I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 320

Chapter 320

Beauty (4)

One after another, Wanyan Duo’s pride suffered heavy blows, and Ye Luyan was also extremely upset.

Ye Luyan said in a gloomy voice, “Wanyan Duo is the top beauty in Tayan, the pearl of the Beirong Gra.s.sland. Does Prince An intend to disrespect our Beirong and the Tayan tribe by saying this?”

Being disrespectful to the Beirong envoys would be a bad idea right now, as the peace negotiations had not been settled yet.

Jiang Honghao instantly turned to look up, and sure enough, he noticed a little s.h.i.+ft in the Emperor’s expression.

Jiang Honghao stood up and addressed Mu Mingtang while having sweat on his hands, “Princess An, it is your obligation to act in the royal family’s best interest as a rightful royal princess. Your marriage was bestowed by His Majesty. You have lost sight of your duty after being spoiled and pampered by Prince An, and have even betrayed the kindness of His Majesty.”

Although Mu Mingtang and the Jiang family had broken their relations in private, Jiang Honghao was still regarded as Mu Mingtang’s nominal adoptive father in public. When Jiang Honghao spoke to Mu Mingtang, he naturally had an ethical advantage.

Jiang Honghao’s statement immediately made Mu Mingtang want to scold him.

‘How dare you play the father card now? Why did I marry Xie Xuanchen in the first place? Can’t you remember?’

At this point, even bystanders knew that Mu Mingtang was being used as a political p.a.w.n by Jiang Honghao.

Mu Mingtang clenched her teeth in fury, but Jiang Honghao had already played the father card, so even if she was right, she lacked proper justification to refute.

As she was brainstorming to come up with some comeback, Xie Xuanchen gently pressed her hand.

Xie Xuanchen glanced at Jiang Honghao and said in an icy voice, “Speaking of which, I haven’t congratulated Court Official Jiang Honghao yet. Congratulations on being promoted to the deputy envoy. Unfortunately, I was ill ‌and didn’t know about it. What does Princess An has to do with the issue at hand? Also, could it be that, according to your opinion, Princess An and I need to ask for Jiang family’s suggestions to make our decisions?”

Everyone expected Xie Xuanchen to retaliate, and sure enough, shortly after Jiang Honghao spoke ill about his wife, Xie Xuanchen vented out anger for Princess An. No one dared to respond to Xie Xuanchen’s statements as they didn’t want to jump into a pool of murky water.

Jiang Honghao didn’t want to answer either, but he had to because he was the one being addressed. So, he had to bite the bullet and reply, “I won’t dare.”

Xie Xuanchen, who was initially handsome, had a scary expression and gloomy air around him.

He said with chilly eyes, “Know your place and don’t meddle in others matters. The princess and I are on an equal footing, so when you threaten her, you are also threatening me.”

Cold and unwavering, Xie Xuanchen stared at Jiang Honghao without blinking an eye. Although Ye Luyan didn’t understand the grievances between Xie Xuanchen and Mister Jiang, Xie Xuanchen was surely very protective of his princess. And also he finally realised that rumours about Xie Xuanchen were not wrong.

How could the G.o.d of War be a harmless, delicate man? His feelings were not wrong. Xie Xuanchen was indeed not good-tempered. He was only clingy and coquettish towards his princess and no one else. Only Princess An had an honour to enjoy such treatment.
