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

The Duchess of Dingguo's status was there for all to see, so a few words were enough to clear things up. But Madam He's family had no noble title and her official rank was low, so she was almost in tears.

Jiang Shuwan had not forgotten how Madam He the Second had made things difficult for her in her previous life because she was her elder, and how this He Ruyun was so vicious despite her young age.

After leaving the He family mother and daughter waiting for a long time and giving them a verbal reprimand, they finally gave up.

Later, the Duchess of Dingguo and the Second Lady He left the Xuanping Marquis's residence one after another.

The room was filled with married women, so Yan Xinyi brought Xie Youwei out.

"Youwei, your sister-in-law is so good to you." After saying that, Yan Xinyi said enviously, "I wish my future sister-in-law would be this good to me too."

"Isn't your older brother still unmarried?"

Jiang Shuwan had given Xie Youwei a brief introduction to the situation of the Marquis of Xuanping's residence.

“Yes, this banquet is for him,” Yan Xinyi whispered.

As the two walked side by side, they heard a male voice call out, "Xinyi!"

The two turned around, and Xie Youwei saw a familiar face.

Yan Jingxuan asked with concern, "Are you alright? I heard Gao Muxue gave you trouble!"

Yan Xinyi shook her head. "I'm fine."

Yan Jingxuan's gaze fell on Xie Youwei. He remembered her. "You're that..."

"Second brother, you mustn't be rude."

Yan Xinyi was afraid that her second brother would frighten Xie Youwei.

Yan Jingxuan said nonchalantly, "Oh, I've seen her before. Isn't she Xie Huaiyu's sister?"

Yan Xinyi had no idea that they had met before.

"That day, my sister-in-law and I went to the academy and happened to run into Young Master Yan."

Xie Youwei didn't finish her sentence, but Yan Xinyi already knew what she meant.

Someone happened to see her second brother bullying her younger brother.

Yan Jingxuan scratched his head sheepishly, "My relationship with Xie Huaiyu is really good now."

Yan Xinyi urged, "Second Brother, this is a place for women to stay. You should leave quickly, so that Father won't find out."

"You little ungrateful girl, I came here specifically to check on you after hearing about what happened to you."

After Yan Jingxuan finished speaking, he nodded to Xie Youwei and left.

He knew that men and women were different, but he was still worried about his sister. Seeing that she was alright, he was relieved.

Jiang Shuwan, the other half, accompanied the Grand Princess and Madam Yan to see if there were any unmarried girls who caught their eye.

As it turned out, Old Madam Yan actually saw one. "Who is that girl?"

The maid followed the gaze and said, "That's Miss Han, the daughter of the headmaster of Songyang Academy."

Madam Yan nodded in satisfaction, "I think this Miss Han is quite good."

Jiang Shuwan and the Grand Princess exchanged a glance, knowing that Old Madam Yan had taken a liking to Miss Han.

After giving the Lady of Xuanping a few instructions, Old Madam Yan accompanied the Grand Princess back to her room.

Jiang Shuwan was outside enjoying the breeze when she casually glanced around and spotted Lin Ruoqing.

Although the two women were some distance apart, Jiang Shuwan could see clearly that Lin Ruoqing had lost a lot of weight, and even with a lot of makeup on her face, she couldn't hide her haggard appearance. In contrast, Ye Shi next to her had a rosy complexion.

Jiang Shuwan didn't want to pry into the affairs of the Huian Marquis's mansion, as they were none of her business.

Suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, and Jiang Shuwan turned around.

It was Li Shu.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"Nothing, what brings you here?"

I was still very happy to see my good friend Jiang Shuwan.

Li Shu smiled radiantly and said, "I heard that there was a banquet at the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, so I begged my mother to let me come out. I was just hoping to try my luck and see if I could run into you. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. It seems that we are destined to meet."

Jiang Shuwan took her hand and said, "I've been busy with things at home lately and haven't been able to visit you in the palace."

Li Shu joked, "Of course, you'll be waiting forever."

With Li Shu by her side, Jiang Shuwan's face beamed with smiles.

A sharp-eyed lady admiring the flowers remarked, "I never expected the Marquis of Xuanping's residence to have invited even the princess."

"Yes."

People began to value the Marquis of Xuanping's residence even more.

Lin Ruoqing noticed it too. She noticed not only the princess but also Jiang Shuwan. She was a little dazed. She felt that Jiang Shuwan had become even more beautiful than the last time she saw her. At this moment, she had a smile on her face, and Lin Ruoqing was momentarily dazzled.

Why is it that on the same day they got married, Jiang Shuwan's life is getting better and better, while Lin Ruoqing's life is a mess? Even without anyone reminding her, Lin Ruoqing noticed that her complexion was very bad.

Now, every time she looks in the mirror, she feels anxious. Recently, He Zhilin has been coming to her room less and less often, and Ye Shi is urging her to have a child. How can she have a child by herself?

He Zhilin didn't go to Lin Ruoqing's room because he was very busy; he was either resting at the office or in his study.

Madam Ye urged him to consummate his marriage with Aunt Zhang, but He Zhilin refused and refused to let the matter drag on.

the other side

Jiang Shuwan and Li Shu were sitting and enjoying tea and snacks when a maid accidentally wet Li Shu's dress.

Li Shu's maidservant exclaimed, "How could you be so careless!"

The maid knelt on the ground in terror, "This servant deserves to die, please forgive me, Princess!"

"Never mind, I'll have to be more careful when serving tea in the future."

Li Shu was in a good mood today, and seeing that the maid hadn't done it on purpose, she wasn't angry.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This servant will lead the princess to change her clothes."

Li Shu went to change her clothes with her maid.

Jiang Shuwan waited for her for a long time before she returned, and then Jiang Shuwan noticed that Li Shu seemed a little absent-minded.

"Are you OK?"

Li Shu shook her head, "It's nothing." Then she said, "I've been out for quite a while, so I'm going back to the palace now. I'll visit you at the General's Mansion next time."

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Okay."

After seeing Li Shu off, Jiang Shuwan went to find the Grand Princess.

After staying for a while, the Grand Princess left the Xuanping Marquis's residence under the pretext of feeling tired. Jiang Shuwan returned with Xie Youwei.

The right person was found at today's banquet, and both Madam Yan and Madam Yan were very happy.

on carriage

Xie Youwei shared with Jiang Shuwan the novel things she found today. It was her first time attending a banquet, so she found everything new and interesting, and she kept talking about it the whole way.

Xie Youwei said she was thirsty and realized she might have talked too much.

"Sister-in-law, am I talking too much and annoying you?"

Jiang Shuwan said softly, "No, I found what you said quite interesting."

"Thank you for protecting me today, sister-in-law." Xie Youwei felt she should thank her sister-in-law.

Jiang Shuwan felt that Xie Youwei was becoming more and more sensible and well-behaved, and her smile deepened. "Why thank me? It's only right that I help you. We are family, we share the same fate."

"We all prosper together, we all suffer together?"

This was the first time Xie Youwei had heard this word, and she silently memorized it.

Upon returning to the general's mansion, they each went back to their own courtyards.

After dinner, Xie Youwei went to Xie Huaiyu's room.

Since her mother wasn't around, Xie Youwei wanted to talk to someone. She was afraid of disturbing her older brother and sister-in-law if she went to Mingxiang Garden, so she could only bother her younger brother.
