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

Grand Princess Zhaorong glanced at Jiang Shuwan and saw that she looked normal, so she couldn't help but sigh.

What brings you here today?

After considering his words for a moment, Marquis Dongping said, "To be honest, Mother, my husband and I have come here today to bring Shuwan back to the Marquis's residence."

Upon hearing that she was to be taken back to the Marquis's residence, a hint of emotion finally appeared on Jiang Shuwan's usually calm face.

Princess Zhaorong frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing that both the grandfather and granddaughter looked unhappy, the Marquis of Dongping glanced at his wife subconsciously, then forced himself to say, "Shu Wan has come of age, and we arranged a marriage for her before, Mother, you also..."

"You still have the nerve to say it!"

Before Marquis Dongping could finish speaking, Grand Princess Zhaorong angrily interrupted him.

“Wan’er has grown up with me since she was a child. I don’t usually see you caring about her much, yet you made decisions about her marriage behind my back!”

"Mother, calm down."

Marquis Dongping was so frightened that he stood up and bowed.

Madam Gu was already afraid of her mother-in-law, and she was so frightened that she stood up along with Marquis Dongping.

Only Jiang Shuwan remained seated steadily.

In her past life, her grandmother had a big fight with her father over her marriage. Later, her mother found her and asked her to persuade her grandmother to agree to the marriage. She also told her how kind the He family was and how easy it was for the matriarch of the He family to get along with, saying that she would never suffer any grievances if she married into the family.

For more than a decade, her mother had never spoken to her so gently. Her words were full of consideration for her, and she chose to believe her. So she told her grandmother that she was willing to marry into the He family.

One wrong step and one wrong step after another.

Princess Zhaorong said irritably, "You've arranged a marriage between your children to repay a debt of gratitude. In that case, let Shurou marry into the He family."

Madam Gu was so frightened that she forgot all her manners and hurriedly said, "No, Mother!"

Grand Princess Zhaorong retorted sarcastically, "Why not? They are both legitimate daughters of the Jiang family. If Wan'er can marry, why can't Shu Rou? The Lady of Dongping Marquis is truly fair in her dealings with everyone!"

Gu Shi, her back covered in cold sweat, explained, "Mother, I am not being biased. It's just that Shu Wan is the eldest daughter. How can the younger sister get married before the older sister?"

Grand Princess Zhaorong sneered, "That's easy to handle. Anyway, I plan to stay in the capital for a few months, which is enough time for me to find a husband for Wan'er. I think I can catch up with Shu Rou."

“My mother, Rou’er, is frail, and my husband and I plan to keep her here for a few more years…”

Gu's voice grew softer and softer, and she lowered her head.

Princess Zhaorong grew increasingly disheartened by her daughter-in-law's behavior; how could she be so biased towards her twin daughters?

"Wan'er, you go down first. I have something to say to your parents."

Princess Zhaorong didn't want to hurt Jiang Shuwan's feelings, so she sent her away.

Jiang Shuwan naturally understood her grandmother's feelings for her, and she stood up and bowed to her grandmother.

"Wan'er has something to say to her father and mother before she leaves."

The Marquis of Dongping and his wife both felt that their eldest daughter had always been sensible and had never disobeyed them, and they thought that their eldest daughter would speak up for them this time as well.

“I will never marry into the He family, my father’s family or my mother’s family.”

After making her stance clear, Jiang Shuwan bowed to them and left.

Grand Princess Zhaorong could tell that Jiang Shuwan was truly angry.

“You all heard it. Wan’er said she doesn’t want to marry. Let’s see who dares to make her marry.”

Madam Gu couldn't help but say, "Mother, you love your granddaughter but don't you love your son?"

Grand Princess Zhaorong said coldly, "I think you're becoming more and more unruly, actually trying to sow discord between me and Hanlin's mother!"

Madam Gu immediately knelt down, "Daughter-in-law, no, daughter-in-law misspoke in a moment of panic."

Marquis Dongping pleaded for Gu, saying, "Mother, please be magnanimous and don't side with her."

Grand Princess Zhaorong was already somewhat angry, but seeing her son's attitude only fueled her rage. "You! You all!!!"

Princess Zhaorong looked at her son kneeling on the ground and felt very disappointed. She was happy that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, but her son had become more and more outrageous over the years.

"Mother, calm down."

Seeing his mother so angry, the Marquis of Dongping felt a pang of regret.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Grand Princess Zhaorong said helplessly, "Alright, you may both get up."

The Marquis of Dongping did not rise, and Lady Gu dared not get up.

Let them kneel if they want; Grand Princess Zhaorong doesn't care.

“I have sent people to inquire about the second son of the He family. He is talented and handsome, but he is not a good match for Wan’er. Today I will give you two choices: either let Shu Rou marry into the family, or break off the engagement with the He family. I have nothing more to say to you now. You may leave.”

Marquis Dongping hesitated, but since his mother was indeed in a bad mood today, he had no choice but to swallow his words and leave with his wife.

"Son takes his leave."

"Daughter-in-law, take your leave."

The Marquis of Dongping and his wife walked very quickly.

Princess Zhaorong couldn't help but sigh as she watched them leave.

The personal maidservant of Grand Princess Zhaorong stepped forward and said with concern, "Grand Princess, please don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Liu Hua, you saw it too. Neither of them cares about Wan'er. She's their own daughter!"

Granny Zhou comforted her, "Princess, calm down. The eldest young lady still has you."

The Grand Princess nodded, "That's right, I'll stand up for Wan'er and see who dares to bully her."

****

Jiang Shuwan returned to her own courtyard after leaving Cuihua Courtyard, and soon after, she heard from a maid that the Marquis of Dongping and his wife had left the Grand Princess's residence.

"The Marquis and his wife are too biased."

Feiyun couldn't help but speak up for Jiang Shuwan.

Feiyue nudged her and gave her a wink.

Feiyun realized she had misspoke and quickly said, "Miss, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to help you..."

"Okay, stop explaining, I know everything."

Although Jiang Shuwan's expression was calm, Feiyue could sense that Jiang Shuwan was unhappy.

"You are the best person I have ever met. In my heart, you are the most important person, and no one can compare to you."

After Feiyue finished speaking, Feiyun quickly chimed in, "Yes, Feiyue is right, you are the best girl in the world."

As Jiang Shuwan looked at the two of them, many things from the past came to mind.

"Thank you all." Thank you for your unwavering support in our past lives.

Feiyue and Feiyun exchanged a glance and knelt on the ground. The girl had shown them kindness and was like a second parent to them.
