The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Zhao Xuan saw Jiang Fei in a waist-cut robe from afar, she knew that the person sitting in the green-curtain carriage was the fifth master of the Jiang family, her own uncle.

Two carriages were parked side by side, one in front of the other. "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Official business." Jiang Nansheng didn't say much about the trip, so Zhao Xuan didn't ask any more questions. Chu Jie'er would not have sent an invitation to the Jiang family for her coming-of-age ceremony.

When Zhao Xuan learned about Zuo Hongwen's life experience from her mother that day, she wanted to talk to Gu Jinchu about it. But since she knew that she was having her coming-of-age ceremony, it was she who took the initiative to propose to be the main guest.

Jiang Nansheng held the cup in his hand and spoke slowly across the two carriages, "Is the coming-of-age ceremony over?"

"I came out after the ceremony. I didn't want to steal the limelight from Chu Jie'er." Zhao Xuan recalled the fanatical eyes of the Gu family, and she began to worry that Gu Jinchu would not be able to explain to his family.

Then I heard my uncle continue to ask, "Do you remember what the hairpin used in the coming-of-age ceremony looked like?"

Of course Zhao Xuan remembered. She was not only Chu Jie'er's main guest, but also her hairpin bearer. She smiled happily:

"It's a golden hairpin inlaid with jade, ruby ​​and sapphire and double beads. I heard from Chu Jieer that her grandmother prepared it for her long ago."

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and smiled, only a trace of smile appeared on his lips, "Okay, I have something to discuss with Lord Qin, so I won't delay the princess's trip."

Only then did Zhao Xuan notice that there was another person in the carriage beside him. He was Qin Lang, the Jinyiwei who subdued the Fuso people in Huitong Hall that day.

She put away the smile on her face and nodded slightly at them. The curtain beside her fell, and then the sound of carriage clattering was heard.

......

After the guests at the coming-of-age ceremony knew that the princess was currently at Gu's house, the banquet became quiet, without the lively atmosphere of toasting each other as usual.

Gu Huanian's face was beaming, and he didn't say a word about the princess being the main guest, as if everyone had seen it wrong.

When Gu Li saw the graceful princess just now, she recalled her extravagant dream of Hui'er graduating from high school and marrying a princess.

"Chu Jie'er, you are such a fool. Why don't you consult with the elders at home?"

"It is a great blessing for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come. We must prepare a table of food and make careful arrangements so that we do not appear to be disrespectful to the Gu family!"

Knowing that the princess had not met any member of the Gu family, after sending away all the guests today, Gu Li expressed her dissatisfaction in her words, but she didn't want to say it too bluntly.

The lady who was only thinking about living a rich and prosperous life in the future did not notice why Li Xianglian and her daughter had disappeared.

The guests that Gu Huanian saw off were his colleagues who served in the court, as well as some of his former classmates.

Sitting in Sui'an Hall were the women of the Gu clan, as well as the Zheng family's matriarch and her eldest daughter-in-law.

Gu Jinchu lowered her eyes and saw through her grandmother's thoughts at a glance. She leaned forward and said, "It's my granddaughter's fault that you blame me. The weather is hot, so it's better for me not to get angry."

Aunt Wu looked at Gu Li who was sitting at the head of the table and said, "When my eldest sister had her coming-of-age ceremony, Princess Pingning was invited as the main guest. Grandmother gave her a red envelope of 2000 taels. I wonder if Madam Gu is so anxious to see the eldest princess, but she still hasn't followed the etiquette?"

Gu Li was speechless for a moment and never mentioned the eldest princess again.

The Gu clan members didn't know who was speaking, so why did he speak in such a loud tone?

Seeing this, Zheng gave everyone a brief introduction, "This is Chu Jie'er's aunt, her maiden family is the Wu family, the deputy commander of the grain transport."

For many people, the deputy commander of the grain transport system was a very high official position, which came with real power and great wealth.

When he looked at Madam Zheng's eyes, they changed. It was such a blessing to be able to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Zhou pulled her little daughter beside her and gave her a warning look.

Sister Yu, Sister Chu and Sister Yan can quarrel behind closed doors on weekdays, but the eldest wife cannot offend the Zheng family directly.

Zheng Liu and Gu Li sat on the Luohan bed together. They bent down, took her hand and said with a smile:

"My dear, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not. It's okay for me to keep it in my heart, but it will be bad if it delays my dear."

Gu Li felt that what she said was incomprehensible. What did Zheng Liu mean? There were not enough members of the Zheng family who had any say in the Gu family's affairs!

Who covered her mouth again?

Madam Zheng Liu continued, "My dear, I've noticed that you haven't been in a good mental state these days. I just happened to meet a doctor at home. Why don't we ask him to take your pulse?"

After hearing this, Gu Li suddenly felt short of breath!

She understood what Zheng Liu said individually, but she didn’t understand when they were put together!

Is Zheng Liu implying that she is sick?

The Zheng family is coming here to fight and kill to intimidate the Gu family, right?

In such a crude and undisguised way!

The Zheng family is a merchant family that doesn't care about face. She comes from a scholarly family, so naturally she can't fall out with them.

Mrs. Gu Li had a gloomy face. "Mrs. Zheng is worrying too much. Doctor Fang from Liushu Hutong has known the Li family for many years. He has always been the one taking care of the family. There is no need to bother those wandering doctors."

Zheng Liu has been in the business world for so many years and has seen all kinds of storms. She would not take Gu Li's weird behavior seriously.

Holding her hand, he continued with a smile, "Wu Zizhen is the eldest son of the late head of the Imperial Hospital. He is now at home in mourning. He is best at treating difficult and complicated diseases."

"My dear relatives, it's okay to have health problems, but it's taboo to seek medical treatment. If you delay, it will affect your whole life..."

Gu Li only felt a darkness in front of her eyes. The old hag's words seemed to indicate illness.

She is sick, her whole family is sick!

He pounded his chest and took a sip of tea from the cup on the small table. The talkative daughters-in-law and old women in the past became as dumb as quails when they heard about the background of Zheng family's daughter-in-law.

Either they are cautious or they are flattering.

It was only then that Mrs. Gu realized that Li Xianglian and Gu Yan were not in the hall. She frowned and asked, "Where are Madam Ru and the Fourth Miss?"

Thinking of her niece's bulging belly, her tense face relaxed a little, and she turned to look at Zheng Liu:

"Sister, you may not know yet, Xianglian is pregnant again, I guess that child is back..."

As expected, when this was mentioned, the smile on Mrs. Zheng Liu's face gradually disappeared, and Mrs. Gu Li suddenly felt that her breathing became smoother.

At this time, Gu Yan stumbled in, knelt in front of Gu Li and begged, "Grandma, please save my mother. The baby in her belly is about to die!"
