I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Mu Mingtang sighed silently. Why were they so curious about her relations.h.i.+p with Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang felt that these people might be thinking too much as the two of them didn’t have much history in the first place.

Mu Mingtang explained, “I really didn’t know who the Prince was until after I got married. The people who really knew each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts were Prince Jin and Princess Jin.”

How could Mu Mingtang reveal the truth to outsiders? Although it was not a secret as to how she and Xie Xuanchen met, it was not something that could be revealed to outsiders just like that. In fact, what she said just now wasn’t exactly a lie either. Although she had known Xie Xuanchen for a long time, it was indeed on the day of the wedding that she found out that the King of Qiyang was Xie Xuanchen, who was her lifesaver back then.

Xiao Siyi had been waiting eagerly for some stories, but when Mu Mingtang said that Jiang Mingwei was the childhood sweetheart, the smile on Xiao Siyi’s face faded. Finally, she just let out a lukewarm, “Oh”.

Jiang Mingwei’s complexion was also not very good. Xiao Siyi said she was bad luck, but Jiang Mingwei felt that the girl herself was the bad luck. If it weren’t for the fact that she was timid of getting up and leaving, Jiang Mingwei would not want to sit at the same table with Xiao Siyi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt slightly dazed. She glanced at the 4 women present and found that 2 were Empresses(1), 3 were Princesses and 2 were also wives who were doted on.

(T/N: The next paragraph will explain this)

In the previous life, both Mu Mingtang and Xiao Siyi were the official Princesses and were later promoted to the t.i.tle of Empresses. When Jiang Mingwei died, the two of them faced each other, constantly having a knife at each other’s throats. In that life, Jiang Mingwei was Ye Luyan’s favourite concubine and Wanyan Duo was also a powerful consort amongst Mu Mingtang’s subordinates.

However, in this life, many things have changed. Mu Mingtang’s ident.i.ty had been misplaced from Xie Xuanji’s Princess to Xie Xuanchen’s Princess. Jiang Mingwei had also changed from a small concubine who lived under the command of Xiao Siyi to a Princess who controlled the lives of others.

Wanyan Duo, by accident, became Jiang Mingwei’s formidable enemy.

The other 3 women didn’t know their past fate as Jiang Mingwei sighed in her heart for a moment, swallowing all the secrets back into her heart.

Xiao Siyi sighed and said, “Coming here for today, I really dislike the etiquette and the decorum that the women have to follow. ‘Don’t go out the main door and do less from the second door’ and also ‘by the command of the parents and words of the matchmaker'(2). If you only know your husband on the wedding day Who is the son-in-law? What’s the point of getting married? Among so many people, I only find you pleasing to the eye. I thought that you would be different from others. “

(T/N: The first phrase with the door basically conveys that women should leave the house less and make sure to not show their faces in public too much. The second phrase refers to traditional arranged marriage procedures where the parents would arrange the entire thing with the help of a matchmaker)

Jiang Mingwei sat on one side, her face stiffening slightly. Mu Mingtang smiled and did not retort, “Lady Xiao is really temperamental, but it’s unfortunate that my level is not as high as yours. I don’t know anything about a free marriage since we all adhere to our parents’ wishes.”
