Chapter 332

Luxury (5)

Death of Xie Xuanchens 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 s.h.i.+. 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 s.h.i.+ with him.

Who would have thought that Xie Xuanchens mother, Madam Yin, would unexpectedly die in Xie Mansion? Although Lu s.h.i.+ was Xie Yis concubine, she survived because she was staying in another place.

Lu s.h.i.+ couldnt become the Empress when Xie Yi ascended the throne because Xie Yi named his deceased wife as the Empress and Lu s.h.i.+ remained a concubine till Xie Yis death. However, when Xie Rui became the Emperor, he named Lu s.h.i.+ as the Empress Dowager.

Although Lu s.h.i.+s background was dishonourable at the beginning, her fate changed and she became the most n.o.ble 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 Xuanchens wife, Mu Mingtang also didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Empress Dowager.

Jiang Mingwei, who had been seated by the Empresss 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 didnt even have to get up early to pay her respect to any in-laws.

Why is this unfair?

Being the Empresss direct daughter-in-law as opposed to Mu Mingtang, who was only the nephews wife, Jiang Mingwei was always under Empresss 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 didnt have to face such a burden as her. So today she felt relieved to see Mu Mingtang being criticised.

The Empress couldnt control Mu Mingtang but the Empress Dowager could. The Empress Dowagers 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 Mingtangs 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.
