Chapter IBMLS Ch.109 Old acquaintance (5)
Mrs. Jiang sighed to herself, she forgave Mu Mingtang for how she treated her just now. Anyway, she won’t be happy for long, so why not just bear with her for a while? Mrs. Jiang smiled kindly and said, “That’s good. You two sisters are all my concerns in life. Now that both of you are married, I’m happy for the both of you. You two were sisters before you two got married, and you’re each other’s sister in law, who happen to live right next to each other, this is really fate. You two should talk to each other more, Ming Wei, although Princess An is younger than you, she is now your sister-in-law. You should treat your elder sister-in-law with respect as if she’s your elderly.”
Although Xie Xuanchen was ranked second, his older brother died when he was seven or eight. Xie Xuanchen was the actual boss in the Xie family. Mu Mingtang, naturally, was worthy to be the elder-sister-in-law.
When Mu Mingtang heard that she should treat her elder sister-in-law with respect, she felt better, but she still needed to be more or less humble and said: “How can that be, I’m still younger than Princess Jin. If Princess Jin treats me as if I was her elderly, I’ll feel embarra.s.sed.”
Jiang Mingwei knew that Mrs. Jiang said these words in hopes that the palace would hear her, and she was already trying to be patient with her, but Mu Mingtang still tried to rub herself on her. Jiang Mingwei cursed in her heart, how shameless can she be, does she really think she’s her mother? Pfft!
Jiang Mingwei was so angry that she almost vomited, and Mrs. Jiang pressed Jiang Mingwei down tightly, she then smiled kindly at Mu Mingtang: “It’s not a big deal, being respectful to one’s elderlies is a must, no matter what the situation was before the marriage, since you two became a family, you must go according to your husband’s seniority. You are Ming Wei’s elder sister-in-law, so she should respect you.”
After that, Mrs. Jiang turned around to look at Jiang Mingwei, she secretly pressured her: “You have to come greet your elder sister-in-law often in the future. If there are any orders from the An Manor, you mustn’t shy away. Okay?”
Jiang Mingwei glanced at Mu Mingtang, she was reluctant to do so. But Mrs. Jiang was her mother. When her mother said something. Jiang Mingwei could only stand up, bowed, and said, “Okay.”
Mrs. Jiang was relieved, she stood up and said, “The main purpose I’m here today is to come visit Prince An and Princess An. Now that I know that Prince An is getting better, and that Princess An is doing well, there is nothing for me to worry about anymore. We’ll leave first then.”
Mu Mingtang stood up with a smile, and said politely: “You two just came, don’t you want to sit longer?”
“No thanks. We shouldn’t disturb Prince An’s recovery, I’ll excuse myself with my daughter first. Princess, please stay, stay here so you can take care of your Royal Highness, you don’t have to send us off.”
Mu Mingtang took two steps forward, she then stopped when she heard her, and nodded confidently, “Okay. Xiang Nanchun, send Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin off for me.”
Xiang Nanchun took a few maids to escort Mrs. Jiang and Mingwei Jiang out. After they left, Mu Mingtang sat back in her seat and was relieved: “They used to look down on me, now they have to bow and greet me. How nice is it to be of a higher rank, how advantageous can t.i.tles be.”
When Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingwei were about to leave, Xie Xuanchen had no intention to get up and send them off. Now as he heard Mu Mingtang’s words, he laughed inexplicably and asked, “Do you care so much about Jiang Mingwei?”
Do you care about Jiang Mingwei or the Xie Xuanji behind Jiang Mingwei?
Xie Xuanchen thought that Mu Mingtang would at least try to explain herself, but Mu Mingtang seemed to be reminded of something, so she turned around and looked at him. Suddenly, she smiled happily and said: “If you didn’t mention this, I nearly forgot. What is the relationship between you and Jiang Mingwei?”
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: “Are you questioning me?”
He was still waiting for Mu Mingtang’s explanation, but Mu Mingtang actually questioned him in return, with a tone as if he was caught cheating on her?
Who was the one here caught cheating?
“She looked right at you as soon as she walked in, and she was reluctant to move her gaze away. Upon looking at her gaze, there were hints of sadness and joy in it, as if she had much to talk to you about but she suppressed the urge to, she’s clearly your old lover!” Mu Mingtang said agitatedly, she was about to roll up her sleeves and slam the table, “No wonder when you heard that Jiang Mingwei was here, you immediately said that you wanted to come in person. Did you come to meet your old acquaintance?”
