Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang's sudden attack could be said to have caught the Jin Imperial Residence off guard.
When the servants of the Jin Imperial Residence discovered that it was An Wang and An Wang Fei who had arrived, they were so scared that their souls almost flew away. They hurriedly ran inside to inform their masters. When Mu Mingtang and Hsieh Hyun-chen arrived, they just happened to see Jiang Mingwei rushing out.
The Jin Imperial Residence already had an official wife, so when relatives came to visit, they naturally came to Jiang Mingwei's place. Jiang Mingwei had obviously just taken care of herself. Her face was hurriedly powdered, and some traces were covered, but her face was unnaturally pale, appearing stiff and lifeless.
Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang's arrival came without warning, and they didn't even have a visiting card. It was actually a bit rude for them to suddenly visit like this. However, Hsieh Hyun-chen wasn't a guest, but an elder brother. Even if her elder brother did something unreasonable, it was still reasonable.
Jiang Mingwei's complexion wasn't good, and looking at the messy state of the powdered face, her previous mental state was probably not suitable to meet people. Logically speaking, in this kind of situation, guests should tactfully avoid them, but it would be strange if Mu Mingtang was so considerate. The more inconvenient it was for the host, the more she wanted to ask.
"I was originally talking with Wang Ye, but I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to see Third Brother and Younger Sister, so I came over. Younger Sister, you won't blame us for being rude, right? "
Jiang Mingwei revealed a hostess's smile. She originally intended to be decent and generous, but her expression was stiff, and her face was deathly pale. No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit stiff: "Younger Sister, what are you saying? We are family, and also neighbors. Coming and going is like our own home, how could it be rude?"
"That's good." Mu Mingtang nodded, saying, "If Younger Sister says so, then I'm relieved. Otherwise, I would have thought that we came at a bad time. That's right, why don't I see Prince Jin? "
After saying this, Jiang Mingwei clearly became more embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "Prince has other matters to attend to, so he's not in the room right now. I'll send someone to call His Highness. "
Jiang Mingwei almost couldn't control the expression on his face. Yesterday, Xie Xuanji must have heard some news that made him suspect her. Xie Xuanji was very dissatisfied in the palace, but because of the Emperor and the others, he reluctantly endured it. When he finally came back from the palace, Xie Xuanji did not even try to hide it. He turned around and went back to his own courtyard.
Last night, when the servants came to celebrate the New Year, in front of everyone in the residence, Jiang Mingwei received the servants alone and returned to his room to keep watch. Even today, Xie Xuanji went straight to Lianhan's courtyard after returning from the morning court ceremony. He didn't even come to see her, his official wife.
Coincidentally, there was a problem with the purchasing of the fu. Xie Xuanji was not in a good mood and said in front of Lian Han and the other servants: "Since wang fei does not have the energy to manage these matters, then don't bother. In the future, the kitchen and purchasing will be given to Lian Han."
Jiang Mingwei cried for half the night last night. This afternoon, because of this matter, she cried for a long time. Before Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang came in, Jiang Mingwei was crying and complaining to the nanny dowry. The nanny dowry and the nanny dowry took turns to persuade her for a long time. Over and over again, there was only one meaning, and that was to let Jiang Mingwei soften her body and coax Xie Xuanji. Tonight, no matter what, she had to let Xie Xuanji spend the night in her room.
Today was the first day of the New Year. It was related to the official wife's foundation. She definitely could not let Lian Han snatch it away.
Jiang Mingwei was in a dilemma when she suddenly heard the servants say that Prince An and Princess An had come. Jiang Mingwei was very frightened. She quickly let the servant girls put powder on her face to cover her tears and hurried out.
She almost ran into Mu Mingtang and Hsieh Hyun-chen at the door.
As for why Xie Xuanji wasn't here … Wasn't this completely predictable? Jiang Mingwei sent the servant girls to invite Xie Xuanji. Mu Mingtang responded and didn't dare to ask Xie Xuanji anymore.
She already felt that the ancestor beside her was very unhappy. If she mentioned Xie Xuanji again, Hsieh Hyun-chen might turn hostile on the spot.
However, Mu Mingtang was also a bit surprised. When she was in the Mu Manor, her father always stayed in her mother's room. After she got married, she also lived with Hsieh Hyun-chen. In her impression, the official wife's room was also the man's room.
Why did it seem that Jiang Mingwei's place was not like this? So much so that when guests came to the main courtyard of the back residence, Jiang Mingwei still had to send people to invite Xie Xuanji. On the first day of the first lunar month, Xie Xuanji shouldn't have court affairs. At this time, Jin Wangfu also didn't have any visitors. Then, where was Xie Xuanji?
Since it was related to other people's chores, Mu Mingtang was too embarrassed to ask too much. Moreover, Mu Mingtang didn't know if it was her imagination, but she was used to staying in her own Wangfu. She always felt that Jiang Mingwei's place was a bit crowded and a bit too dark.
It wasn't spacious and bright enough. It was far less comfortable than Jade Qilin Hall.
After they finished exchanging pleasantries, Xie Xuanji finally arrived late. Along with him was a graceful young woman. Looking at his posture, Xie Xuanji also rushed over.
When Xie Xuanji saw Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang in the room, he immediately cupped his hands and apologized: "This subject brother was negligent and didn't know that second brother was here. Please punish me. "
"We were suddenly interested. It's not your fault." After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he casually asked, "Do you two live very far away? Why did it take you so long to rush over?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen just happened to ask the question that Mu Mingtang wanted to ask. The smile on Jiang Mingwei's face stiffened. Only Xie Xuanji still spoke nicely. He lowered his head and apologized: "It's this subject brother's fault. I've made elder brother wait for so long."
Seeing that the situation had frozen, the woman behind Xie Xuanji with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a peach red dress saw the situation. She gracefully stepped forward and bowed to everyone: "This servant, Lian Han, greets An Wang and An Wang Fei."
Hsieh Hyun-chen glanced at the woman and immediately guessed her identity. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't want to acknowledge her at all. This was clearly shown on his face. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't speak. Jiang Mingwei also pretended to be deaf and mute. The woman bowed for a long time but no one paid her any attention. Slowly, her body started to tremble slightly. She looked very delicate.
In the end, it was Mu Mingtang who couldn't stand it anymore. He asked: "This is?"
A cold light flashed through Jiang Mingwei's eyes. It was clear that he hated this woman. However, Xie Xuanji was already dissatisfied. Jiang Mingwei didn't dare to make Xie Xuanji unhappy. He could only reluctantly open his mouth and introduce: "This is the concubine of the fu. Her name is Lian Han. She has served Wang Ye well. Right now, she is assisting in the kitchen and purchasing. She is a great contributor to the fu. "
Mu Mingtang made a low sound of "oh". Actually, just by looking at her appearance, one could tell that she was Xie Xuanji's concubine. However, Jiang Mingwei's words revealed a lot of information. At least, it was much more exciting than Mu Mingtang had imagined.
It seemed that this was the famous concubine Lian Han who dared to pretend to be sick on the fifteenth to steal Jiang Mingwei's place. Mu Mingtang originally thought that no matter how much Lian Han was favored, she was still a concubine. How could she compare to Jiang Mingwei, who was a childhood sweetheart, an equal match, a legitimate wife, and a young white moonlight. No matter how much Lian Han favored the concubine, she could only show off Jiang Mingwei's magnanimity and nobility. In the end, she was just a bunch of cannon fodder at Jiang Mingwei's feet.
But from Jiang Mingwei's words, this concubine actually stole a portion of the housekeeping power?
Mu Mingtang gave a soft "wow" in her heart. She looked around and finally realized that she seemed to have mistakenly entered a battle between wives and concubines. This concubine, who looked very scheming, not only wanted to take a portion of Jiang Mingwei's favor, she even wanted to steal the housekeeping power from Jiang Mingwei. Her ambitions were not small.
Lian Han was currently in her prime. Xie Xuanji doted on her a lot. On the first day of the month, he did not stay in the main courtyard. Instead, he came to her small courtyard and personally asked Lian Han to help with the housekeeping. Lian Han's aura was like a rainbow. She even dared to argue with the legal wangfei in front of outsiders: "Wangfei's words are too much for this servant. This servant is not as noble as wangfei, nor as knowledgeable as wangfei. This servant is just doing my best to help wangye. This servant is naturally not as intelligent as wangfei, but as long as wangye says it, even if there is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, this servant will still try. This servant has done everything for wangye. How can this servant dare to claim credit? "
Tsk, wonderful. If it wasn't for the fact that this was not the right place, Mu Mingtang would have clapped. This Lian Han really lived up to her scheming appearance. She was not a kind person. Jiang Mingwei deliberately flattered her. Lian Han first pretended to be weak and pitiful. In the end, she used Xie Xuanji as a shield and retreated in order to advance. She attributed all of her actions to Xie Xuanji's good. In this way, it could be said that she not only struck back at Jiang Mingwei, but also brushed up Xie Xuanji's good impression. Most importantly, Lian Han herself was an innocent and pitiful white lotus who was being bullied.
Very good, they had successfully attracted Mu Mingtang's interest. Mu Mingtang changed her position and leaned against the armrest. She looked at the scene in front of her with great interest. She came from a small place and had little experience. She had never seen a fight between wives and concubines in a large courtyard.
Hsieh Hyun-chen saw that Mu Mingtang was interested. She clearly wanted to sit down and enjoy the show. Hsieh Hyun-chen knew that she wouldn't be able to go back for a while, so she took out a chestnut for Mu Mingtang and asked: "Do you want to eat?"
Mu Mingtang quietly nodded her head. Hsieh Hyun-chen gently pinched the chestnut and the nut fell out. Hsieh Hyun-chen handed it to Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang also casually took it and ate it.
In order not to disturb the two female leads, she deliberately bit softly.
However, no matter how softly Mu Mingtang bit, she and Hsieh Hyun-chen would not disappear. Jiang Mingwei quickly looked at Mu Mingtang from the corner of his eyes. His heart was very unwilling to reveal the undignified side of her life in front of Mu Mingtang. Jiang Mingwei became anxious and his voice became stiff: "In front of guests, how can a concubine like you have the right to speak? His highness letting you manage the purchasing was a temporary measure. Now you haven't done a single thing and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me? "
Jiang Mingwei's tone was anxious and rushed. It could be seen that he had been angry for a long time. Lian Han's eyes turned red when she heard this. She immediately kneeled on the ground and wiped her tears. Her shoulders trembled as she said, "This servant has offended the princess, this servant is guilty. Your highness, this servant's status is low and shouldn't have taken on such a noble job. The matter of assisting in managing the household, you should take it back! This servant is not worthy. "
Lian Han began to cry as she spoke. In the end, she was choked with sobs and could not speak. Jiang Mingwei wanted to send Lian Han away as soon as possible, but now she was crying in front of everyone, as if she had been greatly wronged. Jiang Mingwei could no longer control the anger he had suppressed for a long time, "What are you crying for? You are just a trivial concubine. The position of housekeeper is not something you can even dream about. Even if you take it back, it is only natural. Who are you crying for? "
Lian Han did not say anything and just cried even more miserably. In the end, this was Xie Xuanji's woman. Xie Xuanji could not bear to see her cry like this. In a deep voice, he said, "It is the New Year, what is wrong with crying like this? Help yiniang up. "
Lian Han's crying stopped. Jiang Mingwei revealed a happy expression as he scolded, "That's right, crying like this during the New Year. People who don't know would think that something happened to you. So unlucky."
Lian Han stood up with the help of a maidservant. Although there was still resentment in her eyes, she did not dare to cry again. Jiang Mingwei was originally very happy to pursue the victory, but he did not expect Xie Xuanji to frown and look at him. He said, "You should also speak less. It is only the New Year, and you are already so vicious."
Jiang Mingwei's expression froze. He looked at Xie Xuanji in disbelief. Vicious? Xie Xuanji actually said that she was full of vicious?
"Wangye …"
Just as Jiang Mingwei spoke, Lian Han saw the opportunity and quickly cut her off. She said in a soft and weak voice, "Wangfei has good intentions. Wangye shouldn't be angry with Wangfei because of this servant. It is just that Wangfei's health has not been good recently. Last year, she was sick for the whole winter. At the end of the year, she just got better. Wangfei's health is the health of the whole fu. If Wangfei overworks herself and gets sick, then it is our fault. Wangfei should be recuperating and should not worry. How about letting this servant continue to share some of Wangfei's chores? "
Jiang Mingwei was angry when he heard this. He originally thought that Lian Han was tactful when she said that she wanted to hand back the right to manage the household. This matter would be resolved. He did not expect that Lian Han was just putting on an act. In fact, she did not give up. Jiang Mingwei was not satisfied. He looked at Xie Xuanji with a threatening gaze. "Wangye, there is a difference between a wife and a concubine. Please reconsider."
Lian Han also knelt down, not to be outdone. She weakly said, "Wangye."
Jiang Mingwei and Lian Han were tit for tat, not giving in to each other. The end of the conflict was Xie Xuanji. Xie Xuanji could not help but hesitate. One was his wife, the other was his favored concubine. Jiang Mingwei had the Jiang Family behind him. He could not bear to lose face for Lian Han. It was really difficult to choose …
Xie Xuanji was in a dilemma. For a moment, he was angry at Jiang Mingwei and Lian Han. Did these two women have to pick a quarrel? As women, it was fine if they were not gentle and honest, but couldn't they even get along well with each other?
Xie Xuanji was hesitating. At this time, a chestnut suddenly fell to the ground and bounced next to Lian Han's clothes. The scene was originally very quiet. When a chestnut suddenly appeared, everyone's eyes turned to the other side.
Mu Mingtang's fingers still had a small piece of the chestnut. He blinked his eyes innocently. Just now, he did not hold it firmly and accidentally dropped it on the ground. Mu Mingtang did not expect that it would be so coincidental. It just happened to roll to Lian Han's side.
"I already said that it is not easy to break it. You just had to try it yourself." Hsieh Hyun-chen casually jumped out of the fruit bowl as if it was his own home. He handed a thin chestnut to Mu Mingtang. "This one is already cracked. It is easy to break. If you want to do it yourself, try this. "
Mu Mingtang gently took the chestnut. He did not forget to smile at the people next to him. "I just broke the chestnut. You don't need to greet me. You can continue."
Mu Mingtang squeezed it. Sure enough, the shell cracked from the middle. However, Mu Mingtang's strength was not enough. By the time she peeled off the entire chestnut, the kernel had already broken into several pieces. She saw that Hsieh Hyun-chen had completely peeled off the chestnut. She was very jealous. "Why can you peel it off so completely, but mine is broken?"
"Don't just use brute force. Use skill." Hsieh Hyun-chen said as he picked up another chestnut and completely peeled it off in front of her. "You see, it is obviously very simple."
Mu Mingtang's whole body was sour. He said, "I want to eat yours."
Hsieh Hyun-chen very naturally handed his hand to her and casually took the kernel that she had peeled off. Mu Mingtang looked at the intact chestnut kernel in her hand and clicked her tongue in wonder. She looked up and found that the three people of the otaku fighting group were all looking at her.
Mu Mingtang realized that she and Hsieh Hyun-chen were a bit too arrogant. She changed her posture and even gestured to the master of the house. "I didn't mean to disturb you. You can continue. Who will be given the right to manage the household in the end? "
Xie Xuanji's face turned from white to black. It was obvious that he had become gloomy. What were Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang doing? Were they trying to put on a show?
Jiang Mingwei and Lian Han were the most perceptive people. They could tell that Xie Xuanji was really angry this time. They did not dare to say anything and did not dare to argue about the right to manage the household.
Xie Xuanji's face darkened as he said, "Arguing about these trivial matters in front of second brother and sister-in-law is really rude. Neglecting brother and sister-in-law, and letting brother and sister-in-law hear these disgraceful things, chen di is ashamed. "
Disgraceful things? Mu Mingtang gave a meaningful smile and said, "Yin and Yang together, husband and wife should be in harmony. This is a very normal thing. Third brother's family is prosperous and the whole family lives under the same roof. It's normal for there to be some bumps and bruises. How can this be called disgraceful things? Third brother's words make it seem as if dimei did something wrong. "
Jiang Mingwei's face was also very ugly. When he heard Mu Mingtang's words, he didn't know whether to thank her or refute her. If she said that Mu Mingtang did not have good intentions, she was still speaking up for him. If she said that she had good intentions … … but when these words came out of Mu Mingtang's mouth, why did it sound so uncomfortable?
Lian Han's eyes rolled around before she timidly bowed and said, "Princess Consort An is right. This servant thanks An Princess Consort."
Mu Mingtang had a smile on his face as his eyes stayed on Lian Han for a while longer. He smiled without saying anything. Lian Han felt goosebumps from Mu Mingtang's gaze. With a weak and questioning look on her face, she asked, "What does An Princess Consort mean by looking at this servant like this?"
Mu Mingtang completely ignored her and looked at Xie Xuanji, "Third brother, although I am not your blood related sister-in-law, I am still a princess with a title. When did I fall to the point where I have to talk to a shiqie without any title? "
Lian Han's face changed when she heard this. Jiang Mingwei felt both relieved and embarrassed. He stood up and said, "Forgive me, sister-in-law. Wang Ye and I did not mean it that way. This shiqie is lowly and arrogant. She doesn't know any etiquette. I ask sister-in-law not to argue with her. "
Even Xie Xuanji stood up to apologize. Mu Mingtang patted the chestnut residue on her hand. The maid immediately handed a wet handkerchief to Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang carefully wiped her fingers, as if the other people were not important at all. Her fingers were the most important thing.
Mu Mingtang slowly said, "This is your family's matter. Your brother and I are outsiders. How Jin Wang arranges his wives and concubines has nothing to do with us. Naturally, I won't argue with a shiqie, but I really don't want to be ordered around by a shiqie. "
Lian Han immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Her face was shockingly pale. This time, she was really trembling. Xie Xuanji lowered his head and swept a glance at Lian Han. He suppressed his emotions and didn't say anything. He still apologized to Mu Mingtang, "It's this younger brother's fault for not teaching her properly. This lowly concubine offended sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law can rest assured that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. "
When Mu Mingtang heard this, she didn't care at all. In any case, she didn't come to the Jin Wangfu often. What did Xie Xuanji do with his women? What did it have to do with her? Mu Mingtang had already wiped her hands clean as she spoke. She also watched the play and ate the chestnuts. Mu Mingtang was satisfied. She stood up and planned to return to the fu, "This is your family's matter. Jin Wang can do as he pleases. It's getting late, we should go back. Jin Wang, Jin Wangfei, please wait. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen thought that they could finally leave. She immediately got up and couldn't wait to leave.
Mu Mingtang said to stay, but Xie Xuanji didn't dare to not see them off. He and Jiang Mingwei sent the two people to the door of the second gate. On the way, Xie Xuanji looked at Mu Mingtang's red dress and bright hair crown. He realized that a wife was a wife, and a concubine was a concubine. It really couldn't be crossed.
No matter how careful Lian Han was, in the end, she was still a concubine. It was fine if she served him in private, but in a serious situation, she was too timid. In that kind of situation, Lian Han could only reply. Even talking to Mu Mingtang was an offense.
With this kind of identity, no matter what Lian Han's actual ability was, her reputation as a steward would only be ridiculed. Even if it was just to help, it was also not good.
Xie Xuanji dispelled the idea of letting Lian Han handle the internal affairs. He originally only wanted to use Lian Han to beat Jiang Mingwei. However, Lian Han's status was too low and she acted ostentatiously. He was afraid that she wasn't a good choice. There were plenty of ways to warn Jiang Mingwei, but if Jin Wangfu was implicated and ridiculed, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
After Xie Xuanji made up his mind, before Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang left, he said: "Today, this concubine was rude and offended you. Chendi apologizes to Elder Brother and Sister-in-law. In the end, there is a difference between a wife and a concubine. Second Brother is a model example. How can chendi make the mistake of favoring a concubine and neglecting the wife? Managing the internal affairs is Wangfei's responsibility. Asking this concubine to help was just a joke. It can't be taken seriously. "
When Jiang Mingwei heard this, she showed a surprised expression. She didn't expect that the matter that disgusted her for so long would be resolved like this. She said so much just now and Xie Xuanji only felt that she was angry. However, Mu Mingtang only said a few words and Xie Xuanji changed his mind?
Jiang Mingwei looked at Xie Xuanji in disbelief. Mu Mingtang didn't say anything. Instead, it was Hsieh Hyun-chen who laughed. The ridicule in his voice was clear: "Forget about these words. I didn't give you a demonstration. How you marry and take concubines is your own business. No one wants to interfere. However, letting your woman offend Mingtang is your fault. Today is the New Year. It's not appropriate to make a big fuss, so I didn't punish you. However, if there's a next time, I don't care what the occasion is. I don't care if you can get off the stage. If you want to maintain your face in front of your woman, then take care of them. Don't provoke my people again. "
Xie Xuanji was scolded shamelessly, but he didn't dare to refute at all. He could only lower his head and reply respectfully: "Second Brother is right. Chendi will remember this."
The atmosphere was very serious. Mu Mingtang and Jiang Mingwei stood to the side and didn't interrupt. After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished scolding Xie Xuanji, he turned around and looked at Mu Mingtang in a relaxed and casual manner: "Let's go. Let's go home."
Mu Mingtang replied with an "en." Finally, he glanced at Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei, then turned around and chased after Hsieh Hyun-chen.
This show was really a pleasant surprise. Mu Mingtang's annoyance from being disturbed by the Jiang family was swept away. She felt very comfortable from head to toe.
At night, after Mu Mingtang took a bath, she had nothing to do because she had to wait for her hair to dry naturally. She couldn't help but think of what she saw in the afternoon. Mu Mingtang sighed from the bottom of her heart: "There are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons next door. It's really exciting."
Hsieh Hyun-chen had also just taken a bath and his hair was half dry. When he heard her words, he glanced at her in amusement: "Are you finally satisfied now?"
"En." Mu Mingtang nodded. "I'm happy to see that they're not living well."
After Mu Mingtang said this, she felt that it wasn't quite right. When a man lived like Xie Xuanji, it seemed that no matter how one looked at it, it had nothing to do with living a bad life.
The young white moonlight became his legal wife. The favored concubines were charming and delicate, and the beautiful maids hugged him left and right. Although there were more fights between the women, it was all because of him. Xie Xuanji's life was probably the dream of many men.
And Jiang Mingwei might not be unwilling. Mu Mingtang lamented that Xie Xuanji's harem was filled with a foul atmosphere and serious internal strife. Perhaps Jiang Mingwei was still very proud that she was the legal wife and had the right to discipline the disobedient concubines below.
If one wasn't the party involved, it would be hard to make sarcastic remarks. Mu Mingtang carefully changed her words and said: "My words are sour grapes. I should take them back. Jiang Mingwei is a first rank Wangfei. She has her wish fulfilled and has limitless glory. Xie Xuanji is also a prince. He has a wife of noble status and concubines, and he enjoys the happiness of having two wives. How can this be called not living a good life? I'm just making wild guesses here. Maybe he's very happy with it. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen glanced at Mu Mingtang and couldn't help but remind her: "You're also a Wangfei."
"I know, I know. That's not what I wanted to say." Mu Mingtang leaned closer and whispered to Hsieh Hyun-chen, "I have a question that I'm especially curious about. If you were in my shoes today, how would you deal with the conflict between your wife and concubine? "
Here it comes again. Hsieh Hyun-chen helplessly glanced at Mu Mingtang and said: "Your words don't hold water. I don't have a concubine."
"I'm not asking you to take a concubine. I'm asking you, if you were in Xie Xuanji's position, how would you deal with today's matter?" After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she glared at Hsieh Hyun-chen with disdain. "Are these your true words? You want to take a concubine? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen's eyebrows rose high. She felt wronged beyond compare: "Who wants to? I didn't say anything from beginning to end. You're making false accusations again. "
Mu Mingtang thought about it and felt that it was true. Hsieh Hyun-chen really didn't say anything. Since she was the one who started this matter, then this topic could be moved on. Mu Mingtang quickly skipped this matter and said: "Don't get entangled in irrelevant matters. I'm very curious. What do men think about these kinds of things?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't even think about it and said: "What's there to think about? That woman … …"
"Lianhan." Mu Mingtang quietly reminded him from the side. Xie Xuanchen remembered the name and continued, "That Lian Han's intentions are not right. She repeatedly smeared Mistress' name and even used the excuse of sharing her worries to encroach on Mistress' authority to manage the household. What's the point of keeping such a scourge of the household?"
Mu Mingtang looked at him in surprise: "So, you can actually see through it?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen made a sound of acknowledgment. After responding, she felt that this sentence wasn't right: "What do you mean we can actually see through it? Such a clumsy trick, isn't it obvious? "
Mu Mingtang seemed to have refreshed his understanding. He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I always thought that only women could see through a woman's pretense of crying and acting pitiful. It turns out that men can also see through it. Since you can see through it at a glance, then why can't Xie Xuanji? Halfway through, Xie Xuanji must have been persuaded by Lianhan. Could it be that he's the kind of person who is shrewd outside but a complete mess in his own home? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen laughed and said softly: "How is that possible."
"Hm?"
"It's not that men don't fight and scheme against each other. The true and false in the imperial court, the open knives and hidden spears, are much more intense than the struggles in the harem. If he can't even see through the relationships in the harem, how can he enter and leave the imperial court? "
"But Xie Xuanji favors Lianhan." Mu Mingtang said, "He always thinks that Lianhan is weak and innocent."
