The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 211 Murong Xue's Inner World

Murong Xue took the post and gently unfolded it to read. After a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised up, as if she was smiling, but then she shook her head.

"She must be bored at home, right?" Murong Xue frowned and muttered to herself thoughtfully. She knew all about the attack on the Jiang family last time! Therefore, she couldn't help but guess that Jiang Li, who was lively and active, must have been tortured by the day-to-day life at home, and she must have been unable to stay at home!

"That's right!" Jiang Bu nodded and responded with a wry smile, "This girl is clamoring to go out every day. But now the Jin delegation has not left Beijing yet and the situation is still unclear. My mother is worried about her safety, so she just keeps her at home!" As he spoke, Jiang Bu couldn't help but chuckle.

Murong Xue heard the laughter and suddenly turned around, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Jiang Bu always had a smiling face on his face. No matter who he was facing or what he was doing, he could always keep that perfect smile. In front of everyone, Jiang Bu always gave people the impression of a wise businessman, showing his signature smile to everyone he met. However, a genuine smile like this one, which came from the heart and was not concealed, was extremely rare. Murong Xue couldn't help but feel a little more curious and inquisitive about the man in front of her.

Jiang Bu was keenly aware of Murong Xue's gaze. At that moment, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if a little deer was running wildly in his heart. Ah, Xue finally noticed him! Although Murong Xue's gaze only stayed on him for a few seconds, for Jiang Bu, it was as warm and joyful as bathing in the warm spring sun, enough to make him overjoyed and ecstatic.

"Axue, do you have anything else to say? Li'er is waiting for you!" Jiang Bu said this seemingly casually, but behind it was a deep expectation and desire. In fact, the subtext of this sentence is clearly: Axue, are you willing to come to my house to play?

Murong Xue frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Ever since she met him, his passionate and undisguised emotions had been revealed. Murong Xue actually knew about this affection, but she had never responded. It wasn't that she was pretending to be noble or heartless, but she really didn't know how to face and deal with such a sudden deep friendship.

Murong Xue grew up in a military camp, surrounded by a group of iron-blooded men. What she saw, heard, and learned every day were closely related to marching, fighting, and defending the country. In such an environment, she developed a resolute, courageous, and generous character, and at the same time, she was less shy and gentle than ordinary women.

She knew that most men in this world hoped that the woman they loved would be gentle and virtuous and stay at home. However, how many men could really accept a woman like her who was hanging out with a group of men all day and going out in the wind and rain? Thinking of this, Murong Xue couldn't help but sigh softly, with a little confusion and helplessness in her eyes.

Murong Xue thought of this, slowly lowered her head, and looked away from that person, never daring to look him in the eye again. Her heart was full of entanglement and confusion. If one day she really joined hands with him, would she have to give up the military camp she loved most? From then on, she could only live in the backyard, taking care of her husband and children all day long, and living a dull life. Just imagining such a scene, her heart couldn't help but tremble, as if she saw a future of losing freedom and losing herself.

No! This is definitely not the life path she expected. Over the years, she entered the Northwest Army with the noble status of her adoptive mother, the Grand Princess, and several princes in the court were eyeing her covetously. Especially the 100,000-man Northwest Army behind her, which made the princes salivate. Even the Grand Princess once revealed to her that the second prince's mother had privately inquired about her marriage, but was politely rejected by the Grand Princess on the grounds that she was too late to return. However, facing such a complicated situation, Murong Xue knew that once it came to marriage, it would inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable storms. And she was unwilling to give up the military camp full of blood and sweat, which was her real world.

Her current identity and status are quite delicate and sensitive. As a famous general of the Northwest Army, she is always on guard to see if anyone will take advantage of the opportunity to plot against her. In the past, she never took such matters to heart, but in the current situation, she must try her best to avoid any connection or association with those ministers in the court who have already clearly stood on their side. The reason why she has dealings with the Jiang family is just because of Li'er. The innocent, lively and lovely little girl really makes her envious, envious of her being able to live such a carefree life. Of course, there is another reason, which is the man standing in front of her.

In fact, she seemed to have feelings for him, but she had many concerns in her heart and had not dared to express her feelings. After careful consideration, she found that it was not completely impossible for them to be together. After all, Jiang Bu had always stayed away from court disputes, and the Jiang and Xie families were loyal to the monarch. However, whenever she thought of the Xie family army guarding the southern border and the heroic performance of the two sons of the Jiang family on the battlefield in the northern border, she could not help but feel a little bit of retreat in her heart.

If the two of them could really get together in the future, and she still held on to the Northwest Army, then the forces controlled by the Jiang Family and the Xie Family would be close to the total of the entire Great Shang Kingdom. Whenever she thought of this and the current emperor, she would involuntarily feel an uncontrollable irritability in her heart.

Deep in her heart, she actually harbored a trace of resentment towards that high and mighty person. She often wondered in her heart: What kind of fault had I committed to deserve such treatment? She couldn't figure it out, and couldn't understand why fate always played such a trick on her.
