Hsieh Hyun-chen had a smile in his eyes, and the mole under his eye was highlighted by his smile. However, there was no warmth in his smile. It was like ice. It looked beautiful on the outside, but there was a hidden sharpness underneath. It was as if the ice flower would condense into a cone and pierce the other person's heart in the next moment.
Hsieh Hyun-chen believed that he had a good eye for people. He stared at Mu Mingtang for a while and found that he didn't seem to be faking it. He was a little curious. "You've been engaged to him for at least three or four months, right? He came to you again and again, and even told you about his wedding. Do you really not miss him? "
"No." Mu Mingtang said without hesitation, and even showed an expression of gnashing teeth. "I'm just angry. Everyone thinks that I have deep feelings for him, but he doesn't care about me. Even he thinks so. Nonsense, who doesn't know how to act? I've never liked him from the beginning. "
Mu Mingtang didn't look like he was lying, but Hsieh Hyun-chen was a little skeptical. "Really?"
It wasn't that Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't believe Mu Mingtang, but it was very unlikely. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't like his cousin from Lin 'an since he was a child. He felt that he was a little pretentious, but Xie Yi liked him. Xie Yi was never nice to Hsieh Hyun-chen, but she was full of praise for Xie Xuanji. Xie Yi felt that Xie Xuanji was gentle, filial, patient, meticulous, and had a sense of propriety. On the other hand, Hsieh Hyun-chen was too arrogant.
Because of Xie Yi, Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't have a good impression of Xie Xuanji. However, Xie Xuanji's reputation had always been good. Especially for women, Xie Xuanji was handsome, noble, and gentle. He was very popular with women. Hsieh Hyun-chen spent all his time leading the troops and did not pay attention to these trivial matters. Even he knew that many young ladies regarded Xie Xuanji as their dream lover.
Even ordinary women who had only met Xie Xuanji once or twice were like this, let alone Mu Mingtang, who had been with Xie Xuanji for a year and had even become his fiancée in the end. Did Mu Mingtang really have no feelings for Xie Xuanji?
Hsieh Hyun-chen had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with curiosity. Mu Mingtang recalled what had happened in the past and let out a long sigh. "Which woman hasn't had a dream? In the dream, her fiancé is gentle and noble, and he loves her deeply. If I were Jiang Mingwei, I would also be tempted. "
"But I'm not."
Hsieh Hyun-chen's expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything. Mu Mingtang continued, "He has always treated me as Jiang Mingwei. He has always been picking on me and which part of me is not like her. Which woman would be willing to be someone else's substitute and be picked on like the wrong person? Even my birth characters and hobbies have to be arranged by another woman. Ha, how could I like him? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen thought about it and accepted this reason. He was purely curious and asked, "Since you don't want to be a substitute, why don't you tell him?"
Mu Mingtang shook his head and laughed. "How could I? I was adopted by the Jiang family because I look like Jiang Mingwei. They provided me with luxurious clothing and food, and even hired the best teacher for me. Since I've taken their things, how can I just quit halfway through? I had already thought about it. If acting could help me survive, then it wouldn't be difficult. If he treats me as someone else for the rest of my life, then I will act for the rest of my life. I will act the way he imagines Jiang Mingwei to be. Anyway, I don't care, so there's nothing to be hurt about. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen understood this time. Outsiders thought that Xie Xuanji did not love Mu Mingtang, but in fact, the person acting never took it seriously. If the two of them got married as scheduled, Mu Mingtang would probably be able to fool Xie Xuanji for the rest of his life.
"I understand." Xie Xuanji nodded slowly, then suddenly smiled at Mu Mingtang and said, "It seems that I am the same?"
Mu Mingtang treated Xie Xuanji the way he treated him, so he must have treated him the same way. She only took care of him because she married him and wanted to live a good life.
When Mu Mingtang heard this, he did not even think about it and flatly denied, "No."
Hsieh Hyun-chen raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing him. Mu Mingtang met his eyes and said matter-of-factly, "You are my savior and a hero in my heart. Of course, you are different from others. "
Her eyes were sincere and bright, as if she was saying that the sun rose in the east and set in the west, as if it was natural. Hsieh Hyun-chen was originally wrapped in ice, with a malicious attitude of "she must be lying", deliberately picking on her. But he and Mu Mingtang looked at each other for a moment, and in the end, he was burned by those sparkling eyes.
So stupid. Hsieh Hyun-chen thought, how did her ignorant brain, which could not distinguish good from evil, survive in this chaotic world?

Jiang Mingwei's wedding, former little sisters and handkerchief friends came one after another to send off Jiang Mingwei.
Jiang Mingwei sat in front of the dressing mirror, and the young ladies who came out of Jian 'an Alley sat next to him. They could not help but praise Jiang Mingwei's good looks today.
"You were the best-looking girl in the circle back then. I didn't expect that you would grow up to be even more beautiful than when you were young. No wonder Prince Jin has deep feelings for you and wants to marry no one else but you. "
Jiang Mingwei heard the laughter, and the bronze mirror reflected a carefully dressed face. Jiang Mingwei looked at the face in the mirror. Her face shape was a grand goose egg face. Although her eyebrows were not as lively as when she was young, she was still good-looking. The most important thing was that her skin was young and tight, and her whole person was full of vitality.
Youth was the best beauty. This was something that no amount of rouge and face powder could make up for in the future. Jiang Mingwei was very satisfied with herself. She was in a good mood and accepted all the flattery around her.
The surrounding young ladies felt sour in their hearts when they saw her. In fact, they were in the same circle, so they had more or less heard about what happened last year. At least, it was known that the Jiang family had adopted a second young miss. If Jiang Mingwei did not have an accident, why would Jiang Honghao adopt an adopted daughter?
But what was the use of being sour? Some people were born with capital. Who asked Prince Jin to like her? He could even tolerate running away from the marriage. Jiang Mingwei went out for a stroll, and when she came back, she could still be a princess.
On the other hand, another unlucky person didn't get anything. She was even given to a living dead person in exchange for Jiang Honghao's promotion. However, none of the young ladies were stupid. No one mentioned unpleasant things on such a joyous day. They still said good things about Jiang Mingwei. One of the young ladies, in order to please Jiang Mingwei, deliberately said, "Mingwei, you are really a natural beauty. Sure enough, things like good fortune belong to whoever it belongs to. Even if someone imitates a cat and draws a tiger, they can't learn it."
Everyone knew who these words were referring to. Seeing that Jiang Mingwei's expression did not change, her close friends all agreed, "That's right. A person's future will be the same as their birth. Even if a pheasant enters a phoenix's nest, it can't change the smell of dirt on its body. When I saw her at the birthday banquet, I felt that she was tacky. She was far from Mingwei. She tried to imitate you in every way, but she failed. How can she compare to you? "
Another young lady fanned herself with a handkerchief and covered her nose in disgust, saying, "Isn't that so? An imposter is an imposter. She can't compare to the real thing. She has been learning etiquette for so long, but I heard that she still angered Lord Jiang and Prince Jin. Sure enough, mud can't support a wall. Commoners always have the smell of dirt. "
The other young ladies also showed disdain. At this time, a sharp-faced young lady came closer and said mysteriously, "Have you heard? Today, that person is also coming to attend Mingwei's wedding."
"Oh?" Some people were not well-informed and only knew about this matter now, "She's already married to a living dead person with half her body in the ground. She still has the nerve to show up?"
At this time, Jiang Mingwei said, "I sent someone to invite her. She and I are both members of the imperial clan. Besides, she is my sister. If I don't invite her to my wedding, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. "
"Mingwei, you're too kind-hearted. You still care about her face at this time. No wonder Prince Jin wants you." The surrounding young ladies said, "But she's really pitiful. She's married to a madman. Although her husband is still alive, she's actually a living widow. You and Prince Jin are a match made in heaven. If you invite her to attend your wedding, she might be able to share your happiness. "
The young ladies said pitiful words, but in fact, they were watching a joke. Jiang Mingwei smiled but didn't say anything. After a while, the wedding procession arrived. Jiang Mingwei covered his head with a veil and followed the matron of honor out.
The wedding procession went all the way to Prince Jin's mansion. Everyone was happy and congratulated each other. The liveliness was completely different from Prince Qiyang's wedding a month ago. Everyone clustered around the newlyweds and saluted them. Then, they followed them to the bridal chamber and celebrated the wedding.
After three days of marriage, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, in addition, this was the wedding of Prince Jin and Prime Minister Ji's daughter, so the room was full of influential people. The bridal room was especially lively, with endless laughter.
A daughter-in-law who had always been good at joking teased the newlyweds, and the room burst into laughter. While it was lively, the people outside stopped talking and laughing for some reason. The silence slowly passed into the room. In the end, everyone knew that something was wrong and looked back.
Mu Mingtang, wearing a princess's wedding dress, was standing outside the bridal chamber. When she saw everyone stop, she smiled softly and stepped into the threshold: "Aren't you all talking? Why do you all stop when I come?"
The young ladies who were close to Jiang Mingwei mocked her. Now that they saw Mu Mingtang, they all bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Princess Qiyang."
The people on both sides bowed and retreated, making a path for Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang walked all the way to the innermost part of the room. When Xie Xuanji saw Mu Mingtang, his face didn't look very good, but he still saluted Mu Mingtang politely: "Second sister-in-law."
"Prince Jin is the bridegroom today. I don't dare to accept your salute." Mu Mingtang said modestly, but her body didn't move. She steadily accepted Xie Xuanji's salute. She waited for Xie Xuanji to finish his salute before saying: "I originally wanted to take care of your second brother, so I didn't show up in this kind of young people's event. But I heard that Princess Jin wanted to invite me to your wedding. Sister-in-law just married into the family, so I have to give Sister-in-law face no matter what, so I came. I'm not late, am I? "
"You're not late." Xie Xuanji lowered his eyes in front of Mu Mingtang. He was very well-behaved: "Second sister-in-law, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. My wife and I are very grateful. How can we think that second sister-in-law is late? "
The people behind her also smiled apologetically and said: "Princess Qiyang is joking."
