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

The biting cold wind was blowing, feeling like a knife cutting my face.

Wang wanted to say something else, but when her eyes fell on the people behind Jiang Nansheng, her heart skipped a beat.

She felt that the development of things had deviated far from her expectations. For a moment, she opened her mouth, but could not say anything, and her face turned pale.

Wang Yuran, who was standing aside, crossed her arms, her eyes full of fear. She stepped back hesitantly and suddenly bumped into a big and strong old woman.

The old woman had a face full of flesh and a cold look in her eyes. When Wang Yuran looked up and saw her like this, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Nansheng completely ignored the chaos around him. He bent down and carefully held Gu Jinchu horizontally in his arms.

He opened his mouth and ordered He You beside him: "Put them in the sitting room separately and let the maid search them!"

Gu Jinchu hugged his neck and finally relaxed in his warm and solid embrace. Only then did he feel an indescribable feeling of tiredness spreading throughout his body.

Resting your head on his chest, you slowly close your eyes.

At this time, Wang and Wang Yuran began to struggle desperately in the shoving. "Fifth brother, my sister-in-law just invited us to the west wing for tea." Wang's eyes were filled with anxiety and panic.

"Don't touch me! My father is the Minister of Works, and his position is higher than that of Mr. Jiang Wu. Why do you bully me..." Wang Yuran staggered as he was pulled away, crying out at the top of his lungs.

Jiang Nansheng held Gu Jinchu in his arms and stood on the stone steps in front of the main door. He turned his head slightly.

White snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, landing on his hair and eyelashes, staining them with a layer of velvety white, making his originally gentle features instantly become cold and stern.

"Just now, Fifth Madam invited you to have tea, but you refused. Now you have to follow the rules of the Dali Temple." His voice was low and cold, without a trace of warmth. He raised his eyes slightly:

“If you still don’t cooperate, I’ll let the female coroner come over and teach you how to speak properly.” After saying that, he raised his leg and stepped into the main door, leaving behind his tall and steady black figure.

"Yes, Master Wu."

He You agreed respectfully, then turned around and looked at Wang and Wang Yuran who were still struggling, and said with a smile: "Madam, please don't embarrass me. You know, female coroners deal with the dead."

His handsome face with a feminine look made Wang and Wang Yuran shudder.

When Wang Yuran heard this, she opened her mouth in fear and wanted to scream, but before any sound came out, the old woman beside her quickly stuffed the dirty handkerchief in her hand into her mouth.

The old woman said with a look of disdain, "Madam, you'd better keep quiet. If you disturb our Madam, you won't be able to bear the wrath of the Fifth Master."

The woman's calloused hands firmly grasped the collar behind Wang Yuran's neck and gently pulled her towards the sitting room.

Wang looked at this scene, her heart filled with fear.

She knew that the person who spoke was called He You, a descendant of the Duke's former military advisor. Now he was the counselor to Master Jiang Wu, and his methods were very powerful.

She took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure, and said slowly, "Mr. He, there must be a misunderstanding here. Can you please have someone bandage my sister's wound first?"

He You just heard the general idea from Cheng Mama, and replied with a smile: "Although Bai Zhi beside Madam is not Wu Zizhen's last disciple, she can also be regarded as someone who has received some guidance.

If you don't mind, I will help the Crown Prince's wife invite Miss Bai Zhi over."

After hearing this, Wang could only close her eyes helplessly, nodded slowly, and secretly thought about how to deal with it next.

Seeing that Wang and Wang Yuran had both entered the sitting room, He You turned around and found the third lady standing there at a loss.

At this time, Mrs. Li had reduced her presence to the minimum. Her face was pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she and Mother Xia supported each other.

She swallowed her saliva, then mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. He, there is no ground heating in the upside-down room, right? I am weak, can you bring me a brazier?"

Mother Xia also quickly agreed, "If you don't want a brazier, you can get a thick blanket for our lady."

After hearing this, He You bowed and gestured, "Madam, please go to the west wing to rest. If you need anything, you can talk to Mother Cheng."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li and Mother Xia looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and for a moment they almost collapsed.

Jiang Nansheng carried Gu Jinchu into the west room. The room had been cleaned up by the servants. He gently placed her on the kang by the window, then pulled the fur cloak behind him to cover both of them.

He looked at Gu Jinchu in his arms, his eyes full of concern and tenderness, and asked softly, "What about now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Jinchu hugged his waist, shook his head gently, and said, "I didn't feel uncomfortable. They didn't touch me when they were arguing."

Speaking of which, I still feel a little scared.

She pulled away and looked up at Jiang Nansheng with a hint of worry in her eyes, "Fifth Master...will you blame me? For not letting the Crown Prince's wife and Third Sister-in-law leave. After all, Wang Yuran still has Lord Wang behind her."

Jiang Nansheng hugged her gently, patted her back with one hand, lowered his head, and kissed the top of her head lightly.

His voice was low and gentle, carrying a soothing power, "Jinchu is right to suspect. Wait until Doctor Wu comes over and takes your pulse, and then I'll ask him and we'll know."

His attitude at this moment, and the firm words just now, "It must be you who are wrong", made Gu Jinchu's heart become more at ease.

"By the way, today Third Sister-in-law reminded me to be careful about the Crown Prince's wife's sister. For some reason, Wang Yuran seemed to be targeting Third Sister-in-law, and the two of them started arguing."

Gu Jinchu whispered to him what had happened not long ago.

Jiang Nansheng hugged her, his voice low and tense, "I know... Jinchu, don't think too much, leave it to me."

Gu Jinchu noticed his nervousness, took his hand, gently placed it on her lower abdomen, and said, "Feel it."

After three months, her lower abdomen gradually began to have a curve. Although it was not very obvious, she could already feel it.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the house. Doctor Wu Zizhen arrived.

He didn't bother to say hello. He walked over to the brocade stool that Bai Zhi had brought over and sat down, then stretched out his hand to feel Bai Zhi's pulse and ask about the diagnosis.

Doctor Wu closed his eyes and looked focused, but his brows became more and more furrowed as time went by.

The atmosphere in the room became tense, as if the air had frozen.

After a moment, Doctor Wu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Gu Jinchu, and asked solemnly, "Madam, have you had any major changes in your mood recently?"

Jiang Nansheng held Gu Jinchu's hand tightly. His broad palms were already sweaty. He frowned slightly and looked at her with concern.

Wu Zizhen's mourning period ended more than a month ago, but he did not return to the Imperial Hospital to report on his work. Instead, he opened his own clinic.

His father Wu Jizhou once saved the Duke, and he also saved the life of Gu Jinchu's grandfather, so he had a very good relationship with the Jiang and Zheng families.

Gu Jinchu was slightly stunned after hearing what Doctor Wu said. She thought about it carefully and then said, "Occasionally I wake up for no reason at night... and my mood changes a lot during the day. Isn't this caused by pregnancy?"

Doctor Wu heard what Gu Jinchu said, nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and then cupped his hands to comfort the two people and said:

"Master Wu and Madam, rest assured, there is no problem with the fetus in your belly for the time being. But there is one good news and one bad news. I wonder which one you two would like to hear first?"
