The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife
Chapter 21 The First Day of the Wedding
When Xie Huai'an carried Jiang Shuwan out of the bathroom again, the bed had already been cleaned up.
Jiang Shuwan originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep instantly as soon as she got into bed. On the other hand, Xie Huai'an couldn't close his eyes for a long time while looking at his beautiful wife not far away.

Huian Earl's Mansion
He Zhilin also returned to the bridal chamber reeking of alcohol.
Looking at the bride He Zhilin sitting quietly by the bed, I had a sense of déjà vu.
This feeling has come to me many times today, as if he had been married once.
Seeing He Zhilin standing at the door for a long time without coming over, Lin Ruoqing couldn't help but call out to him.
"Erlang?"
He Zhilin came to his senses and walked towards Lin Ruoqing.
Lin Ruoqing was more charming than usual today. He Zhilin came to his senses and realized that his previous thoughts were too absurd.
The two successfully consummated their marriage.

Second day
Granny Zhou woke up Jiang Shuwan, who was fast asleep.
The Grand Princess was worried about her granddaughter, so she sent her personal nanny to take care of her.
"Miss, it's time to get up. You need to serve tea to Madam Xie later."
Jiang Shuwan felt annoyed and covered her head with the blanket.
Granny Zhou pulled the quilt down.
"Girl, my dear girl..."
Jiang Shuwan was pulled up in a daze.
After washing up, changing clothes, and putting on makeup, Jiang Shuwan felt much more awake.
Jiang Shuwan was wearing a light red dress, and her hair was styled in a married-looking way, which gave her a completely different aura.
Xie Huai'an saw the maids pacing back and forth and felt that it was almost time before entering the room.
Meeting Xie Huai'an's eyes reminded Jiang Shuwan of last night, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Granny Zhou said respectfully, "General, our princess is ready and can go serve tea now."
"it is good."
Xie Huai'an and Jiang Shuwan, accompanied by their maids, went to the front hall to serve tea.
Madam Pei sat in the main seat, smiling as she looked at her son and daughter-in-law.
There were too many people yesterday, so I didn't get a good look, but her daughter-in-law is incredibly beautiful.
Jiang Shuwan bowed and said, "Daughter-in-law Jiang Shuwan serves tea to Mother."
"Good good."
Pei smiled, took the teacup, took a sip, and put it down.
Jiang Shuwan originally thought that she was about to be reprimanded, but unexpectedly, Madam Pei took her hand affectionately.
"This bracelet was given to me by Huai'an's father. Now I'm giving it to you, hoping that you and Huai'an can live a good life together."
A fine white jade bracelet was placed on Jiang Shuwan's wrist.
This jade is a rare and precious warm jade material.
Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother. I will live a good life with Huai'an."
Xie Huai'an couldn't help but look at her when he heard her call his name.
Looking at her son, Madam Pei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She never expected that her usually cold-faced son would be like this. However, her daughter-in-law was so beautiful and charming that even she herself couldn't help but admire her.
After serving tea, the three of them went to have breakfast.
Pei was considerate and let her daughter-in-law rest after she finished her meal.
Xie Huai'an escorted Jiang Shuwan back to the front yard.
Only Jiang Shuwan and her servants Feiyue and Feiyun remained in the room.
"Fortunately, Madam Xie is a kind person." Fei Yun has always been outspoken.
Jiang Shuwan felt that Feiyun was right this time. Madam Xie was a very kind person. In her previous life, Jiang Shuwan was scolded by her mother-in-law on the first day she married into the Huian Marquis's Mansion. Not only that, but she was also very well-behaved. At that time, He Zhilin only had his deceased sweetheart in his heart and did not protect her at all. She could only rely on herself to gain a foothold in the Marquis's Mansion.
After removing her hairpins and makeup, Jiang Shuwan lay down on the bed again. She was so tired yesterday that she fell asleep quickly.
Feiyue and Feiyun exchanged a glance, then lowered the bed curtains and quietly left.
Feiyue left Feiyun to rest while she guarded the gate.
Xie Huai'an, whom we thought would never appear, has returned.
Feiyue bowed her head and greeted, "General."
Xie Huai'an responded and pushed open the door to enter the house. Before Fei Yue could speak, he closed the door to her.
Feiyue, "..."
Xie Huai'an unconsciously slowed his pace, walked to the bedside, and lifted the bed curtains. He saw that Jiang Shuwan was fast asleep. She had slept just as soundly last night, and she was asleep again now. This touched on Xie Huai'an's blind spot, and he secretly made a mental note of it.
This morning, noticing that she was walking a little awkwardly, Xie Huai'an thought that he might have injured her last night, so he went out to get some medicine. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Xie Huai'an didn't disturb her, put the medicine by the bedside, and then left.
Feiyue looked anxious outside, wanting to go inside but not daring to. Unexpectedly, the door was opened a moment later, and Xie Huai'an came out from inside. He even thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
"Let the princess rest well and don't disturb her."
Xie Huai'an left after saying those words.
Feiyue breathed a sigh of relief and stood guard outside the door.
Xie Huai'an went to the front yard; this time he was there to take care of important business.
**
At the Xie residence, both masters and servants were in high spirits early in the morning, while at the Huian Earl's residence, the masters showed no joy and the servants worked with trepidation.
Lin Ruoqing and He Zhilin went to the front hall to serve tea, but neither Huianbo nor Ye Shi were there. The two waited for a long time before people came into the hall.
The He family members arrived one after another before Qi Hui'an and Ye Shi arrived.
The elders sipped their tea with stern faces. The Earl of Hui'an was the first to leave, leaving only Madam Ye and a few female relatives. Madam Ye then began to give a speech.
"From this day forward, you are a wife of the He family. You must be dutiful to your parents-in-law and obedient to your husband..."
Lin Ruoqing almost lost her footing, and He Zhilin couldn't bear to see this and spoke up to protect her.
Ye glared at Lin Ruoqing with annoyance and then said that the meeting was over.
Lin Ruoqing was overjoyed; she could finally leave.
Then Ye spoke up, "You come and serve us our meal."
Since He Zhilin couldn't be present when the women ate, Lin Ruoqing had to handle it herself this time.
Lin Ruoqing was miserable. She had barely finished breakfast when lunch was about to start.
Although her father wasn't a high-ranking official, and she herself had been pampered since childhood, she had never suffered like this before.
Back in her room, Lin Ruo wanted to confide in He Zhilin, but she couldn't even find him. He Zhilin was too busy with work during the day to come to the backyard.
After lunch, Lin Ruoqing thought everything was fine, but then Madam Ye summoned two young and beautiful women.
"These two are my maids. From now on, they will serve Erlang with you."
Lin Ruoqing was about to lose her composure; she could tolerate anything except this.
“Mother, I have only been married into the He family for one day, and you are already sending people into my husband’s room. This is not in accordance with etiquette.”
Ye scoffed, "You know it's against propriety, but it's perfectly acceptable for a young woman like you, who hasn't even left home, to seduce men?"
Ye's words were too blunt, and Lin Ruoqing blushed as she retorted, "I didn't!"
“You’ve forgotten everything I said this morning, how dare you talk back to your mother-in-law! I’ll let you off this time since it’s your first time, but I won’t let you off easily next time.”
After Ye finished speaking, she told her to leave.
Lin Ruoqing could only swallow her anger and leave through gritted teeth.
Madam Ye gave a wink to the two maids beside her, and they immediately followed Lin Ruoqing.
Lin Ruoqing was furious with the two of them, but they wouldn't leave no matter how hard she tried. She could only wait for He Zhilin to finish so that she could deal with it.
