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

After Emperor Mingde left, the officials stood up one after another.

Xie Huai'an and Lord Wang's eyes met again.

There are many things Xie Huai'an cannot say now that he is inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Lord Wang glared at Xie Huai'an and then turned and left.

He Zhilin watched Xie Huai'an from the side. He had heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Shuwan and the Dongping Marquis's Mansion in the past two days, and now he felt a little more at ease.

Xie Huai'an ignored the stares of others and walked out with his spine straight.

Today, the Marquis of Dongping took leave and did not attend court, so he is unaware of what happened in the court.

Emperor Mingde had spoken, and after that, no one in the court dared to impeach Jiang Shuwan. Although this was not a common occurrence, it was ultimately a family matter and had nothing to do with others.

Before she knew it, it was the day of the eldest prince's wedding. Because of the Pei family, she did not bring Xie Youwei.

Jiang Shuwan wore a light pink gauze dress today, looking elegant and graceful.

She had just finished tidying up when Xie Huai'an returned from the courtyard.

Xie Huai'an usually wears narrow-sleeved clothes, but today he changed his style and wore a silver-white round-necked robe. His black hair was tied up and he wore a white jade and silver crown, making him look noble and aloof.

Jiang Shuwan was in a great mood after seeing Xie Huai'an. "I'm all packed. Let's go."

"it is good."

The eldest prince has already moved out of the palace and established his own residence, but the wedding ceremony is still being held in the palace today.

After entering the palace, Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an parted ways. Jiang Shuwan went to the women's quarters, where the ladies all bowed to her.

"Shu Wan".

Song Wenyin saw her walk up to her.

"Wenyin."

The two women hadn't seen each other for several months. Jiang Shuwan noticed that she looked well, so she figured she must be doing well at the Prince An's residence.

The two of them found a quiet spot to sit down.

Song Wenying asked worriedly, "I heard you've severed ties with the Marquis's mansion, is that true?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

Song Wenying understood Jiang Shuwan; if the Marquis of Dongping and his wife hadn't done something, she would never have done this.

"I heard that someone impeached you in the imperial court, and your General Xie stood up to defend you without saying a word."

Xie Huai'an had never told Jiang Shuwan about this, so she really didn't know.

Seeing Jiang Shuwan's reaction, Song Wenying teased, "Why didn't your general come to you to claim credit?"

Jiang Shuwan chuckled, "I really didn't know about this. I guess he didn't tell me because he was afraid of bothering me."

“I was worried that you had married the wrong person, but now it seems that you have married the right person.”

Song Wenying had witnessed the changes in Jiang Shuwan over the past year.

Jiang Shuwan smiled but didn't say anything.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Madam Gu arrived.

All eyes in the hall were on Jiang Shuwan and Madam Gu. The news of Jiang Shuwan severing ties with the Marquis of Dongping and his wife was the hottest topic in the capital recently.

Upon seeing this, Song Wenying's smile vanished, and she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Shuwan beside her.

Jiang Shuwan's expression remained normal.

Madam Gu naturally saw Jiang Shuwan, but she acted as if she hadn't seen her, pulled Jiang Shurou to sit down, and then chatted with the lady next to her with a smile.

Jiang Shurou noticed Jiang Shuwan out of the corner of her eye. She didn't expect Jiang Shuwan to be so ruthless as to sever ties with her own parents.

Song Wenying noticed that Jiang Shurou frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid of upsetting Jiang Shuwan, so she didn't speak.

A short while later, Ye Shi and Lin Ruoqing arrived.

Ye had lost a lot of weight, while Lin Ruoqing looked rosy-cheeked.

The first person Lin Ruoqing saw when she entered the room was Jiang Shuwan. She had come today specifically to see Jiang Shuwan make a fool of herself, but when she saw her, she found that Jiang Shuwan was not as dejected as she had imagined. Instead, she sat gracefully and elegantly to the side, chatting with someone.

Lin Ruoqing sneered inwardly. She thought Jiang Shuwan was just putting on a brave face. How could a woman gain a foothold in her husband's family without the support of her own family?

For a moment, the atmosphere here was somewhat tense.

Then Lady Xuanping arrived with her youngest daughter, Yan Xinyi. She glanced around the room and then walked straight toward Jiang Shuwan.

Lady Xuanping smiled and curtsied, "Greetings, Princess Yongning." Then, noticing that Xie Youwei was not by her side, she asked, "Youwei didn't come today?"

Jiang Shuwan replied, "She wasn't feeling well today, so she didn't come."

"Greetings, Princess Yongning."

Yan Xinyi followed proper etiquette and manners.

Jiang Shuwan looked at her with a smile in her eyes, "Get up quickly."

At first, only Song Wenying took the initiative to speak to Jiang Shuwan. Now that the Lady of Xuanping Marquis has arrived, she is still greeting Jiang Shuwan so warmly. Seeing this, some people have come to Jiang Shuwan's side to bow and talk.

Everyone present was shrewd. Jiang Shuwan's decision to sever ties with her parents had drawn criticism from many scholars and writers, resulting in a poor reputation for her. Consequently, no one wanted to befriend her, fearing that getting close to her would tarnish their own reputation, yet they also didn't want to offend her.

When Gu Shi saw this, her face darkened. Fortunately, Jiang Shurou was sitting next to her. When she noticed her mother's expression was off, she gently reminded her, and Gu Shi calmed down a bit.

A sharp voice rang out, "Grand Princess Zhaorong has arrived."

Everyone stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Grand Princess Zhaorong."

Today, the Grand Princess's hair was neatly combed, and she held a cane, exuding an air of majesty.

"Everyone, get up."

The Grand Princess spoke.

Jiang Shuwan stepped forward to help her up, saying, "Grandmother."

The Grand Princess smiled and took her hand as they sat down in the main seat.

"grandmother."

Seeing this, Jiang Shurou also thought of going to serve her.

The Grand Princess responded calmly upon seeing her, then turned her gaze to Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shurou's smile froze.

As for the Gu family, she didn't dare to go forward at all.

Everyone could see that Jiang Shuwan still held a high position in the Grand Princess's heart, while Gu Shi and Jiang Shurou were not favored.

Lin Ruoqing gritted her teeth, feeling jealous that Jiang Shuwan had someone backing her up.

Judging from the way the Grand Princess treated Jiang Shuwan, she must not know what Jiang Shuwan had done. After all, what old lady would like someone who has severed ties with their parents?

Seeing Jiang Shuwan finally leave the Grand Princess's side, Lin Ruoqing walked over.

"This humble servant greets the Grand Princess."

The Grand Princess looked at Lin Ruoqing, but she did not recognize the person in front of her.

"you are?"

"I am Lin Ruoqing, wife of the second son of the Marquis of Huian."

The Grand Princess, though her face remained impassive, was inwardly displeased upon hearing this, and simply gave a curt reply.

Lin Ruoqing had seized the opportunity, so how could she let it go? She said, "There have been many rumors circulating recently. I wonder if the Grand Princess is aware of them?"

The Grand Princess lowered her voice, "What rumors?"

Those familiar with the Grand Princess know that this is a sign of her displeasure.

Lady Xuanping was standing nearby and immediately interrupted Lin Ruoqing upon hearing her words.

"These are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning to the Grand Princess."

Lin Ruoqing retorted, "What do you mean by trivial matters? It concerns Princess Yongning and Marquis Dongping."

Lady Xuanping instantly disliked Lin Ruoqing, knowing that the other party was deliberately causing trouble.

Madam Gu was surprised that Lin Ruoqing would rush up to the Grand Princess and bring up the matter in front of so many people.
