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

After the two talked for a while, Jiang Shurou came in.

Jiang Shurou, who usually prefers to wear white, changed her style today, wearing a peach-pink dress, and her complexion looked much better than before.

"My sister is about to get married, so I came here to talk to her."

Li Shu disliked Jiang Shurou, but she didn't want to cause trouble today, so she made an excuse to leave.

"I wish my elder sister and brother-in-law a harmonious and peaceful life together."

Jiang Shurou's words were much more sincere than before, unlike her previous sarcastic tone.

"Thank you."

Jiang Shurou looked at her with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Sister, you look so beautiful today."

Jiang Shuwan said, "You'll be the same when you get married in the future."

Jiang Shurou smiled, "Then I'll accept your kind words, sister."

The two sisters were in a harmonious atmosphere for a while, but then they started bickering again.

Jiang Shuwan used to ignore her, and Jiang Shurou always won. Today, considering it was Jiang Shuwan's wedding, although she lost, she left with a smile.

Jiang Shuwan looked at Jiang Shurou's back with some helplessness. She didn't understand why Jiang Shurou had to seek a sense of superiority from her. Did she think that beating her was a good thing?

Today, the Grand Princess's residence is brightly decorated, and almost all the powerful and influential people in the capital have come.

The gifts bestowed by the Emperor and Empress came in like a flowing river, making everyone envious.

In their view, the Emperor's affection for the Grand Princess has remained unchanged for so many years.

Xie Huai'an's wedding procession arrived. There were people blocking the door. No one in the capital knew Xie Huai'an except that he was a military general. A poem urging the bride to get married made the scholars present shout loudly. With the addition of red envelopes, he was able to enter the house smoothly.

And so a large group of people arrived at Jiang Shuwan's house.

Jiang Shuwan was waiting for him with a fan.

Today, Xie Huai'an looked even more handsome in his red clothes, and because it was a joyous occasion, he had lost much of his fierceness.

The two locked eyes, and Li Shu's prediction had come true; Xie Huai'an was momentarily mesmerized.

Those who came along never expected the bride to be so beautiful.

I had long heard that the Grand Princess's granddaughter was as beautiful as an angel, and seeing her today, I realized it wasn't an exaggeration, but the truth.

After bidding farewell to his parents and grandmother, Xie Huai'an took Jiang Shuwan's hand and left the Grand Princess's residence.

The Grand Princess couldn't help but shed tears as she watched the two figures leave.

Jiang Shuwan felt very reluctant to see it, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Jiang Shuwan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief as she boarded the bridal sedan chair.

The General's Mansion, bestowed by the Emperor, was not far from the Grand Princess's Mansion, so we arrived at the General's Mansion in no time.

After getting off the bridal sedan chair, they went to the wedding ceremony.

The General's Mansion had quite a few guests today, including even the First Prince and the Third Prince, not to mention other ministers from the court.

Li Shu, after leaving the Grand Princess's residence, also came to join the fun at the General's Mansion.

"Sister, Wan-jie looks so beautiful today."

The Third Prince, Li Huan, is thirteen years old this year. He has a good relationship with both Li Shu and Jiang Shuwan.

"That's not."

Li Shu's tone was full of pride.

Only Xie's mother, Pei Lingyi, sat in the main hall.

When Li Shu saw Pei Shi, she thought to herself, "No wonder Xie Huai'an is so handsome; it turns out his mother is a beauty."

Dressed in a purple brocade robe, Lady Pei exuded elegance and nobility, in no way inferior to the noble ladies of the capital.

Watching her son and daughter-in-law complete their wedding ceremony with a smile, Madam Pei was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with tears.

After completing a whole host of procedures, Jiang Shuwan was exhausted, but she still had to sit and wait for the groom to return.

Fortunately, Li Shu was there to keep her company.

Jiang Shuwan ate only a small bite this morning, and is now starving.

"You're the one who thinks of me the most."

Jiang Shuwan thanked Li Shu while eating the pastries.

Li Shu looked at her with heartache, "Being a bride is too tiring."

"It's quite tiring, but thankfully you're here."

After eating something, Jiang Shuwan felt better, and after a while, someone came to call Li Shu back to the palace.

Li Shu left reluctantly, leaving Jiang Shuwan alone in the once lively bridal chamber.

Xie Huai'an had made some friends in the capital during this time. Compared to the military generals, these civil officials could drink more, so he had to pretend to be drunk and be helped away from the banquet by a servant.

The Grand Princess and the General's Mansion were bustling with activity, while the Huian Earl's Mansion was much quieter. However, out of respect for the Second Prince, some people from the Earl's Mansion still came.

The Huian Earl and his wife were not very satisfied with the marriage, so the smiles on their faces did not reach their eyes.

In particular, the second prince left after only a short while, using some excuse.

The Second Prince was annoyed with He Zhilin. He thought the same as the Earl of Huian: he wanted to help him, so he hoped that He Zhilin could marry into a family that would benefit him. Unexpectedly, He Zhilin asked to marry the daughter of a minor official.

Not only was the second prince angry, but Consort He in the palace was also furious. She had high hopes for her nephew, but he ignored his family's advice and married a wife that no one was happy with.

The only people in the entire household who were happy were probably He Zhilin and Lin Ruoqing.

***

General House

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Shuwan quickly picked up her fan.

Xie Huai'an walked in with steady steps. He took the fan from Jiang Shuwan's hand, and now he could see it clearly.

The room was ablaze with red, and both of their faces were flushed.

Xie Huai'an asked with concern, "Have you eaten yet?"

He had previously instructed the maid to deliver meals to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "I used some."

Xie Huai'an could tell from the phoenix crown on Jiang Shuwan's head that it must be very heavy.

"Have someone come and help you remove these; you must be exhausted after wearing them all day."

"it is good."

Jiang Shuwan had wanted to uninstall it for a long time.

Jiang Shuwan had Feiyue and Feiyun help her remove her hairpins and jewelry, while Xie Huai'an went to another room to wash up, as he smelled too strongly of alcohol.

Seeing that Xie Huai'an had left, Jiang Shuwan asked someone to prepare water so she could take a shower. The weather was getting warmer, and she had been wearing more than ten layers of clothing and had sweated a lot.

By the time Jiang Shuwan finished washing up, Xie Huai'an had already returned to the room.

Feiyue and Feiyun had only ever served Jiang Shuwan, and they were somewhat reserved when they saw Xie Huai'an.

Jiang Shuwan noticed this and instructed, "You may all leave now."

"Yes."

After closing the door, only Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an remained in the room.

Jiang Shuwan recalled that the wedding ceremony was now complete and she felt she could finally rest.

Looking at Xie Huai'an sitting on the edge of the couch, Jiang Shuwan asked, "Shall I lie down inside?"

"Row."

Xie Huai'an quickly moved aside.

Jiang Shuwan took off her shoes and lay down on the inside. After lying down, she suddenly thought of something.

Consummate the marriage!

The thought of consummating their marriage made Jiang Shuwan feel that she had gone to bed too early. She wondered if Xie Huai'an would misunderstand and think she was implying something to him.

Just as Jiang Shuwan was filled with regret, Xie Huai'an was already lying down beside her.

Although she had been married in her previous life, she and He Zhilin had never been intimate, nor had they ever slept together on the same bed.

Jiang Shuwan was lost in thought when Xie Huai'an suddenly pinned her down.

Jiang Shuwan, "!!!"

Her eyes were wide open at this moment, but Xie Huai'an found them very cute, like a frightened little white rabbit he saw outdoors.

Xie Huai'an's throat bobbed, and he said in a low voice, "Tell me if you feel unwell."

After saying that, he kissed her.

Jiang Shuwan's mind went blank.

...Ten thousand words are omitted here...

Afterwards, Jiang Shuwan wanted to take a shower, but her whole body was sore and she couldn't move at all.

Xie Huai'an saw through her thoughts, had hot water prepared, and carried her to the bathhouse.
