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

Gu Jinchu looked at him and listened to him continue.

The woman who was making a scene nearby started to curse: "Gu Jinchu, after all, I am the biological mother of the Duke Dingguo's son! How can I allow a white-bodied bastard to stop me!"

Gu Jinchu thought of what Wang had done in her previous life, raised his eyes and looked at her, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the prince's biological mother, I would have beaten you to death right now."

Her expression was calm, without any anger on her face, but it made people feel awe.

Gu Jinchu turned to look at Aunt Zhao who was hiding on the side, "And you, this ignorant concubine! Even if the Third House doesn't punish you, I won't let you off easily!"

Then she told the guards, "Shut up the two women and don't let them make any more noise. No matter what means you use, I have something to ask them later."

"Yes, Madam Five."

Aunt Zhao, who had already reduced her presence to the lowest level, didn't expect that Gu Jinchu could see her even in such a dim light. But it was too late, leaving her no chance to resist or call for help.

Several corpses in front of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion were dragged away. After the carriage carrying the women slowly entered the mansion, someone skillfully cleaned up the bloodstains.

Gu Jinchu looked at his brother and Gao De, sighed and asked them, "Are you injured?"

Gao De looked ashamed and said, "It's my fault for not protecting him well enough."

Gu Wen hurriedly shook his head, "It's all because of my incompetence. They were all injured because of me..."

Gu Jinchu patted his brother's shoulder and asked Jiang Fei to take them downstairs to treat the wounds.

After comforting Madam Jiang and waiting for her to fall asleep, Gu Jinchu returned to Yuanyuan Hall. Following behind him were the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Meng, from the first house, and Mr. Jiang Sanye and Mrs. Li from the third house.

In the main room, Gu Wen, the Gao brothers, and a middle-aged man with only one arm were drinking hot soup from bowls.

Wang and Aunt Zhao were gagged, tied up and thrown into a corner.

When they saw Gu Jinchu coming back with people, they whimpered, but no one paid any attention to them.

After seeing Mr. Jiang Sanye, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Meng sitting down in the chairs, Gu Jinchu held his hands and asked his brother to sit down as well. He said, "Tell me what happened."

Gao De did not sit down, "Master, let me speak."

They knew that the courtyard of the main house in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was called Songtao Garden, and when they heard someone mention it, they didn't take it seriously at first.

It was not until I heard them say they wanted to buy kerosene that I decided to follow them to find out what was going on.

This was not a big deal. It turned out that Wang had bribed some hooligans and was planning to come to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion while the masters of the various branches of the Jiang family were entering the palace.

Those men were after money, but Wang was planning to burn down the Duke Dingguo's mansion to vent her hatred.

The person who received them in the mansion was the third wife's concubine, Zhao.

Gu Wen and the others suffered injuries from trying to stop the bad guys.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchu looked coldly at Wang and Zhao.

How could there be such an extremely stupid person?

Since this matter concerns the first and third wives, it is difficult for Gu Jinchu to make a decision. He just did it to scare Wang and Zhao.

However, if the problem of these two women is not dealt with, they will one day affect the Dingguo Mansion again.

When everything was arranged and it was almost dawn outside, Gu Jinchu licked his dry lips.

Not only did I not sleep that night, I have only just had a cup of tea from last night till now.

The hunger in her stomach made her a little dazed, so she ordered the kitchen to make her a bowl of noodles with chicken soup.

After a simple wash and wash, Gu Jinchu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go to her grandparents' house to pick up her two children.

As she walked out of the main room, she whispered, "If mother asks, just tell her I'm going to pick up Nuonuo and Tuanzi. If it's Master Wu who's back..."

"When Fifth Master comes out of the palace, he will go to my grandparents' house first."

She walked faster and faster, and it was obvious that she couldn't wait to see the two children.

The Fifth Master did not return home all night. I guess at this moment, he is rushing out of the palace gate and riding his horse at full speed towards Gu'an.

They might meet up at Zheng's house and take the two children home together.

The carriage with green curtains quietly stopped outside the gate of Yuanyuan Hall, and Gu Jinchu stepped onto the carriage shaft with the help of Bai Zhi. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from far away and approached.

She subconsciously turned sideways and looked over there. The smile on her face was dazzling and bright in the morning light.

It’s Jiang Nansheng who’s back.

She saw him on horseback, and when she met his eyes, she saw the same joy and eagerness in his eyes as she did.

Gu Jinchu no longer cared about being dignified and prudent. She squatted down and jumped off the carriage.

Her clothes fluttered lightly and she ran towards Master Jiang Wu with a smile on her face.

Master Jiang Wu was standing tall and handsome on horseback. He was afraid that the horse under him would hurt her, so he held the reins tightly with his big hands.

Gu Jinchu stood under his horse and looked up, and the two men's eyes met.

She panted slightly and opened her arms to him.

The smile on Jiang Wuye's face grew bigger and bigger, making Gu Jinchu feel that he was full of youthfulness that she had never seen before. He leaned down, put his hands under her armpits, and used his waist and abdomen to hold her on the horse's back.

With only each other in their eyes, they slowly approached each other and their lips gently touched.

In an instant, the kiss became hot and lingering.

The carriage with green curtains slowly stopped. Inside the carriage, the nurses were holding two children. On the pink faces of Nuonuo and Tuanzi, their big dark eyes were rolling around, staring straight at their father and mother who were hugging each other.

The two little guys opened their hands eagerly and babbled, looking extremely anxious.

Master Jiang Wu raised his head, looked at the rosy-faced Jin Chu, and jumped off the horse while holding her in his arms.

He held Nuonuo and she held Tuanzi, and that was everything to him.

......

At the first morning court session after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Jianming Zhao Yu wore a brown cassock, and his black hair, which could have been combed behind his head, had disappeared.

Just like he looked when Jiang Nansheng brought him back from Huguo Temple more than a year ago.

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. Was their emperor going to restore his status as a monk?

Then...a country cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Grand Secretary Yang trembled and was heartbroken, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" With tears streaming down his face.

"Lord Yang, you should know me best. I am not suitable for the throne." Zhao Yu looked down and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.

Zhao Yu left an imperial edict, passing the throne to the eldest princess Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan changed the reign title to Yongle and ascended the throne on September 16th of the first year of Yongle.

Jiang Nansheng was specially appointed as the regent, the only king of a different surname since the founding of the dynasty. He supervised state affairs and concurrently served as the chief justice of the Dali Temple.

He granted his wife Gu Jinchu the title of Regent Princess, his eldest son Jiang Chengen the title of Crown Prince, and his eldest daughter Jiang Yuen the title of Princess Chang'an.
