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

"I had no intention of offending Your Highness, please do not be angry with me."

Lin Ruoqing lowered her head and knelt on the ground.

Those nearby noticed and began whispering among themselves.

Although Lin Ruoqing kept her head down, she could feel the people around her pointing and whispering about her.

Jiang Shuwan just watched her quietly without saying a word.

Feiyue found out everything. After Lin Ruoqing's brother was exiled, he didn't behave himself. Instead, he took advantage of his brother-in-law's status and acted like a tyrant in the name of the Second Prince. Finally, one day, someone couldn't stand him anymore and beat him up. Unexpectedly, he was so weak that he died.

It was already late autumn, but Lin Ruoqing's back was covered in sweat. She had already guessed that Jiang Shuwan knew about how she had made things difficult for her mother-in-law, but she didn't know how Jiang Shuwan would deal with her.

"I heard that the carriage you were riding in collided with my general's carriage a few days ago," Jiang Shuwan said in a cold voice.

Lin Ruoqing's mind raced as she said, "It was the carriage's fault. I've already punished the coachman when I got back."

"is it?"

Jiang Shuwan's voice turned colder.

Lin Ruoqing lowered her head and forced herself to speak, "Yes."

"Keep your head up."

Lin Ruoqing suppressed her anger, composed herself, and looked up.

Jiang Shuwan sat quietly watching her, her gaze from the superior was full of pressure.

Lin Ruoqing subconsciously wanted to lower her head, but she didn't dare.

"This is my last warning to you. You are not someone to be trifled with from my General's Mansion. Next time you see me, remember to take a detour and don't let me see you again."

Lin Ruoqing felt a humiliation she had never experienced before.

"Yes."

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Since Second Young Mistress He comes from such a noble family, why don't you kneel down to the side until the polo match is over?" Jiang Shuwan said lightly.

Being forced to kneel in public is an extremely humiliating act.

Lin Ruoqing looked at her in disbelief.

"Even if you are a princess, you cannot punish me at will!"

Kneeling before Jiang Shuwan had already made her lose all face; if she were to kneel here for half a day, would she even want to live?

"You think too highly of yourself. I can punish you however I want. Are all the people in the Marquis of Huian's mansion so ill-mannered?"

When Jiang Shuwan said her last words, she looked at Madam Ye, who was watching the show not far away.

Not wanting to hide and watch the show from the sidelines, Ye Shi quickly walked up to Jiang Shuwan and curtsied.

"Princess, please don't be angry. She comes from a humble family and doesn't know the rules. She actually offended you. I will definitely discipline her properly when I get back."

Jiang Shuwan said solemnly, "Madam Huian understands things best. In that case, you may take her away and kneel until the end of the polo match. I will then forgive her for her disrespect towards me and my mother-in-law."

"Yes."

After bowing, Madam Ye looked at Lin Ruoqing and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and leave, aren't you ashamed enough already!"

Lin Ruoqing knew that her mother-in-law would not help her at all, and she got up unwillingly.

At first, Ye didn't know why Jiang Shuwan was picking a fight with Lin Ruoqing for no reason. She had just overheard a few things in the crowd and found out the general idea.

"Who do you think you are, daring to humiliate the Princess Mother-in-law? Are you deliberately trying to make my son offend everyone in the court?!"

Ye thought she was overestimating herself.

Lin Ruoqing lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Madam Ye was furious and said irritably, "It seems the princess was right to punish you. Think about it carefully by yourself." After saying that, Madam Ye left.

Lin Ruoqing ignored her, and Feiyue led her to an open space.

"Young Mistress He, please kneel here." Fei Yue's tone made Lin Ruoqing even angrier.

This was the most conspicuous spot on the polo field, but Lin Ruoqing dared not refuse to kneel. She shook her head and knelt down, with Caihuan kneeling beside her.

Who is kneeling there?

Some people are far away and don't know what happened.

After looking closely, someone said, "This must be the second young mistress of the Marquis of Huian's mansion."

"What's wrong with her?" someone asked, puzzled.

A woman standing nearby chuckled and said, "Judging from this, he must have offended someone."

At this moment, a lady in a green dress walked up and said, "You don't know?"

The man asked curiously, "What?"

The lady in green said, "The other day, this second young mistress of the He family insulted General Xie's mother. Now, the princess is standing up for her mother-in-law."

"Is that so?" she said, unable to suppress a laugh. "She looks down on General Xie's mother. Doesn't she even know who she is?"

"Indeed, we've really lost face today."

They all stood by and watched the spectacle.

Lin Ruoqing's eyes were filled with tears. She vowed that she would avenge the humiliation she had suffered today!

After Xie Youwei rode the horse for a while, Yan Jingxuan stopped her from riding anymore, and the three of them went together to find Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan saw the three of them walking together, and she subtly observed Xie Youwei and Yan Jingxuan.

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "Jingxuan seems to have grown quite a bit taller."

Lady Xuanping said with a smile, "Yes, this little rascal has grown quite a bit this year."

Yan Jingxuan and the others had only been there a short while when someone called him to play polo.

Yan Jingxuan agreed and went.

"This mischievous monkey can't stay still for a moment," said Lady Xuanping, her tone full of affection.

Yan Jingxuan mounted his horse cleanly and nimbly, picked up his polo mallet, and walked to the center of the polo field. The whistle blew, and several groups of people began to scramble for the ball.

Yan Jingxuan was very skilled, and he quickly won the first point.

Jiang Shuwan praised, "Jingxuan plays polo really well."

Lady Xuanping said with a smile, "This child is not good at studying, but he is good at playing."

Xie Youwei and Yan Xinyi kept their eyes on the polo players on the polo field.

Jiang Shuwan glanced at Xie Youwei before looking away.

**

There were only Jiang Shuwan and Xie Youwei in the carriage.

Jiang Shuwan casually asked, "Youwei, are you familiar with Yan Jingxuan?"

Xie Youwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're not very familiar with each other."

She never dared to speak to Yan Jingxuan whenever she saw him before.

"That's it."

Seeing that she wasn't in the mood, Jiang Shuwan stopped thinking about it; it seemed she had been overthinking it.

Xie Youwei asked in confusion, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."

Xie Youwei didn't think much of it.

Upon returning to the manor, Jiang Shuwan instructed Feiyue to inform the Second Prince that Lin Ruoqing's brother was misbehaving in another region under his name.

The second prince was indeed very angry when he found out, and he went straight to his cousin.

"Second prince."

He Zhilin bowed.

The second prince dismissed everyone else, leaving only the two of them in the room.

The second prince said angrily, "Cousin, how could you be so foolish!"

He Zhilin looked completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

The second prince said reproachfully, "It's all because you married a good wife!"

"What's wrong with Ruoqing?"

"It's not enough that her brother offended the General's Mansion; he's even going so far as to act recklessly outside under my name!" The Second Prince would not allow his reputation to be damaged in the slightest.
