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

After hearing Bai He's words, Gu Jinchu frowned slightly. Something flashed before her eyes so fast that she had no idea what it was.

Before her coming-of-age ceremony, her mother mentioned finding a nanny for her, and she vaguely mentioned Nanny Yuan.

My mother did ask someone about it, and found out that Nanny Yuan's offer was acceptable, but she was very difficult to hire because her schedule had been fully booked in the past two years.

Later, so many things happened that the matter of finding a nanny was put on hold until Emperor Jianyuan issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

After living a new life and meeting Nanny Yuan at the Jiang family, Gu Jinchu felt that something was amiss, so he arranged for his maids to observe secretly.

Gu Jinchu continued to ask: "After Nanny Yuan came, did you find out which master she was close to?"

Bai He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Except for going to the Flower Hall to teach the three young ladies, and going to the old lady to pay respects and reply to her questions, Nanny Yuan hardly ever leaves her courtyard at other times."

"The only time I have the chance to see her is when the little girl goes to the kitchen to get three meals."

Gu Jinchu nodded slightly, then turned and whispered to Bai Zhi: "Go find Gao De and ask him to check at Huguo Temple. Remember to keep it secret."

The two maids agreed and left.

Jiang Nansheng returned home and after walking through the main hall, he immediately saw Gu Jinchu sitting at the table in the west room.

There were two candles on the table, the flickering candlelight illuminating her fair, focused face.

Her eyelashes are as thick as a fan, fluttering like butterfly wings, and her red lips are slightly pursed, making her look delicate and charming, which makes her look like a dreamlike and beautiful picture.

When Jiang Nansheng saw what she was holding in her hand, his face instantly became nervous and he held his breath, fearing that the brand new kitchen knife would hurt her.

Jiang Nansheng walked towards her slowly and quickly, extending his hand at the same time.

Gu Jinchu was so focused on the thing in front of her that she didn't notice him approaching. It was not until someone took the knife from her hand that she came to her senses.

"Little ancestor, what are you doing!"

Jiang Nansheng's anxious and worried voice sounded, with obvious restlessness.

Gu Jinchu looked up at him in a daze, his arm still in the same position as he was holding something.

She called softly, "Fifth Master?" She didn't understand why he reacted like that.

When I saw the kitchen knife tightly held in his hand, I realized that my behavior might have caused him to misunderstand.

Gu Jinchu turned around and explained with a bit of a smile: "I was originally planning to cut the donkey-hide gelatin cake!"

Jiang Nansheng also saw what was on the table at this time. His tense nerves relaxed. He put the kitchen knife on the table, took her hand, and brought her into his arms.

One hand clasped the back of her head, and the other hand tightly embraced her waist, making her entire upper body completely pressed against him.

Gu Jinchu turned his head, listened to the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest, put his arms around his firm waist, and gently stroked his back.

"Fifth Master, what happened to you today?"

She remembered that he mentioned it when he went out early in the morning, saying that there was a prisoner waiting for him to interrogate.

Jiang Nansheng gently pressed his big hand on the back of her head, with the muscles and bones on the back of his hand bulging. He buried himself in Gu Jinchu's hair and whispered, "You scared me."

For some reason, the scene just now made him flash blood red before his eyes, and his heart tightened and ached for no reason.

"Today I asked Bai Zhi to make a pot of donkey hide gelatin cakes. They will cool and solidify soon in this season. I was just planning to cut them into slices and pack them in boxes."

"I made quite a few for my mother-in-law, my grandmother, and my mother. After my mother-in-law's birthday, I want to go back with my grandmother and mother and stay for a few days."

Feeling that Jiang Nansheng was hugging him tightly, Gu Jinchu leaned on him obediently and slowly told him what he had done that day and what his plans were.

I don’t know how long it took, but the arm around my waist loosened a little.

The next moment, a big warm hand held her face.

Gu Jinchu raised her head and saw Jiang Nansheng’s handsome face right in front of her.

Mr. Jiang Wu, who was as gentle as jade, had a hint of sharpness in his eyes at some point.

Unconsciously, he had reunited with Jiang Nansheng a few years after her marriage in her previous life.

No matter when he was, or what kind of temperament he had...he was always above her aesthetic standards.

Gu Jinchu raised his hand, passed through his two arms beside him, and slowly touched his face.

Her fingertips gently stroked his sword-like eyebrows, passed over his nose that was as straight as a mountain peak, lifted the corner of his lips, forming a smile line on his lips, and finally met his deep eyes.

Jiang Nansheng grabbed her hand that was about to be withdrawn, put it to his lips and kissed her fingers one by one, staring at her with deep eyes, full of affection: "I like you looking at me like this."

It was as if he was everything to her.

Gu Jinchu saw his rare childishness and said with a smile, "Fifth Master, this top-notch flower of wealth and honor in Shengjing, I naturally like to see you."

He was born in a noble family, looked like Pan An, was intelligent and talented, and was elegant and gentle in his every move.

Although he had not yet passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, the Fifth Master of the Jiang family was already the ideal husband for the noble ladies.

Some people even privately said that Master Jiang Wu was the most beautiful and most beautiful woman in the world.

Gu Jinchu's words "I like watching" made Jiang Nansheng smile from the bottom of his heart for the first time since returning home.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Show it to Madam. I'll let you see it carefully tonight." His voice was low and hoarse, and it sprayed on her ear bone along with the hot breath from his mouth.

Jiang Nansheng said a lot of dirty talk like this after marriage, which still made Gu Jinchu's heart tremble.

The earlobe on the side closest to him was red as if it was about to bleed, and she whispered, "Help me cut the donkey-hide gelatin, and I'll put it in a box so that someone can come and set the table for dinner."

Jiang Nansheng agreed and asked for a kiss, then picked up the kitchen knife that had frightened him not long ago.

He glanced at the boxes that Jinchu used to pack donkey-hide gelatin tablets, and quickly filled two rows of boxes that were as tall as a person.

The dishes on the kang table were placed one by one, including the spicy hot pot that Gu Jinchu had mentioned in the morning, monk fruit and lily chicken soup, and stir-fried yam.

After the maids had set the table, they lit the candles in the room a little brighter and then went out, standing outside the door waiting for their master's orders.

The room was filled with a spicy and fragrant smell, which reminded Gu Jinchu of the faint smell of hot pot base on Jiang Nansheng's body when he came back and hugged her.

She raised her hand, served Jiang Nansheng a bowl of chicken soup, and placed a chicken leg on the small plate in front of him.

There is no rule between them that one should not talk while eating.

Jiang Nansheng drank a bowl of soup before he started talking.
