After Gu Jinchu and the others had finished their dinner, the ladies realized that their husbands had come.

The relaxing and pleasant time always passed by like a flash. Although the ladies enjoyed the atmosphere not long ago, it was getting late and they all said goodbye.

Li's eyes flashed, and compared with the joy on Liu and Zhang's faces, her expression was a little indifferent.

When Mr. Jiang San came to pick up the mother and son, Jiang Chengbin asked to hold his father's hand with one hand and his mother's hand with the other.

I feel that this is what my two cousins ​​meant by proof that my parents have a good relationship.

When he saw his second uncle and fourth uncle holding his cousin in their arms, he tilted his neck and asked Master Jiang San, "Father, don't you like your sister?"

Mr. Jiang San didn't know how to answer for a moment and looked at Li beside him.

Li seemed not to notice the Third Master's gaze. She lowered her head and said to her son, "You are my only child. Isn't it good to give all my love to you?"

...

Master Jiang Wu held Gu Jinchu in his arms and stood at the hanging flower gate of Yuanyuan Hall. They watched the light of the lanterns not far away getting smaller and smaller, then the two turned around and walked back.

"Are you tired?" Mr. Jiang Wu asked in a low voice.

On early spring nights, the breeze blows gently, bringing a slight chill, and the temperature is much lower than during the day.

Gu Jinchu was wearing a cloak, and her whole body was covered by it, which made her look a little bloated in her eyes.

When Master Jiang Wu spoke, there was a faint smell of alcohol floating in the air.

Gu Jinchu knew that Fourth Master Jiang was addicted to alcohol in his previous life. He didn't know how much he could drink, but he had never seen him drink too much, which was mostly due to Zhang's dislike.

Master Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and saw the smile lines on her lips, then he put his arms around her waist and half hugged her.

The temperature of the palm on his waist startled Gu Jinchu, who had not yet answered Jiang Wuye's question. He whispered, "I'm not tired. Wuye, accompany me for a walk in the yard."

Master Jiang Wu slid his arm around her waist and took her hand, interlocking their fingers.

The wall lamps on the corridor were dim, and even without lanterns, the two people could see the square bricks under their feet clearly.

Gu Jinchu looked at the shadows of the two people and his own bloated waist, which made him look even more muscular than Master Jiang Wu.

She pouted slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Master Jiang Wu also followed her gaze and said with a smile, "In a few months, the two little ones will be born. In a few months more, we will be able to take them for a walk in the yard. The shadows of two people will become those of four people."

Gu Jinchu blinked and looked at him. Those bad emotions, before they could ferment, were diluted by the pictures he described.

"Why have I never seen Fifth Master be so good at coaxing people before?" she said softly.

Uncle Jiang Wu smiled, gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips, leaned down and picked her up sideways under her smiling gaze.

Gu Jinchu quickly put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Fifth Master!"

Then she heard his low laugh, which seemed to ring against her ear bones, "You have to be a mother to know that I can coax people?"

The ebony scent on his body was mixed with the aroma of wine, the smell of autumn dew. As he walked, Gu Jinchu felt that he was gradually getting the smell of alcohol.

She rested her head on his broad arms and whispered softly, "I'm pregnant. Is Fifth Master's injury okay?"

"Hold on tight." Hearing these three words from Fifth Master, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but tighten his arms around his neck.

Only then did she understand the deep meaning of his words.

Master Jiang Wu released the hand that was around her waist, held her with one hand, and lifted the door curtain of the main room with the other hand.

He responded to her question with practical actions.

After entering the main hall, Master Jiang Wu carried her directly to the west side room, put her on the big kang by the window, lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Do you want to take a bath before going to bed today, or soak your feet and go to bed directly?"

Gu Jinchu thought for a moment and said, "Master Wu has to attend the morning court tomorrow, so let's go to bed after soaking our feet."

The Fifth Master went to the bathroom to wash up, and she washed her face with the help of the servants. By the time the Fifth Master came back after cleaning up, she had already applied the ointment on her waist and abdomen, so it didn't take too much time.

After hearing what her master said, Bai Shao turned around and passed on her instructions.

Soon, the maid came in with a foot bath. Gu Jinchu took off her embroidered shoes, put her feet on the edge of the kang and covered them with her skirt. She looked up at Master Jiang Wu and asked, "Master Wu, aren't you going to wash up?"

Master Wu Jiang sat down beside her and reached out to help her take off her socks. Gu Jinchu subconsciously pressed the hem of her skirt, "Master Wu, let's not do that. Bai Shao and the others are here."

When she woke up in the morning, she found that her feet were beginning to swell, and she didn't want him to see them like this.

Master Jiang Wu reached out his big hand and held her ankle in his warm palm. Gu Jinchu didn't feel how tightly he held it, but she couldn't break free.

"Jinchu, be good. You're pregnant, how are you going to wash yourself?" His voice was low and gentle.

Gu Jinchu wanted to say, didn’t she just say that the maid was here?

I just don't want him to see me when I'm embarrassed and awkward.

Except for the time when Wu Ye showed strong attitude when he was in love, at this moment, he also showed a tough attitude that was extremely rare in normal times.

After washing and wiping her feet, I carried her back to the bed.

The dim candlelight in the room seemed to be blocked by his tall body. Gu Jinchu curled up her toes. The warm water temperature and the rough touch of his fingertips were still there.

Master Jiang Wu sighed softly, took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and held her in his arms.

A low and helpless voice came from above her head, "It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you shy? This is only the second trimester, there's still the third trimester and delivery, are you going to hide from me all the time?"

Gu Jinchu wanted to say, how could they be the same.

Suddenly, it dawned on her that in her previous life, when she was six months pregnant, her mother passed away suddenly, leaving her heartbroken and in a daze for a while.

Could it be that during that period, the person who served her closely was Mr. Jiang Wu?

By the time she had forced herself to calm down and recover for the sake of her unborn baby, she was already in the late stage of pregnancy.

At that time, my body was swollen so badly that I felt ugly and didn't want to let Master Wu see it. It was not until I gave birth to my first son and was out of confinement that I let Master Wu get close to me.

Thinking back to the past, Bai Shao always had the look of wanting to say something but stopping herself, and the soft sighs in my ears when it was late at night and I was drowsy. Those were probably Fifth Master.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

She turned her head and hugged Jiang Wuye tightly, leaning against his neck, her arms tightening around his waist.

Master Jiang Wu raised his hand to smooth her black hair and whispered in her ear: "Jin Chu, you are pregnant with twins, so your body is heavier than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. Bai Zhi is the only one who is stronger than you. I don't trust them to serve you. Do you understand?"

Gu Jinchu just nodded and shook his head in his arms, but never said a word.

Master Jiang Wu laughed softly, "You are so delicate. If your child cries like you in the future, I will be very strict with him."

After hearing what he said, Gu Jinchu spoke with a nasal voice, "Those who love to cry are also Fifth Master's children. You can't be mean to them."

Thinking that Master Jiang Wu would be like the Duke in the future, with a stern face and a serious expression scolding her children, Gu Jinchu began to feel sorry for them.

Hearing her dissatisfied voice, Master Jiang Wu turned his head slightly to look at her, "You're protecting the baby like this before it's even born?"

Gu Jinchu couldn't hide, so he raised his head and looked at him with red eyes.

Master Jiang Wu could only compromise and said, "Okay, okay... spoil them, coax them, I will always find a way to teach them well."

Gu Jinchu felt that he was now coaxing her like a child. She pursed her lower lip and twisted her hand around his waist, but she didn't twist it twice in a row.

The laughter in Master Jiang Wu's throat grew louder, and Gu Jinchu supported his chest and leaned over to cover his mouth.
