Madam Jiang gently placed the chopsticks in her hand on the chopstick holder, and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. She noticed that the Duke looked at her from time to time, and said in a calm voice:

"I woke up from my nap feeling extremely hungry, so I had dinner early."

The Duke frowned, feeling as if he saw the thoughtful girl from the Chang family when they first got married.

He put down the teacup in his hand and said in a calm and rough voice, "Don't you dislike eating this kind of roasted food?" After saying this, his brows frowned even tighter.

"Wang Yuran has been divorced. Who will be the steward of this mansion in the future? You, the wife of the Duke, need to come up with a plan."

For some reason, when the words of concern came to his lips, he talked about the housekeeper again.

Madam Jiang did not care about his attitude. Her well-maintained face still showed the elegance and beauty she had in her youth.

"The household affairs of the mansion have always been managed by the wife of the Crown Prince...Recently, my granddaughter-in-law has been learning how to manage the household from her mother-in-law. If there is anything she does not understand, the second daughter-in-law can help her."

The Duke was as angry as if he had punched cotton. "As the mistress of the house, shouldn't you have made all the arrangements carefully?"

He had a serious face and a somewhat stern attitude.

Madam Jiang smiled gently, "Ever since I married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the eldest young master got married, hasn't the wife of the Crown Prince been in charge of the household affairs?"

"I'm at an age where I'm enjoying my grandchildren, so how can I have that much energy?" She stood up from behind the table and nodded to the Duke, "The flowers in the courtyard are blooming beautifully, please help yourself, my husband."

The Duke has come this far, so he is certainly not a stupid person.

He looked at his wife's back and finally understood the strangeness of today.

It's his wife's attitude towards him.

She is dignified and serious, and no one can find any fault with her.

Even in the middle of summer, one can still feel that the whole house is cold.

Mother Hu supported Old Madam Jiang, and the master and servant came out of Minghui Hall, walked along the corridor and strolled to Miaoyin Hall in the center of the lake.

Looking around, the scenery you see is very similar to the garden design of Chang's family in Nanzhili.

Mother Hu stood beside her master and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what happened to you today?"

Old Madam Jiang stood there, closing her eyes slightly.

Feel the cool breeze blowing from the lake.

However, it makes the taste of the grilled lamb chops that I just ate in my mouth become richer.

And she has never liked this fishy smell.

She said calmly, "I just feel a little tired and don't want to do everything anymore."

Wang Yuran was so sure that what she did would not harm the Jiang family's foundation. Even if others knew about it, no one would be able to do anything to her for Jiang Chengming's sake.

She said Wang Yuran was a little anxious because she didn't understand the Duke yet.

When he saw through the outcome, he could give up even his eldest son, for whom he once felt guilty.

Mother Hu supported the Madam and asked her to sit on a stool in the Miaoyin Hall. She said softly:

"I almost forgot what it was like when I first came to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now looking at it, it seems as if I have never left my hometown."

Madam Jiang smiled and shook her head, "How can they be the same? You are just saying nice things."

Her hometown was far away in Nanzhili. Ever since her parents passed away, there was no place she could call home.

Mother Hu thought that the lady had recovered, but she seemed to be in worse condition than before.

Smiling, he consoled her, "The Duke certainly values ​​you, otherwise why would he have spent so much time and money to build such a garden for you?"

Madam Jiang lowered her eyes and smiled, but said nothing more.

Mother Hu felt relieved a little, thinking, the Madam has forgiven the Duke...

......

During the height of summer, the dawn breaks through the night very early. When Master Jiang Wu went out for morning exercise, it was still dark in the east, and when he came back, the sun was already rising.

Before he stepped onto the stone steps in front of the main hall, he saw Jin Chu and the children playing on the kang behind the window of the west side room, and heard bursts of exclamations.

With a thin layer of sweat on his body, he walked towards the bathroom, and only returned to the west room after cleaning up.

"Tuanzi, come and see what your sister is doing!"

Before Master Jiang Wu entered the door, he heard Jin Chu's encouraging voice, which made him quicken his steady pace.

"Wow! The Tenth Young Master is awesome!"

Amid the little girl's exclamation, Master Jiang Wu saw his eldest son, a chubby ball, turning over on the kang.

His small arms, as white and tender as lotus root nodes, supported his plump body. His big eyes were wide open in surprise, his mouth was open, and he was looking at the scene that was different from the past with a smile.

Gu Jinchu turned around and saw Master Jiang Wu coming back. His eyes sparkled, "Master Wu, Nuonuo and Tuanzi are both able to turn over!"

As early as two days ago, Nuonuo had already learned to turn over.

On the contrary, Tuanzi, who was fatter and more lively than her, just couldn't turn over no matter what.

No matter how hard he tried with his chubby legs, his chubby little butt just couldn't get through. He struggled hard, his face flushed red, but he didn't get annoyed.

If she couldn't come over, she would accept it happily. If she didn't have the strength, she would just lie there. The bell on her wrist was shaken by him, and it sounded very crisp. In the sound of the bell, Nuonuo turned over very freely.

Just now, the fat boy who was lying next to his sister turned his head to look at his sister who was lying on the kang, and with an effort, he turned over.

This is the scene you just saw.

Uncle Jiang Wu reached out and picked up Tuanzi.

Now he is no longer satisfied with being held horizontally in someone's arms. He sticks out his little butt, lies on his father's shoulder, and looks around with his big eyes.

Besides his mother, he liked his father holding him like this the most.

Gu Jinchu looked at Master Jiang Wu holding a child in each hand and coaxing them softly.

The children were only three months old, so they naturally did not understand their father's words of encouragement and pride. It was his low and soothing tone that made the two children very happy.

She stood beside him, touching the children's hands, and whispered to him:

"After Nuonuo and Tuanzi's hundred-day banquet, I plan to take them to the Qin family. Mother is about to give birth, and I want to be with her at that time."

Master Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Daxing and Gu'an are not far away, and they are also the only way to go to work. I will take you and your son there when the time comes."

Gu Jinchu tilted his head to look at him, smiling, "Mother said in the letter that she had cleaned up the yard early in the morning and was waiting for us to go together."

When the two little guys saw their father and mother talking, they looked at them with their big eyes.

Nuonuo stretched out her two little arms and pushed towards her mother in her father's arms.

Uncle Jiang Wu coughed lightly and said, "The two little guys can't leave their mother." He also can't leave the mother of his children.

He found a very convincing excuse for himself, "The children have grown up, and as a father I always have to share more responsibilities..."
