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

When Li Shu arrived, the Grand Princess was still awake. With Jiang Shuwan and Li Shu keeping her company, the Grand Princess's mood improved considerably. However, she still couldn't overexert herself. After a while, Jiang Shuwan and Li Shu withdrew so that the old lady could rest.

Li Shu looked at Jiang Shuwan and thought she looked thinner.

“You need to take care of yourself too. Don’t overwork yourself,” Li Shu advised her.

Jiang Shuwan smiled at her, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

Li Shu stayed at the Grand Princess's residence for a while before leaving, while the Marquis of Dongping and his wife arrived together.

"Wan'er, how is your grandmother?"

The Marquis of Dongping looked anxious, having just learned that his mother was ill.

“Grandma just took her medicine and is now lying down to rest,” Jiang Shuwan said truthfully.

Marquis Dongping nodded; he was still worried about his mother since he hadn't seen her with his own eyes.

Madam Gu, standing to the side, remained calm, showing no worry in her eyes. Instead, she looked at Jiang Shuwan with displeasure and said, "Why didn't you send someone to the Marquis's residence to report such a serious matter as your grandmother's illness?"

Marquis Dongping agreed with Madam Gu, saying, "Yes, your grandmother is ill, why didn't you send someone to inform her? I only found out because I heard it from outsiders."

“Grandmother said she just caught a cold and didn’t want anyone to tell anyone.” She paused for a moment and then said, “Father and Mother, if you were truly filial, you wouldn’t go ten days or half a month without visiting Grandmother.”

When Marquis Dongping heard his daughter's words, he felt ashamed. Yes, his mother was getting old, and he should visit her more often.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's face turned ugly, and she retorted, "It was your grandmother who forbade me from coming to the Grand Princess's residence."

Jiang Shuwan said sarcastically, "Yes, why doesn't Grandmother let you come to pay your respects to the Grand Princess?"

Gu's face turned dark and then red.

Seeing this, Marquis Dongping spoke up to mediate, "Alright, both of you, stop talking so much." After he finished speaking, he looked at Madam Gu, who was standing to the side, and said, "You should go back first."

Lady Gu stared at Marquis Dongping in disbelief, then glared at him fiercely before leaving.

Marquis Dongping was helpless. It was because Gu Shi and Jiang Shuwan would always quarrel when they were together, and his mother didn't like Gu Shi either. He was afraid that seeing her at this time would not be good for her recovery.

Jiang Shuwan watched quietly from the side without making a sound.

Gu Shi got into the carriage and angrily cursed Jiang Shuwan.

Granny Du sat to the side, looking completely lost.

Soon, Madam Gu returned to the Dongping Marquis's residence.

Aunt Gu looked at her with surprise, "Eldest sister, what brings you here? Didn't you go to see the Grand Princess with your husband?"

Her words reignited Gu's anger, which had just calmed her down. She then told her second younger sister what had just happened.

My second aunt listened quietly to her story, offering words of comfort along the way.

"So you saw the Grand Princess?"

Madam Gu said angrily, "No, when I went there my mother-in-law had just taken her medicine and was resting."

My second aunt comforted me, saying, "My dear sister, don't be angry. Think about how outstanding Shu Wan is. It's so good that she married such a wonderful man. Countless people in the capital envy you. You should try to get along well with Shu Wan in the future."

Without even thinking, Madam Gu said, "Me, get on good terms with her? You want me to curry favor with her? Impossible, absolutely impossible. It's always the younger generation who curries favor with the older generation, never the other way around."

My second aunt laughed and said, "Oh dear, isn't that because your daughter is so capable?"

Madam Gu snorted coldly, "I don't only have her as my daughter. My Rou'er is gentle and considerate."

"But she and her son-in-law are not as good as Shu Wan and her husband." After saying that, the second aunt realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.

Madam Gu was indeed displeased upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the second aunt quickly smiled and apologized, "It was my fault, I misspoke. Shuchen is the top scholar, he will definitely have a bright future ahead of him."

Gu's expression softened a bit after hearing this.

Seeing that her eldest sister's expression had improved, her second aunt continued, "Speaking of which, Rou'er is closer to us. We've watched Shuchen grow up since he was a child. His character and talent are beyond question, but what good is talent if you don't have connections?"

"What do you mean?" Gu didn't understand.

“Oh dear, my silly sister, Shuchen is currently serving as an official in another city. Wouldn’t it be better if your brother-in-law used his connections to transfer him to the capital? That way, you can see your daughter whenever you want.”

Madam Gu thought her second sister was right.

"If I had that power, I would have transferred Shuchen back long ago. Unfortunately, I am of low status and my voice is not as strong as my elder sister's."

My second aunt is praising Gu Shi again.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu forgot all her recent troubles.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what are you talking about?" Aunt Hui walked in from outside.

Madam Gu straightened her expression and said coldly, "It's nothing."

Aunt Hui thought she was still angry about what happened before, so she smiled and went up to her eldest sister to try to appease her.

**

Marquis Dongping waited for more than an hour before the Grand Princess finally woke up.

The Grand Princess saw that her son's expression was indifferent and he was not very happy.

Jiang Shuwan has searched the entire Grand Princess's residence. Any servants who seemed suspicious or whose backgrounds were unclear have been dismissed. The Grand Princess's residence is now very safe.

Xie Huai'an arrived in the evening, bringing with him the snacks that Jiang Shuwan liked.

Xie Huai'an first paid his respects to the Grand Princess, and then the young couple returned to their room. Jiang Shuwan knew that she had been focused on the Grand Princess's residence these past two days and had no time to take care of Xie Huai'an and the others. Today, he even brought her favorite snacks, and Jiang Shuwan ate several pieces to show her respect.

"Will Huaiyu's results be out tomorrow?" Jiang Shuwan suddenly remembered.

"Okay, don't worry about this. I have a day off tomorrow."

In Xie Huai'an's eyes, Jiang Shuwan had lost a lot of weight.

"I see that Grandma is feeling much better. You should take care of yourself too," Xie Huai'an couldn't help but remind her.

Jiang Shuwan nodded, feeling warm inside after hearing his words of concern.

Xie Huai'an looked at her and said, "Why don't I stay here with you tonight?"

Jiang Shuwan refused, "No need, we still need to see the results tomorrow."

"OK then."

Xie Huai'an was a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuwan leaned closer to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Considering how much he cares about me, this kiss is a reward.

Xie Huai'an's eyes widened in surprise, and then, seeing Jiang Shuwan blushing slightly, he couldn't resist the urge to tease her.

"That's it?"

Jiang Shuwan said coquettishly, "What else do you want?"

"At the very least, it has to be like this." Before Jiang Shuwan could react, Xie Huai'an pulled her into his arms and kissed her red lips.

At this moment, Jiang Shuwan was sitting in Xie Huai'an's arms. Xie Huai'an had been alone in his room for several days, so his kiss was more forceful than usual, and soon Jiang Shuwan's whole body went limp.

Half an hour later, Xie Huai'an released Jiang Shuwan. At this time, Jiang Shuwan blushed and lowered her head to tidy her clothes. Xie Huai'an felt even more aroused after seeing this.
