Xie Xuanji didnt want to inquire about such trivial matters. As long as Mu Mingtang was brought into Qiyang Palace alive, their goal would have been achieved. As for what Mu Mingtang does after, the emperor didnt care much about this.

Mu Mingtang only asked someone to head out of the manor to buy some nuts, its not a big deal. If it werent for the imperial housekeeper who presented something to Xie Xuanji, Xie Xuanji wouldnt have come to see Mu Mingtang today.

He saw that Mu Mingtang was still confused, so he resisted his discomfort, took out something from his sleeve, and stretched out his hand in front of Mu Mingtang: Then whats with this?

Mu Mingtang lowered her gaze and glanced. It was the jade hair pin that Mingtang used as a bribe. Sure enough, the guard pawned the hair pin.

Mu Mingtang couldnt directly stuff silver money to the guard, so she could only use jewelry to bribe the guards. She didnt like these elegant and simple jewels anyway. Wouldnt it be just nice to give it out as a favor, so she wouldnt have to unwillingly give away her shiny gold hair pins.

This style was what Jiang Mingwei preferred. Jiangs dowry naturally followed Jiang Mingweis preferences, so Mu Mingtang also had plenty of simple and elegant jewels. Mu Mingtang withdrew her gaze after only a glance, and said, Yes, its mine. Its my choice on how I use my dowry. Prince Jin, do you even need to involve yourself in this?

Xie Xuanji held back his anger and said, Even if youre angry, you shouldnt trample on your dowry this way. You used to really like this hair pin, but now, in exchange for these snacks, you gave it away so cheaply?

Mu Mingtang was baffled: I dont like it, cant I just sell it for food?

How can you be so stubborn. Xie Xuanji looked at Mu Mingtang, he wanted to say something but he decided not to, his gaze was heavy, After you married him, you were this upset. Its just some snacks, and you sold your dowry for this.

I really dont like it! Mu Mingtang felt wronged. I said I dont like it. If it wasnt for the detailed craftsmanship, I wanted to even throw it away. I have already made the best use of it by exchanging it for something to eat. Besides, you married me to your brother. Arent you clear of why cant I head out?

Xie Xuanji still didnt believe her. He sighed and said, You really are still complaining about me. The Jin Manor is right next to the Qiyang Manor, and you can enter the Jin Manors garden from the small gate on the east side. If you have anything you want, you can come to me .

Mu Mingtangs face sank suddenly, she glanced fixatedly at Xie Xuanji, and suddenly sneered: Wow, what do you mean by this, Prince Jin? Your sweetheart has returned and youre reunited with your past lover. Now you feel that the substitute you abandoned is rather pitiful? Im your sister-in-law, and now your brother is seriously ill in bed, you let me head to the Jin Manor from the small gate at the side, what do you mean by this?

Xie Xuanji seemed to smile, and took a step forward, he suddenly narrowed the distance between the two of them: Do you really think that after that nondescript wedding, youre my sister-in-law now? I was the one in place through the first half of the wedding.

Youre just a substitute. Mu Mingtang immediately wanted to retreat, but she nt couldntescape from Xie Xuanji and almost fell over. Xie Xuanji grabbed Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang found that they got even closer. She panicked. As soon as she stood firm, she threw away Xie Xuanjis hand: You bastard, let me go!

Mu Mingtang thought that in broad daylight, Xie Xuanji dared not do anything. But as she looked up, she found that the door was closed. The spacious hall was left empty, only the two of them were there.

Mu Mingtangs heart felt cold, she hurriedly struggled out of Xie Xuanjis hands, and backed away: Xie Xuanji, Im your sister-in-law, are you just going to disregard our relationship?

Do you really take this marriage seriously? Xie Xuanji smiled lightly, He is unconscious, and he has no power to do anything he wants. If youre with him, what will happen to you? If youre smart, youll know what to do. .

What should she do?

Both Xie Xuanji and Mu Mingtang were shocked. They quickly turned their heads and heard the sound of a heavy object knocking on the edge of the bed in the innermost hall.

Mu Mingtang knew immediately that it was the iron handcuffs on Xie Xuanchens hand. The chain was made of dark steel which was extremely heavy. Only the pair of handcuffs could make such a loud noise.
