The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

An Er answered truthfully: "Miss Jiang did not mention the specific reason, but said that if you do not agree, she will come to you in person to explain it to you." When he said the word "in person", An Er deliberately emphasized the tone, making it stand out. This was something Shi Liu had specifically told him to emphasize, but he did not know what the deep meaning was.

"Oh, you're going to tell me in person?" After hearing this, Mu Jiuchen's delicate lips slightly raised, outlining a faint smile. He gently put down the brush in his hand, his movements were elegant and calm, as if this simple action carried an innate noble temperament.

"You go back first, I will be there soon. Remember, you must not tell Li'er about this." Mu Jiuchen stared at the person in front of him with his deep eyes, his tone was calm but revealed unquestionable majesty.

"Yes!" An Er responded respectfully, then quickly stood up and bowed to Mu Jiuchen to take his leave. He flashed and left the study room like a ghost, rushing out the door. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight.

Mu Jiuchen stood up slowly, his slender figure looked particularly tall in the moonlight. He walked towards his room and prepared to change his clothes. It turned out that after he entered the palace to meet the emperor this morning, he rushed back to the mansion and went straight to the study to deal with affairs. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to change his clothes. At this moment, he needed to be in the best condition to see her.

A quarter of an hour later, the moonlight fell like water in front of the gate of Xiangya Garden. A tall figure in black clothes stood quietly, as steady and mysterious as a sculpture. He raised his head slightly, staring at the closed door, as if waiting for something.

This shadow was Mu Jiuchen. At this moment, he had an indescribable expectation in his heart. You know, this was the first time that Li'er took the initiative to invite him to Xiangya Garden. Although Li'er said verbally that there was something important to discuss, Mu Jiuchen keenly realized that this invitation was not just that simple.

Finally, the door slowly opened and Shi Liu walked out. She bowed respectfully to Mu Jiuchen and said softly, "Your Highness, please follow me in." Then she led the way.

Mu Jiuchen walked into the house with steady steps, and the door behind him closed gently. The secret guards who were hiding in the dark to protect him, seeing that their master had safely entered the room, also quietly returned to their calm, as if they had never appeared.

As soon as he entered the room, Mu Jiuchen saw Jiang Li sitting at the table. Under the flickering candlelight, her face looked even more beautiful and charming.

"Li'er, what do you want from me?" Mu Jiuchen's deep and magnetic voice sounded, intoxicating like a mellow wine. However, it was this familiar voice that made Jiang Li feel a little dazed.

In fact, Mu Jiuchen had stepped into her boudoir many times in the past to discuss matters with her, but for some reason, the atmosphere tonight made her feel a different feeling surging in her heart.

"Well, Your Majesty, please take a seat." Jiang Li came to his senses and quickly stood up to greet him, motioning for Mu Jiuchen to take a seat. After he sat down, Jiang Li personally filled a cup of fragrant hot tea for him, and then carefully handed it to him.

At the moment when Mu Jiuchen reached out to take the teacup, their fingertips accidentally touched lightly. This brief contact was like an electric current, causing a feeling of heat to surge in the depths of Mu Jiuchen's throat. He forced himself to calm down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea, trying to calm the waves in his heart.

"Why did you release Jincheng? The harm he has caused you deserves his death!" Mu Jiuchen clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. Whenever he thought of the pain and torture Li'er had endured that day, the rage in his heart burned fiercely, and he wished he could tear Jincheng into pieces immediately.

Li Er sighed softly, looked at Mu Jiuchen with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Things have all passed, and it is useless to pursue them. Imprisoning him now will only make him suffer physically."

Mu Jiuchen stared at Li'er with eyes wide open in disbelief. He raised his voice eight degrees and asked, "Are we going to let him go so easily? How can he not get the punishment he deserves for such a crime?"

Li Er smiled slightly, patted Mu Jiuchen's hand in a soothing manner, and then said: "Of course we can't let him go so easily. He will have to pay a price. Look, hasn't Concubine Jin been asking people everywhere to find out Jin Cheng's whereabouts? Why don't we send someone to give her some information and ask her to pay some money to redeem him. After all, Jin Cheng is well fed and well provided for here, we can't keep him for nothing, right, Your Majesty?"

Mu Jiuchen frowned, stared at Li'er thoughtfully for a while, and asked doubtfully: "Li'er, you suddenly proposed to let Jincheng go, do you have other calculations or plans in mind?"

Li Er rolled her eyes at Mu Jiuchen and said unhappily, "What plan? I just happened to think of this matter. It's not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this. And think about it, it costs a lot of money to support a living person every day. I'll take whatever I can get from Aunt Jin."

"Besides, this matter was originally caused by me! You have helped me so much, how can I trouble you again and again? After the Jin Kingdom delegation leaves the capital, it is time to withdraw the people you arranged in our two houses." Li Er finally mustered up the courage to speak out her heart. Her pretty face was slightly flushed because of excitement, and her beautiful eyes showed a little uneasiness and guilt.
