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

Xie Youwei nodded. She trusted Jiang Shuwan completely now and believed everything Jiang Shuwan said.

Songyang Academy

After class, Yan Jingxuan went to Xie Huaiyu's class to find Xie Huaiyu.

"Xie Huaiyu, why didn't you say earlier that you were General Xie's younger brother?"

Many people heard what Yan Jingxuan said and were quite surprised when they found out.

"He is General Xie's younger brother!"

Half a year ago, no one in the capital paid any attention to Xie Huai'an, and no one even knew who he was. But after he married Princess Yongning and eliminated the rebel Xue, his reputation suddenly soared.

Who is Xie Huai'an? He is a favorite of the current emperor.

Xie Huaiyu was a low-key person who usually buried himself in his studies and never interacted with others. These young masters from wealthy families assumed that he was someone's distant relative who had placed him in the family.

Xie Huaiyu retorted, "Does it matter to you who my brother is?"

Yan Jingxuan shook his head, "It's not important."

Xie Huaiyu said with a straight face, "If that's the case, why should I go around telling everyone who my brother is?"

Yan Jingxuan, “…” What he said seemed to make a lot of sense.

After this incident, everyone in the academy knew about Xie Huaiyu, and no one dared to mock him anymore.

Xie Huaiyu, on the other hand, studied as diligently and earnestly as before.

Before anyone else could tell, Yan Jingxuan let it slip to his parents that he had bullied Xie Huaiyu.

When Marquis Xuanping found out, Yan Jingxuan was also severely punished. Of course, Jiang Shuwan only found out when she attended Marquis Xuanping's banquet.

That evening, Jiang Shuwan told Xie Huai'an everything that had happened at the academy that day.

After listening, Xie Huai'an only said meaningfully, "The second son of the Marquis of Xuanping."

"That child was also instigated by others; he's a bit impulsive." After saying that, she asked worriedly, "The entire Xuanping Marquis family is loyal and righteous; you won't go and beat that child, will you?"

Xie Huai'an chuckled, "What are you thinking about all day? Do you think I'm the kind of person who holds grudges?"

Jiang Shuwan didn't say anything, but in her heart she felt that Xie Huai'an was quite vengeful.

Xie Huai'an felt that his image in her eyes was worrying when she didn't speak.

Jiang Shuwan quickly said, "I believe you, okay?"

Xie Huai'an said in a low voice, "Yes, it's a bit late."

Jiang Shuwan pouted and said coquettishly, "How is it late? It's late, so what? Are you going to punish me?"

However, Jiang Shuwan saw a familiar look in his eyes.

Jiang Shuwan blushed and said, "No, this shouldn't be done in excess; it's bad for your health."

"Don't you know whether I'm healthy or not?" Xie Huai'an said, then leaned closer.

"Xie Huai'an, you promised me you wouldn't be too reckless!"

"Yeah, I definitely won't ask for that many times tonight."

You can't blame Xie Huai'an. They've been married for almost half a year, and they've only shared a room with each other a handful of times.

Xie Huai'an was still mindful of Jiang Shuwan, so he didn't go too far, but Jiang Shuwan was already asleep from exhaustion.

The next day, when Jiang Shuwan opened her eyes, the person beside her was gone. It was still early, and Xie Huai'an was practicing boxing in the courtyard.

After Jiang Shuwan finished dressing, she went out. Xie Huai'an saw her and walked towards her.

It's already autumn, and the weather is getting cooler in the mornings and evenings, but Xie Huai'an's clothes are thin and a little damp.

Jiang Shuwan said with concern, "Go and wash up and change into dry clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Xie Huai'an was very happy to know that she cared about him.

"it is good."

When Jiang Shuwan arrived at the main hall, Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu were already there.

"Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law."

Xie Youwei and Xie Huai'an stood up and bowed to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan looked at the changes that had taken place between the two of them when they first arrived at the General's Mansion and now, and felt inexplicably happy.

When Xie Huai'an arrived, he saw Jiang Shuwan with a smile on her face and her eyes full of kindness as she looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law.

"The general has arrived, so let's all have a meal."

The maids had already set out the food, and Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu only started eating after Xie Huai'an and Jiang Shuwan had started.

After Xie Huai'an finished breakfast, he went to his duty. Xie Huaiyu took a carriage to the academy, leaving only Jiang Shuwan and Xie Youwei at home.

"Youwei, you've learned the rules pretty well. From today onwards, you'll learn to be a housekeeper from me."

Xie Youwei looked at Jiang Shuwan in surprise, "Sister-in-law, do I have to learn how to manage a household?"

Jiang Shuwan said softly, "Of course you have to learn. If you don't learn now, how will you manage the household after you marry into your husband's family?"

When the topic of marriage came up, Xie Youwei became a little shy, saying, "I'm still young, sister-in-law."

Jiang Shuwan's eyes were full of smiles. "I know, that's why I didn't let you get married. You can learn from me how to manage a household first."

Xie Youwei nodded obediently, "Yes."

Jiang Shuwan added, "However, you can't neglect things like brewing tea, making incense, and arranging flowers. You also need to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Xie Youwei's face fell immediately upon hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, can I not learn these things? They're too difficult."

"I don't expect you to be an expert in every single one of these subjects, but you must have a basic understanding so that you won't be completely clueless when you go out to a banquet."

Jiang Shuwan knew that Xie Youwei had started learning these things late and had a weak foundation, so she didn't expect her to be proficient, but she couldn't be completely ignorant.

Xie Youwei nodded, "Yes, Youwei understands." She knew that her sister-in-law was doing this for her own good.

Jiang Shuwan looked at her with satisfaction. Xie Youwei's words and actions were inappropriate before because of Sun Ruyi's instigation, but now she has gradually corrected herself.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Jiang Shuwan not only bought herself some new clothes but also bought some for Xie Huai'an and the others, especially for Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu, who are currently in the process of growing taller.

While Xie Youwei was at home, Jiang Shuwan asked the embroiderer to take her measurements first.

Besides the masters getting new clothes, the servants also got new clothes. Xie Youwei watched as Jiang Shuwan checked the accounts and handled the affairs of the mansion. Soon it was noon.

Xie Youwei finally understood why her mother always said her sister-in-law had worked so hard. She really had worked hard, especially when it came to those account books, which she herself couldn't understand.

Jiang Shuwan stretched her neck and felt a little hungry. Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "Since it's just the two of us at home today, why don't we go out to eat?"

Xie Youwei's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Of course."

Xie Youwei was very happy.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Shuwan left the mansion with Xie Youwei.

Jiang Shuwan went to her usual restaurant, which was famous in Beijing for its delicious food, but also for its exorbitant prices.

Xie Youwei has eaten here before, and every dish here is delicious.

Seeing the happy look on her face as she ate, Jiang Shuwan felt even better.

With no outsiders around, Fei Yue and Fei Yun sat down to eat as well.

After dinner, Jiang Shuwan took Xie Youwei to a jewelry store because she was so well-behaved.

“Sister-in-law, I have jewelry.”

Xie Youwei knew she couldn't let her sister-in-law spend money.

“I know, I made you a few new outfits. New clothes should be paired with new jewelry.”

Upon arriving at the jewelry store, the shopkeeper saw Jiang Shuwan and immediately invited them to a private room on the second floor.

Jiang Shuwan told the shopkeeper what she wanted, and a moment later the shopkeeper arrived with a large pile of jewelry.
