The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

When Jiang Xing was about to investigate the matter, he had not expected that there would be so many obstacles ahead. And surprisingly, these obstacles did not come from other forces, but from the high and mighty royal family.

Jiang Xing took a deep breath and told Mu Jiuchen everything. His tone became more direct and frank: "When I started to investigate, I encountered some difficult problems, and the root of these troubles seemed to be inextricably linked to the royal family."

Hearing this, Mu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. The outline of the capital city gradually became clearer in his sight, getting closer and closer to them. He turned his head thoughtfully and glanced at Changyun beside him.

After a brief silence, Mu Jiuchen gave an order in a low but powerful voice: "Go and check! Make sure to find out the reason."

"Yes!" Changyun responded without hesitation, then turned around and left.

As Changyun's figure gradually walked away, the atmosphere around him suddenly became solemn, and the air was filled with a silence that made it difficult to breathe.

Mu Jiuchen stared into the distance quietly, lost in thought. Ever since he came into contact with that quirky little girl, his originally cold heart gradually melted, and his personality gradually became gentle and cheerful. However, at this moment, facing the complicated situation in front of him, he turned back into the image of the taciturn and ruthless regent. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that it turned out that the awe-inspiring regent had never really gone away, but because of Jiang Li's appearance, he temporarily put away his edge and showed a rare kind side.

When they slowly set out on their way home and arrived at Jiang's house, the sun had already set and it was already afternoon. It turned out that Jiang Xing had prepared for a rainy day long before he set out, and had sent a pigeon to inform his family of his itinerary. Because of this, when they arrived at the door of Jiang's house, they saw a crowd of people in front of the door, and it was very lively.

Among the people waiting, there were not only Master Jiang and his wife, but also Jiang Ying. What was remarkable was that almost all members of the Xie family were present, and the huge lineup was enough to show how much importance was attached to the reception. What was even more interesting was that due to the rumors that had been flying around some time ago, quite a few people who were just here to watch the fun actually came. In addition, servants from various court officials were also present, making the atmosphere on the scene seem a bit chaotic.

Faced with such a group of people of all kinds, the Jiang family, although slightly dissatisfied, did not dare to drive them away easily. After all, any inappropriate action at this moment could lead to new rumors, bringing more unnecessary troubles to the family that was already caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.

As for Mu Jiuchen, he did not return to the Regent's Mansion as everyone expected, but went to Jiang's Mansion with Jiang Li. When the beautifully decorated carriage stopped and the curtain was gently opened, Mu Jiuchen's tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone.

In an instant, the originally noisy and bustling scene suddenly became quiet, as if time had frozen. Then, a uniform voice rang out: "Greetings to the Regent!" "Greetings to the Regent!" Everyone knelt down and saluted with an extremely respectful attitude.

Mu Jiuchen got off the carriage with a stern expression, his movements smooth and seamless. He raised his hand slightly, motioning everyone to stand up, and said, "Well, stand up!" Before he finished speaking, he took a big step and walked straight towards Xie Bian and Master Jiang. When he approached the two, he nodded slightly, as a greeting.

"Lord Marquis, Grand Tutor! The relief work in Qincheng went so smoothly this time, all thanks to Lord Jiang and General Xie! They worked tirelessly and wholeheartedly to organize the rescue work, which is really admirable! In addition, Miss Jiang also made an indelible contribution! She actively worked to raise the first batch of vital supplies for Qincheng in time, which solved the urgent problem! This king has submitted this matter in detail to His Majesty."

"Your Highness. This is what a subject should do." Wu'an Marquis Xie Bian clasped his fists and bowed his head.

When the Jiang and Xie families heard this, they understood. It turned out that this was the so-called "truth" about Jiang Li's disappearance that was to be given to the outside world. Everyone looked at each other, thinking about it, but they all tacitly did not expose this carefully woven lie on the spot. After all, under the current situation, this statement might be the safest option that could avoid many troubles.

The people were whispering and talking to each other, and the noise was endless.

I saw a man with a pointed chin and monkey face, muttering in a low voice: "Didn't they say that Miss Jiang was kidnapped? What's going on?" His eyes flickered, revealing a hint of confusion and curiosity.

Another pockmarked man next to him echoed, "Yeah, yeah! I heard he even lost his innocence?"

At this time, an old lady with gray hair spoke up: "Don't talk nonsense! The Regent said it, how can it be false? Besides, the Jiang family has been doing good deeds all these years! A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes the owner of Liweilou delivering meals to those poor beggars in the surrounding area. The Liweilou is managed by Miss Jiang!" She gestured with her hands as she spoke, her face full of admiration for the Jiang family.

"That's right! The Jiang family is a serious family of scholars with strict family traditions. How can we tolerate your nonsense!" After hearing what the two men said, a burly middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly. He stood there with his hands on his hips, looking majestic, and frightened the two men so much that they trembled all over.

The two looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong, and turned around to squeeze out of the crowd and slip away. However, just as they were about to act, Mu Jiuchen, who was not far away, waved his hand slightly, and the dark guards hiding in the dark immediately understood what he meant and quickly flashed forward like ghosts. One of the dark guards quickly stretched out a big hand and suddenly covered the mouth of the man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks; at the same time, the other dark guard was no less inferior, and covered the mouth of the man with pockmarks on his face with lightning speed. Afterwards, the two dark guards easily led the two men out of the crowd like carrying chickens, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"
