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

Jiang Chengming is the eldest son of the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson of the Duke. Although he is the eldest brother among his brothers, he is also the most promising one.

He has been around a clean family in Mingzhou over the past few years, which shows that he is a calm and determined person.

Now holding Chen Ge'er, his face was solemn, as if he was trying hard to suppress the emotions surging in his chest.

Gu Jinchu raised his eyes and looked at the child in Jiang Chengming's arms. Chen Ge'er was quiet, with a rosy little face, looking like he was sleeping soundly.

Watching from a distance, there really isn't anything wrong.

Gu Jinchu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arose in her heart, and she winked at Bai Zhi beside her.

Now that you are here, just do your best.

Bai Zhi understood and nodded slightly, then walked over and stood beside the big kang by the window, motioning Jiang Chengming to put Chen Ge'er on it.

After Mrs. Meng invited Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu to take their seats, the maids came over with tea quietly. Her face looked a little pale under the dim light, and she said:

"… Yesterday, my mother went to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, and Chen Ge'er liked this Uncle Nine, so I brought Young Master Nine back.

Everything is fine... I don't know why, but after breakfast, Chen Ge fell asleep and has not been awakened until now. "

Meng's voice trembled slightly, with panic and helplessness, "The food is what Chen Ge'er likes to eat on weekdays, and it was all sent over from the small kitchen.

I was really at a loss, thinking about Miss Bai Zhi's apprenticeship with Mr. Wu Zizhen... I disturbed Aunt Five."

Meng had a gentle personality, but at the moment her face was filled with anxiety. Although she looked flustered, she was still able to clearly describe what had happened in the past two days.

Jiang Chengming stood beside Bai Zhi, looking serious, staring at his son closely with a frown. His eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Master Jiang Wu put down the teacup in his hand, and the crisp clinking sound was particularly clear in the quiet room. He looked at his nephew and asked, "Where is Chengliang now? How is his health?"

Jiang Chengming said: "After mother came back from the palace, it was Zhang Ma who was beside her who took my ninth brother back with her."

He remained silent about the Ninth Young Master's condition, his eyes flickered and his expression was a little unnatural, which made people feel very suspicious.

When Gu Jinchu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Fifth Master asked this, and Jiang Chengming's reaction... Could it be that Wang did something to Ninth Young Master and implicated Chen Ge'er?

Bai Zhi just took her hand away from Chen Ge'er's wrist, and Jiang Chengming asked, "Miss Bai Zhi, do you know when Chen Ge'er will wake up?"

As soon as he said this, Master Jiang Wu looked at him and frowned slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Since you know that Brother Chen is fine, why do you go to Yuanyuan Hall to invite Bai Zhi over?

Bai Zhi walked back to her master and whispered, "Master Chen'er's pulse is weak and soft, coming and going slowly, so he feels heavy... He will wake up when he wakes up! But if this continues for a long time, it will have some impact on him in the future."

Jiang Chengming turned sideways and gently placed Chen Ge'er's small hand under the brocade fur coat, then carefully pressed the back corner so that people could not see the expression on his face.

Mrs. Meng walked over and sat on the edge of the kang, looking at her son who was sleeping soundly, and she was about to cry. Tears were flashing in her eyes, and her face was full of tension and sadness, which did not seem fake.

She raised her hand and stroked her son's forehead, her gentle gesture filled with endless pity.

Meng looked up at Bai Zhi with hope on her face, as if the last hope was on her:

"Miss Baizhi, do you have any way to treat it? It's not a solution if I keep sleeping like this!" Her voice was filled with urgency and pleading.

"...You might as well take a look at it tomorrow morning." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, the room became a little cold, making people feel depressed.

Gu Jinchu also noticed the strange atmosphere between Jiang Chengming and Meng.

She placed the untouched teacup in her hand on the small table beside her and said, "In that case, Chengming, Shuhui, I won't disturb you from resting."

When Mrs. Meng heard this, she raised her head and the tears that had been in her eyes fell down. “Fifth Aunt…” Her voice was full of helplessness.

At this time, Wang came in with her maids and servants, followed by the prince.

The robes on the prince seemed to have been put on in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the room, he brought with him a smell of powder. The smell filled the air, making people frown.

"Fifth brother, your wife is here, why don't you go to Songtao Garden for a visit?" Wang said as she walked in with a faint smile on her face.

Her smile seemed kind, but it didn't reach her eyes. When she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was about to overflow, so her face did not look very good.

The prince sat in the chair, and the buttons on his collar were finally buttoned up. He looked at Fifth Master Jiang and asked him, "Fifth brother, you came to see Chengming so late, but has he got a job in Beijing?"

His eyes were filled with anticipation and eagerness, and he ignored his fifth brother's answer and spoke to himself, "Your eldest nephew has made good achievements in Mingzhou in recent years. It would be great if he could join the cabinet.

Not to mention that he is the eldest grandson of our Duke Dingguo Mansion, just because your uncle saved the new emperor's life, the new emperor should also arrange a good position for Chengming."

The prince could not hide his pride in his tone, and he looked as if it was a matter of course, as if everything was under his control.

Fifth Master Jiang smiled, his voice calm and steady, "Officials who return to Beijing to report on their duties will be arranged by the Ministry of Personnel at its discretion. What you said is not as good as what you said to your second brother. If you want Cheng Ming to come to the Dali Temple, I can mediate a little."

Wang's face changed drastically after hearing this, and she said anxiously, "Chengming doesn't have the skills of my fifth brother. I'm afraid there is no position in the Dali Temple that he can handle...

"Thank you for your concern, my grandfather would prefer that he go to the cabinet. Or when my fifth brother first entered the government, it would be more suitable for him to go to the Hanlin Academy."

Jiang Erye was the Minister of Personnel and held considerable power. Jiang Wuye's grandfather was the president of the Hanlin Academy, had many students, and held an important position in the court.

Chengming is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family. The official position he wants to obtain when he returns to Beijing to report on his work can be said to be a piece of cake considering the power that the Jiang family currently holds in the court.

Wang was determined not to let her eldest son go to a place like the Dali Temple.

"Father! Mother!"

Jiang Chengming held his son in his arms and reminded him, looking helpless and tired.

Master Jiang Wu held Gu Jinchu's hand and stood up. After saying goodbye, he said, "It's late at night. There are still some rules to follow during the mourning period."

The prince straightened his clothes, his expression a little uncomfortable, and nodded: "Of course, Fifth Brother and Second Brother will go to the palace to mourn tomorrow, so I won't keep you and your sister-in-law here any longer."

Gu Jinchu nodded slightly towards the Crown Prince and his wife without saying much.

The prince stood up to see him off, and reminded Fifth Master Jiang, "Fifth brother, when you see Second Brother tomorrow, don't forget to discuss what Big Brother said just now with him.

After all, Chengming is the eldest grandson of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and I can't let him be looked down upon like my father."

Master Jiang Wu turned his head and said in a gentle voice, "When the late emperor was alive, he praised Cheng Ming's memorials to Mingzhou. Brother, there is no need to belittle yourself on Cheng Ming's behalf."

The prince stood at the door of the main hall, watching his fifth brother and his wife disappear into the Chuihua Gate with their men.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew over him, and he finally realized that his fifth brother's words just now actually had a deeper meaning.
