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

Uncle Jiang Wu sat cross-legged on the big kang by the window, making the cramped space seem even more cramped and leaving him with nowhere to put his long legs.

He held the pen in his right hand, and placed his left hand on the table in front of him, with the six wooden Buddhist beads on his wrist hanging down.

The candlesticks were turned up to their brightest, and a warm yellow glow filled the room, casting a faint halo around his figure.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his expression focused.

As if hearing her footsteps, Mr. Jiang Wu raised his head.

Under the candlelight, his face was as white as jade, his eyes were gentle, and he had a gentle and elegant temperament. He said softly, "I'm back... I'll put my things in order."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchu nodded, lightened his steps, and sat quietly on the edge of the kang.

No wonder all the maids and servants serving in the room went out, and even Jiang Fei was waiting outside the door.

The guards under the veranda were covered in dust. She wondered if Mr. Jiang Wu was handling official business, so he didn't want to be disturbed.

In the past at Yuanyuan Hall, Master Wu would never bring official business back home to handle.

It is not only a national mourning period now, but also a holiday period in the first month of the lunar year.

What kind of major case has made the Dali Temple so busy?

Gu Jinchu took the teacup handed to him by the maid, and without her signal, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao quietly retreated.

The study was very quiet. Apart from the sound of my own breathing, the only sound was the pen hitting paper.

Gu Jinchu carefully took off the embroidered shoes on her feet and leaned back on the soft pillow.

The kang was warm and she planned to sleep on it tonight. The brocade quilt and fur coat had already been brought in by the servants.

Unconsciously, Gu Jinchu's gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand and fell involuntarily on Mr. Jiang Wu who was standing opposite him.

His drooping eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.

It was the first time she saw him so focused. Perhaps because her gaze was too scorching, Master Jiang Wu's crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.

Soon, he put away his pen, looked up at her and said softly, "Are you bored?"

Gu Jinchu straightened up from the soft pillow, resting his elbows on the table, his chin supported by his palms, his watery eyes sparkling with an unconscious allure.

Seeing that the corners of his lips were a little dry, I asked him softly, "Are you thirsty, Master Wu? The tea will get cold soon."

Master Jiang Wu laughed after hearing this, his eyes were deep and seemed to have bright stars in them.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchu asked him softly, "Fifth Master, are you done with your work?"

"Yes." Master Jiang Wu responded softly, took out a seal wrapped in silk cloth from his sleeve, and took out Indonesia, and stamped it on the memorial just now.

Gu Jinchu raised his head slightly and took a look. The seal was engraved with the words "Seal of the Dali Temple".

It is the official seal of Mr. Jiang Wuye.

Apparently her guess was right.

Master Jiang Wu called Bai Shao in and asked her to deliver the memorial in her hand to Jiang Fei who was outside the door.

Then he pushed the kang table in front of the two of them behind him, took Gu Jinchu's hand, held her in his arms and leaned her against the soft pillow.

The movements are gentle, clean and neat, and done in one go.

Gu Jinchu half-lay on his chest and asked him in a low voice: "Fifth Master, what happened?"

Master Jiang Wu put his big hand on the back of her neck and gently stroked her shoulders: "...Jin Chu can spend more time with your mother-in-law in the general's mansion. It was your father who reported Princess Changning to the Dali Temple..."

Gu Jinchu finally understood why he didn't see Fifth Master and Father together today. He nuzzled into his chest and held him tighter.

"Princess Changning's father was indebted to Emperor Taizu, and the Duke of Pei enjoys the Imperial Ancestral Temple... and the Empress Dowager is a daughter of the Cao family. Master Fifth, there will be a lot of obstacles in investigating this case, right?"

Master Jiang Wu held her with one hand and held her fair and delicate hand with the other, rubbing and kneading it in his palm. A gentle voice came from above her head:

"Qin Lang's achievements in the army are not entirely due to his being a close confidant of Minister Zheng. He has also gained the trust of both the late emperor and the new emperor within a few days of returning to Beijing. He has his own strengths..."

Gu Jinchu knew all that he said, and heard him continue, "Princess Changning can no longer shirk responsibility for harming others. And the Cao family has also been implicated."

Gu Jinchu heard this, looked up at Master Jiang Wu and asked, "In other words, Father's outburst will not only avenge his mother, but will also deprive Empress Cao of her power?"

It was Empress Cao who suggested to the late emperor that the gold-thread jade bracelet be given to Concubine Shu to show the great favor of the Duke Dingguo Mansion and the daughter of the Jiang family in the eyes of the emperor.

Among the items that could harm the fetus, some were made by Empress Cao, who was a colluder with the late emperor.

Not only did it damage the foundation of his eldest sister's body, it also almost harmed his Jin Chu and the two children in her belly.

Thinking of this, Master Jiang Wu's extremely gentle face and eyes became sharp.

When Master Jiang Wu heard Jin Chu's question, he let go of her hand, raised his hand and placed it on her raised nipples, and gently hooked his fingertips with thin calluses, and asked her softly, "Have the two little guys been good today?"

Gu Jinchu slowly sat up from his arms, held her belly with both hands, and moved her belly closer to the Fifth Master.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and she said with undisguised joy: "When we were eating the drunken dried fish, the two little guys were still moving."

"Drunken fish?" Master Jiang Wu raised his big hand and lowered his head, "Let me have a taste of this drunken fish..."

Gu Jinchu looked into his turbulent and dark eyes and felt as if he was drunk and became a little dizzy.

"Drunken fish is a specialty of my third aunt's hometown. My children and I like it very much..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in the kiss of Master Jiang Wu.

Gu Jinchu only felt that this kiss was extremely hot.

The faint aroma of wine in her mouth suddenly became strong, making the kisses on her face, lips, neck, and the arms in front of her become hot.

As he moved, the beads on Master Jiang Wu's wrist made a slight sound, and then his restrained breathing stopped beside her ear.

Master Wu Jiang raised his hands, placed them on her sides, and looked at her from top to bottom.

Then came a particularly quick and brief kiss, which instantly took away Gu Jinchu's breath and left her exposed skin stained with a layer of peach pink.

Her skin was naturally fair, tender and smooth, and just looking at it seemed as if it was emitting an alluring fragrance, waiting for him to pick it.

After Mr. Jiang Wu kissed her, he got off the kang, stood at the edge of the kang, raised his hands, and slowly straightened his collar and sleeves.

After a few breaths, the body calmed down a little, but still felt awkward.

He picked up the cold tea on the kang table and drank two sips in succession.

They are at Jin Chu's maternal grandfather's house...they can't do anything too intimate.

Gu Jinchu moved to the edge of the kang and sat down. Even after Master Jiang Wu regained his composure, the shyness on his face had not yet faded.

Master Jiang Wu raised his hand to stop her from getting up, took the cloak beside him, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead:

"...I will definitely not have time during the day tomorrow. Wait for me for dinner. I will come and accompany you."
