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

Xie Youwei was very nervous, but after talking to Yan Xinyi for a while, she found that Yan Xinyi was easy to get along with, and gradually she relaxed.

Yan Xinyi, with her innocent and carefree personality, quickly became acquainted with Xie Youwei.

On the other side, Madam Yan suddenly brought up Jiang Shurou.

"I heard that your second daughter is engaged to the top scholar, Lord Gu. Lord Gu became the top scholar at such a young age. I congratulate you on finding another good grandson-in-law."

The Grand Princess smiled and said, "This matter is entirely up to her parents."

"I heard before that Grand Tutor Song's daughter is engaged, and now they're all of marriageable age," Old Madam Yan said with a sigh. "Only my son is so disappointing!"

Jiang Shuwan joked, "Grandmother Yan, if your eldest son is so disappointing, then there are no disappointing sons in the entire capital."

When Madam Yan mentioned her eldest grandson, she both loved and hated him.

Yan Jingrong, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping, is one of the most desirable men for young women in the capital to marry. He is a man of both literary and martial talents, handsome in appearance, and a scholar-general who is currently on duty in the palace protecting the emperor.

The Grand Princess chimed in, "Yes, my Wan'er is right. Are you deliberately showing off in front of us?"

Madam Yan quickly replied, "I didn't mean that. I'm not showing off. I just really want your help."

"Shu Wan, you know many young women. Can you help me think of any families whose daughters are still unmarried? I don't have many requirements, I just hope the girl comes from a respectable family and is an upright person."

Jiang Shuwan thought for a moment but couldn't think of anyone. "I can't remember right now either."

The Grand Princess comforted her, "Don't worry, when fate comes, nothing can stop it."

Madam Yan said, "How can we not be anxious? There are fewer and fewer eligible girls in the capital."

The Grand Princess suggested, "Since you want to find a suitable woman, why not hold a flower-viewing banquet?"

Her words struck a chord with Madam Yan.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. I'll have someone write invitations when I get back, and you'll all be coming then."

"What am I supposed to do at my age?"

The Grand Princess has never attended any banquets other than those held in the palace in recent years.

"You should also take a look."

Since Madam Yan had said so, the Grand Princess also agreed.

Actually, the two of them had originally planned to matchmake Jiang Shuwan and Yan Jingrong, but unfortunately, they didn't have any chemistry, so the Grand Princess and the others gave up.

After staying for more than an hour, Madam Yan left with her granddaughter.

Jiang Shuwan chatted with the Grand Princess for a while before taking Xie Youwei back to the General's Mansion.

"Sister-in-law, can I still play with Xinyi?"

Xie Youwei was very happy today, as Yan Xinyi was the first friend she made in Beijing.

Jiang Shuwan said softly, "Sure, you can send her an invitation if you want to contact her in the future."

Xie Youwei was very happy to hear this, but then she seemed a little embarrassed as she thought of something.

“Sister-in-law, I apologize to you. I misunderstood you before. If you hadn’t sent someone to teach me manners, I would have made a fool of myself at the Grand Princess’s residence today.”

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "To err is human, to forgive divine."

Xie Youwei promised, "I promise I'll be obedient from now on. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."

Jiang Shuwan deliberately asked, "What if I ask you to do something immoral?"

Xie Youwei looked troubled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't just stop me from doing things that are against morality."

Jiang Shuwan was amused by her appearance.

Xie Youwei belatedly realized and said somewhat shyly, "Is my sister-in-law making fun of me on purpose?"

"No, I just thought you were kind of cute just now."

Xie Youwei blushed slightly at what she said.

As they were getting ready for dinner, Jiang Shuwan noticed a bruise on Xie Huaiyu's forehead.

Jiang Shuwan asked with concern, "Huaiyu, what happened to your face?"

Xie Huaiyu said calmly, "It's nothing, I just bumped into something by accident."

Jiang Shuwan looked at Xie Huai'an, but seeing that he didn't speak, she didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Youwei looked at her younger brother and said, "I'll put some medicine on you in a bit."

Xie Huaiyu said, "It's just a bruise, no need to bother."

That evening, after washing up, Jiang Shuwan lay in bed feeling a little worried about Xie Huaiyu. In the end, she decided to go to Xie Huaiyu's academy the next day to check on him, just in case he was being bullied by someone and was afraid to tell his family.

When Xie Huai'an finished washing up, he saw his wife lost in thought, so he took off his shoes and lay down next to her.

Jiang Shuwan then came to her senses.

Xie Huai'an naturally pulled the person into his arms, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Shuwan truthfully replied, "I'm thinking of going to Huaiyu Academy tomorrow."

“I asked him, and he said he bumped into it himself.”

After dinner, Xie Huai'an spoke privately with Xie Huaiyu about the matter on his face.

Jiang Shuwan insisted, "I'll still go to the academy tomorrow. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I'll feel more at ease if I go."

Xie Huai'an could tell that Jiang Shuwan truly treated his family as her own, so he hugged her even tighter.

Jiang Shuwan initially lay in his arms, but later she noticed that his hands were getting restless.

Previously, Xie Huai'an wanted to get close to Jiang Shuwan, but Jiang Shuwan rejected him because he was injured. During this time, Xie Huai'an's wounds have healed, and they have been sleeping together under the covers for more than a month.

After a long time apart, once things started, there was no stopping them.

…………

When Jiang Shuwan opened her eyes again, it was almost noon. Thinking of how flushed her face was last night, and realizing it was getting late, she quickly called Feiyue and Feiyun into the room to tidy up.

Xie Huai'an had already gone to the morning court session. Fortunately, there were no elders at home who needed to be served breakfast, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing for her to get up so late.

Feiyue had specially prepared some porridge, and Jiang Shuwan was eating it when Xie Youwei arrived.

Xie Youwei asked in surprise, "Why did you just have breakfast, sister-in-law?"

"Hmm, are you done with your class?"

Jiang Shuwan changed the subject, afraid that she would ask more questions.

Xie Youwei nodded, "It's over."

Xie Youwei was about to ask Jiang Shuwan if she was feeling unwell, which was why she was having breakfast so late, but seeing that Jiang Shuwan's face was rosy and healthy, she didn't seem to be feeling unwell.

Jiang Shuwan said, "After we finish lunch, let's rest for a bit and then go check out Huaiyu Academy."

Xie Youwei asked in confusion, "What is my sister-in-law going to the academy for?"

"Go and see if he's adapting to the academy environment. Huaiyu is a man of few words, and I'm afraid he might not be used to it but is too embarrassed to say so."

Xie Youwei was even more moved after hearing this; her sister-in-law was so good to her and her brother.

Xie Huai'an returned at lunchtime, and Jiang Shuwan glared at him as soon as she saw him.

Xie Huai'an touched his nose guiltily; he had lost control last night.

Neither of them said a word, but Xie Youwei could still sense that there was something different about them. Why did her older brother look at his sister-in-law with such a guilty look?

Xie Huai'an is now in charge of the Imperial Guard and is responsible for the security of the palace. Originally, he didn't need to go back and forth at noon, but thinking about last night, he decided to come back and see Jiang Shuwan.

After dinner, Xie Huai'an followed Jiang Shuwan back to Mingxiang Garden.

Jiang Shuwan looked at him and asked, "Why are you following me?"
