Chapter 548
Mu Mingtangâs heart was a little broken. In her previous life, he seemed like a god descended from heaven, brave and handsome. Mu Mingtang fell in love with him at first sight and attributed almost all the good virtues in the world to him. In Mu Mingtangâs heart, her lifesaver should be a great hero who was brave and resourceful, held good prowess in both civil and military aspects, remained loyal to the country and maintained an upright attitude.
But now, the heavens had suddenly bashed Mu Mingtangâs rose-tinted filter with a hammer. It turned out that the hero she had been thinking about was nothing more than a lawless and unscrupulous man that came with problems of a rich and powerful child during his teenage years?
Mu Mingtang was completely sick.
Madam Yin apologised to Master and Madam Mu who came over. She also asked her servant to get some medicine for Mu Mingtang to calm her nerves. The Mu couple saw at a glance that the other party was either rich or noble, most likely an official family, so how dare they say anything otherwise. After Madam Yin finished talking to Madam Mu, she looked down and saw Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were still staring at each other. The two children seemed to be stuck, neither of them moving.
When Madam Yin saw this exchange, she immediately slapped Xie Xuanchen in a reproachful way, although the latter didnât seem bothered by the force at all. He saw Mu Mingtang rub the spot he poked just now, finally reacting, as she stared at him strangely.
Xie Xuanchen felt that the way she looked at him was very odd, so he suddenly asked, âDo you know me?â
Mu Mingtang was startled. After all, she was once an Empress, but to be seen through by a mere 13-year-old child? She immediately restrained her expressions and said, âI donât know you.â
Xie Xuanchen looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, making Mu Mingtang feel weak under his gaze. He was obviously barely a teen, but why did she feel like she was exposed?
Madam Yin didnât notice the disturbance and tension between them. She only had two sonsâ the eldest had passed away early due to a rash developing into an illness whereas her younger and sole remaining son was a devil in disguise. She would have loved to have a daughter, though it didnât seem like fate ever intended for her to have one. Hence, upon seeing the obedient, doll-like Mu Mingtang, it was the least her heart could do when it practically melted.
