Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her daughter, Old Mrs. Chen pouted and said, "Before, your brother was in poor health and was worried that he would pass away early. Your sister-in-law was unwilling to stay and raise the child, so she asked me to write something with him, explaining that everything in the house would belong to your nephew from now on."

Chen Yuying never expected her mother to say such a thing: "Mom, that house of yours was allocated by your former work unit. Later, the unit provided a benefit that allowed us to buy our own. My older brother and I paid for it together. Why did you give it all to my younger brother?"

At the time, her younger brother had just started working and didn't have any money, so she and her older brother paid for the house.

We agreed then that if my mother lived, the house would be left for her to live in, or it could be rented out and the rent collected would be used to support her retirement.

If their mother passes away, the house will be sold, and she and her eldest brother will split it equally.

But now, without the consent of any of them, their mother has decided to give the house to their younger brother, which is truly disheartening.

Grandma Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with her showing favoritism.

"Your in-laws are well-off, and your brother earns a high salary. Besides, with that country woman around, giving him more money won't help. It's better to leave this money to your younger brother. If you have difficulties in the future, will he, as your younger brother, just stand by and do nothing?"

Ling Jiuyue chuckled: "You dote on your youngest son so much that you wish you could give him your heart. He also loves you quite a bit and has arranged your fate. He put kerosene in your residence, right next to your bed, and then broke the power switch. You were delirious and got up at night to spill the kerosene, creating the illusion of a fire."

Not only can you rightfully inherit all the estate, but you also won't have to worry about the bank debts, because your mother was the one who signed the loan agreement!

Chen Yuying hadn't noticed the signature on the evidence earlier, but after taking it out again and looking at it carefully, she realized it was indeed her mother's signature.

"Mom, why did you sign this in the first place?"

Grandma Chen looked bewildered: "I...I don't know. Your brother made me sign it, so I signed it. He's my own son, how could he possibly harm me?"

Chen Yuying felt cold all over. Her younger brother, the most beloved member of the family, had tricked her into signing documents and taking out so many loans, taking advantage of their mother's limited literacy.

"Your own son wouldn't harm you? Ha! He wants you dead, Mom!"

"Impossible!" Old Mrs. Chen shook her head, "Don't talk nonsense. Your brother isn't that kind of person. I'm his biological mother. How could he possibly harm me? Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

Ling Jiuyue knew who this "other person" was: "Grandma, I'm not making this up. If you don't believe your son would harm you, just go to Hongxing Road and see for yourself. That woman, your son is raising her on Hongxing Road."

Suppressing her anger, Chen Yuying took a deep breath: "Comrade Xiao Ling, thank you very much for today. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer!"

Ling Jiuyue accepted the reward and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Old Madam Chen.

"Don't go yet!"

Chen Yuying was taken aback: "Mom, what are you going to do?"

Grandma Chen grabbed Ling Jiuyue and looked at her daughter: "Yuying, your brother... your brother was just confused for a moment. Don't let her tell your sister-in-law about this. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Let's resolve this quietly behind closed doors."

Ling Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that even now, the old lady still thought she was sent by her eldest daughter-in-law to stir up trouble.

Chen Yuying laughed angrily: "Mom, we found medicine bottles, a mortgage contract, and a longevity lock in his room. The facts are right in front of us, are you still going to pretend you don't know and side with him?"

Grandma Chen stubbornly said, "What if... what if your brother has his reasons? You know your sister-in-law, she's strong-willed and relies on her family background. She never says a kind word to your brother. Your brother must have been bullied by her so badly that he... that's why he looked for other women."

Chen Yuying was so angry she didn't know what to say: "Fine, even if your sister-in-law is domineering, even if the two of them had a fight and were unhappy, that's no excuse for him to coax you into signing and then drug you, is it?"

"Maybe...maybe this was orchestrated by that woman outside. Daughter, you watched your brother grow up. He's still young and doesn't know any better. He's not a bad person. Maybe...maybe he just acted out of momentary confusion."

"Besides...besides, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong. You...you should talk to this guy properly, let's pretend this never happened. Your sister-in-law is very domineering, if she finds out about this, she'll definitely make a scene and divorce your brother. Then...wouldn't you be hurting your brother?"

Ling Jiuyue glanced at the door, realizing that she couldn't keep it a secret from her daughter-in-law any longer.

Just as she had predicted, the next moment, Chen Yuying's younger brother and sister-in-law entered the house with red and swollen eyes and a livid face.

"No need to hide it anymore, I know everything. Old lady, even if it means death, you must tolerate your son. If you're willing, no one will force you, but don't expect me to tolerate him with you. This divorce is for the taking!"

Chen Yuying stiffened as she looked at her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you..."

The younger sister wiped her face: "I know everything. Chen Yuming not only mortgaged the property and embezzled public funds, he... he also borrowed money from my relatives, saying that I had a serious illness and didn't want me to know. If it weren't for... if I hadn't overheard my sister talking to my cousin today, I wouldn't have known about this."

This man is so vicious! For another woman, he disregards his own mother, his wife, and his children. How could I dare to continue sharing a bed with such a heartless person!

Chen Yuying was surprised. She hadn't expected that her seemingly gentle and honest younger brother had done so many things behind the scenes.

Now that things have escalated to this point, it's no longer important whether the old lady wants to pursue her son's crime, but the wife certainly won't let her off the hook.

After leaving the Chen family, Ling Jiuyue's feelings were extremely complicated. She thought about buying some things and going to the military academy to see Qin Shixiao.

When she arrived at the military academy gate, she saw a woman carrying a snakeskin bag, sweating profusely, looking around hesitantly. She seemed to want to ask the sentry a question, but was too timid to speak.

Ling Jiuyue stepped forward: "Big sister, are you... looking for someone?"

The woman nodded: "My name is Huang Meizhen. I heard that my husband came here for further studies, and I wanted to...want to talk to him about family matters."

Ling Jiuyue smiled and said, "What's your man's name? I'm going in to find my boyfriend anyway, I'll take you with me."

Huang Meizhen was extremely grateful: "My husband's name is Chen Erzhu."

"Chen Erzhu?"

The registration staff at the entrance flipped through the list of trainees and shook their heads, saying, "Ma'am, we don't have a single officer named Chen Erzhu here. Could the person you're looking for be a military academy student?"

Ling Jiuyue interjected, "That can't be right, military academy students are all unmarried."

The registration staff member slapped his forehead: "Oh right, I forgot about that. But there really isn't a Chen Erzhu among the officers and cadres who are undergoing further training."
