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

"How to deal with..."

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but touch her right wrist. In fact, she was not as calm and composed as she appeared. The copper tube carried her body temperature, which highlighted the coldness of her fingertips.

Sending Bai Wei to the Dali Temple would bring trouble to the Gu family and perhaps also to the Zheng family.

It's easy to explain Bai Wei, the Japanese slave, but it's hard to explain that she can speak Japanese.

My grandmother once said that when you are unable to protect yourself and your family well, your excellence will become a death warrant.

She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, and she didn't want to be involved with the Baodi Zheng family.

Qin Lang is not in Shengjing now, so how to deal with this Japanese slave has become a hot potato in her hands.

"Miss, that Wang Qi..." Gao De said in a low voice beside Gu Jinchu.

He has been the one who has been following up with his men to monitor Bai Wei's brother. If Bai Wei is a Japanese slave, Wang Qi's identity cannot be guaranteed.

Even around them, there are countless such people hiding in Shengjing.

What Gao De said was exactly what Gu Jinchu was thinking at the moment. As expected, Bai Wei, who was lying limp on the ground, had her eyes flashed when she heard the word "Wang Qi".

A sunset glow was reflected in the western sky, and the beautiful orange-red color still carried the residual heat of the scorching sun.

Behind Gu Jinchu was Bai Zhi and several tall guards. The group of people shuttled through the corridors and met Li Xianglian who was walking from the side in the courtyard.

The lotus-colored summer silk shirt she wore during the day was changed into a more dignified bright red. Gu Jinchu saw the small and exquisite stew pot in her hand and greeted her with a smile:

"Aunt Lian, are you going to bring soup to father?"

Li Xianglian's expression froze for a moment. A maid beside her bowed to Gu Jinchu and said, "Miss San, you may have forgotten that our master has been promoted to a concubine!"

"How dare you, Qiuhe! Why don't you apologize to the Third Miss? You have no right to speak here!" Li Xianglian waited for the maid to finish speaking before she started scolding.

Qiu He lowered her head and said, "Miss Third, please don't bother with me. My lady is pregnant now and can't withstand Miss Third's anger." She spoke a lot of words eloquently.

Those who don’t know would think that Gu Jinchu is bullying others again.

Gu Jinchu stopped there and walked towards them.

"Miss Third, what are you going to do?" Li Xianglian's maid was frightened at this moment, and her voice began to tremble.

Gu Jinchu lifted the lid of the stew pot and took a look while Li Xianglian was extremely wary.

"Madam Ru? You finally become the master, why are you still doing the work of a servant?" Seeing that Li Xianglian could no longer maintain the expression on her face, she smiled even more brightly.

"Mother Xu, since Madam Ru said Qiu He was presumptuous, she must be wrong. Qiu He was a maid and her words were rude, which displeased Madam Ru who was pregnant. How should she be punished?"

Mother Xu came over from behind, bowed and said:

"Our Gu family is a family of scholars. The Madam and the Master have always convinced others with virtue and are the most disciplined people. The Madam once said that it would not be excessive to beat or kill servants who disrespect their masters."

Gu Jinchu nodded, "Mother Xu, follow Madam Ru to Zizhu Pavilion and tell father and grandmother everything that happened just now."

"Madam Ru is pregnant now, how can you allow such a thing to get ahead of you? Please let them punish this servant who doesn't know the rules."

Mother Xu answered yes. Two burly old women stood behind her. They watched Gu Jinchu and his group walk away and then lowered their eyes.

Li Xianglian's fingers were bluish as she held the tray, and the lid of the stew pot made a clicking sound.

He glanced at the maid beside him and let out a deep breath.

She promoted this Qiu He from a second-class maid. There were not many reliable people in Tingyuxuan. She used to be considered a smart girl, but today, after a few words from Gu Jinchu, she lost her composure.

The first time she appeared as Mrs. Ru, she was inferior.

Her good mood disappeared completely due to Gu Jinchu's insinuations. She forgot to care about what she was going to do by taking people out of the house as it was almost dark.

Jiang Fei finally understood what Gu Jinchu wanted to do, it was simply outrageous and bold.

They wouldn't dare to act rashly on such matters.

What's more, these people around Miss Gu... It's not that he looks down on these guards, it's that they behave recklessly.

He followed Gu Jinchu and his companions' carriage closely all the way, and made marks along the way that only the Jiang family could understand.

I hope Jiang An can tell Master Wu what happened just now, and Master can arrive in time, otherwise...

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

When we were almost at Brother Bai Wei's house, it was still getting light.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley. Gao De sat beside the driver and pointed to the front right and inside the carriage and said, "Miss, the house with the pine trees growing on the roof is Wang Qi's house."

This was the first time that Gu Jinchu came here. Bai Wei once said that this was their ancestral home and the Wang family had lived here since her great-grandfather was young.

Now there are only her and her brother in the Wang family, and even if the population is declining, it is not necessary to mess up the house like this.

Gao De observed Wang Qi here for a while and found that he would come back to rest from time to time, which showed that this place was not abandoned.

There is only one reason, it was intentional.

She didn't take it seriously when Gao De said that, but now, looking back, many things seem to have traces to follow.

"Miss, there is someone in the house." Gao De jumped down from the wall, observed the surrounding environment, and reported from outside the car.

Although there were no lanterns lit outside the gate, one could vaguely see light inside the yard.

"Do you know how many people are inside? Gao De, are you sure?" Gu Jinchu got out of the car and asked again.

These people were brought by her from Baodi. Except for Bai Zhi's mother, brother and younger brother, the rest of the guards' family members were still at her grandmother's house.

She was a little impulsive...

Before Gao De could respond, he drew the short blade from his waist and rushed out.

The other guards drew their weapons and surrounded Gu Jinchu and the green-curtained carriage behind her.

Gao De was wearing a night suit, almost blending into the hazy night.

After a faint sound of falling, there was the sound of fists hitting flesh. In the blink of an eye, Gao De seemed to lose his balance and fell not far from Gu Jinchu. He staggered a few steps before he stabilized his body.

He raised his hand to stop the person beside him, and after standing still, he bowed and said, "I don't know what your purpose is. Since you have no intention of hurting anyone, why are you so secretive and not showing up?"

A tall figure walked out of the dim night, and Gu Jinchu's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw his familiar figure.

She pushed aside the guards blocking her way, walked out, bowed and saluted, "Master Jiang, may I borrow one of your guards?"
