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

When Gu Jinchu heard what Mother Cheng said, he looked up at Uncle Jiang Wu and saw that he had a calm expression.

He seemed not surprised at all, and seemed indifferent.

Master Jiang Wu took her hand and led her back to the main hall, and ordered the servants to carry hot water to the bathroom.

After hearing what he said, Gu Jinchu stopped thinking about the eldest wife's affairs and said to Cheng's mother, "It's late at night, don't let anyone go out."

If it were any other master, he would definitely send someone out to get the news. Although the lady is young, she is more calm and steady.

Mother Cheng murmured a promise and stepped back.

When the two returned to the inner room, Gu Jinchu asked the question in his heart: "But will it alarm mother, or will it notify the other rooms?"

Master Jiang Wu took her hand, asked her to sit in front of the dressing mirror, picked up the comb on the dressing table, stood behind her and gently helped her comb her hair.

"It all depends on who set up this scheme." Master Jiang Wu chuckled and continued, "Anyone who does this will alarm my father and mother. Otherwise, how can they achieve their desired goal?"

I just don't know, the final outcome is what they want.

Gu Jinchu wanted to say something, but was picked up by Master Jiang Wu and said, "The water will be cold soon."

This was a reminder of what she had promised him before dinner.

Gu Jinchu looked at his sharp profile and said in a thin voice, "I won't regret asking you to help apply the ointment... For now, we still can't have sex..."

I don't know if he was reminding Master Jiang Wu or talking to himself.

She was taken very good care of by Mr. Jiang Wu on a daily basis.

In the past few months, not only did he lose control, but she also thought about it.

The last few words disappeared on her lips, and she buried her head deeply in shame, curling up in his arms like a well-behaved cat.

In the bathroom, the servants prepared hot water.

Seeing the Fifth Master coming in with his wife in his arms, they lowered their heads, suppressed their smiles, and retreated with their eyes lowered.

At this moment, Gu Jinchu only felt two completely different heartbeats filling his ears.

One was her own, like the beating of a drum, violent and rapid. The other was Jiang Wuye's, steady and powerful.

I couldn't help but look up and met his gaze.

Under the candlelight, Jiang Wuye stared at her with his eyes downcast, his eyes dim. He lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows.

Then the movement paused slightly, making Gu Jinchu feel as if his eyelashes lightly touched the skin of his jaw.

Then a warm kiss fell on her cheek, finally stopping on her lips.

He used a little force in his arms to hold her and sat her upright on the high table beside him. As the kiss deepened, Gu Jinchu raised his hands and put them around his back.

Master Jiang Wu raised his head, his eyes were red, and his voice was low and hoarse, "...Not yet, Jin Chu, wait a little longer."

After asking for hot water in the bathroom again, Master Jiang Wu used a bath towel to dry the bodies of the two people.

After applying the ointment, a faint scent of rosemary permeates the air.

The two people who were already refreshed were sweating again. When they returned to the inner room, Gu Jinchu had already fallen asleep in Jiang Wuye's arms.

Her fair and delicate face was rosy, and the smile at the corner of her lips made her look like a well-fed little fox.

Seeing this, Master Jiang Wu kissed her on the corner of her mouth, hugged her and looked at Chengchen above her head, and soon he closed his eyes.

As time passed, the candles in the inner courtyard dimmed one by one and gradually blended into the quiet night.

The main room of Minghui Hall was lit with candles, shining a golden light on the profiles of everyone in the room, as if exaggerating the anger on their faces.

The Duke sat upright in the armchair at the head, his face so serious that people dared not look directly into his eyes.

The Duke's wife, who was sitting next to him, had a calm expression on her face. She held a Buddhist bead bracelet in her hand and silently recited.

When Jiang Nanhuai, Wang and Aunt Xia appeared outside the main hall, the Duke began to rebuke them: "Kneel down!"

Jiang Nanhuai's legs went weak and his right foot tripped on the threshold before he even stepped into the door, causing him to lose his balance.

He staggered forward a few steps and fell to his knees with a thud.

The sound was so loud that the listeners felt a dull pain in their knees.

Aunt Xia looked worried and ran over, holding her belly.

"Young Master..." She knelt beside Jiang Nanhuai, holding his arm and looking at him with tearful eyes.

Every movement and every angle was mastered very well, which made Jiang Nanhuai look full of pity.

He hurriedly greeted his father and mother, and whispered to comfort the concubine beside him, "It's okay, I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."

After Wang entered the room, she knelt on both knees and respectfully paid her respects to the Duke and the Duchess.

The Duke clenched his hands on the chair armrest, looking at his eldest son's appearance, he wanted to kick him.

However, he still took into consideration the fact that his wives and concubines were in the house and gave him some face.

"You two are already old enough to be grandparents." Old Madam Jiang sighed softly:

"You know, once this matter gets out, let's not talk about whether it will have an impact on Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Just talking about Chengming, how should he deal with it?"

"He went to Mingzhou to serve as the prefect for three years and made a lot of efforts during that time. How can he bear those consequences for no reason just because of his parents!"

The Duke was a man of bad temper. After his wife finished speaking, he stood up and kicked his eldest son.

"You beast! How could the Jiang family raise a piece of trash like you!"

Jiang Nanhuai was kicked three or four meters away. He covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Father!"

He looked horrified and incredulous. He didn't expect his father would beat him in front of so many women.

"what!"

Aunt Xia screamed, covered her mouth and stood there in a daze, but she didn't dare to go forward to help.

I didn't even dare to make a loud noise.

"Duke." Madam Jiang put away the Buddhist beads in her hand, "What are you doing? If beating and scolding can solve the problem, why did you ask them to come here so late?"

The Duke panted and pointed at his eldest son and said, "A loving mother often spoils her son. Your mother spoiled you too much!"

The mother he was referring to was his deceased wife, the biological mother of his eldest son.

Jiang Nanhuai's face was a little pale. He knelt there and whispered, "Father has more than one son. It's enough to have other brothers who can bring honor to the family... Besides, they were not there when we suffered."

Seeing his father's expression, he knew he had said the wrong thing and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

As a grandfather, his behavior seems ridiculous.

"Boss." Madam Jiang raised her voice. Jiang Nanhuai looked towards her.

"Mother, my father has always listened to you. Please try to persuade him... This is not without some harm. As you just said, we should also consider Chengming."

Madam Jiang looked at Wang and asked, "Old Wife, Chengming is your eldest son, don't you consider him?"

She was somewhat disappointed, and even more disappointment came from the people around her. She had been married to the Jiang family for more than 30 years, but in the end, she was still guarded.

Wang was kneeling on the ground, her clothes were wrinkle-free, her face was dignified and serious, with a faint smile on her face:

"Chengming is the eldest son and grandson of the Jiang family. He is the most outstanding one in his generation."

She changed the subject, as if puzzled: "The Crown Prince's concubine was blinded by greed and tried to harm the Duke, so she killed Concubine Xia and sold her off."

"What does what she did as a concubine have to do with Cheng Ming?"
