I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 586

At this time, someone outside the house guessed that something was wrong and shouted, “Young Lady, I just heard a sound in your room. Is something the matter?”

Mu Mingtang replied in a muffled voice, “No, there’s nothing.”

Over the next few days, the classes in Xie’s Residence returned to order, but Mu Mingtang didn’t want to go to class at all. She realized that since Xie Xuanchen was not there, she didn’t want to relive the time she had in school.

Xie Xuanji and his white moonlight could attend lessons by themselves.

Mu Mingtang asked someone to pass on a message to Madam Yin, saying that she would study at home during this period and would not be attending lessons. Madam Yin found out about the news of Xie Xuanchen’s sneaking away at this time. Since she was also in a heavy mood, she didn’t force the girl to do otherwise.

Mu Mingtang spent a peaceful time at home. One day, when she brought her servant out to buy some things, she hadn’t expected to bump into Xie Xuanji.

Though, the latter seemed to be waiting for her. When he saw her head out, he immediately grabbed her and said, “Come with me, something is going to happen in the capital.”

Mu Mingtang was stunned, “What?”

Xie Xuanji looked at her in surprise and then realised, “You don’t know about this?”

Mu Mingtang was even more puzzled, “What is it?”

Xie Xuanji put himself in her shoes and naturally thought that Mu Mingtang had known about the deaths of the Xie and Guo families. Now that he could tell her confusion was genuine, it seemed like she truly didn’t know what was going on.

Which, in a way, was pretty fair. When Mu Mingtang married him in her previous life, Xie Yi had been dead for several years whereas Madam Yin had long disappeared from everyone’s memory. Not many people knew about Xie Xuanchen’s affairs, let alone the massacre of ministers’ families by Emperor Gong during the fifth year of Heping?

Xie Xuanji thought of what happened during this period before his face darkened. His expressions then darkened, “You truly are capable, knowing to cling to the Xie family and Xie Xuanchen. Unfortunately, even if man proposes, God disposes. Xie Xuanchen will not live long and this world will eventually belong to our family. Everything you do now is just a waste of effort.”

Mu Mingtang’s face immediately turned cold when she heard these words, “Xie Xuanji, the Xie family provided you with food and clothing. They even sent you to school and you end up saying this about Madam Yin and General Xie? Xie Xuanchen is your cousin, how can you say this about your brother?”

Xie Xuanji sneered and looked at Mu Mingtang with contempt, “Why? After living with him day and night for this period of time, do you really feel sympathy for him? Forget it, you better remember whose wife you are.”

Mu Mingtang smiled and nodded before she suddenly kicked Xie Xuanji hard. Xie Xuanji was kicked in the family jewels without warning and the pain was immediate. He could no longer hold onto Mu Mingtang, “What are you doing?”

Mu Mingtang looked at him coldly with an indifferent light in her eyes, “What do you have to do with me? Who’s the one who wants to marry you? I was forced to marry you in my last life, which was just a stroke of my bad luck. In this life, you and your sweetheart can fend for yourselves! Even if I never get married in this lifetime, I don’t want to look at you again.”
