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

In his previous life, Zhao Xu did not give the Chen family any chance to return to Shengjing City.

Under the pretext of sympathizing with General Huaiyuan's advanced age, the Chen family's military power was gradually eroded for various reasons until the Chen family was eliminated and no longer posed a threat to the imperial power.

It is totally different from the current beautiful scene.

The father and son, Emperor Jianming and the late emperor, were surprisingly consistent in their approach to the eldest princess, or the Jiang family behind her.

While being on guard, he also had to use the Chiang family to suppress the forces in the DPRK.

Otherwise, why would Zheng Kaicheng, the top scholar chosen by the previous emperor, be placed in a place like the Zongrenfu?

Mr. Jiang Wu did not intend to mention these things again.

Under the candlelight, his outline was more distinct and his eyes were deep.

He held her hand and placed it under her chin, then used his newly grown stubble to slowly stroke her palm and the inside of her wrist.

Master Jiang Wu lowered his eyes slightly, stared at Gu Jinchu and whispered: "Daxing is under the emperor's feet, and the Qin family is also there. Compared with the several shops you have, Daxing is closer to Gu'an."

Gu Jinchu couldn't stop shrinking because of him. He wanted to escape but couldn't.

Her bright and radiant face showed an expression of wanting to laugh but also of being unable to bear the numbness. She said in a trembling voice, "Why are you talking about this?"

Her sparkling eyes seemed to be filled with water, and looked particularly attractive against the candlelight in the room.

Master Jiang Wu was irritated by her behavior, but then he stopped teasing her with some forbearance.

He raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, tightened his arm around her waist, and said softly: "If you want, we can move to Daxing someday. This way, you will not only feel more comfortable, but it will also be convenient for you to meet your mother-in-law."

When Gu Jinchu heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Of course she thought so!

Although Daxing is only an hour's drive from Gu'an, my mother will soon enter the late stage of pregnancy and is no longer suitable for the fatigue of traveling.

There are only two masters in the Qin family, mother and father. She is always worried because her mother is alone at home on weekdays.

"Has your husband informed your mother-in-law and the Duke? Will they agree? If so, wouldn't it be..." After being pleasantly surprised, Gu Jinchu became hesitant to speak.

She frowned slightly, worry showing in her eyes.

Master Jiang Wu was the youngest son of the Duke. The Duke's wife only gave birth to one daughter and one son in her lifetime.

The eldest daughter was the Shu Concubine in the palace, and they met only a few times throughout the year.

As the only legitimate son of Madam Jiang, if their fifth branch moved out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, it would undoubtedly mean splitting up from the Jiang family.

Now that the Duke is still alive, under such circumstances, anyone proposing to divide the family would be committing a heinous act.

In her previous life, until her death, the various branches of the Jiang family still lived in the Duke Dingguo Mansion, and there was no talk of splitting up the family.

If the Crown Prince inherits the title in the future, and the Wang family proposes to split the family, Gu Jinchu thinks it is very likely.

Right now, I’m afraid it won’t be possible.

Unless something happened that caused unpleasantness between the branches, and unless they had become enemies, it would not have escalated to a separation even if the parents were still alive.

Gu Jinchu suddenly thought of the box of gold bars given by the Duke. Could it be that the Duke was intending to arrange his funeral?

But his body still looks strong.

Otherwise, based on what the Crown Prince and his wife did behind the scenes, they wouldn't have developed such a rift between them.

Master Jiang Wu smiled and said slowly, "It takes time to find a house that suits your taste."

He looked relaxed, not as nervous as she was. He patiently explained to her: "The two children will grow up in the blink of an eye. When they can run around, Yuanyuan Hall will become a little crowded."

Gu Jinchu nodded slightly. She really hadn’t thought that far ahead.

She converted a wing room in the courtyard into a study. When the children grew up, there would not be enough room for them to live in. However, this was not the perfect excuse to move out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Besides, there is a large open space around Yuanyuan Hall, which is considered part of the reserved land.

In the previous life, Yuanyuan Hall was expanded after the eldest son Cheng’en’s one-year-old birthday ceremony.

Speaking of moving out of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, Gu Jinchu really took it to heart. "It's hard to find a house that suits your taste. The main thing to look at is the location and position. As for the rest, even if you spend money, they can meet all your requirements."

"The house in Daxing won't be listed in the pawnshop." Jiang Wuye thought for a moment and said, "Just let the shopkeeper keep an eye on it."

Gu Jinchu nodded.

All the shops under the Fifth Master were also managed by her, and the managers always knew more information than her, a woman in the backyard.

At this time, a servant came to serve dinner, and the two men stopped talking about the matter.

After dinner, it was already late at night.

Gu Jinchu returned to the inner room from the bathroom and glanced at the step-out bed and the children's rocking cribs.

If she brought the two children home to sleep, she would not feel comfortable leaving them alone in the cradle, as if they cried at night, she would not have time to comfort them immediately.

Although the step-out bed allows for more space to be lived in, the children are too young and there are too many concerns, so the room will inevitably be a bit cramped for their family of four.

Besides, Fifth Master has to go on duty tomorrow, so we can’t disturb his rest.

The big kang next to the window in the west room was different. It was spacious enough to meet all her requirements. But it was inconvenient for Wu Ye to sleep there with her and the child.

The Fifth Master would not allow it, so she took the children and left him alone in the inner room.

Master Jiang Wu was already lying on the bed, with the bed curtain at the foot of the bed hanging down slightly, making the light inside the bed particularly dim.

After seeing Jin Chu come in, he patted the seat beside him and asked with a smile: "What are you standing there for?"

Gu Jinchu felt that this question was strangely familiar. Wasn't it that when Fifth Master came back in the afternoon, she had asked him the same question.

The scene changed at this moment, and when I heard this sentence again, my mood was very different.

She turned her eyes and looked beyond the partition. Over there was an ear room to the side of the main hall.

Thinking of the wet nurse sleeping there with her two children, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Therefore, I missed the obvious smile in Fifth Master's eyes.

Gu Jinchu didn't delay any longer, she took off her long-sleeved shirt and placed it on the high table beside the bed, thinking that if the children cried in the middle of the night, she could just put on her shirt and get up.

It was not until she sat on the edge of the bed and turned around that she saw the two little people sleeping on their sides in the bunk bed.

Previously, they were blocked by the tall figure of Mr. Jiang Wu, so she could only see them at this time.

Gu Jinchu pursed his lips lightly, revealing a gentle and sweet smile on his face, "When did Master Wu bring the child over?"
