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

Before getting married, Gu Jinchu's appearance was already famous in Shengjing City.

At this moment, her youthful look has faded away, her face is as rosy as a peach, and her appearance is becoming more and more bright and charming.

Her skin, as delicate as snow, was tinged with crimson, her sparkling eyes were full of life, and her every frown and smile made Master Jiang Wu's heart flutter.

Especially after saying these words, Master Jiang Wu could no longer control himself.

As she moved, the ties of her clothes loosened a little, and in the light of the candlelight, her snow-white skin looked like the finest silk, exuding a faint, alluring luster.

Last night was the first time they slept separately after their marriage, even after Jin Chu became pregnant.

This night was particularly long for Master Jiang Wu.

Such enthusiasm of Jin Chu made Jiang Wuye indulge in it, but he still retained his rationality.

He pulled her hand to stop her, his voice low and dark: "Jin Chu..."

She is pregnant.

"Yeah, I know..." Gu Jinchu leaned down, and the fragrance on his body became stronger.

The aroma lingered between the two of them, making their breath hot.

The maid guarding outside the inner room lowered her head and walked quietly to the door of the main room and sat down.

The sunlight slanted down from the eaves, shining on them, making them feel warm.

Bai Zhi and Bai Shao looked at each other. Bai Shao took out a handful of nougat from her pocket with a calm expression and said softly, "Guard Jiang just came over to apologize... Let's share it."

Bai Zhi raised the back of her hand and placed it against her face to cool herself down, then she let out a light breath.

He picked up a candy from her hand, peeled off the outer layer of oil paper, put it in his mouth and said vaguely: "That guard Jiang didn't say anything?"

Bai Shao's cheeks bulged and she shook her head, "Then I don't know. He asked Mother Cheng to convey it."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand again, "Take two more, and give the rest to Bai He and Bai Tao later."

Bai Zhi sighed. This silly girl Bai Shao had no idea about love at all.

It would have been fine if Guard Jiang had just sent medicine, but his intention in sending candy was obvious.

At this time, He You came from the second entrance through the courtyard. The dazzling sunlight outlined his slender figure. Seeing Bai Zhi's mouth moving, he whispered to her: "...What do you want to eat?"

Bai Zhi opened her palm, which contained the nougat that she had just taken from Bai Shao. "Guardian Jiang bought this. Do you want some?"

He You's heart sank. He didn't expect that Jiang Fei actually knew this trick!

He stood at the foot of the stone steps and bowed, saying, "Miss, please help pass the message. I have something urgent to discuss with my wife."

Bai Shao, who was standing by, swallowed the food in her mouth and said to him, "No... Not for now!"

Bai Zhi then asked him, "But what did you say in Zhuli Pavilion at that time? If it's urgent, I will go in and report to Mr. He."

It would be bad to delay Master Wu's important work.

He You's earlobes were red. Seeing the two maids standing side by side in front of the main door, he seemed to understand the reason.

He coughed lightly and whispered, "When it's convenient, you can help me report it later."

Seeing that He You was not leaving yet, Bai Shao couldn't leave either, leaving Bai Zhi to face the strange man alone.

The two maids stood in the sunlight on the stone steps in front of the door, and He You stood under the veranda on one side, keeping a distance from them.

He You and Jiang Fei were both capable people around the Fifth Master, so Bai Shao didn't think too much about it. She looked up and asked He You: "Would you like some candy? Guard Jiang brought it over and shared it with everyone."

After hearing this, He You first looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi looked like, “What else?”

He You reached out and took a square piece of nougat, a faint smile appeared on his face, he lowered his eyes and bowed to Bai Shao and said, "Thank you, Miss Bai."

As the servants were talking, a rustling sound was heard from behind the red curtain of the step-out bed in the inner room.

Gu Jinchu sat up, her fair shoulders tinged with pink beneath her black hair, and the straps of her bellyband hung loosely around her snow-white neck.

Her face flushed, her fingers trembled, and she raised her arm to tie the belt.

Uncle Jiang Wu was lying on his side, with a look of great satisfaction on his face.

The exposed earlobe was so red that it looked like it was dripping with blood.

Seeing her put on her clothes, he said softly, "It's He You... He told me a few days ago that he had taken a fancy to the maidservant beside you and wanted to ask Madam for a favor."

Gu Jinchu turned his head and looked at him. The moisture in his eyes had not yet faded. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse: "Bai Zhi or Bai Shao?"

She had read the booklet that He You handed over.

To be honest, the strategist beside the Fifth Master was not the candidate she was satisfied with.

Master Jiang Wu pulled the messy brocade quilt closer to him and cleared his throat, "Let him tell you himself... He You's parents are dead, and he is the only one left in this world."

Gu Jinchu nodded. Anyone who could stay with Fifth Master must have extraordinary abilities, but ability does not equal character.

The most important thing is that He You is too good-looking for a man. The personalities of the men Bai Zhi had met before are completely different.

After Gu Jinchu met He You in the study, he left Bai Zhi alone.

Gu Jinchu sat on the Arhat bed with a calm expression, "Come and sit here, I have something to tell you."

Bai Zhi seemed to know what the lady was going to say. She moved a brocade stool over and sat next to her, looking at her with a faint smile.

Gu Jinchu put down the teacup in his hand, "After New Year's Eve, you will be seventeen years old, just like a flower... A few days ago, I asked Manager Tao to sort out the unmarried stewards and village heads in my dowry...

Aside from the age difference, the main reason is that I can't bear to see you leave Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and your mother and brother are both here."

Bai Zhi stood up after hearing this, her eyes were firm and her tone was sincere: "Madam, I am determined to serve you for the rest of my life, unless you don't want me to be your servant anymore."

Gu Jinchu sighed and raised his hand to signal her to sit down.

Bai Zhi had said these words in her previous life, and she believed in Bai Zhi's loyalty. She would also tell Bai Zhi about her plan, and it was up to her to decide what to do.

"Later, I set my sights on the Fifth Master's side. You've met Jiang An and He You. One of them is the chief of the guards of Zhuli Pavilion, and the other is the counselor of the Fifth Master's study...

You have all been in contact with Wu Ye during the past few days when he was injured. Do you think he is getting better?"

Bai Zhi smiled faintly and said, "Madam, I think Mr. He Youhe is good." She had a smile on her face, without the slightest bit of embarrassment or shyness.

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu smiled and asked her, "What a coincidence, He You just came to me to ask for a favor, saying that he wanted to marry Miss Bai Zhi who is by my side."

Bai Zhi nodded, "He Youyou asked me first... He said that this is a sign of respect for me."

This feeling is quite good. Besides being good-looking, He You has another advantage over her.

Gu Jinchu nodded slightly, "You are the eldest maid by my side, you deserve to be valued like this."

Madam's words made Bai Zhi blush, "This is all thanks to Madam!"

Gu Jinchu pulled her hand over and said, "Then it's settled. He You has his own room in the mansion, which can be used as your bridal chamber... He You has no family, so you should discuss it carefully in private..."

Bai Zhi stood up from the brocade stool and kowtowed to the lady, her heart filled with gratitude and joy.

Gu Jinchu nodded and asked her to go out and call Bai Shao in.
