The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiang Xing and Xie Ci knelt there waiting for the emperor's instructions. They were calm in their hearts but looked worried. Although they both knew that the emperor might have some ideas or requests.

"You two, stand up! I am very happy that you two have done a great job in handling the case this time. Now tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" The emperor sat at the desk, looking sharply at the two people kneeling in front of him. He secretly admired in his heart that these two young people were worthy of being the descendants of the Jiang family and the Xie family, and they were indeed outstanding people!

After hearing the emperor's words, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci looked at each other and then stood up together. Jiang Xing bowed his head slightly and said in a firm and respectful tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my duty to investigate the case for Your Majesty. How dare I ask for a reward!" His eyes revealed his loyalty to the emperor and his conscientious attitude.

"Not bad, not bad. It's rare that Lao Jiu didn't misjudge you."

The emperor's words startled the two of them. Sure enough, this trip to Jiangnan was related to the Regent, but Xie Ci was not sure about the specific reason, but Jiang Xing had a little doubt in his heart.

He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: This bastard... is he interested in my sister? Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and vowed to protect his sister and never let her get hurt.

"Just pretend you haven't seen the things in here," the emperor said before leaving, making the two even more worried.

Afterwards, Xie Ci took Jiang Xing out of the palace and back to the Jiang family. They were silent all the way until they entered the gate of the Jiang family, then they breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the main courtyard of the Jiang family was already full of people. In addition to several elders of the Jiang family, there were also old ladies and ladies of the Xie family. They all came to visit Jiang Xing. Yesterday, because it was too late, the old lady was not allowed to come. This morning, the old lady brought everyone from the Xie family to the Jiang family.

As soon as Jiang Xing entered the room, he was pulled to his side by the old lady, who looked him up and down with eyes full of concern and heartache.

"My son, you are finally back!" The old lady hugged Jiang Xing and couldn't help shedding tears.

Jiang Xing quickly comforted her: "Grandma, I'm fine, don't be sad."

"Why are you so thin, kid? Have you suffered a lot outside?" The old lady said as she stroked Jiang Xing's cheek with her hand, her eyes full of kindness.

Jiang Xing was touched. He knew that his grandmother had always loved him, and she must be very happy that he could return safely this time.

"Grandma, I'm really fine, just a little tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Jiang Xing said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, that's good." The old lady nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of relief.

At this time, other old ladies from the Xie family also gathered around and asked about Jiang Xing's situation.

"Okay, are you hurt out there?"

"Okay, did you encounter any danger outside?"

Facing everyone's concern, Jiang Xing answered them one by one and said that he was fine.

Xie Ci stood aside, watching Jiang Xing chatting with his grandmother and the elders, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

At this moment, Xie Ci suddenly noticed that Jiang Xing's face was a little pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly walked forward and asked softly: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Xing shook his head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired."

Xie Ci frowned, he always felt that his cousin was not in a good state. But in front of so many people, he couldn't say anything, he could only observe Jiang Xing's every move secretly.

After a while, the old lady looked at Jiang Xing distressedly and quickly asked him to go back to his room to rest. Jiang Xing slowly stood up and bowed to everyone to leave. Seeing this, Xie Ci took the initiative to step forward and offered to take him back to his room. Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

The two of them left the main hall and came to Jiang Xing's yard. Xie Ci carefully helped Jiang Xing into the house and let him lie on the bed to rest. After Jiang Xing lay down, Xie Ci sat beside the bed and asked worriedly: "Cousin, do you think the emperor will investigate this time? After all, this case involves that prince..."

Jiang Xing frowned, sighed softly and said, "The things have been handed over to the emperor. What happens next is not something we can interfere with. We just have to do as the emperor tells us." He looked at Xie Ci, his eyes full of worry.

Xie Ci nodded to show that he understood, but he still had doubts in his heart: "But cousin, the things in the evidence yesterday were really shocking. I am afraid that the emperor will punish you severely for this."

Jiang Xing comforted him, "Don't worry, the emperor will know what to do. We just need to do what we should do, and the rest will be decided by the emperor."

Xie Ci listened, although he was still a little uneasy, but he decided to trust Jiang Xing and the emperor's judgment. After all, they were both experienced and wise. So, he said softly, "Yes, I know, cousin." He knew the seriousness of this matter. If he didn't handle it carefully, it might not only bring trouble to himself, but also bring disaster to the entire family. Therefore, he had to act with caution.
