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

The Grand Princess couldn't keep her composure any longer and pointed to her forehead.

"You!"

Jiang Shuwan smiled and continued to act coquettishly, "Grandmother, you are the best."

"When are you going to change your habit of always bearing everything on your own?"

Ultimately, the Grand Princess still felt sorry for her.

Jiang Shuwan said sweetly, "I didn't carry it myself, your grandson-in-law is here."

The Grand Princess laughed when she saw this and joked, "You've gotten a bit thicker-skinned after getting married."

Jiang Shuwan smiled but didn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, the Grand Princess was relieved; it was naturally a good thing that her granddaughter and grandson had a good relationship.

"Are you aware of what's been happening lately?" the Grand Princess asked her, deliberately putting on a stern face.

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "I know, I know everything, Grandmother, please don't worry."

The Grand Princess knew her and knew she wasn't lying.

"I heard your mother-in-law is from the Pei family of Hedong?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "I only caught a glimpse of her from afar at the Prince An's residence last time. She looks somewhat like my mother-in-law."

From the day she learned about it, she knew she would find out sooner or later; many people in the capital had seen Xie Youwei and Pei Shi.

The Grand Princess added, "I heard that the Crown Prince's wife went to the General's residence yesterday."

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "Grandmother, how do you know everything?"

"Silly girl, not only do I know, but I'm afraid the whole capital knows. So many eyes are watching you."

Jiang Shuwan was well aware that many eyes were constantly watching the General's Mansion.

Jiang Shuwan gently patted her hand, "Don't worry, Grandmother, I know what I'm doing."

As the two were talking, Granny Zhou came over to report.

"The Grand Princess and the Marquis are requesting an audience outside."

Without a second thought, the Grand Princess said, "Tell him I'm resting and let him go back."

Granny Zhou nodded and turned to leave.

The Grand Princess said, "Your father must have heard that you came, so he came."

Jiang Shuwan didn't know what to say. Marquis Dongping wanted everything but got nothing. For example, he wanted Gu Shi and the Grand Princess to get along peacefully, but the two just couldn't get along. He wanted his family to be happy and harmonious, but now his eldest daughter had severed ties with him. Since Dieyi appeared, he and Gu Shi had become estranged, and the two could never go back to the way they were.

Upon hearing what Granny Zhou said, Marquis Dongping glanced at the house, then lowered his head, sighed, and left helplessly.

He knew that his mother and daughter had not forgiven him yet, everyone was pressuring him, and no one was standing in his shoes or understanding how difficult things were for him.

Granny Zhou had watched Marquis Dongping grow up since he was a child, and seeing him like this now was also heartbreaking.

An hour later, Jiang Shuwan came out of the Grand Princess's residence.

Since she was already out, Jiang Shuwan went to a pastry shop to buy some of Xie Huai'an's favorite snacks to take back.

Wufangzhai entrance

Jiang Shuwan did not get off the carriage, but Feiyun got off to buy some snacks.

Upon seeing Jiang Shuwan's carriage, He Zhilin couldn't help but walk over.

"The county lord."

Jiang Shuwan recognized He Zhilin's voice, but she did not lift the curtain.

"What brings you here, Lord He?" Her voice was somewhat cold.

He Zhilin felt a pang of hurt when he heard her cold voice.

Lin Ruoqing happened to see He Zhilin talking to the people in the carriage. As for the carriage, she recognized it as Jiang Shuwan's carriage.

Lin Ruoqing gritted her teeth and said, "Wan'er Wan'er... it turns out it's not the 'Wan' of Song Wanqing, it really is the 'Wan' of Jiang Shuwan."

Even if Lin Ruoqing is disappointed in He Zhilin, He Zhilin still belongs to her alone!

Lin Ruoqing's hatred for Jiang Shuwan deepened.

When Fei Yun came out of the shop and saw He Zhilin by the carriage, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She got into the carriage with a cold expression, and then the coachman drove away.

He Zhilin stared at the carriage for a long time, lost in thought.

Lin Ruoqing was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

Feiyun said with great disdain, "Why is Madam here?"

"how could I know."

Jiang Shuwan was also helpless. She didn't know why, but she felt that He Zhilin's gaze towards her was somewhat complicated. He had never looked at her like that before.

“He wasn’t this attentive when we were engaged, but now that his wife is married, he’s suddenly all over her.” Fei Yun said indignantly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shuwan chuckled and said, "Alright, have some snacks and cheer yourself up."

Upon hearing that she could have some snacks, Fei Yun's mood immediately improved.

Jiang Shuwan smiled and shook her head when she saw this. This girl could forget all her worries as soon as she heard about food.

As soon as Jiang Shuwan arrived at the General's Mansion, Feiyue stepped forward to report.

"People from a collateral branch of the Pei family just arrived."

Jiang Shuwan frowned. "What are they doing here?"

"They wanted the Dowager Lady and the General to attend the funeral at the Pei family's residence."

Jiang Shuwan sneered after hearing this.

Is the Pei family dreaming? They kicked them out as orphans and widows back then, and now that they know Xie Huai'an holds an important position, they're eagerly trying to curry favor with him. Their behavior is truly disgusting.

Soon, everyone in the capital knew that Xie Huai'an was from a collateral branch of the Pei family of Hedong.

They all thought Xie Huai'an was a commoner, but they never expected that he was a descendant of a collateral branch of the Pei family of Hedong. Now that the Crown Princess has personally gone to the General's Mansion to make it clear that she is trying to get closer to him, they can no longer look down on him as they did before.

Pei family

Pei's father had spent his entire life striving for the rank of fourth-grade official, but his children were all unsuccessful. Recently, he was informed that his eldest daughter was still alive and that his grandson was Xie Huai'an, a rising star in the capital. This gave him a new idea.

General Xie said he didn't know any members of the Pei family, let alone the Pei residence.

Upon hearing this, Pei's father couldn't help but cough a few times. He was over sixty years old now, and his health had deteriorated in the past two years. If it weren't for his disappointing children, he wouldn't have had to struggle to stay alive until now.

The younger generation of the Pei family couldn't help but speak up, "Who does he think he is, daring to look down on our Pei family!"

"Exactly! He only got his current status because of the princess, so what's with his high and mighty attitude!"

The two people speaking were no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Shut up, everyone!"

The moment Old Master Pei spoke, all fell silent.

"You all get out."

Grandpa Pei gets a headache whenever he sees them.

The Pei family descendants bowed and replied, "Yes."

"Zixuan, stay here," said Old Master Pei.

Pei Zixuan is now the head of the Pei family.

"Father."

"What do you think about this?"

Pei Zixuan was unaware that he and Pei Shi were half-siblings, and he was two years younger than Pei Shi.

“Since he doesn’t like our Pei family, why should we go after him?” Pei Zixuan disliked Xie Huai’an.

"Foolish!" Old Master Pei scolded.

Pei Zixuan was startled.

"Father, calm down."

Old Master Pei felt a headache whenever he saw him. "How can I entrust the Pei family to you if you're like this?"

"My father made it clear."

“Our branch of the family has always been disrespected by the clan, so why are they being so polite to us this time?”

"Is it related to Xie Huai'an?"

Old Master Pei glanced at him, as if to say that he wasn't so hopelessly stupid.
