Wu Qianqian then pouted and said, "Who knows, I heard that her relationship with her son-in-law isn't that great, because she wouldn't go to the drill grounds. Her son-in-law even lost his temper over it, and afterwards, the matter was just dropped. But what's strange is that it's been five or six years, his rank has barely risen from vice battalion commander to only a sixth-grade colonel, and what's more, his post is even further from Kyoto than before..."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaowan thought it was quite odd. Common sense dictated that with such a father-in-law, one would climb ranks faster. How could it be like this? Could it be that Shanshan Ruan's partner was truly useless?
No matter what, though, that was Shanshan Ruan's own business, her own life. Su Xiaowan couldn't be bothered with it. Yet, she was reminded of her own family. Over the years, her knowledge of the happenings in Kyoto was limited.
