The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 26 Nice Young Man

When Changfeng arrived at Jiang Li's boudoir again in a panic, what he saw made his heart sink: the tightly closed door formed a sharp contrast with the wide-open window.

Chang Feng rushed to the window without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the windowsill - a series of messy footprints were clearly visible there! In an instant, all the truth was revealed to him, and he regretted it so much that he pounded the wall hard.

Recalling the scene at that time, Changfeng knew that Miss Jiang's clever choice to open the window was actually a clear signal to the assassin, indicating that she was willing to let him go, but on the premise that no innocent people would be harmed. In the end, Jiang Li even sent all the guards away to ensure their personal safety.

Changfeng returned to the prince listlessly and reported everything to him. Mu Jiuchen fell into deep thought for a long time before he gave Changfeng an order: "Go find Miss Jiang immediately and tell her that peace has been restored in the temple and she can go back to her room and rest. At the same time, ask Miss Jiang if she has found anything missing from her room."

Then, he turned around and instructed Changyun: "Track the Fourth Prince of Jin along the possible escape route. If he encounters resistance, he can be executed on the spot depending on the situation, but you must use covert operations to avoid alerting the enemy. In addition, transfer Sixteen to Jiang Li's side tomorrow to ensure her safety. A situation like today must not happen again, otherwise you will be punished!" The last words were obviously directed at Changfeng.

"Yes." Changyun and Changfeng took the order and went out.

Jiang Li hurried to the yard where his grandmother and mother were, and saw his mother was also there with his grandmother. He immediately realized that they must have both been frightened.

"Grandma, mother, are you all right?" Jiang Li walked quickly forward and asked with concern.

"Li'er, come and sit here quickly, don't catch a cold. Child, why did you run out in your pajamas? Where have all the maids gone? You are so careless!" Shu Hua looked at Jiang Li, who was only wearing pajamas and a cloak, with eyes full of pity.

"Grandmother, mother, don't worry, Li'er is fine. You all can leave first." Jiang Li whispered, motioning the maids to leave.

She really didn't want to worry her grandmother and mother too much, so she decided not to mention the mysterious man in black for the time being. She just said that she was worried that something might happen in the temple, so she came here to stay with them.

Not long after, Changfeng appeared in front of Jiang Li again and told them that peace had returned to the temple and everyone could return to their rooms and rest with peace of mind.

"Li'er, don't go back yet. Go to your mother's place and rest." Shu Hua said to Jiang Li.

"Okay, Li'er will sleep with mother in his arms tonight. Li'er hasn't slept with mother for a long time!" Jiang Li helped Xie Lan leave her grandmother's room.

The next morning, she returned to her room. She remembered that she had copied a scripture last night and wanted to give it to her grandmother and mother today, but when she walked to the desk, she was surprised to find that the scripture was gone!

Jiang Li was a little confused. She looked around, trying to find some clues. Then, she called Chun Tao and Xia He and asked them politely if they had touched anything on her desk. Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had not cleaned up the place.

"Could it be the mysterious man from last night?" Jiang Li thought to herself. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very likely, but she couldn't figure out why the other party took away the scriptures she copied. With a heart full of doubts, Jiang Li no longer dwelled on the matter, because there was something more important waiting for her today - to accompany her grandmother and mother to the main hall to recite scriptures and do morning lessons.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to re-copy a new scripture, so Jiang Li could only go to the hall empty-handed. She changed into a simple and elegant dress and walked lightly towards the hall. When she entered the hall, she saw her grandmother talking to the host, and Mu Jiuchen, who was wearing black clothes, stood beside her.

Jiang Li was not surprised to see Mu Jiuchen at this moment. After all, what happened last night was no longer a secret. She walked forward quickly and bowed to her grandmother and the abbot.

"Greetings to the host, greetings to the regent!" Jiang Li bowed respectfully, his movements were standard and regular, without any sloppiness.

"Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so polite." Mu Jiuchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded in a calm tone, but his deep eyes made it difficult to read.

"It turns out that yesterday's distinguished guest was the Regent!" Old Madam Xie was surprised, then she smiled kindly and showed respect to Mu Jiuchen, "My honor!"

After saying this, she bowed slightly as a greeting.

When Mu Jiuchen saw her salute, his heart tightened and he quickly stepped forward to return the salute. He thought to himself, "If I really accept this courtesy, what will happen in the future?"

"Madam, you are so polite. You can just call me Jiuchen." These simple and humble words were like a breeze that dispersed the tense atmosphere at the scene, but at the same time also made Madam Xie and Xie Lan feel suspicious.

You know, although Mu Jiuchen is young, his illustrious military exploits have long been known throughout the world, and he is deeply respected and loved by the emperor. In this huge Shang Dynasty, who dares to disrespect him? However, at this moment, facing the highly respected Madam Xie, he was so low-key and self-respecting, and took the initiative to address her by her name.

Such an action could not help but cause Mrs. Xie to think deeply. She began to re-examine the young man in front of her who was so imposing and elegant. In her eyes, Mu Jiuchen was not only a prince with outstanding military exploits, but also a person who knew how to be humble and respectful to his elders.

This made the old lady and Xie Lan feel that Mu Jiuchen was not what others said! What cold and ruthless, what cruel and ruthless, seemed to be all legends! The mother and daughter admired Mu Jiuchen! He is a good young man!
