I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Mu Mingtang hasn't been relieved from the shock of the dead, but he can't react for a while. What is Xie Xuanchen saying: "What is the result?"

Xie Xuanchen motioned to the fragrance ball in his hand and asked, "Who did you tell about this fragrance ball?"

Mu Mingtang shook his head: "Except for you, there are no more." After she finished speaking, she paused and frowned slowly: "However, when I found it at noon, it seemed to be seen by a maid."

Xie Xuanchen nodded, obviously foreseeing this: "They must have discovered it, so they rushed to kill it. The spices inside don't need to be checked by someone, there must be a problem."

"Who moved the hand?"

"Just go and see."

Xie Xuanchen said that he didn't know where to tap his fingers, and the copper ball was suddenly opened from the middle. Xie Xuanchen said: "This aroma ball can no longer be kept. You can find a box and collect the spices."

Mu Mingtang seemed to understand, but he immediately stood up and looked for the box. Even if Mu Mingtang has never experienced this kind of battle, he still knows that he can't use too conspicuous boxes. However, all of her jewelry boxes are exquisite. Mu Mingtang really couldn't find anyone who didn't win her eyes. He simply took the risk, picked up his earring box, and took another piece of lipstick.

Xie Xuanchen was puzzled when he saw what Mu Mingtang had brought: "What are you doing with the red paper?"

"I can't compare you to you, but you are inferior to me when you hide things." Mu Mingtang opened the interlayer of the earring box quickly and slowly with paper to scrape the spices in the aroma ball. Xie Xuanchen probably understood what Mu Mingtang wanted to do. He was not good at this kind of meticulous work, so he could only whisper to the side to remind him: "Don't pour too much, save some in the aroma ball."

"I understand." Mu Mingtang nodded, and a thin layer of incense was spread on the bright red paper. Mu Mingtang folded the paper into a thin and thin paper bag and placed it in the small earring box, then covered it. The mezzanine layer restores the earrings to their original state. If it is not for active reminders, there is nothing hidden underneath.

When Mu Mingtang hid the incense Cinder, Xie Xuanchen had already recovered the incense ball. At this time, the maid who reported the news had already ran up, and the voice was about to come in soon. Mu Mingtang lowered his voice and asked urgently, "What about the aroma ball?"

"You can find a drawer to put it in." Xie Xuanchen suddenly remembered that Mu Mingtang had just taken it out of the cabinet and said, "Just put it back in the cabinet just now."

Put it back in the cabinet? Mu Mingtang frowned and said quickly: "Although I deliberately avoided people when I hid the aroma ball at noon, it may not be discovered by someone who is interested. What if someone takes advantage of us to go out and replace the aroma ball?"

"Just let them change." Xie Xuanchen said, "Anyway, all that is useful is spices. We only need to get the samples, and leave the rest for them to destroy."

"Okay." Mu Mingtang hurriedly responded, and quickly stood up to put the earring box and sachet. She had just restored the two things to their original condition, and the maid who reported the letter ran in breathlessly: "Princess, the big business is not good."

She ran in and found that Xie Xuanchen was also awake. The maid immediately fell to her knees with a thump, and banged her head: "The slave and maid had seen the prince and the princess."

"Get up." Xie Xuanchen's expression had returned to his unique and indifferent look, and he said lightly, "What's wrong outside?"

Facing Xie Xuanchen, the maid was obviously nervous. She just yelled all the way, but now she can’t even say the whole thing: "Return to the lord, Bihe accidentally fell into the water, waiting for the guardian to find out When she was, she had drowned."

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen looked at each other, and Mu Mingtang asked, "Where did they find it? Why did they fall into the water?"

"Just in the lake in the garden, it was seen by the servant who was salvaging the aquatic plants. As for the reason for falling into the water...the servant doesn't know."

It's November now, and the grass and trees near the lake are bleak, so the little servant is going to salvage the aquatic plants today? Mu Mingtang didn't ask any more, she looked at Xie Xuanchen questioningly: "Lord?"

"I'll go to the garden to see." Xie Xuanchen stood up as he said, perhaps because he got up too hard, his body shook when he stood up, causing a cough.

Mu Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, letting the maid fetch him water. Xie Xuanchen finally finished coughing. After this exhaustion, his face was pale and his lips were white.

Mu Mingtang would not be able to tell whether Xie Xuanchen was acting or really coughing for a while, because she didn't know whether it was true or not, the worry on her face was not false: "Master..."

"It's okay." Xie Xuanchen waved his hand slightly and said, "Life is a matter of life, and such a big thing has happened in the palace, you can't be negligent. My body is okay, let's lead the way."

Mu Mingtang could only sigh deeply, and said to the maid: "You first go and inform the people in the garden to wait. The prince is weak and can't stand the wind. You must wear it before going out."

The maid didn't doubt he was there, and after a kowtow, she went out. Mu Mingtang helped Xie Xuanchen to go to the screen and changed out the clothes. Mu Mingtang saw Xie Xuanchen's appearance that he would shake twice when he took a step, his heart tightened.

After waiting for the screen, Mu Mingtang asked him in a low voice, "Are you really uncomfortable? Or if you stay in the house, I'll just go see it."

"I lied to them." Xie Xuanchen did not move his lips, but a muffled voice came. Although he speaks in a low voice, it sounds full of breath, and it doesn't look like it's blown down.

Only then did Mu Mingtang let go and quietly let out a sigh of relief. She discovered that Xie Xuanchen was really good at pretending to be sick. Whether it was pretending to be unconscious or coughing, she was able to catch her with her hands.

Just after Mu Mingtang thought about it, Xie Xuanchen started coughing again. This cough seemed to be very laborious, Xie Xuanchen had to lean over slightly, clenching his fist to stop the cough. Mu Mingtang was originally tying up the laces for Xie Xuanchen. After he bent over like this, he almost wrapped Mu Mingtang in front of him. Mu Mingtang wanted to retreat subconsciously, but suddenly a hand was covered on his waist, exerting a slight force.

"Don't move." Xie Xuanchen embraced her, attached to her ear and whispered, "Pretend that you are tired from coughing. You can cooperate."

Mu Mingtang could only "cooperate" with half of his body stiff. This posture is very convenient for Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen leaned against Mu Mingtang’s sideburn and said in a low voice: "After we go out for a while, the aroma **** left in the cabinet will probably be replaced. After you come back, just do not know, continue to call The imperial doctor came in to see, don't just call the imperial doctor Zhang, separate and pass the imperial doctor over, three are almost the same."

"Good." Mu Mingtang nodded in response. She didn't dare to move at this moment. Fortunately, half of her body was covered by Xie Xuanchen at this moment. There was no need to worry about the expression on her face being seen, or Mu Mingtang felt that she would definitely be exposed.

Mu Mingtang's cheek faintly touched Xie Xuanchen's chin, she could only pull the distance as far as possible, but her waist was blocked by Xie Xuanchen, and Xie Xuanchen would tighten her a little bit, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Mu Mingtang can only try to divert his attention by talking about serious matters: "What should I do if I go out soon?"

"It's right for you to be suspicious. Pay attention to the identity information of the person who died. If possible, stay on the scene as much as possible."

"Hmm." Mu Mingtang nodded her head seemingly, she hesitated and asked, "Does your body matter?"

"I'm fine." Xie Xuanchen finally stood up straight, his lips were pale and his eyes were cold, "I know it in my heart."

Mu Mingtang said, after a while, he couldn't help but elbow him: "Since you have finished talking, then let go."

Xie Xuanchen realized that he was still holding Mu Mingtang's waist. He suddenly showed a weak posture and leaned on Mu Mingtang's body: "I am weak now and need someone to help me walk."

When Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen walked to the garden, many people were already standing inside.

Prince An’s mansion was killed, and Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei rushed over again. Jiang Mingwei stood far away in the attic wrapped in a cloak, with disgust on her face, for fear that she would be sullied by the dead.

If it weren't for fame, Jiang Mingwei didn't want to come over at all. He had just drowned someone and was too unhappy. Jiang Mingwei wrapped the cloak tightly again and sneezed gently in the wind. When the maid saw it, she said in a low voice, "Princess, the wind on the water is strong, and you are careful about the wind and cold. Or, the maid let them make a bowl of **** soup?"

"No need, I can go back in a long time, no trouble." Jiang Mingwei felt that it was just a drowning of the person, just come and walk around, she did not want to stay here for long, let alone drink **** tea at the scene of the dead. Jiang Mingwei wanted to sneeze again. She covered her mouth and nose with a kerchief and complained: "I didn't feel windy at home before, but when I came to their garden today, I found that the place was empty and the wind blowing was so cold."

After Jiang Mingwei complained, he heard a sound not far away, Jiang Mingwei raised her neck and looked at it, and said, "They are here."

Jiang Mingwei couldn't care about the cold, and hurried out with a cloak. The movement just now really was that Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang had arrived. When Jiang Mingwei walked over, she saw Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen supporting each other, slowly coming from the corridor. Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen's clothes were made of the same material, they looked delicate and heavy, and there was a faint soft light on the clothes. Mu Mingtang wore a red cloak outside, and Xie Xuanchen's was blue. The cloak and clothes made of the same material gave a strange echo.

Jiang Mingwei felt dazzling when she first saw it, and then she looked at it, isn't it just the bunch of flowers she was cut off by Mu Mingtang? Jiang Mingwei's heart suddenly set in flames, Mu Mingtang, this villain, Jiang Mingwei has lived in the official palace for so many years, and has never seen such a madness! Mu Mingtang deliberately mocked her with the green brocade, and now, still wearing another brocade to show off to her grandiosely?

Jiang Mingwei comforted herself not to care about with an ignorant citizen in the market, but in a blink of an eye she saw that Xie Xuanchen was also the same, and she was still furious.

Xie Xuanji also walked over and bowed slightly to Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang, "Second brother, sister-in-law."

Jiang Mingwei quickly reduced her expression, and then said hello: "Wang An, Wanan, sister-in-law."

Jiang Mingwei tried to tell herself not to compete with the villain, but she turned around and saw that her and Xie Xuanji's clothes were completely different. Xie Xuanji has his own personal maid, and never let Jiang Mingwei interfere with clothes and accessories. Jiang Mingwei wanted to compete with Mu Mingtang for this tone, and could not influence Xie Xuanji's decision.

Jiang Mingwei couldn't help feeling frustrated.

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

"Over there, it has been salvaged from the water." Xie Xuanji turned away and pointed to the back, with a hesitant expression. "The drowned man looked scary, so he didn't dare to worry about his brother and sister. It's windy outside, second brother. Go back and rest for a while with your second sister-in-law. After I have checked all this, I will send someone to report to the second brother."

Xie Xuanchen shook his head and said, "It's okay, I haven't seen a dead person. Although I am not in good health, I don't want to stand in the soil for a while. Let's take a look."

Xie Xuanji frowned and glanced at Mu Mingtang: "Second brother, I'm afraid this is not suitable for female families."

When Mu Mingtang heard it, he said immediately: "I have seen many dead people, and I have buried them myself. I am not afraid anyway. If King Jin is afraid of corpses, then I will accompany my husband."

Xie Xuanji looked ugly for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law was joking. The sister-in-law didn't let her shackles. On the contrary, I misunderstood the sister-in-law, so please don't blame the sister-in-law."

After speaking, Xie Xuanji gave way and stretched out his hand and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, please."

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen walked forward together. Sure enough, the body was salvaged, and it was lying on the shore, surrounded by footprints and mud. Mu Mingtang wanted to look closer, but people on both sides were staring at her, her clothes were not suitable for these things, so she had to give up.

It was a woman, 17 or 18 years old, wearing the uniform costume of a maid in the palace. Someone next to Mu Mingtang explained to Mu Mingtang: "The prince, the princess, her name is Bihe, and she is also serving in Yulintang."

"She is serving in Yulintang?" Mu Mingtang asked, "Why don't I remember?"

"She has rough hands and feet, and she usually takes care of trivial matters behind her, and she doesn't wait in front of others, so the princess looked at her with surprise.

This is inevitable. The servants of the palace are like clouds, and there are nearly a hundred servants in Guangyu Lintang. It is impossible for Mu Mingtang to recognize them all. Only people with good looks and smart temperament can appear in front of Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen, and more maids are drowned in the shadows, working all day long, no one knows.

Mu Mingtang nodded, and asked, "So, what does she care about?"

The person who answered seemed to pause and bowed his head and said: "She is from the incense room, and she is responsible for grinding the spices, then drying and storing them."

It's about spices. Neither Mu Mingtang nor Xie Xuanchen moved, but they both understood what the other had thought of.

Mu Mingtang's thinking slowly became clear, and he probably figured out what happened today. She was not sure, but now looking at the series of coincidences outside, Mu Mingtang can basically conclude that there is a problem with the spices in the aroma ball.

Mu Mingtang didn't know what was wrong for the time being, but at least the people behind didn't want to be noticed by Xie Xuanchen. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence. Yesterday she almost went out and Xie Xuanchen suddenly became ill during the time she was scheduled to go out. She had just found the fragrance ball today, and was planning to call someone to see in the afternoon. The spice maid drowned in the garden. Up.

Mu Mingtang doubted very darkly that this was the man behind it.

In fact, these people's movements are a bit abrupt, and drowning in the winter is far-fetched. It seems that they are also anxious.

Why anxious?

Mu Mingtang thought about that maid at noon today. Yesterday, Mu Mingtang temporarily changed his plan and did not go out. As a result, he ran into Xie Xuanchen's illness. After that, she stayed at the Yulin Hall. At that time, there were many people with mixed eyes, and the people behind did not find a chance to get the aroma ball out. They could only wait for one night. Today, they probably planned to come and take the things, but they didn't expect that they were turned out by Mu Mingtang first.

Mu Mingtang must have been seen when he was looking for something. After the informant passed the word to him, someone immediately fell into the water.

Mu Mingtang shuddered even after thinking about it. If she temporarily refused the invitation yesterday, or if she had nothing to do to clean up the cabinet today, who would have known the existence of this fragrance ball? It must have come and gone without a trace, no one would associate Fragrance with Xie Xuanchen's illness.

Mu Mingtang was silent for a while, feeling that this inexplicably dead woman was very suspicious. Even Mu Mingtang suspected that she was the one who handled the spices in the aroma ball.

Mu Mingtang did not conceal her suspicion in the slightest, and asked: "Since she is a person in the incense room, why would she drown in the garden? It is now winter, and the flowers that can be used as spices are already withered. What did she do in the garden alone? ?"

This...the people around you can’t tell. Xie Xuanji stood beside him for a while. Hearing Mu Mingtang’s words, he continued: “Everyone has their own habits. The incense room is dull all day long. She may be Came to the garden to breathe, and accidentally fell into the water. Of course, this is just my guess. The dead can't speak. If you want to know, you might as well ask people around her to come and ask."

Mu Mingtang nodded and said: "Yes, the dead can't speak, but you can do it. Life is a matter of life. My An Wang Mansion is definitely not a place where life is careless, and it must not end sloppily. Come, go to Dali Temple and ask for a job. I I have to ask how this maid died."
