Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Trapped 2

Feng Qingxue, having heard Lu Jiang’s words, was immediately struck with alarm and anxiously asked why.

Lu Jiang glanced at the two children, bent down, and whispered in his wife’s ear, "It’s because Ye Zhengjun’s old superior got into trouble. Given Ye Zhengjun’s personality, he certainly won’t stand idly by. Ye Zhengjun and others were urgently summoned to the Capital, likely to force Ye Zhengjun to testify against his old superior to pin a crime on him, but Ye Zhengjun will certainly refuse!"

Not to mention Ye Zhengjun, even Lu Jiang himself would not betray his old superior. What’s the difference between that and being ungrateful?

On the battlefield, betrayal is the least tolerable of all.

Feng Qingxue’s brows furrowed slightly, her mind filled with deep concern, "Didn’t Ye Zhengjun leave any instructions before he left?"

Was it that in the past life Ye Zhengjun got into trouble, and Lu Jiang supported Ye Zhengjun or was unwilling to betray him, unwilling to collude with others to fabricate charges against Ye Zhengjun, which led to both being demoted?

In his past life, Lu Jiang was a division commander, but in this life, he is acting as deputy army commander.

His role is different, but is his fate also different?

Lu Jiang, unaware of his wife’s thoughts, answered her question, "He did leave instructions. He told me to stay here with peace of mind, take good care of his wife, forbid her from entering the Capital, and told us not to fall into disarray because of his situation."

With the commander-in-chief reassigned, the deputy commander-in-chief and Ye Zhengjun summoned to the Capital, and the chief of staff spending most of his time at headquarters, only the military staff officer Wen Hao assisted Lu Jiang in his daily work.

As an acting deputy commander overseeing military district affairs, he was ever vigilant and diligent.

The place was in utter chaos, what more in the Capital, where accidents happen frequently?

Weren’t the constant bad news of the past few months enough to keep them on edge?

After the New Year, when the deputy commander-in-chief returned, he went straight to headquarters to work and did not stay in their military district. However, Ye Zhengjun did not return with the deputy commander-in-chief, who vaguely mentioned that Ye Zhengjun had been dismissed and jailed. Ye Zhengjun’s wife, Guo Cui, wept buckets of tears, packed her bags, and was determined to go to the Capital, but was dissuaded by Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue.

"Ye Zhengjun instructed not to go to the Capital, so you mustn’t go," Feng Qingxue said earnestly.

"I can’t not go," Guo Cui said with resolute determination. "Even if I don’t go to the Capital, I must return home to take charge. The children may be settled, but they have never gone through major trials. I fear they won’t be able to withstand it, and may be incited to do irreparable acts. Don’t try to persuade me; I have made up my mind. Moreover, I will go to the Capital."

At this point, Guo Cui took Feng Qingxue’s hand, "I know you all mean well and didn’t mistreat me after Ye was sent to the labor camp, nor did you drive me away or allow those with superficial opinions to babble nonsense in front of me. But Ye is my life, and I cannot just stand by when he is in trouble. I have to find someone to save at least his life."

"Find someone?" Could it be that she had connections?

Guo Cui nodded at Feng Qingxue, whispering, "I have decent relationships with some of the leaders’ wives in the Capital, some of them even owe me favors. I’ve never asked anything of them before, but now that Ye is in trouble, and he’s not a legitimate target for persecution, saving his life shouldn’t be that hard, right? I know why Ye doesn’t want me to come to the Capital; he doesn’t want me to ask for help. That stubbornness of his, do I not understand it? Just like Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone’s legs, when it comes to Ye’s life, I am willing to do anything as long as it doesn’t harm others."
