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

"Thank you, Madam."

Lin Ruoqing wasn't in a good state, but she mustered her spirits after seeing Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan responded calmly, "Mrs. He."

Hearing Jiang Shuwan call her Madam He made Lin Ruoqing feel much better.

Li Shu had seen her before, but Lin Ruoqing did not know that she was a princess.

Lin Ruoqing: "Madam Xie is here to listen to the story too?"

Jiang Shuwan thought she would just meet her briefly, say hello, and leave, but she didn't expect her to stand here and chat with her.

"Um, I have something to attend to, please excuse me."

Jiang Shuwan didn't want to exchange pleasantries with her.

Then Jiang Shuwan and Li Shu left together.

Lin Ruoqing's face was rather unpleasant. In the past, they looked down on her because she was the daughter of a minor official. Now that she was the young mistress of the Earl's mansion, the future Earl Jiang Shuwan still looked down on her. And it wasn't just Jiang Shuwan; everyone else did too.

With He Zhilin being so outstanding, as the eldest son, he will naturally inherit the Earl's Mansion, and the Huian Earl's Mansion will only get better and better in the future.

Jiang Shuwan and Li Shu parted ways after leaving the teahouse.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Jiang Shuwan has not left the mansion.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Shuwan noticed that Pei missed her children but was too embarrassed to bring up leaving. So she took the initiative to suggest that Pei decide to leave and return to her hometown the day after tomorrow.

The clothes that had been made for the Xie family were all finished. In addition to clothing, Jiang Shuwan also prepared other gifts. Madam Pei felt that she had prepared too much, but Jiang Shuwan felt it was alright.

When Pei returned to her hometown, Jiang Shuwan planned to send a team of guards to escort her. These guards were sent by the Grand Princess as part of her dowry, and they were all quite skilled.

After her lunch break, Jiang Shuwan realized she hadn't seen the Grand Princess in a long time, so she had a carriage prepared to go to the Grand Princess's residence. Before going, she made a detour to the Grand Princess's favorite pastry shop to buy some snacks.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Feiyue asked, "What happened?"

The coachman said, "It seems that the carriages of the Duke of Xue's mansion are blocking the road ahead, preventing us from proceeding."

This road is the only way to the pastry shop.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan from the Xue State Duke's Mansion frowned slightly.

The Xue family is now at the height of its power, and no one dares to offend them. The Duke of Xue commands a large army and guards the border. His sister is the current emperor's concubine, and they have a lot of influence in the court and the harem.

The Xue family was full of honor, but then came a young master who was only so-so in the six arts of a gentleman, but was extremely skilled in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring.

Feiyue said to Jiang Shuwan, "This servant will go down and see what happened."

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

After getting out of the carriage, Fei Yue went to the front to check, and soon returned to the carriage.

Feiyue reported, "Young Master Xue is arguing with a young lady."

What dispute? It's clearly a case of forcibly taking a woman!

Jiang Shuwan instructed, "Drive there."

"Yes."

The coachman drove the carriage straight into the crowd.

The coachman shouted, "Make way! Everyone make way!"

Prince Xue was having a great time when he was disturbed, which annoyed him.

Prince Xue said impatiently, "Who is it? How can someone be so clueless!"

Jiang Shuwan sat in the carriage and said coldly, "Who do we have here? It's Prince Xue."

Prince Xue may not remember other people's voices, but he will never forget Jiang Shuwan's voice in his entire life.

"It's Princess Yongning."

A girl surrounded by four or five people shouted after hearing Xue Shizi's words, "Princess, save me!"

Prince Xue gave one of his men a look, signaling him to restrain the girl who was calling for help.

Jiang Shuwan, "Who's shouting?"

"Nobody's here. You're just trying to get past, aren't you?" After saying that, Prince Xue ordered his men, "Why haven't you moved the carriage away yet to make way for the princess!"

Prince Xue knew Jiang Shuwan's character and didn't want to offend her, so he just wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing the young master Xue's attitude toward the princess in the carriage, the girl continued to cry out, "Princess, help! This man is abducting a woman in broad daylight!"

Prince Xue retorted, "I didn't! I was just joking with you, don't talk nonsense!"

The girl shouted, "So many people are watching! Let them say what they're saying!"

Prince Xue glanced at the onlookers, all of whom were commoners and none of whom could afford to offend him. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"The patrolling soldiers will be here soon. I don't think Prince Xue wants to make a big fuss."

Prince Xue's expression darkened upon hearing this. "So you want to get involved in this matter?"

Jiang Shuwan didn't answer but asked instead, "What do you think would happen if Duke Xue found out about this?"

Prince Xue took a deep breath and then said to the girl, "Alright, for the sake of Princess Yongning, I will let it go since you bumped into my carriage today."

"Shu Wan, there's plenty of time in the future. Let's meet again another day."

After saying this, Prince Xue left with his men.

Those who had come to watch the spectacle dispersed.

Seeing that Prince Xue and his entourage had left, the young woman pulled the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl beside her to Jiang Shuwan's carriage and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Princess."

Jiang Shuwan reminded her, "You need to be careful, that person is vengeful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. My family came to the capital to stay with relatives, but I didn't expect that my sister and I would get separated from them as soon as we arrived. I would like to ask Your Highness where General Xie Huai'an's residence is?"

Jiang Shuwan lifted the carriage curtain and finally saw what the girl she was talking to looked like.

The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. Although she was dressed in simple clothes, she was very pretty.

The girl with her looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, not yet fully grown, but her eyes were very expressive, and she might surpass the girl beside her in appearance in the future.

Jiang Shuwan asked, "What is your relationship with General Xie?"

The girl explained, "I am his sworn sister. Something happened to my family, so I came to rely on him."

Jiang Shuwan said, "It's on my way, let me give you a ride."

The girl said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess."

Feiyue helped the two into the carriage, which was originally spacious but became quite crowded.

The carriage was exquisitely crafted, and the two young ladies dared not move once they were inside.

Jiang Shuwan noticed their nervousness and asked, "What's your name?"

The older girl said, "My name is Sun Ruyi, and my younger sister's name is Youwei."

Jiang Shuwan felt more confident after hearing this.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Sun Ruyi was stunned when she saw the magnificent general's mansion. Is this Xie Huai'an's home? How grand!

The gatekeeper bowed and greeted the mistress when she returned.

Sun Ruyi and Xie Youwei didn't understand for a moment why the gatekeeper was calling Jiang Shuwan "Madam".

"Send someone to inform the Grand Madam to go to the front hall."

Upon receiving the instruction, the person jogged off to report it.

Jiang Shuwan led them to the front hall.

Madam Pei didn't know why her daughter-in-law had called her over, but she was overjoyed at the thought of returning to her hometown. As soon as she entered the front hall, she saw a familiar figure.

"Youwei!"

Xie Youwei saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and ran crying into her arms, "Mother!"

Feiyue was shocked; she hadn't expected this person to be her master's sister-in-law! No wonder her master had asked someone to get on the carriage.

Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! May the moon be full, people be reunited, and everything go smoothly.
