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

Gu Jinchu looked at Jiang Nansheng in astonishment, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

What surprised her was not the grievances between the masters of the third house, but the "pig-killing scheme" that Jiang Nansheng had just mentioned.

She was full of doubts, how did he know this?

Jiang Nansheng took Gu Jinchu's hand and walked out of Lanyuan, saying softly, "Be careful where you walk." His voice was gentle and steady, as if it carried a reassuring power.

Gu Jinchu followed beside him, feeling the strength and warmth of his palm, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

She couldn't help but ask, "Fifth Master, the 'pig-killing scam' you just mentioned...how did you know about it? Is this also a case investigated by the Dali Temple?"

Jiang Nansheng took her into his arms, gently hugged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "The Dali Temple would never deal with such a case. Last time you said that Third Sister-in-law wanted your dessert recipe and mentioned that she borrowed money, I sent someone to investigate. If we want to find the person who set up the trap, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is extremely difficult, so I didn't mention this to you."

Gu Jinchu looked at the shadows of two people leaning against each other on the ground, feeling a little worried.

At that time, she set up a trap for her aunt and others, which was what he just mentioned as the "pig killing trap".

If you think about it carefully, there are some clues...

But after all, so much time has passed.

Mr. Jiang Wu had investigated Zuo Hongwen before, and these two things are inextricably linked.

Did he know that she was behind this? If he knew, how would she explain it?

Gu Jinchu was not afraid that Jiang Nansheng would know her plan to deal with her aunt and her concubine, but she could not find any reason or excuse to explain her foresight.

……

Liu and Zhang came to their senses after hearing what Mr. Jiang Wu said, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li and Mr. Jiang San.

At this time, the night wind suddenly blew, and the dead leaves on the branches in the courtyard were rustling. It was as if the hearts of several people in the courtyard were restless.

After everyone had gone far away, Jiang Nanyi asked Li, "What did Fifth Brother mean by what he said just now?"

Li showed a bitter smile, thinking secretly in her heart that it seemed that she should not only thank the fifth brother's wife, but also thank Fifth Master Jiang...

I must give you a big gift tomorrow.

Seeing that Li didn't say anything, Jiang Nanyi walked towards the main room with a look of disappointment. He pulled her aside and asked, "Did you tell my fifth brother about my current predicament?"

His face turned gloomy, like an enraged beast, his eyes full of anger and disappointment, "Isn't it enough that you're always jealous? Do you want the entire Dingguo Mansion to come and laugh at me?"

Li felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. She turned to look at Jiang Nanyi and asked him bluntly, "Third Master, don't you think about where the Third House got so much money for you to fill that bottomless pit?"

She decided to burst his fantasy, "Do you think it was given by the Crown Prince's wife? You are wrong. I didn't get a single cent of the dowry dividends from the Duke's wife all those years ago!"

Not only did he not get any money, but every time he went to Wang to solve his urgent problem, he had to say all the nice things she could and also follow her hints to pull down his sisters-in-law.

Her face was full of bitterness and her heart was full of grievances. Thinking of the sacrifices she had made, she felt that she had been suffering for nothing.

Not only is it not worth it, but you will even lose recognition of yourself.

She lowered her voice to make herself more powerful: "I sold my dowry, and the money I gave you was all my private money!"

In the past two years, she has sold most of her dowry.

Jiang Nanyiyi has achieved nothing, but his appetite is growing.

But fortunately, she pulled back from the brink.

She was asked to sell all the things that were used to show off the Third House and the jewelry that Jiang Nanyi bought for his concubines and concubines, in order to redeem her former dowry.

Jiang Nanyi frowned, losing all his momentum: "...I didn't know, and I didn't ask you to sell your dowry...Of course, I'm not blaming you, I, I didn't know."

His mind was a little confused. He had always thought that Li had begged for the money from his sister-in-law. The last time he went to withdraw the money, his sister-in-law had not told him clearly.

Li nodded nonchalantly, and then told him a fact that was even more unacceptable to him.

"That year you were trapped in Quanzhou Prefecture. It was only after I begged my father and mother that the Li family paid a ransom for you. Otherwise, why do you think Aunt Zhao was able to bring you down from the mountain so smoothly?"

After saying this, she glanced at Aunt Zhao. How stupid she was to make wedding dresses for others just for Jiang Nanyiyi's so-called face and self-esteem!

It was Mr. Jiang Wu's words just now that gave her an epiphany.

It's not that they look down on her because she comes from a merchant family. Merchants can't stand to see themselves suffer losses.

She was blind before, but not anymore!

This is completely contrary to the information Jiang Nanyi knew.

At that time, Qiaolan found him seriously injured. He thought that she saved him alone, so how could he be an ungrateful person?

And because he felt guilty, he doted on Qiaolan for so many years, which was what his third brother called "extravagant favor"!

The lights in the inner room of the Orchid Garden remained on until the sky turned blue.

After Gu Jinchu turned over again, he was embraced in a warm embrace.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Nansheng asked softly in her ear, his voice still sleepy.

Ever since she became pregnant, a candle would be left lit for her on the long table in the inner room.

Gu Jinchu raised his head and looked at his profile. The big red curtain emitted a faint pink glow under the candlelight.

Under such soft light, his three-dimensional facial features appear even softer.

In order not to disturb his sleep, she lay obediently in his arms, quietly looking at his sleeping face in a daze.
