Logically, it should have been Tang Zhong, the eldest brother, who served in the army, but he secretly bribed the person in charge of conscription to change Tang Zhong's name to Tang Jian.

In Old Man Tang's mind, Tang Jian had gone to the battlefield and certainly wouldn't survive. However, he didn't have much affection for this son anyway, so his death was fine; at least it would be one less troublesome person.

In the first few years, Tang Zhong received several letters and money from Tang Jian. The letters only asked about the family situation, mostly about Tang's mother and Lin Zao, and rarely mentioned his work in the military camp.

Therefore, they only thought that Tang Jian was just a useless soldier in the army! He might die on the battlefield one day.

However, it was good that they received the money. As for the letter, they naturally burned it, otherwise, if Tang's mother and Lin Zao, those two women, found out, they would cause a ruckus.

They stopped receiving money from Tang Jian after the famine, and they assumed that Tang Jian was dead.

Who would have thought Tang Jian would have this opportunity? He actually became a general by sheer luck!

Tang Zhong was consumed by jealousy, unable to sleep at night!

He thought that if he had gone to the battlefield, he would have performed better than Tang Jian, and the position of general should have been his.

Tang Jian was just a lucky guy who stole someone else's place!

If he hadn't given his conscription spot to Tang Jian, would he have had such good fortune?

He has enjoyed so much good fortune for so many years now, isn't it only right that he give all his assets to his elder brother now?

It just so happens that Tang Jian has gone to war, and there is no one in charge of the General's Mansion. As the father and eldest brother, and as male members of the Tang family, they should be the ones in charge of the General's Mansion!

How dare two ignorant women and children be in charge?

Therefore, Old Man Tang and Tang Zhong brought their family to the entrance of the General's Mansion with great interest.

They had assumed that Tang's mother and Lin Zao would be so frightened by their arrival that they would respectfully welcome them inside.

After all, in their eyes, Tang's mother was an ignorant woman with no opinions of her own, and Lin Zao was like a mute, who dared not fight back when bullied.

So they just showed up at their door without ever considering that Tang's mother and Lin Zao wouldn't let them in.

They never expected that they would dare to have their mouths covered and take them to this estate, which was supposedly the general's manor, without permission.

Fortunately, this estate is also quite large. Although it can't compare to the general's mansion, he only needs to tell the people on the estate that Tang Jian is his son and a general!

The people of the village dared not disrespect them.

The thought that this estate belonged to the Tang family made Old Man Tang and Tang Zhong get up early and patrol the estate. If they saw anyone slacking off, they would angrily go up and scold them.

The two had originally planned to give Tang's mother and Lin Zao a good talking-to when they came to see them. They were also planning to teach these two women, who were not virtuous, a lesson.

Who knew that reality would be so different from what they imagined!

But it doesn't matter. As long as his son Tang Jian doesn't come back, Tang Hong is the most important person in this general's mansion!

Lin Zao saw that after Old Man Tang spoke sharply, he became engrossed in his own fantasy, with a dreamy smile on his face, and knew what he was thinking.

But no matter how much he thinks, it's all just wishful thinking!

Lin Zao sneered, "I really won't do anything to you, because sometimes living is what makes life more painful!"

"Guards! Tie them up for Madam Ben and lock them in the dark room!"

"yes!"

At Lin Zao's command, the guards brought from the general's mansion stepped forward to tie up the two men.

"Stop! Who dares to touch my husband!"

A voice came from afar. Lin Zao looked up and saw Sister-in-law Tang running towards them quickly.

Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. She had finally arrived, and it just so happened that she had some scores to settle with her.
