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

Wang's smile deepened, and she said softly, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do. It's just like when I first got married, your teaching and tolerance towards me... I will naturally pass it on."

Old Madam Jiang sat upright on the Luohan bed, her face kind and peaceful, "This family will always have to be supported by Chengming and his wife in the future... It's a good thing that you can think about the children like this."

Wang's hands hidden in her sleeves loosened a little. Regardless of whether her mother-in-law's words were sincere or not, they gave her peace of mind.

But he is still obsessed with the power in the hands of his second brother and sister-in-law.

At the moment, she couldn't ask for it directly, which made the smile on her face fade a little.

"Now that I've become a grandmother, I understand my mother's good intentions. I rely on my second brother and his wife to help me on weekdays... Just like my mother said, when Shu Hui can take charge of his own business, I will be the boss."

If Fifth Master hadn't mentioned that he was planning to move out in the future, Gu Jinchu wouldn't have thought much about what his mother-in-law had just said.

For a moment, I couldn't find what was wrong.

Gu Jinchu carefully placed his sleeping daughter in his arms on the small bed, then lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping faces of the two children.

He was immediately surprised, and his eyes involuntarily turned to Old Madam Jiang who was talking to several sisters-in-law.

Her words just now apparently showed her satisfaction with Wang's actions in teaching her eldest daughter-in-law.

But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it's hinting at something...

In her previous life, until her death, the Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince.

He is the young master who has become a grandfather and is talked about by everyone in Shengjing City.

When Madam Jiang saw her daughter-in-law looking over, she smiled at her and said, "Both children are asleep, Jinchu should take a rest as well. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law still have a lot of things to do."

If Wang hadn't been so overreaching, she wouldn't have bothered to interfere with the housekeeper's power.

After Madam Jiang and several sisters-in-law left, Gu Jinchu asked someone to bring the account book over.

In order to avoid hurting her eyes during the confinement period, some letters were read to her by the maid, but the account books had already piled up into a thick stack.

Among these were the farms and shops that she brought as a dowry, as well as the private property of the Fifth Master, all of which had been taken over by her.

At the moment, Master Wu probably doesn't know how much he is worth, let alone how much private money she has.

Probably the biggest difference after having a child is that her work efficiency has dropped many times compared to before.

When Jiang Wuye came back from work, the account book was still spread out on the table on the big kang by the window. Gu Jinchu was sitting next to the small bed, holding something in his hand and talking to the children in a soft voice.

Nuonuo and Tuanzi are just one month old, and since they can’t sit, they won’t be able to see their father coming back.

Gu Jinchu lay on the fence of the crib, holding up the two children's hands, and said with a smile: "Dad is back. When you grow up and can talk, you must be polite and good children."

Master Jiang Wu came over and stood beside her, lowered his eyes to look at the children, and said softly, "Are they well behaved today?"

Gu Jinchu took the five-beam crown from his hand, helped him take off his official uniform, and smiled as he told him what had happened during the day.

After hearing about giving the children a bath, Uncle Jiang Wu seemed to have thought of something, his face full of memories.

"When I was young, I followed my father to learn martial arts. He always placed a large wooden barrel filled with water in the corner of the martial arts arena. By the afternoon, the water inside had been heated by the sun, and I would stay inside and didn't like to come out."

When Gu Jinchu thought of that scene, he felt that it was in stark contrast to the impression he gave people.

Master Jiang Wu put his arm around her waist, gently rubbed the soft flesh around her waist, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You can wear clothes."

Gu Jinchu suppressed his laughter, looked up to meet his smiling eyes, and couldn't help but coughed lightly: "Fifth Master, do you know the saying - the more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes?"

Master Jiang Wu put a little force on his arm around her waist, letting her upper body press against his chest. He said in a low voice, "Except when I was a child and needed someone to take care of me, I have only been honest with my wife."

"You?" After he finished speaking, Gu Jinchu felt heat rising to his face.

Jiang Wuye lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a look that had a lot of meaning that Gu Jinchu could understand. He asked her to raise her hand and lightly hit his thick chest twice.

Uncle Jiang Wu held her hand in his and led her to sit on the kang by the window.

When Gu Jinchu saw the servant coming in to serve tea and put away the account book on the table, he thought of the conversation between Madam Jiang and Wang today.

After the servants left, he asked Master Jiang Wu about his doubts.

"I think my father and mother have their own considerations." Master Jiang Wu lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, his voice still low and hoarse: "There will be changes in the court, but it will not affect our Jiang family."

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, didn't he move the imperial examination forward two years later?" Gu Jinchu looked curious:

"...The new emperor has taken power, and the previous dynasty has been injected with a batch of fresh blood. What? Are the old ministers no longer useful?"

Master Jiang Wu put down his teacup, reached out and touched the top of her head, and said slowly: "Only you dare to say such words."

When Gu Jinchu saw that Master Wu did not refute or correct her, she knew that she had guessed a little bit, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Except for the two babies in the family, Master Wu is the only one who would talk to me about this."

Apart from Mr. Jiang Wu, there are probably not many officials in Shengjing City who can discuss state affairs with the women in the rear quarters.

When Wang returned to Songtao Garden, Meng was playing in the courtyard with her eldest son Chen Ge'er and the ninth young master Jiang Chengliang.

When Meng saw her mother-in-law coming back, she brought her two children over and respectfully bowed to her and greeted her.

Wang looked at the butterfly caught in the net in her eldest grandson's hand and said in a deep voice, "Come in with me."

Meng asked her maid to take the two children back.

She followed her mother-in-law alone and walked towards the main hall.

After Wang entered the room, she sat in the chair at the head of the table, picked up the tea that the eldest daughter-in-law had served her, lowered her head and drank two sips before she spoke:

"Brother Chen is three years old. Several brothers in the family were already enlightened when they were his age."

Seeing that her mother-in-law did not show any signs of anger, Meng slowly sat down on the brocade stool beside her and said softly:

"I wonder if mother-in-law has any candidate in mind for the gentleman? My daughter-in-law's family once mentioned in a letter that there is an old gentleman in the clan school who is well-educated and patient..."

After several years of living together, she knew her mother-in-law's temperament very well. Whenever she took the initiative to bring up something, her mother-in-law would definitely refute her.

She had made plans for her son long ago, so she had waited until today.

He took his eldest son and ninth brother to chase butterflies in order to test his mother-in-law's attitude.

Wang didn't say anything, but lowered her eyes to look at the tea in the teacup.

Her mother has already sent three letters, asking her and the Crown Prince to go to the Duke and to ask Fifth Master Jiang to plead for help in helping the Wang family overcome the current difficulties.

She knew deep down that this was impossible.

At present, the relationship with the Wang family behind her can no longer be used by her, and what makes her even more worried is that it will affect her one day.

This also made her feel more threatened.

Wang put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, her attitude was unprecedentedly gentle, "Since my in-laws have considered everything for Brother Chen, how can I refuse such kindness!"

Meng lowered her head, stood up from the brocade stool, and said softly, "Since mother agrees, I will write a letter to my parents when I return home."

Wang looked at her unpleasant appearance and waved her hand, "Go, go down."

Meng bowed respectfully to her mother-in-law and walked out.

......

Another half month passed, and Gu Jinchu had been in confinement for a full 45 days, and finally made it through.

That morning, after she sent Master Jiang Wu off to attend the morning court, she soaked in the bathtub in the bathroom for a long time.

The moment he stood up, Gu Jinchu felt relaxed and refreshed.
