The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Young Master, Third Young Master, are you looking for me?" The butler Dong Shu walked into the room with steady steps, holding a thick booklet in his hands.

Jiang Xing raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Dong, please bring that booklet over here."

Uncle Dong walked up to Jiang Xing, gently placed the booklet in his hand on the table, and then respectfully stepped aside.

"Master, this is what you want." Uncle Dong said softly, his eyes revealing a hint of rigor and loyalty.

Jiang Xing reached out and picked up the booklet, flipping through it carefully. This roster recorded every servant in the family, including their names, ages, positions and other detailed information.

Uncle Dong stood quietly aside, waiting for Jiang Xing's instructions. He had served the Jiang family for more than 20 years and witnessed the family's rise and fall. He was full of respect and trust for this young and promising young master.

Jiang Xing closed the roster, looked up at Uncle Dong, and said gratefully, "Uncle Dong, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down for a while and let's chat together."

Uncle Dong nodded slightly to express his gratitude and sat down on the chair next to him.

"Uncle Dong, have we bought any new servants in our house during this period?" Jiang Xing asked casually, holding the teacup in his left hand and gently flipping through the roster on the table with his right hand.

"Yes, yes, brother, is there any name here with a number?" Jiang Bu stood aside, staring at the roster in Jiang Xing's hand, and asked anxiously, as if he couldn't wait to know the answer.

Hearing his second brother's words, Jiang Xing smiled slightly and continued to look at the list without responding to Jiang Bu. Seeing this, Jiang Bu became more and more anxious, but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only stare anxiously.

After a long while, Uncle Dong said, "Well, there are indeed eight or nine such people, and they should have arrived in the mansion in recent days. Strangely enough, several servants in the mansion had problems one after another last month, so I went to the pawnshop to purchase a batch of new servants. But these people were bought through formal channels, so there will definitely be no problem!" When he said the last sentence, Uncle Dong's tone seemed very affirmative, as if he was assuring the Jiang brothers.

However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed. In fact, ever since he learned that the two young masters were looking for servants with numbers in their names, Uncle Dong began to worry secretly. He couldn't help but wonder if there was really something wrong with the servants he bought this time, otherwise why would the two young masters care so much?

At this moment, Uncle Dong’s mind kept recalling the scene when he was selecting people.

"There are indeed quite a few male servants with numbers in their names!" Jiang Xing muttered to himself as he flipped through the roster in his hand, "There are numbers from eleven, twelve, all the way to nineteen... Hmm? Wait, why is sixteen the only one missing?"

He frowned and carefully checked the list again, but still couldn't find the name "Sixteen". He couldn't help feeling a little strange, so he turned to Jiang Bu beside him and said, "It's really strange, the list is missing only servant number sixteen, that should be Shi Liu who is beside Li Er." After saying that, Jiang Xing closed the list and handed it to Jiang Bu.

Jiang Bu flipped through it and found that it was true.

Jiang Xing turned to look at Jiang Bu and said, "Third brother, give the booklet to Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong must remember to pay more attention to the people I just mentioned. Their every move may affect our next plan, so we must not take it lightly!"

Jiang Bu nodded, picked up the book on the table with both hands, and carefully handed it to Uncle Dong, while reminding him: "Uncle Dong, this book is of great importance, please keep it carefully. If there is any abnormal situation, please inform me in time."

Uncle Dong took the booklet and nodded solemnly, saying, "Young Master, Third Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely live up to your trust!" After that, he turned and left, disappearing at the end of the corridor.

"Brother, what do you think the regent is up to?" Jiang Bu frowned, rubbing his temples and muttering to himself. He really couldn't figure out what the powerful regent was up to.

Jiang Xing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "The current situation is unclear, we must not act rashly. Let's wait and see what happens. However, I will go to Jiangnan with Xie Ci tomorrow, and the family affairs will all depend on you."

Jiang Xing became more and more uneasy when he thought about the upcoming journey. His future was uncertain, but as the eldest son, he had to take on this responsibility.

Jiang Bu patted his brother's shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. I will take good care of my parents and sister at home. If there is any disturbance, I will inform you in time."

Jiang Xing nodded, showing his trust in his brother, but the worry in his heart did not ease much.

The two were filled with worry and anxiety at this moment. The situation faced by the Jiang and Xie families was extremely severe. Any small mistake could lead to devastating consequences. This feeling of walking on thin ice made them feel more stressed, as if there was a sword hanging over their heads that could fall at any time, which was terrifying.
