I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-415

Winter was extremely cold as the charcoal fire burned weakly in the early morning. It was freezing to the point where the people who were asleep didn’t want to wake up.

Jiang Mingwei was wearing a light blue dress with a squirrel fur-coated neckline. She sat in front of the vanity mirror and had her servant apply her makeup. She looked carefully at the person in the mirror and noticed that she had gained a small amount of weight recently, evident by the way her cheeks no longer seemed sunken. The servants seemed very satisfied, but Jiang Mingwei herself felt that she was too fat and her face looked big. In addition, she didn’t sleep well last night. Hence, her eyes appeared swollen and she looked very lethargic, seemingly unable to exude her usual eye-catching beauty.

Jiang Mingwei had no choice but to let the servant focus on using powder to make her face as fair as possible and highlight her facial features. She examined her makeup before she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Recently, what’s been going on next door?”

Jiang Mingwei was really brooding about this and she would ask about it every other day. The servants participated enthusiastically at first, but after being questioned about it too much, they panicked when they heard Jiang Mingwei’s questions.

They really didn’t know what Jiang Mingwei wanted to hear.

All the servants lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb. The most respectable servant couldn’t do anything else but said tentatively, “I haven’t heard of anything special. Because it was quite cold this winter, many people stayed in their residences for the time being. Even Princess An hadn’t really left the palace in the last couple of months.”

Jiang Mingwei was really dissatisfied after listening to her speak. She didn’t know what she wanted to hear, but in any case, it shouldn’t be Mu Mingtang’s lack of response.

During this period of time, Prince Jin’s Mansion was noisy and bustling with traffic. Jiang Mingwei seldom had the opportunity to gloat about her wealth, so she waited wholeheartedly for the word to reach Mu Mingtang’s ears to make sure that she also experienced feelings of envy and jealousy. However, she secretly noticed that for a month or two, Prince An’s Mansion was as quiet as ever, which led Jiang Mingwei to ask the servants around her for updates. She only heard that Mu Mingtang hadn’t left her residence, going as far as to not leaving it for a long time.

If she didn’t show up for a month, what the hell was she doing next door?

Jiang Mingwei was not satisfied. After a while, she seemed to ask unintentionally, “What about Prince An?”

“Prince An?” The servants looked at each other and said in a low voice, “No one has really spoken of Prince An before, but I think that there shouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary.”

This was even more strange as Jiang Mingwei frowned even more. During this period of time, the Emperor made it clear to support Xie Xuanji. It was understandable that a woman like Jiang Mingwei would be mostly unaware of the politics that occurred, but how could Xie Xuanchen not do anything about it? Or could it be that he just didn’t see the need to panic?

Jiang Mingwei thought about things for a long time, but she didn’t quite understand what the couple next door were doing and why one was more mysterious than the other. During this period of time, the servants had already put on Jiang Mingwei’s makeup. She looked around and was generally satisfied, so she took out some earrings and put them on herself.
