Dont attack me with words, I wont fall in your trap. As far as this matter is concerned, the Jiang family gave you quite some dowry, you should take some gold and silver objects thatll be easy for you to sell into cash. If youre afraid that youll get caught selling these items, just take some from the manors storage room. Although Ive been stripped of my power over the years, I do still have quite the savings, itll be able to cover your expenses for the rest of your life.

Why? Mu Mingtang said stubbornly and asked, Weve already gone through the marriage ritual, were a married couple. If I leave, either Ill become a widow after your death and remarry someone, or youll repudiate me. From then on, well have nothing to do with each other. My prince, youre doing fine now, Im not remarrying, then do you want to repudiate me?

If you wish to think of it this way, Im okay with this. Xie Xuanchen said, If you dont fully trust me, then take a copy of our divorce agreement with you, if the imperial court finds out in the future, you can say that I let you remarry. You go to the drawer of the cabinet in the study, get me a pen

Are you not finished yet! Mu Mingtang was fuming with anger, and she stood up with a flick of her sleeves, If you have the strength then you can get the pen yourself, Ill not help you.

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she picked up the food container and went back to her room. Xie Xuanchen sat there for a long time, and he finally confirmed that she was angry at him just now.

Not many people had dared to throw a tantrum at him before. He had always been the big boss in the family since he was a child. His dads stick couldnt even control him, the emperor didnt expect him to become more obedient. But just now, Mu Mingtang threw a tantrum at him?

Xie Xuanchen was very shocked, and he still couldnt take it in after a long period of time.

After a while, Mu Mingtang finished her meal and placed the food box outside the door. The chief guard as usual checked up on her, and Mu Mingtang glared at him.

The chief guard was suddenly glared at, whats wrong? He didnt even do anything?

After Mu Mingtang came back, she walked straight into her room angrily. After a while, she heard what seemed to be a noise outside. She ran out and saw Xie Xuanchen standing as he steadied himself with the bed frame. Mu Mingtang stepped forward to help him, and said in a business-like tone: You cant move around as easily now. If you hit something, itll alert the people outside. Ill help you.

Xie Xuanchen gave a low um. The two of them didnt speak, and walked slowly, they both finally found a way to ease the awkward situation.

Xie Xuanchen always had to walk around after dinner, he walked and stopped as he needed, and Mu Mingtang would help him when he was about done. Mu Mingtang assisted him to sit down, and hurriedly cushioned him with her other hand, her movements were swiftly done in one go.

After Xie Xuanchen sat down, Mu Mingtang sat by the bed, she didnt leave immediately. Instead, she paused for a while and said, My lord, I remember a saying from Zhuangzi, but I forgot the exact words to it. Its around the lines of two people who were looking at fishes on the bridge

Her hints were way too obvious, Xie Xuanchen couldnt take it any longer, and said, Just get straight to the point.
