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

Those who dared not look Jiang Shuwan in the eye, and only muttered in low voices, "That's what they say, but why did they only attack her? Is it because she did something?"

Jiang Shuwan's gaze was cold and her voice was icy, "She was only five or six years old at the time, what could she have done? Don't use your filthy and despicable mind to speculate about others."

"Yes, you are a princess, so of course whatever you say goes. We are just a bunch of common people. Please, Your Highness, have mercy on us."

When the man couldn't win the argument, he started to play the victim, and his words were full of accusations that Jiang Shuwan was abusing her power.

Jiang Shuwan sneered, her eyes full of contempt.

"I happen to have something to say in this courtroom today."

From now on, any woman, whether she was bullied before marriage and dared not tell anyone, or was bullied and beaten by her husband's family after marriage, can go to Ji'anfang. Once there, they will never be bullied again, nor will they have to fear ending up on the streets. Ji'anfang will help them start over.

Jiang Shuwan's words immediately made the crowd lively.

The man's face turned extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Prefect Ye signaled his men to drive all the people out.

After bidding farewell to Prefect Ye, Jiang Shuwan took Feiyue back to the General's Mansion.

“Madam, you didn’t need to come today.” Fei Yue felt that she had embarrassed Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan grabbed her hand, "You're mine, how could I abandon you?"

"lady……"

Aside from her deceased father, only Jiang Shuwan has ever treated her so well. What good deeds did she do in her past life to deserve such a wonderful master?

Feiyun said from the side, "You're still here. I won't abandon you either."

Feiyue smiled at her.

The carriage was very cozy when suddenly an arrow shot into it.

The carriage was startled, and the coachman gripped the reins tightly, trying to control it.

Jiang Shuwan and the other two immediately became alert, with Feiyue and Feiyun protecting Jiang Shuwan behind them.

Feiyue said seriously, "I'm going out to take a look. Feiyun, you protect the lady."

Feiyun nodded, "Okay."

When Jiang Shuwan came out, she brought seven or eight guards with her. She had just spotted a few suspicious people, so she had the guards follow them. Now only two guards were left beside the carriage.

It was very noisy outside, and soon the sounds of fighting could be heard.

A man rudely lifted the curtain, and Feiyun, without hesitation, kicked him away.

The coachman was injured and lying on the ground. Feiyun looked at the people fighting, picked up the reins, and wanted to drive away.

The scene was chaotic. The guards who had been protecting Jiang Shuwan from the shadows came out and sat in front of the carriage to help drive.

With the help of the guards, the carriage quickly drove out of the street.

A man in black was seen committing murder in the street, which quickly attracted the attention of government troops.

When the carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion, the gatekeeper immediately stepped forward to take the horse.

Feiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped Jiang Shuwan down from the carriage.

After Jiang Shuwan got out of the car, she said, "Go quickly and gather the guards to meet Feiyue. Remember, make sure to leave those people alive."

"Yes."

Feiyun nodded.

Not long after Jiang Shuwan returned to Mingxiang Garden, Feiyue came back.

"Madam and all those people have been imprisoned and are being investigated by the Ministry of Justice."

Jiang Shuwan noticed the bloodstains on her dress and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Feiyue shook her head. "No, this isn't my blood."

Jiang Shuwan said considerately, "Go downstairs and change your clothes. There's no need to rush to serve you."

"Yes."

After Feiyue left, she was left alone in the room.

She didn't believe that someone was trying to harm her, or that Fei Yue's affair wasn't deliberately orchestrated.

Lin Ruoqing was startled and stood up upon hearing Caihuan's words.

"What did you say?! Why is Father in such a hurry?"

Caihuan lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

How is Jiang Shuwan now?

"I heard they returned to the General's Mansion unharmed," Caihuan reported truthfully.

Lin Ruoqing slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"Jiang Shuwan."

Lin Ruoqing hadn't expected Jiang Shuwan to be so difficult to kill.

Zhang Cuihua and Dazhuang were acting under the orders of Lin's father. His goal was to damage Jiang Shuwan's reputation, lure her out of the mansion, and then have her assassinated.

Jiang Shuwan usually doesn't leave her home, and when she does go out, she's always escorted by guards. Today, he finally saw that Jiang Shuwan didn't have any guards around her, so he ordered her assassination.

"The young mistress has sent word that the master has been arrested."

"What did you say!?"

Lin Ruoqing was shocked.

"How could my father have been arrested?"

"The master was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to take revenge himself, so..."

"What a fool!" Lin Ruoqing said, and immediately told Caihuan, "Have someone prepare a carriage."

Caihuan advised, "Young Madam, you can't go. The master has been arrested and is confirmed to have committed the crime of assassinating the princess. If you go, it may implicate you."

"What do you mean? Are you expecting me to stand idly by? That's my father!" Lin Ruoqing said angrily, glaring at Caihuan.

"That's not what I meant. As long as you pretend you know nothing, when things are exposed, you can beg the second young master. Recently, the second young master has been very obedient to you."

Lin Ruoqing calmed down and realized that Caihuan's words made some sense.

General House

After listening to her subordinate's report, Jiang Shuwan dismissed the person.

Feiyun said angrily after hearing this, "This Lin family is really audacious!"

"It's good that you know who the murderer is. Send someone to keep an eye on the Lin residence, and also go and make a call to the prison. Also, spread the word that I was attacked in the street."

Jiang Shuwan wasn't as angry as Feiyun. She only had a few families with whom she had conflicts, but she didn't expect the Lin family to hate her so much.

By the time these matters were dealt with, it was already dark.

Many people had already witnessed Jiang Shuwan's assassination attempt in the street, so the news would have spread quickly without much fanfare.

He Zhilin went straight back to Lin Ruoqing's courtyard after finishing his shift that night.

He noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered the room.

"Aqing, what's wrong?" He Zhilin asked with concern as he sat down beside her, noticing her red eyes.

"Erlang..." Lin Ruoqing called out, then lowered her head, looking very aggrieved.

He Zhilin asked anxiously, "What exactly happened?"

Lin Ruoqing cried and said, "My father had an accident."

"What's wrong with my father-in-law?"

He Zhilin heard about Jiang Shuwan being assassinated in the street, but he didn't know that it was his father-in-law's doing.

Lin Ruoqing then told He Zhilin what had happened. Of course, she only said that her father was unwilling to accept the death of his eldest brother, so he wanted to scare Jiang Shuwan.

"Are you all insane?!"

He Zhilin was shocked.

"Erlang, I know my father has made a terrible mistake this time. I beg you, please save him," Lin Ruoqing pleaded, tugging at his clothes.

"He attempted to assassinate the princess in the street. How would you save him?"

He Zhilin felt that she thought too highly of herself.

Lin Ruoqing said anxiously, "Why don't we go to the General's Mansion tonight? I'll beg the Princess to be magnanimous and spare my father."

He Zhilin thought her idea was ridiculous.

"If you were almost killed, would you forgive the person who tried to assassinate you?"
