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

Jiang Shuwan shook her head and smiled at her, "It's nothing."

"It's good that you're alright. My mother hasn't let me go out lately."

Song Wenyin will be marrying the heir of Prince An after the New Year.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Shuwan knew she meant well.

Prince An's daughter, Li Ning, walked over and snorted coldly as she passed by them.

Jiang Shuwan and Song Wenying were both composed, so neither of them went up to talk to Li Ning. If Li Shu were there, she would have gone up to argue with Li Ning long ago.

Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to her, Li Ning stomped her foot angrily and left.

Jiang Shuwan whispered, "Be careful in everything you do after you marry into the Prince An's household."

Song Wenying nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Song Wenying came from a respectable family. Even the Prince of An and his wife, as well as the Prince of An's heir, dared not bully her. As for Li Ning, she would get married sooner or later, so Song Wenying didn't care about her at all.

Huianbo and his wife arrived with their two sons and daughters-in-law.

Lin Hongye is already on his way to exile. He Zhilin did indeed make arrangements for him. However, after He Zhilin made the arrangements, Xie Huai'an also specially arranged for someone to take care of Lin Hongye. Neither He Zhilin nor Lin Ruoqing knew about these things.

Lin Ruoqing spotted Jiang Shuwan at a glance.

Jiang Shuwan was dressed in a purple dress embroidered with cloud patterns. Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her exquisite features seemed to be sculpted by nature. She wore a gold and jade hairpin, and today she looked dignified and noble.

For some reason, He Zhilin couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuwan whenever she was around.

Lin Ruoqing didn't notice, but Xie Huai'an did. He walked over to the two of them, blocking He Zhilin's view and making eye contact with him.

He Zhilin knew he was in the wrong, so he turned his head away, not daring to look at him again.

Jiang Shuwan had no idea that she was talking to Song Wenying at that moment.

Du Siyu walked towards Jiang Shuwan as soon as she saw her.

"Cousin."

Du Siyu bowed.

The expressions on the faces of the people from the Huian Marquis's residence were all different.

Ye Shi pursed her lips and stopped looking at them, while Huian Bo hoped that his third daughter-in-law would be on good terms with the General's Mansion. Lin Ruoqing felt even more disgusted with Du Siyu.

He Zhilin didn't want Lin Ruoqing to attend today's banquet, but she insisted on coming, and He Zhilin couldn't persuade her otherwise.

He Zhilin was worried about her and the baby in her belly, but he didn't know that Lin Ruoqing's stomachache last time was faked. She just wanted He Zhilin to pity her and help Lin Hongye.

Then the Grand Princess arrived, and Jiang Shuwan went over to greet her grandmother, with Xie Huai'an following along.

The Grand Princess noticed that the smiles on her granddaughter and grandson-in-law's faces had deepened considerably.

Seeing his mother so happy, Marquis Dongping was also happy. Now that his two daughters were married, he had nothing to worry about. He spent his days attending court, eating and drinking, living a life like a god.

A shrill voice announced, "The Emperor and Empress have arrived."

Everyone except the Grand Princess knelt down and performed the full kowtow.

Emperor Mingde said with a smile, "Rise, all of you."

At this time last year, the powerful Duke Xue was someone Emperor Mingde feared. Now that there was no such powerful minister around, he felt much better.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingde sat down, said a few words, and then the banquet began.

The dancers walked to the center and began their performance, creating a joyful atmosphere at the banquet.

Lin Ruoqing stared intently at Jiang Shuwan, feeling that everything she had was caused by Jiang Shuwan, so why was Jiang Shuwan living such a smooth life!

Lin Ruoqing's heart gradually began to twist.

Jiang Shuwan sensed a resentful gaze, but the other person withdrew it as soon as she looked at them. Jiang Shuwan calmly took a sip of fruit wine. She didn't take Lin Ruoqing to heart. Even if Lin Ruoqing were not the lady of the Huian Marquis's mansion, she would not be afraid of her.

This fruit wine is newly released, and its sweet and sour taste suits Jiang Shuwan's palate perfectly.

Xie Huai'an watched her drink one cup after another and reached out to stop her.

"Although this fruit wine has a low alcohol content, you can still get drunk if you drink too much."

After Xie Huai'an finished speaking, he poured her a cup of tea.

Without the sweet and sour fruit wine to drink, Jiang Shuwan glared at him resentfully.

Xie Huai'an said indulgently, "I'll have someone pack it up and take it home. You can drink it whenever you want."

Jiang Shuwan knew that this place was different from the General's Mansion; it was a mixed bag of people, and she had to be vigilant at all times.

The two were so affectionate that anyone who saw them would think they were very sweet together.

Emperor Mingde also saw it, and he looked quite pleased with himself.

It seems his choice of marriage is quite good.

He Zhilin was stunned by what he saw.

Consort He noticed a mocking smile playing on her lips. Indeed, for men, what they can't have is always the best.

Lin Ruoqing was seething with hatred, plotting how to make Jiang Shuwan suffer.

Du Siyu glanced at the man beside her subconsciously.

He Zhizhang was drinking his wine and staring at the dancer with a lewd look in his eyes.

Du Siyu reached up and touched her forehead. How could she have been so blind as to marry him!

There have been no major changes among the civil officials in the court, but there have been significant changes among the military generals. Emperor Mingde has firmly grasped military power, and several military generals in the court are nominal but have no real power. However, Xie Huai'an is the most favored by the emperor among the military generals.

Jiang Shuwan took a sip of tea and looked at Yan Jingrong. She hadn't forgotten about Li Shu.

Yan Jingrong noticed her gaze and the two made eye contact. Then he nodded to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan smiled and nodded at him.

Xie Huai'an watched with envy.

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Jiang Shuwan turned to Xie Huai'an and said, "I'm going out for some fresh air."

Xie Huai'an thought she was feeling unwell from drinking too much fruit wine, so he said, "I'll keep you company."

Jiang Shuwan stopped him, "No need, I can manage on my own."

Seeing her insistence, Xie Huai'an had no choice but to give up.

Feiyun helped Jiang Shuwan leave the banquet.

A short while later, Yan Jingrong also got up and left his seat.

Xie Huai'an noticed, but he didn't get up; he trusted Jiang Shuwan.

**

As soon as Jiang Shuwan stepped out of the palace, a gust of cold wind blew past her, making her much more awake.

Feiyun was much more awake now, and she was on high alert, as if her master was waiting for someone.

Jiang Shuwan didn't know if Yan Jingrong would come out. She was just trying her luck. It was really cold outside. If he didn't come in another 15 minutes, Jiang Shuwan would go back.

A moment later, Jiang Shuwan saw someone walking towards her.

Feiyun warily protected Jiang Shuwan.

Seeing that it was Yan Jingrong and Jiang Shuwan, their hearts were finally at ease.

Princess Yongning.

Yan Jingrong clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Young Master Yan."

After Jiang Shuwan finished speaking, she said to Feiyun beside her, "Go and keep watch over them."

Feiyun nodded and found a place where she could not hear their conversation but could still see Jiang Shuwan and wait.

Jiang Shuwan felt that her rebirth was already absurd, but she didn't expect Yan Jingrong to be the same. From the moment Yan Jingrong appeared here, she was certain that Yan Jingrong had also lived once before.

It was not a good time to linger here and now, so Jiang Shuwan cut to the chase and asked, "Does Prince Yan like A-Shu?"

Yan Jingrong nodded without hiding anything.

Jiang Shuwan was secretly delighted. "Then do you have a way to stop her from the marriage alliance?"

Yan Jingrong remained silent. Having been reborn, he had considered many methods, but none of them were good enough to stop Li Shu from being married off.
