The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 212 Sudden Change

Murong Xue frowned, and her mind went through all the possibilities that she could think of, but every one of them seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and would not work at all. Her heart was heavy, as if it was pressed by a huge rock, and she could only sigh helplessly in the end. "Alas..." This sigh seemed to contain endless loss and frustration.

She shook her head gently, thinking to herself: "Maybe, there is really no other way. Let's just give up!" Although she made this decision, deep in her heart there was still a trace of unwillingness and reluctance, entangled in her heart like a spider silk.

However, when Murong Xue raised her head again, her face regained its calm and composed look. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a faint smile, making it difficult to tell that she had just experienced a fierce inner struggle.

On the other side, Jiang Bu had been staring at Murong Xue from beginning to end. From the moment she first looked at him, a wave of joy surged in his heart. At that moment, he felt as if time had frozen, and the only thing left in the world was the sight of the two of them.

"Axue finally saw me..." Jiang Bu muttered silently in his heart, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

However, Ah Xue's appearance at this moment really made him feel worried, because just now, he clearly noticed that Ah Xue had a good impression of him! But why did Ah Xue's expression suddenly change between looking down and looking up, and it seemed that she had returned to the time when they first met. There was a sense of alienation between the two of them, as if they were strangers.

Jiang Bu's heart became more and more flustered. He involuntarily moved closer to Axue and asked anxiously: "Axue, did I do something wrong? You..." Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Murong Xue.

All he heard was Murong Xue's voice as cold as an ice spring: "Let's go!" These two simple words hit Jiang Bu's heart like a heavy hammer, making him instantly anxious. At this moment, Murong Xue had already walked out of the reception room quickly, and Jiang Bu could only follow closely behind her, carefully.

Along the way, he stared at Murong Xue's face intently, trying to find a clue from her calm expression. But he didn't dare to ask again, for fear that he would accidentally upset Ah Xue again, so he could only follow Murong Xue's footsteps silently, secretly wondering what caused Ah Xue to be like this.

Not long after, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of the Jiang family. When the servant came to report that Murong Xue was visiting, Xie Lan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong. After all, it was Murong Xue's first time to visit the Jiang family. After the servant further explained that it was the young lady's special invitation, Xie Lan suddenly realized it, and secretly speculated in his heart: Li Er must have been bored at home recently, so he invited his friends to come and get together to relieve his boredom.

Xie Lan put her clothes in order and walked quickly to the reception room. When she stepped into the room, she saw Murong Xue sitting upright on a chair, sipping tea elegantly. Xie Lan stared at Murong Xue quietly. Her calm demeanor made people admire her, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed. This seemingly weak woman in front of her, but she joined the military camp at a young age, experienced countless hardships, and now has become a famous general. The hard work, sweat, blood and tears she has paid in this process, I am afraid only she herself knows it best.

Recalling the past encounter with Murong Xue, she was in the palace at that time and was bullied by others. However, unexpectedly, this petite girl showed amazing courage and strength, and knocked down all those who bullied her. From then on, Murong Xue's stubbornness and tenacity were evident. But no one expected that soon after, she would go to the Northwest Army Camp despite everyone's opposition, especially the strong obstruction of her adoptive mother, the Grand Princess. It is said that Murong Xue personally went to the palace to plead with the current emperor, and the emperor finally made an exception and agreed to the little girl's request to go to the battlefield. .

Xie Lan stood there, her thoughts drifting back to many years ago, those long-forgotten past events flooding into her mind like a tide. She was immersed in her memories, and before she knew it, she had stepped into the threshold of the living room.

At this time, Murong Xue heard the footsteps and quickly stood up. She clasped her fists and said, "Hello, Madam!" The voice was clear and pleasant.

Seeing this, Xie Lan hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Murong Xue's hand and said, "Oh, why are you so polite! This is not the first time we meet, why do you need to be so polite." After saying that, he pulled Murong Xue to sit down together.

As soon as Xie Lan sat down, he caught a glimpse of his third son sitting next to him. He lowered his head and looked listless, which was very different from the past. Xie Lan couldn't help but feel very surprised, thinking to himself: What happened to the third son today? Usually, whenever he saw Ah Xue, he would be as happy as if he had eaten honey, but today he was like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.

However, this worry only flashed through Xie Lan's mind. In an instant, she focused all her attention on Murong Xue and asked with concern: "Ah Xue, how are you these days? Are you healthy?" Murong Xue smiled and replied that everything was fine, and told Xie Lan about her recent life. Xie Lan listened to Murong Xue's story with a kind smile on her face. The more she looked at her, the more she liked this well-behaved and sensible child in front of her.

"Mother, Axue is here to look for Li'er! You..." Jiang Bu looked at Axue in front of him, and a trace of worry rose in his heart. He knew very well that Axue was introverted, not good at socializing, and even a little lonely. At this moment, facing his mother's rapid-fire questions, he was really afraid that Axue would feel uncomfortable and thus have a bad impression of his family. So he quickly interrupted his mother.

Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her son after hearing his words. She muttered to herself, "Huh, you little brat, I'm just too happy to see my future daughter-in-law!" However, she also realized that she might be a little too enthusiastic, and then she smiled with a hint of apology on her face.
