Mrs. Jiang sighed to herself, she forgave Mu Mingtang for how she treated her just now. Anyway, she wonât be happy for long, so why not just bear with her for a while? Mrs. Jiang smiled kindly and said, âThatâs good. You two sisters are all my concerns in life. Now that both of you are married, Iâm happy for the both of you. You two were sisters before you two got married, and youâre each otherâs sister in law, who happen to live right next to each other, this is really fate. You two should talk to each other more, Ming Wei, although Princess An is younger than you, she is now your sister-in-law. You should treat your elder sister-in-law with respect as if sheâs your elderly.â
Although Xie Xuanchen was ranked second, his older brother died when he was seven or eight. Xie Xuanchen was the actual boss in the Xie family. Mu Mingtang, naturally, was worthy to be the elder-sister-in-law.
When Mu Mingtang heard that she should treat her elder sister-in-law with respect, she felt better, but she still needed to be more or less humble and said: âHow can that be, Iâm still younger than Princess Jin. If Princess Jin treats me as if I was her elderly, Iâll feel embarrassed.â
Jiang Mingwei knew that Mrs. Jiang said these words in hopes that the palace would hear her, and she was already trying to be patient with her, but Mu Mingtang still tried to rub herself on her. Jiang Mingwei cursed in her heart, how shameless can she be, does she really think sheâs her mother? Pfft!
Jiang Mingwei was so angry that she almost vomited, and Mrs. Jiang pressed Jiang Mingwei down tightly, she then smiled kindly at Mu Mingtang: âItâs not a big deal, being respectful to oneâs elderlies is a must, no matter what the situation was before the marriage, since you two became a family, you must go according to your husbandâs seniority. You are Ming Weiâs elder sister-in-law, so she should respect you.â
After that, Mrs. Jiang turned around to look at Jiang Mingwei, she secretly pressured her: âYou have to come greet your elder sister-in-law often in the future. If there are any orders from the An Manor, you mustnât shy away. Okay?â
Jiang Mingwei glanced at Mu Mingtang, she was reluctant to do so. But Mrs. Jiang was her mother. When her mother said something. Jiang Mingwei could only stand up, bowed, and said, âOkay.â
Mrs. Jiang was relieved, she stood up and said, âThe main purpose Iâm here today is to come visit Prince An and Princess An. Now that I know that Prince An is getting better, and that Princess An is doing well, there is nothing for me to worry about anymore. Weâll leave first then.â
Mu Mingtang stood up with a smile, and said politely: âYou two just came, donât you want to sit longer?â
âNo thanks. We shouldnât disturb Prince Anâs recovery, Iâll excuse myself with my daughter first. Princess, please stay, stay here so you can take care of your Royal Highness, you donât have to send us off.â
Mu Mingtang took two steps forward, she then stopped when she heard her, and nodded confidently, âOkay. Xiang Nanchun, send Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin off for me.â
Xiang Nanchun took a few maids to escort Mrs. Jiang and Mingwei Jiang out. After they left, Mu Mingtang sat back in her seat and was relieved: âThey used to look down on me, now they have to bow and greet me. How nice is it to be of a higher rank, how advantageous can titles be.â
When Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei were about to leave, Xie Xuanchen had no intention to get up and send them off. Now as he heard Mu Mingtangâs words, he laughed inexplicably and asked, âDo you care so much about Jiang Mingwei?â
Do you care about Jiang Mingwei or the Xie Xuanji behind Jiang Mingwei?
Xie Xuanchen thought that Mu Mingtang would at least try to explain herself, but Mu Mingtang seemed to be reminded of something, so she turned around and looked at him. Suddenly, she smiled happily and said: âIf you didnât mention this, I nearly forgot. What is the relationship between you and Jiang Mingwei?â
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: âAre you questioning me?â
He was still waiting for Mu Mingtangâs explanation, but Mu Mingtang actually questioned him in return, with a tone as if he was caught cheating on her?
Who was the one here caught cheating?
âShe looked right at you as soon as she walked in, and she was reluctant to move her gaze away. Upon looking at her gaze, there were hints of sadness and joy in it, as if she had much to talk to you about but she suppressed the urge to, sheâs clearly your old lover!â Mu Mingtang said agitatedly, she was about to roll up her sleeves and slam the table, âNo wonder when you heard that Jiang Mingwei was here, you immediately said that you wanted to come in person. Did you come to meet your old acquaintance?â
