The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 407: Prince, Let’s Talk

Mu Jiuchen did not make a clear statement on the spot whether he would adopt Jiang Li's suggestion, but he also did not blame Jiang Li. In fact, the real reason why Mu Jiuchen was hesitant was that deep in his heart he was really reluctant to give up Jiang Li's idea easily.

In the following period of time, Jiang Li focused on the treatment of her own injuries, and on the other hand, she followed Mu Jiuchen and his companions closely and actively participated in the disaster relief operations in Qincheng. During this period, Jiang Li always followed the experienced doctor Lu and assisted in completing various tasks to the best of her ability. Although the tasks she could undertake were relatively limited, she took every detail of the work seriously and completed it attentively.

At the same time, Xie Ci, holding the token granted by Mu Jiuchen, set out on a journey to Gansu and Shaanxi, which was more than a hundred miles away from here. The purpose of his trip was to conduct an in-depth investigation of the relevant matters concerning Governor Yao.

Each member of the group was equipped with a dedicated guard, and because of this, the entire disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly and smooth manner.

As for the thorny problem of lack of funds, after careful consideration, Mu Jiuchen finally decided to follow the advice given by Jiang Li. So, he personally came forward and sincerely invited the well-known wealthy businessmen in Gansu and Shaanxi to donate generously and join in the charity. At first, facing such a request, some wealthy businessmen showed some resistance. However, when the person responsible for delivering the invitations elaborated in detail the generous rewards that were closely linked to the honor of their respective families, the attitudes of many wealthy businessmen immediately changed 180 degrees. They responded enthusiastically and rushed to take out a lot of money to support this disaster relief cause.

A few days later, Xie Ci finally returned, and with him appeared the famous governor of Gansu and Shaanxi—Han Chengbei! Once this news came out, it was like a huge rock falling into the water, stirring up a thousand waves. You know, since Han Chengbei fell into the law in Qincheng, the people of the Yao family were quickly controlled by Changfeng. Such a swift momentum was really jaw-dropping.

Meanwhile, the confined Liu Fenghua was not idle. These days, she stayed by her mother's side all day, trying to please her, act cute and coquettish, and tried her best to win her mother's favor. Finally, after half a month of confinement, she successfully got the opportunity to lift the ban. After regaining her freedom, Liu Fenghua rushed back to her father Liu Yi as soon as she walked out of the confinement.

This time, Liu Fenghua changed her arrogant and willful behavior and behaved very well. She lowered her eyebrows and spoke softly. She was very careful in every move, as if she was afraid of angering her father. Liu Yi, who was ready to fly into a rage, suddenly lost most of his anger and his worry about his daughter was also reduced.

However, under all these seemingly calm appearances, there is a pair of eyes that are always looming. Jiang Li keenly noticed that Liu Fenghua always cast his eyes on Mu Jiuchen from time to time, and his eyes seemed to have thousands of words. But Mu Jiuchen, on the other hand, seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to do his own thing, turning a blind eye to Liu Fenghua's frequent goodwill. This subtle atmosphere made Jiang Li wonder: Is there another hidden story?

Mu Jiuchen stood quietly in the distance, his eyes gently falling on Jiang Li. Jiang Li was seen busy shuttling between the wards, taking good care of every patient. Her petite figure seemed a little exhausted from long hours of work, her back was slightly bent, and it was obvious that she was tired and had backache. However, even so, she still smiled and did her best to complete the work at hand.

Whenever Mu Jiuchen saw Jiang Li working so hard, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. So, he would always find a chance to walk up to her and gently remind her to take a rest. But every time he approached Jiang Li, Jiang Xing would quickly appear beside his sister like a ghost.

Jiang Xing stood there silently, staring at Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Li with his eyes, his face expressionless, but the cold aura was hard to ignore. However, Mu Jiuchen didn't care about it at all, he still talked to Jiang Li calmly, as if he didn't notice Jiang Xing's presence at all.

"Li'er, take a break if you're tired. Don't forget that you haven't fully recovered yet." Mu Jiuchen looked at the beads of sweat on Jiang Li's forehead with distressed eyes, and subconsciously reached out his hand to wipe them off for her. However, just as his hand was about to touch Jiang Li's skin, he suddenly realized that there was a covetous Jiang Xing next to him, and his movements froze in mid-air.

At this time, Jiang Xing still had a cold face and said nothing, and the atmosphere instantly became a little subtle. But Jiang Li didn't seem to notice this strangeness. She still responded with a smile: "It's okay, Your Majesty, I'm really not tired. And although my voice is a little hoarse, it doesn't affect my work. Besides, I'm just helping Doctor Lu, this little job is nothing to me." After saying that, she turned around and continued to devote herself to her busy work.

"Your Highness, let's talk!" Jiang Xing looked at Mu Jiuchen seriously, with a determined light in his eyes. Mu Jiuchen slowly put down the work he was busy with and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to talk with Jiang Xing.

At this moment, Jiang Li, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke up: "Brother, what do you want to talk to the prince about? Why are you so mysterious?" She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Jiang Xing with curiosity.

Jiang Xing smiled gently, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Jiang Li's silky hair, and comforted her: "My dear sister, if you are tired, go and rest for a while. I just need to discuss some things with the prince alone, and I will be back to accompany you soon."

However, Mu Jiuchen stared at the hand that Jiang Xing placed on Jiang Li's head, and an indescribable impulse surged in his heart - he really wanted to move that hand away immediately and replace it with his own hand. But he couldn't find a suitable reason or position to do so at this time, so he could only suppress this strange emotion and try to keep himself calm.
