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

Zheng Mudan sat a little to the side, stared at him face to face and asked, "Do you know something? What happened to my Chu Jie'er?"

After saying that, he got off the bed and went to find clothes to wear.

Qin Lang followed her and helped her put on her clothes clumsily, explaining:

"The eldest son of the Jiang family has a mistress outside, a skinny girl from Yangzhou. He plans to take advantage of the Jiang family's wedding to bring the child to the family to recognize his ancestry."

Zheng Mudan is not interested in other people's affairs. She only wants to know the things that concern her most.

"What is the relationship between the prince's concubine and Chu Jie'er? Did she ruin my Chu Jie's wedding?"

"No." Qin Lang was a little afraid to look at her, "She was caught by the Jinyiwei last night... and sent to the Jiang family early in the morning."

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were ordered to keep an eye on the Jiang family, and they had discovered this mistress early on.

Fearing that it would affect Chu Jie'er and Jiang Nansheng's wedding, he ordered people to control the skinny horse and the child. He only forgot that the bride had to serve tea and greetings the next day, but fortunately it did not delay Chu Jie'er's important event.

Qin Lang told Zheng Mudan the whole story. What she didn't know was that once her sister Chu married into the Jiang family, all kinds of evildoers would start to show up.

Only after she heard that it did not affect her daughter's marriage did she feel completely relieved.

Qin Lang put his arm around her shoulders and walked out, saying briskly, "Let's go. If you don't show up, the old lady will really get suspicious."

Zheng Mudan stood in front of the door, looked up and said to him: "Don't let mother know about our affairs for the time being, otherwise she will be worried."

Given the mother's personality, she would definitely teach Qin Lang a lesson first and then arrange their marriage.

There are two results: one is what she doesn't want to see, and the other is what she can't do for the time being, so she simply hides it for the time being.

It’s not too late to wait until she successfully gets pregnant.

There was no reason for Qin Lang not to respond, so he whispered in her ear: "I will try my best to make you pregnant as quickly as possible, and I won't give you any chance to regret it, hum!"

After saying that, he held her in his arms and kissed her hard, then he jumped lightly over the wall and disappeared without a trace.

……

Jiang Nansheng said he would come to accompany her, and when she recognized her relatives, he really walked in from outside the door.

Most of the people at the banquet were members of the Jiang family branch.

Before joining the army, the Duke had a humble family background. With his own efforts and courage, he accompanied the late emperor in battles and exchanged his blood for his current wealth and reputation.

Although he has a rough character, he also understands that if a family wants to prosper in the long run, it must flourish and develop in coordination.

Over the past few decades, with the support of the Duke's Mansion, the Jiang family has gradually grown stronger.

Among the many young men, Jiang Nansheng is almost the youngest of the same generation.

Gu Jinchu, the new bride with the status of a county lady, was accompanied by the "wife-protecting" Jiang Wuye, and no one dared to disrespect her. Because they were much older than her, naturally no one teased her.

She received many gifts from the elders of the clan, so many that Baizhi and Baishao couldn't hold them all. It was Mother Hu who was by the lady's side who arranged for people to help.

After meeting the clan members, the children from each branch of the family came over to pay their respects to Gu Jinchu.

Just now she was so busy receiving gifts that she was overwhelmed with joy, but now she has become the fifth aunt who is giving away money.

What was different from her previous life was that Wang did not take her to meet each branch of the family. Instead, she arranged for the children from each branch to come and recognize her as her relatives.

When Gu Jinchu saw that the Crown Prince's wife's decision did not seem to be a sudden whim, he glanced at Jiang Nansheng who was not far behind him.

Jiang Nansheng came over, took her hand and walked to the armchair and sat down, saying lightly: "I just drank some wine with Lord Zhou and Lord Qin in the front hall, and I smelled of alcohol."

Gu Jinchu didn't smell any alcohol on him, and he looked calm. It didn't seem as serious as he said. He was just supporting her.

Seeing that both masters had sat down, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao waited on the side with return gifts.

This time, the preparations are more generous than in the previous life, so as to be worthy of her status as the fifth wife of the county lord.

Wang wanted to say something, but when she saw Jiang Nansheng sitting there drinking tea with his eyes downcast, she turned her head and greeted the children with a smile:

"Come and meet your fifth aunt. She just got a lot of good things from the elders. You better be sweet to her."

Gu Jinchu smiled at her faintly and gently wiped the sweat on both sides of his nose with a handkerchief.

The first wife had four children, the eldest son Jiang Chengen and the fourth son Jiang Chengbo, both of whom were born to the Crown Prince's wife.

Jiang Chengen is still in office and will return to Beijing to report on his work next year. He is married and has a son named Jiang Yunchen.

The third young master Jiang Chengyan and the third young lady Jiang Huiying were born out of wedlock.

The four children of the second wife are all legitimate. The second young master Jiang Chengzhi and the third young master Jiang Chengxuan both have the title of juren, and they study in the Imperial College with the fourth young master Jiang Chengbo.

The eldest daughter, Jiang Miaohan, is thirteen years old this year and has reached the age to get married. Her appearance combines the best features of her parents and she is graceful and elegant.

The eight-year-old fourth daughter, Jiang Miaozhu, bowed in a proper manner, with bright eyes and no fear. It can be seen that the four children of the second wife were well educated.

The second daughter of the third house, Jiang Yiyu, was born out of wedlock, and the nine-year-old sixth master, who was born out of wedlock, was still a little boy.

The seventh young master Jiang Chengpeng and the eighth young master Jiang Chengrui of the fourth room are both born out of wedlock and are younger.

The fifth daughter, Jiang Jingxian, was only six years old. She was well-educated and well-mannered despite her young age, but she was a little timid.

Gu Jinchu gave several young masters who were studying in the Imperial College a piece of cloth and two gold ornaments for being the top scorers in the imperial examination.

The other younger masters were given the four treasures of the study, including Jiang Yunchen, who was only two years old.

It was prepared for the five young ladies, and it was obvious that Gu Jinchu had put a lot of thought into it.

They are all gold head ornaments that they like and are suitable for their age.

The younger generations were allowed to grab a handful of golden beans and go down to play with them.

Seeing this, two-year-old brother Chen slid down from his nurse’s arms and walked over to hold out his hand, “Fifth Grandma, give it to me!”

I don’t know what she just ate, but two greasy little handprints were left on Gu Jinchu’s dress.
