Liu looked like she was enjoying the show, "Second brother, who is this?"

"Ah, she's Li Xinru, a doctor. She was a great contributor to our successful suppression of the bandits this time. Her family was destroyed by the bandits, and she had no one to rely on, so I brought her back. Please, sister-in-law, arrange a place for her to live."

"Oh, then my second brother must thank Miss Li very much. Miss Li is our Jiang family's benefactor. I will definitely take good care of her."

Liu covered her lips and smiled happily, looking at Yu Shulan with a bit of pride.

Li Xinru bowed slowly and politely.

[What doctor? She's clearly the bandit leader. Daddy was ordered to suppress the bandits, but he actually treated the bandit leader as his benefactor. How foolish!]

Bandit leader? Yu Shulan originally thought that this was a scheming woman who was trying to climb up the social ladder, but she never expected that this weak and delicate woman was actually the real bandit leader.

No wonder her husband was deceived. Even she couldn't have imagined it.

So what is she doing in the mansion?

Yu Shulan felt a chill down her spine. Did she come to the capital in such a disguise to seek revenge, or did she have some other motive?

Feeling her gaze, Li Xinru also looked over and nodded slightly.

"I guess this must be the General's wife. She is indeed a stunning beauty."

"Miss Li has really good taste. This is my second brother's wife. She is from a noble family and is naturally both talented and beautiful. It is really unfair for her to be admitted into our Jiang family."

Mrs. Liu said sarcastically, "No one in our Jiang family can catch her eye."

"What do you mean, sister-in-law? Shulan has always treated everyone in the mansion with sincerity and has always been respectful to you, sister-in-law. How could there be any statement of disdain?"

Even though Jiang Weizhen was a smart guy, he understood the meaning of Liu's words and immediately spoke up to defend her.

From the time they got married until now, Yu Shulan has had nothing to say about the Jiang family.

Before he left, his sister-in-law and Yu Shulan were getting along fine. How come they suddenly became estranged?

"As the eldest sister-in-law, I can't say anything. I'll go arrange accommodation for Miss Li. Second brother, you should go visit mother."

"What happened to Mother?"

Jiang Weizhen asked anxiously.

Liu glanced at Yu Shulan without saying anything.

Jiang Weizhen didn't ask them any more questions and went straight to the backyard to visit Old Madam Jiang.

"Mom?" Jiang Chuyuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yu Shulan, "You all should go back and do your own things. It's okay."

Then she looked at Li Xinru again and left.

Looking at her back, Li Xinru was thoughtful, knowing that this general's wife was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

"Don't be offended, Miss Li. My sister-in-law has always been unruly. It's only because my second brother has a good temper that he indulges her. If it were someone else, he would have divorced such a wife long ago."

Liu was complaining with exaggeration, she was so happy right now.

After being angry with Yu Shulan for the past few months, I can finally vent it.

Now Jiang Weizhen has brought the woman back home again, let’s see how proud she is.

Thinking of this, she looked at Li Xinru with even more attentiveness.

Here, Yu Shulan carried Jiang Qingwan back to the west courtyard. She didn't want to argue with Old Madam Jiang.

If she wants to sue herself, then give her a chance and let her sue properly. She can't have pretended to be sick for a whole day in vain.

Jiang Weizhen was gone for an hour before returning to the west courtyard.

He came back full of anger, but when he saw his quiet and virtuous wife teasing their four-month-old daughter on the bed, his heart softened instantly.

He walked forward and called softly, "Wanwan, I'm your daddy. Come and let daddy hug you."

Jiang Qingwan seemed not to hear her words and turned her body to the side.

[This foolish father has let a wolf into the house and made my mother sad and upset. I won't be close to him.]

Yu Shulan was very happy to see her precious daughter being so loyal to her.

From now on, she will have Wanwan's support and will be more confident.

"This..." Seeing his daughter resisting him, Jiang Weizhen looked at his wife awkwardly, seeking help.

Yu Shulan curled her lips and sneered, "I thought my husband was working hard to suppress bandits outside, and he was very tired. Today, it seems that I was worrying too much. My husband is really living a comfortable life outside. If it weren't for escorting prisoners, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to come back."

"Madam, you have wronged me. I wish I could wipe out the bandits in one day and come back early to accompany you and Wanwan."

Jiang Weizhen was aggrieved. "I missed my wife so much that I couldn't sleep. This is the first time I've been away from her for such a long time since we got married, and it happened to be right before she gave birth. I was so worried."

This is true. After they got married, they have never been separated. Even when they went to the war, Yu Shulan followed him to the battlefield. This time, the five months they have been apart is really the longest time.

Even Yu Shulan herself felt a little uncomfortable.

"What about Li Xinru? You brought her back to Beijing, are you planning to take her as a concubine?"

"Madam, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the children?" Jiang Weizhen's old face turned red.

"I have nothing wrong with Li Xinru. I don't have any evil intentions."

"She said she had nowhere to go and wanted to visit the capital, so I brought her back. She said she had never been to the capital before and would leave after staying here for a few months."

"How many months? How long exactly? You brought a woman back home so openly, have you ever thought about what people outside will say?"

Yu Shulan was very disappointed with his daughter. No wonder her daughter always said that he was stupid.

He is very smart in war, but becomes stubborn in life.

Sure enough, even after she said this, Jiang Weizhen still didn't think there was anything wrong.

"I have a clear conscience. No matter what others say, as long as my wife understands me, that's all."

"What if Miss Li says her reputation is ruined and insists you marry her?"

[Mother is truly clever. This is exactly what Li Xinru did in her previous life. She originally wanted to drive a wedge between my parents, but unexpectedly, their bond was stronger than gold. Although her tactics caused some misunderstandings between them, they didn't affect their deep bond.]

[Mother noticed something was wrong with her and wanted to send her away, but Li Xinru, citing damage to her reputation, insisted that Father take her as a concubine, even threatening to commit suicide.]

[As a last resort, although Daddy didn't take her as a concubine, he tacitly allowed her to stay in the mansion. She also secretly colluded with the eldest wife and planted the evidence against Daddy in his study.]

Sure enough, Li Xinru came here for revenge. Jiang Weizhen destroyed her village, so she wanted to bring unrest to the Jiang family as well.

Jiang Weizhen was stunned and replied hesitantly, "Then Miss Li doesn't look like that kind of person?"

"Of course not. You only know her face but not her heart. How well do you know her?"

Li Xinru's appearance is so deceptive.
