Chapter IBMLS Ch.57 Invitation (3)
Xie Xuanji got used to it, he didn’t expect something like this to happen today.
It was actually Mu Mingtang that had no servants to serve her around that was to blame. If there was a palace maid outside, how could such an embarra.s.sing moment happen. Xie Xuanji asked, “Where is your servant? Why is no one serving you?”
“They didn’t dare to come in, you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink, so why force them.”
Mu Mingtang said casually, but Xie Xuanji noticed a deeper meaning to it. He looked around and said, “Second sister-in-law, is it convenient for me to come in now?”
“Inconvenient.”
Xie Xuanji was stuck and he had to say: “I haven’t seen my second brother in such a long time, so I’ve come to visit him. I also have something to talk to you about.”
“Then we can talk here.” Mu Mingtang raised her eyebrows as she said, “Why, it’s not convenient for the outsiders to overhear?”
Now even the guards on both sides felt awkward upon hearing her, Xie Xuanji held back his breath and glanced around him. The chief guard understood what he meant by this, and led everyone away.
With no other people around, Xie Xuanji finally endured enough of her and said: “Don’t go too far with yourself, I’ve put up with you once. It doesn’t mean that I’ll put up with your nonsense again and again.”
Mu Mingtang smiled, and she opened the door completely as she looked up at Xie Xuanji for a moment: “I’m your sister-in-law, how dare you treat me this way?”
How arrogant, Xie Xuanji was very angry, but since the guards were watching them from a distance, in the end, he held back. He took out an exquisite looking red invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Mingtang: “Ming Wei and I are getting married soon. Ming Wei thought that since you two know each other, she wanted to invite you to our wedding.”
Mu Mingtang looked down at the invitation card. The invitation card looked very expensive. The surface of the card was of an elegant red colour, and the words and patterns were stamped with gold powder. Mu Mingtang looked intently, and the small seal on it seemed to say “We’ll grow old together, our hearts will forever be connected with each other.”
Mu Mingtang was really embarra.s.sed to see this situation envelop. Her former fiance sent her an invitation card on his marriage with Bai Yueguang and he even invited her to attend their wedding.
It was even the bride’s idea.
How great. Mu Mingtang smiled naturally, she accepted the invitation card, and said, “I’ve taken note of it. When the day comes, your brother and I will be there on time. Although your brother is still unconscious, with such big news about his brother getting married, he won’t be there in person, but he’ll bring a gift over for sure.”
Xie Xuanji found that when he and Mu Mingtang had an unpleasant talk, Mu Mingtang always had the ability to make him angry with just two sentences.
Xie Xuanji was too lazy to be polite with Mu Mingtang. He glanced inside and asked, “How has my second brother been doing these few days?”
Mu Mingtang said without blinking: “He’s still the same, ever since he vomited blood that day, he never woke up again after.”
Xie Xuanji nodded, he raised his leg to walk in. He was Prince Jin after all, he wanted to see Xie Xuanchen, Mu Mingtang naturally couldn’t find an excuse to refuse him. But this time she knew what to do, never close the door, just leave the door wide open.
