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

After tidying up, Jiang Shuwan glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes full of spring. Luckily, there was no bed in the room, otherwise this guy might have done something even more outrageous.

Xie Huai'an suddenly said in a roguish tone, "My dear princess, don't glare at me, or I'll want to bully you again."

Jiang Shuwan's face flushed instantly upon hearing this, remembering how they had been in bed together before, when he called her "Princess" and then...

She forced herself not to think about it and whispered, "Xie Huai'an, you're being a pervert!"

Xie Huai'an chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm a rascal." He then kissed her on the cheek again.

Jiang Shuwan was speechless. When this person was serious, he was more serious than anyone else, but when he was not serious, he was a real scoundrel!

She tidied her clothes, opened the door, and went out. Who knew what might happen if she stayed any longer?

After Xie Huai'an left, Jiang Shuwan returned to her room. Feiyun smiled and said, "The general really knows how to handle things. As soon as he arrived, Madam's mood improved."

Jiang Shuwan's smile faded. "Really?"

Feiyun nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, Madam was smiling just now."

Jiang Shuwan reached out and touched her face; she hadn't really noticed this before.

However, as her grandmother's health improved, Jiang Shuwan's mood also improved considerably.

The spy named Xiaolan didn't use a deadly poison; she simply added a toxic herb to the medicine. This suggests two possibilities: either she didn't intend to kill the Grand Princess directly but wanted to torture her slowly, or she didn't want to kill the spy and had other uses for her later.

Jiang Shuwan would not allow any of the above situations, but the other party was meticulous, and Jiang Shuwan had investigated for several days without finding a single clue. The only clue now was that special handkerchief.

The next day, Jiang Shuwan was serving the Grand Princess her medicine when Feiyun arrived with a big smile on her face.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Princess asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong, Feiyun? Why are you so happy?"

Feiyun said happily, "Young Master Huaiyu has passed the imperial examination with top honors."

Jiang Shuwan saw Feiyun return with a happy expression, knowing that Xie Huaiyu must have done well on the exam, but she didn't expect him to get the top score.

The Grand Princess smiled and said, "This child will definitely have a bright future."

"Yes, I didn't expect Huaiyu to be so amazing."

The Grand Princess said, "Alright, you should go back to the General's Mansion later. The child has achieved the highest honor in the imperial examination, so we should celebrate properly."

Jiang Shuwan still couldn't let go of her grandmother.

"I'm feeling much better now."

The Grand Princess looks much better than she did a few days ago.

Jiang Shuwan nodded in agreement. She would return to the General's Mansion later, where the Grand Princess would also give Xie Huaiyu some gifts.

General House

"Madam is back!"

Steward Qin reported this with delight.

Xie Huai'an and the others were very happy to hear this, and Xie Huai'an couldn't wait to greet his wife.

Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu followed behind.

Jiang Shuwan saw the three of them hurrying out and thought something had happened.

"what happened?"

Xie Huai'an smiled and his eyes shone. "It's nothing. I knew you were coming back, so I came especially to welcome you, Madam."

Jiang Shuwan felt a little embarrassed. She glared at Xie Huai'an, noting that there were quite a few servants in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law."

Xie Youwei was very happy to see Jiang Shuwan.

"Sister-in-law."

Xie Huaiyu remained calm as always, though a smile played in his eyes.

Surrounded by Xie Huai'an and the others, Jiang Shuwan returned to the house.

"Is the Grand Princess feeling any better, sister-in-law?"

Xie Youwei was quite worried about the Grand Princess.

“Grandmother is much better. She's the one who called me back. She heard that Huaiyu passed the imperial examination with top honors and gave Huaiyu and you a lot of things.”

"I have one too?" Xie Youwei was flattered.

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

After Jiang Shuwan returned, the General's Mansion was filled with laughter and joy.

Xie Youwei clung to Jiang Shuwan, only reluctantly leaving after dinner.

Xie Huai'an was jealous all day because Xie Youwei and Jiang Shuwan ignored him.

Xie Huai'an washed up early that evening and lay in bed waiting.

After Jiang Shuwan finished washing up, Feiyun and the others went out, and she went to the inner room alone.

She sat down in front of the bronze mirror, picked up a box, opened it, and began to apply the product to her face and neck.

The ointment in this box has whitening and moisturizing effects; one box is worth a fortune.

After everything was tidied up, Jiang Shuwan went to bed.

As soon as Jiang Shuwan lay down on the bed, Xie Huai'an smelled a fragrance. He was used to this smell, and he hadn't been able to sleep soundly for the past two days without it.

Seeing Xie Huai'an pressing down on her, Jiang Shuwan hurriedly got down to business.

"Huaiyu has achieved the highest score in the imperial examination. Should we hold a banquet for him?"

What's the explanation for this?

"There's no particular explanation, it's just a celebration."

"It's up to you."

After Xie Huai'an finished speaking, he hurriedly pressed the person down on his body.

Jiang Shuwan hugged Xie Huai'an with both arms.

...(omitted, please interpret as needed)...

The next day, Xie Huai'an opened his eyes and saw Jiang Shuwan's sleeping face. He couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and kissed the person in his arms, then reluctantly got up and let go of her.

When Jiang Shuwan woke up, Xie Huai'an had already been away at court for a long time. She rubbed her waist and then asked Feiyun and the others to come in and serve her.

After she finished getting ready, she heard from Fei Yue that Xie You and Xie Huaiyu were waiting for her in the front hall. Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan hurriedly went to the front hall.

When Jiang Shuwan arrived, Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu bowed to her. She felt a little embarrassed to have kept them waiting for so long.

"Didn't I tell you that you can have breakfast in your own yard?"

Xie Youwei smiled shyly and said, "We would like to have a meal with you."

Xie Youwei had always eaten with the Pei family since she was a child. It was lively with many people, but she felt lonely eating alone.

"Serve the food."

It was getting late, and Jiang Shuwan was worried they might be hungry.

After finishing his meal, Xie Huaiyu was about to go back to his room to read when Jiang Shuwan called him back.

"Huaiyu, how about I throw a banquet for you?"

Xie Huaiyu obediently replied, "I will follow your arrangements, sister-in-law."

"Alright, I'll have someone choose an auspicious day and let you know." After saying that, Xie Huaiyu was about to leave when she added, "Huaiyu, you can't just keep reading; it'll hurt your eyes. How about I find you a martial arts instructor?"

Upon hearing about practicing martial arts, Xie Huaiyu's perpetually unchanging face changed.

Jiang Shuwan explained, "I don't want you to be an expert in academics, I just want you to be healthy and strong. Besides studying, you can't neglect other things. You should know that a gentleman needs all six arts."

Xie Huaiyu knew that Jiang Shuwan was doing it for his own good, so he nodded.

Jiang Shuwan thought that if she had a child like Xie Huaiyu in the future, she would save herself a lot of trouble.

Xie Youwei asked, "Will Xinyi come to the banquet at your house, sister-in-law?"

"We will definitely send an invitation to the Marquis of Xuanping's residence at that time."

Xie Youwei was very happy to hear that Yan Xinyi could come.

Jiang Shuwan consulted someone about the auspicious date and finally decided on the banquet seven days later. After confirming the guest list with Xie Huai'an, Jiang Shuwan personally wrote the invitations and had her servants deliver them one by one.
