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

"I remember I was worried about you more than a year ago, but now it seems that His Majesty has good judgment."

Previously, the Grand Princess was worried that the Emperor would only consider the pros and cons and not care about Jiang Shuwan at all, but now it seems that she had misunderstood him.

"Huai'an is not only brave and resourceful, but more importantly, he is upright and kind. He treats those around him the same way, whether it is good to me or not."

Jiang Shuwan felt that Xie Huai'an was a very good person, and she was afraid that whoever married him would not have a bad life.

The Grand Princess smiled and said, "In my opinion, the two of you are destined to be together, otherwise you wouldn't have come together."

Jiang Shuwan was reminded of her previous life by her grandmother's words. In her previous life, she and Xie Huai'an had never met. She wondered what kind of wife he would marry.

**

After dinner, as darkness fell, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an strolled side by side in the garden.

The general's mansion was quite safe, and with Xie Huai'an by her side, Jiang Shuwan didn't have any maids with her; it was just the two of them.

Jiang Shuwan was so worried when her grandmother fell ill last time that she didn't tell Xie Huai'an about it. Now that the murderer has been found, Jiang Shuwan has told Xie Huai'an about it.

Xie Huai'an listened attentively. He hadn't expected that someone would poison the Grand Princess. Fortunately, Jiang Shuwan discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Is the family you mentioned with the surname Wen someone named Wen Yuan?"

Jiang Shuwan asked in surprise, "Yes, how did you know?"

Xie Huai'an patiently said, "You forgot what I told you before, that I investigated the officials related to Xue Feng."

Jiang Shuwan had really forgotten.

"Was the Wen family wronged?"

Xie Huai'an shook his head. "The Wen family has indeed colluded with the enemy."

Jiang Shuwan remained silent. In fact, she had a very vague impression of her second aunt's husband when she was young, but she vaguely remembered that he was a gentle and refined person.

Xie Huai'an said softly, "The Wen family brought this upon themselves; they have no one to blame but themselves."

Jiang Shuwan nodded in agreement, then asked, "Do you have the Wen family's case files?"

Xie Huai'an nodded, "Yes, I'll organize it for you tomorrow."

"it is good."

The two strolled along, with Jiang Shuwan glancing at Xie Huai'an every now and then.

This made Xie Huai'an think there was something on his face.

What's wrong with my face?

"nothing."

Jiang Shuwan felt a little embarrassed after realizing she had been caught.

Seeing her expression, Xie Huai'an decided to tease her.

"There's no one around now, so if you want to watch, just watch openly and no one will notice."

Jiang Shuwan was even more embarrassed now, and said coquettishly, "Who's looking at you? Why are you so narcissistic?"

Xie Huai'an joked, "Hmm, you didn't peek. I wonder who's always staring at me while I'm sleeping."

Jiang Shuwan's face flushed red instantly. "You!"

Jiang Shuwan was observing Xie Huai'an while he was sleeping. Wasn't it because she couldn't sleep and had nothing better to do than stare at the person next to her?

You're pretending to be asleep!

Xie Huai'an chuckled, "I wasn't pretending to be asleep; it's just that some people's gazes were too intense."

"Shut up! Don't say another word!" Jiang Shuwan subconsciously looked around to see if anyone was there.

Xie Huai'an reached out and pulled her into his arms, looking down at her slightly.

There's no one around.

Xie Huai'an has excellent eyesight and hearing. If he says there's no one there, then there's definitely no one there.

Jiang Shuwan raised her small face to meet his eyes and said in a coquettish voice, "Xie Huai'an, you're quite the actor. You're a gentleman who's sparing with words in public, but you act like a scoundrel in private."

"I'm being a scoundrel, but only to you."

Xie Huai'an spoke softly, his warm breath falling on Jiang Shuwan's cheek.

Jiang Shuwan's face grew increasingly red. If it were any other time, she would have pushed him away and started saying things like it was improper. But today, she didn't. She stared straight into Xie Huai'an's eyes.

"If it weren't for me, what kind of woman would you have married, Xie Huai'an?"

Xie Huai'an said softly, "There are no 'ifs,' I've already married you." He then tried to press his lips to yours.

Jiang Shuwan tilted her head back, refusing to let him kiss her.

"I was serious."

Xie Huai'an's eyes crinkled with amusement. "You really want to know?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded. She had never thought about these things before, but now that she had, she really wanted to know.

Xie Huai'an leaned close and whispered two words in her ear.

Jiang Shuwan blushed deeply as she listened.

Seeing this, Xie Huai'an asked, "Do you still want to know?"

As Jiang Shuwan hesitated, Xie Huai'an simply picked her up and carried her towards their courtyard.

People on the road lowered their heads when they saw the two figures.

Jiang Shuwan was exhausted that night, and the question of what kind of woman Xie Huai'an would marry without her had long been forgotten.

**

When Jiang Shuwan woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight.

Jiang Shuwan realized that Xie Huai'an was becoming more and more skilled in this matter, and she was finding it increasingly difficult to handle him.

After she finished breakfast, Feiyue came in with an envelope.

"Madam, this was sent by the general."

Feiyue handed the letter to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan opened the envelope. Inside were some things about the Wen family that she had forgotten, but she didn't expect him to remember them.

After reading the last part, there was a note inside that read, "I see all living beings as grass and trees, but I only see you as a green mountain."

Jiang Shuwan's lips unconsciously curled up after seeing the words on the note.

Feiyun, standing to the side, asked with a smile, "What did the General write that made you so happy?"

Jiang Shuwan pursed her lips and said calmly, "It's nothing." After saying that, she put the note away by herself.

Feiyun winked at Feiyue. She didn't believe it at all. Just now, her master's mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head. It must have been a love poem written by the general. She never expected that the general, who was usually so cold, would write love poems to make his wife happy.

After putting away the note, Jiang Shuwan told Feiyue that she would go to the yamen in the afternoon, as she needed to rest for a while.

**

After lunch, Jiang Shuwan rested for a while before going to the prison to see her second aunt.

In just one day, my second aunt seemed to have aged ten years, and her whole being was devoid of vitality.

When Gu Pinglan saw Jiang Shuwan arrive, she merely raised her eyes briefly before closing them again and refusing to look at her.

"I've come today to show you something."

Gu Pinglan kept her eyes closed.

Jiang Shuwan was not annoyed and continued, "About the Wen family's affairs sixteen years ago."

Gu Pinglan opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Shuwan.

“This is the testimony from back then.” Jiang Shuwan finished speaking and gave Feiyue a wink.

Feiyue handed the items to Gu Pinlan.

Gu Pinglan read it quickly, skimming through it.

"Why did Wen Yuan write the letter of divorce in advance, and why did it just happen to fall into my father's hands?" Jiang Shuwan said calmly.

Gu Pinglan raised her head and glared at her fiercely, "What do you want to say!"

Jiang Shuwan calmly met her eyes. "You guessed it, didn't you?"

Gu Pinglan threw down the paper in her hand and shouted, "No, it's not what you think. Ayuan loves me, he loves me very much..."

Jiang Shuwan raised her voice and said, "Stop deceiving yourself! He's using you, he's been using you from beginning to end!"

Gu Pinglan screamed, "No! No!"

Upon seeing her like this, Jiang Shuwan instantly lost the desire to talk to her anymore, and she left with Feiyue.

Gu Pinglan crawled forward a few steps and shouted, "Don't go!"
