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

"Just say what you have to say."

Jiang Shuwan didn't want to discuss with her whether she was happy or not. As long as she was happy with her own life, she didn't need to care about other people's opinions.

Jiang Shurou suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Sister, please beg Grandmother to stop Father and Mother from getting divorced."

Once Gu left the Dongping Marquis's residence, she was nothing. With nowhere else to go, she could only return to the Gu family.

Jiang Shuwan said coldly, "I can't make the decision on this matter, and neither can my grandmother. If you want to plead for mercy, go ask the Marquis of Dongping."

"Sister, Father is gone. Are you really so cold-hearted?" Jiang Shurou tried to persuade her.

Jiang Shuwan glared at her, "I'm cold-hearted? You're calling me cold-hearted now, but how did you treat me before! Did you ever think about us being sisters when you pushed me into the icy lake!"

Jiang Shurou slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to. It was my second aunt. She told me that my parents wouldn't like me anymore if you came back, so I was bewitched. I regretted it afterwards..."

Jiang Shuwan found her repentant expression hilarious.

"Why didn't you come forward and speak out afterward!"

Jiang Shurou explained, "I'm scared. I'm scared that my parents won't like me because of this."

Jiang Shuwan looked into her eyes and asked, "Jiang Shurou, is this really the only thing between us?"

Their eyes met, and Jiang Shurou quickly looked away, feeling guilty.

Jiang Shuwan saw through her thoughts and sneered, "Actually, you are not truly repentant. You are just afraid that the Gu family will be driven out of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. If the Gu family has nowhere to go, they can only go back to the Gu family. You are doing this all for yourself."

“Yes, I’m doing this for myself, but don’t you think about how you’ll lose face after your parents’ divorce?” Jiang Shurou admitted.

Jiang Shuwan retorted, "When has that family ever made me feel proud?"

Seeing that she was determined, Jiang Shurou couldn't help but say, "Sister, you really have a hard heart."

Jiang Shuwan said calmly, "This is all thanks to your training. If it weren't for this, I would be the one who died."

Jiang Shurou said angrily, "Fine, fine, from now on you live your glamorous life as the general's wife, and I'll live my life. We won't interfere with each other!"

Jiang Shuwan, "..."

Gu Shuchen rushed over upon learning that the Marquis of Dongping was not there.

When Jiang Shurou saw Gu Shuchen arrive, her eyes lit up instantly.

Jiang Shurou got up from the ground, crying and stumbling into Gu Shuchen's arms, "Cousin!"

Gu Shuchen glanced down at Jiang Shurou, then looked up at Jiang Shuwan. He saw Jiang Shuwan walk towards Xie Huai'an. The two exchanged a glance and then walked into the courtyard.

Gu Shuchen withdrew his gaze and asked in a low voice, "How could Father have passed away so suddenly?"

He was somewhat incredulous when he first heard about it.

"It was Dieyi who poisoned my father and killed him."

**

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an went to find the Grand Princess. The Grand Princess saw them and beckoned Jiang Shuwan to come to her.

"Go back to the General's Mansion. Don't worry about things here."

The Grand Princess has now accepted the fact that her son has passed away.

"Grandma, I'll stay here with you," Jiang Shuwan said, worried about her.

The Grand Princess said, "No need, you can go back. I can handle this matter."

Seeing her insistence, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an left the Dongping Marquis's residence.

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an sat side by side in the carriage.

Xie Huai'an knew she must be feeling bad, so he didn't say anything and just quietly stayed with her the whole way.

The carriage stopped at the General's Mansion. Xie Huai'an got off the carriage first, and then reached out to help Jiang Shuwan down from the carriage.

Pei was unaware of the events at the Dongping Marquis's residence, and she was overjoyed to see the two of them return together.

"Huai'an, come and see Xiaoyu'er."

February was still chilly, so Madam Pei did not bring Xie Mingyu out.

They went to Mingxiang Garden together a few days later.

When Xie Mingyu saw Jiang Shuwan arrive, she waved her little arms happily.

Jiang Shuwan saw the loving smile on her daughter's face.

"Little Jade".

Jiang Shuwan took the child into her arms.

Xie Mingyu laughed happily.

Xie Huai'an's heart softened instantly when he saw Jiang Shuwan holding Xie Mingyu.

Jiang Shuwan hugged Xie Mingyu and said to her, "Yu'er, look, Daddy's back."

Xie Huai'an felt a little unfamiliar when he heard this name, but now he clearly realized that this was his and Jiang Shuwan's child.

Perhaps due to blood ties, Xie Mingyu was not afraid of Xie Huai'an and kept waving at him.

Seeing the heartwarming scene of the family, Madam Pei quietly withdrew and told the wet nurses and maids to come out.

Seeing Xie Huai'an standing there motionless, Jiang Shuwan said, "Quickly hug her."

Xie Huai'an had never held a child before. He stiffly took the baby, afraid that he would hurt his daughter if he used too much force.

Seeing his stiff movements, Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xie Huai'an asked, "Am I wrong?"

"Don't be afraid, she's all grown up now and isn't as fragile as she was when she was born."

After carefully examining Xie Mingyu, Xie Huai'an said, "She looks exactly like the portrait you drew."

When Xie Huai'an saw Xie Mingyu's portrait, he felt an indescribable emotion and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He carefully kept the portrait of his daughter.

Jiang Shuwan glared at him. "Of course it's exactly the same as what she drew."

Xie Huai'an rarely showed a silly smile.

"Give me the child, and go wash up."

"it is good."

Xie Huai'an handed his daughter over to Jiang Shuwan.

After filling the bathtub with water, Xie Huai'an went to the bath room to wash up.

Jiang Shuwan was holding Xie Mingyu and waiting for him in the inner room.

Xie Huai'an, dressed in a white undergarment, saw the mother and daughter playing on the bed, and he couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Shuwan asked, "Do you need to go to the palace to report today?"

I'll go in a bit.

Having arrived in the capital, Xie Huai'an wishes to meet with Emperor Mingde.

"Then hurry up and go, don't wait until it gets dark. Go to the palace and see if you can bring Huaiyu back. I'll have the kitchen prepare some good food so our family can have a nice get-together."

"it is good."

Xie Huai'an put on his clothes and left reluctantly.

Xie Huai'an had already left when Xie Youwei arrived.

"Sister-in-law, where is my older brother?"

Xie Youwei has not yet met her older brother.

"They went to the palace."

"Is Huaiyu coming back today?"

Xie Youwei hasn't seen her younger brother for half a month.

"When my older brother comes back, he'll pick him up too."

Xie Youwei nodded; her family was finally reunited.

"Little Yu'er, let your aunt hug you."

Xie Mingyu kept hunching over, trying to find Xie Youwei.

Xie Youwei really liked this little girl; she was fair-skinned and clean-cut.

Jiang Shuwan asked the wet nurse to come in and help look after Xie Huai'an, and she also asked the kitchen to prepare some of Xie Huai'an's favorite dishes.

Royal Palace

When Emperor Mingde heard that Marquis Dongping had passed away, he was very saddened and issued an imperial edict to give Marquis Dongping a grand funeral.
