Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1278 - 838: Apology/Night Return (Double - )

All the information that reached Fang Xiang’s ears was that a little girl who had just come out of the countryside to join the army, shamelessly seduced Zhou Mikang, and none of the elders in the Zhou family liked her.

After meeting Chuxia, Fang Xiang automatically filled in the gaps and felt that Zhou Nanping was completely right. A girl with such a bewitching look could never be liked by the elders.

Therefore, she came over, all puffed up with arrogance.

As a result, she didn’t see anything she wanted, and a virtual slap in the face resounded "pa pa" in the air.

At this point, if Fang Xiang didn’t realize the gravity of the situation, she’d truly be a fool. She forced a smile and looked at Chuxia: "Third sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. Fortunately, you are generous and don’t hold it against me. To show my sincere regret, I came here specifically to apologize to you!"

After speaking, she bowed deeply three times, lingering long on the last bow, bending down and not rising.

Ha, she thinks she can get off this easily? Chuxia’s lips curled into a mocking smile; did Fang Xiang think so little of her?

"If the sixth sister-in-law hadn’t called you, what would you have done?" Chuxia asked coldly.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Xiang heard this question. She nearly gritted her teeth, but she had brought this on herself and could only force a smile and respond. No one offered her a seat, so she stood there like a prisoner answering interrogation: "I... I have actually been regretting it all along. Even if sister-in-law hadn’t called me, I would have confessed to my third sister-in-law and asked to be punished."

"Fang Xiang, if I weren’t pregnant, it wouldn’t matter whether you apologized or admitted your mistake, but..." Chuxia paused, staring steadily at her, "You knew full well your actions might harm two lives, yet you still did it without hesitation. How much hatred do I have with you for you to strike such a blow? And now, with a few light words of admitting fault, you think I should generously forgive you. Is that what you believe?"

"I..." Fang Xiang glanced at Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu, and Lin Yanqiu, who had been watching her expression, let out a cold snort: "No need to look at us; if it were up to me, I would have thrown you out by now."

Old Madam Zhou pursed her lips but followed her daughter-in-law’s words: "Yes, our family treasures are not to be bullied like this."

A "boom" sounded in Fang Xiang’s mind, and she finally realized how utterly foolish her actions were today. If she had immediately sought out Lin Chuxia to admit her mistake when she received Zhou Nanping’s call, would she be in such a passive position?

No matter how unwilling and envious she felt, she couldn’t let her temper dictate her actions now. Taking a deep breath, Fang Xiang looked at Chuxia: "Third sister-in-law, whatever the punishment, I will accept it."

"What punishment?" Chuxia looked at her indifferently, "I’m not pursuing this, only because you are the sixth sister-in-law’s husband’s younger sister. However, if you ever wrong me again, bear the consequences yourself!"

"Thank you, third sister-in-law, thank you, third sister-in-law!" After expressing her gratitude repeatedly, Fang Xiang hurriedly promised, "Rest assured, third sister-in-law, not only will I not wrong you in the future, but I will absolutely never say half a bad word about you."

Chuxia waved her hand: "Alright, let’s leave it at that."

"Thank you, third sister-in-law!" Fang Xiang then turned to thank Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo waved their hands simultaneously without uttering a word, their attitude clearly indicating they were showing her the door.

"Sister-in-law, why did you let her off so easily?" Yu Tao, looking surprised, asked Chuxia after Fang Xiang left, "From the way you started, I thought you would demand some compensation, but instead you let her go so lightly."

"If I had shown indifference from the start, she would have still held a grudge..." Chuxia shrugged, "With this kind of person, you can only deal with them like this."

Old Madam Zhou looked at Chuxia with a broad smile: "Xiaomi’s wife, I used to think you were straightforward, but now I see I was mistaken."

"Grandma..." Chuxia looked at the old lady with amusement, "Do you think saying that will scare me? I know how much you dote on me; I won’t fall for that." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Child, when I said I was mistaken, I didn’t mean it badly. I meant you are both brave and wise..." The old lady pursed her lips at her, "It really breaks an old lady’s heart when a compliment is misunderstood."

Chuxia straightened her expression, stood up straight, saluted, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, I was wrong!"
