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

Jiang Nansheng responded to Jiang An's words, still trying to figure out the emperor's intentions. He walked to the green-curtained carriage and stopped.

Knowing that Madam Zheng and his mother-in-law were coming to the mansion today, he promised Jinchu that he would return home early when he left home. Sending people to look for him like this was not her style.

Thinking of the threat in the second prince's words just now, he turned to ask Jiang An, "But what happened at home?"

Jiang An came over, leading the horse, with a stiff smile on his face, and his teeth trembled as he spoke:

"Fifth Master, Bai Zhi, who is with Madam, went to the Zheng family to ask Mr. Wu to come and ask for help. She said that Madam seems to be pregnant..."

Pregnant!

Jiang Fei wanted to kick Jiang An. Why didn't he tell him such an important thing at the beginning?

Jiang Nansheng reached out to adjust the straps of his cloak and said in a calm voice, "I'll ride back on horseback."

After saying that, he jumped on the horse, bringing with him a strong wind and a dark afterimage. He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang An, holding out his hand, "Give me the whip."

Jiang An handed over the whip with both hands, looked at the horse galloping like an arrow, and said in a trembling voice, "Fifth Master...why doesn't he take the carriage back?"

He was in such a hurry when he came out that he didn't even wear a cloak to keep warm. He rode his horse at full speed from Gu'an, and the time he spent waiting for his master almost froze him to death.

Jiang Fei threw him a cotton coat and said with great disdain: "You are such a fool. The master is worried about the lady and can't wait to return to the mansion."

Jiang An gathered himself together, unable to understand, and muttered to himself.

After getting on the official road, Jiang Nansheng whipped the horse.

The biting cold wind howled, scraping across the face like a knife. The trees on the roadside trembled in the wind, and the withered yellow leaves fell one after another.

The sound of horse hooves and the whistling of wind in my ears are not as deafening as the words "The lady seems to be pregnant."

Jiang Nansheng felt numb all over. He was going to be a father, and Jin Chu was pregnant with his child.

He galloped on his horse all the way, his horse's hooves raising clouds of dust, with an unstoppable momentum.

By the time he saw the plaque of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, he had only spent one-third of the time it usually took, but it still felt unusually long.

Jiang Nansheng exerted force on his wrist and tightened the reins in his hand suddenly. The horse raised its front hooves high, and a loud neigh came from its throat. Two white mists slowly dissipated in the sky.

The doorman was a sturdy middle-aged man. After hearing the sound, he looked out through the crack in the door, and opened the door after seeing the Fifth Master.

He stepped aside, bowed, and uttered auspicious words.

Jiang Nansheng pulled the reins, and the horse's strong muscles tensed instantly. It leaped with all its might and landed steadily on the stone steps inside the mansion gate.

With his head raised and his mane flying, he ran towards the depths of the courtyard.

"Congratulations, Master Wu. Congratulations, Master Wu."

"Congratulations, Master Wu..."

All the servants he met along the way greeted him and said auspicious words, which made Jiang Nansheng's desire to meet Jin Chu immediately reach its peak.

The hem of his fur cloak fluttered in the wind, and his tall figure galloped quickly and steadily.

When he saw Yuanyuan Hall, Wu Zizhen was escorted out of the door by servants with a smile on his face and walked towards the outer courtyard.

Jiang Nansheng tightened the reins in his hand, jumped off the horse, strode towards Wu Zizhen, stopped him and bowed, "Mr. Wu, how is my wife?"

It was not the first time that Wu Zizhen met Master Jiang Wu, but it was the first time that he saw him in such a hurry and looking so exhausted.

He stroked his goatee and smiled as he repeated what he had just said to the women in the room: "Congratulations, Fifth Master. Your wife is pregnant and her pulse shows that she has been pregnant for more than a month."

Master Wu is the only legitimate son of the Duke and the Duchess, and is also the younger brother of Concubine Shu. Madam Wu's baby is extremely precious.

Jiang Nansheng's face flashed with joy, then his expression became a little serious, and then he asked: "My wife is young, will there be any risks in this pregnancy? I wonder how her health is now, is there anything I should pay attention to in my daily life?"

When Wu Zizhen heard Jiang Nansheng's words, he was a little surprised at first. He didn't expect him to ask such a question.

After a light cough, he replied, "Madam is in good health, and it is enough for her to get pregnant and give birth to a child. There is only one thing that requires your cooperation, Master Wu."

After Jiang Nansheng knew that Jin Chu was fine, the tension he had been holding on to for the whole journey eased a little, "Sir, please go ahead."

Be respectful and listen attentively.

Wu Zizhen leaned over and said softly, "There were many women in the room just now, including the old lady of the Zheng family and your mother-in-law, so I didn't speak directly."

Jiang Nansheng frowned slightly, feeling that this matter must be related to him, and said slowly: "Sir, please feel free to speak."

"Madam, in the early stages of your pregnancy, Fifth Master, please remember that you should rest and take care of the baby in the first three months. Don't overwork yourself and avoid strenuous activities. Try to avoid having sex with your partner, as this can easily disturb the fetus and may harm the baby..."

After hearing this, Jiang Nansheng agreed with a red face and bowed to see Wu Zizhen off.

The maids and servants of Yuanyuan Hall were all delighted, and when they saw the Fifth Master coming back, they quickly bowed and greeted him.

Just now, the old lady and the lady-in-law, upon learning that the fifth lady was pregnant, each gave her a reward.

In just one day, they had already received three rewards.

There were many maids and old women standing under the corridor of the second courtyard. They were brought here by the ladies of each room and there was no room for them to stand inside the house.

As they greeted him, Jiang Nansheng stepped onto the steps in front of the main door. The door curtain was lifted, revealing Xuezhu standing beside Old Madam Jiang.

She wore a butterfly gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones in her hair. When she looked up at people, her almond eyes were watery. When she saw Jiang Nansheng, she knelt down and saluted, saying, "Fifth Master, you are back."

Jiang Nansheng said "hmm" and stepped in.

In the middle of the night, Madam Jiang came in, congratulated Madam Zheng, and the wives of her in-laws, then ran towards Gu Jinchu.

He held her hand without asking her to bow, and said to her with a loving smile: "We don't have so many rules in our family. We are both married, so we don't have to greet each other and do the blessing ceremony in the future."

It was as if she had suddenly become delicate and fragile. After carefully examining her, he asked, "Good girl, are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Jinchu smiled and replied, "I'm sorry to have worried mother, but there's nothing wrong at the moment."

Seeing Wang, Liu, Meng and Zhang following in behind Old Madam Jiang, he smiled and nodded to them in greeting.

On the way here, the ladies of several rooms had already heard that the fifth brother's wife seemed to be pregnant, and they became even more certain after hearing Wu Zizhen's words just now.

After sitting down, he couldn't help but say some words of congratulations to the Zheng family and Gu Jinchu.

The wind was cold outside, making the branches sway and snowflakes flutter down, but the room was warm and lively with the fire burning inside.

After Liu helped Madam Jiang sit down, she withdrew her hand and sat on the brocade stool brought by the maid. She smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is so lucky. She has only been married for two months and she is going to give mother a grandson!"

Madam Jiang smiled when she heard this, as if she was afraid that Gu Jinchu would feel pressured, and waved her hand and said, "All is well, all is well!"

"Most pregnant women are in trouble. I see you look so good...it seems that the baby in your belly is as caring as her mother."

Xiaowu is not young anymore, and she would like her daughter-in-law to give birth to either a boy or a girl.

When Wang heard this, the smile on her face deepened but it did not show in her eyes.

Madam Jiang only has one legitimate son, Jiang Nansheng. Once Gu Jinchu becomes pregnant, how could she not care whether it is a boy or a girl?

It's just because the old lady of the Zheng family and my mother-in-law are here, so I'm just saving face.

She raised her eyes to look at the old lady of the Zheng family and Mrs. Zheng beside Gu Jinchu, and sure enough, she saw satisfied looks on their faces.

Gu Jinchu blushed a little at the constant compliments, and smiled faintly as she listened to her grandmother and mother greeting Madam Jiang.

It was the first time for Meng to come to Yuanyuan Hall. After looking around the west side room, she smiled and said:

"When my fourth sister-in-law was pregnant with Sister Xian, she ate well, slept well, and looked healthy. My fifth sister-in-law is so caring this time, it looks like she's pregnant with a girl."

Zhang looked at her third sister-in-law. When had they ever been close to each other? How did Meng know that she was pregnant?

Liu placed the teacup on the tea table and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, what you said is not entirely true. When I was pregnant with Brother Xuan, I was also not afraid of morning sickness. It shows that every pregnancy is different for every person."

Meng looked aggrieved and replied, "Second sister-in-law has a lot of experience, so I don't have the right to speak."

Among these wives, Liu had the most children. Meng really didn't want Gu Jinchu to have a boy.

Madam Jiang held Gu Jinchu's hand and said in a gentle tone, "At that time, I also gave birth to Concubine Shu first, and then gave birth to Xiaowu. There are many things to pay attention to when having a first child, and the most important thing is to have a good mood."

He also carefully pointed out many things that needed attention.

Madam Zheng said, "When Chu Jieer married, she came with a dowry who knew how to cook, but she lacked a lot of experience."

"I also prepared a nutritionist and a nanny for her. They are experienced and know how to take care of pregnant women. They also know what is good for the baby. They can also help her recover quickly after giving birth. I will send someone to send them over when I return to the Zheng family."

After hearing this, Madam Jiang smiled and replied, "That's great, but I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam."

As she raised her head to speak, she accidentally saw the door. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiaowu is back? Why don't you come in? Your wife is pregnant!"

Jiang Nansheng was wearing a cloak over his official uniform and standing there, as if he had been looking at Gu Jinchu for a long time, as if time had stopped at this moment.
