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

Chapter 588

Mu Mingtang used all her strength to run to the Xie Residence. When the people in the family saw her, they were surprised and asked, “Young Lady Mu? Why did you come here by yourself?”

Mu Mingtang was panting like crazy, but she didn’t even have time to catch her breath. She immediately grabbed one of the servant’s hands and asked, “Where is Madam Yin?”

“The Madam is in the main hall.”

Mu Mingtang hurried to the main hall. Madam Yin had heard her coming and came out to greet her, “Mingtang? Why are you here? I heard from the servants that you ran here by yourself?”

Mu Mingtang didn’t have time to explain the entire situation to Madam Yin. She pulled her hand and wanted to take her out of the residence, “Madam, I don’t have time to explain, but please come with me first.”

However, it was too late. They had only taken a total of two steps when the sound of armor clanking echoed from outside. The servants who were guarding the courtyard came to report in panic, “Madam, the court had sent their men to surround our house.”

Before Madam Yin had time to ask questions, a rain of arrows suddenly flew in from outside the walls. The people in the Xie Residence were unprepared and dropped down one after another. Madam Yin pulled Mu Mingtang and retreated, already understanding what was going on in her heart.

The Emperor was going to kill them.

A flurry of arrows continued flying downwards as the gates of the Xie Residence were banged onto loudly. Mu Mingtang found that Madam Yin was holding her hand, which was ice cold.

Madam Yin lowered her head and smiled at Mu Mingtang, “It’s okay.”

After that, she calmly found the leader of their guards and said, “Take the best guards in the mansion and rush out from the side to send Mingtang away. No matter what, you must protect Mingtang’s safety.”

“Madam!” Mu Mingtang and the guards shouted together, but Madam Yin was very persistent and pushed the girl away hard, “Go quickly.”

At this time, the gates of the Xie Residence were smashed open. The fully armed imperial guards rushed in from outside the door with sharp blades flashing coldly in their hands. Now, no one had time to leave as the guards drew their swords to fight. Mu Mingtang and Madam Yin kept retreating under the protection of their servants.

Amidst the chaos, the imperial guards rushed to Mu Mingtang when the girl tripped over her skirt and fell to the ground. She wanted to get up immediately, but even the slightest movement caused her ankle to send a torrent of pain through her heart.

She had sprained her foot. Mu Mingtang didn’t have time to react before she saw a cold blade slashing towards her. Mu Mingtang watched the tip of the weapon approaching and it was as if she went back to the time she was 12 in her previous life.

Mu Mingtang’s eyes widened. At the critical moment between life and death, she lost her ability to react and could only wait quietly for the tip of the blade to hit her. Suddenly, another blade stabbed the imperial guard from behind and the blood on his neck gushed out, splashing onto her face.

Mu Mingtang reached out her hand and touched her cheek woodenly, his blood still warm on her skin. At this time, the body of the imperial guard fell to one side, revealing the figure behind him.
