The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Carriages came one after another, the wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust. People who came to attend the Spring Banquet came in droves, and the number of people increased. Most of these guests were the younger generation of each family. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, elegant and graceful, or beautiful and charming.

Young men and women gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, exchanging their recent situation and interesting stories. However, in this lively scene, there was a unique presence - Jiang Li. She stood quietly aside, with an indifferent expression, as if she was out of tune with the surrounding hustle and bustle. On the other side, Liu Jingyun and Liu Jiaojiao followed closely beside Madam Liu.

As for why Liu Jiaojiao was able to attend the Spring Banquet, it was unknown how Minister Liu negotiated with Madam Liu, and finally succeeded in getting Liu Jiaojiao to attend the banquet with Madam Liu. However, when Liu Jiaojiao arrived at the scene, she was surprised to find that Madam Liu and Liu Jingyun did not seem to be keen on talking to others. They were taciturn and only nodded to acquaintances occasionally.

Liu Jiaojiao felt a little bored, so she suddenly had an idea and said that she was going to play with her little sisters and quickly left Mrs. Liu.

"Jingyun, go and have fun by yourself. Don't always follow your mother around. The young men and women at this spring banquet are all outstanding people, and you..." Madam Liu said gently, holding her daughter's hand.

Liu Jingyun blushed when she heard her mother say this. She knew that her mother must have a special purpose in bringing her out to attend the Spring Festival Banquet.

At this moment, a young man in a moon-white gown came over and interrupted the conversation between the mother and daughter. Madam Liu's face instantly became serious, and her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

"Aunt, cousin." The young man greeted Madam Liu and Liu Jingyun with a smile.

However, Mrs. Liu corrected her bluntly: "You should call me cousin." It was just a difference of one word, but it made people clearly feel the alienation.

It turned out that this young man was the child of Madam Liu's cousin. He was now 23 years old, but he was idle all day long and had nothing to do. Previously, Madam Liu had heard her cousin mention that she wanted to marry into the Liu family. And that cousin, Madam Wang, had always liked to compare with others since she was a child. She often ate and drank for free at the Xu family, and eventually married a sixth-rank official. Madam Liu naturally felt disgusted with such relatives.

"Yes, yes, aunt, how is my cousin doing recently?" Wang Jie didn't seem to notice Mrs. Liu's expression. He still looked at Liu Jingyun with a smile on his face. That smile was as bright and dazzling as the peach blossoms blooming in spring, which made people fall in love with it. However, behind this smile was a trace of subtle cunning and calculation.

Liu Jingyun nodded slightly, bowed her head and replied softly, "Hello, cousin Wang." Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, but it also revealed a faint sense of alienation. Then, she stood aside silently, like a quietly blooming lily, beautiful and noble.

Wang Jie muttered to himself. He had almost never met Liu Jingyun when he went to the Shangshu Liu's mansion. On the contrary, he had met the second daughter of the Liu family a few times. To be honest, he did not have much good feelings for Liu Jingyun's cold and frosty personality. In his eyes, Liu Jingyun was far less well-behaved and lovely than Liu Jiaojiao, the concubine's daughter. If it were not for his mother's repeated urging, he would not bother to set foot here!

At this moment, Liu Jingyun was thinking about how to get rid of the person in front of her as soon as possible. Wang Jie was still chattering, with a gentle and polite look on his face, as if he wanted to chat with Liu Jingyun to show his elegant side.

"Hello, Sister Liu!" Just when Liu Jingyun was feeling extremely annoyed, a pleasant voice like the sound of nature suddenly came, successfully interrupting Wang Jie's endless words.

"Sister Jiang, you are here too!" Although Liu Jingyun was not particularly familiar with Jiang Li, he could see her often.

"Madam Liu, all is well." Jiang Li turned around and bowed to Madam Liu again.

"Oh? Are you the daughter of the Grand Tutor's mansion?" When Madam Liu heard her daughter address her like that, she immediately guessed that this girl must be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in the capital. You know, in the entire capital, there is only one famous family with the surname Jiang, and that is Grand Tutor Jiang's family.

"Yes, Madam, I am Jiang Li," Jiang Li replied to Madam Liu in a very respectful and orderly tone. Her dignified and steady demeanor made Madam Liu recall the rumors in the capital. It is said that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family is a fanatical flower maniac who chases the third prince all day long. However, seeing Jiang Li in person at this moment, Madam Liu began to doubt the authenticity of these rumors. Perhaps, rumors are just rumors after all, and cannot be completely believed? After all, the woman in front of her, whether in her words and deeds or her expression and attitude, seems so decent and generous, which is far from the image in the legend. Could it be that the image of a flower maniac in people's mouths is just an unfounded exaggeration and misunderstanding?

"Well, she is indeed a good child. Jingyun, go for a walk with Miss Jiang." Mrs. Liu looked at Jiang Li in front of her, and knew in her heart that the reason why Jiang Li stood up just now was because he wanted to rescue her daughter.

"Okay, Sister Jingyun, let's go for a walk by the lake together!" Jiang Li invited Liu Jingyun with a smile, and at the same time, he turned around and said to Madam Liu: "Madam, my mother and several aunts are over there. You can go over and sit down with them to drink tea and chat."

However, Jiang Li never paid any attention to Wang Jie. Because she had just heard everything clearly, she suddenly remembered that the young master Wang in front of her was not a kind person in his previous life. It was after Liu Jingyun married him in her previous life that her fate became miserable. At first, Mrs. Wang treated Liu Jingyun politely for the sake of the relationship between the Xu family and the Liu family; but when Mrs. Liu was seriously ill and Minister Liu ignored the life and death of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Wang began to torture her daughter-in-law more severely. In the end, Liu Jingyun died sadly after only five years, and her experience was exactly the same as Jiang Li's previous life.
