I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 332

Chapter 332

Luxury (5)
Death of Xie Xuanchen’s mother deeply affected both Xie Xuanchen and Xie Yi. Later, when Xie Yi returned to the capital, he had long decided to never to remarry.
However, after being convinced by others that there must always be a mistress in the mansion to handle family affairs, he remembered he had another woman in another place, his concubine, named Lu Shi. He decided to bring her to the capital.
After that incident, when Xie Yi returned to the capital with his troops, he gave a sum of money to the Lu family and decided not to take Lu Shi with him.
Who would have thought that Xie Xuanchen’s mother, Madam Yin, would unexpectedly die in Xie Mansion? Although Lu Shi was Xie Yi’s concubine, she survived because she was staying in another place.
Lu Shi couldn’t become the Empress when Xie Yi ascended the throne because Xie Yi named his deceased wife as the Empress and Lu Shi remained a concubine till Xie Yi’s death. However, when Xie Rui became the Emperor, he named Lu Shi as the Empress Dowager.
Although Lu Shi’s background was dishonourable at the beginning, her fate changed and she became the most noble and respected woman of the Ye Dynasty. Everyone respected her except Xie Xuanchen. He never considered the face of the Empress Dowager from the beginning to the end.
As Xie Xuanchen’s wife, Mu Mingtang also didn’t have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager.
Jiang Mingwei, who had been seated by the Empress’s side the entire time, felt a sense of overdue pleasure upon hearing what the Empress Dowager said to Mu Mingtang.
As a daughter-in-law, Jiang Mingwei had to listen to her mother-in-law and others, and even had to get up early to pay her respect to her in-laws. However, Mu Mingtang didn’t even have to get up early to pay her respect to any in-laws.
‘Why is this unfair?’
Being the Empress’s direct daughter-in-law as opposed to Mu Mingtang, who was only the nephew’s wife, Jiang Mingwei was always under Empress’s strict scrutiny.
The Empress only cared about her son. Jiang Mingwei understood that, but she was still not happy with her current situation. Moreover, Mu Mingtang didn’t have to face such a burden as her. So today she felt relieved to see Mu Mingtang being criticised.
The Empress couldn’t control Mu Mingtang but the Empress Dowager could. The Empress Dowager’s words just now were clearly reprimanding Mu Mingtang for her extravagance and wastefulness. Therefore, being scolded by the stepmother-in-law in front of so many people would make Mu Mingtang a permanent laughing stock.
Jiang Mingwei looked at Mu Mingtang expectantly, intending to see Mu Mingtang’s humiliation.
Everyone was silent, but their eyes were all on Mu Mingtang. Their expressions held faint expectations, looking forward to seeing a good show unfold.
