Reborn on My Wedding Night: This Time, I Won't Fail My Soldier Husband
But he did not.
He rushed out to stop it before any terrible consequences could occur.
"Thank you."
Regardless of his motives, he was the one who saved her clothing store from disaster today.
Zhu Chaodong waved his hand, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face: "I am truly sorry for the past. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to formally apologize to you both."
His dark face flushed red: "It was all your sister-in-law Xiulan. She’s been acting like she’s possessed, desperate to bring all her sisters out from their hometown and hoping they all marry well. That’s why she treated you that way. I’ve already beaten her, and she won’t dare do it again."
"And me, I was wrong too. I kept thinking that since she is my wife, it is my responsibility to protect her. My repeated favoritism was actually wrong."
If Dong Shuyao didn't already know that he was abusive toward Jiang Xiulan and was having an affair with his own sister-in-law, she might have almost believed this speech of his.

She wondered if A-Zhou would be fooled.
Lu Yuzhou smiled at Zhu Chaodong: "We are all comrades who have been through life and death together. Let the past be the past. Thank you, Political Commissar, for today. I’ll treat you to a meal later."
"I haven't done anything wrong, why are you arresting me?"
"It... it was Jiang... mmmph!"
Zhu Chaodong stifled the rest of Old Lady Huang's words.
Yuexi had told him that Jiang Xiulan had found this old woman to cause trouble for Dong Shuyao.
He had finally regained Lu Yuzhou's favor; he couldn't let this old hag ruin it again.
He walked away before threatening her: "Your son is a soldier under Battalion Commander Song, right? If you don't want anything to happen to him, keep your stinking mouth shut."
"Wife!"
