Wan said, "That's right. We, the Qiao family, keep this huge fortune to ourselves and secretly rejoice."

"Is anyone from the Qiao family home?" A knock came from outside.

Old Man Qiao went out, opened the door, and saw an unfamiliar soldier.

"Young man, what's going on here—"

The soldier handed over a small box.

"These are the jewelry that your family members were robbed of yesterday. General Guan sent me to return them."

When Old Man Qiao saw that the box contained gold earrings and a silver bracelet, he understood.

"Okay, thank you very much."

He took the box and handed it to Qiao Yunni.

With so much compensation received, whether the jewelry could be returned was no longer important. However, Qiao Yunni was still very happy to have the jewelry back in her hands.

But after being so forcefully pulled off by Song Laosan, she no longer wanted to wear it.

"Let's take it to town and pawn it sometime."

"Alright, I won't wear it anymore. It's bad luck if it passes through Song Laosan's hands," said Old Lady Qiao.

Song Laosan's hundred-man squad was specially selected by General Guan, who chose those who had the most complaints about Song Laosan.

After being whipped more than a hundred times and given a hundred strokes of the cane in the dark room, Song Laosan still had to train his hundred-man squad on an empty stomach.

As a result, these people ignored his training, were lazy and undisciplined, and made sarcastic remarks.

"Commander Song, you used to be quite the imposing captain, how come you can't even straighten your back now? Did they pull out your dragon tendons?"

"Haha, there's no dragon tendon here, it's clearly shrimp vein."

"Some people are just born to be worthless and worthless; they're just reverting to their original state and can't be presented in a respectable way."

The soldiers burst into laughter, bewildered as to why Song Laosan had been suddenly demoted and why General Guan showed no respect for his son-in-law.

But being demoted is one thing, but General Guan's attitude shows that they can bully Song Laosan at will.

They had all left their hometowns and had been insulted and beaten by Song Laosan, so their hearts were already boiling with resentment.

Now that the opportunity has come, we must repay them properly, tenfold, a hundredfold.

"How dare you! How dare you! Although I have been demoted, I am still your leader and General Guan's son-in-law. How dare you act so disrespectfully in front of me? Guards, drag him away and give him fifty strokes of the cane, a heavy beating."

But no one obeyed his orders.

"It seems to me that General Guan doesn't want to acknowledge you as his son-in-law. Even Miss Guan isn't pleading for you. It's as if he no longer considers you family. Commander Song, what terrible mistake have you made to make General Guan and Miss Guan despise you so much?"

These soldiers felt that although Song Laosan was annoying, today's events were too sudden.

"I heard that Commander Song was married and had a son and a daughter. Could this have reached General Guan's ears? If so, his life is over. Everyone knows that General Guan loves his daughter the most and can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance."

Song Laosan felt his blood surging and almost vomited blood. The movement caused pain all over his back, and he staggered a couple of steps before falling straight to the ground.

He fainted without realizing it.

But the story isn't over yet.
