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

Originally intending to leave, Li Shu couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place? Why isn't there a single servant?"

She came out of the house and didn't see anyone except Yan Jingrong.

Yan Jingrong said, "The servants are all busy in the front yard."

Li Shu planned to go to the front yard by herself.

Yan Jingrong blocked her way.

Li Shu looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I would like to ask what the princess meant by wishing me to find my ideal partner?"

Li Shu felt that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"Wasn't this banquet today organized to find you a wife?"

Yan Jingrong quickly explained, "Yes, but that wasn't my intention."

Li Shu had never seen him like this before, and a desire to tease him arose in her heart.

"This wasn't your intention. Could it be that Prince Yan has someone he loves?"

Yan Jingrong remained silent.

Li Shu was just talking nonsense, but she never expected that she would guess correctly by sheer luck.

"You have someone you like! Who is it? Do I know them?"

Yan Jingrong looked at her and smiled, "You know her."

"Who is it?"

Li Shu was extremely curious: who did Yan Jingrong, this extremely self-demanding psychopath, like? And who was so unlucky?

"You really want to know?"

Li Shu nodded frantically. She wanted to know, she was going to share this gossip with Sister Wan in a little while!

Yan Jingrong found her appearance extremely cute and said with a smile in his eyes, "The sky is far away, yet it's right in front of you."

Li Shu looked around and saw that there was no one else around except the two of them. Then she thought of a possibility.

Yan Jingrong found it extremely amusing to watch her face change as if by magic.

Li Shu shouted, "How dare you!"

Others might have been intimidated by Li Shu, but Yan Jingrong had watched her grow up and knew that she had a loud voice but was actually timid.

Li Shu quickly composed herself and angrily said, "Yan Jingrong, how dare you! How dare you flirt with this princess!"

Yan Jingrong smiled helplessly, "When did I tease you? You forced me to ask who my beloved is, and I was just telling the truth."

Li Shu never expected Yan Jingrong to be so shameless.

"I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll report to my father and have him punish you!"

After saying that, Li Shu turned to leave.

"You've gone the wrong way; the front yard is on the left."

Li Shu stopped and turned to walk to the left.

Yan Jingrong's lips curled up at the sight.

After recalling

Jiang Shuwan frowned as she listened; no wonder she had sensed something was wrong with Li Shu back then.

"He didn't bother you in the palace after that, did he?"

Li Shu shook her head, "No, not at all..."

Although Yan Jingrong didn't bother her, she could sense that Yan Jingrong had changed, that he was different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Jiang Shuwan didn't know what to say for a moment.

She was very willing for Li Shu and Yan Jingrong to be together, so that she wouldn't have to go to Northern Qi for a political marriage.

"Ah Shu, tell me, what are you thinking?"

“Sister Wan, what can I think? The marriage alliance is a done deal. A few days ago, my uncle, the emperor of Northern Qi, even wrote a letter to the empress dowager, saying that he would send someone to bring me to Northern Qi after the New Year.”

Thinking about these things made Li Shu feel down.

Jiang Shuwan held her hand, but couldn't bring herself to say anything to comfort her.

**

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Jiang Shuwan began to recall that she had never heard A-Shu mention anything about her and Yan Jingrong in her previous life. What had happened?

Could it be that many things have changed because of my rebirth?

No, she hasn't even met Yan Jingrong in this life, so she can't possibly change him.

What causes a person's personality to change?

Could it be that Yan Jingrong, like himself, was also reborn?

Jiang Shuwan thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.

Yan Jingrong was a gifted and talented individual from a young age, a true prodigy. However, he was aloof and indifferent. As a child, he was assigned by the emperor to be the eldest prince's study companion, so he was often in the palace and met with Li Shu quite frequently.

Li Shu described Yan Jingrong as rigid, taciturn, and with an icy demeanor.

When Jiang Shuwan was a child, she often heard Li Shu say bad things about Yan Jingrong.

It seems there are signs of everything.

Feiyue and Feiyun looked at the change in their master's face, wondering what had happened.

"Madam, has something happened?"

Feiyun and the others were guarding the gate outside at the time.

Jiang Shuwan shook her head. "It's nothing."

This is a very important matter, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"How's the investigation I asked you to do, Feiyue?"

Fei Yue reported, "Song Wanqing is cautious, and our people are temporarily unable to handle her."

Jiang Shuwan knew that Song Wanqing was a meticulous and cautious person.

"Since it's not feasible to make a move on her, let's start with Lin Ruoqing."

"Yes."

Jiang Shuwan reached out and rubbed her forehead. She was certain that she had been killed by Song Wanqing in her previous life. But what about Li Shu?

In her previous life, I personally saw her off when she went to Northern Qi. How was her life in Northern Qi?

If Yan Jingrong was indeed reborn, could the marriage alliance have been avoided?

Back at the General's Mansion, Feiyue went to contact the informant at the Marquis of Huian's residence.

The target shifted from Song Wanqing to Lin Ruoqing, and the items were obtained quickly.

Jiang Shuwan brought Feiyue to the restaurant, and Feiyue was holding a handkerchief.

"This is the fragrance the girl was talking about."

Jiang Shuwan took the handkerchief and immediately smelled that familiar fragrance as soon as she opened it.

"Madam, please be careful. Let me carry it."

Feiyue was afraid that the fragrance might harm Jiang Shuwan.

"Keep it safe and have the imperial physician... no, you should find a trustworthy and skilled incense maker to examine this incense."

Jiang Shuwan guessed that someone as cautious as Song Wanqing would likely not be able to discover the secrets hidden in the things she made.

"Yes."

The two were about to leave when they heard their neighbors spouting nonsense.

“What is Princess Yongning? My brother-in-law abandoned her and married my brother-in-law.”

The man's voice was so loud that Jiang Shuwan and Feiyue, who were outside the house, could hear it clearly.

Jiang Shuwan remained calm, but Feiyue's face darkened upon hearing this. She planned to have the guards go in and teach the man who had spoken so recklessly a lesson.

Jiang Shuwan stopped her.

“I bet that Princess Yongning must have grown up to be extremely ugly, otherwise why wouldn’t my brother-in-law marry her?”

After the man finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The man kept calling her "brother-in-law," leading Jiang Shuwan to guess that he must be related to Lin Ruoqing.

Jiang Shuwan gave Feiyue a look, and Feiyue ordered the guards to kick down the door and enter.

The people inside were startled.

Feiyue coldly rebuked, "These people have committed insubordination and offended Princess Yongning. Arrest them and send them to the authorities!"

The five guards quickly subdued all of them.

The commotion was quite loud, and people in many of the rooms peeked out to see what was going on.

The shopkeeper also came over upon hearing the noise.

Jiang Shuwan stood outside, her face hidden by a long veil. The shopkeeper couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her clothes and demeanor, she must be a person of great importance.

"Who are you? How dare you lay a hand on me! Do you even know who my brother-in-law is?!"
