The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 223 Murong Xue's Alienation

Jiang Li held Murong Xue's hand tightly and left Jiangnan First Floor in a hurry. Their figures quickly disappeared in the bustling crowd on the street, without even stopping for a moment. In this way, the two of them went straight to Jiang Mansion.

When Jiang Li and Murong Xue entered the Jiang residence, they walked straight to Xiangya Garden and went inside without coming out. The entire Xiangya Garden seemed particularly quiet, as if it was isolated from the world. As for Murong Xue's impending departure, the two people who knew each other tacitly chose to keep silent and just quietly enjoy the time they spent with each other.

However, in another courtyard not far from Xiangya Garden, Jiang Bu spent the whole day as if he had lost his soul. Since bringing Murong Xue to his house, Jiang Bu himself has not left the house. At first, when he heard that Li Er and Murong Xue went out shopping together, he thought to himself: women go shopping to buy some rouge, powder, silk and satin and other girlish items, and it would be inappropriate for him to go with them. So, he stayed in the house and waited for the two to return.

But when he saw the empty carriage slowly driving into the mansion, Jiang Bu couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had clearly heard the servant report that they had purchased a lot of things, and even troubled the secret guards to help move them, so how could there be no trace of them now? Could it be that all these things were placed somewhere else? Thinking of this, Jiang Bu shook his head again and denied this idea. Then, he began to speculate that perhaps those things were bought by Axue, but why did she need so many items? A series of questions lingered in Jiang Bu's mind, leaving him puzzled.

At this moment, he was standing at the gate of the courtyard, his feet seemed to be nailed, hesitating in his heart, should he go to Li'er's courtyard? Thinking back to the time when he met Ah Xue in the morning, her elusive attitude still confused him.

Yuan Bao, who was standing by, looked at his young master like this and couldn't help wondering: What on earth is wrong with the young master? He wanted to go out for a while, but then he turned back. So he couldn't help but ask, "Young master, do you want to go see General Murong?"

Hearing Yuanbao's question, Jiang Bu frowned slightly, turned to look at Yuanbao beside him, and said softly: "Yuanbao, I want to ask you, if there is a person who used to get along well with you, but suddenly becomes very distant, what does this situation mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao scratched his head, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he slowly replied: "Master, the person you are talking about is not General Murong, right? But General Murong has always been like this to you. When has he ever been particularly close to you?"

Yuan Bao's words were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, making Jiang Bu more and more irritated. Could it be that Ah Xue's indulgence and love for him before were just as fleeting as a flower? No, no, no, absolutely impossible! He could clearly feel that Ah Xue's attitude towards him had changed, but why did everything seem to have returned to the original point today? What was the reason behind this?

After careful consideration, Jiang Bu secretly decided to go to Li'er's yard to find out what was going on. Along the way, his heart was always uneasy, as if he was holding a frightened little rabbit, beating non-stop.

Finally, he arrived in front of the courtyard of Xiangya Garden. However, when he stepped into the courtyard, he was slightly stunned by the scene in front of him - he saw Murong Xue holding up her skirt, as if she was ready to leave, while Li'er's face was full of reluctance to leave.

"Sister Mu, can I come to play with you tomorrow?" Jiang Li pouted her pink little lips, blinked her big watery eyes, put on a pitiful and lovable look, and looked at Murong Xue eagerly, hoping to get a positive answer.

Faced with such a lovely request, Murong Xue really couldn't bear to refuse, but she had to deal with something important in the palace tomorrow, and she couldn't spare the time to accompany Li'er. So, she sighed softly and said softly: "Li'er, dear, sister has something very important to do in the palace tomorrow, I'm afraid I really don't have time to accompany you."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's face, which was originally full of expectation, instantly fell, revealing a look of disappointment and regret. But she was sensible and nodded obediently, saying, "Okay, then when Sister Mu is free one day, you must send someone to tell me!"

Murong Xue smiled and nodded, indicating her agreement. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Axue, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for dinner before leaving? I heard that Liweilou has just received a batch of high-quality game, so it's a good time to try it."

Murong Xue turned around upon hearing the voice, and her eyes happened to meet Jiang Bu who was standing at the gate. Instantly, she felt her heart suddenly sink, because before this, she thought she could avoid meeting Jiang Bu before leaving, but she never thought that they would meet in the end.

"No need, I have something important to attend to, so I'll go first. Goodbye, Li'er." Murong Xue opened her red lips and left quickly without even glancing at Jiang Bu. When she passed by Jiang Bu, she only nodded slightly, her movements were elegant but also a little distant.

Murong Xue's graceful figure was seen walking away in a hurry, as if something urgent was chasing her. It was so fast that before Jiang Bu could react, Murong Xue had already disappeared from his sight. Jiang Bu just stood there in a daze, his eyes still fixed on the direction where Murong Xue was going, his heart full of confusion and loss.

"Third brother, Sister Mu has already left." Jiang Li came to Jiang Bu's side without knowing when, and gently pulled his sleeve with her little hand, trying to wake him up from his absent-minded state. Hearing his sister's call, Jiang Bu came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, but his face still couldn't hide the loneliness.

"Li'er, have you noticed that Axue seems to be avoiding me intentionally? Why do I always have a feeling that Axue is gradually drifting away from my life, and the distance between us is becoming farther and farther..." Jiang Bu frowned, his tone revealing deep confusion and worry.

"Third brother, don't be sad here. Please go into the house first. I, your little sister, do have something important to discuss with you." Jiang Li said, and turned to walk into the house. Seeing this, Jiang Bu sighed softly and followed.
