I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 369

Chapter 369

Mu Mingtang’s voice was quick and soft, but Xie Xuanchen still sat upright as if he didn’t hear anything. Even then, she knew that he heard it.
Neither of them continued this topic. After Mu Mingtang stared at Xie Xuanchen down the glass, she immediately asked the maid to remove the drinking utensils. Xie Xuanchen was still cooperating with the little Taoist priest for treatment, so things like wine should not be taken too much.
Seeing that Xie Xuanchen was still unhappy, Mu Mingtang deliberately made him laugh and said, “You are very handsome today. When you spoke just now, I was stunned by your words.”
Xie Xuanchen was expressionless at first, but when he heard Mu Mingtang’s praise, he couldn’t help laughing. He lowered his head before glancing at her and said, “In times of need, Zhong Wuyan is there; in times of peace, Xia Yingchun is present(1). You didn’t approve of my anger a while ago, so your words right now is a bit fake, don’t you think?”
(T/N: Zhong is a reliable person whereas Xia is a cheerful one. This proverb explains that we need someone to rely on in difficult times and someone who can bring joy into our lives. Having a mix of both is essential to our lives)
“I’m serious,” Mu Mingtang said, “These two things have nothing to do with each other. It gets really annoying when you cause trouble unreasonably, but when you didn’t accept offering tributes, you were firm in your beliefs and it was really attractive. At any rate, every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. It’s up to you if you want to believe me or not.”
After Xie Xuanchen was flattered by his wife, he felt at ease both physically and mentally, as if those filthy incidents just now were not important. It was no wonder the male peacock fans its tail when courting a mate since Xie Xuanchen could understand this feeling very well now.
With her words, he felt like he could do anything.
In the second half of the banquet, except for Mu Mingtang, everyone didn’t have the appetite to eat or to do anything much. After the banquet was over, the Emperor and Empress left before everyone else trailed behind one after the other.
Mu Mingtang had been outside all day, which was why she became a bit sleepy as Xie Xuanchen walked her home. When they were walking outside the hall, everyone who saw them from afar moved aside quickly.
Too many things happened today. After this day, everyone looked at Xie Xuanchen differently.
Xie Xuanchen turned a blind eye to them and Mu Mingtang ignored it as well. When they were at the door, they met Ye Luyan, Prime Minister Song and the Beirong party. The Emperor was the ruler of the country, so it was impossible for him to stoop low enough to send a Prince like Ye Luyan out. Therefore, Prime Minister Song and Xie Xuanji have always been in charge of entertaining Ye Luyan and the others.
Prime Minister Song had been around for many years and he was eloquent with words. He was speaking politely to Ye Luyan, who was listening patiently. They were exchanging pleasantries when they saw Xie Xuanchen come out.
Everyone fell silent as the two parties greeted Xie Xuanchen one by one as he nodded casually as a response. After the Beirong people met Xie Xuanchen, everyone’s expressions didn’t seem to be as bright as they were before. Even Ye Luyan barely suppressed his emotions, greeting the Prince casually and immediately leaving.
