The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

For a moment, the room fell into silence, and both of them silently pondered this thorny problem. At this moment, a slight noise broke the silence. A weak figure slowly walked out from behind the pillar. It was Murong Xue.

Her pretty face looked a little pale at the moment, and her eyes were slightly red, obviously she had just heard the conversation between the two. She bit her lips tightly and said in a trembling voice: "I don't accept it! No matter what, I am my stepmother's child, forever!" After that, she stared straight at Mu Jiurui and the eldest princess in front of her, her eyes full of stubbornness and persistence.

Mu Jiurui felt his heart drop suddenly, as if a heavy stone weighing a thousand pounds had hit him hard, so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He avoided her gaze and did not dare to look directly at Murong Xue, fearing that he would see disappointment, resentment, or other heartbreaking expressions in her clear eyes.

The eldest princess on the side said anxiously: "My child, you have been searching for your biological father for so many years. The person standing in front of you now is your biological father! He had unspeakable difficulties back then, which was why he was unable to go and find your mother." The eldest princess spoke sincerely, trying her best to resolve the estrangement and misunderstanding between the father and daughter.

Murong Xue listened quietly. Her pretty face did not show much emotion, but her slightly trembling lips revealed her inner turmoil. Finally, she slowly raised her head and looked at Mu Jiurui, then knelt on her knees, solemnly called him father and kowtowed to him. Then, she stood up, without saying another word, turned around and quietly left the imperial study.

Looking at Murong Xue's departing back, Mu Jiurui and the Grand Princess both fell into silence. The scene that just happened was like a dream, making people unbelievable and at a loss.

After a long while, Mu Jiurui murmured to himself as if waking up from a dream: "Elder sister, just now...did Axue really call me father? And she said 'father', not 'emperor father'..." At this point, this man who has always been strong and resolute couldn't help but burst into tears.

The eldest princess quickly comforted him, "Yes, yes, she did recognize you. You should be happy now, right? But how should we place her? Should we grant her the title of princess?"

Mu Jiurui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and after calming down a little, he said: "Eldest sister, please go back to the palace first and have a good talk with her on my behalf to find out what she has to say. To be honest, I have already prepared myself in my heart, but I am afraid that this child will not easily accept my identity openly..."

Later, the Grand Princess personally went to the palace to report to Mu Jiurui that Murong Xue really refused to accept the title of princess and insisted on continuing to serve as Princess Mingzhu of the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Hearing this, Mu Jiurui frowned slightly, secretly pondering the reason in his heart.

Then a shocking piece of news came - Murong Xue, who was only nine years old, went to the distant Northwest Camp alone! This rumor was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. For a time, people on the streets were talking about this brave and fearless girl.

Some people say that she had great ambitions and was determined to serve her country; others believe that she was rejected by the royal family and sent to the northwest because of her unknown background. However, no matter what the outside world says, Murong Xue's image has been deeply imprinted in people's hearts.

Murong Xue's thoughts gradually pulled away from her memories and slowly returned to the real world in front of her. In her beautiful and deep eyes, there was a trace of barely perceptible sadness and helplessness. This was the real reason why she resolutely rejected Jiang Bu - her special identity was really hard to expose to the sun.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, she is the General Murong and the Princess of Mingzhu, enjoying all the glory and wealth, which makes people envious. However, the truth hidden behind that glamorous appearance is so regrettable. Whenever it is late at night, Murong Xue often feels sad and lamented the injustice of fate to her.

At this time, the eldest princess on the side looked at Murong Xue lovingly and said softly: "My child, you have suffered so much! Are you going to give up your relationship with the third son of the Jiang family so easily? How about this, I will go to the palace to see the emperor immediately, and ask him to issue an edict for you two, and grant you a happy marriage." After that, the eldest princess held Murong Xue's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern and love.

Murong Xue shook her head slightly and declined politely, "Thank you for your kindness, stepmother, but this is absolutely not possible. I am about to set off to return to the Northwest Camp, which is my home. Moreover, the current situation is complicated and unpredictable. If I continue to stay here in the capital, I am afraid that many variables will arise, and it may even bring unexpected troubles and dangers to the people around me. Therefore, regarding this relationship, I can only say that we are not destined to be together. I hope that stepmother can understand my difficulties." As soon as the voice fell, Murong Xue couldn't help but sigh slightly, looking into the distance, as if trying to see through the heavy fog and see the road to the future clearly.

After hearing this, the eldest princess' eyes suddenly became moist. She knew the child's inner tenacity and helplessness, so she stopped forcing him, and just hugged Murong Xue gently with heartache, as if she was protecting a rare treasure. The two stood in each other's arms, and for a moment the whole room was filled with a strong sense of warmth and sadness.
