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

Instantly, the people in the room lowered their voices considerably, all straining to hear what was happening.

Rumors circulated that Jiang Shuwan had severed ties with her parents, but no one said why, which piqued everyone's curiosity.

The Grand Princess looked at Lin Ruoqing and asked, "What rumors are you referring to?"

"Jiang Shuwan has committed an outrageous act by severing ties with her parents."

Lin Ruoqing finished speaking with great confidence, thinking that the Grand Princess would definitely be angry and punish Jiang Shuwan if she heard it.

To everyone's surprise, the Grand Princess simply said, "That's all."

Lin Ruoqing exclaimed in shock, "Isn't the Grand Princess angry? It's unheard of for children to sever ties with their parents on their own initiative."

"It has never happened before, but this was done with my permission. I didn't say anything, yet you have such a big opinion." The Grand Princess looked at her sharply.

Lin Ruoqing was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the Grand Princess, because her eyes were too terrifying.

Everyone was shocked; they hadn't expected that the Grand Princess had given permission for this.

Jiang Shurou, quick-witted, stood up and said, "This is a matter between our Jiang family and has nothing to do with others. This is how Madam Huian disciplines her daughter-in-law. How dare she talk nonsense in front of Grandmother!"

Ye, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, was surprised to be called up. She lowered her head, walked to the center, and knelt down. "Please forgive me, Your Highness, my daughter-in-law Lin has offended you with her nonsense."

“Lin does need to be disciplined. Liu Hua will send a nanny to the Huian Marquis’s residence later to teach Lin proper manners.”

Granny Zhou nodded, "Yes."

Lin Ruoqing never expected that instead of getting revenge on Jiang Shuwan, she would end up getting herself involved.

Then, Granny Zhou had Lin Ruoqing taken away, and Madam Ye quickly followed.

"I imagine everyone wants to know what happened and why Shu Wan severed ties with the Marquis's mansion."

Many people present wanted to nod in agreement, but they all held back. Unlike Lin Ruoqing, who recklessly spouted nonsense in front of the Grand Princess, they were not like her. Everyone present could see that she was just watching the spectacle, but watching the spectacle was not done in the way she did.

“Wan’er has grown up by my side since she was a child. A few days ago, someone dared to poison me. After Shu Wan found out, she found out the murderer and handed him over to the authorities. However, some people spoke up for the murderer regardless of distance, and even said hurtful things to her own daughter. Therefore, I have decided to make her sever ties with the Marquis’s Mansion to avoid further heartbreak.”

Rumors have been circulating lately that the Grand Princess knows that she came today to support Jiang Shuwan.

After the Grand Princess finished speaking, she looked at a lady not far away.

"Madam Wang, please make sure to tell Lord Wang what I said today. If he has any questions, he can come to the Grand Princess's residence to see me at any time. There is no need to bring these trivial matters to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Madam Wang nodded repeatedly, cursing her husband in her heart a dozen times over. Of all people to offend, why did he have to offend the Grand Princess? Could she possibly afford to offend her?

Gu Shi and Jiang Shurou had no face to stay any longer.

Jiang Shuwan took Feiyue to change clothes, and on the way back they ran into He Zhilin.

Princess Yongning.

He Zhilin raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

"What brings you here, Young Master He?"

Jiang Shuwan kept her distance from him, several steps away.

"There have been many rumors circulating recently, and I hope Your Highness will not pay them any mind."

Jiang Shuwan found his words somewhat amusing. What right did he have to stand here and say such things to her?

Jiang Shuwan glanced at him, then led Feiyue around him and left.

Was she blind before? She's starting to doubt her past judgment more and more.

He Zhilin didn't know why she suddenly got angry, even though he had tried to comfort her out of kindness.

He Zhilin knew that his actions were improper, but for some reason, he felt compelled to say a few words to Jiang Shuwan whenever he looked at her.

When Jiang Shuwan returned to the palace, she sensed that the atmosphere was strange, especially since everyone was looking at her with pity.

She looked around and found that Gu Shi, Jiang Shurou, and Lin Ruoqing were missing.

"What just happened?" Jiang Shuwan asked Song Wenyin in a low voice.

Song Wenying told Jiang Shuwan everything that had just happened.

Jiang Shuwan had been wondering why her grandmother had come today; it turned out she was there to support her.

"Shu Wan, I'm married now. If you have any problems, you must tell me. Don't be afraid of implicating me. I'm not afraid."

Although the Grand Princess didn't say much, Song Wenying knew that Jiang Shuwan must have suffered a great injustice, otherwise the Grand Princess wouldn't have made her break off her engagement.

"okay, I get it."

With the Grand Princess's clarification, no one said anything about Jiang Shuwan being unfilial anymore, and no one dared to laugh at her; her powerful backer was still there.

**

A few days later, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the General's Mansion. Xie Jingshan got off the carriage first, and then reached out to help Pei Shi.

Pei Shi and Xie Jingshan have returned.

Upon seeing Pei Shi, Xie Youwei ran to her side and hugged her, "Mother!"

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huaiyu stood to the side, their faces beaming with smiles.

Jiang Shuwan looked at Pei Shi and saw that she had gotten darker, but she hadn't lost weight.

Xie Jingshan was the same.

Jiang Shuwan bowed to the two of them.

"Mother, Father, you must be tired from your long journey. Please sit down and rest."

"Not tired at all, you're the one who's had a hard time. It must have been really tough for you to take care of those two." Madam Pei said affectionately, holding Jiang Shuwan's hand.

Madam Pei looked at the three of them carefully. Jiang Shuwan had a rosy complexion, which was good. Xie Youwei and Xie Huaiyu had grown quite a bit taller. She was very happy to see the children. When she was away, the children were what she missed the most.

Madam Pei also prepared gifts for all four of her children. Although they weren't very expensive, they were all carefully selected by her.

Xie Jingshan returned with a box full of books.

It was a rare occasion that the entire Xie family was present at the dinner table that evening.

Xie Youwei was the happiest. Ever since Pei returned, she had been chattering nonstop. Although Xie Huaiyu didn't say much, it was clear that he was in a good mood.

Jiang Shuwan enjoyed the atmosphere of eating with the Xie family, something she had never experienced before.

After washing up that evening, Xie Huai'an lay down next to Jiang Shuwan in his pajamas. When Jiang Shuwan saw him coming, she moved away. You can't blame her; Xie Huai'an was like a big furnace. It was comfortable to hug him in winter, but not in summer.

Since the beginning of summer, Xie Huai'an has clearly felt that he has fallen out of favor. In winter, as soon as he gets into bed, Jiang Shuwan will take the initiative to snuggle up to him.

If the lady doesn't take the initiative, then he'll have to.

Jiang Shuwan moved to the very back, unable to move any further, and looked at Xie Huai'an.

"What is the general doing?"

"Can't I sit next to the princess?"

Xie Huai'an's eyes lost their usual calm and indifference, and instead showed a hint of grievance.

Jiang Shuwan knew he was up to something again, and the longer they spent together, the more she discovered Xie Huai'an's multifaceted nature.

Although she sometimes felt powerless against him, she still quite liked him.

"Mother and Father are back, why don't we go out and travel for a few days?"

Xie Huai'an has never gone out alone with Jiang Shuwan.
