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

"Jiang Fei said that you were going to send fifth brother's wife back to Zheng's house?" Fourth Master Jiang asked him when he saw his fifth brother come in.

After Master Jiang Wu nodded, he stuffed a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier, and then picked up the round sweet potatoes from the basket and threw them in.

Master Jiang stood up from his chair and walked over. He took the fire chopsticks from his fifth brother, adjusted the charcoal fire, and asked him, "Did you not have a good breakfast? You are not doing it right. If the fire is too high, the skin of the sweet potato will be burnt."

Master Jiang Wu looked at the brazier in front of him, smiled and shook his head, "I was afraid that Jin Chu would be bored on the way, so I thought of giving her some time to kill time."

Master Jiang paused, "You can't eat too much of this during pregnancy..."

He handed the chopsticks in his hand to his fifth brother, saying that he couldn't help with this job.

Uncle Jiang Wu was not surprised why his second brother knew all this, nor did he doubt the truthfulness of his words. After all, he and his second sister-in-law raised four children.

I couldn't help but lower my voice and say, "...she just said that casually during breakfast."

They were talking about Jin Chu's childhood at his maternal grandparents' home in Baodi.

At that time, the Zheng family and the Lu family had business dealings, and every winter they would roast sweet potatoes on the farm.

And Master Wu Jiang keenly discovered from Jin Chu's casual words that the eldest son of the Lu family was among them.

Master Jiang Wu still remembers that he once met Lu Zhizhou. At that time, the eldest son of the Lu family was looking at Jin Chu with an obsessed look on his face.

The old lady of the Zheng family, Jin Chu's grandmother, once considered Lu Zhizhou, who knew her grandson well, as a son-in-law.

When Master Jiang Wu heard the news, he lost his composure. He went to visit her boudoir in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that Jinchu was drunk that day and had forgotten everything they had said and done.

The prince heard what his brothers said and leaned back in his chair with a leisurely attitude: "If Fifth Brother's wife wants to eat, Fifth Brother can tell the kitchen. At worst, we will always encounter vendors hawking food on the way back to Zheng's house."

Fourth Master Jiang had a different view: "This is what eldest brother doesn't know... Fifth brother just got married, so he wants to do everything without the help of others."

The prince looked disapproving. His fifth brother was already the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. How could he use his hands to roast sweet potatoes?

Then he heard a crisp sound and looked up in the direction of the sound.

It was the father sitting at the top, his big hands, which were used to wielding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, were peeling walnut kernels.

The prince swallowed what he was about to say and almost choked himself.

On the contrary, Uncle Jiang San, who was standing aside, looked at his second, fourth and fifth brothers with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Duke clapped his hands, and Master Jiang Wu and his two brothers left the brazier and sat in the chairs on both sides.

"When the previous emperor was in power, didn't the Minister of Personnel write a letter requesting to retire?" the Duke asked.

Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment. Ever since his father handed over the tiger talisman, he rarely asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

"With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, there have been major personnel changes in the previous dynasty... His Majesty did not comment on the memorial submitted by Lord Li." Master Jiang replied.

The Duke placed his large hand casually on his leg, "The Jiang family assisted in sending off two generations of previous emperors. If we talk about the favors in the early years, they have all been repaid as the Jiang family kept giving in."

If there is any friendship, it is between him and Emperor Taizu. There is absolutely no reason for the Jiang family to hide their edge again and again.

Besides, the Imperial Concubine Shu in the palace was his wife's legitimate daughter who was raised in the palm of her hand. When Emperor Jianyuan did that, it was his Zhao family that was wronged by the Jiang family first.

After drinking a sip of tea, Master Jiang Wu placed the cup on the coffee table beside him and said, "Today I have something to say to my father and brother..."

At this time, a messenger's voice came from outside the door, "Master, it's the Crown Prince's wife who is looking for you. She said that she has agreed to go back to her family home today, and the Crown Prince's wife has prepared everything. If it's not convenient for you to be here, she will go there first..."

The prince looked a little guilty, and smiled at his father sitting above him.

There was a subtle flash of disappointment in the Duke's eyes. He looked at his eldest son and gestured to him, "...You should take your family to the Yue family."

After hearing this, the prince stood up, bowed to his father and said, "It's all my fault that I was in a low position and was of no help to my brothers in the previous dynasty."

He turned to look at Master Jiang Wu, "Fifth brother, don't delay too long. Your sister-in-law is waiting for you."

After getting on the carriage, the prince vented his dissatisfaction on his wife, "If you want to go back to your parents' home, go back! How can you disturb father and my brothers with such a thing when they are talking?"

Wang didn't know what was going on yet, and she had a gentle smile on her face, "My husband, what are you talking about? We are husband and wife, and we should bring the younger generation with us when we go back home."

She reached out and took a teacup, poured a cup of tea for the prince, and said softly:

"Fifth brother is only a young boy, but he is already the Minister of Dali Temple... Although my husband cannot inherit the title at present, he cannot let his younger brothers lag behind him in official positions."

Wang's words not only failed to comfort her husband, but instead made the prince's face become gloomy.

He laughed coldly, "Why, even you think I'm not as good as them?"

Mr. Jiang Sanye did not enter the government, so he had no say in the affairs of the previous dynasty. After his brother left, he also found an excuse to leave.

He followed the gently closing door and looked at his father and three brothers who were chatting in a detailed manner. Suddenly, he felt that being a wealthy and independent person was also a good choice for him.

After all, he is not the eldest son like his elder brother.

When it comes to studying, he couldn't work as hard as his second and fourth brothers.

He is not as outstanding as his fifth brother. He has the full support of his maternal family, and now even the Yue family can become a strong support for him.

When it comes to the right time, right place and right people, his fifth brother was able to sit on the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. He was filled with pride for having such a brother.

Apart from this, there is not a single unnecessary thought or idea.

......

Gu Jinchu sat in the green-curtained carriage, his eyes fixed on the roasted sweet potatoes that Master Jiang Wu had placed on the small table.

The carriage was filled with the burnt aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, which was rich and tempting.

Her sparkling eyes were full of surprise, and she asked with a smile: "Didn't Master Wu go out to discuss something? Did you bake this?"

Master Jiang Wu still remembered what his second brother said, so he didn't let Jin Chu eat more. He asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

Seeing Gu Jinchu nod with satisfaction, he continued to ask her: "How does it compare to the roasted sweet potatoes you ate when you were a child?"

Gu Jinchu wiped the sugar stains off his fingertips and suddenly understood why Fifth Master did this.

He is jealous...

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled slyly, "Of course Fifth Master's cooking skills are better!"

Master Jiang Wu sat beside her, held her in his arms, and kissed the top of her head.

What I was thinking about was what I had just said to my father and brother.

The late Emperor Jianyuan had always been wary of the military power in the hands of the Jiang family, and currently Mr. Zheng Sanye is the Minister of War.

The reason why the Second Prince dared to attempt a mutiny was that Chang Xin was a member of the Second Prince's faction. What Zhao Xu was eyeing was the military power in his hands.
