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

Chapter IBMLS Ch.39 Green Hat (3)

Mu Mingtang resisted the urge to scream, her heart almost came to a halt. Xie Xuanchen was looking right at her, with his sharp gaze, and his thin lips were slightly red from the blood stains. He looked both beautiful and fierce, he didn’t look like he was just in a coma.

He glanced out the window, and then at Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang understood, and immediately nodded: “Don’t worry, my lord, I won’t tell them.”

Xie Xuanchen looked at her for a long time, it was like he was trying to evaluate her credibility, and then he slowly let go. As soon as Mu Mingtang was able to move freely, she immediately pulled her wrist back, and she slowly massaged her wrist that was in slight pain.

He was even stronger than a blacksmith. If Mu Mingtang hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, who would believe that this was the strength of a patient who had been in a coma for a long time, a patient who was even too weak to breathe?

Xie Xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang massaging her wrist, then only he remembered that he was way stronger than the ordinary. Not even an adult man could stand his punch, let alone a weak woman.

Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen had been in a coma for a long time, and his physical strength was greatly weakened. Otherwise, Mu Mingtang’s arm would have been snapped into two today.

Xie Xuanchen tried to support himself and sit up. Mu Mingtang noticed his movements and wanted to step forward to help him, but was frightened by Xie Xuanchen’s sudden gaze. Xie Xuanchen wanted to sit upright, but his limbs were confined with the heavy chains, also, he had been in a coma for a long time, so he was very weak, even with several tries, he couldn’t do it.

Mu Mingtang thought to herself, why is he so irritable and sensitive. She watched Xie Xuanchen’s movements, and Mu Mingtang’s heart tightened along with him. She couldn’t bear it anymore and whispered: “Lord, let me help you. There are many people patrolling outside. If you make a sound and attract them, it’ll be the end.”

Xie Xuanchen couldn’t accept that he was so weak that he needed a woman to help him, but he also knew that Mu Mingtang was right. It was because of this that he felt even more uncomfortable.

Mu Mingtang saw that Xie Xuanchen hadn’t refuted her suggestion, so he assumed that he had agreed, and immediately pulled him up against the bedpost, and carefully stuffed a pillow behind his waist. After Mu Mingtang had done all this, she noticed that his expression didn’t look too good. However, since he woke up, he already looked like he was in a bad mood, and Mu Mingtang didn’t care much about this, so she didn’t assume it was because of her.

After Xie Xuanchen sat upright, he started to speak. He looked at Mu Mingtang from top to bottom, and raised his eyebrows slightly: “Who are you?”

Mu Mingtang remembered afterwards that they got engaged without Xiao Xuanchen knowing at all, and they had forcibly gone through the ritual. Mu Mingtang thought from another perspective, if someone occupied her house when she was fast asleep, took her money, and claimed to be her husband, Mu Mingtang would definitely best that person to death.

Moreover, Xie Xuanchen is the son of a high-ranking official. If everything in the Xie family was normal, someone who can be worthy of Xie Xuanchen, would be those elegant daughters of well-known families, who are both talented and polite. But now, Mu Mingtang became the princess consort, she was only the daughter of a merchant who fled.

Mu Mingtang herself too felt that she was shamelessly taking advantage of him.

Mu Mingtang’s tone weakened, she lowered down her head and said, “I’m the adopted daughter of Jiang Honghao, I was bestowed to you as the princess consort a few days ago. Don’t worry, my lord, this is just a makeshift plan. I know my place and I don’t want to be your princess consort. I just wanted to repay you for your kindness. When you recover, I’ll step down and vacate the position as the princess consort. By then, you can look for another woman who would be worthy of this title.”
