I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Ch.189 Siskin (1)

Summon the post-mortem examiner?

Many people choked up when they heard her say this, and some even quietly looked back at Xie Xuanji. Xie Xuanji did not say a word, his expression solemn, and the servants didn’t dare to even move.

When Mu Mingtang was done, no one moved. She felt slightly angry, and was about to question Xie Xuanji, just then, Xie Xuanchen, who was beside her, said softly: "What’s the matter, does no one listen to my commands now?"

After Xie Xuanchen spoke, the atmosphere was obviously different from before. Everyone's expressions changed, and even Xie Xuanji tensed up unconsciously: "Second brother…..."

"So you know I’m your second brother, just do what she says. If you ignore her, it means you’re ignoring me." Xie Xuanchen lowered his head and coughed after he said that. His cough was soft and long, which gave off a weak impression, but everyone present did not dare to treat him as an ill patient.

Don't be fooled by Xie Xuanchen’s thin and weak look, even when ill, he could break a strong man's neck with much ease. Xie Xuanchen coughed in a low voice, and the people around didn't dare to move or make a sound, as they silently waited.

Mu Mingtang held Xie Xuanchen's arm to support him, gently patted his back to smoothen his breath. His lips were stained with an abnormal blush, and even the corners of his eyes were faintly red due to the cough, the tears in the corners of his eyes looked both gorgeous yet scary.

Mu Mingtang did not shy away in front of everyone, she asked softly: "Do you feel better?"

Xie Xuanchen shook his head and signaled that he was okay. He finally stopped coughing, his face was pale, his lips were red, and there was a hint of redness at the corner of his eyes. This color looked quite bright on a man, but when Xie Xuanchen looked at each and everyone of them, no one dared look up directly at him: "Did you not hear what she just said?

When Mu Mingtang spoke, everyone was merely watching. If Xie Xuanji didn't nod his head, no one would act. However, at this moment, as Xie Xuanchen spoke, the maids didn't even dare to look up at Xie Xuanji, and after a quick bow, they turned and left.

Mu Mingtang vented out the anger in her heart, she raised her eyebrows at Xie Xuanji and snorted triumphantly.

Although Mu Mingtang wasn’t being loud, the scene was rather quiet at the moment and everyone heard Mu Mingtang's provocation against Prince Jin, along with a slight contempt.

The people around gasped as if they were having a toothache, stepped back quietly, in fear of hearing any more of the royal family’s inside stories.

The status of the An and Jin manor was pretty tricky. One was the son of the first emperor and the other was the son of the present emperor. It didn’t matter whether the two princes were really getting along or just faking it, but no outsider could ever intrude.

After Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen’s arrival, Jiang Mingwei was put in a pretty awkward spot. She didn't want to see the dead that would bring her bad luck, but Mu Mingtang insisted on looking at the corpse, and Xie Xuanji accompanied them to the front. Now the three of them were gathered in front as they engaged in a conversation with each other, and Jiang Mingwei was left behind, as if she was excluded.

Jiang Mingwei gritted her teeth and walked over. When she got near, a few servants happened to exit. Jiang Mingwei glanced back and stepped forward as she asked: "My lord, second brother, second sister-in-law, why are those people heading out?"

Mu Mingtang didn't want to answer Jiang Mingwei’s question, and Xie Xuanchen didn't plan to say anything. Even when his father asked him questions back in the day, he often turned a cold shoulder, why did he have to reply to anyone else?

As for Xie Xuanji, it was even more simple. He was her husband in their personal life, and a prince to the public. Only the people who served him had to provide him with a summary report. Why would Xie Xuanji explain the current situation to Jiang Mingwei? Xie Xuanji also turned a cold shoulder as expected, and did not answer.
