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

Then she called in Granny Zhou.

"Give the order that something has gone missing from the manor. From this moment on, no one in the manor is allowed to leave without my permission. In addition to the guards at the gate, send trusted confidants to keep watch in the shadows. If anyone is found to be acting suspiciously, arrest them immediately."

Granny Zhou nodded, "Yes."

Judging from Jiang Shuwan's demeanor, it seemed that the Grand Princess's illness was quite unusual, so Granny Zhou dared not relax for a moment.

Jiang Shuwan's intuition told her that her grandmother's death in her previous life was also very strange.

who is it?

Who is it?

The thought of that person secretly watching over Grand Princess Jiang Shuwan made her uneasy. She had to find this person as soon as possible so that she could feel at ease.

After examining the Grand Princess, Physician Li found nothing wrong with her usual diet.

At this moment, the Grand Princess also woke up, and Jiang Shuwan rushed to see her after learning about it.

The Grand Princess was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Shuwan and said weakly, "Why are you here?" She then coughed a few times.

Jiang Shuwan said with self-reproach, "I only learned that you were ill when I came to your residence today."

"It was my fault for not letting them notify you. It's just a cold, nothing serious."

Jiang Shuwan held her hand and said softly, "Yes, I heard from the imperial physician that you caught a cold and will recover in a couple of days."

The Grand Princess smiled to reassure her.

Jiang Shuwan felt a lump in her throat.

Granny Zhou brought over the bowl of medicine.

Jiang Shuwan personally fed her grandmother the medicine, and left the room after she finished drinking it so as not to disturb the old lady's rest.

"Feiyue, go to the Xuanping Marquis's residence to pick up Youwei later, and also tell Steward Qin that I will be staying at the Grand Princess's residence for the next two days."

"Yes."

Jiang Shuwan couldn't possibly leave the Grand Princess in her current state.

She couldn't stay in the room, so she took her maid to the kitchen. She looked around but didn't find anything wrong. Finally, she saw the medicine pot.

Since there's no problem with the diet, could the problem be with the medication?

Jiang Shuwan asked, "What do you do with the dregs from the Grand Princess's decoctions?"

The maid who was preparing the medicine pointed to the swill bucket not far away, "Your Highness, you've already thrown it all away. This is the dregs from the medicine just now, and I haven't had time to throw it away yet."

Jiang Shuwan gave Ziyan a look, and Ziyan went to get the decoction pot.

Then the master and servants left the kitchen.

Jiang Shuwan sent someone to invite Physician Li.

"Greetings, Princess."

Physician Li bowed.

"Physician Li, there's no need for such formalities. I called you here to have you examine this dregs of medicine to see if there's anything wrong with them."

Physician Li stepped forward to examine the medicine. He turned over the dregs with his hand, then picked it up and smelled it, before frowning.

"This medicine is based on my prescription, but the taste is wrong. There's an ingredient in it that's not on my prescription."

Jiang Shuwan instructed the maid beside her, "Immediately arrest the person who brought the medicine and prepared it."

"Yes."

Then Jiang Shuwan asked anxiously, "What will happen to my grandmother if she drinks this medicine, Physician Li?"

Physician Li said, "Princess, don't worry. This medicine is not poisonous, but it is not good for the Grand Princess's recovery."

Jiang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. After Physician Li left, Ziyan escorted two people in.

One of the two was a maid who had just prepared the medicine, and the other was a maid who delivered the medicine.

The two maids looked at Jiang Shuwan with fear in their eyes.

"Princess, spare my life! I am innocent!"

"Injustice? I haven't said anything yet, how could I have wronged you?" After saying that, Jiang Shuwan's eyes suddenly turned cold, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me!"

The two lay on the ground, trembling.

Jiang Shuwan coldly rebuked, "Speak! Who instructed you to poison the Grand Princess?"

"I did not poison the Grand Princess. Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare."

"Take Ziyan away. I need to know what I want to know in an hour." Jiang Shuwan didn't want to waste time talking to them.

"Yes."

After Ziyan finished speaking, she had two maids taken away.

In the evening, after learning from Steward Qin that Jiang Shuwan was at the Grand Princess's residence, Xie Huai'an went directly there without entering the house.

When Xie Huai'an saw Jiang Shuwan, her expression was very unpleasant.

Jiang Shuwan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Xie Huai'an walked up to her and asked with concern, "What happened?"

"It's nothing. My grandmother is ill, and I want to stay with her at the Grand Princess's residence for a few days."

"How did he suddenly get sick?" Xie Huai'an felt that the illness was somewhat strange.

Jiang Shuwan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just caught a cold a few days ago."

Xie Huai'an knew Jiang Shuwan wasn't telling the truth, and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Hearing Jiang Shuwan's rejection, Xie Huai'an felt somewhat disappointed.

"Then take care of yourself, and let me know if anything happens."

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Shuwan was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries with Xie Huai'an at this moment, and Xie Huai'an took the initiative to leave the Grand Princess's residence.

The two have never had a single argument since they got married. To outsiders, they seem very close and sweet, and that is indeed the case. But sometimes Xie Huai'an feels very distant from her and feels that he has not entered her heart.

Jiang Shuwan didn't mean to hide it from Xie Huai'an, but since it concerned her grandmother, she couldn't be careless.

"A suspicious person was caught at the madam's doorman's."

Jiang Shuwan rubbed her temples. "Has the identity check been completed?"

"Upon investigation, this person has been staying in the mansion for more than three years, and the investigation found nothing amiss, but today she was acting suspiciously at the side gate."

This person was very tight-lipped; after a long interrogation, he didn't confess anything.

A moment later, a maid ran in.

"Xiao Lan committed suicide!"

Ziyan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Jiang Shuwan immediately ordered, "Go and find out who is close to Xiaolan."

"Yes."

Ziyan quickly went out.

Jiang Shuwan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who might have harmed her grandmother. In addition, Ziyan had just brought news that Xiaolan had been in the Grand Princess's residence for more than three years. So this was not a new grudge but an old one.

After serving the Grand Princess some congee and helping her lie down to rest, Jiang Shuwan came out of the room.

Jiang Shuwan had just finished washing up when Ziyan brought her a handkerchief.

"This was found in Xiaolan's bundle."

Although the material of this handkerchief is not of the finest quality, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. The embroidered pattern on the handkerchief is quite unique.

Jiang Shuwan felt that the face looked familiar; she seemed to have seen it before, but she couldn't remember where.

The next day, after washing up, Jiang Shuwan went to see her grandmother, who was in much better condition.

"Wan'er, I'm fine here, you don't need to keep an eye on me all the time." The Grand Princess was in good spirits at the moment.

Jiang Shuwan deliberately said, "Grandmother, are you annoyed with me?"

"No, I'm just worried about the General's Mansion."

Jiang Shuwan smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, the General's Mansion won't run away. I'll go back when you're feeling better."

The Grand Princess chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say."

When Emperor Mingde learned of the Grand Princess's illness, he sent her a lot of tonics, as did the Empress. Li Shu also came to the Grand Princess's residence in person after learning about it.
