The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 18: Find someone to marry?

When the Regent came to the main table, everyone stood up and saluted. As the host, Xie Bian greeted everyone with a smile, except for the third prince, whom he didn't like. Xie Bian was still very enthusiastic about the others. Everyone at the table had different thoughts. The old marquis was sixty years old and had seen all kinds of monsters.

"The old marquis is still strong and healthy!" The eldest prince spoke first.

"Yes, yes, the old marquis is blessed. All the sons in his family are brave and good at fighting, and even his grandson is outstanding!" The second prince also echoed.

Xie Bian listened to their compliments and responded repeatedly.

"You are too kind, Your Excellency the two princes are overpraising you."

"Hey, Your Majesty is too modest. All the sons in your family are talented, and your granddaughter is also beautiful and intelligent!" The eldest prince spoke again!

The Third Prince looked up at his eldest brother in surprise after hearing his eldest brother's words. Everyone in the capital knew that Jiang Li liked him. What did his eldest brother mean? He didn't think Jiang Li was special. In fact, he was a little disgusted by Jiang Li appearing next to him all day.

"Brother, are you sure? Beautiful and intelligent? Are you sure you are talking about her?" Mu Yang said with disdain.

"Third brother, how can you say that about Miss Jiang? Miss Jiang is just a little outspoken," the second prince said softly.

Xie Bian's face changed at this moment. Who wouldn't be angry when their baby was openly talked about by others?

The princes occasionally mentioned Jiang Li, which made the regent feel a little angry.

With a "bang", Mu Jiuchen threw his chopsticks on the table, and everyone immediately fell silent. The regent's cold eyes switched back and forth between the princes.

"Can't even food shut your mouth?!" The three princes were as silent as quails at this moment, with none of the lively and cheerful look they had just now.

The three people were in an awkward situation, so they stayed for a while and quickly left Xie's house. The others at the table didn't dare to stay any longer, so they also left.

Finally, only the Regent and Xie Bian were left. Xie Bian raised his glass gratefully. Before he could say anything, Mu Jiuchen said, "I'm sorry, the Marquis disturbed your birthday party." Mu Jiuchen felt a little sorry.

"No, no, thank you very much for protecting Li'er today."

"Master Marquis, you're welcome."

The others watched as most of the people at the main table had left, and soon they also chose to leave for various reasons.

Jiang Li had been sitting obediently beside her grandmother. Although she could not hear what the head table said just now, she saw the three princes leaving one after another. She was a little worried and kept looking over there. Her grandmother patted her hand gently.

"Don't worry, your grandfather has a plan in mind."

"Yeah," Jiang Li nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Xie Bian sent off the guests. Everyone was exhausted. Xie Bian sat in the main seat with a heavy face. He looked at the family in the room. Several sons in the family were in southern Xinjiang and did not come back. Only Xie Ci came back from the grandchildren. So there were only Xie Ci, Jiang Ye and his two sons, as well as his wife, daughter and three daughters-in-law in the room. Several grandchildren were not married yet, so the girls of the next generation were left alone.

"Li'er, go play outside for a while. I have something to talk to your father about."

Jiang Li was a little surprised. Grandfather actually kicked her out? It seemed that this matter had something to do with her. Jiang Li moved her lips and gave up. Since her grandfather didn't want her to know, she didn't want to listen anymore. She nodded and took the maid out.

Afterwards, Xie Bian asked the other servants to go out as well, and the rest of the people were a little puzzled.

"Does Jiang Ye know what the princes said today?" Because many royal children came today, Jiang Ye was not able to be with his father-in-law. So he didn't know the whole story. Jiang Ye shook his head.

"They are targeting Li'er." Xie Bian's words shocked everyone like a bomb.

"Now that His Majesty has reached the age of forty, the princes have become more concerned. Alas..." Xie Bian sighed.

"Father-in-law, what should we do now? Li'er is still young! In the past few years, when she was still young, she followed the Third Prince to make trouble, and we did not restrain her. Now Li'er also expressed her intention to give up the Third Prince a few days ago. I have not mentioned this to you yet, but now the First Prince has ulterior motives." Jiang Ye analyzed the matter seriously.

"Yes, that's what happened. Shuhua, what do you think?" Xie Bian turned to look at his wife.

"It seems that the only way now is to get Li'er married as soon as possible."

"Father and mother are leaving now because she is still young! She has just come of age." Xie Lan felt a little distressed.

"Then let's get engaged first, so that the royal family won't dare to make plans against you blatantly." Xie Bian felt sorry for the pampered girl who was raised by both families.

"But where can we find the right person now? This person must have a higher status than the princes, or Li'er will have to marry someone of lower status," Jiang Ye said with a frown.

After hearing this, Xie Ci became extremely anxious. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to. He didn't know what Li'er was thinking.

"There is someone who is very suitable," the eldest son's wife suddenly said, and she looked at her eldest son.

"Who?" Everyone looked at the eldest brother's wife.

"It's our Ci'er! Don't you think so?" she said with a smile.
