The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Miss, are you up?" Chuntao's cheerful voice came from outside. Chuntao walked to the closet with ease and took out the dress she was going to wear today. When she walked to the bedside, she saw Shi Liu massaging the young lady, so she asked casually:

"Miss, what's wrong with you? You look very tired!"

Jiang Li closed his eyes, enjoying Shi Liu's massage skills, and replied:

"Yeah, I don't know what happened..."

Chun Tao put her dress on the low table beside the bed, then raised her head and said to Jiang Li:

"Miss, you will wear this dress later. I will go to the kitchen to see if Sister Xia He's breakfast is ready."

However, just as Chun Tao turned to leave, she suddenly noticed something wrong. Her eyes widened, staring at Jiang Li's mouth, and asked in surprise:

"Miss, what's wrong with your mouth?"

Hearing Chuntao's question, Shi Liu secretly thought, "Oh no! I'm going to be discovered!" She looked at Chuntao nervously, hoping not to cause too much trouble.

Jiang Li patted Shi Liu who was massaging her from behind, signaling her to stop. Shi Liu was in great pain, but she still let go of her hand silently and stood aside.

Jiang Li stood up and walked to the mirror to take a closer look. She looked closely and was surprised to find that her mouth had turned red and slightly swollen. She touched it lightly and immediately felt a stinging pain. She couldn't help but wonder what happened to cause her mouth to become like this?

"Shiliu, you were on guard last night. Why are the young lady's lips so swollen?" Chuntao turned and looked at Shiliu, with confusion and worry on her face.

Shi Liu thought to herself that something was wrong, but she quickly reacted and replied calmly, "Ah? Oh! I'm not sure. It might be a mosquito bite! Yes, it was a mosquito bite."

Chuntao didn't seem to believe Shiliu's explanation. She frowned and continued to ask, "But the lip is so swollen, it doesn't look like a mosquito bite. Did you eat something that caused an allergy?"

Shi Liu shook her head quickly and said firmly, "It must be a mosquito bite! There were indeed a few mosquitoes buzzing in the room last night. The lady might have been bitten by one of them, so her lips are swollen."

Shi Liu secretly complained in her heart. She knew the real reason why the young lady's lips were swollen, but she couldn't tell Chun Tao the truth. The prince sneaked into the young lady's boudoir last night and kissed her lips so passionately that they were red and swollen. If this matter were to be spread, not only would the young lady's reputation be damaged, but she herself would also be punished. The key point was that the young lady had no idea about this.

Shi Liu couldn't help but silently apologize to the prince in her heart, hoping that he would not blame her for comparing him to a mosquito. She could only come up with this excuse to cover up the truth in order to protect the young lady and herself.

Seeing Shi Liu's persistence, Chun Tao stopped asking. She picked up a bottle of ointment and gently applied it on the young lady's lips, saying with concern: "I hope this ointment can reduce the swelling quickly. It will be troublesome if the young lady can't eat because of the swollen and painful lips."

Shi Liu nodded in agreement. She watched Chun Tao take good care of the young lady, and secretly felt lucky that she had not aroused more suspicion. At the same time, she also decided to be more cautious in the future and not to go too far when telling the prince!

Jiang Li was no longer the innocent little girl. She gently stroked her slightly swollen lips and looked at Shi Liu with a hint of doubt in her eyes. However, she felt an indescribable feeling deep in her heart, as if she felt that Shi Liu's behavior today was a little strange.

"Shi Liu, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Li asked softly, his eyes fixed on Shi Liu.

Shi Liu was immersed in her own thoughts at this time, and did not respond to Jiang Li's call immediately. Jiang Li raised his voice slightly and called out again: "Shi Liu!"

This time, Shi Liu finally came to her senses, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Could it be that the young lady had noticed something? You know, the young lady also knows some martial arts.

"Miss...Miss, what did you just say?" Shi Liu's voice was slightly trembling. She tried to keep herself calm, but a thin layer of sweat still appeared on her forehead.

Jiang Li stared at Shi Liu with her beautiful eyes, a hint of concern in her eyes, and asked softly: "I noticed that you didn't seem to have a good rest last night. Why do you look so listless?" There was a hint of worry in her words.

Shi Liu felt relieved, thinking that the young lady hadn't noticed anything unusual. She quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, young lady. Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night."

Jiang Li nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. "Then go down and have a rest. Don't overwork yourself. If you feel unwell, remember to let me know in time." She urged earnestly.

Pomegranate responded gratefully and silently swore in his heart that he would keep the secret.

Hearing the young lady's concern, she felt even more guilty. But on one side was the prince and on the other was the young lady, both were very important people. Besides, she couldn't beat the prince! What if the prince came again next time? Shi Liu got a headache when she thought there might be a next time! Ahhh!
