Su Mu paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the study.
"General, your men have arrived," said Copper Pillar and Iron Pillar.
"You two, come in quickly."
"Yes, General."
"Squeak~"
The study door opened in response, and Tong Tie Erzhu walked in.
"General, what are your orders?" the two men asked respectfully, their heads slightly bowed.
With his hands behind his back, Su Mu exuded a chilling aura and said coldly, "Did either of you spread the divination results of that bald-headed monk from back then?"
Tong Tie Erzhu suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist, and said urgently, "We beg the general to investigate. We have never publicized this matter. We are loyal to the general and only obey his orders."
Su Mu glanced at the two men with an air of authority before speaking, "Get up, both of you. I doubt you would dare."
"Thank you, General." Tong and Tie Erzhu rose from the ground. "General, what exactly happened?"
"Hmph, it's all because of that poisonous woman Hu! She..." Su Mu told Tong Tie Erzhu everything that had just happened and his concerns.
He was convinced that it was Hu who had spread the rumor, unaware that it was just a lucky coincidence by Aunt Chen.
“General, please forgive my bluntness. The military achievements you have made are all due to your own efforts and wisdom. You are now a third-rank official, which is all your own merit. I believe that Miss Liu has nothing to do with you.”
"Yes, General. What 'lucky star' and 'lucky star'? I think it's clearly just the bald-headed monk deceiving you. Look, now even the bald-headed monk doesn't dare to show himself. He must know that you are now in a high position and powerful, and he's afraid that his lies will be exposed and that you will punish him."
"That's what the two pillars, Tong and Tie, said."
Hearing the two people praise him, Su Mu immediately became smug.
He laughed heartily, and the slight hesitation and anxiety in his heart vanished instantly. "Hehehe, you're right! Let's do it this way. In a day or two, we'll send Su Wanwan back to her biological parents to dispel the rumors."

Su Wanwan led Zimu back to the courtyard, sent Zimu and Zisu away, and told Zimu to go back to her room to prepare, as she would take her out of the mansion in a little while.
Zi Mu was just a maid; what preparations did she need to make?
However, she was very excited and quickly pulled Zisu back to their room, excitedly telling Zisu about the juicy gossip they had just learned.
After the two left, Su Wanwan hurried back to the inner room.
She needs to prepare early, as Su Mu will probably send her back to the countryside in the next day or two.
She opened the black lacquered wooden box on the dressing table, which was filled with valuable jewelry, some of which she had swindled from Madam Hu yesterday.
She knew very well that when she left the General's Mansion, neither Su Mu, Madam Hu, nor anyone else would allow her to take these jewels with her.
The thought that the jewelry she had swindled from Madam Hu would eventually end up back in her hands made Su Wanwan's heart ache.
It felt like a little person inside her was frantically shaking her hair.
Ahhh!
Why doesn't she have a space that can hold everything like other transmigrated women?
Even though the space is small, she doesn't mind!
Waaaaah~~
Considering how she saved lives and accumulated countless good deeds, it's one thing for her to be reborn as a minor cannon fodder character, but she wasn't even given a single cheat ability.
The author of this book has absolutely no heart!
