The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 203 Su Xiluo's Purpose

That's right, Su Xiluo actually got a chance to be reborn! In her last life, fate played a cruel joke on her. One year later, she died. At that time, she loved him deeply, but there was always an unbridgeable gap in her heart - she felt that her humble status was not worthy of his noble status. So, after all the helplessness and entanglement, she finally chose to marry the son of the Yangzhou prefect. However, who could have expected that this seemingly happy marriage actually hid endless crises. Not long after the marriage, she was inexplicably attacked by an assassin and eventually died.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that allowed her to live again. In this life, Su Xiluo was determined to change her fate. She no longer hesitated, and resolutely left Suzhou early and embarked on the road to Beijing. Along the way, her heart was full of expectations and longings. She kept thinking, if she could get in touch with him earlier, would she be able to break the shackles of her identity and tie the knot with him? The capital was prosperous and bustling, with people coming and going, but Su Xiluo's heart was only tied to one person. With this obsession in her heart, she walked towards him step by step!

"Good!" The emperor's full-throated and satisfied cheering was like a thunderbolt, instantly interrupting Su Xiluo's originally scattered thoughts. She stood up gracefully, bowed to everyone present, and then slowly stepped off the stage with light movements.

At this time, Jiang Li, who was sitting at the side, could not help but nod slightly, expressing his appreciation for Su Xiluo's performance. He thought to himself, "You know what, Su Xiluo is really quite capable. But the strange thing is, why did she keep staring at the Regent from beginning to end? Could it be that her real purpose of coming here to perform this time was... Thinking of this, Jiang Li was shocked, because she suddenly realized that she seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter! And this discovery made her exclaim in her heart: "I have to say, this lady really told the truth this time!"

Jiang Li subconsciously cast his eyes towards Mu Jiuchen who was not far away, only to see that he was smiling with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. During the whole performance, Mu Jiuchen seemed to be smiling all the time. Could it be that he was really so easily attracted by Su Xiluo? Hum......

Next, the stage became a place for the ladies of various families to compete with each other and show their talents. They danced gracefully, as light as colorful butterflies; or played the piano, the melodious music was like the sound of nature; or recited poems and painted, showing their talents. In this lively scene, only Jiang Li had no interest in these performances. She was seen enjoying the food on the table leisurely, as if the hustle and bustle around her had nothing to do with her.

In fact, Jiang Li had no intention of stepping onto this stage to show herself. However, as the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, someone just doesn't want her to have her way.

Only a crisp and somewhat provocative voice was heard: "The noble ladies in Kyoto are really versatile! But I don't know why, I saw this girl from the Jiang family sitting here and was reluctant to go on stage to perform. Could it be that this girl Jiang really adheres to the ancient saying that 'a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent'? Hahaha..." The person who spoke was Wanyan Zhuer, the envoy from the Jin Dynasty.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Jiang family felt nervous and frowned. Especially Jiang Ying, his face suddenly became gloomy, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. The other people present looked at Jiang Li with different expressions, some were curious, some were gloating, and some were worried. For a moment, the whole scene fell into a subtle atmosphere.

In the magnificent palace, everyone had a heated discussion about one thing. Some people were dissatisfied and thought that the Jin Kingdom, as a defeated country, had repeatedly made various unreasonable demands, which was too much! Others, holding a gloating mentality, stood aside and watched the excitement.

Jiang Li gracefully put down the exquisite water cup in her hand, slowly raised her eyes, and looked directly at Wanyan Zhuer opposite her. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a contemptuous smile, and her eyes were full of undisguised sarcasm.

She said in a cold but firm voice: "It is a great gift for a noble woman of our dynasty to allow you, the people from the Kingdom of Jin, to see the true demeanor of a great country. How dare you make such a request? Who gave you such courage and confidence?"

After hearing these words, Wanyan Zhuer was so angry that she trembled all over and her face turned red. She pointed at Jiang Li angrily and shouted: "You are just a minister's daughter, how dare you be so presumptuous and speak wildly in this solemn hall? Your Majesty, do you think your ministers are so bold?"

However, before Emperor Mu Jiurui could respond, Mu Jiuchen, who had been standing silently by the side, could no longer suppress his anger. He took a step forward and shouted angrily, "Isn't she right? Didn't your Jin Kingdom lose the war? If you are not convinced, how about we have another battle to decide the winner?"
