The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

In the winter of the 28th year of the Yuanqi era, the capital city finally welcomed its first snow of the year. The snow fell for two days and only stopped at midnight.

The room was quiet. Jiang Shuwan lay on the bed with her brows furrowed and her face contorted in pain. She struggled to open her eyes and saw the incense burner and the purple smoke-colored bed curtains.

Is she dead?

Is the underworld like this?

Feiyun, the maid who was guarding the bedside, was excited to see Jiang Shuwan wake up and said, "Miss, you're finally awake."

Jiang Shuwan was stunned when she saw Feiyun, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Feiyun panicked when she saw her daughter crying.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Hearing the noise, Fei Yue quickly walked in and saw Jiang Shuwan with a pale face and tears in her eyes.

Feiyun anxiously asked her best friend, "The girl hasn't said a word since she woke up, she just keeps crying. What should we do?"

"You stay here and watch over me while I go to find the imperial physician."

After giving her instructions, Fei Yue quickly left.

Jiang Shuwan then realized something was wrong. Ever since she got married, the maids around her had started calling her "Madam".

Only then did she notice that Feiyun still had baby fat on her face, unlike after she married into the He family and was bullied by the He family, she had become much thinner.

Could it be that she became like those characters in the storybooks, reborn because she was unwilling to accept her death and harbored too much resentment?

"Scarlet Clouds".

When Fei Yun heard Jiang Shuwan call her name, she immediately knelt down beside the bed and said, "This servant is here."

"What year is tonight?"

Jiang Shuwan appeared calm and collected, but her hands were already clenched into fists under the covers.

Although Feiyun didn't understand why her master asked that question, she still answered honestly.

"The second day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of Yuanqi."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly released her grip.

She was truly reborn!

Twenty-eight years... Twenty-eight years was the time when she and her grandmother had just returned to the capital...

"Where's grandma?"

"The Grand Princess stayed with the young lady until midnight last night, but was persuaded by the nanny to go to the next room to rest."

As soon as Fei Yun finished speaking, Grand Princess Zhao Rong was helped in by her maid.

Upon seeing his beloved grandmother Jiang Shuwan again, he could no longer hold back his tears and burst into tears.

This broke Princess Zhaorong's heart.

"Don't cry, sweetie, don't cry..."

Jiang Shuwan had never cried like this before in her life. Not to mention the Grand Princess Zhaorong felt sorry for her, even the maids who were guarding her had tears in their eyes.

Feiyun thought to herself, "This second son of the He family is no good. He's just a small Earl's mansion, yet he disregards the reputation of the Grand Princess's mansion and the Dongping Marquis's mansion, spreading rumors outside and causing their young lady to fall ill after hearing them."

Only after Jiang Shuwan had calmed down did the Grand Princess allow the imperial physician to enter the room to take her pulse.

"The girl's high fever has subsided, and she has regained consciousness. She is fine and just needs to rest and recuperate."

The Grand Princess breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Physician Li."

"I will write the prescription right away."

After finishing his speech, the imperial physician bowed to the Grand Princess, picked up his medicine box, and left.

Seeing that her grandmother looked a little haggard, Jiang Shuwan said, "Grandmother, it's all my fault for being unfilial and causing you worry. Granny Zhou, please help Grandmother to rest."

The Grand Princess said with concern, "If you feel unwell at all, you must tell me."

“I will, Grandma.”

Jiang Shuwan finished speaking and gave her a smile to reassure her.

Because she was worried that her granddaughter, the Grand Princess, hadn't rested well these past two days and was indeed a bit tired, she gave her a few instructions and then went back to her own courtyard.

After the Grand Princess left, Jiang Shuwan dismissed all the maids, and soon she was the only one left in the room.

Jiang Shuwan is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dongping. Her grandmother is the Grand Princess Zhaorong of the current dynasty. She has been raised by her grandmother since birth. Her status is among the best in the capital. Unfortunately, she married the wrong person and took the wrong path in her previous life. Her grandmother also passed away less than a year after her marriage because she was too worried about her. This time, she must make sure that her grandmother is well!

Feiyun and Feiyue stood guard outside the door. Feiyun glanced at the door with concern and couldn't help but mutter, "The Marquis and his wife are really something. Our young lady has been so ill this time, and they haven't even come to see her..."

"Scarlet Cloud!"

Feiyue glared at her, then glanced at the door and said in a low voice, "You're just adding to the girl's troubles, aren't you?"

Feiyun realized her words were inappropriate and quickly explained in a low voice, "I didn't, I was just speaking up for the young lady..."

Feiyue kindly reminded her, "Don't say those things again. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, you'll definitely get a beating."

Feiyun's buttocks tightened instinctively when she heard the word "board," and then she nodded seriously.

***

After two days of recuperation, Jiang Shuwan was almost fully recovered. Today, she got up early to dress up and planned to have breakfast with her grandmother.

Cuihua Court

Jiang Shuwan bowed to her grandmother, but Grand Princess Zhaorong waved for her to stop. However, she still politely completed the bow before walking to Grand Princess Zhaorong's side.

Grand Princess Zhaorong affectionately pulled Jiang Shuwan to sit beside her, looking at her with a smile, "You look quite well today."

"Thank you for your concern, Grandmother. Wan'er is much better now."

"That's good. You should always prioritize your own health."

Hearing her grandmother's words of advice, Jiang Shuwan felt a pang of sadness. In this world, only her grandmother was truly kind to her wholeheartedly.

After finishing their breakfast, the grandfather and grandson sat down and chatted intimately, creating a very harmonious atmosphere in the room.

A maid came in to announce, "The Grand Princess, the Marquis, and his wife have arrived."

The smiles on Jiang Shuwan and Grand Princess Zhaorong's faces faded considerably.

After all, they were her own sons. Grand Princess Zhaorong said calmly, "Let them in."

Jiang Shuwan stood up and stood properly beside her grandmother.

The Marquis of Dongping and his wife entered shortly afterward.

"The son pays respects to his mother."

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother."

The couple bowed to Princess Zhaorong.

Princess Zhaorong and the old Marquis were both exceptionally beautiful, so their son was naturally no less so. The Marquis's wife, Gu Peilan, was also very beautiful, and the two looked very well-matched standing together.

"Get up."

Grand Princess Zhaorong's voice remained calm.

After the Marquis of Dongping and his wife stood up, their gazes involuntarily fell on Jiang Shuwan.

"The daughter has met her father and mother."

Jiang Shuwan lowered her eyes and bowed respectfully.

"Get up quickly. I just heard from the people downstairs that you're sick?"

Marquis Dongping still cared about his eldest daughter.

"I'm all better now, thank you for your concern, Father."

Madam Gu originally wanted to show concern for her eldest daughter, but seeing her daughter's indifferent demeanor, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Grand Princess Zhaorong spoke up, "Alright, everyone sit down and let's talk."

"Originally, Rou'er also said she wanted to come and pay her respects to Mother, but it's freezing cold outside right now, and she's been in poor health since she was little. We'll let her come and pay her respects to Mother in a few days."

When Gu mentioned her youngest daughter, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

If it were in her previous life, Jiang Shuwan would have been unable to help but feel envious seeing her mother favor her younger sister so much. But now, her heart is completely unmoved. In her previous life, she ruined her life by agreeing to marry into the He family in order to please her mother.

Thinking about her experiences in the He family and her parents' attitude, Jiang Shuwan decided that this time she would live for herself.
