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

Master Jiang Wu held the Buddhist beads in his hand, rubbing and twisting them subconsciously. I guess Jin Chu should have finished his dinner by now.

What are she and her two children doing now?

What kept flashing through his mind was the scene he saw when he got home from work in the past.

Judging from the time, my mother-in-law has probably finished her confinement.

According to their previous agreement, Jin Chu had already returned to Yuanyuan Hall with Nuonuo and Tuanzi.

He didn't know whether she had seen all the messages he sent back by carrier pigeon, and how many of them she had successfully read.

Knowing that he would be returning to Beijing soon and would be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, she would definitely tell her mother as soon as possible to prevent her mother from worrying at home.

Thinking of this, her charming face when she smiled appeared in front of my eyes.

The gentle and elegant face of Master Jiang Wu gently raised the corners of his lips, and a soft light flashed quickly in his eyes.

Tianqing opened the door and walked in carrying a lunch box.

Seeing Fifth Master standing by the window with his hands behind his back, the night outside the window was as dark as ink, making the stars on the black curtain appear particularly bright and dazzling.

He put the food box on the square table and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

Seeing their master coming, He You and Tian Qing set the dinner together.

"It's a pity that the weather doesn't allow us to go out, otherwise I could have brought more food that Madam prepared for me." He You placed the chopsticks on the chopstick holder in front of his master, and said with a regretful tone.

The master never complained during the whole journey. These people have become a bit picky because of what the mistress has done to them.

In the past, when I was away from home, I never cared too much about food.

Tianqing first scooped a bowl of soup for Wu Ye, then scooped a bowl for Mr. He, and whispered:

"Today's dinner was prepared by the princess's entourage... I heard that the cooking skills are better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace. The prince consort found it specially for the princess."

The Fifth Master doesn't have so many rules in private, and there is no such thing as not talking while eating.

He You swallowed the food in his mouth and said softly, "The young masters from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are very satisfied with the service they receive downstairs."

Thinking of what he saw when he just came up, He You had a calm and sarcastic look on his face.

Those who know that this is a post station may think it is a place for fun and entertainment, while those who don’t may think it is a place for music and dance.

Before they even finished their meal, someone dragged the women back to their rooms.

No wonder Fifth Master, the Princess and the Prince Consort were very cautious after entering the room and did not come out again.

Uncle Jiang Wu took a piece of cold bean curd sheets with chopsticks. It had a strong bean aroma with a sour, spicy and fresh taste, and was very refreshing.

It would also be a good choice as a side dish.

He remembered that in Ningyuan City in Liaodong, Qianzhang was also a local specialty.

When the previous emperor was alive, the Chen family had ordered people to send this kind of thing to the palace.

Master Jiang Wu put down the cutlery in his hands and said slowly, "Add more people to watch over the people we brought back to Beijing." His eyes were slightly cold as he spoke:

"Don't worry about the people who are traveling with you this time. If anything goes wrong, the prince consort will report it to the emperor."

As he was speaking, a cry of surprise was heard in the corridor, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The noise was so loud that even the door and windows of their room shook.

He You saw Mr. Jiang Wu with his eyes lowered while drinking tea, so he stood up, opened the door and walked outside.

Soon the situation outside calmed down, and He You came back after a while, with a strange expression on his face.

Master Jiang Wu asked, "What happened outside?"

It couldn't be that there were any problems with the people they were going to bring back to Beijing this time. The first thing he thought of was the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works who came with them this time.

For those young men from aristocratic families who wanted to use this incident to gild their reputation, it did not affect the progress of their journey, nor did it delay their romantic life.

He You lowered his head, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh: "It was the eldest princess...someone took advantage of the fact that the prince consort was not in the room and offered himself to the eldest princess."

He cleared his throat and tried his best to look as calm as usual and not be affected by what he had just seen.

"The princess was so angry that she had him stripped naked and tied up in the courtyard of the post station..."

It was shiny and white and tied to a wooden stake more than one meter high.

Master Jiang Wu smiled. This was something Yongle could do, but it wouldn't end so easily.

He then asked, “And then?”

He You glanced at Jiang An who followed him in, and saw that his dark face was still filled with anger. He suppressed the smile in his voice:

"The princess ordered that not only were those people disguised as postmen tied up, but also the women that the adults brought into the room were driven out."

It was the eunuch from the princess's mansion who led people to do it.

Rush directly into the room and grab the person from the bed.

When they came out, not only were they naked, but they were also tied up and in the same position as when they were rushed into the room.

With so many people watching, I felt like I had lost all my dignity and face.

If this were to get back to Shengjing City, I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of the aristocratic families.

Master Jiang Wu nodded and told He You, "Go to the Shuyang government office and ask them to send someone to escort these people back to Beijing."

He You bowed his hands in response, and then heard his master continue, "This time, in the name of the eldest princess, let the prince consort come forward."

He You was stunned for a moment, and should step back and find the princess to convey his master's intention.

Master Jiang Wu looked at the dark night outside the window and didn't speak for a long time.

He stood up suddenly and strode towards the box. He simply packed two pieces of clothes and changed his straight-legged clothes into dark-colored tights that were convenient for movement.

Jiang Fei stood aside, somewhat confused, and asked, "Fifth Master, what are you doing?"

Master Jiang Wu tied the bag to his body and said, "I will return to Beijing first. You are responsible for escorting the princess. There is no room for mistakes on the way."

Jiang Fei was shocked and didn't understand why Fifth Master suddenly wanted to go back alone.

The troublemakers among the flood victims have been controlled by them, and nothing went wrong along the way.

He didn't dare to say anything and just followed his master closely.

Master Jiang Wu had arranged everything, the horses were fed with fodder, and no one in the post station was alarmed.

Seeing Jiang Fei behind him, he said, "You stay, so that no one will easily discover my departure. Find a chance to explain to Yongle, and the prince consort will arrange everything."

Jiang Fei clasped his fists in response, pulled the horse out by the reins, and took a step back.

Master Jiang Wu jumped on his horse and instantly disappeared into the night.

......

On the first night back at Yuanyuan Hall, Gu Jinchu did not sleep well.

Master Jiang Wu, galloping on his horse, appeared in her dream, but he seemed much older than she remembered.

The face hadn't changed much, it was just a little darker and the skin looked a little rougher.

His graying temples looked as if they had been weathered by the wind.

It seemed as if a victory had been won somewhere, and the people lining the streets to welcome them were all praising them.

Master Jiang Wu, however, washed away the dust on his body, stayed away from the hustle and bustle, and came to the Huguo Temple alone.

Gu Jinchu saw Master Jiang Wu lying under the plum tree. He watched his eyes gradually lose their light, and then slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Jinchu was suddenly awakened from his terrible and heart-wrenching dream by a burst of crying.
