The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 94: Close the doors and windows from now on

Jiang Li's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and it was difficult to calm down. She stared at the delicate, lovely, and charming woman in front of her with wide eyes, and was amazed in her heart: "This is Su Xiluo! The legendary Jiangnan talented woman Su Xiluo!"

In her previous life, Jiang Li was not very familiar with the noble ladies in the court. At that time, she was chasing the third prince and running all over the streets. Now that she has been reborn, she has gradually gained a general understanding of the noble ladies in the court, but it is only limited to those in the capital.

Thinking back to her past life, since Jiang Li married Mu Yang, she had been staying in the Third Prince's residence. It was the first year after her marriage, when a serious food epidemic broke out in the northern border area, and the people were living in poverty and suffering. The Regent and Jiang Li's second brother were also deeply involved.

The reconstruction work after the food epidemic was repeatedly delayed due to the empty treasury. Later, the ministers in the court proposed a fundraising campaign, and even the ministers' families generously donated money and materials. In order to help Mu Yang, Jiang Li donated 30% of her dowry without hesitation.

However, Mu Yang didn't take it seriously at the time and said sarcastically, "You are really good at taking advantage of loopholes and trying to please me all the time! If you really want to help me, you should donate all your dowry. Look at the talented Jiangnan woman Su Xiluo, she donated all her dowry!"

Later, this matter gradually spread among the public, and people began to discuss the relationship between this talented woman from Jiangnan and the regent. Some said that they were a perfect match made in heaven, a talented woman and a powerful regent, which was perfect.

There are also rumors that at a grand banquet, Su Xiluo risked her life to save the Regent, and the Regent fell in love with her. It is said that the Regent even went to great lengths to find famous doctors and good medicines just to cure Su Xiluo's injuries.

However, Jiang Li did not remember clearly what happened afterwards. Perhaps there were more twists and turns and stories, but they had gradually become blurred with the passage of time. Only this rumor became a topic of conversation among people after dinner, and it was circulated in the streets and alleys.

Are they deeply in love? ? ? Are they a perfect match? ? ? Jiang Li pursed her lips, and the cold face flashed in her mind. Could he really like the person in front of him? Many questions flashed in her mind one by one, and Jiang Li felt a little weird in her heart. If she saw that person again, she must ask him, hum... That stinky man who liked to break into her boudoir, she would close the doors and windows and never let him in again.

"A-choo, A-choo..." The Regent, who was in a hurry to get on the road, sneezed several times in succession, and Changyun beside him couldn't help but feel a little worried. It was the chilly spring, and they were speeding on the road, so they didn't have much time to stop and rest.

Chang Yun looked ahead and asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling unwell? Why don't we find a place to rest up ahead? We'll be arriving at the border town soon anyway, so there's no need to rush."

Mu Jiuchen pulled his cloak closer and replied firmly, "It's okay, no need to rest. We'd better get to the border town before dawn." In fact, he was usually in good health and didn't feel any discomfort.

Seeing this, Changfeng smiled and joked, "Changyun, you are too worried! Who is our master? Someone must be missing him! In my opinion, if I'm not mistaken, that person must be Miss Jiang! Hahaha..." After saying that, Changfeng did not forget to secretly glance at his master.

Sure enough, after listening to Changfeng's words, Mu Jiuchen's slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed.

"That's just nonsense!" Mu Jiuchen raised his lips slightly, and rebuked Changfeng in a very happy mood. Although he said the words of blame, his tone was not harsh at all, but revealed a hint of joy that was difficult to conceal.

Could it be that the quirky little girl was really thinking about him? Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but start to speculate in his heart. I wonder what the little girl is busy with at the moment? Thinking of this, Mu Jiuchen suddenly didn't want to move forward for a moment, but reason told him that he couldn't stop, because there was a more important mission waiting for him to complete.

Well, when he finishes his business and comes back, he will definitely bring her many new and interesting toys and delicious food as gifts.

"Keep going!" Mu Jiuchen shook the reins lightly, and led the horse ahead, while Changyun and Changfeng followed closely behind. The group gradually went farther and farther, and disappeared into the distant sky.

While Jiang Li was immersed in his own thoughts, Su Xiluo, who was standing beside him, had already commented on the young men and young ladies of various families in the capital. She talked eloquently about which young man was outstanding in talent and which young lady was stunningly beautiful, as if she knew all about these things.

"Miss Jiang? Am I wrong?" Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came, interrupting Jiang Li's thoughts.

Jiang Li came back to her senses and looked at Su Xiluo in a daze. She realized that she had just been distracted, but she quickly reacted and replied with a smile: "Uh, yes. Miss Su is really talented and beautiful. Jiang Li admires her deeply. Who in the capital doesn't know the reputation of Jiangnan talented women! It seems that we have the opportunity to witness Sister Su's talent with our own eyes today."

Jiang Li had originally intended to just go through the motions at this banquet, and even wanted to just lie down and give up. Performing? She wasn't interested in showing off her talent on stage. She would rather sit quietly in the corner and eat and drink. However, in the face of Su Xiluo's inquiry, she had to respond. After all, politeness and humility were necessary in such an occasion. Moreover, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on others.

Jiang Li thought to herself that maybe she could find an excuse to avoid the performance. She began to think about how to express her ideas skillfully without making people think she was too arrogant or unsociable. After all, she didn't want to offend anyone, she just wanted to get through the party in her own way.

Su Xiluo never dreamed that Jiang Li would speak like this, but she was not afraid to perform on stage. Su Xiluo originally wanted to set a trap for others to fall into, but she never thought that she would fall into the trap instead.

It seems that this Jiang Li is not what everyone has rumored. Let's take it slow! She wants to see what is so special about this person that makes such a person care so much?
