The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 88 Looking for opportunities

"Master, that man is indeed suspicious. We just intercepted his carrier pigeon." Changfeng respectfully handed the carrier pigeon to Mu Jiuchen and carefully took out the note and presented it to him.

Mu Jiuchen took the note and looked at it. He could clearly see the words "The Regent and his party are heading north". He frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised by the news. Then, he handed the note to Changyun and another person beside him.

"Master, which group do you think these people are from?" Chang Yun asked solemnly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Mu Jiuchen was silent for a moment and did not answer Changyun's question immediately. His eyes became deep and sharp, as if he was thinking about something important.

At this time, Changfeng understood and quickly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, placed them on the table, and quietly waited for Mu Jiuchen's instructions. Changfeng was slightly expectant in his heart, he knew that his master might take some action next.

Mu Jiuchen smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Changfeng and Changyun looked at each other, and they could both read a hint of doubt in each other's eyes. Changyun couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you trying to test whether there are spies from other countries in the capital? Or do you suspect that there are ministers in the court who are colluding with other countries?"

Mu Jiuchen smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Changyun's guess.

Changfeng took the note and put it into the pigeon's whistle, then went out to release it again.

They did not stay in Jicheng for long, but set off on their journey the next morning. Before leaving, Changyun specifically told Hu to keep a close eye on the waiter, and if the situation was urgent, he could be executed directly.

At the same time, when the Regent led everyone northward, in a quiet courtyard in the western suburbs of the capital, a figure stood quietly in the darkness.

"Master, the Regent has set off for the northern border. Should we start the action now?" A secret guard bent over and bowed before the man and asked.

"We need to find a way to get him out first. If he is always trapped at home, how can he have any chance?" The man stared at the outside of the yard and murmured softly. He seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes flickering. The secret guard took the order and went out.

"Who will be the winner in the end?" a soft whisper.

"Miss, the eldest princess's spring banquet is about to begin! Will Madam agree to let you go out for the banquet?" The maid looked at Liu Jiaojiao worriedly.

Since the last time she met the Third Prince in the bookstore, Liu Jiaojiao rarely left the house. The Third Prince rarely went out to avoid Qin Ziyi, so Liu Jiaojiao simply chose to stay at home and wait for an opportunity.

"Don't worry, although the spring banquet hosted by the eldest princess is nominally for flower viewing, everyone knows what's going on clearly. To put it bluntly, this banquet is to provide a platform for the young men and women from various families to get to know each other and meet each other! Daddy will definitely not miss such an opportunity that can bring benefits to the family." After experiencing what happened last time, Liu Jiaojiao has completely seen through it. In the eyes of Minister Liu, there is nothing but interests.

"Hurry up and go to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup. Remember to hurry up. I'll go and bring it to Daddy now." Liu Jiaojiao softly instructed the maid beside her. The maid immediately understood her mistress's intention.

Not long after, the master and servant arrived at the door of Minister Liu's study. Liu Jiaojiao stood there quietly, without any impatience, waiting for the servant to report. It must be said that Liu Jiaojiao has become more and more calm recently. If it were in the past, she would have rushed into the study without hesitation. After experiencing the incident with her cousin, she deeply realized that as a concubine's daughter, her marriage was actually completely in the hands of the lady. And relying on the Jin family was obviously very unreliable. However, the lady would never arrange a happy marriage for her. Therefore, she could only pin all her hopes on Minister Liu.

The servant who received the notification quickly walked into the room, reported to Minister Liu, then stepped aside to make way for Liu Jiaojiao to enter. A personal maid followed closely behind Liu Jiaojiao, and after she entered the room, the maid stood at the door and waited sensibly.

"Dad, it's late at night. You've been tired all day. I've specially cooked some red dates and lotus seeds soup for you. Come and have a try and take a rest!" Liu Jiaojiao walked to the table with light lotus steps, gently put down the tray in her hand, and then walked to Minister Liu with a smile on her face. She reached out her hand coquettishly to take the brush from his hand, and did not forget to act coquettishly to Minister Liu.

Minister Liu looked at his clever little daughter in front of him, feeling very relieved, with a doting smile on his face: "My Jiaojiao has really grown up, she even knows how to feel sorry for her daddy!"

Liu Jiaojiao smiled even sweeter after hearing her father's praise, and she carefully handed the bowl of lotus seed soup to Liu Shangshu. Liu Shangshu actually didn't like sweets very much, but seeing his daughter was so filial, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he took the bowl and tasted a few mouthfuls.

"Of course. My daughter loves daddy the most. Uh, ~" Liu Jiaojiao took the bowl, and her hesitant look made people feel pity for her.

Minister Liu looked at his extremely cute daughter and asked lovingly, "What's wrong, my dear daughter?"

Liu Jiaojiao blinked and mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, I heard from the servants that mother prepared clothes for my sister for the Spring Banquet. I also want to attend the Spring Banquet, but I wonder if mother will stop me from going because of my cousin's matter?" She expressed all her worries and grievances in one breath, then lowered her head and bit her lips gently, as if she was afraid of getting a negative answer.

After hearing his daughter's words, Minister Liu's heart softened. He understood his daughter's expectations for the Spring Festival Banquet, and he also knew that his wife might be dissatisfied with his second daughter because of some things.

So, he gently touched Liu Jiaojiao's hair and comforted her, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Daddy will tell your mother and will definitely let you attend the Spring Banquet. As for your cousin's matter, hasn't he been sent back?"

After hearing what her father said, Liu Jiaojiao immediately showed a bright smile on her face. She hugged Minister Liu's arm and said coquettishly, "Thank you, father! I know that you are the best!"

Minister Liu laughed out loud at his daughter's cute behavior. He patted Liu Jiaojiao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, go back and rest. It's late."

Liu Jiaojiao then let go of her hand and left the study. Although she was still a little worried about the attitude of the lady, she felt much better now that she had the support of her father. After all, she would definitely get her father's support before Minister Liu was determined.
