The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 190 Sister, Don’t Cry

Mu Jiuchen walked towards him step by step. The obvious panic in Jiang Li's eyes pleased Mu Jiuchen. "Little girl, you also get nervous sometimes."

"Ninth Uncle!" Murong Xue spoke first. Mu Jiuchen glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"Have a good rest now that you are back!" Mu Jiuchen had a good impression of this goddaughter adopted by the imperial sister. After all, she grew up in the northwest and has been stationed in the northwest military camp for so many years, which made many male generals of Dashang admire her. This time, she returned to Beijing, probably because the imperial sister urged her to get married.

Mu Jiuchen turned his head and looked at Jiang Li again, then walked a few steps to her side and sat down, then looked at Jiang Li who was still standing.

"Everyone, sit down!" Murong Xue and Jiang Li looked at each other and quickly sat down. Jiang Bu also came over and sat down, and poured a cup of tea for Mu Jiuchen.

"You have done a good job in Jiangnan. Are you interested in entering the court?" Mu Jiuchen picked up the teacup, took a sip of the clear green tea, then turned his gaze to Jiang Bu and asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I only went to Jiangnan to find my elder brother. As for serving as an official in the court, it is really not within my consideration. Besides, it is enough for my eldest and second brothers to take care of the family. Why do they need me to add icing on the cake?" Jiang Bu answered with a smile on his face. His expression was sincere and honest.

"Oh? It is said that a man should have ambitions to travel the world. Young Master, do you really not want to achieve great things?" Mu Jiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked again.

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. My elder brothers have made great achievements and established careers to support my younger sister. But I just want to earn some money for my younger sister so that she doesn't have to worry about money!" Jiang Bu turned his head to look at Jiang Li beside him, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.

However, at this moment, Jiang Li's heart was filled with an indescribable emotion, her eyes could not help but become moist, and tears slid down her cheeks. In the previous life, the eldest and second brothers supported Mu Yang for her, and the third brother became Mu Yang's money bag. No matter when and where, as long as Mu Yang needed help, the third brother never said no, and always supported him to become the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li's tears became more and more violent, like a flood that broke through the dam, and she couldn't stop it. The three people present all noticed her momentary distraction, followed by sobbing.

"Sister, Third Brother said something wrong, don't cry!" Jiang Bu was so anxious watching her cry. He didn't know what was wrong with what he said just now, but it must be his fault that his sister cried after hearing what he said. He regretted it so much and lowered his head in self-blame.

Even the usually calm Mu Jiuchen felt somewhat resentful towards Jiang Bu. Although he did not know why Jiang Li was crying, he could sense that the sadness and pain deep in her heart must be related to what Jiang Bu said. He frowned and glared at Jiang Bu in dissatisfaction.

Murong Xue quickly wiped Jiang Li's tears and gently comforted her: "Li'er, don't be sad, we are all here with you." At the same time, she gently stroked Jiang Li's back, hoping to make her feel some warmth and comfort.

Jiang Li felt their care and love, and her heart was filled with emotion. She looked at the three nervous people, quickly burst into laughter, and said, "Third brother didn't say anything wrong, Li'er was just touched." She didn't want everyone to worry and feel uneasy because of her, so she tried hard to control her emotions.

When everyone heard her say this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Jiuchen stopped talking about the previous topic and cleverly changed the subject to talk about Jiang Ying. Jiang Li was full of curiosity and couldn't wait to know everything that happened on the battlefield. Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Li's expectant expression and was delighted, so he began to tell the story. He described every detail in detail, and Jiang Li listened with great interest, with admiration in his eyes.

Jiang Bu was also interested in these stories, but when he turned around and saw his sister's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Looking at Axue beside him, she was also deeply attracted by Mu Jiuchen's story, which made Jiang Bu even more uneasy. He immediately realized that this regent was really scheming!

Although Jiang Bu had known for a long time that the Ninth Prince and his sister had a connection, he had never expected that they were so familiar with each other. This made him even more worried. Could it be that the Ninth Prince really intended to marry his sister? Absolutely not! Jiang Bu shook his head repeatedly in his heart. When he returned home, he must discuss this matter with his eldest brother. If there is really no other way, he can only choose a reliable scholar from Daddy's students and betroth him to his younger sister. After all, the Ninth Prince's aura is too strong. If his sister marries him in the future, she will probably suffer a lot of grievances.

However, Mu Jiuchen didn't know that his behavior had already caused dissatisfaction and disgust from his future brother-in-law.

"Here they come, here they come, the Jin Dynasty delegation is here." There was a cheer downstairs.

"What are the Jin envoys doing here?" another citizen asked. They were all ordinary people, and they didn't know much about state affairs, nor did they care.

"Don't you know yet? The Jin Kingdom has repeatedly interfered with the border in the past few years and now it has launched an attack again. This time our regent did not tolerate it, and the other side actually wanted to attack our army with poison. Unexpectedly, our regent returned the favor, and finally the Jin Kingdom suffered the consequences and lost several cities. Finally, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was captured alive. The Jin Kingdom was finally defeated and asked for peace. That's why the Jin Kingdom delegation came to Beijing to pay compensation." The scholar explained eloquently, and the surrounding people applauded.

"Oh! So that's how it is. The Jin Kingdom is so despicable. They have repeatedly invaded our borders. We should teach them a lesson." said a citizen.

"Yes, this time our regent was truly wise and brave. He not only repelled the Jin Kingdom's attack, but also made them suffer a great loss." Another citizen echoed.

"I heard that the Regent is a handsome man. I really hope to see him." A young woman said with a blushing face.

"Haha, don't even think about it. The Regent is not someone that ordinary people can meet." The person next to him joked with a smile.

Everyone was talking about it, full of admiration and curiosity for the regent. At this time, the Jin Kingdom delegation had arrived at the gate of the capital, bringing generous gifts and sincerity to ask for peace with the Shang Dynasty.
