The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Brother, brother, something bad has happened!" Jiang Bu rushed into Jiang Xing's courtyard in a panic. At this moment, Jiang Xing was busy in his study packing things for tomorrow's trip instead of attending court because he was about to go to Jiangnan. Suddenly, a piercing shout broke the quiet atmosphere - it was the shouting voice of his younger brother Jiang Bu.

"How can you be so naughty and playful all day long? You are already an adult, why are you still so naughty and careless?" Jiang Xing stared at Jiang Bu solemnly with a stern face, and his sharp eyes like a hawk seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. Jiang Bu was frightened by his brother's look and immediately shut his mouth obediently, not daring to make a sound.

"What happened?" The eldest brother Jiang Xing was usually taciturn, but his aura of authority without anger made people feel awe. All the younger brothers and sisters in the family were afraid of this eldest brother. Even the second brother Jiang Ying, who had a fiery personality, behaved well in front of him and never dared to act presumptuously.

"Brother, I just discovered something incredible!" Jiang Bu's voice suddenly rose, his tone full of surprise and excitement.

Jiang Xing frowned slightly and responded impatiently: "Hmm?"

Jiang Bu didn't seem to notice Jiang Xing's dissatisfaction, and continued, "Brother, I found that the new maid in Li'eryuan and the gardener in the front yard have a very close relationship, but the strange thing is that when asked, they both insisted that they didn't know each other. What's even more strange is that their names are also very special. One is called Nineteen and the other is called Pomegranate! This is really too strange!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xing was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and stared at the other person, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light, but also revealing a subtle doubt. He frowned slightly and pursed his lips, as if he was pondering the words he had just heard in his heart.

"What are you doubting about?" Seeing that Jiang Xing didn't speak for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Bu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then expressed his guesses one by one: "I suspect that the Regent has planted more than just these people in our home. There may be more people hidden that we have not discovered. As for the exact number, it is difficult to determine at present, and further investigation is needed to find out the truth."

As he spoke, Jiang Bu couldn't help but think of the mysterious figure in the garden - Nineteen. This sudden appearance made him wary, and his intuition told him that things were far from as simple as they seemed.

Then he continued, "And from what I've observed, these people's names are likely to be related to numbers. Just like when I went to Chuntao to ask, I learned that the maid named Shi Liu was previously called Sixteen, and the gardener was called Nineteen! This is by no means a coincidence, there must be a mystery behind it."

As Jiang Bu spoke, he tried to sort out his chaotic thoughts, hoping to find some clues and clues. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and an inexplicable pressure gradually surged in his heart.

"Someone come here!" Jiang Xing shouted loudly while sitting in the study.

After a while, a voice was heard outside the study: "Young Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Then, a figure walked in quickly - it turned out to be Jiang Xing's personal attendant.

The attendant bowed and asked, "Master, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Xing nodded slightly, then lowered his voice and said, "Go find the housekeeper right away and ask him to bring the list of servants to see me, but remember not to be discovered by others. This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked."

The chief attendant took the order and left. Before leaving, he looked back cautiously at Jiang Xing, as if to confirm whether he had heard the order wrongly.

Looking at Changsui's departing figure, Jiang Xing thought to himself: I hope I can find some clues through this roster...

Just as Jiang Xing was deep in thought, he suddenly heard an exclamation from beside him: "Yes, why don't we call the housekeeper and ask him and we'll know! Brother, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it!" The person who spoke was Jiang Xing's younger brother Jiang Bu. He rubbed his hands excitedly and gave Jiang Xing a thumbs up.

Jiang Xing turned to look at Jiang Bu, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are always impatient and irritable on weekdays. When can you be calm and steady?" Although it was a reproach, there was a hint of pampering in his tone.

"Haha, I'm really not as smart as my elder brother!" Jiang Bu scratched his head, a hint of shyness on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when Jiang Xing said that.

Jiang Bu thought for a moment and continued, "Brother, why do you think the Regent King would act this way? Moreover, you and your cousin went to Jiangnan to investigate the case this time because you were recommended by the Regent King himself. Is there any hidden meaning behind this?"

Jiang Xing frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter is indeed a little strange. The Regent may have other purposes, but the specific reason is still unclear. However, since we have received his recommendation, we must go all out and get to the bottom of this case."

Jiang Bu nodded.
