Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen. Naturally, she couldnât let him mess around.
Xie Xuanji, Jiang Mingwei and Wan Yanduo were welcomed into the main palace. They sat down and drank a cup of tea, only to notice that the two protagonists were late.
Jiang Mingwei immediately noticed with sharp eyes that the hairpin on Mu Mingtangâs temple was loose.
It was only morning, so the servants would not make such a mistake. Based on the appearance, it looked like this was something she put on temporarily by herself. This made others wonder what on earth went on that needed her to redo her hairpin by herself.ReÌAd lateSt chapters at Only
The bruise was on the side of the wrist, as if she had accidentally bumped into something. Both Jiang Mingwei and Wan Yanduo saw it, reacting either by pursing their lips or raising their eyebrows as they both guessed the reason.
As a Princess, Mu Mingtang wouldnât be tasked to do heavy work, so what else could she knock herself into? Only under some uncontrollable circumstances, such as accidentally bumping into the edge of the bed, would there be bruises in that position.
Both the women were speechless as Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt that the situation was rather ironic. She remembered that when she was newly married, she even came to flaunt in front of Mu Mingtang. At that time, she was full of herself, boasting that she had married the right person and stating that the rest of her life would be filled with prosperity and wealth as she wished. On the other hand, Mu Mingtang would have to stay a widow for the rest of her life, which was extremely pitiful.
Who would have thought that the situation would be reversed in just one year. Mu Mingtang didnât intend to show the marks on her body, but Jiang Mingwei was stabbed in the heart. No one expected that Xie Xuanchen would still be alive, going as far as to resist the poison and returning to the political stage.
