The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

This massive disaster relief work lasted for a long month before it came to an end. During this period, Jiang Li, who had experienced many hardships, gradually recovered his physical condition and slowly regained his former vitality and energy. And the lively and lovely Xiao Yan always stayed by Jiang Li's side.

Time flies. Nearly two months have passed since Jiang Li mysteriously disappeared and returned safely. At the beginning, Jiang Li immediately used the sound transmission method to convey the news that he was safe and sound to his family as soon as he appeared. Because of this, the Jiang family and the Xie family in the capital stopped the large-scale search after learning about the situation. However, although the two families no longer searched everywhere, the intricate and entangled aristocratic circles in the capital keenly caught a hint of unusual atmosphere. Various rumors began to spread quietly in this seemingly calm social scene, and some even spread such unbearable rumors as "Jiang Li was kidnapped by criminals and lost his innocence." For a time, the capital was full of discussions, and people were full of curiosity and speculation about this once highly regarded child of the aristocratic family.

In the bustling capital, there is a place called Wenxuan Pavilion. A grand party is held here every month, attracting many noble children and famous ladies in the capital to attend.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. The Wenxuan Pavilion was bustling with people. A group of noble ladies in gorgeous clothes and elegant gentlemen sat together, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a woman in green spoke mysteriously, "Have you heard? The eldest daughter of the Jiang family met with misfortune a few days ago and was kidnapped! Moreover, according to reliable sources, not only was her virginity ruined, she even became mute!" After saying that, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a scornful smile.

Miss Lin, who was sitting nearby, nodded and agreed quickly after hearing this: "That's right! How pitiful! A lady from a good family has ended up like this." As soon as these words came out, all the noble ladies present covered their mouths and laughed softly.

For a moment, laughter rose and fell, as if to drown the entire Wenxuan Pavilion. However, at this moment, a gentle but majestic male voice suddenly sounded: "What nonsense are you ignorant people talking about here? How can my daughter of the Xie family be slandered like this!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dignified man looking at the women who spoke rudely with his eyes wide open.

"Mr. Xie, how can you be so slanderous and accuse us of talking nonsense! Everyone in the entire capital knows that Miss Jiang Li has been missing for nearly two months! Since you think what we said is untrue, could you please tell everyone where Jiang Li went? Humph!" The woman in green clothes put her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes wide open, and looked directly at Xie Wenzheng aggressively, questioning him without backing down.

At this time, Xie Wenzheng's face was uncertain, and he secretly complained in his heart. This was because his grandfather had repeatedly warned him not to reveal the fact that his cousin Jiang Li was kidnapped. However, the disaster relief in Qincheng was a real great achievement, and after they returned to Beijing, the matter would definitely be announced to the world. At this moment, facing these outsiders' slander and defamation of his family, how could he sit idly by and remain indifferent? But if he rashly told the truth, not only would he violate his grandfather's instructions, but it might also bring unexpected troubles to the family.

However, the extremely intelligent Xie Wen Zheng soon thought of a countermeasure - "bullying others with power". Not long ago, when his grandfather received a letter from his eldest cousin, he inadvertently mentioned that his cousin Jiang Li was busy with rescue work in the disaster area with the Regent. Although this news did not make the matter clear, it was at least an excuse to temporarily stop the gossips. So, Xie Wen Zheng took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then straightened his body, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Don't make random guesses, my cousin Jiang Li has not encountered any accidents. As far as I know, she is currently participating in disaster relief work in Qincheng with the Regent. When the day comes, she will return safely, and then everything will be clear."

"My cousin, she was carrying out disaster relief work in Qincheng with my eldest cousin, the powerful regent! I'm sure you've all heard that Qincheng suffered a terrible earth dragon disaster not long ago. At that time, my sister Li'er happened to be out of town, inspecting the shops on behalf of my third cousin. It was a coincidence that the regent and the eldest cousin who were going to Qincheng for disaster relief passed by here and happened to meet sister Li'er, so they took her along to Qincheng for disaster relief." Xie Wenzheng talked freely, worthy of being a well-read cultured man, and his tongue was really sharp. In addition, their family was a military family with generations of generals, and he also had such a bold spirit.

After saying this, Xie Wenzheng turned his head slightly, and with a faint smile in his eyes, he glanced at the people present, and slowly said, "Could it be that you think what I said is intentionally slandering our extremely noble Regent Lord?"

When everyone heard that this matter was actually related to the Regent, they immediately fell silent and no one dared to make a sound.

Xie Wenzhen straightened his body, swept his eyes sharply over the group of people in front of him, then pointed at a few of them and said, "It's you, and you... I have taken note of all of you! When the Regent returns, I will ask my grandfather to visit him in person and tell him everything about how you guys have distorted the Regent's image behind his back!" After saying that, Xie Wenzhen looked proud and stared provocatively at the women who had just slandered Jiang Li.

At this time, the arrogance on the face of the woman in green had long gone, replaced by a pitiful and terrified look. She quickly walked to Xie Wenzheng and begged, "Master Xie, we really just listened to what others said, and we didn't mean to offend the Regent! Please be kind and don't tell Wu'an Hou, please!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

However, Xie Wenzheng was unmoved, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He shook his head with a gloomy face and said firmly: "Don't even think about it! You gossipers dared to gossip behind my back, and now you've been caught, and you still want to beg for mercy? Humph, it's just a foolish dream!"

"Mr. Xie, please have mercy on me! If my father knew about this, he would beat me to death! Then, my life would be completely ruined!" Miss Lin's face was full of horror. She walked forward hurriedly, fell to her knees with a thud, and kowtowed to Mr. Xie for mercy.

However, in the face of Miss Lin's desperate pleas, Master Xie was unmoved. His sword-like eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and he said sternly: "Humph! You are only concerned about your own safety now, have you ever considered my cousin for a moment? If what happened today gets out, and others mistakenly think that my cousin has lost her innocence, do you know how heavy a blow and harm this will bring to her? Hmm?"

Hearing this, Miss Lin was suddenly speechless and could only stammer, "I...I I..." For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. She looked panic-stricken and at a loss.
