Chapter 158: Empty (4)
Jiang Mingwei couldn’t get herself to accept this fact. After, she met Ye Luyan, who was enthusiastic and passionate, he was very different from the men from Central Plains. She fell in love with him, and chose love and freedom.
Later, Jiang Mingwei heard the news about the Ye dynasty. She wanted to slap herself for choosing to run away with her partner back then. When she was reborn in this life, Jiang Mingwei immediately returned to her own country.
She must have been blind in her last life. Obviously, this was where she belonged.
Jiang Mingwei was constantly in fear after her return and only felt relieved after marrying Xie Xuanji. She finally corrected the mistakes that she made in her previous life, and now it was time for her to enjoy it.
Did Jiang Mingwei fall in love with Xie Xuanji before? Obviously no, he was just a suitable candidate to become her husband. After learning about Xie Xuanji’s future achievements, Jiang Mingwei was even motivated to settle down with him. If she was talking about love, Xie Xuanji was nothing compared to Ye Luyan. At least in the beginning, Jiang Mingwei was deeply in love with Ye Luyan.
As for Xie Xuanchen, she had no feelings for him at all. In fact, Jiang Mingwei had little to no contact with Xie Xuanchen, they rarely met with each other. In this case, there was no way for her to develop feelings for Xie Xuanchen.
But, who would have known that Xie Xuanchen would appear in front of her, with his high spirits and blinding radiance. For some people, even if she had seen them for the most of her life, she’ll never have feelings for them; however, there were some, with just a glance, it was enough to blow her away.
However, this amazement won’t last. These attractions and longings were still insufficient to let Jiang Mingwei give up on Xie Xuanji, the future Emperor and lose her whole life to Xie Xuanchen that would only live for a few more days. Jiang Mingwei's heart still raced when she saw Xie Xuanchen, but that was it. Marriage and affection are two totally different things.
Jiang Mingwei sincerely regarded being Princess Jin as her job, not only that, she was determined to become the Empress and even the Empress Dowager in the future. Jiang Mingwei was ambitious, and believed that she had achieved quite a lot. Yet, the Empress’s action was like splashing cold water right at her, it made Jiang Mingwei very upset.
Jiang Mingwei angrily shut herself in the manor. After some time, she soon realised that no one in the manor or even Xie Xuanji had noticed her disappearance.
It hurted Jiang Mingwei even badly, but the pain made her sober. Why would she be jealous of a few maids? This was not her purpose for this life.
Looking at Xie Xuanji's social status, it was normal for him to be surrounded by women. She could stop it now, but she can’t continue on forever. It was better to open up and let Xie Xuanji appreciate her good nature and crave for her presence. She was a person who needed to show her motherly side to the nation, so she should not act like a shrew that would fight with the other concubines.
Jiang Mingwei warned herself to not be petty, so she didn’t stop the maids from climbing onto Xie Xuanji’s bed. In this way, it was like she had released the floodgates, even more demons and monsters emerged. For the first few days, Xie Xuanji still cared about her feelings, but last night, he slept with another woman.
Jiang Mingwei felt suffocated when she heard the news. She realised that no matter how nice she seemed or how open she was. In the end, it does bother her when something like this really happens.
JIang Mingwei had not slept for the whole night, the scene of Xie Xuanji sleeping with another woman kept appearing in her thoughts. It was especially ironic that Xie Xuanji slept with more than one woman that night.
This was simply humiliating her as his wife. That is because they never did it the second time, after their wedding.
Jiang Mingwei was in a bad mood today, and someone just ignorantly mentioned it again. This angered Jiang Mingwei and she couldn’t help but ridicule. The one that couldn’t sleep without man, would naturally be the bitch that seduced Xie Xuanji last night.
