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

"Madam, you should wait until Master Wu comes back before asking!"

Bai Shao carefully supported Gu Jinchu and glanced at Bai Wei beside her.

The lady answered whatever he asked. I have never seen her so impatient before.

Bai Wei glared back at Bai Shao, "Miss, they are too bullying."

Gu Jinchu knew what the maids were worried about.

The Miss Shen they were talking about was once engaged to her husband Jiang Nansheng, but later due to some reasons, the marriage was called off.

Half a year ago, the Shen family was rehabilitated and Shen Meishuang's name appeared on everyone's lips again.

Jiang Nansheng, who had been engaged to her, also showed up.

Everyone was talking about the fact that Shen Meishuang was not young anymore, and they were also watching the attitude of the Jiang family.

After all, this young lady of the Shen family was the first choice for the daughter-in-law of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion back then.

I don't know when the north wind started to blow, and a layer of fine snow fell on the blue bricks that had just been swept.

Gu Jinchu came to the outer academy and saw Jiang Fei, who was always inseparable from Jiang Nansheng.

"Where's Master Wu?"

Jiang Fei bowed his head and saluted, "Madam, Master Wu is in the reception room."

Gu Jinchu retracted his steps. If Jiang Nansheng's guest was not in the study, how could he be in the living room?

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"After the Shen family was rehabilitated, the higher-ups came to discuss compensation." Jiang Fei lowered his eyes and looked at the bluestone slabs on the ground, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Gu Jinchu held her belly, her fingers were cold, "Master Wu went to Huai'an two months ago to deal with Miss Shen's affairs, right?"

Jiang Fei's back was slightly bent, and he did not directly answer her question, "Madam, please ask Master Wu."

This Jiang Fei is the leader of Jiang Nansheng's guards and the sharpest knife in his hand.

After being married to Jiang Nansheng for five years, today was the day they spoke the most.

She knew that Jiang Fei didn't take her seriously.

Just like many people, they all felt that she, with her ordinary family background, terrible personality and poor knowledge, was not worthy of Jiang Nansheng.

Gu Jinchu ignored him and asked the maid to push open the study door and walk in.

Tian Qing behind Jiang Fei looked nervous, "Boss Jiang, are you letting Madam into Master Wu's study just like that?"

"We will be beaten if we are not allowed in. I will go to the front and tell Master Wu." Jiang Fei said and walked out.

This was the first time Gu Jinchu came to Jiang Nansheng’s study alone.

There is no ground heating here, so the temperature is not much higher than outside.

Bai Wei rubbed her hands and said, "Madam, I'll have someone bring in the charcoal basin. You can't catch a cold."

Gu Jinchu always felt uneasy, "Bai Wei, go back and see if Cheng En has come back. If he has, tell him not to run around."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Bai Wei closed the door, she took a deep look inside.

Gu Jinchu sat on the soft couch by the window. There was no such thing in the study room at first.

He had someone move here after she had sent food to Jiang Nansheng several times.

The nine-ring puzzle piece on top was thrown here by her eldest son after he played with it not long ago when she brought Cheng'en here.

The lady said that the Fifth Master had been a rule-abiding person since he was young, and the study was a taboo for him.

Gu Jinchu held the Nine Rings in her palm. After waiting for almost an hour, she could no longer sit still.

Bai Shao supported her and said, "Madam, I'll have someone bring a charcoal basin over."

Gu Jinchu didn't stop the maid because she was pregnant.

Her eyes swept across the top shelf of the bookshelf, and without waiting for Bai Shao to come back, she stood up with one hand on her waist and the other supporting her stomach.

The bookshelf was not very high, so she just stood on tiptoe to take the things down.

It was a scroll painting. She didn't remember whether there was one in the study before, or maybe she just didn't pay attention to it before.

Gu Jinchu put the scroll on the desk and sat in the chair looking at it.

She didn't even know Bai Shao and Tian Qing came in with a charcoal basin.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Bai Shao put the hand warmer in Gu Jinchu's hand. Madam's hands were frighteningly cold.

Gu Jinchu stretched out his hand, clenched it, and then put it down.

Looking at the dazzling white outside the window, she seemed to become that reckless and impulsive girl again.

Pull the rope fixed on the scroll, raise your hand and push it gently.

A picture of searching for plum blossoms in the snow appeared before her eyes.

A thought of flowers blooming as fragrant as before

A thought of snow falling and drunken life

The signature is the fourth year of Jianyuan

The fourth year of Jianyuan was eight years ago, and Yizhao was Jiang Nansheng's pen name.

In other words, this painting was painted by Jiang Nansheng eight years ago.

The last sentence, 'It's a plain and light winter, may you be warm', judging by the ink and handwriting, was added by him recently.

Jiang Nansheng was the youngest son of the Duke of Dingguo. He could compose poems at the age of seven, passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, and was listed on the imperial examination list at the age of eighteen. He was the youngest number one scholar in all dynasties.

When Gu Jinchu was young and living in the Gu family, he practiced calligraphy using Jiang Nansheng's copybook.

She never thought that she would have the opportunity to read the love poems written by her husband.

Jiang Nansheng, who was famous in northern Zhili, also had his share of worries.

Eight years ago, Miss Shen left Shengjing and went far away, in the snowy winter in the painting.

It turns out that everything has a traceable path...

Before Jiang Nansheng got married, she had no concubines, and after she got married, she had no aunts or concubines in the harem. When everyone said that Gu Jinchu was not worthy of him, they all envied her.

Gu Jinchu knew that Jiang Nansheng didn't love her, and she thought that even the most heartless person would warm up to her one day.

I only found out today that his heart is entirely with another woman.

Bai Shao saw that Madam's face was frighteningly pale, and was afraid that something was wrong with her body, so she bent down and whispered to her, "Madam, let's go back and drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine, shall we?"

Gu Jinchu touched his cheek and realized that when one is extremely sad, he really can’t cry.

"Go back." She murmured and stood up holding the edge of the table.

The door of the study was pushed open and a gust of cold wind came in.

Jiang Nansheng was in a hurry, and there were snowflakes on his coat.

Seeing Gu Jinchu standing there with a pale face and a slightly gloomy expression, he pulled her hand and held it in his palm.

Feeling that her body temperature was alarmingly low, he took off his cloak and put it on her.

"The study is so cold, why can't we go back to our room and talk about it?"

Gu Jinchu looked up at his face. This was the first time Jiang Nansheng had spoken such harsh words to her in all these years.

Eight years ago, she met Jiang Nansheng in Huguo Temple and was struck by how stunning he was at first sight.

As famous as his talent is his good looks.

Knowing that her family background was not worthy of him, she still tried to get her hands on this beautiful and famous woman in Shengjing.

He even coaxed and begged at his grandmother's house, using his favor to ask for favors from Concubine Shu, and shamelessly obtained an imperial decree to grant marriage.

Jiang Nansheng looked past her and saw the painting on the table. His hand tying the belt stopped in front of her, and his voice was a little hoarse, "You, saw it?"

Gu Jinchu looked at his red earlobes and asked softly, "Who is in the painting..."

The man's face rarely showed nervousness. He lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, didn't you see it all?"

"What do you like about her?"

Jiang Nansheng looked at the flying red figure in the painting, as if lost in memories, and missed the despair on Gu Jinchu's face.

"I like her courage, her vigor, and her passion and pursuit of a fulfilling life."

Gu Jinchu felt like a joke at this moment.

She stepped back from his embrace and asked him with her head down, "I wonder when Miss Shen will come in, so I can be prepared."

Jiang Nansheng's hand stopped in mid-air, looking at her in surprise.

After a while, he spoke, "You are pregnant, so let mother and sister-in-law take care of these."

"Then I will go back first. It's time to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

When Jiang Nansheng heard this, he didn't care why she suddenly called herself "concubine" and picked her up.

"It's snowing outside again. I'll take you back."

Gu Jinchu hugged his neck and buried himself in it.

Tell yourself this is the last time.

Before she finished the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, she heard Jiang Fei's voice from outside.

"My husband, please go and get busy." There was no trace of strangeness on Gu Jinchu's face.

Jiang Nansheng waited for her to finish the medicine, then fed her a candied fruit and gently stroked her belly with his palm.

His tone was gentle and doting, "Be good and don't bother your mother. Daddy will tell you a story tonight."

Gu Jinchu looked at his back. Tomorrow is his mother's memorial day, so he probably doesn't have time to accompany her.

The next day.

Gu Jinchu learned that Jiang Nansheng had left the house overnight and the worship did not alarm anyone.

Bai Wei put the mink cloak on her body and said, "Madam, aren't we waiting for Master Wu?"

Gu Jinchu asked the maid to put away the Buddhist scriptures she had copied, and reminded Bai Shao, who was busy with work, "You don't need to bring things you don't use often."

Before leaving, she paused and walked back, putting the things in her arms on the small table on the big kang in the clinic.

She trapped herself here for five years. After all, it was her own will that made it happen. She couldn't blame anyone.

She hoped that everything was still in time, and she also wanted to let herself go.

As soon as Gu Jinchu got on the carriage, he smelled a smell and when he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the shaking.

The coachman had gone somewhere and the carriage was running wildly in the deserted wilderness.

The only maid brought out was Bai Shao, who was lying at her feet, covered in blood.

She held her belly and managed to sit up, "Bai Shao, Bai Shao, wake up."

At this moment, the sound of a horse crying was heard outside the car, and then Gu Jinchu felt a rapid fall.
