Jiang Shuwan, lying on her side on the bed, saw Xie Huai'an walking towards her. She suddenly remembered that Xie Youwei and Yan Jingxuan had been punished by Marquis Xuanping and then by his elder brother Yan Jingrong in the carriage. Now Xie Huai'an and Yan Jingrong were on duty together...

"Does the general know Yan Jingrong, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Xuanping?"

Xie Huai'an knew that she had taken Xie Youwei to a banquet at the Marquis of Xuanping's residence today.

"I know him, what's wrong?"

"I heard from Youwei that Yan Jingxuan was punished by his brother."

"Yes, I deliberately brought it up in front of Prince Yan," Xie Huai'an admitted frankly.

Jiang Shuwan, "..."

She said that Xie Huai'an seemed so nonchalant at the time, but it turned out he had directly reported the matter to Yan Jingrong.

Xie Huai'an lay down beside her, stroking her face. "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Jiang Shuwan knew that people have many faces, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xie Huai'an did. On the contrary, she was really a little scared if Xie Huai'an did nothing after knowing that Xie Huaiyu was being bullied.

If a man ignores the mistreatment of his family, he certainly won't stand up for his wife if she suffers injustice one day.

Xie Huai'an looked at her affectionately, "Disappointed? Do you think I'm not as upright and honest as you see me?"

Jiang Shuwan shook her head, "How could that be?" Then she curled the corners of her mouth, "I thought General Xie would beat the man up to avenge his brother."

Xie Huai'an smiled faintly, "That's not the case."

Jiang Shuwan then told Xie Huai'an about what happened at the banquet that day. She told Xie Huai'an so that he would be prepared, since the Duke and Duchess of Dingguo were not very magnanimous, and she had slapped them in the face today.

Xie Huai'an secretly made a mental note of it.

As they talked, the temperature inside the bed curtains gradually rose. Jiang Shuwan felt her throat go dry and her heart race. She was no longer a naive young girl; after these few times together, Jiang Shuwan had also experienced joy...

The next day, Jiang Shuwan got up, rubbing her lower back.

Seeing how affectionate the mistress and the general were, Fei Yue and Fei Yun felt that they would soon have a little master.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Shuwan sat looking at the account book when the gatekeeper brought her a letter, which Feiyue handed to her.

It was a letter from Pei to let her know that he was safe. Besides letting her know that he was safe, the letter also mentioned many interesting people and things.

Jiang Shuwan finished reading the letter, put it away, and waited for Xie Huai'an to read it when he returned home that evening.

Jiang Shuwan said enviously, "We should also go out and have some fun when we have free time."

"Really?" Fei Yun was delighted.

"Of course, but I don't know if you'll be able to go then." Jiang Shuwan looked serious.

"Why? You can't just take Feiyue and not me!"

Feiyun thought Jiang Shuwan wanted her to stay at the mansion to guard the gate.

"Who said I was going to bring Scarlet Moon?"

Feiyue and Feiyun exchanged a glance; how could they not know that they had fallen out of favor?

Seeing their tense expressions, Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“You two are about my age, and it’s time to think about your own marriage. What I said before still stands.”

Knowing that their master was joking, both Feiyue and the other woman smiled.

Feiyun said shyly, "Madam, please don't tease us. We plan to serve you for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Shuwan joked, "If you're going to serve me for the rest of your life, are you still planning to get married?"

Feiyun hesitated, unsure whether she should get married or not.

Feiyue firmly replied, "This servant will not marry; I am willing to follow you, Madam, for the rest of my life."

Although both Feiyue and Feiyun grew up with Jiang Shuwan, they were different. Feiyun was born into a family and was chosen by Jiang Shuwan to stay by her side when she was four or five years old. Her parents passed away one after another in recent years.

Feiyue was a maid bought from the Grand Princess's residence. She was already eight or nine years old when she arrived at the Grand Princess's residence. At that time, another maid of Jiang Shuwan was replaced by the Grand Princess because she had impure intentions. By chance, Jiang Shuwan saw her and took her in as her personal maid.

"I will not force you to marry or not. If one day you have the idea of ​​leaving the General's Mansion, I will return your indenture and the shops and land that were promised to you."

In Jiang Shuwan's heart, Feiyue and Feiyun were not just simple maids. They had suffered so much for her in their past lives, and she wanted to make it up to them in this life.

Feiyue and Feiyun knelt down at the same time and said, "We will never leave Madam."

Jiang Shuwan was deeply moved by their unwavering loyalty.

She was thinking of talking to Xie Huai'an to see if there were any eligible men from respectable families, with simple social circles, and upright character.

When Jiang Shuwan got up to get ready after her lunch break, Feiyun brought back some news.

Du Siyu is getting married to He Zhizhang, the third young master of the Huian Marquis's mansion!

Jiang Shuwan was stunned for a moment when she first heard it.

How did Du Siyu get involved with He Zhizhang?

He Zhizhang was a notorious playboy in the capital, not even as good as his own brother He Zhilin, and not even as good as the eldest son of a concubine, He Zhiyan. Apart from being the youngest legitimate son, he had nothing.

Not long after Feiyun finished speaking, the Dongping Marquis's residence sent out an invitation.

Jiang Shuwan's intuition told her that her trip to the Marquis of Dongping's residence tomorrow might be because of Du Siyu.

Although Jiang Shuwan didn't want to get too close to her relatives, she would still attend necessary occasions if required.

The next day, Jiang Shuwan went to the residence of the Marquis of Dongping.

When Aunt Hui saw Jiang Shuwan, she fussed over her and asked her how she was doing.

Jiang Shuwan became more certain in her heart.

After exchanging pleasantries, Aunt Hui got straight to the point: "Shuwan, Siyu is about to marry into the Huian Marquis's family. As her cousin, you should help her out more often."

Jiang Shuwan pretended not to know anything and said, "My cousin Siyu is getting married. I congratulate my aunt and cousin first." After saying that, she paused and said, "My cousin is marrying into the Huian Marquis's family. Even if the two families were not far apart, the Huian Marquis's family is not something I can interfere with."

“I know that. I don’t mean for you to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis of Huian’s mansion. It’s just that you should help Siyu out more when you meet her at banquets in the future. After all, you are cousins. You can also visit her at the Marquis of Huian’s mansion from time to time, so that the people of the Marquis of Huian’s mansion know that Siyu has a cousin, the Princess, protecting her.”

Aunt Hui had clearly planned things out very well for her daughter.

Madam Gu nodded in agreement, saying that they were cousins ​​and should help each other.

Jiang Shuwan politely declined, saying, "My aunt is aware of what's going on between me and the Marquis of Huian's family. It would be inappropriate for me to go there. It would be better to let Shurou visit my cousin more often. With Shurou, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, around, the Marquis of Huian's family will have to think twice."

Upon hearing Jiang Shuwan's words, Gu's smile faded considerably, and she even showed considerable dissatisfaction with her.

Aunt Hui didn't notice her older sister's expression; she thought Jiang Shuwan's suggestion was quite good.
