I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 523

Xie Xuanchen shook his head, “She is indeed reasonable, but I’m not. If I don’t see her for myself, I will not rest easy.”

The counsellor wanted to persuade him again, but Xie Xuanchen raised his hand and said, “I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me any more because I’m not going to change my plans.”

Seeing this, the counsellor couldn’t say anything else and could only shut up.

Sure enough, it was rumoured that King Qiyang was obsessed with his woman and would become so comatose that he couldn’t think of anything else. The counsellor originally thought that the court was deliberately smearing King Qiyang’s name, but now it seems that it’s actually…true?

Tsk, people can’t be judged by their appearance.

After Xie Xuanchen decided to go back to pick up Mu Mingtang, he set the fastest marching speed and came to pick up his wife.

At this moment, in the compounds of the Zhending Mansion, the servants were surrounding Mu Mingtang. Even the wind coming from outside the wall was too strong for their liking as they were afraid that they would accidentally bump into the Princess.

Mu Mingtang was very helpless at their fussing, “I’m not that squeamish. I just want to walk around casually; there will be no problem.”

The servants refused and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. In the end, Mu Mingtang decided that she had done enough for today and was about to go back to the house when she suddenly saw a person walking out of the corridor. Said person strode quickly towards Mu Mingtang, as if he was an unsheathed sword in war.

Xie Xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang from a distance and his thoughts overflowed. He strode forward, not even listening to what the people behind him were saying. When he reached Mu Mingtang, he hugged her hard.

As a result, the servants who usually avoided him all pounced on him, “No, Your Highness!”

Xie Xuanchen was startled. He stopped suddenly and looked at the group of bold servants in front of him with a look that could kill, “What are you doing? I’ve only been away for 3 months and the lot of you are no longer afraid of the laws?”

The servants bowed their heads after being scolded. They looked at each other before tacitly deciding to let the Princess be the one to announce the good news. They lowered their heads and were left speechless. Mu Mingtang was amused at the scene as she waved to them while saying, “You all can leave, the Prince and I have some things to talk about.”

The servants hesitated to speak, but they left with their hearts thumping wildly. Xie Xuanchen saw these servants turning back every step they took, some even reluctant to go out, as if they didn’t trust him. Xie Xuanchen was very unhappy with that treatment, so he stepped forward and put his arms around Mu Mingtang’s shoulders. He led her into the house and cursed, “What are they looking at? You are my Princess— do I have to be restrained from touching you?”

Mu Mingtang just raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Let’s head in first, I have something I have to tell you.”

After the two of them entered the room, Xie Xuanchen felt a little restless again when he saw the person he had been thinking of non-stop just sitting across from him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move this time, he was held down by Mu Mingtang, “Don’t move, I have something to tell you.”

“I have something to tell you as well,” Xie Xuanchen looked at her and wondered why she was still being awkward. Experienced, he immediately stopped in front of Mu Mingtang and said, “I know what you are going to say, so listen to me first.”

Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows quietly, “You do?”

“Of course,” Xie Xuanchen said without thinking. He thought he knew very well that Mu Mingtang wanted to bring up the matter of concubinage with him.

Mu Mingtang looked at him quietly and suddenly smiled, “Okay, go ahead then.”
