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

Bai Wei is smart and sweet-spoken, and used to be the most favored maid around Gu Jinchu.

Her food, clothing and other necessities were the best among the servants, and she wore clothes of silk and satin, so that she could be said to be a young lady from any family.

After returning to my brother's house for more than two months, I have become thinner and more haggard.

It makes the eyes look particularly big and pitiful.

Gu Jinchu asked Bai Zhi to pull her up, her voice somewhat cold, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, it's not proper for you to kneel down like this, come in and talk if you have something to say."

Bai Zhi's grip was very strong and she didn't hold back, causing Bai Wei to want to scream out in pain, but she didn't dare to open her mouth when she thought of Gu Jinchu's attitude.

There are two maids beside Gu Jinchu, one is Bai Wei and the other is Bai Zhi.

Bai Wei is popular, and Bai Zhi has a childhood friendship with Gu Jinchu.

Those servants really liked Bai Wei and were too respectful to Bai Zhi.

So when she came back, she knew that the most valued people around the third young lady were Baizhi and Baishao.

Seeing Gu Jinchu come in and sit on the kang by the window, he walked over and knelt at her feet.

"Miss Third, the doctor said that my leg bones have closed and I can walk."

"I thought you were used to having me around, so I came back to serve you."

Bai Wei had been observing Gu Jinchu as she said this, with a few tears falling down her cheeks, and she spoke with great emotion.

Gu Jinchu instructed Bai Shao, "Distribute the fruits you brought back to each courtyard, and go to Moxiangju to tell mother. I will go and pay my respects after I wash myself."

Bai Zhi was packing Gu Jinchu's boxes in the inner room. The master and the servant, one sitting and one kneeling, were talking in front of the Arhat bed.

"I remember that Bai Zhi hired a doctor for you and left you half a year's salary. How come you have spent all the money?"

Bai Wei glanced at the watermelon on the kang table, lowered her eyes and put away the emotions in her eyes:

"No... but there is some. It's what ordinary people can eat at home. The doctor was found by you, Miss Third, and the medicine was paid for. I just can't bear to leave you, Miss."

Gu Jinchu leaned on the big kang and tilted his head to look at her. "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you come back to serve me like this, who knows what people outside will say about me."

She said self-deprecatingly, "I just realized how bad my reputation is outside. I'm about to reach the age of marriage, and I can't let anyone catch me with something."

His words were still as innocent and domineering as before.

Bai Wei took two steps on her knees with red eyes, and lay down beside Luohan's bed, "Miss Third, do you not want me anymore?"

Gu Jinchu sighed, "I heard from Bai Zhi that your brother is doing well now. I thought he would redeem you. After all, you are not young anymore, and it is time for you to get married."

When Bai Wei heard Gu Jinchu's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then her tears flowed even more violently. She lay on the kang and sobbed while speaking:

"My brother was so focused on getting a good reputation that he sold me out. There was no more affection between us. He just wanted to see me being favored by the young lady. This time, I am recuperating from my injuries and I can see clearly what kind of person he is."

Gu Jinchu looked at her behavior, glanced at Bai Zhi who was sitting in front of the vertical cabinet, and saw the maid curl her lips and smile.

This is where Bai Wei's cleverness lies. She speaks in a mixed way, making it impossible for people to find the flaws in her words. Why didn't she notice it before?

Of course Gu Jinchu wanted to keep her, hoping that she would catch a big fish, but he just let her guard down.

"When it comes to being attentive, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao are not as good as you. How about this, you go to the small kitchen to help the cook first, and come back to me when your leg is fully healed. The monthly allowance will still be given to you according to the previous head maid."

When Bai Wei heard this, she raised her head with undisguised joy on her face, but Gu Jinchu had no idea what she was happy about.

"Thank you, Third Miss. Thank you for your kindness."

Gu Jinchu waited until she kowtowed several times before he stopped her and asked the maid outside to help her out.

Bai Zhi came back and whispered to Gu Jinchu, "Miss San, as you instructed, Xiao He sent Bai Wei back to her room."

Xiao He is a little girl with long hair in Sui'antang. She is thinner than her peers.

He has the kind of appearance that is easily overlooked in a crowd, but if you look closely, you will find a pair of bright and energetic eyes.

...

When Gu Jin first came to Moxiangju, Zheng was directing the maids to pick locust tree flowers.

She raised her hand to stop Tong's mother and the others from speaking, and quietly walked behind her mother, just like she did when she was a child.

"Mother!"

Zheng had already seen it from the shadow on the ground, but she waited for her daughter to speak before turning around and scolding her with a smile, "Naughty."

He took Gu Jinchu's hand and looked her up and down. "You looked better after being at your grandparents' house for a few days. Why didn't you stay longer?"

Gu Jinchu didn't notice that his mother had seen through him, and smiled brightly, "Because I know that the locust flowers in your yard are edible."

Zheng looked at the locust flowers in the maids' baskets and told them to pick more. She turned to Gu Jinchu and said, "For dinner, ask the cook to make locust flower dumplings for Chu Jieer, and fry some of the rest."

Gu Jinchu smiled and said yes. Her mother said that her complexion had improved. She actually felt that her mother seemed to have lost some weight and her chin had become sharper.

After learning from my grandmother what my father and the Gu family had done, I felt even more sorry for my mother and felt that it was not worth it for her.

Zheng and her daughter sat on a bench in the yard, enjoying their leisure time after leaving home.

"Mother Tong said that Bai Wei who was with you is back."

Gu Jinchu nodded and told his mother his plan. Of course, he only used Bai Wei's disloyalty as an excuse and wanted to know what the purpose of the person behind it was.

Zheng looked down at her elder sister Chu, who was still like when she was a child, always picking out all the seeds when eating watermelon.

Her Jin Chu seemed to have grown up overnight. He was now able to stand on his own feet and do things thoughtfully without her guidance.

"Chu Jie'er, during the few days you were back in Baodi, something big happened at home."

Gu Jinchu paused for a moment. It wasn't the day for the results to be announced yet, so what big deal could it be?

Then I heard my mother continue: "Your father's love for anyone is superficial. What he really cares about is his career and the dignity he has always wanted to maintain..." Zheng's smile was a little inexplicable, "Chun Xing is pregnant."

Gu Jinchu: "..."

She remembered that in her previous life, this concubine Chun Xing fell out of favor in less than half a year. It seemed that she was sold off for some reason. How come she was pregnant?

Gu Yan and Li Xianglian were in the bamboo pavilion of Tingyuxuan, with fruits sent by Gu Jinchu placed in front of them.

Gu Yan fiddled with the cherries with her little finger, and said in a dull voice, "Mother, if Chun Xing gives birth to a baby boy, the second lady will definitely keep the baby in her name, then you..."

Li Xianglian looked in the direction of Zizhu Pavilion and said in a light voice, "It's just a piece of meat now, it hasn't been born yet!"

"Even if you are born, it is still uncertain whether you can survive..."
