The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 221 Murong Xue Protects Jiang Li

At this moment, a delicate voice was heard: "Slow down!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Murong Xue's face was as gloomy as water, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she shot straight at the guard who was about to step forward. The guard was startled by her cold eyes and couldn't help but secretly wonder how a weak woman could have such a cold and piercing look that seemed to kill people without being seen, which made him stop involuntarily.

However, before the noise on this side subsided, Murong Xue kicked the maid who had just stood up to the ground again. The poor maid was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground again, screaming.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Wanyan Zhu'er was so angry that her face turned blue, her chest heaving violently, and she pointed at Murong Xue and shouted. At this moment, she felt that she had lost face. This woman who came out of nowhere dared to embarrass her in front of so many people. But when she looked into Murong Xue's cold and ruthless eyes, she inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of frustration in her heart.

Murong Xue was not moved at all. She still stared at Wanyan Zhu'er and said in a cold voice: "What did you do? She just pushed the waiter, causing the soup basin in his hand to almost fall on Li'er. Tell me, who ordered you to do such a thing?" Her voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

The maid's eyes were rolling around, her head was lowered to the ground, but she didn't say a word. Seeing this, Murong Xue was even more angry, and kicked the maid. The kick was so powerful that it knocked the maid to the ground, and a trace of bright red blood instantly flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"No one instructed you? Humph, do you think I am a three-year-old child who is so easy to fool? Tell me quickly, who told you to do this!" Murong Xue's eyes widened with anger and she shouted sternly.

The maid knelt on the ground tremblingly, and explained in a tearful voice: "There really was no one who ordered me to do this. This happened because I accidentally bumped into the waiter..."

However, before she could finish, the waiter beside her hastily retorted: "No, someone pushed me from behind, which is why I bumped into the girl!"

At this moment, the Fifth Princess, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly cast a sharp look at him. The shopkeeper was so frightened when he saw the Fifth Princess's eyes that he trembled all over and quickly reached out to cover the waiter's mouth to stop him from speaking.

"These two people actually have different opinions. Whose words are true?" The group of women chattered non-stop, their voices rising and falling like a group of noisy sparrows. At this time, the fifth princess turned her head slightly and glanced at the woman who had just spoken. She saw that the woman was a little thin and looked a little uneasy in the crowd. For some reason, she seemed to be out of tune with the other women around her and was squeezed to the back of the team.

Jiang Li took a closer look and was surprised: it turned out that this woman was Jiang Fanghua, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice! You know, the Minister of Justice Shang has always been known for his loyalty to the emperor and his country. He never participated in the party disputes in the court and always stood firmly on the side of His Majesty the Emperor. But now, how could his daughter be together with the fifth princess? Looking at the group of women in front of him, they are more or less closely related to the second prince. Could it be that there is some unknown secret hidden in it? Or is a complicated court power struggle quietly unfolding...

"Why bother so much? Just deal with it." Su Xiluo said lightly. Her words were like a thunderbolt, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads to look at this seemingly weak but sharp-tongued woman. Su Xiluo's mouth corners slightly raised, with a faint smile, and continued: "The maid bumped into the waiter, causing the hot soup in the waiter's hand to shake unsteadily and almost spilled on the guests. Both of them were at fault, and dealing with them together is the most fair and just way."

However, Wanyan Zhu'er, who was standing aside, had other plans in mind. She didn't want to lose face because of a little maid. After all, this maid was hers. If she let others do whatever they wanted, where would her face be? Therefore, Wanyan Zhu'er was very unhappy with Su Xiluo's suggestion.

"I will naturally deal with my own people personally!" Wanyan Zhu'er snorted coldly, then waved to the guards behind her, signaling them to come forward.

At this moment, Murong Xue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute! I saw her pushing someone with my own eyes just now! Since this maid is yours, could it be that she acted like this under your secret instructions? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she first targeted Li'er at the celebration banquet, and now she instructs the maid to deliberately push the waiter in an attempt to scald Li'er with hot soup? Isn't that the case?" Murong Xue's words were sonorous and powerful, and the domineering aura contained in them made many women present envious.

Facing Murong Xue's questioning, Wanyan Zhu'er's face turned pale in an instant, and she stammered in retort: ​​"You, you, are talking nonsense! I have no grudge against her, why should I target her?" Although she spoke tough, her eyes dodged unconsciously, and she was obviously not confident enough.

"In the battlefield filled with smoke and roaring with killing, you suffered a tragic defeat. However, what is even more worrying is that Li'er's second brother is currently in this life-and-death battle. This leaves you with no way out because you can't afford to lose!"

Murong Xue's words were like a thunderclap in the room. Everyone stared at her in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

"Who are you saying can't afford to lose? It was obviously you who used such despicable, insidious and cunning means on the battlefield..." Wanyan Zhu'er retorted angrily, her pretty face flushed red with anger.

But before she could finish her words, a cold voice interrupted her from behind: "Shut up!" The voice was like a sharp blade in the cold wind, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.

Wanyan Zhuer couldn't help but feel annoyed and impatient after hearing this. It was him again! If her second brother hadn't told her to obey his orders before leaving, with her personality, she would never tolerate someone scolding her like this.
