The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 111 Sister Mu Wants to Choose a Husband

Jiang Li looked at his third brother's worthless appearance and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He silently complained in his heart: "Why do I have such a third brother!" Then he quickly covered his face with his hands, seeming to feel a little embarrassed.

Looking at the look in the eyes of the third brother, it was simply telling everyone that he was interested in Murong Xue. Jiang Li couldn't help but wonder, didn't the third brother know that such a look could easily be seen by others?

However, when she turned to look at Murong Xue, she found that she was drinking tea expressionlessly, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Li was a little confused, wondering if Murong Xue had noticed her third brother's thoughts. But no matter what, she still hoped that her third brother could be happy. Besides, he still had her as his sister!

"Sister Mu, can I ask you a question?" Jiang Li looked at Murong Xue nervously. She really wanted to chat with Murong Xue for a while, but she didn't know how to start the topic.

Murong Xue nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask, "Sister Mu, have you been in the northwest all these years? Is it fun there?"

Murong Xue glanced at Jiang Li and said calmly, "Yes, it's always there. It's not fun at all!"

Hearing Murong Xue's answer, Jiang Li's heart sank, and she couldn't help but feel helpless. She thought she could learn more about Murong Xue through this question, but she didn't expect to get such a concise answer.

Murong Xue didn't seem to realize that her answer made Jiang Li a little disappointed. She continued to drink tea with her head down, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.

Jiang Li looked at Murong Xue and sighed secretly. This was the first time she met a quiet person like Sister Mu.

The conversation between the two seemed to be Jiang Li asking questions and Murong Xue answering them. The pattern of question and answer gave Shi Liu and Chun Tao a headache. They didn't know how their young lady persisted. However, Jiang Li also got some information.

Murong Xue was sent to her fiefdom when she was eleven years old, and she never returned to the capital. At the same time, she took on the important task of guarding the northwest. It is puzzling that the current emperor did not know what he was planning to do, and he actually sent a girl who was only eleven years old to guard the northwest. However, Murong Xue lived up to everyone's expectations and guarded the northwest for a full ten years.

During these long years, Murong Xue gradually grew up, from an innocent little girl who knew nothing about the world, to a powerful female general. Her tenacity and wisdom won the admiration and praise of everyone. And the current emperor's trust in her is even more undisguised. This trust is not groundless, but stems from Murong Xue's loyalty and outstanding performance over the years.

For ten years, Murong Xue successfully guarded the northwest border with her courage and perseverance. She not only repelled the invasion of foreign enemies, but also maintained the peace of the local area. Her name became a legend among the people, and everyone knew that there was such a brave and fearless female general guarding them.

Now that Murong Xue is back, since she is already twenty-one years old and still unmarried, the Grand Princess asks the current emperor to choose a suitable person in the court to grant her marriage.

"So Sister Mu wants to choose a husband?" Jiang Li couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm" This answer made Jiang Li feel that whether the person who had to choose her husband was Murong Xue herself was dispensable.

After hearing the last piece of news, Jiang Li instantly felt that her third brother might have some hope. After all, it seemed that Murong Xue's status was not suitable for choosing the legitimate son of those powerful ministers in the court, but the illegitimate son was not worthy of Murong Xue, while her third brother's status was acceptable, as he was the legitimate son of the family and did not hold a position in the court. In this way, the third brother became a very suitable candidate.

After hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly realized that her question was too abrupt. After all, she and Murong Xue had just met, and it seemed inappropriate to ask someone else's personal questions directly. However, she really couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to know more about Murong Xue.

Murong Xue stared at the little girl in front of her quietly, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. This little girl gave her a brand new feeling, and she couldn't help but want to get close to her. She had never had such an experience before. Since she was nine years old, she didn't like to socialize with people, let alone talk to a strange girl like now.

Seeing that Murong Xue did not answer, Jiang Li continued to ask: "Does Sister Mu have a suitable candidate in mind?" As she spoke, she nervously observed Murong Xue's reaction. She didn't know why she had such a strong interest in Murong Xue, but she just couldn't control herself.

Murong Xue looked at Jiang Li and smiled. She said softly, "This is not something I should worry about. Everything is decided by His Majesty. As long as His Majesty grants the marriage, I will naturally obey your orders." After saying that, her eyes turned to the distance again, as if her thoughts had drifted to a distant place.

This was the longest sentence Murong Xue said today, and it was also the most sincere one. If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Princess kept urging her to return to the palace, she wouldn't have wanted to come back at all. She didn't care about marriage, and even felt that it was dispensable.

"Ah??? How can you do this, Sister Mu? This concerns your lifelong happiness, how can you be so careless?" Jiang Li stood up abruptly after hearing Murong Xue's words. Although her experience in her previous life made her a little afraid of getting married, she couldn't help but refute when she saw Murong Xue's attitude towards her marriage.
