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

Li wiped the corner of her mouth, not missing the subtle expression on Jiang Nanyi's face, and smiled lightly as if mocking herself.

There was a hint of bitterness and disappointment in that smile.

Because he didn't like seafood, she changed her lifestyle of many years, but it was obvious that no one took her efforts to heart.

Or rather, no one cares at all.

Jiang Nanyiyi did not choose the empty space on the Luohan bed, but walked to a chair on the side and sat down.

The two people in the room are clearly distinguished.

"Today is Sister Yun's birthday, so I will have dinner with her and her daughter." He spoke slowly, his voice flat and without a trace of emotion.

Hearing this, Li glanced at Mother Xia.

I felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, the people arranged by Mother Xia were not seen by the Third Master, otherwise someone would be punished again.

Then I felt a deep sense of fatigue.

When Jiang Nanyi saw that Li did not reply, it seemed that the food on the plate in front of her attracted her attention even more.

He frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in his heart.

Li drank the last mouthful of porridge, smiled and said, "Third Master, if the smell in the room makes you uncomfortable, go to Aunt Zhao's place to rest."

She seemed calm, but only she knew how difficult it was for her to say these words.

Jiang Nanyi paused as he was unbuttoning her clothes, then turned his head and looked her up and down, his eyes filled with undisguised confusion and impatience.

He said as a matter of course: "You should stay in the main room today. Qiaolan is not the kind of person who would resort to trickery just to be jealous."

Before he came back, he wondered what kind of outburst Li would have, but he never expected her to be so magnanimous.

The Li family cares most about gains and losses, so they must be planning something in their minds.

Thinking of what he heard at dinner, his brows furrowed and his face was full of displeasure.

He was becoming more and more disgusted with her words, "Why did you ask Fifth Brother's wife for the recipe? What if Fifth Brother finds out and there's a rift between us brothers?"

Li was very calm today and realized that no matter what state she was in, her husband never had the slightest sympathy for her, and the two of them got along worse than if they were strangers.

"What recipe?" She put the hairpin on her head into her dressing box and looked at him through the dressing mirror, not missing the disgust in his eyes.

My heart suddenly shrank, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it was in unbearable pain.

Her hands were shaking so much that the hairpin made a slight sound in the box, as if it was expressing her grievances.

Jiang Nanyi took some clothes and warned her in a low voice, "Don't bring the habits you developed in your mother's family to the Jiang family. I can give you the face of your legal wife, not let you embarrass yourself outside!"

After saying that, he strode out, leaving Li alone in the room. His back was resolute, without a trace of nostalgia.

Mingyue waited for the Fifth Master to enter the clean room, then walked up to the mistress and said, "Madam, is the Fifth Master talking about the dessert recipe?"

Li couldn't stop crying, she sobbed softly, "I didn't know at first, it was sold by my fifth brother's wife's dowry shop..."

"Gu Jinchu is such a mean person. I have brought up the topic several times, but she always rejected it with a soft knife. After so long, she actually told the Third Master behind his back..."

Her voice trembled, full of grievance and anger.

She burped, looked at the maid beside her, and asked uncertainly, "Was Sister Yun there that day?"

Mingyue nodded and whispered, "The Second Miss is indeed here, and the Third Master just came back from his aunt's place."

It shouldn't be said by the Fifth Madam. Although the Fifth Madam is young, she is not the kind of person who gossips behind people's backs.

They saw more than once that the first lady suffered losses at the hands of the fifth lady when they clashed with her.

Otherwise, the eldest lady wouldn't have made that kind of suggestion.

Li understood what the maid meant. She raised her eyelids and looked around the inner room.

Everything in the room seemed strange and cold, and she gave a desperate smile that made people feel extremely desolate.

……

The next day, Gu Jinchu woke up after the hour of Mao.

Jiang Nansheng came back from her morning exercise and was sitting in front of the mirror putting on her makeup. The room was filled with a faint floral scent, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"But did I wake you up in the morning?" He stood behind Gu Jinchu and asked her in the mirror.

The makeup mirror is an imported product. It is not only luxurious and exquisite, but also can clearly reflect a person's face.

Gu Jinchu smiled and replied, "I went to bed early last night and woke up when I was full."

Jiang Nansheng raised his hand, Bai Shao put down what he was holding, knelt down, and walked out of the room.

He walked to the dressing table and looked down at the bottles and jars on it.

Gu Jinchu asked him with a smile: "Fifth Master, do you know what these are for? Let the maid come, so as not to delay you from going out."

The morning light was just beginning to shine through the carved window sashes into the house, casting a layer of soft light on the two people and enveloping them in a halo like a golden veil.

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Jinchu, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said in a low voice: "Jinchu, close your eyes."

Gu Jinchu pursed her lips and closed her eyes as he said. Knowing that he was going to put makeup on her, she couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

Jiang Nansheng picked up the stone pencil and gently outlined her eyebrows. Her movements were gentle, and her eyes were focused and affectionate, as if she was painting a beautiful and precious picture.

When you close your eyes, all your senses are infinitely magnified.

She felt his breath on her face and the gentle pressure on her eyebrows, which made her eyelashes tremble and her slightly red cheeks revealed her shyness.

Hearing the sound of lip balm being opened, Gu Jinchu slightly opened her red lips, and soon the warm touch of rough fingertips appeared on her lips.

Her heart beat faster involuntarily, as if a deer was running around, but she was afraid that he would hear it.

After not hearing his voice for a long time, Gu Jinchu slightly tilted his head, slowly opened his eyes, and met Jiang Nansheng's turbulent eyes.

There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, extremely hot.

"Jinchu." His hoarse voice made Gu Jinchu's cheeks even redder.

She looked back at herself in the mirror and felt as if something was missing.

Jiang Nansheng saw the crabapple flowers on the table that the little girl had brought over, and reached out to take two of them.

One flower was pinned on the side of her ear, and the larger one was pinned next to her high bun. The two flowers echoed each other and set off the dress she was wearing today.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Jiang Nansheng stood beside her, looking at her in the mirror and asked softly.

The tenderness in the eyes makes people addicted.

Gu Jinchu turned his head, admired the two flowers, and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Nansheng thought to himself: People are more beautiful than flowers.

Very restrainedly, he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

After seeing Jiang Nansheng off, Bai Zhi handed a letter to Gu Jinchu, "Madam, this was sent by Shopkeeper Tao."

Gu Jinchu leaned on the big pillow and opened the letter to read.

The content of the letter was roughly the same as what Master Jiang Wu said that day, except that there was one more name, Gu Tong.

In his previous life, Qin Lang did not let this family go.

Gu Jinchu thought that he was just blinded by rage, but it turns out that everything has cause and effect.

Now, this branch of the Gu family is left with only Gu Wen.

After reading the letter, Gu Jinchu placed it on the candlestick and burned it.

Jiang Nansheng didn't say anything, so she pretended not to know.

When I stood up and planned to go to Minghui Hall to pay my respects to Old Madam Jiang, Mother Cheng came back to get her monthly allowance.

Mother Cheng approached Gu Jinchu and whispered beside her, "Madam, the Third Madam and the First Madam had an argument."

Gu Jinchu smiled when he heard this. The Crown Prince and the Third Master Jiang Nanyiyi were brothers from the same mother.

The Li family has always followed the lead of the Wang family.
