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

Gu Jinchu encountered a villain on the way back to Gu'an. Except for the guards around her, no one in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion knew about it.

When Master Jiang Wu took his men out, he only told Bai Zhi about it in a vague way.

The carriage with green curtains stopped outside the gate of Yuanyuan Hall. The only person guarding the gate was Bai Zhi, who was already sitting in the steward's seat.

She was holding the cloak that her lady often wore in her arms, and the moment Gu Jinchu stepped out of the carriage, she was covered with it.

Although he looked calm, his voice was trembling, "Ma'am, are you okay?"

Gu Jinchu shook his head, raised his hand to gather his clothes, and walked steadily towards the depths of the courtyard.

Bai Shao's eyes were surprisingly bright, and it was obvious that she had recovered from the incident that had just happened.

Together with Bai Zhi, he supported the lady and whispered, "Bai Zhi, you didn't follow us today. The lady is just like a heroic female knight in a storybook. Those bad guys are completely vulnerable in front of us."

Bai Zhi was relieved only when she heard Bai Shao say this.

"Madam, it was Master Wu who ordered me to wait for you here. I was frightened during this period of time."

The servants in the courtyard did not notice anything unusual and thought it was the lady coming back from outside with someone.

They all stopped and bowed, then went back to their work.

Gu Jinchu walked to the main room, stopped and listened. The room was quiet, and it was obvious that the two children were sleeping.

Dai heard the voice and came out, still holding the unfinished embroidery in her hands. After greeting Gu Jinchu, she whispered:

"Madam, you are back. The young masters are sleeping soundly... We haven't seen each other for a long time. Miss Six was a little shy at first, so she let Master Five carry her around for two laps. The two young masters were having fun as usual."

Gu Jinchu could imagine that scene.

Tuanzi liked his father holding him up high the most. Before going to the Qin family in Daxing, Fifth Master would hold the two children and play with them for a while after coming back from work.

Seeing that the lady had no intention of saying more, Dai went back into the house.

Gu Jinchu turned around and told Bai Shao to rest more, and there was no need for her to come on duty today.

Bai Zhi helped her mistress change into clean clothes in the inner room, and also learned from her what had happened not long ago.

She stood behind Gu Jinchu, combing her hair with a comb, and said softly with red eyes: "It was a close call... Fortunately, the Fifth Master came back in time."

Gu Jinchu looked at herself in the makeup mirror.

Yes, if the Fifth Master had not come back and the South City Military Department had not rushed over, she would have had to go to the government office.

By then, her reputation will be over.

If someone were to exaggerate and fabricate this story in secret, the Dingguo Mansion and the Jiang family would become a laughing stock in Shengjing City.

Then all the charity sales she had held in the past few days and the good reputation she had accumulated would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinchu frowned slightly, and for a moment he couldn't figure out who was behind this.

Soon, Mother Cheng came over with some food.

"Madam, the cold noodles and stewed vegetables you requested...according to your instructions, I have asked the kitchen to deliver the meals to Zhuli Pavilion. The portions of both meat and vegetables will be increased."

Gu Jinchu nodded, walked to the kang table and sat down.

There were injured guards among them, so Jiang Fei must have arranged for a doctor to treat them.

Besides, there should be someone in Zhuli Pavilion who knows medical skills.

I couldn't help thinking that Fifth Master came back in such a hurry this time that he didn't have time to pay his respects to Old Madam Jiang.

I planned to take the two children to Minghui Hall after they woke up.

Gu Jinchu had only finished half of his bowl of noodles when he heard voices faintly outside the house. It was Nuonuo and Tuanzi who had woken up.

Soon, the two children were brought to the west room by their wet nurses.

Gu Jinchu raised his head and called softly to the two children: "Nuonuo, Tuanzi..."

Tuanzi, wearing a short jacket and open-crotch pants, was twisting his body in his wet nurse's arms.

He was like a meat ball, but he was becoming more and more unruly. Whoever held him had to be on his guard.

Nuonuo was very well-behaved. When she heard her mother's voice, she turned her head in her nurse's arms.

The little hand reached out like a hungry swallow, and the beautiful big eyes were filled with tears in an instant.

Gu Jinchu hurriedly stood up from the kang and reached out to hold Nuonuo over. She let the child lie on her body, patted Nuonuo's back, and coaxed her softly.

Even when Nuonuo cried, her voice was still tender and her sobs were very adorable.

Gu Jinchu sat cross-legged on the kang, holding the child horizontally in her arms. Nuonuo grabbed the collar of her clothes on her chest, looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and cried.

Tuanzi, who was held in the wet nurse's arms, opened his mouth and started crying when he saw that his mother ignored him.

The sound was so loud that it scared Nuonuo, who was in Gu Jinchu's arms.

The little girl forgot to cry and tilted her head to look at her brother.

Tuanzi stretched out his chubby little arms and legs on one side of his body toward his mother, babbling non-stop.

Nuonuo didn't say a word, but just stared at her brother's fuss, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes.

Gu Jinchu raised his hand and said, "Bring Tuanzi here!"

She held one on her left and one on her right. She held both children in her arms, completely unable to experience the ease that Fifth Master felt when he held them.

Bai Zhi whispered, "Madam, you haven't finished your meal yet."

Fortunately, she was eating cold noodles and braised food, so she didn't have to worry about the food being cold and difficult to swallow.

After playing with the two little ones for a while and seeing that they stopped crying and started playing with each other, Gu Jinchu asked the wet nurse to take the children away.

Let them sit at the kang table, opposite her.

Tuanzi twisted and turned in the nurse's arms, tilting his head to watch his mother eat. The saliva from his mouth fell onto the kang table with a plop.

Obviously he was very interested in the food in his mother's mouth, and the little fat boy stretched out his hand.

Gu Jinchu put down the chopsticks in his hand, asked the servant to take the plate away, reached out and gently pressed Tuanzi's chin, and looked into Nuonuo's mouth again.

Nuonuo thought her mother was playing with her, so she held her mother's finger and put it in her mouth.

He looked at his mother with his big smiling eyes, and his delicate little chin shook as he bit his mother's fingers hard, making a giggling sound.

When Gu Jinchu took his hand back, his fair fingertips were all red from being bitten by his daughter.

When she brought her two children to Minghui Hall to pay her respects and mentioned this, Mrs. Jiang changed Tuanzi's diaper.

The clothes of both the grandparents and grandchildren were wrinkled. Tuanzi was really too dishonest.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Nuonuo and Tuanzi are more than five months old. They are about to grow teeth."
