Xie Xuanji’s gaze swayed, he was in a slight daze. Upon hearing Mu Mingtang’s voice, Xie Xuanji quickly snapped out of his daze and said, “How can we do that? I treat my second brother as if he was my real elder brother. Now that he’s sick and you have to take care of him, greeting you is one of the most important things to do for the day. I have to treat you respectfully, also, his father was very kind to me back then, my second brother has also helped me a lot. Sister-in-law, please don’t refuse our greetings.”
Mu Mingtang sighed, okay then, how filial of him. Since she can’t push them away, Mu Mingtang no longer cared. It was them coming to greet Mu Mingtang, Mu Mingtang didn’t have to get up early and walk through the wind, frost, rain and snow, and they’ll be someone to greet her every morning. Why would she even complain?
Mu Mingtang nodded and said: “How kind of you two. Since Prince Jin and Princess Jin insist on doing their filial piety, I shouldn’t stop you two from doing so. But you two came a bit too early today, I was still having my breakfast, that’s why it took a while. Prince Jin and Princess Jin, you won’t think I was slow on purpose right?”
“Of course not.” Xie Xuanji cupped his hand in front of his chest and said, “We didn’t think this through, that’s why we disturbed you from having your meal. Please don’t blame us for that, sister-in-law.”
Mu Mingtang looked at the two people in front of her and smiled kindly: “Clever and obedient juniors, who wouldn’t like the both of you, why would I blame you? If I have a son in the future, I would for sure ask him to learn from Prince Jin, if he was just half as filial as you, I’ll be more than content.”
The expressions on Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei’s faces turned strange. Being compared by a person of the same age as her son, now that wasn’t a very pleasant experience. Xie Xuanji was good at socialising, when he heard of such rude words, he didn’t show any expressions on his face, but Jiang Mingwei wasn’t as good as Xie Xuanji, and at this moment, she was clearly not happy about this.
Jiang Mingwei sneered in her heart, if she has a son in the future, what a joke. Mu Mingtang really doesn’t know her place. She was destined to be a widow for the rest of her life, how dare she think about having children in the future?
Isn’t she afraid of being laughed at.
Jiang Mingwei came to see Mu Mingtang today because she wanted to show off. She finally had sex yesterday and officially turned into a woman rather than a young lady. Although the experience wasn’t as she had expected, Jiang Mingwei felt satisfied with the thought that Mu Mingtang next door would never experience this in her life, and her heart was filled with malicious pity.
So when Jiang Mingwei came to see Mu Mingtang this morning, she purposely wore a revealing bra along with a blue top and a light green robe on the outside. Jiang Mingwei was very satisfied with her outfit, the colors were plain yet elegant, and it reflected how fragile and delicate she was, she was of a much higher class than that rude Mu Mingtang.
Jiang Mingwei’s expression seemed tired and overwhelmed, and she kept changing her posture. Mu Mingtang was refreshed after taking advantage of Xie Xuanji. She turned around and saw that Jiang Mingwei looked tired and restless, she couldn’t help but ask: “Princess Jin, why are you constantly twisting around, do you not feel well?”
Jiang Mingwei’s body stiffened, she didn’t expect that Mu Mingtang, this coward, would ask that directly. She really did want to give off such a vibe, but……this type of a private matter should stay between us women, why did Mu Mingtang have to ask out loud?
Jiang Mingwei’s expression stiffened, she secretly glanced at Xie Xuanji. If Xie Xuanji helped her out now, whatever he said would be enough to shine Jiang Mingwei in a good light. But Xie Xuanji sat there steadily, he wasn’t aware of her intentions, and was even faintly displeased: “How rude of you, we’re getting our sister-in-law, how can you be so impolite?”
Jiang Mingwei’s expression instantly solidified. Mu Mingtang sat at the top and looked curiously over at both of them. She really didn’t understand, but Mu Mingtang suddenly saw the faint red marks on Jiang Mingwei’s neck. Mu Mingtang recalled Jiang Mingwei’s actions just now, it was like she couldn’t sit still, and she immediately understood.
Mu Mingtang’s face flushed red in an instant, she coughed awkwardly, and quickly picked up the tea cup. She finally understood how ignorant and honest her question was, but Mu Mingtang also felt wronged, how would she know that they two did it yesterday. They’ve already been married for seven or eight days. Seeing as her face turned pale and was fidgeting, a normal person would naturally think that she was sick. Who would think of this?
The front hall was immersed in embarrassment. Mu Mingtang really didn’t know how to fix this disaster. Just then, a maid quickly walked in from the side door and bowed to Mu Mingtang as she said: “Princess, the prince is awake.”
