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

Marquis Dongping was accompanying Emperor Mingde when someone from the Grand Princess's entourage called him aside and whispered that the Grand Princess wanted to see him. Marquis Dongping told Emperor Mingde and hurried off to find the Grand Princess.

My mother hasn't sent anyone to look for me in a long time; it must be something important.

Marquis Dongping bowed to the eldest princess, who was seated in the main seat, and said, "Your son greets Mother."

The Grand Princess, with a stern face, reached out and slammed the teacup in front of him.

Marquis Dongping was startled and immediately knelt on the ground.

"I don't know what I've done wrong to make my mother so angry. I deserve to die." The Marquis of Dongping admitted his mistake very well.

"It's all your fault. You've been wrong from the very beginning, and you've been wrong for over twenty years."

The Grand Princess never regretted anything, but she did regret her son's marriage. If she had been ruthless enough to break him up with Gu, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Marquis Dongping knelt on the ground, terrified.

Seeing this, Granny Zhou, who was by the Grand Princess's side, spoke up to comfort her.

"Gu has become increasingly erratic in recent years. Considering that she has given birth to two daughters for the Jiang family, I will not allow you to divorce her. However, Gu shall never set foot outside the Dongping Marquis's residence again!"

Marquis Dongping didn't know what Lady Gu had done to offend his mother, which made her so angry that she was forbidden from stepping out of the mansion for life, which was tantamount to imprisonment.

"mother……"

Marquis Dongping wanted to say a good word for the Gu family.

The Grand Princess angrily said, "Don't you dare speak up for her, or I won't even acknowledge you anymore!"

"Your son wouldn't dare; your son will obey your mother completely." Marquis Dongping dared not disobey the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess was furious when she saw him. "Hurry up and send Madam Gu away!"

Finally, Marquis Dongping slunk out of the Grand Princess's room.

Granny Zhou comforted her, "Princess, please don't get angry. Take care of yourself."

The Grand Princess sighed helplessly.

Marquis Dongping strode toward his courtyard. The servant told him what had just happened. Marquis Dongping was also angry. No wonder his mother was so angry.

Marquis Dongping walked even faster.

Madam Gu was still unconscious. Jiang Shurou was guarding outside. When she saw Marquis Dongping rushing in, she quickly stood up to pay her respects, but her ankle hurt so much that she couldn't stand up.

"Father."

"Where's your mother?"

Marquis Dongping wanted to find Lady Gu.

"Mother is in a deep sleep, Father, you know all this."

Jiang Shurou knew that the Gu family had gotten into trouble this time.

Marquis Dongping questioned, "You were there at the time!"

Jiang Shurou nodded.

"Then why didn't you try to persuade your mother? Shu Wan is pregnant now. If something happens to her, have you thought about the consequences?" Marquis Dongping vented his anger on Jiang Shurou.

"I know, and I've tried to persuade you, but I can't stop you," Jiang Shurou said, feeling very wronged.

"Yes, my lord, the young lady twisted her ankle while trying to pull the madam along."

Xia He spoke up for her master.

Only then did Marquis Dongping notice that Jiang Shurou was pale and being supported by a maid.

Marquis Dongping felt somewhat guilty, "It was your father who was anxious."

Jiang Shurou shook her head, "It's all Rou'er's fault."

“This time your mother has thoroughly angered your grandmother. She wants your mother to return to the manor immediately and, once there, to stay home and reflect on her actions.”

Jiang Shurou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this punishment.

"Yes, I will tell my mother when she wakes up."

Marquis Dongping said sternly, "Your mother is not allowed to step out of the room without my order!"

"I will talk to my mother, but I don't know how long she will keep me under house arrest?"

"lifelong."

Jiang Shurou was stunned after hearing this, then came to her senses and said, "Father, isn't this a bit too harsh?"

The Marquis of Dongping said in an icy voice, "Then you choose between confinement and divorce."

Jiang Shurou knew that her grandmother must be furious. She said stiffly, "I will definitely talk to Mother after she wakes up."

Marquis Dongping was angry at the moment and did not want to see Gu Shi. He wanted to turn around and leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back to look at Jiang Shurou.

"Make sure your mother behaves herself after she returns to the manor, otherwise no one can save her," Marquis Dongping instructed her.

Jiang Shurou nodded, "My daughter knows."

After the Marquis of Dongping left, Jiang Shurou slumped into a chair.

It's over, everything is over.

This time, Mother has completely lost power.

**

When the Duchess of Dingguo learned of these things, she couldn't help but let out a sinister smile.

"It's such a pity, the baby in her belly is perfectly fine."

The old nanny standing nearby said smugly, "Madam, don't worry. If that stupid Gu Shi hadn't been sent back to the capital by the Grand Princess, she probably wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble."

"I don't even care about the Gu family, what I want is for Jiang Shuwan to miscarry!" the Duchess of Dingguo said viciously.

“Madam, I think we shouldn’t rush things, lest we arouse their suspicion and make it difficult for us to take action.”

Lady Dingguo nodded, "What you said makes sense."

**

Jiang Shuwan found out the whole story of what happened this morning. A large part of the reason why Madam Gu was so angry was because she was provoked by the Duchess of Dingguo.

The Duchess of Dingguo has long been at odds with me; she must be trying to use Gu Shi to make my life miserable.

Jiang Shuwan said calmly, "This Duchess of Dingguo is too idle. You should find a way to give her something to do."

She really thinks she can just let people bully her if she doesn't take action.

Feiyue nodded, "Yes."

When the Empress heard about this, she went to see Jiang Shuwan and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound. At the same time, she increased the number of maids in Jiang Shuwan's courtyard to protect her at all times.

Finally, Lady Xuanping and several other ladies came to visit Jiang Shuwan.

**

After Gu woke up, her maid went to inform Jiang Shurou.

Jiang Shurou limped toward the Gu family.

Seeing this, Madam Gu asked with concern, "Rou'er, what's wrong?"

Jiang Shurou looked at her, "Mother, don't you remember?"

Only then did Madam Gu recall what had happened before she fell into a coma.

Why did I faint?

At this point, Madam Gu was no longer so angry.

Seeing that she remembered nothing, Jiang Shurou lied and said, "The imperial physician said that you fainted because of anger and anger."

"If you have difficulty walking, you should rest well and don't need to serve me."

Gu felt sorry for her daughter.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Shurou said, "Mother, let's go back to the Marquis of Dongping's residence."

"Why? We've just arrived at the Summer Palace, why should we go back?"

"Grandma's Words."

"Her? I haven't even seen her, why should she ask me to go back!" Madam Gu was displeased.

Jiang Shurou, afraid of upsetting her, said, "Mother, I'll tell you on the way back. I've already had my things packed, and we can leave now."

"This is too rushed. You stay here and I'll go back."

At this moment, Gu was still thinking about Jiang Shurou.

Jiang Shurou shook her head, "No, I'll be wherever Mother is."

Madam Gu said with satisfaction, "You are truly my good daughter."

Thus, Gu Shi left with Jiang Shurou without knowing the truth, and did not see the Marquis of Dongping before leaving, which made Gu Shi very dissatisfied.
