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

Jiang Shuwan's newly ignited hope sank again. "You have no other choice?"

Based on her deduction, Yan Jingrong must have lived longer than her in her previous life.

Seeing this, Yan Jingrong said, "Princess, there's no need to worry. I'll take care of the princess."

Since Yan Jingrong said so, he will definitely do it, and Jiang Shuwan currently believes him.

"As long as Prince Yan treats A-Shu well, you can ask for any help you need."

"it is good."

Jiang Shuwan had been out for quite some time. She nodded to Yan Jingrong and then left.

Jiang Shuwan sat down, and Xie Huai'an took her hand under the table.

Xie Huai'an asked with concern, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Jiang Shuwan smiled at him, "It's alright, it's just a bit windy outside." After saying that, she picked up the fruit wine and drank several glasses in a row before she felt better.

Xie Huai'an didn't say anything; she could sense that Jiang Shuwan wasn't in a good mood after returning from outside.

Jiang Shuwan originally thought Yan Jingrong had some good solution, but who knew he didn't. According to the trajectory of the previous life, Li Shu would be sent to marry a foreign ruler in a few months.

After a while, Yan Jingrong sat back down in his seat as usual.

Xie Huai'an silently observed Jiang Shuwan, but Jiang Shuwan never even glanced at Yan Jingrong afterward.

Li Ning also returned to the banquet. Many people in the capital knew that she admired Yan Jingrong. She had just seen Yan Jingrong go out, so she followed him out. Unexpectedly, she saw him talking to Jiang Shuwan. However, the two were several steps apart and did not make any intimate gestures.

After Jiang Shuwan left, Li Ning blocked Yan Jingrong's path.

Yan Jingrong asked with a distant expression, "What brings you here, Princess Changqing?"

"I saw everything just now. What did Jiang Shuwan say to you?"

Li Ning said this on purpose, thinking that it would threaten Yan Jingrong.

Yan Jingrong said in an icy voice, "Princess Changqing, please be careful with your words. I just happened to run into Princess Yongning and we only exchanged a few words."

Li Ning hadn't expected him to be angry, and quickly said, "I know, don't be angry..."

Yan Jingrong interrupted her, "If Princess Changqing has nothing else to say, I'll be going now." After saying that, he left.

Li Ning stomped her feet in anger. Yan Jingrong was cold and aloof, but she just happened to like him that way.

After the banquet, Jiang Shuwan felt a little dizzy and regretful. She shouldn't have drunk so much fruit wine. She sat in the carriage and rested with her eyes closed.

Xie Huai'an noticed, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "A little." Then she said shyly, "I drank too much today."

Xie Huai'an chuckled and then pulled the person into his arms.

"How can you be comfortable leaning against that?"

Jiang Shuwan didn't act coy and leaned against Xie Huai'an's chest, letting go of her strength.

Xie Huai'an's embrace was warm and comforting, and Jiang Shuwan quickly fell asleep. When they arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, Xie Huai'an saw that she showed no signs of waking up, so he took off his fox fur coat, draped it over her, and carried her off the carriage, heading towards Mingxiang Garden.

Xie Huai'an walked quickly, worried that Jiang Shuwan would catch a cold, and his breathing remained steady throughout the journey.

When Fei Yue saw the general carrying his wife back, she thought something had happened and was startled.

Jiang Shuwan slowly opened her eyes only after Xie Huai'an placed her on the bed.

Jiang Shuwan was still half asleep. How did she end up in the house when she was in the carriage?

"Make a bowl of hangover soup for Madam," Xie Huai'an instructed.

Feiyue nodded, closed the door, and went out.

Jiang Shuwan asked, "Did you carry me in?"

Xie Huai'an nodded. He knew that Jiang Shuwan always valued etiquette and was afraid of what she might say, so he quickly shut her up.

Jiang Shuwan's eyes widened as she looked at the man so close to her.

Her breath had a faint taste of fruit wine. At the banquet, Xie Huai'an saw Jiang Shuwan drinking fruit wine, so he also took a sip. He only took one sip and then didn't touch the fruit wine again. For some reason, the taste in Jiang Shuwan's breath was better than the fruit wine he had drunk at the banquet.

Jiang Shuwan was so dizzy from his kisses that she felt the bed curtains above her head spinning.

It took Xie Huai'an a long time to release her. Jiang Shuwan was panting and her cheeks were still flushed.

When no one is around, Xie Huai'an often kisses Jiang Shuwan, and Jiang Shuwan, who was initially uncomfortable with it, has now gotten used to it.

Xie Huai'an hugged her and sighed; he really didn't know what to do with her.

Xie Huai'an knew that he hadn't completely entered Jiang Shuwan's heart yet, so much so that he could sense that something was on Jiang Shuwan's mind, but he didn't know what it was.

Jiang Shuwan noticed that he was in a low mood, so she reached out and hugged him.

Xie Huai'an's lips immediately curled up; he knew he still held a place in her heart.

Jiang Shuwan didn't know what Xie Huai'an was thinking, but she could sense that his mood had improved.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an, along with their siblings, had dinner together.

"I wonder if my parents have eaten?"

Xie Youwei missed Pei Shi; this was the first time she hadn't spent the New Year with her mother.

Jiang Shuwan comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom and the others have definitely eaten."

Xie Youwei nodded.

Xie Huai'an looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law. They had both grown quite a bit taller in the past six months, especially Xie Youwei, who had changed a lot. She had become more and more composed in her speech and manners. All of this was thanks to Jiang Shuwan. His gaze towards Jiang Shuwan became even more tender.

Jiang Shuwan smiled at him.

Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu saw the two of them exchange a glance and then smiled.

The family enjoyed a happy meal together.

After the meal, they stayed up all night to welcome the New Year. The four of them sat together to keep watch.

Jiang Shuwan, Xie Huai'an, and Xie Huaiyu each held a book in their hands.

Although Xie Youwei had read some books, she did not like reading.

Jiang Shuwan noticed that Xie Youwei was sitting alone. She put down her book, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we play some leaf cards?"

Xie Youwei happily agreed, "Great!"

Feiyun quickly brought the things up.

Jiang Shuwan and the other three sat together and started playing.

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Youwei both knew a little bit of the game, while Xie Huai'an and Xie Huaiyu had just started learning. However, after two rounds, the Xie Huai'an brothers won one after another, while Jiang Shuwan and Xie Youwei didn't win a single round.

It wasn't until Xie Huai'an noticed Jiang Shuwan's disappointed expression that he started to secretly let her win. Xie Huaiyu noticed this and also started to let her win, and only then did Jiang Shuwan and Xie Youwei begin to win.

After the two girls won, there was a lot of laughter and chatter around the table.

Firecrackers started going off outside, and Jiang Shuwan and the others stopped playing cards and went to the courtyard to set off fireworks.

Jiang Shuwan had a rare childlike smile on her face. She and Xie Youwei had a lot of fun until the midnight bell rang.

Xie Youwei was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, so Jiang Shuwan had someone help her to go and rest.

Xie Huaiyu seemed to be in good spirits. He bowed to his brother and sister-in-law and then left.

After making arrangements, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an returned to Mingxiang Garden together.

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve was the most lively one Jiang Shuwan had ever experienced.

She had lived with her grandmother since she could remember. Every New Year's Eve, it was just the two of them, along with Feiyue and Feiyun. While other families were all together, the two of them seemed rather lonely.
