Chapter 553
Xie Xuanchen stood beside Mu Mingtang and suddenly asked, âDo you know each other?â
Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanji were both shocked and denied together, âNo.â
Xie Xuanchen smiled, apparently accepting their words for now and stopped asking. Mu Mingtang suddenly felt a sense of fear. Even if she and Xie Xuanji were not good enough at masking their expressions, they were once an Empress and Emperor. Other than the initial slip-up, they had immediately reverted back to their public personas. Even so, despite being only 13 years old, Xie Xuanchen was able to catch the smallest rift in their expressions.
Mu Mingtang felt a strong fear. She had only met Xie Xuanchen once in her previous life. When she married into the royal family, Xie Xuanchen had died and his legendary feats had disappeared along with him. By then, all Mu Mingtang knew was that Xie Xuanji had a very powerful cousin. If it werenât for his death, no one really knew who the throne was going to be inherited by.
Madam Yin thought that this brat would be impatient about it, but she didnât expect Xie Xuanchen to agree. Madam Yin was surprised and looked at her son properly.
Why did he change his personality today?
Mu Mingtang was a bit amused when she heard Madam Yin asking Xie Xuanchen to take care of her. After all, she was reborn and she was not a 9-year-old child. Xie Xuanchen seemed more like a younger brother to her at this point, and yet he was the one who had to take care of her?
Mu Mingtang agreed to disagree.
Xie Xuanji was in a similar mood. In fact, Xie Xuanji felt uncomfortable seeing Xie Xuanchen. In his impression, Xie Xuanchen was always a suffocating Demon King. He suppressed people with his harsh civil, military affairs, strategies and appearance. Suddenly, just seeing a 13-year-old that looked like a childish version of the Demon King he once knew was a bit disorienting.
