"My younger sister wouldn't do that." It's probably just that she heard Sheng Ze Xi got married, and her emotions are a little low. Maybe she'll be fine after a while.
Thinking this, Peng Yude breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Time flew by, and the day of the big market arrived.
Gu Jia Ning had made an appointment with Zhang Shuwan to go together.
Although it was still snowing today, the sun came out, and the temperature rose slightly.
Thinking about how she wanted to stun those military wives who spread rumors that she was an Ugly Monster, Gu Jia Ning, although still wearing a military greatcoat, didn't use her red scarf to cover her face. Instead, she revealed her exquisite, beautiful, fair little face.
As soon as Zhang Shuwan arrived and saw Gu Jia Ning's exposed little face, her eyes lit up.
"Then let's go."
At this time, the family members were also rushing towards the market.
Sure enough, they ran into Zhang Shuwan and Gu Jia Ning.
But when their gazes fell on Gu Jia Ning, their eyes went wide.
What a Great Beauty!
Why hadn't they seen her in the military region before?
Was she a girl from an art troupe? Or a relative of some soldier?
She was so beautiful. Look at that little face, almost glowing white in the sunlight, without a single flaw.
Her features were beautiful, her little face was rosy, her lips were full and bright red—she looked very healthy and had a great complexion.
Her eyes were especially beautiful, watery, as if they could speak, or like they contained autumn water.
When someone was looking at Gu Jia Ning, Gu Jia Ning also happened to look back.
Being looked at by those eyes, she instantly felt a tingling sensation, like an electric shock.
Beautiful, too beautiful.
She looked young, probably not married yet.
So, these family members immediately started checking to see if they had any unmarried young men in their own families or their maiden families.
If they could match this girl with one, it wouldn't be bad.
A girl like this, men would definitely like her.
Zhang Shuwan felt many eyes falling on her, one after another, their eyes gleaming, and she felt very happy.
That's right, that's the way to do it, stunning these people, shocking their eyes.
Gu Jia Ning also felt those gazes, but she was fine; perhaps because she had received this kind of attention since she was a child, she was used to it.
"Oh, I remember you, you're Battalion Commander Lin's wife, right? Hello, I'm the wife of Battalion Commander Cui, a comrade of your husband…" At this moment, a military wife in her thirties stepped forward to greet them.
Although she was also a stranger to Zhang Shuwan, she knew a little about her, judging by her appearance as a newcomer.
She spoke, her gaze turning to Zhang Shuwan's side, "Who is this girl?"
Zhang Shuwan had been waiting for someone to ask. Now that this sister-in-law asked, and she also noticed other family members quietly pricking up their ears to listen, she immediately smiled.
She had been waiting for this moment to clear Gu Jia Ning's name.
"Don't you know who she is?"
"You know Battalion Commander Sheng Ze Xi from our military region, right?"
Of course, they knew Battalion Commander Sheng Ze Xi.
Was this girl a relative of Battalion Commander Sheng?
Because of the previous rumor, no one thought in the direction of Sheng Ze Xi's wife. After all, Battalion Commander Sheng's wife was said to be an Ugly Monster, and this girl was so beautiful, as beautiful as Battalion Commander Sheng, so the possibility of her being a relative of Battalion Commander Sheng was greater.
But the next second, Zhang Shuwan's words shattered their assumptions.
"This is Jia Ning, she is our Sheng Ze Xi, Battalion Commander Sheng's, newlywed wife." Zhang Shuwan introduced enthusiastically.
After speaking, looking at the widened eyes of the people around her, she felt a sense of relief.
"What? You're Battalion Commander Sheng's wife? That's impossible!"
"Wasn't it said that Battalion Commander Sheng's wife is an ugly country girl?"
"Yeah, because she's so ugly, her face is full of pockmarks, so she wraps herself up tightly when she goes out."
At this time, someone discovered the key point.
"You also said that this person wraps herself up tightly, so no one has ever seen what she really looks like."
"Then she could also be pretty. Since no one has ever seen her, how can you say she's an Ugly Monster?"
After someone said this, everyone suddenly realized.
Yes, indeed, no one had seen her with their own eyes, only seeing her wrapped up tightly and making wild guesses.
But now, upon closer inspection, they found that the rumor was completely wrong.
What country girl?
This figure, this temperament—a country girl? She has even more temperament than a girl from a big city.
And this face, who could say the words "Ugly Monster" with a clear conscience?
This is clearly a celestial beauty!
Look at how beautiful her features are, how white and smooth her skin is!
If she's still an Ugly Monster, then what are they, ordinary people? Wouldn't they be said to be affecting the city's appearance when they go out?
Those who spread rumors are too fast.
"So she's Battalion Commander Sheng's new wife. She's really beautiful. Hello, I'm Battalion Commander Cui's wife. My husband and Battalion Commander Sheng are good brothers. I'm older than you, just call me Sister-in-law Yu…"
Although she learned that the girl was Battalion Commander Sheng's wife and was already married, she couldn't introduce her to her younger brother.
But Sister-in-law Cui was still very enthusiastic. Sister-in-law Cui didn't have any other hobbies; she just liked talking to beautiful people, regardless of gender.
In her words, just looking at beautiful people could improve her mood.
Gu Jia Ning didn't refuse to associate with these military wives.
She was just not good at socializing, but she didn't dislike it either.
Moreover, it seemed that Sheng Ze Xi had mentioned that Battalion Commander Cui had a good relationship with him, and he intended to invite them to the housewarming party.
"Are you also going to the market? Then let's go together."
So, the three of them chatted and went to the market together.
The remaining people whispered behind them.
As they discussed, the news spread that Battalion Commander Sheng's wife was not an Ugly Monster, but a super Great Beauty…
Gu Jia Ning went to the market with the two sister-in-laws.
This market was a joint venture between several nearby villages and the military region, and it was open every tenth day of the month.
Farmers could bring their surplus agricultural products to the market to sell.
When Gu Jia Ning and the others arrived, many people were already at the market—vendors, buyers, bustling crowds.
Gu Jia Ning originally thought she wouldn't see many things, but there were still quite a few things for sale at the market.
Was it because the Heavy Snow Sealing the Mountains hadn't come yet?
"Two sister-in-laws, why don't we temporarily separate and buy what we need, and then meet at a designated place to go back together in an hour and a half?" Gu Jia Ning suggested.
"Okay." Zhang Shuwan and Sister-in-law Yu both agreed.
After all, they needed to buy different things, so it was more appropriate to separate.
So, Gu Jia Ning separated from them and started to browse.
