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

Li placed the mud snail shell in her hand on the carved mahogany table, then raised her jade-like hand and took the handkerchief that Mingyue placed in her palm.

After wiping his hands gently, he said, "It's late today, Mother Xia. When you return to the Crown Prince's wife tomorrow, tell her that the plaque at the Orchid Garden needs repairs."

Upon hearing this, Mother Xia quickly bowed and agreed, and then replied hesitantly, "Madam, the current mansion is managed by the Crown Prince's wife and the Second Madam. Which Madam would be more suitable for me to find?"

Li was surprised when she heard this. She then covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Go find my second sister-in-law."

She thought to herself and found an excuse for herself that Orchid Garden and Chenxiang Pavilion were close to each other.

I can't always have to be humble and coax her every time I go to Songtaoyuan. It's really annoying.

Anyway, Mr. Jiang San would not believe these words, and instead he always made her blame herself.

Thinking of this, Li secretly curled her lips again.

At this time, Mr. Jiang San stood aside, watching Li in silence. Didn't she dislike the name of Lanyuan, so she smashed it in anger!

Seeing that Third Master Jiang had not left after talking, Li smiled and asked him, "I don't have any delicious food for Third Master, so you should go to Aunt Zhao's place. I have arranged the plaque, and it is not up to me to decide when to replace it."

Contrary to her usual behavior, she remained silent and her words were respectful yet distant, which made Mr. Jiang San frown slightly.

He said in a deep voice: "Do you have anything to say about that plaque?"

Jiang Nanyiyi sat down in the chair opposite Li, leaning slightly to one side, with a hint of discomfort in his eyes.

Li was bored and carefully arranged the white crab shells into a crab shape. After hearing his words, he said casually:

"My dear husband, if you have any requirements for the material of the plaque, just tell Mother Xia. Or if you don't trust her to do the job, you can also send someone to find Second Sister-in-law yourself."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at him. She still looked as weak as before, but the expression on her face was much lighter, and the deep attachment in her eyes was no longer there.

Jiang Nanyiyi couldn't help but sit up straight. The unique fishy smell of seafood hit him in the face, making him turn his head away with disgust.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li smiled indifferently, but still raised her hand and ordered the servants to clear the table of food.

She slowly stood up by holding onto the dining table and walked towards the bed on the side, her figure as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

In the past, whenever Mr. Jiang San returned to the main room, his wife would chatter non-stop. It was rare to see her being so dignified and quiet like this.

Jiang Nanyiyi was even more uncomfortable. After the servants took away all the plates, he felt that the air in the room became smoother.

I realized that he had not taken off his cloak since he returned to the main room. No wonder I felt the temperature in the room was getting higher and higher.

Every time he came back, Li would take the initiative to serve him, and this kind of thing never bothered him.

Seeing him reaching out to pull the straps on his chest, Li reminded him, "My dear, my period has come. I'm afraid I can't serve you anymore."

Jiang Nanyi understood the meaning of her words. Li was trying to drive him away.

When he mentioned the plaque just now, he thought that Li was angry and that was why she asked him to go to her concubine.

Now she mentioned it again, that she really didn't want him to stay in the main house.

They had been married for thirteen years, and this was the first time that Li had kicked him out twice in a row.

"Li Shu, according to the rules, today is the day I stay in the main room." Jiang Nanyi threw his cloak on the coat rack and whispered unhappily, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Li's expression did not change as she said "hmm" and told Mother Xia beside her, "Go and bring Yinghuan in."

Jiang Nanyi was standing there waiting for Li to come and serve him, when he saw Mother Xia walk in with a maid who was dressed in a maid's clothes and had an unfamiliar face.

Li leaned on the big welcoming pillow and smiled at Mr. Jiang San, "Since my husband insists on staying in the main room and I am not feeling well, I will let this girl serve you."

"Yinghuan, raise your head and let the master see you." Li raised her chin and said to the girl whose face was blushing as if blood was about to drip out.

The maid named Ying Huan timidly raised her head, looked at Master Jiang San, walked over and bowed, "Master, my name is Ying Huan.

Ying means welcoming good things. Huan means joy and happiness. May the master and his wife always be happy and healthy in this life. "

Her almond-shaped eyes are watery, as if blue waves are rippling in her eyes, and her skin is delicate, fair and smooth.

She speaks in a subtle, elegant and playful manner, and is a beauty that catches everyone's eye.

Jiang Nanyi looked into her eyes, and then questioned Li angrily, "Li Shu, you asked her here, but you still can't tolerate Qiaolan and her daughter, right?"

Yinghuan's eyes and her expression at certain moments are very similar to those of Aunt Zhao when she was young.

Li sat up from the Luohan bed, with a puzzled look on her face and her eyebrows slightly furrowed:

"My husband, what are you talking about? Since you entered the main room today, has your concubine ever said anything against you, or has she ever failed to agree to anything with you?"

"The third house only has two children, Yun Jie'er and Bin Ge'er. I thought it would be better to find a sister to share the burden. Maybe soon, Bin Ge'er will have a younger brother or sister."

Li came from the south, and even when she was explaining herself, her tone and voice sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child. "Don't you have several concubines in Songtao Garden, the prince? I don't want to make you suffer."

In the past, Mr. Jiang San didn't like her tone, and she would sometimes deliberately lower her voice. But now her true feelings were revealed, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of grievance.

Jiang Nanyiyi walked around Ying Huan, who looked like Aunt Zhao, and stood two steps away from Li.

"Then why do you blame Qiaolan for using charcoal in her room? Both mother and daughter have cold hands and feet every day. Yunjie is a girl, if she gets cold, it will affect her future offspring!"

These words didn't sound like coming from a man. Even Mr. Jiang San, who was a father, wouldn't understand.

Li smiled at Jiang Nanyi, but there was a hint of indifference in her eyes:

"All the expenses for Lanyuan are collected from the wife of the prince in Songtaoyuan every month. If Aunt Zhao wants to live a better life, she can use her monthly allowance to buy it."

Jiang Nanyiyi frowned. He had never asked about the affairs of the rear house and didn't know much about them.

Li took the account book beside her and pointed it out to him, "My husband, the wife of the Crown Prince just issued the monthly allowance two days ago. Here, you see... Aunt Zhao and the second young lady's money have already been taken away."

She closed the account book and said with a smile, "You should have a begging attitude when begging. I have never seen a beggar as tough as Aunt Zhao."

Li sneered in her heart. She would never use her dowry to support another bitch.

The third branch’s family assets were all emptied out by Mr. Jiang Sanye, so why should they enjoy it without any blessing?

Where does this logic come from!

Her dowry and the money she included were kept for her own enjoyment.

Jiang Nanyi's chest rose and fell twice, but he could no longer scold Li as before. Because he knew that many years ago, it was Li, the Li family who saved him first.

Li glanced at him and said coldly, "If my husband loves Aunt Zhao, he should ask the Duke and his wife to make Aunt Zhao a co-wife. Then she will get more money every month."

For the first time, Jiang Nanyi took the initiative to hold her hand, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, "I, I didn't mean that..."

Li tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. The wound on her fingertips, which had just healed, began to hurt again. Her eyes were red. "If my husband stays in the main room, let Yinghuan serve you."

After saying that, she pulled her wrist out of his grasp and walked towards the door.

"Ma'am, the hot water is ready..."

Hearing the sound of talking outside the house, Jiang Nanyi turned his head to look over.

Li said she had her period, so how could she take a bath...

……

Gu Jinchu slept well that night in Jiang Nansheng's warm embrace.

When I opened my eyes, I could see a faint light shining through the bright red bed curtains.

She turned her head slightly and saw Jiang Nansheng's angular profile.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his thick eyelashes like crow feathers left a fan-shaped shadow.

"woke up."

Jiang Nansheng's lips opened and closed in front of her eyes, his voice was low and clear, and his eyes were full of tenderness. It was obvious that he woke up before her.
