The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Regent's House

Changfeng reported to Mu Jiuchen with a serious look: "Master, Shi Liu sent a message. After your message was delivered, Master Jiang summoned his two sons to the study for a private talk. Because our people dare not get too close, the specific details are not clear yet. Do you think we need to send Shi Liu again to investigate?"

Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He slapped the table hard, and his voice was a little angry: "Changfeng, how can you be so confused! I sent you to the Jiang family and the Xie family to ensure their safety, not to monitor them. Besides, now that Shi Liu has become Miss Jiang's personal maid, she should serve her master wholeheartedly. Tell her that unless there is an emergency, there is no need to send any news back!"

After saying that, Mu Jiuchen threw the document in his hand fiercely at Changfeng. Changfeng hurriedly caught it, secretly annoyed in his heart. He had never expected that he would misinterpret his master's intention. He knew that this mistake made Mu Jiuchen extremely disappointed, and he could not help but bow his head and admit his mistake: "I understand, I am really ashamed, please punish me, sir."

Mu Jiuchen stared at Changfeng and said in a serious tone: "This will not happen again! You must be careful and thorough in the future and never make the same mistake again." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Changfeng to leave.

Mu Jiuchen carefully took out the exquisite purse from his bosom, as if it were a rare treasure. He gently placed it in the palm of his hand, stroking it with his fingers, feeling the delicate texture and soft touch. As he moved, a smile gradually crept up the corners of his mouth, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, then slowly moved closer to the purse and sniffed the scent emanating from it. Suddenly, a fresh and elegant scent blew across his nose like a spring breeze, making him feel relaxed and happy. This fragrance seemed to carry the unique charm of Jiang Li, which made him involuntarily think of the time he spent with her today.

This purse was the first gift Jiang Li gave to Mu Jiuchen. It meant a lot to him. At this moment, Mu Jiuchen was immersed in this warm memory and felt particularly happy.

"Miss, this is terrible! I heard that the eldest and second young masters were punished by the master!" Chuntao rushed in from outside, muttering to herself.

When Jiang Li heard this, he stood up immediately, frowned slightly, and asked hurriedly, "Why? What did they do to make Dad so angry?"

Seeing this, Chun Tao hurriedly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. I heard it's a small matter. The two young masters have already returned to their respective courtyards. I just happened to hear Yuan Bao, who was beside the third young master, mention this matter. It is said that the third young master's knee is still a little purple, but it's not a big deal. He went out this time to buy some medicinal herbs and happened to meet me on the way, so he mentioned it."

Seeing that her young lady was still worried, Chun Tao made up her mind and told her everything she knew: "Young lady, don't worry. Yuan Bao also said that it's not serious and they will be back to normal in a few days. Besides, the master only punished them to kneel for a while. If you are really worried, I will ask for you later."

"No need, I'll go by myself tomorrow!" Jiang Li looked outside and saw that it was getting late. She thought about asking her third brother tomorrow. As for the eldest brother, she would rather not go by herself. She was afraid that the punishment of the eldest and third brothers might be related to her. If she went to him, she would inevitably be nagged. When she was a child, whenever she had something wrong, her three brothers would be punished. Fortunately, her second brother was not at home this time, otherwise all three of them would be punished.

The next morning, Jiang Li couldn't wait to come to the third brother's yard. Fortunately, Jiang Bu didn't go out early as usual. When she stepped into the yard, she saw the third brother sitting by the bed, carefully wiping the wound on his knee. The purple color was extremely dazzling, as if telling the pain of last night.

"Third brother, it must be very painful, right? Let me help you apply the ointment, okay?" Jiang Li was anxious and strode forward, wanting to take the ointment from the third brother's hand.

However, Jiang Bu suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Li'er, stop! Turn around right now!"

This sudden rebuke startled Jiang Li, but out of respect and obedience to her third brother, she stopped, turned around obediently, and looked out of the yard. A slight noise came from behind her, like the sound of clothes rubbing against each other and the sound of ointment being applied. Time passed by, and finally, Jiang Li heard the deep voice of her third brother: "Okay, you can come and sit down."

Jiang Li slowly turned around and walked towards her third brother with concern in her eyes. After she sat down, Jiang Bu looked at her seriously and solemnly and said, "Li'er, remember, your brother is a real man. You are a girl, so you should pay more attention to these things in the future, understand?" Usually, Jiang Bu loved Jiang Li very much and spoke gently and kindly, never so harshly. At this moment, his expression was particularly solemn, which made Jiang Li a little scared. She could only pout her lips and tap her chin to show that she understood.

"Third brother, how is your leg? Does it still hurt? Why did Daddy punish you and Big Brother? Is it because of me again..." Jiang Li frowned and looked at Jiang Bu's injured leg worriedly, while muttering to herself in a low voice full of self-blame. She thought to herself: I must have done something wrong again, which caused Third Brother and Big Brother to be punished by Daddy...

"Li'er, stop thinking too much! Don't worry, your brothers are fine. This little injury is nothing. And daddy didn't punish us just because of you. It's just that your brothers don't care about you enough, so daddy only punished us lightly to teach us a lesson!" Jiang Bu saw his sister's guilty look and quickly comforted her. At the same time, he deliberately downplayed the matter to prevent her from continuing to worry.
