I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-325

Killing intent (2)

Mu Mingtang felt refreshed after letting out the anger in her heart. The anger, however, once again resurfaced as soon as she entered the mansion and saw Xie Xuanchen putting on an innocent face.

Mu Mingtang said in a sarcastic tone, “Hmph… I never expected the prince’s luck to be so great. Even a faraway princess admires him a lot. It’s really…”

Xie Xuanchen had long expected this situation to happen after they arrived home, so he obediently sat down and replied in a low voice, “Mingtang, don’t be angry. This has nothing to do with me. I really don’t know her at all.”

Mu Mingtang, who was showing an angry expression so far, suddenly grinned and said softly, “Obviously, the prince has nothing to do with this. After all, he can charm plenty of women without doing anything. I recall Wanyan Duo’s statement that the prince is not only a master of the martial arts but also a handsome man. It seems she fell in love with you at first sight.”

‘If only I can pull out that Wanyan woman from Prince Jim’s mansion and beat her up… people like her only know to cause trouble…’ Xie Xuanchen scolded Wanyan Duo harshly in heart before saying, “Do you think she really admires me? No, she actually wants to kill me.”

Mu Mingtang was surprised and completely unprepared for such words. “What exactly do you mean?”

Although there were maids around them, it didn’t hinder the husband and wife’s conversation.

“I know my reputation in the Ye Dynasty is not good, let alone outside the border. She is the daughter of the Tayan tribe’s leader. She has definitely heard about how many foreigners I have killed and how many territories I have destroyed since I was a child. Do you honestly believe that she will fall in love with me at first sight?”

“Oh~ I didn’t think that much…”

But now, after hearing Xie Xuanchen’s words, Mu Mingtang that he may be right. Initially, she actually thought that it was normal for a woman to admire Xie Xuanchen because of his heroic deed. However, if you were to give a careful thought to this, those deeds were not all that heroic for someone whose country had suffered because of him.

Xie Xuanchen was relieved to see that Mu Mingtang had discovered the truth. He believed he had passed this test successfully, so he wouldn’t have to deal with the bedroom separation dilemma once more. After giving it some thought, Mu Mingtang still couldn’t come up with an answer to the question, “If she really meant to kill you, why didn’t she just bite you to death instead of following Xie Xuanji?”

Xie Xuanchen gave a heartfelt smile and asked calmly, “Think about it. Where does Xie Xuanji live?”

Mu Mingtang had an awakening. Xie Xuanji lived next door to their mansion. If Wanyan Duo couldn’t enter their mansion, then getting into Prince Jin’s mansion was obviously the second best choice.

This statement astounded Mu Mingtang. Until it turned out to be a life-and-death plot, she had assumed it to be just another example of the cliched hero-beauty love at first sight.
