The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 214 Leaving in the Future

"Third brother, since Sister Mu has arrived safely, you should hurry up and do your own thing! Don't get in the way here!" Jiang Li turned to look at her third brother, only to see him hesitate and act coyly. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart: Humph, this guy must want to get closer to Sister Mu and talk more! However, she would not let him get his wish. Who told him not to take her out to play on weekdays? This time, she must play a good trick on him! Thinking of this, Jiang Li winked at Jiang Bu mischievously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

"Li'er, Third Brother is not busy today." Jiang Bu said, without moving his feet, as if he had no intention of leaving. He thought to himself that if he left like this today, he might never have the opportunity to get in close contact with Murong Xue again.

"Hey, Third Brother, Sister Mu and I are just chatting about private things between girls. Don't you find it boring for a grown man to stay here? Or... do you actually want to take this opportunity to spend more time with Sister Mu?" Jiang Li blinked and teased mischievously. While speaking, he deliberately cast his eyes towards Murong Xue, only to see that Murong Xue was still calm and composed, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her. However, Jiang Bu was looking at Murong Xue with expectation at this moment, and the eagerness in his eyes was not concealed at all.

For a moment, Murong Xue did not respond to Jiang Bu's fiery gaze. The whole space seemed to freeze in an instant, and the silence made people feel a little flustered. Jiang Li keenly noticed that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and she couldn't help but wonder: What's going on between Sister Mu and Third Brother? Why does it feel like the relationship between them is not as natural and harmonious as before? She glanced back and forth at the two people's faces in confusion, but no matter how carefully she observed, she still couldn't see the reason.

At this time, Murong Xue, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly: "Third Young Master, you should go and take care of your affairs first! I just have something in my heart that I want to talk to Li'er alone." As soon as these words came out, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Bu's head, which made the originally happy Jiang Bu's heart suddenly chilled. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he could only nod helplessly, then turned around and left sadly, his figure gradually disappearing at the door of Xiangya Garden.

Murong Xue stood there quietly, following his back as he walked away until he disappeared. Her heart trembled slightly. At that moment, a trace of heartache and bitterness surged into her heart like a tide. She sighed softly, as if she wanted to exhale all the complicated emotions. However, just a moment later, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind and return to her former tranquility and indifference.

At this moment, a gentle voice broke the silence: "Sister Mu, you don't know how bored I am! Every day I am either doing needlework at home, or being called by my mother to learn housekeeping. Alas..." It turned out to be Jiang Li. She walked quickly with a sad face, holding Murong Xue's sleeve tightly as she walked, complaining all the time.

Murong Xue listened to Jiang Li's complaints with a smile in her eyes. This little girl, even though her daily schedule was packed, was still thinking about going out to play. It was really infuriating and funny.

"Be patient and wait for a few more days. Perhaps we will be able to go out soon. I heard that the Jin envoys are about to leave. As for the incident that happened last time, the Ninth Prince has already started to deal with it. However, according to the information we have at present, it seems to have nothing to do with the Jin envoys." Murong Xue explained to the people beside her slowly with a smile on her face.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Li was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Really? That's great! I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I get a chance to go out and get some fresh air! Oh, by the way, Sister Mu, how did you know all this?" Jiang Li came back to his senses at this time and asked curiously.

Murong Xue smiled lightly and replied, "I went into the palace yesterday, and it happened that the Ninth Uncle was discussing important matters with the Emperor. I stood aside and listened for a while." At this point, Murong Xue couldn't help but recall the scene she saw in the palace yesterday, and she was secretly thinking about something in her heart.

Jiang Li was surprised when she heard this, and thought to herself: Sister Mu was actually present when the emperor and the regent were discussing matters? This was really unexpected! However, despite her curiosity, she still resisted asking. After all, the affairs of the palace were complicated, and the slightest mistake could cause trouble.

At this moment, Murong Xue seemed to suddenly remember something, and changed the subject, saying: "Well, there is one more thing..." But the words stopped abruptly at her lips, as if she didn't know where to start.

Jiang Li couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Murong Xue's hesitation. She raised her lips slightly and chuckled, "Sister Mu, I didn't expect that even you would have times when you don't know what to do. Don't keep me in suspense. What exactly is it that's making you so indecisive?"

Hearing Jiang Li's joking words, Murong Xue's face flushed. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Yesterday I went to the palace to report to the emperor. I have decided to return to the northwest in ten days." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Li.
