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

Jiang Shuwan left without stopping for a moment.

"Come back! Jiang Shuwan, come back here!" Gu Pinlan roared, gripping the wooden railing as she watched Jiang Shuwan walk further and further away, until she could no longer see her.

"Why did you tell me all this? You're so cruel! How could my mediocre older sister have given birth to such a cunning daughter like you!" Gu Pinglan cried as she spoke.

Sixteen years have passed. She has been planning for sixteen years, and for those sixteen years she has been nothing but a joke.

"Jiang Shuwan, you're ruthless. You let me know the truth before you die."

After shouting those words, Gu Pinglan slammed her head against the wall. Her body fell to the ground, and blood flowed down her forehead.

When Madam Gu arrived, she was startled because Gu Pinglan was lying on the ground with her face covered in blood and her eyes wide open.

Aunt Hui was also startled when she saw it.

The two sisters supported each other.

The jailer saw this and quickly opened the door, reaching out to check his breathing.

"Quickly tell the adults that the criminal Gu Pinglan has committed suicide."

When Gu heard that her second sister had died, she cried.

Aunt Hui also shed tears.

"The prisoner was fine just now, how could he suddenly commit suicide?" the prison guard wondered.

Seeing the Xuan paper on the ground, Madam Gu asked, "Has someone been here just now?"

Thinking about the relationship between Jiang Shuwan and the Gu family, the jailer said, "Princess Yongning came by, but she just left not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's expression turned icy.

Although they had a rift, they were still sisters. Knowing that Gu Pinglan was to be executed the next day, Madam Gu and Aunt Hui accompanied her on her final journey. Unexpectedly...

Madam Gu emerged from the prison with a grim expression. She got into the carriage and said, "To the General's Mansion."

The coachman was ordered to drive the carriage.

Aunt Hui looked at her eldest sister in surprise, "What are we going to the General's Mansion for?"

Madam Gu remained silent with a gloomy expression.

Aunt Hui guessed what was going on and said, "It was Second Sister who committed suicide because she couldn't think straight. It has nothing to do with Shu Wan."

Gu remained silent.

Aunt Hui was extremely anxious; she wished she could jump off the carriage and warn Jiang Shuwan.

The carriage arrived at the general's mansion quickly.

As soon as Gu got off the carriage, she walked quickly. Aunt Hui saw this and hurriedly went forward to try to stop her eldest sister.

Along the way, Aunt Hui tried to persuade Gu Shi many times, but Gu Shi wouldn't listen.

The servants of the General's Mansion recognized Madam Gu because they had seen her before, and they quickly bowed to her upon seeing her.

"Lady of the Marquis of Dongping".

Where is Jiang Shuwan?!

Madam Gu was furious, and the servants, fearing trouble, quickly said, "The General's wife has gone out and has not yet returned."

Aunt Hui responded, "Eldest sister Shu Wan hasn't returned yet, why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?"

"No need, I'll wait here." Madam Gu insisted; she was determined to see Jiang Shuwan today.

One of the servants saw this and immediately ran to report it.

In fact, Jiang Shuwan had returned. She had only been back for a short time when the servants saw that Madam Gu looked unwell, so they lied.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan sighed and then got up to see Madam Gu.

"Madam, I heard that Lady Hou is not feeling well. Perhaps we should meet another day?" Fei Yue advised, knowing Gu Shi's temper and fearing that her mistress might be harmed.

"There's no escaping it. If today comes, tomorrow will come. I'll have to see her eventually."

Jiang Shuwan knew that the reason why Madam Gu was so angry must be because of her second aunt's matter.

Feiyue stopped trying to stop her, but she made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would protect her master.

When Jiang Shuwan arrived at the front hall, Madam Gu was sitting in the main seat with a cold expression.

Aunt Hui sat anxiously on the lower left. When she saw Jiang Shuwan, she kept winking at her, trying to get her to leave.

Jiang Shuwan smiled at her and then said, "Mother, Aunt, what brings you here?"

"Why can't I come to your residence?" Gu's voice was icy.

Jiang Shuwan calmly replied, "I didn't mean that. It's just that I've been married for over a year, and this seems to be the second time my mother has come."

When Gu met Jiang Shuwan's gaze, she quickly looked away. Those eyes were deep and wise, as if they could see through everything. Gu disliked those eyes the most.

"How can you be so heartless! She's your own aunt!" Madam Gu scolded her.

"She poisoned my grandmother first, and everything she has today is her own fault."

Madam Gu looked at her in disbelief, "That's your blood relative, your own aunt!"

“She harmed my grandmother, who was also my blood relative, the grandmother who raised me from childhood!” Jiang Shuwan paused for a moment and said, “Have you forgotten how she plotted against you?”

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's face instantly darkened, and Aunt Hui, seeing this, stood up in fright and stood between the two.

"Speak properly, don't rush."

Madam Gu shoved Aunt Hui away, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, your father and I wouldn't have argued, and that bitch wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation!"

The Gu family blamed all of this on Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan never expected that she could be blamed for this.

"Yes, it's all my fault. I think the worst thing I could have done was to be alive, so I wouldn't have come into your sight!"

Madam Gu glared at her and said, "You're right, how come it was your aunt who died, not you!"

Aunt Hui looked at Madam Gu in astonishment after hearing this, "Eldest sister, how could you say such a thing!"

Jiang Shuwan's eyes were firm as she said in a cold voice, "Since that's the case, we'll sever our mother-daughter relationship. From now on, we have no relation."

"Fine, from this moment on, we are no longer mother and daughter. You are not allowed to set foot in the Marquis of Dongping's territory again." After saying this, Madam Gu left angrily.

Aunt Hui didn't stop her. She said to Jiang Shuwan, "Your mother must have been traumatized when she saw your second aunt die today. Don't take it seriously. I'll go and comfort her."

Jiang Shuwan said calmly, "Aunt, there's no need to say anything more. Gu Shi and I have severed all ties and are no longer mother and daughter."

Aunt Hui wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, she didn't know what to say.

"Auntie is leaving now, I'll come see you another day." After saying that, she gave Jiang Shuwan a sympathetic look and left.

Feiyue looked at her master with concern.

"lady……"

Jiang Shuwan waved her hand, then walked towards her courtyard with a normal expression.

Feiyue followed closely behind her, afraid that something might happen to her.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Jiang Shuwan locked herself inside, forbidding anyone from entering.

Feiyue looked anxious outside, then said to Feiyun, "Go and send someone to invite the general here."

"it is good."

Right now, it seems only the general can persuade the lady.

Upon receiving the news, Xie Huai'an took leave and rode back to his residence.

Feiyun was waiting at the door. When she saw Xie Huai'an, she told him what had just happened.

Xie Huai'an frowned and hurried back to Mingxiang Garden.

Feiyue stood anxiously guarding the door. When she saw Xie Huai'an, she bowed to him.

Xie Huai'an pushed open the door and entered the room.

Jiang Shuwan sat quietly on the stool, staring blankly out the window.

Xie Huai'an put his hand on her shoulder.

Jiang Shuwan snapped out of her daze, looked up, and was somewhat surprised to see him. "Why are you back?"

Xie Huai'an smiled and said softly, "I came back early today because I had nothing else to do."
