Chapter 88 Escape from Marriage
Chapter 88 Escape from Marriage
The soldiers around her, seeing Zhao Wanqing weeping so bitterly, couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Some people began to whisper among themselves, thinking that Zhao Wanqing might really have been wronged.
"General, Miss Zhao looks really pitiful. Could it be a misunderstanding?"
A young soldier asked in a low voice.
Another veteran chimed in, "Yes, General, we all know you've always been upright, but this does seem a bit suspicious."
Lu Yuan Changming frowned, knowing he couldn't let his emotions get out of control at this moment.
He turned to the general and said firmly, "Please send someone to take Zhao Wanqing away from the camp. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable."
The general nodded, though he still had doubts, but ordered several soldiers to take Zhao Wanqing away.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Wanqing cried even more bitterly, shouting, "General, are you really going to do this to me? I really didn't do anything wrong!"
Her cries echoed in the night, and many soldiers could no longer bear to watch.
Several soldiers even stepped forward to persuade her, "Miss Zhao, please leave first. We will find out the truth."
Seeing the sympathetic looks from the crowd, Zhao Wanqing cried even harder.
She clung tightly to a soldier's leg, refusing to let go, and kept shouting, "You can't do this to me! I've been framed!"
The scene descended into chaos, and the soldiers were unsure of what to do.
"Either let Zhao Wanqing stay first, and give me two days. I will definitely find the evidence."
At this moment, Lu Yuan's long voice rang out again.
He saw that everyone was questioning him and the morale of the troops was already low. If he let Zhao Wanqing leave now, it would make the soldiers even more resentful of him.
Lu Yuanchangming turned to the general and said, "Please be sure to carry out my orders. I will personally find the evidence and give everyone an explanation."
The general nodded in acknowledgment.
Lu Yuanchangming stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He had originally felt a little compassion for Zhao Wanqing's plight, but now Zhao Wanqing had outmaneuvered him.
He felt utterly disgusted with Zhao Wanqing at this moment. He hated that Zhao Wanqing was not only ruthless but also shameless, trying to force the issue.
He knew that although the storm had subsided for the time being, the truth had not yet been fully revealed, and the crisis of trust in the military camp had only just begun.
Some soldiers said that despite their lingering doubts, they chose to trust their general.
"Now, everyone please go back and rest, and don't gather here to watch."
The general announced loudly.
The soldiers gradually dispersed, but an uneasy atmosphere still lingered in the air.
Lu Yuanchangming's military camp has returned to calm.
However, the impact of this incident is far from over.
In the military camp, Lu Yuanchangming's father was also a high-ranking general. His father had placed some trusted confidants in the camp, and he kept a close eye on Lu Yuanchangming's every move.
Upon learning of Zhao Wanqing's incident, her confidant immediately realized that it might be important intelligence.
He quickly wrote a detailed letter, recording the entire incident, and sent someone overnight to deliver the message by carrier pigeon to Lu Yuanchangming's father.
Lu Yuanchangming's biological father opened the envelope and began to read it carefully. As the contents of the letter unfolded, the old general's face grew increasingly grim.
"You bastard!"
The old general slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily, "I raised you all these years, and I never expected you to be such a scoundrel!"
He paced back and forth, his anger barely contained.
The old general knew that his son's actions not only affected the morale of the troops, but could also cause even bigger problems.
In order to resolve the matter as soon as possible, the old general decided to write a reply to his son himself.
My son:
I have recently heard about what happened in your camp, and I am deeply dissatisfied. Your treatment of a woman in this way is truly inappropriate. Although I am far away, I have also heard of your actions.
I hereby inform you that if you do not immediately marry this woman, you shall no longer acknowledge me as your father!
You have been taught by me since childhood; how could you not know benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness? You must reflect deeply on this matter. Remember, as a descendant of the Li family, you must prioritize the greater good and not let momentary impulse ruin important matters. I hope you will act quickly and not disappoint me again.
For Father's Pen
After finishing the letter, the old general folded it up, put it in an envelope, and handed it to his bodyguard: "Quickly send this letter to my son's camp."
After receiving the letter, Lu Yuanchangming was in a state of utter confusion.
He knew that his father's words could not be disobeyed, but he also understood that Zhao Wanqing was no good person and that she was hiding many secrets. He was caught in a deep dilemma.
He knew that if he did not obey his father's orders, he might lose his father's and even the trust and support of the military.
However, marrying Zhao Wanqing would bring even more pain and hidden dangers.
He sat at the table, pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
In any case, he had to find a way to satisfy his father's demands while ensuring his own and the army's safety.
He already had a plan in mind: to secretly investigate Zhao Wanqing's background and uncover the truth behind her.
In any case, he would not let his father down, nor would he allow his army to be threatened.
As night fell once more, Lu Yuanchangming stood outside his tent, gazing at the distant starry sky, his heart filled with determination and courage.
He knew that the road ahead would be fraught with peril, but he would never back down. He had to find a way to get rid of Zhao Wanqing without violating military discipline.
He decided to use his intelligence and cunning to devise a plan to "escape the marriage".
The plan had to satisfy his father while ensuring he wouldn't be punished by military discipline.
Lu Yuan summoned several trusted confidants and whispered, "We must take action tonight. I have a plan."
Several trusted confidants immediately gathered around and listened attentively.
"First, I will leave the camp to create the illusion of an emergency military matter."
Lu Yuanchangming explained, "You need to help me spread the word that there is enemy activity at the front lines and that I need to go there immediately to deal with it."
One of the trusted men, Scarface, nodded to indicate that he understood: "General, rest assured, we will arrange everything."
"Secondly, I need you to take a team of trusted men to meet me outside the military camp. We need to choose a hidden route to ensure we are not discovered."
Lu Yuanchangming continued.
Scarface agreed: "Yes, General. I will personally lead the team and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Finally, we need to find a suitable substitute to spend the night in the tent in my place."
Lu Yuanchangming pondered for a moment, then said, "This person must be reliable and able to temporarily take my place."
Scarface thought for a moment and suggested, "General, I can find a soldier with a similar build, have him wear your clothes, and have him in the tent. That way, even if someone comes in to check, they won't easily discover any flaws."
Lu Yuanchangming nodded in agreement: "Good idea, let's do it your way."
Scarface quickly took action, found a soldier of similar build to Lu Yuanchangming, and explained the importance and specific requirements of the mission to him in detail.
Although the soldier was a little nervous, he still agreed.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuanchangming returned to his tent, waiting for an opportunity.
In the dead of night, he changed into civilian clothes and quietly left the camp.
Scarface was already waiting outside, leading a small, elite team to greet him.
Lu Yuanchangming whispered to Scarface, "Remember, you must ensure that this plan goes smoothly and there are no mistakes."
Scarface replied firmly, "General, rest assured, we will do everything in our power to protect you."
