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

"Let me see you..."

Before Xie Huai'an could finish speaking, Jiang Shuwan reached out and covered his mouth.

"I'm fine. You still have to be on duty, so don't be late," Jiang Shuwan said, her ears turning slightly red.

"You're not angry, are you?"

Xie Huai'an was mainly afraid that Jiang Shuwan would be angry with him and wouldn't let him go to the room to sleep.

Jiang Shuwan glared at him, but her damage output was far from enough.

"You're not allowed to be so reckless anymore. You have no idea I didn't get up until almost noon. It's not good for the servants to see that."

Seeing that she didn't tell him not to go back to his room to sleep, Xie Huai'an felt relieved.

"it is good."

After lingering for a while, Xie Huai'an finally left.

Jiang Shuwan took another nap before going out with Xie Youwei.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a majestic academy.

Songyang Academy is one of the best academies in the capital. Those who can study here are all from prominent families, and of course, the teachers here are among the best in the capital.

Feiyue went to report first.

Upon learning that the visitors were Princess Yongning, the servants led them into the academy.

This was Xie Youwei's first time visiting such a large academy. The academy was very solemn, and the students were all wearing uniforms.

The servant led them to the headmaster's room.

Han Shanzhang had met Jiang Shuwan before, and said, "Greetings, Princess Yongning."

"Professor Han, there's no need for such formalities. My younger brother has been studying at the academy for a while now, and I've come today to ask how he's doing and whether he's causing you any trouble."

This Han Shanzhang held a certain position in the hearts of Daqing literati, and Jiang Shuwan respected him greatly.

When Xie Huaiyu was mentioned, Han Shanzhang's face lit up with a satisfied smile. "Young Master Xie is very talented. I am very pleased with him. He will surely pass the imperial examination with flying colors sooner or later."

When Jiang Shuwan first approached Headmaster Han, he was reluctant to accept Xie Huaiyu. However, out of consideration for Jiang Shuwan, he couldn't refuse directly. Instead, he gave Xie Huaiyu a test. After seeing Xie Huaiyu's answer sheet, Headmaster Han finally allowed Xie Huaiyu to enter Songyang Academy.

Jiang Shuwan humbly replied, "Han Shanzhang is too kind."

Xie Youwei listened with great pride, as her younger brother's greatest hobby was reading.

Han Shanzhang asked, "Should we send someone to call him over?"

Good students will naturally receive preferential treatment.

"No need. He doesn't know I'm here today. I just want to take a quick look and leave without disturbing his studies."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Headmaster Han was very satisfied with Xie Huaiyu as a student.

It's recess time now, and the children are playing outside.

Han Shanzhang took her outside the room where Xie Huaiyu was having class. Through the window, they could see Xie Huaiyu looking down at his book.

While everyone else was playing, Xie Huaiyu was reading a book. When Han Shanzhang saw this, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Young Master Xie is not only talented but also hardworking."

Jiang Shuwan felt relieved to see him. Just as they were about to leave, a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old stepped on Xie Huaiyu's table with a provocative look on his face.

Xie Huaiyu only frowned slightly, showing no other expression.

Jiang Shuwan frowned upon seeing this.

Han Shanzhang also saw it, but before he could speak, another voice beat him to it.

"what are you doing!"

Xie Youwei's voice drew everyone's attention.

Xie Youwei then realized that she had acted impulsively, and she moved closer to Jiang Shuwan out of fear.

Jiang Shuwan gave her a reassuring look.

Xie Youwei finally calmed down and wasn't so scared anymore.

Xie Huaiyu was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Shuwan and the others.

Han Shanzhang shouted angrily, "Yan Jingxuan, come here right now!"

The boy, who had been standing on Xie Huaiyu's table, walked toward Han Shanzhang unwillingly.

"Huaiyu, you come too."

Han Shanzhang spoke to Xie Huaiyu much more gently.

They returned to Han Shanzhang's house.

Han Shanzhang was furious. The scene just now was clearly Yan Jingxuan trying to bully Xie Huaiyu, and Jiang Shuwan just happened to see it.

"Yan Jingxuan, what were you doing just now?!"

Yan Jingxuan, with a nonchalant air, said, "I didn't do anything!"

Han Shanzhang was so angry that he glared at him and said, "Nonsense! You're clearly trying to bully Xie Huaiyu!"

Yan Jingxuan said fearlessly, "Since you put it that way, then so be it."

Headmaster Han was so angry that his chest heaved. It was truly a sin that he had taken in such a unruly student.

Jiang Shuwan, “Yan Jingxuan, the second young master of the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion.”

Yan Jingxuan looked at Jiang Shuwan. He had seen Jiang Shuwan when he was a child, but hadn't seen her since, so he didn't recognize her.

"It's my young master."

Jiang Shuwan said to Han Shanzhang, "Han Shanzhang, please don't be angry. Don't get upset. I'm familiar with this young man's family. We can settle this privately."

"That's very good."

On one side is Jiang Shuwan, and on the other is the Xuanping Marquis's mansion. Han Shanzhang doesn't want to offend either side.

Yan Jingxuan sensed a hint of danger and asked, "Who are you?"

Jiang Shuwan said leisurely, "I am Jiang Shuwan, Xie Huaiyu's sister-in-law."

The name Jiang Shuwan is quite famous in the capital. Yan Jingxuan's expression darkened upon hearing the name Jiang Shuwan.

Yan Jingxuan immediately changed his expression, "So it's Sister Shu Wan."

Jiang Shuwan said with a forced smile, "Young Master Yan, it's best not to make unfounded claims of kinship."

Yan Jingxuan said ingratiatingly, "What are you saying, elder sister?"

How could he not try to please her? The Grand Princess and his grandmother were on good terms. Jiang Shuwan just said to settle it privately, which meant she was going to complain to his grandmother. It wouldn't matter if his grandmother knew, but if his father found out that he was bullying his classmates at the academy, his backside would be in big trouble!

Han Shanzhang hadn't expected him to be so afraid of Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan became serious. "Why did you step on Huaiyu's table? And did you do the bruise on his head?"

"I just wanted to scare him a little; he hurt himself on his forehead..."

Yan Jingxuan recounted the entire incident, from its beginning to its conclusion.

Yan Jingxuan said weakly, "I won't bully Xie Huaiyu anymore."

Jiang Shuwan believed what Yan Jingxuan said; she still trusted the family education of the Marquis of Xuanping.

"Although you didn't inflict the injury, it was caused by you, so you should apologize to Huaiyu."

Yan Jingxuan apologized, "I'm sorry, Xie Huaiyu, I won't do it again."

Jiang Shuwan looked at Xie Huaiyu beside her, "Huaiyu, will you forgive him or not?"

Xie Huaiyu nodded first, then said seriously with a stern face, "I'll say it again, I didn't tell on you behind your back."

Yan Jingxuan couldn't help but glance at him again when he heard him say that.

After the matter was resolved, Headmaster Han let the two of them go back to their rooms to study.

Jiang Shuwan exchanged a few pleasantries with Han Shanzhang before leaving the academy.

"Is Yan Jingxuan Xinyi's brother, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Yes, the Yan family has three children in total. This is the second son, Yan Jingxuan, and the youngest is Xinyi."

Xie Youwei muttered softly, "How can Xinyi, who is so good, have such a brother?"

Jiang Shuwan laughed and said, "Yan Jingxuan is a bit unruly, but he is a good person. Since he said he wouldn't bully Huaiyu, he definitely won't cause trouble for Huaiyu again in the future."
