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

Yan Xinyi saw through her thoughts and said after a moment's thought, "Just consider it a gift from me. Don't you really like this doll?"

Glassware is very expensive in Daqing, let alone such an exquisite and beautiful doll. A while ago, the two of them went out together and happened to see a glass doll. After hearing the price, they both shook their heads and left. When they came back, Yan Xinyi mentioned it to Yan Jingxuan, but didn't take it to heart.

"It's too expensive."

Xie Youwei knew that she shouldn't accept rewards without merit.

Yan Xinyi continued to persuade her, "No matter how valuable it is, it's not as important as the friendship between us."

Under Yan Xinyi's persuasion, Xie Youwei accepted the doll.

As soon as Madam Gu brought Jiang Shurou to the hall, they saw Jiang Shuwan sitting alone.

Jiang Shurou wanted to go over and say hello, but Gu Shi stopped her.

Jiang Shuwan caught a glimpse of the two of them out of the corner of her eye. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained calm and composed.

Lady Xuanping and Song Wenyin arrived. Lady Xuanping invited everyone in the house to go to the backyard to watch a play.

Jiang Shuwan and Song Wenying walked side by side.

Song Wenying said, "The carriage broke down on the way here, which is why I'm late."

Jiang Shuwan said softly, "I see. I was wondering about that just now."

Song Wenying smiled and said, "You're such a busy person these days, I don't dare to bother you."

"Stop teasing me."

"I've heard that your Ji'anfang is quite remarkable, and the people praise you as a living bodhisattva."

"My original intention in doing these things was simply to do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for my grandmother."

Since Jiang Shuwan's rebirth, she has donated a lot of money to temples. Last year, when there was a flood, she also donated a lot of money. This time, thinking that her donations might be embezzled, she decided to set up her own charity to ensure that not a single penny of the donations went to the suffering people.

Song Wenying thought what she said made a lot of sense.

"Hearing you say that, I'll also donate some money to accumulate some good karma."

"Didn't you already donate?"

The amount of money that Jiang Shuwan's family contributed was limited. The Empress took the lead in donating money, and the ladies and young ladies of the palace and the noble families also followed suit. Jiang Shuwan had these donations registered, but she herself contributed the most money.

“My mother hasn’t been feeling well lately. After hearing what you said, I want to do more good deeds for her.”

Song Wenying has been worried about her mother lately, and she has lost some weight.

Jiang Shuwan asked with concern, "What's wrong with Madam Song? Has the imperial physician been taken to see her?"

"I've seen the doctor; he said it's an old ailment."

“I just recently acquired a new, excellent ginseng. I’ll have someone bring it to you so you can give it to Madam Song.”

Song Wenying said gratefully, "Thank you."

Jiang Shuwan chuckled, "Why are you being so polite between us?"

The two were chatting and laughing, which Jiang Shurou, who was not far away, found very irritating. Although she and Jiang Shuwan were twin sisters, they had never been so intimate before.

It's all Gu Pinlan's fault. When I was young, she kept telling me that Jiang Shuwan would take away my mother and father, which made me slowly become hostile towards her. Even the time when Jiang Shuwan fell into the water was Gu Pinlan's doing. How could she have such a vicious mind when she was so young? She seduced me and that's why I made such a big mistake.

As Jiang Shurou grew up, she developed her own opinions and was no longer controlled by Gu Pinlan. However, Gu Pinlan threatened her several times because of her childhood relationship with Jiang Shuwan. Since learning that Gu Pinlan was dead, the stone that had been weighing on her was finally removed, and she was happier than anyone else.

Thinking about these things, Jiang Shurou walked slower than the others, while Madam Gu was chatting happily with the lady beside her, forgetting about her.

"Second Miss Jiang".

Hearing someone call her name, Jiang Shurou stopped and turned around, only to see Lin Ruoqing.

Jiang Shurou recognized her and noticed her subconscious frown and disdain in her eyes.

Lin Ruoqing naturally saw the disdain in her eyes. Suppressing her displeasure, she smiled and said affectionately, "Everyone in the capital dresses up as if Princess Yongning is a national beauty. Now that I see, Miss Jiang is no less stunning."

Jiang Shurou was already in a bad mood, and Lin Ruoqing just happened to walk right into it.

"Who do you think you are, to talk about me and my sister?"

Lin Ruoqing gritted her teeth, "Miss Jiang, I am, after all, the wife of a young master from the Marquis's mansion. Isn't it beneath your dignity to say such a thing!"

"Yes, it's beneath me to talk to someone like you." Jiang Shurou rolled her eyes at her after saying that and turned to leave.

Lin Ruoqing usually had no chance to get close to her, and today was her only opportunity. "Second Miss Jiang, please wait!"

Jiang Shurou knew that she had come to deliberately sow discord between her and Jiang Shuwan, and that she might even suggest that Jiang Shuwan frame her. No matter what she did, it would only do her harm and no good.

Lin Ruoqing walked up to her and whispered, "Does Miss Jiang Er really want to be suppressed by Jiang Shuwan forever?"

Jiang Shurou feigned surprise, "Oh, you can't possibly help me?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Lin Ruoqing was overjoyed. "Of course I will help Miss Jiang."

Seeing this, Jiang Shurou curled her lips into a cold smile, "How do you plan to help me?"

"Then let's see what effect Miss Jiang wants," Lin Ruoqing said confidently.

Jiang Shurou inwardly despised her, but she didn't show it on her face. "Let me hear what your plans are first."

Lin Ruoqing was about to speak, but she suddenly became wary and looked at her with suspicion. "Miss Jiang, you're not trying to trick me or get information out of me, are you?"

"Tell me if you want, or don't," Jiang Shurou said and turned away.

"and many more!"

Lin Ruoqing was conflicted. If she missed this opportunity today, she didn't know when she would be able to see Jiang Shurou again.

Song Wenying glanced back and saw Jiang Shurou and Lin Ruoqing standing together.

"How did those two get together?"

Jiang Shuwan followed Song Wenyin's gaze.

Seeing that Lin Ruoqing was talking to Jiang Shurou, I wondered what they were saying.

"Who knows."

Although she said that, Jiang Shuwan thought that judging from the situation, they must be talking about her behind her back.

"Are they planning something bad?" Song Wenyin worried.

Jiang Shuwan chuckled and said, "Who knows? Why don't you go over and listen?"

Song Wenying rolled her eyes at her, "You're so carefree, joking around at a time like this."

"Does this mean we have to live in pain every day?"

Jiang Shuwan had lived through those days before, and she didn't want to go through them again. Having been reborn, she had come to terms with it all. She would eat and drink as she pleased, and deal with whatever came her way.

"you are right."

Song Wenyin was very happy to see her friend so open-minded.

On the other side, Jiang Shurou listened to Lin Ruoqing's so-called plans, which she found to be utterly childish.

"If you want to frame Jiang Shuwan, you should go back and practice some more. Don't embarrass yourself in public."

After Jiang Shurou finished speaking, she gave her a disdainful look and left.

She listened patiently for a long time, and found that Lin Ruoqing was really from a poor family and had no ambition at all. Her methods of framing people were old-fashioned and lacked sincerity.

Lin Ruoqing called Jiang Shurou several times, but she didn't turn around. She suddenly realized that she had been tricked and stomped her feet in anger.
