The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 135 Cousin Cousin

Su Xiluo and Lin Yuqing quickly left the peach forest, and Liu Jiaojiao followed them closely. However, when they arrived at the front yard, Su Xiluo and Lin Yuqing said goodbye to Liu Jiaojiao and turned away.

Liu Jiaojiao stayed alone in Huangjue Temple. She silently watched the carriage going farther and farther away, then slowly turned her head and looked back in the direction of the back mountain. At this moment, she deeply felt the coldness of the world and understood the warmth and coldness of human feelings. She realized that in this world, no one could really help her. Her aunt was no longer reliable, and her father was a profit-seeking, selfish person.

"Cousin!" A voice called out. Liu Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice. She was puzzled: How could he be here? She clearly remembered that her aunt had sent her cousin back to her hometown!

Jin Cheng walked towards her with a smile on his face. Liu Jiaojiao's heart tightened, and she looked around quickly, looking for a way to escape. She found a dense forest on the left, and ran towards it without hesitation. Seeing this, Jin Cheng hurriedly chased after her.

"Cousin, wait for me!" Jin Cheng shouted as he chased after her. His shouts attracted the attention of many pilgrims who came to burn incense, and they all cast curious glances at him.

At this time, Xie Lan and her daughter were walking out of the peach forest and came to the backyard. Jiang Li also noticed that a man in a blue robe was following a woman in white, chasing towards the forest. The figure of the woman in white looked quite familiar.

"How can this person be so rude and shout here? How can this be disrespectful?" A noble lady said to the two people with a look of disgust in her eyes. Others also looked at them with contempt.

"Pomegranate, I just dropped something in the peach forest. Please help me find it. We'll be sitting on the stone bench in front and waiting for you." Jiang Li glanced at Pomegranate and gently raised his chin towards the forest.

Shi Liu nodded and said, "Madam and Miss, please wait here for a moment. I will go to look for the lost items right away." After that, she turned and left, walking towards the peach forest.

Jiang Li and Xie Lan sat on the stone bench, quietly waiting for Shi Liu to return. The people around them still looked down on the two noisy people, but they seemed exceptionally calm.

After a while, Shi Liu returned to the stone bench with a small sachet. She handed the sachet to Jiang Li and said, "Miss, I found it."

Jiang Li took the sachet, nodded with a smile, then looked at Xie Lan and said, "Mom, let's go. It's getting late. Let's go back."

So the three of them stood up together, left the stone bench, and got on the carriage back home.

Just now, Liu Jiaojiao stood still in the woods, turned around, and looked directly at Jincheng, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in her eyes. She asked softly, "Cousin, why are you here?" There was some confusion in her voice.

Jin Cheng smiled slightly, with a nonchalant look on his face. He replied casually, "Cousin, I was really bored at the farm, so I often come here to play." His tone was relaxed, as if it was just a normal thing.

However, Jincheng did not seem satisfied with this. He continued, "Cousin, can you talk to my uncle and let me go back home? There is nothing here except a temple." His eyes revealed dissatisfaction and helplessness with the current situation, and it was obvious that he did not have much good feelings for this place.

Liu Jiaojiao listened to Jin Cheng's words and suddenly realized something. It turned out that her aunt had not really sent Jin Cheng away, but had hidden him in a nearby farm. This discovery made her sigh at her aunt's courage to openly disobey her father's orders.

She wondered if her father knew about this. If he knew that her aunt was so bold, what would he do? Jin Cheng was also lost in thought at this time. He secretly thought about how to leave this boring manor and return to the prosperous and bustling capital.

"Cousin, why are you unhappy? Who made you angry?" Jin Cheng looked at Liu Jiaojiao with a gloomy face and didn't say anything, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make his cousin so unhappy.

"Cousin, did your aunt not send you back home at all?" Liu Jiaojiao was silent for a long time before finally asking. Her eyes revealed a hint of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"Ah... this this..." Jin Cheng was speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect his cousin to suddenly bring up this matter, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He stammered and couldn't speak, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Cousin, please don't tell my uncle about this. Besides, it's been so long, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Jin Cheng tried to persuade Liu Jiaojiao not to tell her father about this, but his tone sounded a little guilty.

"How do you know it's okay? What if something happens?" Liu Jiaojiao wasn't really worried about Jin Cheng's safety, she just didn't want this person who was always causing trouble to mess up her business. She thought to herself that if Jin Cheng really got into trouble, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Jin Cheng looked at Liu Jiaojiao's serious face and couldn't help feeling a little scared. He knew that his cousin was always smart and had a keen insight into things. If she knew the truth, the consequences would be disastrous. So he quickly explained: "I have been very careful and cautious and have not been discovered. Believe me, nothing will happen."

"Cousin, you were standing there with an unhappy look on your face. Who made you angry? Was it that Jiang Li? I saw her coming. Do you want me to help you deal with her?" Jin Cheng was also very angry when he saw that woman coming. If it wasn't for Jiang Li, how could he have been sent to this shabby place by his aunt.

"What? You still hate her? It's been a while since the incident with your cousin, don't provoke her again." Liu Jiaojiao mentioned the incident casually and glanced at Jincheng.

"Cousin, don't worry. I'll help you teach her a lesson." Jin Cheng gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Jiang Li alive.

"Cousin, there's nothing between me and her. I was unhappy just now because the sister who came with me left temporarily for something. It has nothing to do with Jiang Li." After Liu Jiaojiao said this, Jin Cheng obviously didn't believe it.

"Cousin, you don't have to say it. I understand, I understand." Jincheng felt that his cousin must be embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Cousin, it's really okay." Liu Jiaojiao knew that Jincheng had misunderstood, but she did not explain it clearly.

Jin Cheng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, cousin. I won't let others bully you."

Liu Jiaojiao looked at Jin Cheng's confident look and smiled secretly. She knew that Jin Cheng was interested in her, but she didn't want to get involved with him too much. After all, the gap between their status was too big.

"Thank you, cousin. But please don't make this matter public to avoid unnecessary trouble." Liu Jiaojiao reminded.

Jin Cheng nodded to show that he understood. Although he was a little unwilling, he didn't want to cause trouble for his cousin.

Afterwards, Liu Jiaojiao gave him some silver bills and left Huangjue Temple.
