This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

”Expel this mother and daughter from the mansion, and from now on, they are never allowed to set foot in the General Mansion again,” Su Rende said. ”And as for that Tang Pozi, sell her directly.”

”Yes.”

”General, you can’t treat me like this. Have you forgotten my husband died saving you?” Pang Family screamed.

Su Rende watched as Pang Family was dragged away, indifferent eyes.

If he were soft-hearted, he wouldn’t have come back alive.

Precisely because they were the wife and daughter of his savior, he had given them chance after chance. But she had exhausted his patience.

”Investigate what kind of insect she was just about to use on me,” Su Rende instructed his personal soldiers.

”Yes.”

Su Rende felt troubled, thinking of the little girl from Taoyao Square and the ever-cold Zhang Zhaodi.

By the time he realized it, he was already standing at the entrance of Taoyao Square.

It’s so late, it doesn’t seem right to intrude at this hour. Moreover, that woman seemed especially disdainful, looking at him as if her eyes were piercing cold knives.

Su Rende paced back and forth at the door. Eventually, he stopped, glanced at the high wall, and climbed over it.

”I’m not a villain, I’m not a rooftop gentleman, I’m just... here to look. Yes, just to look here.”

Su Rende sat on the rooftop, observing the mother and daughter burying wine jars in the yard.

Zhang Zhaodi and Su Yaoguang buried the wine jars, while counting the bizarre customers they met in the shop today.

The duo bantered and laughed, occasionally united in cursing the same person, appearing extremely warm; this was the feeling of family.

His General Mansion was too lonely.

In the past, he busied himself in the military and didn’t feel it deeply. But for some reason, today the feeling was particularly pronounced.

A person appeared beside Su Rende.

Su Rende cautiously drew the sword from his waist.

Zhou Wangshu sat down beside him, saying, ”I’m the son-in-law of this family. I didn’t draw my sword at you, the unexpected guest, yet you intend to draw yours at me.”

Su Rende scrutinized Zhou Wangshu, eyes flashing with surprise.

”You are Su Yaoguang’s husband?”

”Yes.”

”But that girl isn’t very old, how could she be married so early?”

Zhou Wangshu relaxedly sat there, watching the busy figures of Su Yaoguang and Zhang Zhaodi, and replied, ”Yaoguang is eighteen this year.”

”Eighteen, ah, the year I joined the military, this little girl was born!” Su Rende marveled.

”So, General Su joined the military eighteen years ago, what a coincidence. Today my mother-in-law mentioned you look exactly like her deceased husband.”

Su Rende was shocked, looking at Zhou Wangshu with amazement: ”What did you say?”

Zhou Wangshu said casually: ”My mother-in-law stated you look exactly like her husband who joined the military eighteen years ago. Hearing this, we were incredulous, wondering how such coincidences could exist. You joined the military eighteen years ago, my father-in-law also joined eighteen years ago, and you even look identical.”

”How could there be such a coincidence in this world?” Su Rende’s heart skipped a beat. ”Which troop did your father-in-law join?”

”Back then, during the drafting, my father-in-law was taken away; even my mother-in-law probably didn’t know which troop he joined, and I, as a junior, wouldn’t know.”

Su Rende had a bold speculation in mind. However, for him, who had no memory, it was indeed too bold, he didn’t dare to casually voice that speculation.

”This General will find out,” Su Rende said, then jumped off the roof and left quickly.

Zhou Wangshu lay on the rooftop, gazing at the stars in the sky.

The stars looked beautiful tonight.

Actually, as soon as Su Rende arrived at the entrance of Taoyao Square, someone reported to him, and without his permission, Su Rende wouldn’t have had the chance to climb the wall.

Taoyao Square seemed no different, similar to most people’s homes, but in reality, there were many hidden agents and informants.

Zhou Wangshu had mentioned at the dining table that he would investigate this matter. Since he took the task, he would certainly investigate thoroughly. However, even if he deployed many people to investigate, they wouldn’t be as effective as Su Rende’s own investigation. After all, only he knew the matters at the border, and what he didn’t know could be handed over to subordinates for investigation.

While Zhou Wangshu would also investigate, he would verify the information gathered by his men with what Su Rende uncovered, and only then would it be accurate.

Su Rende returned to the General Mansion, immediately summoned his trusted aides, and inquired about matters regarding the border.
