Jealousy(1)
Xie Xuanji felt dizzy and embarrassed when he heard Mu Mingtang’s sharp words, so he clenched his fists tightly and took a step forward: “You….”
“Hey, what are you doing?” Mu Mingtang immediately raised her head and stared at him arrogantly, “I’m your sister-in-law. What do you want to do? Be careful, I will tell your brother and your father.”
Xie Xuanji clenched his hands tightly into fists, and the expression on his face was not good.
Mu Mingtang, who mentioned Xie Xuanchen, showed a slight smile, and her eyes became gentle: “But I have one thing to say. I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would not be able to marry Xie Xuanchen. After all, he rescued me back then, I have been looking for him for all these years, but there is no news because he has changed his title. Now I got married to him because of you all. I have never thought I could share his life, and I’m so satisfied. Even if something bad happens, I’ll still stand on Xie Xuanchen’s side.”
Xie Xuanji’s face became more and more gloomy. Previously, he had thought Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were showing off. After all, their engagement was a political show from the very beginning. Mu Mingtang had to give up Xie Xuanji, and her husband was replaced by Xie Xuanchen. So Xie Xuanji thought Mu Mingtang hated him and Jiang Mingwei since then.
But when Mu Mingtang said she would stand on Xie Xuanchen’s side no matter what, trying to make him live longer, Xie Xuanji’s heart ached.
What did Mu Mingtang say now? She is actually willing to marry Xie Xuanchen? Did he save her life before? When and where?
Xie Xuanji thought so, and asked, “What did you say?”
Mu Mingtang laughed and said: “You and the Jiang family know my ancestral home in Xiangyang. After the city was broken, I went north and was adopted by the Jiang family. Then do you know why I went north?”
Xie Xuanji’s eyes changed, he also thought. Mu Mingtang looked at him coldly and said, “When I was in Xiangyang, he was the one who saved me. After that, I followed the direction he left before arriving at Chenliu. You can’t compare with him at all. Please King Jin, in the future, don’t be self-motivated and think that I still like you, the person I really like is your brother.”
“…………….” Xie Xuanji was speechless.
“Why do you think I’m jealous and targeting Jiang Mingwei? I scolded her because she provoked me first. If she didn’t target me first, I would ignore her. Jealous of her? Haha… What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Mingtang said in a sarcastic voice.
After saying those words, Mu Mingtang went forward passing Xie Xuanji while murmuring to herself. What a self-assured man. Thinking too much. I’m jealous of him? Oh, it is better to say that I’m jealous of Xie Xuanchen and Jiang Mingwei.
Xie Xuanji received violent attacks one night one after another. First, he discovered that Jiang Mingwei was not as she showed others, and actually she was not a virtuous person as he thought. Then he learned that the person he regarded as a stand-in had never liked him, and she was in love with his brother who was close to death.
Xie Xuanji thought that was shocking enough, but unexpectedly, when Mu Mingtang was passing him, he heard what Mu Mingtang murmured.
“What do you mean?” Seeing that Mu Mingtang was ignoring Xie Xuanji, he took two steps forward and stopped in front of Mu Mingtang, “What did you mean just now? What happened to Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanchen?”
Mu Mingtang raised her eyebrows, surprised and snorted: “Oh, you don’t know?”
Mu Mingtang saw Xie Xuanji’s face getting darker and darker with her own eyes, she bit her lower lip and said as she was regretful: “So you don’t know. Then it’s all right. When I didn’t say it.”
It seems that Xie Xuanji doesn’t know that Jiang Mingwei was fascinated by Xie Xuanchen, when Xie Xuanchen’s father was the emperor before and before Xie Xuanchen became sick.
After speaking, Mu Mingtang didn’t have time to see Xie Xuanji’s reaction, and ran back to the main hall of the banquet.
