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

Marquis Dongping wanted to call Jiang Shurou back, as he didn't want his second daughter to disturb his mother and eldest daughter.

"Master Hou."

At this moment, Dieyi called out to Dongping Hou.

Marquis Dongping looked at her.

"Why are you here?"

The Marquis of Dongping was somewhat indifferent.

Although Dieyi has been at the Dongping Marquis's residence for more than two years, the Dongping Marquis has never let her stay overnight.

“Jingyuan misses you. He called for his father first thing this morning.”

Dieyi's child is almost three years old, and Marquis Dongping still has some affection for this son.

Upon hearing that his son was looking for him, Marquis Dongping completely forgot about Jiang Shurou.

When Jiang Shurou and Gu Shuchen arrived at the general's mansion, they found that Jiang Shuwan was also there.

Gu Shuchen's gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Shuwan. He had tried his best to hide it, but Jiang Shuwan still noticed.

"This must be my sister's daughter. She looks just like her."

Jiang Shurou's eyes were filled with envy.

The Grand Princess gave a perfunctory reply.

Jiang Shurou realized that they were not happy with her presence, so she suggested leaving.

Gu Shuchen left with great reluctance.

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Shurou's attention was focused on the child, so she didn't notice Gu Shuchen's gaze.

After leaving the Grand Princess's residence, Jiang Shurou and Gu Shuchen boarded a carriage and returned to the Dongping Marquis's residence.

The two didn't exchange a single word the entire way. Jiang Shurou wanted to speak several times, but seeing Gu Shuchen's indifferent face, she swallowed her words.

Dongping Marquis Mansion

When Jiang Shurou arrived, she saw Dongping Hou holding Jiang Jingyuan and talking happily, while Dieyi stood aside watching them with a smile in her eyes.

From a distance, they looked like a happy family.

Jiang Shurou felt a pang of pain in her heart. This used to be her home, how did it become like this?

She suppressed her emotions and forced a smile, "Father."

Marquis Dongping only looked at Jiang Shurou after hearing the voice.

Gu Shuchen bowed to his father-in-law.

Marquis Dongping nodded, his expression indifferent.

Dieyi greeted Jiang Shurou and Gu Shuchen with a smile on her face.

After saying that, she turned to her son and said, "Jingyuan, quickly pay your respects to your second sister and brother-in-law."

"Jingyuan greets his second sister and brother-in-law," Jiang Jingyuan said haltingly.

Marquis Dongping was very pleased to hear this.

Even though Jiang Shurou disliked this illegitimate child, she dared not show it in front of her father, so she could only return a smile.

"Father, you talk to Shuchen for a while, I'll go and pay my respects to Mother."

The Marquis of Dongping's expression darkened at the mention of the Gu family.

"Go."

As Jiang Shurou left the lobby, the smile on her face vanished without a trace.

For some reason, she felt that the Dongping Marquis's mansion was no longer her home when she returned this time. Her father had a son and no longer cared about her. She had lost her support.

Meanwhile, Madam Gu was waiting for her daughter inside the house.

As soon as Jiang Shurou arrived at the Gu family's, she happily took her hand and asked her about her well-being.

"Why did you come alone? Where is Shuchen?"

"He's talking to his father."

Mrs. Gu noticed that her daughter was not very interested.

"What happened? Did Shuchen bully you? Or your mother-in-law...?"

After calming down for so long, Madam Gu had already figured it out; she was afraid that her daughter would be implicated.

Jiang Shurou pulled her back, interrupting her wild thoughts.

"No, my cousin treats me very well. My mother-in-law is too busy taking care of herself to have time to look after me."

Madam Gu looked at her daughter with heartache, "It's all my fault. I was too impulsive and dragged you into this."

Upon hearing Gu's words, Jiang Shurou couldn't hold back any longer, and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.

Gu hugged Jiang Shurou with self-reproach, pondering in her heart.

Jiang Shurou dared not tell Gu Shi about Dieyi, fearing that Gu Shi might do something irreversible again.

After lunch, Jiang Shurou and Gu Shuchen left the Dongping Marquis's residence.

The maidservant beside Madam Gu hurriedly ran to the Marquis of Dongping and knelt down.

"My lord, please go and see the lady."

Marquis Dongping frowned. "What's wrong with her now?"

"The lady has hanged herself..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Marquis Dongping hurriedly ran towards Madam Gu's courtyard.

Dieyi, standing to the side, looked resentful. This old woman actually dared to come out!

When the Marquis of Dongping arrived, Lady Gu had already been placed on the bed by the maids.

When Marquis Dongping saw her pale face, he was both angry and anxious.

What are you doing on Chinese New Year?!

Upon seeing the Marquis of Dongping, Lady Gu began to cry softly, "My Lord..."

After all, she was his first wife, and he had been with her for decades. The Marquis of Dongping still had feelings for her, especially after seeing how thin and frail Gu Shi had become.

"You only have one life, so you must never do this again." The Marquis of Dongping's voice softened slightly.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Could you please come and see me more often..." Gu looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Marquis Dongping softened and nodded.

A smile immediately appeared on Gu's face.

Marquis Dongping tucked the blanket around her, saying, "You should rest well."

Madam Gu grabbed his hand. "My lord, are you leaving?"

Seeing her like this, the Marquis of Dongping felt it was inappropriate to leave.

"I do not go."

Only then did Madam Gu smile again.

The servants in the room all withdrew, and Madam Gu recounted many fond memories of her time with Marquis Dongping, who also fondly recalled the past.

The masters were overjoyed that the servants in the Gu family's courtyard had reconciled with them.

When Dieyi found out, she was so angry that she smashed the teacup.

Jiang Jingyuan was startled by her.

When Dieyi saw this, she quickly comforted her son, who was her hope for the rest of her life.

"Yuan'er, don't be afraid, Mother just made a mistake."

Jiang Jingyuan's complexion improved somewhat.

Holding Jiang Jingyuan in her arms, Dieyi thought to herself and said to the maid beside her, "Go find the Marquis because Jingyuan is frightened and crying for his father."

"Yes."

The maid hurried over.

Upon hearing the maid's message, Marquis Dongping frowned and instinctively looked at Madam Gu.

Unexpectedly, Madam Gu acted out of character, saying softly, "My lord, please go and take a look."

Marquis Dongping was taken aback.

This is completely out of character for the Gu family.

“I’ve thought it through. Jingyuan is the Marquis’s only son, and I will treat him as my own son from now on.” After saying this, Madam Gu lowered her eyes.

Marquis Dongping did not see the hatred in her eyes; he simply thought that Madam Gu had matured a lot after these events.

"I'll be right back, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

Mrs. Gu nodded happily.

Marquis Dongping left happily.

The smile on Gu's face vanished.

Only the one who comes out of her womb is the master of the Marquis of Dongping; what are the others?

When Marquis Dongping arrived at Dieyi's courtyard, he found his son jumping around inside the house.

"Daddy!"

Jiang Jingyuan happily hugged Dongping Hou's leg, but Dongping Hou did not hug him back happily as usual.

Dieyi noticed that Marquis Dongping was unhappy.

Dieyi smiled and tried to get close to Dongping Hou, but Dongping Hou dodged her.

"Take the young master away." Marquis Dongping spoke, and the wet nurse carried Jiang Jingyuan away.

Dieyi asked softly, "What's wrong, Lord Marquis?"

Marquis Dongping shouted sternly, "Kneel down!"

Dieyi was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

"If you use Jingyuan as an excuse again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Marquis Dongping warned her.
