I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 355

Chapter 355

Up until now, Empress Dowager Lu didn’t have the bravery to come out of her room and all the other noble ladies were still terrified by Xie Xuanchen’s deadly warning.
He was able to play along with five Beirong strongmen without breaking a sweat, but he remained obedient to Mu Mingtang, not fighting back of refuting her even though he was the one receiving the brunt of the lectures. Just now on the polo field, all eyes were on him as Xie Xuanchen won the game, but the first thing he did was to wave his whip at Mu Mingtang. Facing everyone’s gaze, Mu Mingtang also picked up her skirt and rushed to his side.
The two of them chatted and laughed on the sidelines, bickering freely as the people on the stands were watching them.
Both married and unmarried women all sighed in their hearts, jealousy filling them to the brim.
Forget it, it wasn’t a day or two that the couple expressed their affection for each other; they could get used to it eventually.
As soon as Mu Mingtang walked over, she felt that the eyes of the people looking at her had changed. To be fair, these changes were very slight, but when she was the centre of it, she could immediately feel the difference.
It turned out that although they smiled at her back then, the smiles never reached their eyes and always carried the contemptful gaze that practically screamed ‘just look at her’. But now, their attitudes were completely reversed as they truly recognized Mu Mingtang’s honour from the bottom of their hearts.
Mu Mingtang realised the change, but she didn’t care about it at all. She never cared if no one liked her in the past, so the same could be said even when everyone else merely held nothing but awe and respect for her.
They were just outsiders, so what did their opinions have to do with her?
After Mu Mingtang came in, everyone approached her cautiously. A noble lady laughed and said, “Princess An also comes here to enjoy the flowers?”
“That’s right, I saw the hibiscus blooming well from a distance, so I came over to have a look,” Mu Mingtang saw Jiang Mingwei and smiled, “It turns out that Princess Jin is here, too. Greetings, Princess Jin and Princess Wanyan.”
Jiang Mingwei personally felt that after Mu Mingtang entered the door, the centre of gravity in the palace instantly shifted from herself to Mu Mingtang, Jiang Mingwei’s heart became even more gloomy, but she smiled perfunctorily and greeted the girl with a blessing, “Sister-in-law.”
Wan Yanduo also came to the palace to attend the Dragon Boat Festival today, standing behind Jiang Mingwei. Mu Mingtang’s eyes swept over Wan Yanduo’s coiled hair before she glanced at Jiang Mingwei, giving her a knowing smile.
Although she was a woman, she also felt that Xie Xuanji was very blessed.
There was an unspoken rule that everyone tacitly understood. A woman putting her hair up meant that she was no longer a lady. Therefore, it meant that Wanyan Duo was claimed by Xie Xuanji already.
Jiang Mingwei was terrified by Mu Mingtang’s gaze, feeling both frustrated and angry. Who would want to watch their husband claim their vows on another woman? Jiang Mingwei certainly didn’t approve of it, but what else could she do?
Especially when this troublesome woman wasn’t supposed to be here. After all, it was Xie Xuanchen who ran to Mu Mingtang because Jiang Mingwei rejected him.
But now, Mu Mingtang dared to look at her with this sort of teasing gaze?
