I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 549

Madam Yin asked softly, “Little girl, what is your name?”

Mu Mingtang had a good impression of this lady. For Madam Yin’s sake, she did not avoid answering her and replied, “My name is Mu Mingtang.”

Madam Yin was about to speak before Xie Xuanchen, who was standing next to her, suddenly interrupted, “The tang in ‘Haitang(1)’?”

(T/N: ‘Haitang’ is the name of Begonia in Chinese)

Mu Mingtang glanced at him quickly and nodded, “Yes.”

Madam Yin silently warned her son with her eyes that the origin names of other ladies should not be simply spread to the world. To still ask about it even though it was common knowledge, Xie Xuanchen had really behaved rudely.

Madam Yin finally gave Mu Mingtang a bracelet and asked where they lived before stating that she would invite the little girl to her house as a guest another day.

Although Mu Mingtang’s parents agreed, no one took it seriously. This lady was obviously from a wealthy family, so how could she interact with mere merchants? It was probably just her being polite.

Mu Mingtang didn’t take it seriously either. After becoming the Empress for many years, how could she not be familiar with the meanings and courtesies hidden behind the pleasant talk of noble women? She herself even told young ladies often that she got along well with them and would take them into the palace to hang out more in the future.

Though, those were just sweet words. If anyone ever took them seriously, then they were too dense.

However, Mu Mingtang felt strange sitting in the carriage. Xie Xuanchen…why did this name sound so familiar?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Mingtang kept repeating the name in her heart. After all, she was reincarnated to a timeskip of ten years. 10 years was a long time and many things have happened then, so she would most likely forget a lot of the smaller details. She thought about it over and over again before she accidentally realised that Xie Xuanchen’s name was very similar to Xie Xuanji’s. In fact, it sounded like their names were from the same generation.

In a split second, Mu Mingtang was startled as she suddenly remembered who Xie Xuanchen was.

King Qiyang!

Mu Mingtang was shocked. She immediately lifted the curtain and looked back, ignoring her servant’s dissuasion. So he was the famous King of Qiyang in the future? So the Marquis of Wu’an, King of Qiyang and Xie Xuanchen were the same person?

Mu Mingtang then remembered more details as the cogs in her brain started turning. Yes, Xie Xuanji was born in Lin An and moved to the capital later, which was a detail that Mu Mingtang once heard the older seniors in the palace mention by chance. The old palace servant said that the late Emperor and His Majesty were originally from Lin An.

Many of the logistics were correct— the uncle who was a high-ranking official in the capital, the aunt, Madam Yin, who she had never met and Xie Xuanji’s brilliant cousin who died young.

The servant didn’t know what was wrong with Mu Mingtang, so she hurriedly called her in a low voice. Mu Mingtang’s mother in front noticed something was wrong and stopped the carriage to ask her daughter, “Tangtang, what’s happened to you?”

Mu Mingtang came back to her senses, put down the curtain and said, “I’m fine. I was just entranced by the small stalls on the road just now.”
