I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 156: Empty (2)

Chapter 156: Empty (2)

How can she spend a large amount of money and use up all this money in a short period of time? The first thing would be to buy gold. Gold is the most valuable item among all the options, Promissory notes need to be backed by the imperial court, rice and clothes are easily perishable.

Mu Mingtang came from a business family, having interest in gold and silver was very much in line with her character. As long as the money was in hand, she didn't care if people said she was tacky, since it didn’t hurt her at all to be ridiculed by them.

After the Emperor changed his t.i.tle, Xie Xuanchen seemed to have disappeared from everyone’s sight. After all, the common folk never really paid attention to the affairs in the palace. No one knew who Prince An was and Prince Qiyang, who was famous for his achievement in war, was never mentioned by anyone in the capital anymore.

The impact from changing his name was huge, once it happened, the people would not receive any news about Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen was still alive, but the people had long forgotten his existence.

The Emperor was paving the way, so that the people could accept Xie Xuanchen’s death. Everything was going to plan, until the sudden appearance of Mu Mingtang, who spent huge sums in gold stores. The business sectors in the capital were extremely prosperous. As long as there was a market, there was nothing that couldn’t be sold. Gold vendors from other places came all the way to the capital, which made the An Manor a hot topic.

Now, everyone in the capital knew that Mu Mingtang loved gold and was very generous. As long as she liked it, she could easily buy over the entire street with just a wave of her hand.

By surprise, Mu Mingtang became very famous. Since the princess spent so much, the people were then curious who Prince An was. Gradually, the people started to link Prince An and Prince Qiyang together.

The Emperor, even after pouring in so much effort. In the end, he was still defeated by Mu Mingtang's spending habits.

On the other hand, Jiang Mingwei finally recovered after a long time. After her recovery, her friends organized a dinner event so that she could come and relax.

There was no doubt that Jiang Mingwei was the main focus of today. Other than her friends, all the rich ladies from the capital came to the gathering. Everyone there was great at socializing. The harems greeted each other and started kissing up to Jiang Mingwei. Yet, after doing it for so long, Mu Mingwei did not respond to them, and she looked spiritless.

Her best friend felt that she was giving her a hard time, and asked: “Mingwei, are you okay? Are you still sick?”

Jiang Mingwei shook her head, and said: “I’m fine.”

Her health wasn’t the most important factor for the time being. She felt depressed, as she couldn't cheer herself up.

A friend tried to joke about the situation and intentionally say: “Ming Wei and Prince Jin have been married for almost two months. After so long, Prince Jin still makes you tired?”

Everyone in the seat laughed when they heard this. Although it was just a joke, it was essentially to please Jiang Mingwei. Shouldn’t the ladies be proud when their husbands are reluctant to leave their bedrooms?

Her best friend intentionally said so, as Jiang Mingwei was very proud of the fact that Prince Jin was deeply attracted to her and had continuously begged her to marry him. In the past, Jiang Mingwei used to complain about the issue all the time. Yet, everyone knew what she was up to, they clearly knew that Jiang Mingwei was essentially showing off rather than making complaints.

This time, her best friend did it again to please Jiang Mingwei. She was expecting Jiang Mingwei to react to her words, but in the end, Jiang Mingwei emotionlessly strained a smile.

“I was sick a few days ago, why would I sleep by his side? I’m not that desperate, I can sleep by myself, without a man.”

Her best friend’s smile froze, and everyone knew that something wasn’t right. Jiang Mingwei's words seemed to be mocking someone.

The ladies on their seats secretly looked at each other, and they all knew who Jiang Mingwei was referring to. The Empress had sent someone to visit her when Jiang Mingwei was sick a few days ago. Coincidentally, the Empress’s trusted subordinate visited her right after Jiang Mingwei punished her two maids. After that, Jiang Mingwei claimed that she was seriously ill and kept herself behind doors, she didn’t even manage the matters in the manor. Only until recently, she reappeared in front of everyone.
