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

The 100-day banquet for the two children was organized by Gu Jinchu and Liu, and each family gathered together for a family reunion dinner.

As for the fact that Wang was divorced, no one mentioned it tacitly.

The Crown Prince Jiang Chengming did not steal the limelight from his cousins, and for a while, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion remained calm on the surface.

In the afternoon, Li came to Yuanyuan Hall to talk to Gu Jinchu.

"Fifth brother's wife, did you know about what happened in the first house early in the morning?" Li raised her little finger and peeled sunflower seeds with her thumb and index finger.

There is a reason why my fifth brother’s wife’s shop is doing so well. She can make several flavors out of just one sunflower seed.

Gu Jinchu put Nuonuo on the small bed, tied the belt of her coat on her side, looked up at Li and said with a smile:

"Big brother and sister-in-law quarreled so fiercely because of Aunt Xia... Lanyuan and Songtaoyuan are the closest, so didn't Third Sister-in-law send anyone to watch the fun?"

Li smiled mysteriously, she certainly would not miss this excitement.

After being married into the Jiang family for so many years, she had been deceived by Wang and served as her vanguard for so long that she had offended all of her sisters-in-law.

If Wang Shi hadn't been stingy and didn't take the third room seriously, and never let her take advantage of anything, she would have ended up like Wang Shi.

"Fifth brother's wife, now that Nuonuo and Tuanzi have passed their 100th day, don't you plan to expand Yuanyuan Hall?"

Master Wu Jiang had no concubines. When he got married, Yuanyuan Hall was much smaller than the other rooms.

Now that Gu Jinchu has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, there won’t be enough space for them when the children grow up a little.

"There are too many things to do on weekdays, and I don't have the energy to think so long-term." Gu Jinchu replied with a faint smile.

After tidying up her daughter's coat, Gu Jinchu held her in her arms. Nuonuo lay on her mother's shoulder, looking out the window with her big eyes.

When Tuanzi on the kang saw that his sister was gone, he stretched out his chubby legs and lay there, looking a little unhappy.

The little guy didn't cry, but just shouted at the top of his lungs. He raised one of his white and tender arms and stretched it towards his mother.

Seeing this, Li picked him up and sat on the edge of the kang with Gu Jinchu. Only then did Tuanzi stop talking with satisfaction.

When Li came to Yuanyuan Hall today, in addition to finding out the attitude of her fifth brother's wife, she also wanted to talk to someone and let her feelings flow.

"If my eldest brother inherits the title, Wang Yuran will definitely want to divide the family...Meng's personality doesn't seem like she would kick out a few uncles and aunts."

Li turned sideways and continued with a mysterious look on her face, "To be honest, Fifth Brother's wife, I wanted to go to mother and beg her a few days ago."

Gu Jinchu turned his head to look at her and asked in confusion, "What are you asking for?"

Li changed her hand and held the bun, whispering: "The second young lady will get married in the future, and her room must be kept in the family..."

"So I thought about taking over the vacant land on the side of Lanyuan. When Chengbin gets married in the future, they can have their own yard."

Even though the third sister-in-law was dissatisfied with the concubine, she still thought that after the concubine got married, she would still be her support in the family.

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "It's rare for Third Sister-in-law to think so far ahead. If mother knew your plan, she would definitely support you."

Mrs. Li nodded. "Mother is the most generous person. I am just preparing for a rainy day and making plans for the child in advance."

Her husband is not as promising as Mr. Jiang Wu, and her parents' home is not in Shengjing City, so many things are beyond her reach.

If the family really splits up one day, the three branches of their family would not have the capital to leave the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and find another place to live.

At that time, she shamelessly used the money she had received to demand that each room be separated by a high wall, creating its own independent space.

After all, being close to the prince would give Chengbin an extra layer of support in the future.

"The prince is different from his parents. I don't think he would split the family." Gu Jinchu said calmly.

Jiang Chengming was a junior to the other four families. Although the Duke had made his eldest grandson the successor, it seemed to have tied the other families even more tightly.

After all, if Jiang Chengming kicked his uncles out, it would affect his reputation outside.

Gu Jinchu said that Jiang Chengming was different from his parents, and that he would be far superior to Jiang Nanhuai in his future career.

If you want to go further, personal morality is also very important.

Moreover, among his uncles, except for his biological brother, Mr. Jiang San, the other three uncles would be his support in his future career, so he would not offend them easily.

This is also the reason why only Li was trying so hard to plan for the future of her eldest son.

After hearing what the fifth brother's wife said, Li's worries were mostly put at ease. To be honest, the private money she had in her hands would not make her short of money.

And those are what she and her eldest son will rely on when they grow up. At present, as long as she can rely on the Duke's Mansion and cling to the big tree of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, she will naturally hold on tightly.

Li lowered her head and kissed Tuanzi on the cheek, then said with a smile, "Our Tenth Young Master will be a truly blessed man in the future!"

Tuanzi likes being kissed. He giggles with his eyebrows curved, and the bell on his wrist makes a series of sounds when he shakes it.

Li was petite and usually looked frail. She could hardly sit still after Tuanzi made such a fuss.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jinchu quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child over.

After the child was taken away, Li suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "I haven't taken care of the child for too long. No wonder you lost so much weight after the confinement period."

She pinched the sore soft flesh on her arm, stood up and said goodbye, "Chengbin's class is about to end, so I won't bother my fifth brother and sister-in-law anymore."

After seeing Li off, Gu Jinchu asked someone to check carefully again to make sure all the things needed to go to Qin's house tomorrow were packed.

She had to travel with her two children, so there were naturally more trivial things than before.

......

There was a flood in the Yellow River Basin, and documents on the disaster have been sent to Shengjing City every day since ten days ago.

Floods occur there every summer, and the surrounding villagers suffer terribly.

The renovation of the previous emperor's mausoleum, the selection of concubines for the renovation of the harem after the wedding of Emperor Jianming, the construction of the official road in Tumu Fort, and the recent emergency at the border of Ningyuan City, which required a large amount of food and supplies, have already stretched the national treasury to the limit.

The victims had not yet been properly appeased, but this incident became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Minister of Works, Wang Fengliang.

During the morning court session, Zhang Qi, the chief minister of the cabinet, reported to the emperor that the Minister of Works was corrupt.

The evidence in his hand made Wang Fengliang collapse in the hall.

The Wang family, who had served as the Minister of Works for fifteen years, was searched and nearly three hundred thousand taels of silver and several hundred thousand taels of silver notes were found, which did not include the value of the land and shops.

For a time, it was able to resolve the dilemma faced by the court.

Even Emperor Jianming, who was always kind-hearted, did not frown when he killed Wang Fengliang and his gang.

After Master Jiang Wu and the Ministry of Justice had resolved the Wang family's issue, it was already dark.

When he returned to Yuanyuan Hall, Gu Jinchu was leaning on a large pillow, looking down at the two children, fanning himself with a round fan in his hand.

Seeing Master Jiang Wu walk in, a faint smile appeared on his face.
