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

Then he realized that Jiang Shuwan must have something important to say to him since she had suddenly asked him to come, so he quickly asked, "Cousin... Princess, is there something you need to discuss with me today?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Yes, something is indeed wrong."

"what's up?"

Gu Shuchen thought it was something important.

"About you and Jiang Shurou."

Gu Shuchen frowned upon hearing Jiang Shurou's name.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shuchen asked, "Did she come to see you?"

Although it was a question, Gu Shuchen knew that Jiang Shurou must have gone to find Jiang Shuwan, otherwise she wouldn't have come.

"As long as Lord Gu knows what's going on, no matter what, she's carrying your child now. You are guilty, but the child is innocent."

Gu Shu's face turned ugly when he mentioned the word "blood and flesh." Jiang Shuwan certainly didn't know how Jiang Shurou's child came to be, so he was even more ashamed to mention it.

"Princess, rest assured, she will never bother you again."

Jiang Shuwan nodded in satisfaction, "That's good."

They had no prior relationship, and after finishing her story, Jiang Shuwan took her leave.

Gu Shuchen watched her leave as she walked away.

He went back to the Gu residence after leaving the restaurant.

Jiang Shurou looked conflicted inside the room, unsure whether talking to Gu Shuchen would be of any use.

Gu Shuchen arrived with a gloomy face.

"cousin……"

Jiang Shurou was a little scared.

Gu Shuchen questioned her, "Why did you go to the General's Mansion to find Shu Wan!"

"Don't you know why? If you were good to me, would I go to her?"

Jiang Shurou was filled with grievances.

"Does going to her really help? If you hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics, would I be giving you the cold shoulder like this?!"

Gu Shuchen didn't know why she had the nerve to go to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shurou blushed and said, "I'm despicable! Aren't you despicable too! You're eyeing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Shuchen raised his hand and smashed a teacup on the ground.

Jiang Shurou was startled, then she realized what she meant and said, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare, otherwise if you treat me badly, I'll go after her!"

How could you be so shameless!

Gu Shuchen looked at her in disbelief, unable to understand how his once understanding cousin had become like this.

"I……"

Just as Jiang Shurou was about to retort, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Cousin, my stomach hurts a little..."

Gu Shuchen no longer believes her; she has used stomach pain as an excuse several times before.

Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Shurou's forehead, and her face turned deathly pale.

Seeing that she wasn't faking it this time, Gu Shuchen quickly went over to help her.

"Someone go and find a doctor!"

After Gu Shuchen called out, the maid at the door hurriedly came in.

"My child, my child..."

Jiang Shurou lay on the bed, screaming in pain.

Gu Shuchen watched her with concern from the side.

Just as Jiang Shuwan said, no matter how bad his relationship with Jiang Shurou was, the child in her belly was innocent. Although he didn't expect her to be born at first, as Jiang Shurou's belly grew bigger day by day, his feelings slowly changed. However, Jiang Shurou was too impatient and didn't notice, so he resorted to the worst option of going to Jiang Shuwan.

The doctor rushed over, took the pulse, and then prescribed acupuncture and medicine.

Gu Shuchen and the doctor were talking outside the door.

"Madam's pregnancy seems unstable. Remember not to make her angry again, and avoid extreme emotions such as sadness or joy, otherwise even Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to help."

Gu Shuchen remembered it all and said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, doctor."

"You're too kind, Lord Gu."

The doctor bowed to him and then left with his medicine box.

Looking at the door, Gu Shuchen sighed and then turned and left.

Jiang Shurou lay on the bed, her face deathly pale.

**

Xie Huai'an returned home as usual tonight, but Jiang Shuwan noticed that he was in a bad mood.

After they finished eating and washing up, when only the two of them were left in the room, Jiang Shuwan finally asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Lu Sui has escaped."

Xie Huai'an suddenly felt somewhat frustrated.

Jiang Shuwan saw through his thoughts and reached out to hold his hand. "It's okay. You'll catch him someday. I've already caught Lu Zhiheng. You're already amazing."

Xie Huai'an looked at her and then pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Shuwan nestled gently in his arms and asked, "How is Lu Zhiheng doing? Did he say anything of value?"

"He's very tight-lipped, and the Emperor has issued an edict forbidding the use of torture, so I'm afraid we won't get anything out of him."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Jiang Shuwan suddenly couldn't understand Emperor Mingde's thoughts.

"His Majesty probably wants to protect Lu Zhiheng."

Xie Huai'an shared his conjecture.

"Does getting old really give people a sense of compassion?"

Xie Huai'an has not yet discerned Emperor Mingde's intentions.

Jiang Shuwan chatted with Xie Huai'an for a while, and Xie Huai'an felt much better.

The next day, Jiang Shuwan went out of the mansion to visit her grandmother.

She hadn't been there for half a month; she had been sending Feiyue to deliver messages.

Before she even entered the room, she heard the Grand Princess coughing, and Jiang Shuwan quickened her pace.

"Greetings, Grandmother."

After Jiang Shuwan finished her greetings, she went up to help the elderly woman.

The Grand Princess was somewhat surprised to see her. "Wan'er, what brings you here?" she asked. Then she looked towards the door and saw that she was alone.

"Xiaoyu'er didn't come with you."

No, I came alone today.

"It's good that you didn't come. I caught a cold these past two days, so I don't want to pass it on to the child." The Grand Princess coughed again after saying that.

Jiang Shuwan looked at her with concern, "How did you catch a cold all of a sudden?"

The Grand Princess looked at her with affection, "Everyone gets sick sometimes."

For some reason, Jiang Shuwan's nose felt a little sore. "Grandmother..."

Seeing her granddaughter like this, the princess asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did Huai'an bully you?"

Jiang Shuwan said in a muffled voice, "No, he would never bully me. I'm always the one who bullies him."

The eldest princess couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "So it's because you haven't seen your grandmother for more than ten days and you miss her."

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

The Grand Princess pulled her into her arms, saying, "I miss Wan'er too."

After a tender moment between the grandmother and granddaughter, Jiang Shuwan finally composed herself.

"Speak, what brings you to see your grandmother?"

The Grand Princess could sense that Jiang Shuwan was preoccupied with something.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Jiang Shuwan, she had no choice but to speak up, "I wonder if Grandmother has heard any rumors lately?"

Jiang Shuwan didn't know how much her grandmother knew, so she asked tentatively.

The Grand Princess calmly asked, "Are you referring to the Second Prince and the matters concerning the Duke of Ying's residence?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

The Grand Princess analyzed, "The Second Prince brought this upon himself, so you shouldn't be troubled by it. That's a matter for the Duke of Ying's mansion."

The Duke of Ying's mansion was raided a few days ago. Such a big commotion could not be kept secret. Not only the Grand Princess, but everyone in the capital knew about it. However, they did not know what the Duke of Ying had done wrong.

The Duke of England has fled, and the whereabouts of the Duchess of England and Li Ning remain unknown.
