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

Gu Jinchu's beautiful eyes were as moist and shiny as sparkling gems under the flickering candlelight. Her face was as bright as a peach blossom, and her skin had a light sheen under the dim light.

At this moment, she was sitting there quietly, and the air around her seemed to become smooth and peaceful because of her.

Jiang Nansheng raised his hand and gently stroked her small chin with his thumb, and the depths of his heart also became especially soft.

When Gu Jinchu was expecting to listen attentively, wanting to know whether his inference a few days ago was correct, he heard Jiang Nansheng slowly say:

"This is complicated. I'll tell you in detail after dinner, okay?"

She was pregnant and it was time for dinner. Wu Zizhen once said that pregnant women cannot be hungry.

When Gu Jinchu heard his words, the smile on her face gradually froze. She gently put away her arms that were resting on the kang table, and the light in her eyes seemed to dim.

At this time, the maids came in one after another, holding trays in their hands, and carefully placed the dishes on the kang table.

His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of making even the slightest noise and causing displeasure to his master.

Regardless of the servants still in the room, Gu Jinchu said in a light voice with an expression of undisguised displeasure: "Fifth Master, you have changed. You are so childish and pretentious!"

After hearing this, Jiang Nansheng chuckled and waved at the two maids, indicating that they didn't need to serve him.

Indeed, he had not considered it carefully enough and had not taken her body into consideration.

Seeing her rare childish look, Jiang Nansheng coaxed her in a low voice: "It's not something that can be explained in a few words. Do you want me to tell you now, Jin Chu? Or should we sit down after dinner and talk about it in detail?"

Gu Jinchu touched her lower abdomen. She already felt hungry when she woke up from her nap.

But it was clearly him who brought up the topic, and she felt very uncomfortable when it came to an abrupt end.

Now asking her to make a choice like this, it's as if she is immature and is being willful and throwing a tantrum.

For some reason, she felt very aggrieved.

Jiang Nansheng observed Gu Jinchu's expression and said softly, "This fish looks very plump today. If it gets cold, the fish meat will be fishy."

As he spoke, he removed the fish bones, moved the whole plate of fish meat in front of Jin Chu, and then served her a bowl of minced meat porridge.

The fish meat exudes an attractive color under the light, and the minced meat porridge also emits wisps of hot steam.

Normally, Gu Jinchu likes to eat steamed fish very much. But today, for some reason, the pale white fish meat made her lose her appetite.

Even the braised pork, which Jin was very good at, looked ugly in her eyes.

Not only these two dishes, but all the food on the kang table and Jiang Nansheng in front of him became unpleasant to the eye.

It felt like there was a ball of anger in her chest, stuck there, making her want to lose her temper.

This was a reaction she had never experienced after her first pregnancy in her previous life.

This made Gu Jinchu feel even more weird. Could it be that she was being pampered too much and became arrogant because of it?

Jiang Nansheng didn't hear Gu Jinchu's reply. He looked up and saw her sitting there with slightly red eyes and big tears falling down.

Based on his understanding of Jin Chu, she would not lose control of her emotions like this over such a small matter.

"Everyone's physique is different. Some pregnant women may experience loss of appetite, nausea, drowsiness and fatigue during early pregnancy. Some pregnant women may become emotionally unstable, irritable, sensitive and nervous..."

Mr. Wu's words were still ringing in his ears, making Jiang Nansheng feel a little guilty.

Jin Chu is still pregnant, so he should give in to her.

I could clearly see that she was unhappy, but I still let her make a choice and I should have been tolerant of her.

He stood up, moved to sit beside her, held her in his arms, and spoke in a deep voice with heartache:

"Is it because the baby in your belly knows that your father has made your mother unhappy, so you are crying to express your dissatisfaction with me?"

Of course, this was to excuse her and also to coax her.

Gu Jinchu raised her head, tears still falling from her eyes. Her beautiful eyes seemed to have been washed with water, clear and bright.

Her soft voice trembled: "I don't want to cry either, I don't know why I just can't control it..."

Jiang Nansheng bent down and kissed her forehead gently, then kissed away the tears on her eyelashes. He let her lean on his shoulder, patted her back gently, and whispered softly in her ear.

Outside the house, a little girl came running over with a tray, bringing with her two clouds of white mist.

She asked Bai Zhi carefully, "Sister Bai Zhi, Madam asked the kitchen to bake beef patties for Master Wu, but she forgot to bring them up just now."

Bai Zhi gestured to keep quiet and said softly, "Take it back to the small kitchen and keep it warm. Tell Jin that the fire on the stove cannot be turned off."

I'm afraid I'll have to review the master's dinner tonight, or ask the kitchen to prepare it separately.

The little girl stood under the veranda, a little hesitant, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi pulled her down the stairs and comforted her, saying, "No one will blame you. Take it back quickly."

The Fifth Master is coaxing his wife in the room, and if you go in and disturb her at this time, you will be blamed by your master.

Jiang Nansheng saw that Gu Jinchu's tears had stopped, so he picked up the bowl and fed her two mouthfuls of soup with a spoon, and whispered to her what he had found out:

"Madame Yuan did go to the Huguo Temple that day. She did so to see the little prince she brought out of the palace nineteen years ago..."

"Over the years, she often sent orphans to the Huguo Temple to be raised. She also donated all the money she earned as a foster nanny to the Huguo Temple as incense money. She did this to confuse the public and protect the prince back then..."

He put the fish meat with minced meat porridge to her mouth and said softly: "Jin Chu... I don't want the mess in the former court and the harem to affect your appetite."

The inexplicable emotion I just felt was really strange; it came quickly and went away quickly.

Gu Jinchu let out a long breath, and Gao De also found out something about Nanny Yuan.

Fearing that she might be discovered, she did not investigate further.

She took the cutlery from his hand and said with a nasal tone, "But we are a family. From the time I married you to the time my cousin saved the princess, I have been in the whirlpool of politics."

"Yeah." Jiang Nansheng smiled and nodded in response: "On the day at Huitong Hall, Jin Chu was able to see through the Fuso people's tricks. He is smart and courageous."

But it was different now, she was pregnant, and that was what he was most worried about.

He discussed with her in a gentle voice: "Jin Chu, I left Jiang An at home for your use. If you go out in the future, I will feel more at ease if you take him with you."

Gu Jinchu didn't respond immediately after hearing this, but asked him, "But will there be danger around me?"

Jiang Nansheng raised his hand to straighten her hair, his movements extremely gentle: "Do you remember that Baozhu Pavilion used to sell low-priced silk?"

"To put it simply, the Zhou family colluded with the governor and provincial governor of Zhejiang. The Zhou family is behind the second prince. His Majesty has ordered the Dali Temple to investigate this matter today."

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu was already very sure that the real person behind the harm of her in the previous life was the Second Prince.

Even regarding his mother's affairs, the Second Prince also helped.

She lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in them, nodded, and agreed to what Jiang Nansheng had just said.

Although her guards were not as strong as those around Jiang Wuye, they had sleeve arrows improved by her third uncle, which could defeat the enemy in close combat.

She cherishes her life more than Jiang Nansheng imagined.

Since he took the initiative to mention Madam Yuan and the former imperial harem, she said softly, "The Second Prince and Imperial Concubine Jing already see the throne as something in their pockets, so how could they give it up to someone else?"

In the previous life, the second prince was able to ascend the throne only after he produced the imperial edict of succession.

Jiang Nansheng's eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "That depends on how much the person the Second Prince has placed next to His Majesty knows."
