The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6828

At that moment, thousands of kilometers away in Nigeria, Wu Shutong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army Governor’s Mansion, was expressing his frustration to General Yuan Chengze.

Standing alone in a tall tower, he said with irritation, “If we keep waiting like this, I don’t know when it will end. What if that person has already figured out our plan? Then we will never know.”

Yuan Chengze replied quietly, “Grand Governor, you came to Nigeria mainly because the three elders were in our territory. We shouldn’t ignore that. But now, the three elders are still in seclusion here. There’s no need for us to stay here personally. If we do, it will hold up a lot of important work. The big change is starting in two days, but this station isn’t part of it. What are we really accomplishing by staying? If it’s not worth it, why don’t we ask the British Lord if we can return to Naples?”

Wu Shutong paused for a moment and sighed. “I want to go back too, but I can’t say that to the British master. He would think I just want to escape Nigeria. The only places needing the big change are elsewhere. All the death soldier stations can be controlled from a distance. Staying here or going back to the Governor’s Mansion doesn’t really change anything.”

Hearing this, Yuan Chengze bowed deeply, looking ashamed. “I didn’t consider that. Please punish me, Governor!”

Wu Shutong waved his hands in frustration. “I just don’t know when this will end.”

With that, he let out another sigh.

“But thinking about it, this is a great opportunity for our Right Army Governor’s Mansion,” Wu Shutong said. “Right now, that mysterious person or organization is causing real trouble for the British Lord. If we can help deal with them here, it will be a big achievement for us. Even if our contribution is small, we’ll still get some credit.”

Yuan Chengze quickly agreed, “What the Governor said is true. If we capture the British Lord’s biggest enemy on our territory, it will definitely earn us some recognition.”

Yuan Chengze continued eagerly, “And let’s not forget about our talented Song Ruyu and her brother, Song Qianshi! Her fast progress in cultivation has even impressed the British Lord. You have supported and trained Song Ruyu and the Song family, so the credit will reflect on you. Isn’t the British Lord visiting next year? She will surely be pleased to meet Song Qianshi and might reward you!”

Hearing this, Wu Shutong nodded and felt more at ease.

He viewed Song Ruyu as a gift from above. Achieving Taoism in her twenties was remarkable—something rarely seen. Even the four fallen earls couldn’t compare to her skills.

Not only the four great earls, but even the three great elders had not reached that level of mastery by their twenties. When it came to talent, Song Ruyu was definitely ahead of them.

What Wu Shutong hoped for most was that the British master, Wu Feiyan, would recognize Song Ruyu’s potential and take her under her wing. If that happened, Song Ruyu could become a trusted general for Wu Feiyan in the future, possibly leading the four great earls one day.

Ruyu.

Song Ruyu has a bright future ahead of her, one that shines like a dazzling light. As the head of the Song family, she will bring many benefits to her family when she rises to power. Since Ruyu is in charge of her tribe, she understands that improving their lives means she must respect herself.

Wu Shutong, a member of the Wu family and a high-ranking official in the border area, often feels insecure around Wu Feiyan. If Song Ruyu succeeds alongside Wu Feiyan, Wu Shutong believes he will be recognized as someone capable of holding an official position in the court.

Because of this, Wu Shutong has been very supportive of Song Ruyu over the past two years. He not only gave her a job and opportunities to gain experience but also took care of her family’s needs.

Additionally, Wu Shutong plans to marry Song Ruyu’s younger half-sister, who is three years younger than Ruyu, to his unmarried younger son. This move will strengthen his ties to the Song family and Ruyu. The Wu family has a rule that any son who marries a daughter from the Song family must treat her as an honored guest and cannot take concubines.

Traditionally, men in the Wu family could have concubines. If they were unhappy in their marriage, after three years, they could take another wife from another branch of the family, allowing them one wife and one concubine. If they held an important position in the Right Army Governor’s Mansion, they could have one wife and two concubines. As the governor-general, Wu Shutong could have one wife and three concubines.
