backyard.
Gu Jiangli was led there by a servant.
Xie Shiyan was drinking tea in the backyard, his face indifferent and his eyebrows furrowed with anger.
Upon seeing her, Xie Shiyan slightly raised his eyebrows, and before the servants could even leave, he asked directly:
What are you thinking?
Gu Jiangli knew what he meant by the question, so she shrugged and replied:
"Of course, it's only natural for her to become the Xie family's general's wife. Isn't that what we planned from the beginning?"
Xie Shiyan suddenly stood up and took a big stride, moving as fast as the wind to a position about a fist's width away from Gu Jiangli.
Their eyes met, and it wasn't hard to see Xie Shiyan's anger.
“Even if you don’t get pregnant, you can still be my wife if I want to. You don’t need to agree to your grandmother’s unreasonable request and make things more complicated.”
"Oh? Is Shi Yan feeling sorry for me?" Gu Jiangli joked.
Xie Shiyan frowned and took a step back. "You're overthinking it."
Seeing Gu Jiangli's nonchalant smile, Xie Shiyan regained his composure.
What did your grandmother say to you?
"Oh, the old lady said she likes me very much and has high hopes for me. She wants me to get along well with you so that she can hold her great-grandchild soon."
Even the usually violent Xie Shiyan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, "...Nonsense."
He knew his grandmother well; even if she liked someone a lot, she would never say such things to that person directly.
"You don't believe me?"
“Grandmother values status the most, which is why Liu has been disliked for so many years. If she were to threaten you today and tell you to get out of the Xie residence, it might be somewhat believable.”
"But the old lady really didn't make me get out of the Xie family mansion. She was very kind to me and was a very loving elder."
“Kind-hearted?” No one had ever described Xie’s grandmother that way.
"Shiyan, as long as the old lady doesn't forcibly kick me out, it proves that General Xie and Madam Liu won't have a peaceful life from now on. Isn't that what you want?"
Xie Shiyan remained silent.
Gu Jiangli then added, "As for the children..."
She deliberately drew out the last syllable of her sentence before continuing, "I won't force Shi Yan to do anything she doesn't want to do."
"What?"
Xie Shiyan stared at Gu Jiangli in utter astonishment, completely unable to believe that such provocative words had come from her mouth.
Her behavior was exactly the same as that of the old men who harass girls in brothels.
Before he could even react, Gu Jiangli's figure had already disappeared into the distance.
"You have so many rooms! Which one should I stay in?"
Xie Shiyan gritted his teeth, "You'll live on the floor!"
Gu Jiangli turned around, "Wow, you can be so heartless?"
After joking around for a while, she still had a servant take her to Xie Shiyan's room.
Since they are husband and wife, it's natural that they can't sleep in separate rooms.
She calmed down and thought about it.
The Xie family truly lived up to its reputation as a den of dragons and tigers.
I wonder what General Xie and Lady Liu will do to deal with her.
Not only in her home, but also outside.
The emperor's daughter was deeply in love with Xie Shiyan.
The way she looked at me with such hatred that day, it was impossible for me to do nothing.
She needs to be prepared for both possibilities and be ready to deal with any crisis at any time.
This is really tough to fight!
She couldn't help but sigh in her mind.
Don't worry, dear, Zizai is always with you. In case of danger or emergency, Zizai will warn you immediately!
[The system has been upgraded now. If someone is plotting against you, Zizai will issue a warning!]
"Oh? So, you mean I can foresee potential crises?"
[Yes, dear! Isn't that a very user-friendly upgrade? You'll be able to sense when a conspiracy is brewing, allowing you to prepare in advance.]
Gu Jiangli nodded in satisfaction.
After going through so much, her system has finally made substantial progress.
Unexpectedly, her happiness was short-lived when a "ding-dong" sound suddenly appeared in her mind!
【warn!】
Gu Jiangli stared blankly: "...Huh?"
Someone is plotting against you; please take precautions in advance.
[Note: This crisis originates outside the Xie residence.]
Gu Jiangli helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Outside the Xie residence, there's only that princess, what else is there to guess?
"Well, I haven't even gotten comfortable yet, and danger has already struck."
[It's not a big problem; I'm sure you can handle it.]
Gu Jiangli remained silent, gazing at the sky outside the window.
If the princess were to make a move against her, where would she begin?
————
The Imperial Palace.
Li, the deputy general, and his entourage, who had just finished reporting the military situation to the emperor, were stopped as soon as they stepped out of the palace gate.
The one who stopped them was none other than Princess Jinghe, the emperor's most beloved daughter.
"You lot, don't rush off. Father has finished asking his questions, but I haven't asked mine yet."
The group was on high alert, as they had heard about Princess Jinghe's temperament from the battlefield.
Arrogant and domineering, unreasonable.
Unfortunately, she was the emperor's darling daughter, and the emperor always granted her every request.
The group of people bowed their heads cautiously, hoping to extricate themselves from Princess Jinghe's clutches as soon as possible.
"Please ask, Your Highness, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
"Nothing else, I just want to know about Gu Jiangli. Who sent her to the military camp? Why was she sent there? Why does Brother Ayan like her so much? Please explain everything to me clearly."
