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

He Zhilin instinctively tried to find the source of the sound.

He walked to his main courtyard, but before he even stepped into the house, he heard another voice, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Young Madam, the Second Young Master is really too much! He actually left you all alone! If the Grand Princess knew, she would be heartbroken for you."

The woman's voice turned stern, "No one is allowed to gossip in front of Grandmother!"

Grand Princess, He Zhilin suddenly realized who the voice belonged to.

But why is Jiang Shuwan at the Marquis of Huian's residence?

Why did the maid beside her call her "Young Mistress"?

He Zhilin wanted to go inside and ask for clarification.

Upon entering the house, He Zhilin found no one inside. He walked towards the inner room and saw Jiang Shuwan sitting alone in front of the dressing mirror, weeping.

He Zhilin went over to bow, only to find that Jiang Shuwan couldn't see him at all.

Just as he was wondering what to do, a man walked in.

This person was none other than himself.

In the dream, He Zhilin walked up to Jiang Shuwan and questioned her: "Why are you so intolerant of people? She is no longer here, why do you still make things difficult for her family!"

In her dream, Jiang Shuwan had already wiped away her tears. Upon seeing He Zhilin, she stood up and looked at him coldly, saying, "I didn't."

"I never imagined that someone from such a prestigious family could be so vicious!"

Jiang Shuwan found it amusing. "Me, malicious? If that's the case, why don't you give me a divorce agreement, and we can get a divorce!"

Jiang Shuwan spoke very resolutely.

"Why pretend now that things have come to this?"

In the dream, He Zhilin finished speaking and turned to leave without giving her a chance to reply.

He Zhilin wanted to stop the person in his dream from leaving, but he couldn't touch him at all.

What the hell does this happen?

He and Jiang Shuwan? When did they get married?

Suddenly, the world spun around him, and He Zhilin found himself in the garden.

He saw Jiang Shuwan and himself painting in the pavilion.

Jiang Shuwan looked at him with tender eyes, and he smiled, showing no trace of the redness he had felt during their argument.

He Zhilin reached out and grabbed the hand that was touching him, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Lin Ruoqing was startled, then she smiled and said, "Husband, you're awake."

He Zhilin was covered in sweat. When he saw that it was Lin Ruoqing, he let go of her.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ruoqing asked with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"

He Zhilin glanced outside and saw that it was getting dark. He looked at Lin Ruoqing and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep and was worried about you, so I came to the study to check on you. I didn't expect to find you sleeping so restlessly, as if you were having a nightmare. What did you dream about, my husband?" Lin Ruoqing asked curiously.

He Zhilin's expression darkened as he thought about the dream he had just had.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

He Zhilin's attitude towards her was somewhat cold.

Lin Ruoqing noticed that his expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

"Alright, Qing'er won't disturb Erlang's rest any longer."

After Lin Ruoqing finished speaking, she got up and left, but she kept turning back to look at him. He Zhilin did not try to stop her at all, and she could only leave the study reluctantly.

After leaving the study and walking until no one was around, Lin Ruoqing's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

She could just sense that He Zhilin was intentionally distancing himself from her. He Zhilin was the only person she could rely on in this mansion. If he also despised her, she really couldn't live.

He Zhilin got up, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it down in one gulp.

He had had similar dreams for the past few years, but he could never see the other person's face. Tonight, however, he saw the other person's face clearly in his dream.

What the hell does this happen?

He and Jiang Shuwan?

He Zhilin didn't sleep all night because of his dream.

General House

After Jiang Shuwan got up and washed up, her wet nurse arrived carrying Xie Mingyu.

Jiang Shuwan was filled with joy when she saw her chubby daughter.

"Take the girl down to sleep first, and bring her back after she wakes up," Jiang Shuwan said to the wet nurse.

"Yes." The wet nurse bowed and then carried Xie Mingyu away.

Xie Youwei arrived just as Jiang Shuwan was finishing her breakfast.

Without a doubt, she must have come to see Xie Mingyu.

After bowing to Jiang Shuwan, Xie Youwei noticed there were no children in the room and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Yu'er asleep?"

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "The wet nurse took him down to sleep."

"It's okay, I'll wait here for a while."

Xie Youwei now spends most of her day here, and whenever Xie Mingyu wakes up, she goes over to play with the child.

After Jiang Shuwan finished her meal, she asked Feiyue to prepare a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Xie Mingyu was still asleep, so Jiang Shuwan had no choice but to move these things to a side room.

"Is Sister-in-law going to draw a portrait of Yu'er?"

Xie Youwei then realized what she was going to do.

Jiang Shuwan nodded, then picked up a brush and began to paint.

Xie Youwei watched from the side. She had witnessed Jiang Shuwan's painting skills before; her paintings were incredibly lifelike.

An hour later, Jiang Shuwan finally put down her brush.

At this moment, Xie Mingyu also woke up.

The wet nurse carried Xie Mingyu to breastfeed, while Xie Youwei moved closer to Jiang Shuwan to look at the painting.

"Sister-in-law, you draw so well," Xie Youwei exclaimed again.

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll paint one for you when I have some free time."

"It's too much trouble, let's not do it." Xie Youwei was afraid of tiring her out.

Jiang Shuwan replied, "What's the trouble?"

Xie Youwei asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you drawing Yu'er?"

"Your brother hasn't seen Yu'er yet, and we don't know when he'll be back. I'll draw a picture of Yu'er and send it to the North City along with the letter."

Jiang Shuwan felt that Xie Huai'an definitely wanted to see what his daughter looked like.

Xie Youwei suddenly realized, "Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful. How come I didn't think of that?"

"Who knows? We don't even know what you're thinking," Jiang Shuwan teased her.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, please stop teasing me," Xie Youwei said, feeling embarrassed.

Jiang Shuwan raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you so shy? Do you have some secret in your heart?"

"No secrets. What secrets could I possibly have? If you say another word, I'm leaving."

Just as Xie Youwei finished speaking, the wet nurse came out carrying Xie Mingyu.

The child is still too young to be exposed to drafts, so Jiang Shuwan held her in the room while Xie Youwei played with her nearby.

Pei arrived shortly afterward.

She was overjoyed to see her granddaughter.

The General's Mansion became much more lively after Xie Mingyu arrived.

General Du Siyu also became more diligent.

She brought her two sons with her today.

Du Siyu's two sons are now eleven months old, and they can sit up on their own.

The two little ones kept trying to touch Xie Mingyu after seeing her, but Du Siyu stopped them, afraid that her sons would pinch Xie Mingyu too hard and hurt her.

"Cousin, why haven't I seen Xiaoya come to see you lately?"

Tao Ya's daughter is cute and adorable, and Du Siyu likes her quite a bit.

Only after she said that did Jiang Shuwan realize that she hadn't seen Tao Ya in a long time.
