I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 319

Chapter 319

Beauty (3)

When Jiang Mingwei heard Wanyan Duo’s reply, she was very confused because she clearly remembered the foreign beauty who had been in Xie Xuanji’s harem and was also from the Tayan tribe. According to the book, Wanyan Duo fell in love with Xie Xuanji first and later won his heart.

After that, when Xie Xuanji needed soldiers, he used Wanyan Duo’s network to recruit troops from the Tayan tribe.

The soldiers from the Tayan tribe, who lived in gra.s.slands, were capable of riding horses, wielding all sorts of weapons and fighting fiercely, whereas the Ye Dynasty had money but lacked military power. After the Tayan tribe and Xie Xuanji joined forces, Xie Xuanji provided them with salt, iron, and huge amounts of money in return the Tayan tribe helped Xie Xuanji in wars.

Wanyan Duo also began to follow Xie Xuanji pa.s.sionately and received the highest status in the Ye Dynasty.

‘But today, Wanyan Duo chose Xie Xuanchen as soon as she opened her mouth. Why…..’

Jiang Mingwei was not looking forward to someone moving into Xie Xuanji’s backyard, much less such a powerful threat to her position. She would be more than happy to have one less person in Xie Xuanji’s good graces. Yet, she was aware of the Wanyan Duo’s background and recognised the significance of the Tayan tribe to Xie Xuanji. Compared to that, having one more rival was secondary.

‘Has Wanyan Duo mistaken the wrong person?’

However, Wanyan Duo had clearly mentioned ‘King Qiyang’ at first chance. Xie Xuanchen’s reputation was so well-known that there was nearly no chance of her to have made a mistake.

Unsure of whether Xie Xuanchen would accept Wanyan Duo or not, Jiang Mingwei gazed at Xie Xuanchen before softly turning to look at Xie Xuanji.

Xie Xuanchen, who unexpectedly became the centre of attention, didn’t show any expressions under everyone’s gazes. He just looked at Wanyan Duo casually and uttered, “No.”

The entire banquet hall fell silent after Xie Xuanchen’s rejection, and Wanyan Duo’s blus.h.i.+ng face turned ugly as if she hadn’t expected it.

As an outstandingly beautiful woman, she had never thought that one day a man would publicly reject her in such a straightforward manner.

Wanyan Duo’s face changed from red to white as she became embarra.s.sed and irate. A faint sparkle of tears appeared in her eyes. Many people found the situation humiliating and intolerable. One of the men said: “Prince An is in full bloom, a hero deserving of a beautiful woman. That is a blessing that many people cannot receive. The prince is not giving the beauty any face by rejecting her like this.”

Somebody in the crowd also couldn’t keep his mouth shut, “Is Prince An not accepting beauty because the princess is strict?”

Although that person asked that question as a joke, Mu Mingtang could clearly understand the true meaning behind it. In the end, Xie Xuanchen’s rejection became Mu Mingtang’s fault.

Mu Mingtang was being forced to speak up, so she grinded her teeth and was ready to speak, but was cut off by Xie Xuanchen: “If I don’t want it, I don’t want it. It’s my business. Why do you drag the Princess An in? Besides, who are you to judge my princess? Is it your turn to intervene in the family affairs of my wife and I?”

The person who spoke was choked to shame. He immediately smiled awkwardly and dared not speak any again.

Xie Xuanchen not only did not care about the beauty, but he also didn’t care about them. He scolded them as soon as they said something unpleasant, and he didn’t even care about what the occasion was at all.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Duo was unable to even lift her head because of embarra.s.sment. Looking at her lonely figure, the other men feel sorry for her.

Traditionally, a foreigner presenting a beautiful woman at a state banquet was an honour that no man would turn down—much less a woman like Wanyan Duo. The men on both sides felt uncomfortable. It would have been fantastic if they could have won Wanyan Duo’s heart. This made them more envious of Xie Xuanchen.
