Chapter 371
Jiang Mingwei thought it was a bit strange, but Mu Mingtang was still waiting for her to reply, so she didn’t have time to think about it. She said, “That’s right. Second sister-in-law, don’t worry, the Prince has already dealt with several other people and made sure that no words will spread.”
Very good, it’s really Xie Xuanchen. She was still wondering that among those present today, who possessed such skills to leave in an instant without a trace. Plus, how could other men from another country be brave enough to eavesdrop on a conversation between 3 Princesses. It turned out that it was nothing but a family eavesdropper.
Mu Mingtang was so angry that she could laugh, but she smiled and thanked Jiang Mingwei, “Thank you, brother and sister for reminding me. I thank you, Prince Jin, for your quick actions.”
Xie Xuanji looked at Mu Mingtang, then at Xie Xuanchen, guessing that they might have already ruined something between the two. Xie Xuanji felt speechless. After all, Xie Xuanchen was a general who commanded the three armies and led several battles to war, but upon hearing his wife’s private words, he became this much of a naive wimp and had yet to own up to his actions?
Xie Xuanji pretended not to know what was going on, replied with some courteous phrases and watched the couple leave. When the two of them turned around, Xie Xuanji could clearly see Mu Mingtang glaring at Xie Xuanchen.
Xie Xuanji was speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt nostalgic, knowing that these childish and innocent thoughts were too far away from him.
Undoubtedly, although these practices were naive, they were precisely the most sincere actions.
Xie Xuanji fully believed that Mu Mingtang really had no regrets in marrying Xie Xuanchen.
As her ex-fiance, Xie Xuanji didn’t know what to think at this moment.
Xie Xuanji was then lamenting about something, but Xie Xuanchen didn’t have the mood to pay attention. He left as he was already too busy with his own affairs.
Xie Xuanji was originally refreshed and satisfied this afternoon, but he never thought that after that burst of elation, it now morphed and gave way to a wave of sadness.
After returning home and sitting in the bedroom, Xie Xuanchen immediately admitted to his wrongdoings, “Indeed, it was me in the afternoon, but I can explain.”
Xie Xuanchen blinked innocently. He knew he was going to die, but before going to the execution grounds, he believed that there was a chance that he could save himself.
Mu Mingtang laughed angrily when she heard Xie Xuanchen’s words, “Explain? Okay, go ahead and explain then, I’m listening.”
Xie Xuanchen felt he shouldn’t have been too smug because it was precisely in situations like these where joy could easily morph into misfortune. Xie Xuanchen thought before he spoke, “Ye Luyan was not familiar with the place and the Emperor was worried about him wandering around, so he had us accompany him. I couldn’t refuse, which was why we went together. Us ending up in the garden was totally unintentional and eavesdropping on your conversation was even more of a coincidence. Nevertheless, it was too late for us to stop ourselves. If we reveal ourselves in front of you all, I’m afraid it would have embarrassed you, so we planned to leave quietly. When we were leaving, Xie Xuanji stepped on something by accident and Xiao Siyi heard it. By then, we were already in a difficult position; if we were to have been caught at the scene, wouldn’t it be harder to explain ourselves? Hence, we had no choice but to hurriedly escape.”
