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

Doctor Ma's words caused the room to fall into silence in an instant.

After hearing this, Qin Lang and Yao Yuan were once again shocked and speechless.

The eunuchs working in Wenyuan Pavilion were all sent by the Imperial Household Department, which was headed by Wang Xi, the eunuch who held the seal of the emperor.

Jiang Nansheng was a close minister to the emperor, and he had met a eunuch named Tang Liu.

Doctor Ma has been on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau for more than twenty years, witnessing the transition between the old and new regimes. He has served two generations of emperors and knows the rules of survival in the harem well.

He accidentally witnessed Tang Liu pushing the princess into the lake. All these years, he thought this evidence could save his life, but he never expected the ending to be something he had never imagined.

Jiang Nansheng said to Qin Lang: "Sir Qin... this person will be handed over to the Jinyiwei."

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Doctor Ma. His voice was even colder than the whistling wind. "Doctor Ma, your people in Shu should be thankful that they were not implicated because of you."

As Jiang Nansheng finished speaking, he saw the head of the person in front of him had been separated.

Qin Lang used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off the sword. This was not a great achievement at all; it was simply a hot potato!

Since Jiang Nansheng dared to bring people to the Dali Temple, it meant that the news would never leak out, and he might as well just send Doctor Ma off again.

Jiang Nansheng withdrew his gaze from the corpse and said calmly, "I'll have to trouble Master Qin to check on the Tang Liu he mentioned."

......

When Liu brought several of her sisters to Yuanyuan Hall, Gu Jinchu had just woken up from a nap.

After hearing the servant's report, she stood up and walked out of the inner room, intending to go out and greet him in person.

This was the first time someone came to visit her after she married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

The curtain of the main room was lifted, and Liu walked in with Jiang Miaozhu.

After entering the room, Jiang Miaohan appeared behind her, followed by Zhang and Jiang Jingxian.

Gu Jinchu invited them to go to the west room. Yuanyuan Hall had never been so lively before.

The two little girls greeted their fifth aunt softly, and Jiang Miaohan then bowed and greeted her.

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "There is a fire in the house, let's all sit on the big kang, the children will be able to play more comfortably."

He turned around and told the maids, "Bring a few plates of cakes over. They don't need to be too sweet, and cut the fruits into small pieces that are easy to eat."

Mother Cheng agreed and went out. Bai Zhi brought in a kang table and arranged it in a long strip shape with the original table on the kang.

Liu and her two daughters sat on one side, Zhang and her daughter sat opposite them, and Gu Jinchu sat on the edge of the kang, between his two sisters-in-law.

Bai Shao also brought a few large pillows in case the masters needed them.

Liu took Gu Jinchu's hand and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I really can't stand this annoying Zhu Jieer. She has to make a fuss at home and come to see Aunt Wu."

Zhang smiled faintly: "We are the ones who are bothering your sister-in-law."

After saying this, he personally took off his daughter's shoes and let her climb onto the big kang to play like the fourth young lady.

Gu Jinchu didn't have much contact with Zhang, so he smiled and said, "You're too polite, Sister-in-law. It's really boring for me to be alone at home."

At this time, the maids came in with trays. Seeing this, Jiang Miaozhu whispered in Fifth Sister's ear, "I told you that Fifth Aunt has all the new stuff here!"

Jiang Jingxian nodded, and the two little girls stretched their necks to look with curiosity on their faces. The scene looked very cute.

Zhang, who was taciturn, was attracted by the cup placed by the maid next to her:

"Sister-in-law, this is made of glass, I've never seen a shape like this before." He picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, the glass is made into this shape to hold drinks, so that it is convenient to hold in the hand." Gu Jinchu explained:

"My two sisters-in-law and some girls, there is milk tea in the cups, please try it."

Liu picked up the milk tea from Gu Jinchu's mouth, smelled it, lowered her head and took a sip, her eyes lit up.

The two little girls loved her very much, "Aunt Fifth, you are so kind." Jiang Miaozhu tilted her head, squinted her eyes and said affectionately.

Jiang Jingxian on the side was still a little shy, but more open than when she first met Gu Jinchu. "Sweet." She nodded to show that she agreed with what her cousin said.

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but think of what his grandmother said: No woman can refuse milk tea and beautiful little cakes. If there is, it must be because you haven't understood her true taste.

Liu has always been good at speaking. "The pastries from the old lady are already amazing. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would have an even bigger surprise for us."

"Now it's not just Sister Zhu who likes Aunt Five. I'll also have to bother my younger brother and sister-in-law more in the future."

Desserts can really make people happy and relax their body and mind.

Even the taciturn Zhang became cheerful, "Sister Han didn't go to the flower hall for class today? I heard that Madam Yuan is the strictest."

Zhang spoke in a gentle and soft voice, and it was the first time that Gu Jinchu saw her asking about other people's affairs.

Jiang Miaohan had her hair combed with clam pearls and wore a kingfisher-inlaid hair crown. Her fair oval face could already be seen, and she would be beautiful and charming in the future.

Hearing Fourth Aunt's question, she put down the milk tea in her hand, sat up straight and replied: "Madame Yuan had something to do at home, so she gave us sisters half a day off."

It gets dark early in winter, and after chatting for a while, the second and fourth wives took the children back home.

When Gu Jinchu saw that the Fourth and Fifth Misses were very fond of glass cups, he asked someone to pack a few for the two sisters-in-law to take back.

When she asked the small kitchen to prepare dinner, she learned that Zhang had come to Yuanyuan Hall with gifts.

Looking at the mink fur and ginseng in front of me, these are rare and high-quality items.

Gu Jinchu then remembered that the Fourth Madam was from the Zhang family of Liaodong, and these were the specialties of her family's place.

Mr. Jiang Si is the Censor in the Inspectorate. Although his rank is not high, his duties and powers are quite broad. However, he and his wife are the most low-key in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Bai He walked in from the middle courtyard and saw Madam Xu and her people coming out of the main hall one after another. He stepped forward and asked, "Madam Xu, is the Madam busy? I have something important to tell her."

Bai Zhi was helping Mother Xu open the curtain and waved for her to come in.

Gu Jinchu was looking at the cooled donkey-hide gelatin cakes on the table, planning to cut them into slices.

Bai He came in and stopped beside his master, saying softly:

"Madam, that Madam Yuan told several young ladies that she was going to the countryside to do some work... But I learned from the maids around her that Madam Yuan goes to the Huguo Temple once a month."
