Madam Mu heard her explanation and said to her angrily yet helplessly, “The capital is different from Xiangyang. There are many rules here and one of them includes that women can’t show their faces. If you like, mother will take you out shopping next time, but since we’re in a carriage, we cannot simply lift the curtains like that.”
Mu Mingtang nodded and agreed obediently. How could she not know about this rule? In her previous life, she knew best how strict the rules of the capital and how complicated the rules for women were.
The Mu family convoy continued to move forward. Mu Mingtang seemed quiet, but in fact, she was trapped deep in turmoil and grief.
It turned out that the saviour she had been secretly looking for for a long time was her husband’s brother.
In her previous life, Mu Mingtang was rescued by someone when her family was annihilated. She didn’t know the name of that person, but she knew that everyone called him the Marquis of Wu’an and that he had an extremely outstanding appearance. Later, Mu Mingtang came to the capital and was adopted by the Jiang family by chance. It was the Jiang family’s servants that she heard about the murderous King Qiyang.
After she got married, she never saw King Qiyang, so naturally there was no way to match him with the face in her memory. The even more tragic detail was the fact that he had passed away the year she got married.
In her previous life, she never saw Xie Xuanchen in her entire life, so naturally she didn’t know that the person she had been looking for all her life was right next to her.
Close at hand, yet far away.
Mu Mingtang realised once again that her previous life was a complete tragedy— she could not get what she wanted and she could not love either.At present time, Mu Mingtang’s parents found that their daughter was depressed after returning from the streets. They initially thought that she was just frightened at the Zhuque Gates. But even after comforting her for several days, the young girl still looked listless.
Mu Mingtang’s parents then worried for a long time. At this time, Madam Yin sent a carriage to take the little one to her house as a guest. Her parents thought it would be good for her to go out and relax, so they thanked Madam Yin and her family for inviting their daughter over.
Madam Yin was very happy to see Mu Mingtang. She started to ask what she liked to eat and what hobbies she had. Mu Mingtang was an adult before all this, so she could tell that the older lady actually enjoyed her company. She also wanted to make more connections in the capital and make plans for the future, so she replied very seriously.
Madam Yin liked Mu Mingtang the more she looked at her. Her only regret was probably not having the chance to have a daughter. They were talking when there was some movement heard from outside the wall. Madam Yin thought of something before she hurried out to see. Sure enough, it was indeed Xie Xuanchen climbing over the wall.
Madam Yin was furious, “Xie Xuanchen, come here!”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t expect that his mother would be sitting in the pavilion today, so unfortunately, he was caught. He didn’t care and jumped down from the wall. Madam Yin saw that he was covered in mud and quickly figured things out, “You went to your father’s military camp secretly again?”
