The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 404 Life-saving grace

At this time, a delicate figure slowly walked out from behind Liu Yi. It was Liu Fenghua. With a grateful look on her face, she walked lightly to Mu Jiuchen, bowed slightly with a shy look and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness. Your life-saving grace will be unforgettable to me." It turned out that Liu Yi had just quietly told his daughter about Mu Jiuchen's extremely noble status.

However, facing the woman who was thanking him profusely and bowing her head to him, Mu Jiuchen acted as if he had not seen her. He did not respond with any words, let alone any gestures. His deep and sharp eyes passed directly past Liu Fenghua and fell on Jiang Li who was standing beside him.

"Li'er, are you scared?" Mu Jiuchen asked softly, his tone full of concern.

Jiang Li first glanced at Liu Fenghua who was still bowing, and then looked up at Mu Jiuchen. She couldn't help but smile and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, look, Miss Liu hasn't stood up yet!" While speaking, her beautiful eyes moved, looking at Mu Jiuchen with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly, and looked in the direction Jiang Li pointed at Liu Fenghua who was still saluting, and then glanced at Liu Yi who was standing not far away. Although he did not speak, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Liu Yi stared at Mu Jiuchen nervously, his eyes revealing obvious impatience. He had heard rumors about the War God Regent. It was said that this man was cold and ruthless, and treated all women with coldness. Once, a noble woman in the capital tried to strike up a conversation with the prince, and deliberately pretended to fall beside the Regent. However, she never expected that what was waiting for her was a ruthless kick from the Regent. This incident became a topic of conversation among people, and it also made everyone deeply appreciate the Regent's indifference and decisiveness.

At this moment, watching his daughter's actions, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed. He knew that his daughter was indeed outstanding, both in appearance and talent, and was rare in the world. In his heart, there were not many good men in the world who could match his precious daughter. But even so, when facing the regent who was so famous and powerful, Liu Yi found that he had no confidence at all. After all, the other party dared to kick away even the noble ladies of the capital without hesitation!

"Fenghua, don't be rude! The prince came here to help us with disaster relief, so don't be impolite." Liu Yi saw Mu Jiuchen's face darken, and his heart tightened. He quickly scolded his willful daughter. He knew that the prince was of noble status and powerful. If he offended him accidentally, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Liu Fenghua, who was usually spoiled, not only did not get angry after hearing her father's reprimand, but she smiled sweetly and nodded slightly towards Mu Jiuchen like a blooming spring flower, indicating that she already knew her mistake.

At this moment, Jiang Li, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. His bright eyes curved into crescent shapes, and he looked at Mu Jiuchen with a smile in the corners of his eyes. The deep meaning was self-evident.

Humph! Look at this guy, he can attract bees and butterflies wherever he goes, making those women fall in love with him. Oh! What a headache! Jiang Li muttered to himself, with a trace of dissatisfaction and helplessness on his face.

Mu Jiuchen took in all the changes in Jiang Li's expression, and naturally understood what this little girl was thinking about. He shook his head helplessly. He had no way to deal with Jiang Li's temper, but it was good that she finally responded, right? It showed that she still cared about him, and it was not just his wishful thinking. Well, take it slow.

While they were thinking about their own things, Jiang Xing, who had been standing quietly by the side, saw everything. He keenly caught the slightly concerned and teasing look on his little sister's face when she looked at Mu Jiuchen, and was immediately shocked: Could it be that my little sister had fallen in love with this prince? Oh my, what should I do! I was on guard against my little sister being abducted by some man, but I didn't expect that I couldn't prevent it in the end!

"Prefect Liu, I want to know what's going on with the Yao family?" Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

Liu Yi's face changed slightly when he heard the voice, then he sighed deeply, bowed to Mu Jiuchen, and then slowly replied: "Reporting to the prince, the Yao family is the richest family in our Qincheng! Their businesses are all over the city, and their financial resources are beyond imagination. Moreover, Madam Yao is the sister of the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi. Because of this, the Yao family is the boss in Qincheng and even the entire Gansu and Shaanxi region. It can be said that what they say is the final word! I have been an official in Qincheng for many years. If I meet someone from the Yao family on weekdays, I will avoid them if I can. I really don't dare to provoke them easily!"

"This is outrageous! How dare a mere merchant family be so arrogant and presumptuous! In my opinion, they may have the support of the Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi behind them!" Xie Ci, who was standing aside, was furious when he heard this and could not help but shout angrily.

At this time, Liu Fenghua, who had been silent all the time, saw that someone was finally speaking for herself and her father, so she hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "This young man is absolutely right! My father has been oppressed and constrained by the governor over the years, and he is miserable! I hope you can make a decision for us father and daughter!" As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

Hearing Liu Fenghua's sudden voice, Mu Jiuchen's originally relaxed brows instantly frowned, as if being pinched by an invisible hand. In fact, he was not the kind of person who had prejudices against women, but the Miss Liu in front of him was indeed a little different. She appeared in front of everyone one after another, attracting everyone's attention.

You know, Mu Jiuchen has spent more than twenty years in the deep palace. During those long years, he has seen all kinds of women, whether they are gentle and virtuous, or scheming; whether they are delicate and charming, or fierce and cunning. He is already accustomed to all kinds of women and the various means they use to compete for favor.

However, Miss Liu seemed to be well-behaved and proper on the surface, but every time she spoke, she was always able to reveal some key and important information just right. This seemingly casual behavior actually concealed a mystery, which made him and other men present have to pay more attention to her and pay attention to her every word and action.

However, even so, all of this was like a passing cloud in Mu Jiuchen's eyes, and could not shake the person he really cared about in his heart - that cute and playful little girl. In his heart, she was the only one who was unique and irreplaceable.
