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

Jiang Shuwan stared at her.

Fei Yun immediately confessed.

“I am Xiaogu… no, the Madam and the General have a good relationship.”

Jiang Shuwan paused for a moment, then asked, "Are we on good terms?"

"Yes, the general is good to his wife, and his wife is good to him."

After finishing her sentence, Feiyun added, "Before you got married, everyone was saying bad things about the General, saying that you would be crying every day after marrying into the General's mansion. But once they see how good the General is to you, let's see if they'll still be gossiping!"

Feiyue glared at Feiyun. It was fortunate that this fellow was with the kind-hearted lady. If it were someone else's master, he would probably have had his tongue cut out and sold off long ago.

Jiang Shuwan recalled that she hadn't spent much time with Xie Huai'an yesterday, and she didn't know how this girl could tell that the two of them had a good relationship. However, Xie Huai'an was indeed a nice person except for certain times.

Finally, Jiang Shuwan took out a fine fur from her storeroom, intending to have it made into a fox fur coat, and also found a piece of cloth to make a robe for Xie Huai'an.

When Xie Huai'an returned at noon, there was an embroiderer waiting for him.

Jiang Shuwan said, "General, I plan to make you a few robes. Let the embroiderer take your measurements."

Xie Huai'an has always disliked others getting close to him; men are fine, but women are not.

The embroiderer was afraid of Xie Huai'an and dared not step forward.

Jiang Shuwan reluctantly took the measuring tape and walked towards Xie Huai'an.

"I'll have you watching from the sidelines."

The embroiderer quickly picked up paper and pen to write it down.

Xie Huai'an obediently raised his hand in front of Jiang Shuwan, doing whatever she asked him to do, and quickly got the measurements taken.

After the embroiderer left, Xie Huai'an asked, "Is this the gift you prepared?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded and said, "That's right, but time is tight, you definitely won't be able to take it with you this time. I'll send someone to deliver it to you after it's done."

Xie Huai'an was secretly pleased. "It's alright, no rush."

During lunch, Madam Pei said to Jiang Shuwan, "I have enough clothes already, there's no need to make any more, it's a waste."

Xie Huai'an then realized that Jiang Shuwan hadn't just made clothes for him alone; everyone else in the family had them too. His initial joy dissipated considerably.

The three days of their marriage passed quickly. On the day of their return visit, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an got up early to prepare and went directly to the Grand Princess's residence.

When they arrived at the Grand Princess's residence, Marquis Dongping, Lady Gu, and Jiang Shurou were all present.

Jiang Shuwan bowed, "Grandmother, Father, Mother."

Xie Huai'an followed suit, calling out to others.

The Grand Princess happily pulled her up, saying, "Good, good, good."

He held his beloved granddaughter's hand and looked her up and down, only feeling relieved when he saw that she had a rosy complexion.

In fact, Granny Zhou had already reported on Jiang Shuwan's daily life in the General's Mansion, but she was still relieved to see it with her own eyes.

Madam Gu was originally dissatisfied with her son-in-law, but today she felt he was passable.

At first, the Marquis of Dongping did not think much of his son-in-law, but after getting to know him, he changed his opinion and now likes him very much.

Jiang Shurou secretly sized up her brother-in-law. His appearance and speech were acceptable. Apart from his less-than-ideal background, he seemed to be good in every way. Moreover, judging from Jiang Shuwan's appearance, she seemed to be living a good life after marriage.

Although Xie Huai'an was not in the capital, he had heard a lot of rumors in the past two days and knew that Jiang Shuwan's relationship with her parents was not good. However, he did not slack off or be perfunctory because of this. He was humble and polite and successfully won the favor of the Jiang family.

After the banquet, Marquis Dongping and the others left, and the Grand Princess pulled Jiang Shuwan into the room to have a private talk.

How does he treat you?

The Grand Princess's "right" wasn't just about ordinary matters, but also included matters in the bedroom.

"Grandma~~"

Jiang Shuwan really didn't know how to tell her grandmother. She never thought she would have to discuss this with her grandmother one day.

Judging from her granddaughter's expression, the Grand Princess knew what was going on.

"Okay, okay, I understand, I won't ask anymore."

Jiang Shuwan asked with concern, "Grandmother, how are you? Have you taken your medicine on time?"

"I'm perfectly fine, you don't need to worry about me."

"Let Granny Zhou stay by your side; that way, I'll feel at ease."

The Grand Princess laughed and said, "Alright, I'll do as you say. Now you're the mistress of the house."

Jiang Shuwan said coquettishly, "Grandma is teasing me too."

The Grand Princess chuckled a few times and said, "I heard from Liu Hua that your mother-in-law is easy to get along with, and you get along very well with her?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Yes, my mother-in-law is a very nice person, and we get along very well."

The Grand Princess said, "That's good. After Huai'an leaves, you won't be lonely with your mother-in-law by your side."

"My mother-in-law doesn't plan to stay in the capital for long."

The Grand Princess asked in surprise, "Why?"

She said she still prefers life in the countryside.

Later, the Grand Princess came to understand that people still prefer to live in familiar environments.

"Then come to the Grand Princess's residence if you feel lonely all the time."

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I would have done it even if you hadn't told me."

The Grand Princess noticed that her daughter seemed much more cheerful during her recent homecoming and felt that her granddaughter's marriage was a good match.

In order not to disturb the Grand Princess's afternoon nap, Jiang Shuwan did not chat for long.

After leaving her grandmother's room, Jiang Shuwan took Xie Huai'an back to her unmarried courtyard.

Xie Huai'an looked at the decorations in the room; every part was meticulously decorated, showing how much the Grand Princess adored her granddaughter.

"Have you been drinking? Go lie down in bed for a while, I'll have someone make some hangover soup."

Hearing Jiang Shuwan's words warmed Xie Huai'an's heart.

"I only drank a little, it's nothing."

Jiang Shuwan knew he was a sensible person, so she didn't insist.

After the Grand Princess finished her afternoon nap, Jiang Shuwan stayed for a while before leaving with Xie Huai'an in a carriage.

Seeing that Jiang Shuwan was in low spirits, Xie Huai'an said, "You can visit the Grand Princess's residence to keep your grandmother company more often in the future."

Jiang Shuwan nodded; he was right.

The carriage stopped in front of the pastry shop that Jiang Shuwan liked.

"Wait here for me for a while."

After Xie Huai'an finished speaking, he got off the carriage.

He came in quickly with some snacks.

Xie Huai'an handed it to her.

Jiang Shuwan asked in surprise, "How did you know I like this pastry?"

Xie Huai'an smiled and said, "I have a brilliant plan."

Jiang Shuwan was taken aback when she saw his smiling face, then said, "You look quite handsome when you smile."

Xie Huai'an immediately replied, "Then I'll smile more often in front of you from now on."

Jiang Shuwan lowered her head to look at the pastries in her hands, her cheeks slightly flushed.

**

Today is also Lin Ruoqing's homecoming day. Compared to Jiang Shuwan's grand homecoming, hers is much more meager. Her homecoming gifts were all prepared by He Zhilin, and they are far inferior to Jiang Shuwan's.

The Lin family was overjoyed when their daughter and son-in-law arrived. Everyone in the Lin family fawned over He Zhilin, which made He Zhilin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It must be said that today made He Zhilin realize the gap between social classes.

Lin's mother called Lin Ruoqing into her room for a private talk. Lin Ruoqing couldn't keep up the act anymore and burst into tears. Only then did Lin's mother realize that her daughter was not doing well, but she was powerless to help. She could only comfort her daughter verbally.

Regardless, Lin Ruoqing was still very happy to return to her parents' home.
