I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-361

The joys and sorrows in this world were not interlinked as most women could not act like Xiao Siyi, making decisions and behaving in a way that they wanted to.

Xiao Siyi felt that this was not so much the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker as it was more of putting a restriction towards love and freedom. Mu Mingtang never had any sort of similar thoughts. Later when Jiang Mingwei returned, she suddenly became a redundant addition into the family. Plus, when Xie Xuanji manipulated her into marrying Xie Xuanchen, she didn’t have any reluctance either.

The Jiang family gifted her with their protection in troubled times. Mu Mingtang recognized this kindness and was willing to repay it in the form of tying the knot with their chosen suitor. When she stepped into the sedan chair, she knew what kind of environment she was about to face and what the rest of her life would be.

She never expected that the moment she lifted the bed curtain, the person who would greet her sights was Xie Xuanchen.

Therefore, Mu Mingtang really had no regrets. Before she got married, she and her husband-in-law had never met, but on the day of the wedding, they discovered that her husband happened to be her benefactor, which was the boy who saved her. He was the person she was willing to spend her whole life with and he was also the person she yearned for when she first fell in love. With such love from God, Mu Mingtang was content and had nothing else to ask for.

As for the two situations Xiao Siyi mentioned, they didn’t exist for Mu Mingtang. After all, her husband was the one that she liked.

After Mu Mingtang said ‘no’, she felt shy. Although her words were vague, judging by her current state, it was as if everything had been said out loud.

Xiao Siyi let out a meaningful ‘oh’ as Mu Mingtang became even more embarrassed. Even whilst blushing, she said, “Lady Xiao, this is in the Forbidden Palace; please be careful of what you say.”

Xiao Siyi laughed out loud as Jiang Mingwei looked at the duo across from her. With one of them laughing wantonly and the other sporting a bright, red blush, she felt inexplicably excluded.

Jiang Mingwei couldn’t help but think of Xiao Siyi’s question just now— does she regret it? Jiang Mingwei thought about her past life and her present life. She didn’t regret the choices she made in this life, but small misses did occur in life.

Jiang Mingwei was suddenly envious of these two people in front of her since both of them had become Empresses in their previous lives. Although they each had wretched concubines trying to size them up at any given time, their positions in the main palace were as stable as the value of gold. What they took for granted was actually the fantasy that many dreamed of for their entire life.

In this life, many of the once anticipated outcomes have obviously changed, but Xiao Siyi could still claim that she would only marry the person she liked and Mu Mingtang still smiled without saying a word. When she thought of that person, her cheeks would still blush and her lips would still curve upwards. From the beginning to the end, the two of them could live happily and freely.

The luckier ones who lived in this world were all the same— presumptuousness had always belonged to the favoured.

Jiang Mingwei and Wan Yanduo were also present, but the two of them did not participate in the topic of this conversation.
