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

Gu Jinchu leaned on the bed with his elbows, turned slightly, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and asked softly, "Master Wu, have you had trouble sleeping recently? Is it because of me?"

Jiang Nansheng reached out and gently embraced her in his arms, his voice low and gentle: "It's just that I feel lightheaded. Besides, it's almost Mao time."

Mao time is the fixed time for Jiang Wuye's morning exercise.

Gu Jinchu hummed, raised his hands, and hugged his tight waist, curling up in his arms in a very dependent manner.

Compared with his tall stature, she looked extremely petite, which made people feel pity for her, but also gave rise to a strong desire to protect her.

"Are you going out to inspect the stores today?" Jiang Nansheng's low voice came from above his head.

Gu Jinchu said softly, "A few days ago, I asked Manager Tao to notify several managers and the village head to come to Jinsu Dim Sum Bureau. They all came today, and we talked a few words and distributed the year-end dividends to them."

New Year's Eve is just a few days away. After receiving their rewards, people from all walks of life can spend a happy and comfortable new year.

"This is the first time I've seen a boss as generous as you."

There was a smile in Jiang Nansheng's voice as he pulled the fur coat up to cover her waist and shoulders tightly.

"Fifth Master, I have made some plans for your private property. I'm just waiting for my free time. I want you to be there." Gu Jinchu raised his head and said in a low voice.

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and pecked her small nose lightly. "It just so happens that Sun Haiyang has compiled a list of unmarried people. When they come over to kowtow to you, they will look for your maids."

As he spoke, he took her hand and fiddled with it in his palm.

Then he placed it on his lips and rubbed the softest part of her fingers with his new stubble that had grown overnight.

Gu Jinchu chuckled and grabbed his hand.

Jiang Nansheng's finger bones are white and slender, with distinct joints, just like the feeling he gives when first meeting him, exuding the elegant temperament of a scholar.

However, there are thin calluses on his palms and fingertips, which are the rough marks caused by the wear and tear of time, and are the testimony that he is the descendant of a military general.

Every time their skin touches each other, it brings an unbearable tingling sensation.

Jiang Nansheng then took the opportunity to clasp her fingers together, leaned over and smiled at her.

Gu Jinchu's cheeks flushed with heat, his eyes dodged, and he asked softly, "Fifth Master mentioned Chen San yesterday. Is he the Third Master Chen from General Huaiyuan's family, the younger brother of Imperial Consort Chen in the palace?"

Jiang Nansheng stroked the back of her smooth hand with his fingertips, "Chen San is much older than you and has been away from Beijing for many years. How did Jin Chu know him?"

Gu Jinchu didn’t know Chen San, but he knew the Chen family.

When the Duke handed over the tiger talisman, the Cao family behind the Queen, and now the Chen family, have all put pressure on the Jiang family many times for the sake of Emperor Jianyuan.

In the previous life, when the Second Prince ascended the throne, the Chen family was not satisfied with the result. It was not until Imperial Concubine Jing and the Second Prince produced the edict of succession that the matter was settled.

Gu Jinchu hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the Third Master of the Chen family was ranked second in the imperial examination that year. Compared with you, the newly crowned first-place scholar, Fifth Master, you are much inferior in both literary talent and demeanor."

Jiang Nansheng smiled and said, "Jin Chu, do you have honey on your lips so early in the morning?" Then he lowered his head and came over to ask for a kiss.

Gu Jinchu tilted his head back, pulling some distance between the two of them, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Right now, the issue of establishing a crown prince has not yet come to a conclusion, and people's minds are hard to predict. The Chen family returned to Beijing at this critical moment..."

The Imperial Concubine Shu in the palace did not give birth to a prince, so the Duke retired from the palace for the sake of his descendants.

Gu Jinchu was worried that the Jiang family would be dragged into the dispute over the succession, and he didn't want to die in obscurity like in his previous life.

Jiang Nansheng held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "I know everything, don't worry."

But he still couldn't bear it, so he told her that General Zheng had been summoned back to the capital.

……

After Gu Jinchu had breakfast and cleaned up, he went to Minghui Hall to pay his respects to Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang held her hand and asked Mother Hu to take Xuezhu, who was silently crying, away. She smiled and asked Gu Jinchu: "...How do you feel these days?"

Old Madam Jiang still knew the details of what happened in Yuanyuan Hall that day, especially that Gu Jinchu had come into contact with things that could harm the fetus.

This is to ask Gu Jinchu if he still feels unwell after taking several medicines prescribed by Doctor Wu.

After Gu Jinchu sat down next to Madam Jiang, he glanced at Xuezhu's back as she walked to the door.

He smiled and replied, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Fifth Master was too nervous, and that made Mother worried as well."

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Xiaowu has lived alone for many years. The house has become lively since you came in. Although he is usually well-behaved and quiet, he is a thoughtful child."

He is also a stubborn man, otherwise why would he wait for his wife for so many years.

As they were talking, the Crown Prince's wife, Wang, came over with her people.
