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

In the imperial study, Emperor Jianyuan became furious when looking at the files presented by the Dali Temple.

When Master Shen was still the crown prince, the Shen family did not provide him with any help. Although the marriage between the Jiang and Shen families was groundless, that result was not what he wanted to see.

It can also be said that he was happy to see the Shen family's empire collapse.

But that doesn't mean he would condone his subjects to secretly collude with a certain prince and do things behind his back.

Emperor Jianyuan ordered the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel to thoroughly investigate the matter, and strictly ordered them to be fair and impartial without any deviation.

When Jiang Nansheng came out of the imperial study, the sky was gloomy and the hem of his official robe was rustling in the wind.

Tong Guang, the Minister of Personnel, followed beside him, looking hesitant and not knowing what to say.

In response to the situation in the court today, he suggested that the top scholar be demoted to Jingxiang.

Unexpectedly, within half a day, the top scholar became his colleague, cooperating with the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the murder of Master Shen and the matter of Master Gao.

Everyone knows that Taifu Gao's granddaughter is the future wife of the Second Prince. With the support of the Gao family behind him, the Second Prince is very likely to become the future crown prince.

The Gao family and his disciples naturally follow the lead of Master Gao.

In the previous dynasty, no one could compete with the second prince Zhao Xu for the position of crown prince.

The emperor's decision really shocked all the ministers.

Qin Lang and Zheng Kaicheng were riding on horses outside the Meridian Gate, with a green-curtained carriage parked behind them.

Gu Jinchu sat in the carriage, and through the open window, he smiled and whispered, "I haven't congratulated my third cousin yet."

Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel, fifth rank, conferred personally by the Emperor.

Zheng Kaicheng was not too happy in his heart. He would rather be transferred to a local area. His elders at home also said so.

Judging from today's thrilling situation, the Zheng family still needs someone to serve as an official in Shengjing.

The court is treacherous and full of political struggles. Only the emperor's close ministers can protect their families.

The red top scholar robe on Zheng Kaicheng's body turned into a green official robe with a round collar and right lapel. When he saw Jiang Nansheng appear, he jumped off the horse.

Gu Jinchu didn’t know what Jiang Nansheng said to his third cousin and Qin Lang.

I saw the two of them jump on their horses and gallop away.

She had replaced the luxurious county lady's attire with her everyday dress.

Jiang Nansheng lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage. After he appeared, the two maids, Baizhi and Baishao, looked at each other, lowered their heads tacitly, and looked down at the small space at their feet.

Gu Jinchu poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jiang Nansheng, and asked softly, "What are the third cousin and the others doing?"

Jiang Nansheng pulled her hand over, intertwined their fingers and placed them on his legs, leaning there and saying softly, "They went back to the Peony Garden to report their safety first."

Gu Jinchu lowered her eyes and looked at the two people's clasped hands. She could feel the force of his fingertips rubbing against the back of her hand, and then she heard him ask in her ear, "Are you scared?"

She tilted her head and met his gaze. The little girl in his eyes nodded and shook her head.

As if whispering, "Of course I'm afraid."

She was even more afraid that she would die unclearly like in her previous life, and be separated from her loved ones forever.

All she did was to protect herself and her family!

There were two maids in the carriage. Jiang Nansheng was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he let go of her hand after a while.

He whispered in her ear: "We can't meet in the next month..."

......

The summer heat finally passed, and as the marriage was progressing, the then imperial tutor Gao Tai was investigated and his property was confiscated.

Before this, the Gao family brought Gao Jiayue and Chen Yuhua to the Peony Garden to apologize, but were refused entry by Gu Jinchu.

Naturally, there was no further news about the marriage between the Second Prince and Gao Jiayue. It was said that Concubine Jing in the palace had fallen seriously ill.

Zhao Xuyi served the emperor without taking off his clothes and received praise from the emperor repeatedly.

Gu Jinchu, the Princess of Anping County, was not only cruel and brutal, but also vindictive.

Just because Gao Jiayue had offended her, she dared to beat the drum to protest and file a complaint with the emperor.

Many people even began to worry about the Fifth Master of the Jiang Family.

Such a banished immortal married a female demon and brought her home...

After hearing the news, although Gu Jinchu would not care about those harmless things, her heart as a bride-to-be really started to get nervous.

"First sister?"

Hearing his mother's words, Gu Jinchu looked up and said, "Hmm? Mother, what did you say?"

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Zheng Mudan picked up a candied fruit from the box and fed it to her, while her mother beside her joked, "I thought our Chu Jieer didn't know how to be nervous."

Madam Zheng Liu smiled lovingly, "In the past few days, I have been thinking about getting justice for us mothers. Now that there is a result, my nerves have relaxed, and the anxiety about getting married has come up."

Gu Jinchu pursed her lips and looked at her grandmother. She was the one who understood her best.

Her parents are divorced, so having a father is the same as not having one, and the Zheng family is her mother's family.

My grandmother has always stayed in the peony garden and has never left. She is like a stabilizing force.

With her mother in charge, Zheng Mudan, who was marrying off her daughter for the first time, felt calm and at ease.

After breakfast today, the mother and daughter will get married next year, and they are discussing the issue of a concubine and dowry with Chu Jie'er.

The Jiang family's betrothal gift was five thousand taels of silver, and eighty loads of various items, not including the large gifts.

Not to mention all this, Gu Jinchu himself is not short of money.

The property deeds and silver notes looted from the first wife and Li Xianglian amounted to 55,000 taels. With the reward from the emperor when he specially conferred the title of county princess on her, she had even more in her private treasury.

Zheng Liushi certainly knew this, "A gift from an elder cannot be declined."

Gu Jinchu lowered her eyes when she heard this. She wanted her mother to remarry.

Having more support and courage will also give your mother a leg up in the future.

Zheng Mudan took the nanmu box from the big girl behind her and said, "Those people who followed you in the past are all considered your companions."

"This is the indenture of Tao Xuelin's family and the embroiderers of Zhenbao Pavilion. I discussed with your grandmother and bought a few farms and properties, and also rented a few shops for you, one in Chunxi Road, one in Dongguxiang..."

Grandmother took over the conversation, "There is a farm right in Gu'an, with thousands of acres of fertile land. A batch of fruit trees were transplanted there last month. If Chu Jieer wants to eat fresh fruit in the future, just send someone to pick them..."

Gu Jinchu looked at the box. Inside were not only the property deeds and the indenture, but also a stack of silver bills.

Looking at her loving mother and grandmother, her uneasy heart gradually settled down...

time flies.

One more day, it will be the day of the wedding...
