The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Mu Jiuchen took light and steady steps, closely following Jiang Xing's broad back.

Jiang Xing gently pushed open the antique wooden door, and the hinges made a slight creaking sound. He then stepped aside and smiled, motioning Mu Jiuchen to go in first.

Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then carefully stepped over the threshold and walked into the room where they were temporarily living.

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Jiang Xing sat down slowly with a stern face. That cold expression seemed to be able to condense the air around him into frost.

Mu Jiuchen walked to the desk unhurriedly and sat down gracefully. He personally picked up the teapot, filled a cup of steaming hot tea for Jiang Xing, and gently handed it to Jiang Xing with a smile. Jiang Xing took the teacup expressionlessly, took a sip, and then gently placed the cup on the table. Then, he said nothing, just stared at Mu Jiuchen quietly, as if waiting for him to give a satisfactory answer.

At this moment, the whole room fell into a dead silence, with only the occasional rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves outside the window. Mu Jiuchen lowered his head, stroking the exquisite purse on his waist with his fingers thoughtfully, and Jiang Xing's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it. He saw that the purse tied around Mu Jiuchen's waist was very similar to the one he was wearing. Except for the slightly different patterns embroidered on it, the rest of the materials, stitches and styles were almost exactly the same, obviously all from the same pair of skillful hands.

Jiang Xing thought to himself, "This purse should have been made by Li'er for everyone in the family on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival. Could it be that there was some kind of connection between the two of them as early as that time?" Thinking of this, Jiang Xing couldn't help but frowned tightly, forming a deep groove.

Seeing that Jiang Xing's face was getting gloomier, Mu Jiuchen quickly explained: "Master Jiang, please don't misunderstand. This purse does not have any special meaning as you think. It was just given to me by Li'er as a token of gratitude."

Jiang Xing frowned and said solemnly: "Then, Your Majesty, what are your plans in this situation? I'm sure you know very well that our Jiang and Xie families only have such a precious girl. We really don't want her to have anything to do with the royal children! As for the incident with the third prince back then, we just thought that Li'er was young and ignorant." After that, Jiang Xing sighed deeply.

Then, he continued earnestly: "Besides, Li'er is simple and straightforward in character, how could she understand the intrigues and deceptions in the royal family! In addition, with your extremely noble status, it is impossible for you to have only one wife in the future!" Jiang Xing said while shaking his head helplessly.

At this time, Mu Jiuchen, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiang Xing with a firm and serious gaze, and said solemnly: "Master Jiang, please believe my sincerity. I am serious about Li'er! Here, I solemnly promise you that no matter what happens in the future, there will only be her by my side, and there will never be any three wives and four concubines. As long as Li'er is willing, I am willing to do my best to protect her for the rest of her life." At this point, Mu Jiuchen's eyes became deeper and more focused, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene of the future when he and his beloved would be together hand in hand.

Jiang Xing looked at the serious face of the man in front of him, and his heart could not help but move slightly. However, the little sister did not belong to him alone. If he wanted to agree to this matter, he not only needed to obtain the approval of all members of the Jiang family, but also the consent of everyone in the Xie family. After all, the Jiang and Xie families only had this one beloved little girl.

"So, you have to be fully prepared. The Jiang and Xie families regard this only pearl as a treasure. If you want to get everyone to agree, the prince will have to spend more time and effort." After Jiang Xing finished speaking earnestly, he turned around and prepared to leave. When he walked to the door, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back and added: "If one day I find that you have caused any harm to my little sister, even if we use all our family's strength, we will take her away without hesitation and will never tolerate it!"

Hearing this, Mu Jiuchen hurriedly responded solemnly: "Please rest assured, I will never let Li'er down, and I will never let her suffer the slightest injustice! Never!" After saying that, he secretly added in his heart: "Because she is the person I have been waiting for several lifetimes to meet!"

Jiang Li stared ahead with eyes wide open, and when she finally saw the tall and straight figure - Mu Jiuchen slowly approaching, her curiosity was instantly ignited. He also looked solemn.

Jiang Li couldn't hold back his inner doubts, and ran to Mu Jiuchen like a happy little bird, raised his head, blinked his big watery eyes and asked: "Brother, what did you talk about? Why are you all so stern, as if something terrible has happened?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xing, who was standing by, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile. He reached out and gently touched Jiang Li's soft hair, and said softly: "It's nothing serious, little girl, don't worry about it!"

However, Jiang Li was obviously not satisfied with this answer. She curled her lips and muttered, "Hmph, big brother just knows how to fool me. He must be hiding some secret from me!" As she spoke, she shook her head mischievously, trying to avoid big brother's "clutches".

Seeing this scene, Mu Jiuchen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly let out a low and magnetic laugh: "Hehe..." This laughter was like a clear spring flowing into the hearts of everyone present, but it also carried a hint of imperceptible mystery.

Jiang Li could not help but be stunned. She looked at Mu Jiuchen in disbelief. This was the first time she heard this usually cold elder brother laugh so heartily. The laughter was like the sound of nature, making her ears itch.

After coming back to her senses, Jiang Li's cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked up at Mu Jiuchen again. But at this moment, she caught a glimpse of Liu Fenghua not far away staring at Mu Jiuchen infatuatedly, and that look was simply annoying.

Jiang Li's heart suddenly surged with an unknown fire, and her smiling face instantly fell. She said to Mu Jiuchen coquettishly: "Don't laugh! What are you laughing at!"

Mu Jiuchen seemed to have noticed the change in Jiang Li's mood, and he followed her gaze and met Liu Fenghua's eyes. His face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes like cold stars swept coldly towards Liu Fenghua, while casting a warning look.

Liu Fenghua was frightened by the cold gaze and trembled all over. He quickly lowered his head and pretended nothing had happened and continued with the work in his hands.
