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

"Send a few servants to look for them, and you go too."

Jiang Shuwan looked worried.

"Yes."

After saying that, Fei Yue left.

Feiyue didn't return until noon. When Jiang Shuwan saw that Feiyue looked sad, she had a bad feeling.

"Has Fei Yun been found?"

Feiyue nodded.

"What about her?"

Jiang Shuwan did not see Feiyun.

“My cousin Yuan has sacrificed his life, and Feiyun is keeping vigil at the Yuan family home.”

Jiang Shuwan hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Yesterday, Feiyun went to the Yuan family in high spirits. Before she even arrived, she saw a white cloth hanging at the door. Thinking of a possibility, she quickly went inside.

She didn't see her beloved cousin, but only his ashes.

The Yuan family only had one mother. She recognized Feiyun and knew that she was her son's sweetheart, but now her son was gone. When she saw Feiyun, Yuan's mother hugged Feiyun and cried bitterly.

When Yuan's cousin's comrade-in-arms realized that Feiyun was the girl his friend had been thinking about, he took out a silver hairpin from his pocket.

"This is what Yuan Shan held tightly before he died. He said before he passed away that there was a beautiful girl in the capital waiting for him, but unfortunately he was not fortunate enough to marry her. This is his dowry for his sister, hoping that she can find a good man to marry in the future."

Feiyun was already in tears. She reached out and took the hairpin. The simple silver hairpin was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. He had engraved it because Feiyun's name contained the character "Yun".

Silly Shan, now that you're gone, who else can I marry?

Then Feiyun knelt down before Yuan's mother and proposed to marry Yuan Shan, which shocked everyone in the room.

"I will marry no one but Yuan Shan in this life, please grant my request, Mother."

Mother Yuan helped her up, saying, "Good child, get up quickly. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid A-Shan will blame me. You're such a good person, you can't let him ruin your life."

The crimson clouds refused to rise.

“I will marry no one but him, please ask Mother to arrange the marriage.”

After Feiyun finished speaking, she kowtowed.

Yuan's mother was moved by her.

"Very well, from now on you will be the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family."

Feiyun and Yuan Shan entered into a posthumous marriage.

Jiang Shuwan did not stop them after learning about this; she only felt regret.

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an even made a personal trip to the Yuan family.

Not only because of Fei Yun, but also because Yuan Shan sacrificed his life for the country and deserves respect.

As Jiang Shuwan left the Yuan family home, she was filled with emotion. She had come to Yuan Shan's home today, but there were countless people like Yuan Shan in Daqing who had given their lives for the country and deserved the same respect.

Jiang Shuwan specially gave Feiyun a few months' leave so that she could rest and recuperate properly.

A month later, Emperor Mingde suddenly fell ill, and Jiang Shuwan rushed to the palace upon learning of this.

The Crown Prince knelt before the bed, while Emperor Mingde held the Empress's hand.

"The Empress will remain; all of you may leave."

Emperor Mingde still wanted to talk to the Empress.

"I'm sorry for you in this life, Shaohua. Let's be husband and wife again in the next life, shall we?"

Emperor Mingde's voice was very weak.

The empress lowered her eyes and did not answer him.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Mingde raised his voice considerably, "What, you're unwilling?"

"Your Majesty, we have treated each other with the utmost respect our whole lives. I think it would be better if we never met again in the next life."

Wouldn't it be better if we just let each other go?

"you……"

Emperor Mingde was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He hadn't expected her to say that.

He raised his finger and pointed at the Empress, "Why...why..."

Before Emperor Mingde could finish speaking, his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes closed.

At this moment, the Empress felt a sense of relief she had never experienced before.

In fact, when she heard the news of Zheng Qingshan's death, she wanted to leave this world with him, but she still had her daughter, and she was unwilling to leave without seeing her daughter.

After tidying up the Emperor, the Empress slowly walked out of the palace.

"The Emperor has passed away..."

Those who were guarding outside all knelt down, and the Crown Prince and others wept.

Jiang Shuwan also shed a few tears.

The Empress also wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Li Huan ascended the throne smoothly, unlike Emperor Mingde, when someone stood up to obstruct him and the palace was constantly busy.

夜晚

Two figures entered the general's mansion through the back door.

The two men lowered the hoods from their black cloaks.

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her.

"Sister Wan."

Li Shu snuggled into Jiang Shuwan's arms.

Jiang Shuwan hugged her tightly.

The last time they parted was six years ago, when they both thought they would never see each other again. After all that has happened over the years, they finally met again.

When the sisters reunite, they always have so much to say to each other.

The two snuggled together and slept from nightfall until dawn.

The next day, Xie Mingyu woke up and went to Jiang Shuwan's room to find her mother as usual.

Li Shu had changed into new clothes, and they planned to go to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress later.

"This must be Xiaoyu'er, she's so cute." Li Shu recognized her as Jiang Shuwan's daughter at a glance.

"Yu'er, come quickly and pay your respects to your aunt."

Although Xie Mingyu did not recognize Li Shu, she obediently bowed and greeted her.

Hello, Auntie.

Li Shu helped her up, saying, "Okay, okay."

Where are my mother and father?

Xie Mingyu did not see Xie Huai'an.

"Father is in the front yard. We're going to the palace in a bit. You need to stay home and behave, okay?"

"understood."

Nods obediently.

Li Shu was absolutely delighted with it.

After the two finished breakfast, she took Li Shu into the palace.

Li Shu kept her head down and didn't recognize her.

Princess Yong'an, the female ruler of Northern Qi, had died suddenly in the Northern Qi palace more than a year ago. No one could have imagined that she was now in the palace of Daqing.

The Empress recognized her daughter at a glance.

After dismissing the palace servants, the mother and daughter embraced each other.

"Mother..."

"Shu'er, my Shu'er..."

The Empress looked her up and down. “You’ve lost weight and gotten darker. My son has suffered.”

Li Shu shook her head, "It wasn't bitter. Along the way, I saw many people and many things, and I grew a lot."

Li Shu has undergone a great change, both inside and out, which the Empress has noticed. Her eyes are filled with heartache. If she could, she would be willing to suffer in her daughter's place. She only wishes that her daughter could be that carefree little princess.

"I heard that my father has passed away."

Li Shu rushed as fast as she could, but she was still a step too late.

The Empress nodded slightly.

After the mother and daughter finally reunited, Li Shu stayed in the palace, while Jiang Shuwan left with Feiyue and the others.

Li Shu told the Empress about the things she had encountered over the years, including the story of the Duke of Zheng and his nephew.

When the Empress heard Zheng Qingshan's name, her body stiffened instinctively.

Qi Shaohua has been fair to everyone in this life, except for him. She only hopes that she can make it up to him in the next life.

Therefore, when Emperor Mingde promised to come back to life, the empress did not respond.

Jiang Shuwan felt unwell after returning to the general's mansion, so she sent someone to fetch the mansion's physician.

When Xie Huai'an returned to the manor, he saw the manor physician coming out of Jiang Shuwan's courtyard, and he quickly walked inside.

"I see Dr. Chen has arrived. Are you feeling unwell?"

He saw that Jiang Shuwan looked somewhat bewildered.

Feiyue behind him had a happy expression on her face.
