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

The last time Zheng Mudan saw the twins was on the day of their third birthday ceremony.

In just over three months, the two children had completely changed. Seeing how pleasing they were, I stood there envious.

He reached out and held Tuanzi's little chubby hand, and then held his arm, which was as white and tender as a lotus root node, in his palm, and was reluctant to let go.

When he sees the well-behaved Nuonuo, his eyes will be fixed on his granddaughter.

He looked up and smiled at his daughter, "Chu Jie'er, Nuonuo looks exactly like you when you were a child!"

Upon hearing that Gu Jinchu and the others were coming, Old Madam Zheng came over and hugged Nuonuo and refused to let go.

"This little girl is really the same as Chu Jie'er when she was a child, delicate and lovable!" As he said this, he bent down and kissed Nuonuo.

Zheng Mudan saw her daughter reach out to hug Tuanzi and stood beside them anxiously.

She couldn't hold either of Chu Jie'er's two children.

Gu Jinchu turned around and looked at Master Jiang Wu, smiling brightly, "Master Wu and Father should go to work, my grandmother and I are at home."

Uncle Wu Jiang nodded and watched the four generations of the family walk towards the inner courtyard.

Qin Lang smacked his lips. After seeing the twins, a boy and a girl, born to Jin Chu, he was looking forward to having two children with Mudan.

After Jin Chu's back was out of sight, Fifth Master Jiang turned around and said, "Master Qin, please come in."

"Are you inviting me, your father, to ride in the carriage with you, my son-in-law?" Qin Lang raised his eyebrows, slightly raised his chin and looked at Master Jiang Wu and asked.

Master Jiang Wu smiled, raised his hand to signal, and said slowly, "Father, please."

These words were obviously very useful to Qin Lang. He stepped onto the carriage with his long legs, and then lifted the curtains of the carriage when he thought of something, and gave instructions to those below:

"From now on, the door will be closed to visitors. No one except the Zheng family can enter this door!"

The doorman was an honest middle-aged man who nodded respectfully.

Mantou rolled his eyes, walked to the front of the carriage with green curtains and asked in a low voice, "Master, what if the Xie family comes?"

Qin Lang grabbed a handful of dried peanuts and threw them at the steamed buns below, "I'm talking about the Xie family!"

Apart from Xie Shanglin, few people in Shengjing City dared to come to the Qin family uninvited.

Mantou caught all the dried peanuts and said with a smile, "I got it!"

Qin Lang waved his hand, "Okay, notify me immediately if anything happens." Then he said, "If Madam starts a fight, send someone to find me, and you stay in the yard and guard Madam!"

Mantou chewed peanuts and nodded hurriedly, "Master, you always remind me of this every day when you go out, and I can recite it by heart."

When Master Jiang Wu saw Qin Lang lower the curtain, he gave an order to the coachman outside.

Amid the clattering of horse hooves, Qin Lang lowered his voice and said:

"Last time, the princess asked me to keep an eye on the Cining Palace... and take advantage of Wang Quan's drunkenness to get some information about Emperor Taizu from him. It has a lot to do with your Jiang family."

Related to the Jiang family...

Master Jiang Wu put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "Father, why don't you tell me about it?"

In addition to the father-in-law and son-in-law, there was also He You beside Master Jiang Wu in the carriage. Since he was not shy about it, Qin Lang continued:

"I heard that Jiang Nanhuai was kidnapped by rebels when he was young, and the Duke found him after returning from a victory. He rescued him overnight despite his tired body, and was injured... Is this true?"

Master Jiang Wu nodded, "It is true, but not many people know the details at the moment."

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned closer to Jiang Nansheng, and lowered his body. "Then do you know who is behind this?"

Master Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. "Father just mentioned the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace. Is he related to the palace?"

Qin Lang did not notice that his eyes had become darker, nor did he continue to keep the secret, and said bluntly:

"That incident was actually arranged by Emperor Taizu behind the scenes. He wanted to use the eldest son of the Duke as a hook to solve the problem of the Duke being more powerful than his master!"

After hearing this, Master Jiang Wu did not show much emotion on his face.

For a moment, the carriage was too quiet.

What Emperor Taizu did not expect was that the person who was kidnapped was not Jiang Nanhuai, but the child of the Duke's subordinates.

The Duke did not do as Emperor Taizu had planned. Although he succeeded in breaking the situation, he suffered too many injuries to his body.

It was precisely because of that incident that the Duke felt even more sorry for his eldest son, which is why he indulged Jiang Nanhuai and the first wife blindly in the future.

"So, Yongle met Prince of Yan that day, and he avoided Wang Quan because he heard this secret?" Master Jiang Wu asked Qin Lang.

Qin Lang ate a plate of dried peanuts, and his mouth felt dry. He drank a few sips of tea before speaking:

"After listening to what Wang Quan said after drinking, they couldn't be sure whether what they talked about that day was really heard by others."

When I was talking about this kind of thing, I was actually overheard by others...

I don't know whether the Empress Dowager was too careless or she wanted to reveal it intentionally.

The Prince of Yan, who overheard this matter and used the eldest princess to escape successfully, is a man with deep thoughts.

Master Jiang Wu was wondering what the Empress Dowager wanted to do with this in her hand.

What Emperor Taizu failed to accomplish was handed over by the Duke during the reign of Emperor Jianyuan.

From then on, there was no longer any member of the Jiang family who could command the support of everyone and whose achievements surpassed their master.

He already knew the truth of the matter.

Master Jiang Wu asked, "Hasn't this matter been told to Yongle yet?"

Qin Lang shook his head. "This is related to the Duke Dingguo Mansion... Knowing that you will send Jin Chu here today, I naturally have to inform you first."

Master Jiang Wu nodded slightly, raised his hand and filled the cup in front of him with tea: "Jin Chu is worried about my mother-in-law. I'm afraid that before my mother-in-law gives birth, our family of four will have to disturb the Qin family."

Qin Lang raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I couldn't ask for more."

......

Gu Jinchu sat on the edge of the kang, preparing things that would be needed for delivery for his mother.

Madam Zheng sat cross-legged on the big kang, holding Nuonuo and Tuanzi in her arms. Zheng Mudan was teasing them with a puppet, and the two little guys were laughing.

They, a group of five people from four generations, perfectly interpret the continuation of life.

Zheng Mudan felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed her position with her hands on the kang. Seeing this, Gu Jinchu put a soft pillow behind her waist, helped her lean back on it, and said with a smile:

"I will be staying with the children for some time, and the mother will have plenty of opportunities to spend time with them."

"You only knew how to write to your mother, but you didn't tell me, an old lady." Old Madam Zheng tilted her head and looked at Nuonuo, kissing her delicate and tender cheek:

"Your mother was raised by your great-grandmother. When your great-grandmother has time, she will get closer to you."

Nuonuo was playing with the jade ring on Madam Zheng's finger. After hearing her words, she said something incomprehensible.

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "Fifth Master came out early, and wanted to send you news after he settled down."

Giving birth is a dangerous thing. Gu Jinchu didn't want her grandmother to worry because she was old. He planned to send her a message after his mother gave birth to the baby.

But she forgot that her grandmother currently lives in Gu'an, and she is also worried about her daughter.
