was fed up with Ge Qiutang’s shrewish behavior.

But he also understood that he hadn’t given her enough security. Coupled with the instigation from gossips within the Agricultural Reclamation Group, she had become as jumpy as a startled bird. Any slight contact between him and Ji Rongjia would set her off.

In fact, what she said wasn’t wrong. Various parties had tried to get Ji Rongjia transferred to another regiment last time, but she had firmly refused.

Whenever she saw him, she would say ambiguous things. He wasn’t unaware of her intentions. He had warned her many times and had also done his best to keep his distance.

But her refusal to leave was a thorn in Ge Qiutang’s side.

Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to force her to leave; after all, he had wronged Ji Rongjia in the past.

He sighed inwardly. Life is distressing, but Ge Qiutang is also a victim. Perhaps she was very willing to marry me, so even knowing I had a fiancée, she didn’t refuse those people’s suggestions back then.

Suppressing his irritation, he softened his voice, ”Qiutang, can you stop making a scene, please?”

Seeing him relent, Ge Qiutang decided to back down now that she had the upper hand. That vixen Ji had already been chased off by her anger. No matter how upset she still felt, her husband was injured. ”Song Changxuan, seeing as you’re injured, I won’t stoop to her level this time. But if she dares to seduce you with those eyes again, don’t blame me for tearing her apart.”

Even though she was retreating for now, she wouldn’t let that woman surnamed Ji off easily.
