I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 187

Ch.187 Mystery (3)

If it weren't for her reputation, Jiang Mingwei didn't want to come over at all. The person who had just drowned to death was way too unlucky. Jiang Mingwei tightened the cloak against her body again and sneezed gently as the wind blew. The maid saw this and said in a low voice: "Concubine, the wind is rather strong above the water, don’t catch a cold. How about, I order them to make you a bowl of ginger soup?"

"There’s no need for that, we’ll be able to head back soon, there’s no need for the trouble." Jiang Mingwei felt that it was just someone who drowned, she came as a mere formality, she wasn’t planning to stay here for a long, let alone have ginger tea at the scene of the dead. Jiang Mingwei wanted to sneeze again. She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and complained: "I never realised that it was this windy at home, but once I stepped into their garden today, I realised that the wind in such a s.p.a.cious s.p.a.ce was extremely chilly."

After Jiang Mingwei complained, she heard a sound not too far from her, Jiang Mingwei looked at and said, "They're here."

Jiang Mingwei couldn't care less about the cold, and hurried out with her cloak. It really was Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. When Jiang Mingwei walked over, she saw Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen supporting each other, as they slowly walked towards them through the corridor. Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen's clothes were made of the same material, it looked exquisite and thick, which gave off a hint of softness. Mu Mingtang wore a red cloak, and Xie Xuanchen's was blue. The cloak and clothes that were made of the same material were strangely matching.

Jiang Mingwei found the scene rather blinding at first sight, when she took a closer look, wasn’t that the bunch of brocade that Mu Mingtang had got to before her? The fire in Jiang Mingwei's heart immediately ignited into prairie flames. Mu Mingtang, what an evil person. Jiang Mingwei had lived in the official’s manor for so many years, and had never seen such arrogance! Mu Mingtang deliberately mocked her with the green brocade, and even now, she wore the other brocade to show it off to her?

Jiang Mingwei tried to comfort herself by telling herself not to be on the same level as an ignorant citizen, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that Xie Xuanchen had the same design, and this made her furious.

Xie Xuanji then walked over, he bowed slightly at Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang: "Second brother, sister-in-law."

Jiang Mingwei quickly controlled her facial expression, and then greeted: "May Prince An, Sister-in-law be blessed with eternal prosperity."

Jiang Mingwei tried to convince herself not to compete with such an evil character, but from the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Xie Xuanji's clothes were completely different from hers. Xie Xuanji had his own personal maid, and he never let Jiang Mingwei interfere with his choice of clothing and accessories. Even if Jiang Mingwei wanted to compete with Mu Mingtang on this, she couldn’t influence Xie Xuanji's decision.

Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Xie Xuanchen nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the person?"

"Over there, we already fished the person out of the water." Xie Xuanji turned away and pointed to the back, with a hesitant expression. "The person who drowned is quite terrifying to look at, and I didn’t want you both to worry. It's windy out today, just head back and rest for a while. After getting a hold of the situation, I will send someone to report the updates to you."

Xie Xuanchen shook his head and said, "It's okay. It’s not like I haven't seen a dead person before. Although I am not in the best of health, I won’t die just from standing for a while. Let's go take a look."

Xie Xuanji’s brows furrowed as he glanced at Mu Mingtang: "Second brother, I'm afraid that it’s best that the females don’t come along."

When Mu Mingtang heard this, she immediately said: "I have seen many dead bodies, and I have even buried them myself. I’m not afraid, if Prince Jin is afraid of corpses, I could head over with my husband."

What nonsense was this? Xie Xuanji’s expression turned ugly for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law and her jokes. Females are not inferior to men. I was the one who misunderstood you, I hope that you won’t blame me for it."

When he was done, Xie Xuanji stepped aside and made way for them, he stretched out his hand and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, please."

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen walked forward together. Sure enough, the corpse had already been fished out of the water, and it was lying on the sh.o.r.e, surrounded by footprints and mud. Mu Mingtang wanted to take a closer look, but people on both sides were staring at her. Her clothes were not suitable for these things, so she had to give up on the idea.
