The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"I will leave for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow. Do you have anything to bring to your second brother?" Mu Jiuchen hesitated for a long time before finally telling him the news. Although he thought that Jiang Li might not feel sad about his departure given her personality, he still couldn't help but want to test her reaction.

Hearing the news that Mu Jiuchen was about to go on a long journey, Jiang Li, who was originally happy to know that her elder brother was safe, suddenly became a little stunned. A subtle sense of loss quickly passed through her heart, but she immediately thought that the regent's trip to the northern border was probably because of the food epidemic she mentioned before, so her face immediately showed respect, and her eyes stared at the wise and decisive regent in front of her.

"Your Highness, are you going to the Northern Frontier this time because of the thing I mentioned a few days ago?" Jiang Li asked excitedly.

Mu Jiuchen silently watched the subtle changes in Jiang Li's expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her initial astonishment and fleeting displeasure, he guessed that it might be because of a little lingering in her heart. This discovery made Mu Jiuchen feel a little relieved, and at the same time made him care a little more about Jiang Li.

"Hmm..." Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Li, who was full of admiration, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart. He knew that he was no longer a stranger in her heart, but a capable and respectable person.

Mu Jiuchen smiled slightly, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes. He thought: It seems that my previous efforts have not been in vain! Although this is only a small improvement, it is of great significance to him. Because only in this way can he slowly get closer to Jiang Li's inner world and understand more of her thoughts and feelings.

At the same time, Mu Jiuchen also realized that in order to truly win Jiang Li's heart, he would need to put in more effort and time.

"At present, we have made some progress in the investigation in Northern Xinjiang. I also want to thank you for the information you gave me." Mu Jiuchen thought of the news he received today. It was indeed because of the information provided by Jiang Li that he investigated and found out the spies of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"That's because a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command," Jiang Li said in a cheerful voice.

There was a sound of night watchmen outside, and he slowly raised his head and looked through the window at the dark night outside. At this moment, his heart was filled with endless reluctance, but when he saw Jiang Li's tired face, he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "If you have nothing else to do, I should leave. But remember what I told you last time, if you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can ask Shi Liu to go to the palace for help." He kept on talking, as if he was afraid of missing any details.

Jiang Li listened quietly. She could feel the other party's concern and attentiveness, which made her feel very warm. She nodded slightly to show that she understood, and said softly: "Thank you, I will remember it."

As he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave. However, before taking a step, he stopped and looked back at Jiang Li, his eyes revealing a hint of attachment and worry.

When Mu Jiuchen passed by the yard, he was still thinking about the unconscious Shi Liu. He walked lightly to Shi Liu's side, and a strong wind blew over her. Shi Liu sat up in a daze, and a piece of the prince's clothes floated in front of her eyes. She couldn't help but pat her chest, secretly thanking that the prince didn't let her sleep in this yard for a whole night. After calming down a little, Shi Liu stood up and walked towards Jiang Li's room.

After Jiang Li watched Mu Jiuchen leave, she took out the jade pendant that Mu Jiuchen had given her in Liwei Building from her purse. Jiang Li felt a little melancholy when she looked at the jade pendant. She had no connection with him in her last life, but how come she had changed more and more in this new life? She couldn't figure it out and felt so upset! She put the jade pendant back into her purse. A crisp sound reminded her of the original jade pendant in her purse. She took the two jades in her palm again. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something. She looked carefully and found that the two jades were so similar. The only difference was that the colors of the two jades were slightly different, but the carving techniques and the way of making the nets were almost exactly the same.

"Miss, it's very late, go to bed and have some rest!" As soon as Shi Liu entered the room, he saw his young lady sitting at the table, as if she was thinking about something.

"Hey! Isn't this the jade pendant that the prince gave you last time? What's the matter? Miss, do you have something to ask the prince?" Shi Liu noticed the jade pendant on the table with her sharp eyes and asked deliberately.

Jiang Li was startled by the sudden sound, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the jade pendant. She glanced at Shi Liu in panic, secretly thanking herself for not letting the other party notice anything unusual. She didn't want Shi Liu to know that the Regent had been here before.

"Uh, no, no... I just took it out to take a look." Jiang Li quickly shook his head to deny it.

Shi Liu looked at her suspiciously, but did not ask any more questions. Her eyes then fell on the other jade pendant: "Oh, these two pieces of jade are similar! When did the prince give you another jade pendant?"

Jiang Li's heart tightened when she heard this. She wanted to keep it a secret, but seeing Shi Liu's curious eyes, she knew that if she didn't explain it clearly, it would probably arouse more suspicion. So, she said with a stiff upper lip: "You think it looks similar, right? In fact, this jade pendant was not given by the prince..." As she spoke, Jiang Li lifted up the two pieces of jade at the same time and handed them to Shi Liu for inspection.

After looking at it carefully, Shi Liu nodded and said, "Yes, they are indeed very similar. It's just that the two pieces of jade are in different degrees of age, and the colors are slightly different." Then, Shi Liu turned around and walked to the bed and began to make the bed for Jiang Li.

At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed through Jiang Li's mind. She seemed to remember something important, but the thought was like a loach, fleeting, and she couldn't catch it.
