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

When Gu Jinchu woke up, it was probably still dark outside, and the bedspread was dark.

Last night was the first time she slept alone after marrying Mr. Jiang Wu, and she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Even when I fall asleep, I always feel uneasy.

"lady?"

Bai Zhi, who was on night watch, heard the noise, sat up from the platform, and called softly through the bed curtain.

Gu Jinchu turned over and asked her in a low voice: "What time is it?"

"Madam, it's only 12:00 a.m., are you going to get up?"

As she spoke, Bai Zhi sat up swiftly and tidied the bedding on the platform.

After getting the lady's response, he stood up, hung the bed curtains, and then helped the lady to dress.

Bai Zhi secretly felt sad in her heart that when the Fifth Master was around, the maids like them were quite lazy.

Gu Jinchu took the warm water handed to him by the maid, took a sip and told her: "Ask the kitchen to prepare a light breakfast. After you wash up, we will go to see the Fifth Master."

When Wang Xi left last night, he said that the emperor's reward would arrive today.

Even if he didn't say it, the Fifth Master saved the Third Prince who had just returned to the palace. Today, I'm afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the entire harem, would know about it.

When Gu Jinchu arrived at Zhuli Pavilion, it was obvious that Master Jiang Wu had been awake for a long time and was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.

Seeing her walk in from behind the partition, he smiled gently and raised his hand to let her pass.

Gu Jinchu gently placed her hand in his palm, then slowly sat down beside him on the bed.

The two looked at each other, and then the corners of their mouths rose at the same time, revealing a knowing smile.

Without the master's instructions, Baizhi and Baishao began to fetch warm water for the Fifth Master to wash his face.

Gu Jinchu slightly turned sideways, put the handkerchief into the basin to soak it, and gently wrung it dry.

In the light of the candle, her bright and beautiful profile exuded a soft halo.

Her eyes were full of concern and her movements were gentle, while Master Jiang Wu looked at her quietly. There were not many words between the two, but their every move was filled with indescribable warmth and intimacy.

After the servants had prepared the breakfast, the two head maids and Mother Cheng naturally withdrew from the bedroom.

Just like when they were in Yuanyuan Hall, Master Wu and his wife were left alone.

Tianqing initially planned to help his master wash his hands and face. He stretched out both hands, but when he saw that the lady was taking care of the Fifth Master naturally, he had to give up.

When it was time for breakfast, he went over to offer his hand to serve, but saw Mother Cheng and the two maids turned around and left again.

He maintained this posture and walked out and stood outside the partition.

He You walked by and saw him and asked him, "What are you doing? You have been dazed since early morning."

Tianqing muttered softly: "I just feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden."

The Fifth Master seems gentle on weekdays, but unexpectedly, in front of his wife, he is just like the saying goes: Steel can be turned into soft silk even after being tempered a hundred times.

He You coughed lightly, leaned sideways and said in a low voice: "As a clerk in the outer study, how many maids have you seen?

Keep your eyes open, they are the most useful to the Madam. Be careful not to upset the Madam, or the Fifth Master will ask you to go to Shaoxiu Hall to receive punishment."

"I saw Madam when she was still the eldest daughter of the Gu family... What I'm saying is... Forget it, I can't explain it to Mr. He."

Tianqing turned around and stood at the door of the bedroom, waiting to be called by his master.

Gu Jinchu saw the subtle dark circles under Jiang Wuye's eyes. After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he asked him softly, "Did you not sleep well last night because of the pain?"

When changing the dressing, Wu Ye didn't let her watch or touch it. But she could still imagine how hideous the wound was, and it must have been painful.

Master Jiang Wu took Jin Chu's hand and brought her closer to him. His eyes were gentle and hot, and he stared into her eyes and said with a smile: "Well, I can't sleep without you holding me."

Gu Jinchu's sparkling eyes widened, and she looked at the open partition door somewhat uncomfortably, then touched his forehead with her other hand.

He doesn't have a fever, so why is he talking nonsense?

Master Jiang Wu had a faint smile on his lips, which was not as strong as the tenderness in his eyes. He said in a low voice: "Without me warming your bed...Jin Chu, did you sleep well last night?"

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu's face turned red.

If she wasn't afraid of hurting his wound, she would have covered his mouth. She leaned closer to him and warned him in a low voice: "Your place is small and there's no soundproofing, so don't say anything that could cause misunderstanding."

Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with shyness and anger.

His behavior made her feel as if she were seeing Jiang Nansheng visiting her boudoir at night and demanding a kiss in the carriage with green curtains, and wanting her to take responsibility.

Master Jiang Wu smiled, and his low, hoarse voice made one's heart beat wildly.

He clasped his uninjured hand behind her head, and the two of them were very close.

So close that their breaths are entangled in the space between the inches, giving rise to a tenderness like rubbing ears against each other.

The crackling sound of the charcoal fire in the brazier seemed to add cheers to the ambiguous atmosphere.

Neither of them noticed that several servants outside the partition had already gone away.

"I am just blurting out what I am thinking...Jinchu, I miss you so much..." Master Jiang Wu's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was whispering in his ear.

Gu Jinchu looked at the pair of eyes as bright as stars under his thick eyelashes like crow feathers, and couldn't help but raise her head and gently touch the corner of his lips.

He whispered, "The hot water bottle is not as useful as Master Wu."

Wu Ye has a hot body. Having him around is like being like a big stove, and the quilt is warm everywhere.

Mr. Jiang Wu said that he didn't sleep well and missed her, and he wasn't lying just to please her.

He has been sleeping with Jin Chu in his arms for so long, and he has become accustomed to having her around.

He was so worried in his heart that if his physical condition did not allow it, he would definitely go to Yuanyuantang.

So he didn't sleep well that night.

The moment she appeared in Zhuli Pavilion, he wanted to hug her, kiss her, and do all the passionate things.

Now that she took the initiative to kiss him, it seemed to ignite him instantly.

Master Jiang Wu chased her lips, pressed his entire lips against hers and said, "...Jin Chu misses me too, right?"

His voice seemed to bewitch her heart. Gu Jinchu felt his lips opening and closing against hers. The wrinkles on his lips, which were cracked due to blood loss and lack of water, seemed to have little hooks, leading her to nod involuntarily.

When she heard the low laugh pouring out of his mouth, it seemed as if she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

The two people's lips were pressed tightly together.

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but distance the two of them, stood up from the bed, and said with a red face:

"...I'll come back at lunch time." After saying that, she fled from Zhuli Pavilion with her maids and servants.

After walking for a while in the corridor, Gu Jinchu felt the heat on his face fade away. He said to the maid beside him: "Let's go directly to Minghui Hall."

Madam Jiang should also want to know what is going on with the Fifth Master at this moment.

There is more than just Madam Jiang in the west room of Minghui Hall.

The sisters-in-law in the mansion seemed to be waiting for her here together.
