The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 176 Illegitimate Son

Jiang Li sat there and slowly calmed down. He recalled what Mu Jiuchen had just said and couldn't help asking another question: "Then didn't the victim's parents report it to the police? Even if Minister Liu is a relative, you can't take someone's life lightly! Besides, Jin is just a concubine in the Liu Mansion. How could her family be so bold and presumptuous?"

Although Jiang Li knew that some officials' families were bullying, this was the first time she had heard of such a case as the Jin family. She originally thought that the Jin family was so arrogant just because they were related to Minister Liu, but she didn't expect that they were involved in murder and adultery, which shocked her.

Mu Jiuchen looked at the girl in front of him with a slight smile on his face. She was indeed a little girl who was spoiled by the Jiang and Xie families and inherited the kindness and integrity of the Jiang and Xie families. She seemed to be completely unable to understand these dark sides.

"Let me tell you another secret!" Mu Jiuchen suddenly said, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

"What else?" Jiang Li asked curiously. The previous secret had already surprised her, and she didn't know what this new secret would be.

Mu Jiuchen looked at her with a twinkling look in his eyes, and then he said softly: "Although Jin Cheng's surname is Jin, he is not born to Madam Jin. He is the illegitimate son of Madam Jin and her eldest brother."

"What!" Jiang Li's eyes widened, and she was shocked again. She could never have imagined that Jin Cheng had such a background. This secret gave her a deeper understanding of the affairs of the Jin family and the Liu Mansion, and also made her realize the complexity and ugliness of human nature.

"What about Liu Jiaojiao?" Jiang Li suddenly thought of something. She felt that this Liu Jiaojiao should be a child of the Liu family!

"Liu Jiaojiao is not Minister Liu's biological daughter. She and Jincheng are siblings." Mu Jiuchen's words were really shocking.

Jiang Li was silent after hearing this. If Mu Yang knew Liu Jiaojiao's background in the previous life, would he still marry her as his co-wife? Maybe! After all, he really liked Liu Jiaojiao! He sighed in his heart!

Mu Jiuchen saw Jiang Li's silence after hearing his words. She felt her emotions fluctuate, and her eyes were full of disappointment. What happened to her? Why was she disappointed? Why?

Jiang Li looked up at Mu Jiuchen with a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing what to say.

Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Li, feeling somewhat puzzled. He didn't know why Jiang Li suddenly became so silent. Was it because he said something wrong? Or was it because of some other reason?

After a while, Jiang Li finally spoke: "I just didn't expect Liu Jiaojiao to have such a background..."

Mu Jiuchen didn't expect that the concubine's daughter of the Liu family would attract Jiang Li's attention. After all, they didn't have much connection.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She didn't want Mu Jiuchen to notice that she was acting strange, so she changed the subject and asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Mu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, then said: "I need time to think about it. But no matter what, I will not let anyone hurt you."

Jiang Li looked at Mu Jiuchen gratefully, and felt a little warm in her heart. He had been helping her and trusting her unconditionally since she first met him, although she didn't know why. But she was still grateful. He was the best person to her besides the Jiang and Xie families, and she felt that she owed him more and more.

"Now that concubine Jin of the Liu family has probably known that her son was taken away, she must be extremely anxious. So let's release those servants first, and also release the servant boy to report the news. We should let them know what Jin Cheng did. We must make concubine Jin, as a mother, feel distressed!" Mu Jiuchen told Jiang Li what he was thinking. Jiang Li knew he was up to something bad as soon as he heard it!

"After that servant goes back to report the news, I'm afraid the Jiang family will have no peace. You are at peace." Jiang Li glanced at him. Humph, he is holding the person, but Aunt Jin will go to the Jiang family. After all, the people who go to find Jiang Li are from the Jiang and Xie families.

"Don't worry, I won't let them disturb you. The servant will go back and let them know that the person is in my hands." Mu Jiuchen could naturally think of what Jiang Li could think of.

Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Li, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Jiang Li felt warm in his heart and a blush appeared on his face: "What are you talking about!"

Mu Jiuchen smiled, stopped talking, and just looked at Jiang Li quietly.

After discussing Jincheng's affairs, Jiang Li asked about her second brother again. She was very happy to know that her second brother would be back soon. She hadn't seen her second brother for two years and she really missed him a little!

The sound of night watchmen was heard outside, and Jiang Li realized that she had stayed with Mu Jiuchen for such a long time. Mu Jiuchen also saw that Jiang Li was a little tired, so he said goodbye and left. After all, her injury had not healed yet.

The next day, Mu Jiuchen released the servants.

Soon after, the Liu residence was in chaos. Aunt Jin was extremely anxious when she learned that her son Jincheng had been taken away. She asked around for information. The servant only said that they were taken away by a group of men in black and didn't know who they were. Even when they were tortured, the other party had their faces covered with black cloth.

The servant also told Aunt Jin about the kidnapping incident in Huangjue Temple. Aunt Jin was a little scared when she knew it. She did not dare to ask for help from Minister Liu. She had promised to send Jin Cheng back to his hometown, but she couldn't bear to do so and placed him in a farm outside the city.

"How could this rebellious son do such a thing!" Aunt Jin said with gritted teeth. She knew that if this matter got out, it would definitely implicate the Liu family, and then Minister Liu would not protect her.
