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

"!!!"

After being shocked, Yan Jingxuan quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Judging from his reaction, Yan Xinyi felt that she had guessed correctly.

"Second brother, you really..."

Yan Xinyi was silenced by Yan Jingxuan before she could finish speaking.

Yan Jingxuan said in a low voice, "My little aunt, please don't talk nonsense. I'm fine, but don't ruin Youwei's reputation!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Yan Xinyi struggled; she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Yan Jingxuan noticed something was wrong with her and then let go.

Yan Xinyi was panting heavily.

Yan Jingxuan felt a little guilty when he saw her like this.

"Xinyi, are you alright?"

Yan Xinyi, having recovered, shouted, "Second brother, you're murdering your own sister!"

"I did not do it on purpose."

Yan Jingxuan swore that he really didn't do it on purpose.

Yan Xinyi glared at him, annoyed.

Yan Jingxuan said ingratiatingly, "It's all my fault, Second Brother. Whatever you want to eat or wear, Second Brother will buy it for you."

Yan Xinyi snorted coldly and turned her face away from him.

Yan Jingxuan eagerly leaned closer, "If you don't like it, you can beat me up to vent your anger."

Yan Xinyi had never seen her second brother like this before.

Yan Jingxuan dared not offend Yan Xinyi; he still wanted her to help him.

Yan Xinyi pretended to be mature and said, "Second brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but when are you going to change your impulsive nature?"

Yan Jingxuan, "..."

Seeing his expression, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, but she didn't show it on her face.

Knowing she was teasing him, Yan Jingxuan reached out and tapped her forehead. "Alright, stop pushing your luck."

Yan Xinyi threatened, "Second brother, if you dare to treat me badly, you can forget about ever seeing Youwei again."

Yan Jingxuan put his hands on his hips. Hey, this little brat dares to threaten me now.

Seeing his expression, Yan Xinyi quickly begged for mercy, "I was just joking with you, Second Brother, don't take it seriously."

Yan Jingxuan snorted coldly and turned her head away from her, just like she had done earlier.

Seeing that he seemed genuinely angry, Yan Xinyi quickly said, "I was wrong, please don't be angry. I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on."

Yan Jingxuan immediately said, "You have to keep your word."

"..."

Yan Xinyi realized she had been tricked.

After the siblings finished their playful banter, Yan Xinyi teased, "Second brother, when did you get this mischievous idea? If I hadn't been looking at the glass doll today and thinking it over and over and feeling something was off, I would have had no idea you were planning this."

Yan Xinyi wondered why her second brother would spend so much money to buy her glass dolls just because of something she said, and even buy two at once, and give them to her in front of Xie Youwei. So that's what he was thinking.

"Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid?"

Yan Jingxuan would never tell his sister these things.

“I’m not a child. I’m just a few years younger than you.”

Yan Xinyi is young, but she has been thoughtful and precocious since childhood; otherwise, she would not have discovered Yan Jingxuan's thoughts today.

"Okay, okay, you're not a child anymore," Yan Jingxuan replied perfunctorily.

"Second brother, I'm your helper. With me around, you and Youwei can see each other more often."

Yan Xinyi thought it was good that Xie Youwei married into her family.

Do you think we're a good match?

Yan Jingxuan immediately struck a pose after he finished speaking.

Yan Xinyi, "..." Suddenly, she couldn't look him in the eye.

Yan Jingxuan said anxiously, "Say something!"

Yan Xinyi cleared her throat and said, "You're still a little short of being a good match for Youwei."

"That's right, Youwei is so good. I'm definitely not as good as her, but I will try my best to be worthy of her," Yan Jingxuan said confidently.

Yan Xinyi had never seen her second brother look like this before.

"Second brother, you need to work hard. Youwei will be of marriageable age next year."

"I will."

Yan Jingxuan was full of confidence.

Yan Jingxuan's serious expression at this moment was something Yan Xinyi had never seen before, indicating that her second brother's decision was not just a passing fancy.

"Second brother, when did you get this idea?" Yan Xinyi was very curious, because in her opinion, her second brother and Xie Youwei hadn't met many times.

Xie Youwei rarely left her home and usually only went to the Xuanping Marquis's residence. However, she didn't go to the Xuanping Marquis's residence every day, but whenever she did, she was sure to run into Yan Jingxuan.

At first, when Yan Jingxuan saw her, he thought of her timidity and wanted to tease her. Gradually, Yan Jingxuan realized that something was wrong with him. He would always write Xie Youwei's name on paper, and he couldn't help but smile when he thought of her.

His appearance was quickly noticed by his friends. They were all teenagers from well-off families, so they naturally knew more about matters between men and women. When one of them saw Yan Jingxuan's appearance, he bluntly said that he was in love.

Yan Jingxuan denied it immediately. He wasn't stupid and naturally knew about matters between men and women, but he had never cared about them. After his thoughts were exposed, he became certain of his feelings.

Later, he overheard Yan Xinyi saying that she and Xie Youwei had their eyes on a glass doll, and that she had gone to many shops and spent a lot of money to buy it.

Yan Jingxuan knew that he and Xie Youwei were still young and dared not ask for too much. He just wanted to see Xie Youwei more often, and he would be happy as long as he saw her.

Yan Xinyi was thinking that she should praise her second brother more in front of Xie Youwei in the future, and not criticize him like she did, because that would damage her second brother's image. Although her second brother was not as reliable as her eldest brother, his character was fine, and it seemed that he had no other shortcomings except for not liking to read.

At this moment, both siblings were thinking about how to lure Xie Youwei to the Xuanping Marquis's residence.

General House

Xie Youwei sneezed several times for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong, young lady? Have you caught a cold?" Bilian quickly stepped forward to ask Xie Youwei for help.

Xie Youwei shook her head, "I'm fine."

“It’s getting chilly in the mornings and evenings now, so I’ll prepare clothes for you when you go out in the mornings and evenings,” Bilian said to herself.

Jiang Shuwan gave her two maids, who, although young, were thoughtful and devoted to their mistress.

Xie Youwei carefully put the box away, thinking about what gift to give Yan Xinyi next time. This gift was too expensive, and she wanted to give a return gift.

On the other side, Mingxiangyuan Feiyue walked over with an envelope.

"A letter from the Lady and the Princess."

Several months have passed since Li Shu left. During this time, letters from Li Shu have been arriving one after another, and Jiang Shuwan has also been writing to Li Shu frequently.

Jiang Shuwan opened the envelope.

"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person, opening this letter brings me joy... I am well, but I am worried about my mother. I hope my sister can visit her more often on my behalf. Words cannot express my feelings. Please take good care of yourself."

In the letter, Li Shu described the people and things she had seen outside. It turns out that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This journey to marry a foreign ruler allowed Li Shu to see things and experiences she had never seen before.

Jiang Shuwan put down the letter. Although Li Shu said in the letter that she was doing well, she couldn't help but worry about her. According to the letter, Li Shu would arrive at the border between Daqing and Northern Qi in three months.
