Chapter 166: A ferocious tiger (4)
Xie Xuanji stood at the left hand seat, glancing down at how Mu Mingtang was trying to rush closer without any hint of hesitation, but was stopped by the armor again. He knew that Xie Xuanchen was in an extremely dangerous state now, and that time was precious, but Xie Xuanji still couldn't help but watch for a while. Mu Mingtang came from outside, that is to say, Xie Xuanchen sent her away with some made up excuse?
She was frantically trying to run inside, does she want to return to Xie Xuanchen’s side?
Xie Xuanji watched for a while, and said coldly: "Concubine An is frightened, someone please send her away. Prince An has gone manic and has hurt others. I’ll have to control Prince An, second sister-in-law, please don't interfere with such official affairs."
When Mu Mingtang heard his familiar voice and tone, she looked up, the sharpness in her gaze felt almost substantial: "He didn't hurt anyone at all, and he isn’t manic. You are trying to stop me now, do you want to take the opportunity to kill him? "
Xie Xuanji might be thinking so, but he could never admit to it. His face darkened as he said: "Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, be calm."
"I'm very calm now." Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanji coldly, "The man inside is my husband. Whether he is alive or dead, I will be by his side. Get out of my way!"
Xie Xuanji felt a sting in his heart when he heard these words. She called Xie Xuanchen "husband" so firmly, as if they had been married for years, and she believed in her husband deeply and loved him dearly. However, she only knew Xie Xuanchen for a few months.
When Mu Mingtang first looked at Xie Xuanji, she also showed such a gentle and firm gaze. Xie Xuanji thought that it belonged to him alone. For this reason, Xie Xuanji firmly believed that Mu Mingtang really liked him, that’s why he didn’t need to waste his energy to maintain this relationship. That’s also why he didn't even have second thoughts and dumped Mu Mingtang, then remarried Jiang Mingwei.
If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, Xie Xuanji wanted to laugh sarcastically. Mu Mingtang was so devoted to him before, was it just because of the marriage contract? Now, her husband was someone else, and her love also changed along with that.
This kind of recognition was by no means a pleasant thing for a man, Xie Xuanji inexplicably felt that Mu Mingtang was cheating on him. He also knew that this thought was ridiculous, but this ridiculousness was nowhere near compared to the anger in his heart. Xie Xuanji didn't control himself and deliberately stabbed Mu Mingtang with his words: "Second sister-in-law, I can understand your grief, but the second brother has gone mad. You have to accept this reality."
Xie Xuanchen was just a murderer and a lunatic. For a person like him, was he worthy to be loved and worshipped so wholeheartedly by Mu Mingtang?
"He's not crazy, and he won't go crazy." Mu Mingtang's eyes were bright, it made it inexplicably hard to look her right in the eyes. "We were still talking just now. He had a clear speech and train of thought. How could he be a lunatic? He promised me many things, he would not just leave this irresponsibly."
After Mu Mingtang finished, her pair of surprisingly bright eyes swept over the surrounding soldiers: "He fought so hard for the Great Yejiang Mountains, battling from the north to the south, he gave it his all and fell sick because of it. Now the hero hasn’t even died, are you guys going to treat him this way?"
From the start, the soldiers didn’t really dare to stop Mu Mingtang, after they heard Mu Mingtang's words, they shrunk even more. Mu Mingtang walked through the swords and spears that resembled the trees in the forest without saying a word, and when she walked to Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji, Jiang Mingwei wanted to show off her mother-of-the-country demeanor, she stretched out her hand and said: "Sister-in-law, my husband is doing this for your own good. We’ll only create more chaos if we head in. Why don’t you just wait here. If you’re feeling unwell, why not head to my place for a cup of tea?
Mu Mingtang’s wrist was grasped by someone. She felt disgusted by the force, and without even looking back, she said coldly: "Get lost."
Jiang Mingwei felt that her words were sweet, poised and understanding, she was an ideal wife, but when she heard Mu Mingtang's reply, Jiang Mingwei was taken aback.
