I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Mu Mingtang never expected that she and Wu Anhou would meet for the second time under such circumstances.

The young man rescued her from Jie Ren and told her that as long as she could go, then go forward. Life is not easy, and death is too simple.

Later, this sentence became Mu Mingtang's spiritual pillar. Yes, her parents gave their lives to give her a chance to survive. How could she say death lightly. As long as you can walk, move forward. As long as you are panting, you must climb and climb to a safe place.

There was a fire in Xiangyang, and Mu Mingtang staggered, following the direction the teenager had left. After leaving the city, she followed thousands of refugees, behind the young army, and followed them north.

She also learned from other refugees that the boy who rescued Xiangyang was Wu'anhou. Wu'an Hou was ordered by the emperor to conquer Houshu. During the withdrawal, he discovered that Xiangyang had been captured. In fact, Emperor Wu of Zhou had prepared reinforcements to assist Xiangyang, but the prefect of Xiangyang ran away without resistance.

Wu'anhou from Hou Shu found something wrong on his way back to Beijing after the fight. He was actually anxious to go back to the capital at that time, but a city was ruined by the Jie people in front of him, and he couldn’t sit idly by, so he took the most elite soldiers and left. The large army quickly rushed to kill the Jie people who were making trouble in Xiangyang.

Mu Mingtang, a commoner, fled with the crowd. How could he know that Wu'anhou was anxious to return to Beijing at that time, because Zhou Wudi Guo Rong was seriously ill and the Xie family intended to replace him, so Xie Xuanchen had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible. Mu Mingtang didn't even know that Wu Anhou was Xie Xuanchen.

Wu'anhou was the title given to Xie Xuanchen by Emperor Guo Rong of Zhou Wu. Later, the Xie family replaced him and Xie Xuanchen became King of Qiyang. Later Xie Yi died and Xie Rui became the throne. No one even knew the past of King Qiyang, not to mention the title of a former dynasty, Wu'anhou.

Mu Mingtang walked to Chen Liu, and his mother-in-law Zhou decided to stay at Chen Liu's house. She remembered her savior, Wu Anhou all the way. But class suppression is too strong. How could Mu Mingtang, a flat-headed citizen, know the movements of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper circle. At most, she was thinking of Wu Anhou's name, and when she couldn't survive the escape, she recited it twice, and then gritted her teeth and walked on.

After that, she was adopted by the Jiang family by accident. She entered the circle of officials and eunuchs in the capital, but she did not have the ability to match it. The Jiang family didn't raise her as a daughter at the beginning. She was locked up by Mrs. Jiang, and trained daily in clothing, food, shelter and transportation, walked and talked. No one taught her the interpersonal relationship in Beijing, and no one let her contact the social circle. All she knows about Beijing is from the chatting of the maids.

The maids and women are naturally concerned about the parents’ shortcomings. They added their jealousy to say how serious Qiyang King’s madness was and how many people were killed last time. As for the political significance behind this, they themselves do not know.

Therefore, in Mu Mingtang's heart, King Qiyang and Wu'anhou were always two people. She quietly inquired about Wu'anhou's whereabouts, but the maid didn't know when she asked three questions, and she didn't dare to ask Mrs. Jiang, and then the padlock of the guardian mother was beaten down, and Mu Mingtang didn't dare to ask random questions.

She can only ask for peace for her benefactor in her heart. She has no delusions about Wu'anhou. Some people are standing on the top of a mountain, but more people are crowded at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the hero. Mu Mingtang has such humble and ordinary admiration for Wu'anhou.

That is the belief of an ordinary commoner in heroes in troubled times, not love, but spiritual support. She thought about it more than once that her savior was young, good-looking, and powerful. He didn't seem to be a few years older than her, but he had become Lord Hou. If you want to be a benefactor, you must be safe and smooth, make contributions and make a name for yourself.

She never thought that he would be like this.

After Mu Mingtang cried, he wiped away his tears and immediately rolled up his sleeves to think about what to do next. Her father said, a person can owe anything in his life, but cannot owe kindness. The Jiang family only took her in, and Wu Anhou treated her in a real life-saving favor.

It turned out to be him. Since it was his words, he is now unconscious, she should be the benefactor and wait for her life.

Mu Mingtang was no longer afraid in an instant. This was her savior, the heroic boy in her mind, where was a lunatic murderer. Mu Mingtang wiped away the tears, looked around, thinking about what to do now.

Yulintang came back to school, but no one took care of it for so long, and many places were covered with dust. In particular, many curtains were hung in the hall, not to mention the dust, but also blocking the light, the whole hall looked gloomy. Mu Mingtang stepped forward, rolled up all the curtains and tied them to the pillars, which was much brighter.

Then Mu Mingtang went outside to fetch water and scrubbed Xie Xuanchen's cheeks and body. Xie Xuanchen was in a coma for a long time, and three meals a day and sanitation care were all taken care of by a special person, but the servants in the palace had changed several times, and now the guards outside were all sergeants. These rough masters can count on how they can take care of others. Xie Xuanchen's basic hygiene is no problem, but there are clotted blood on his cheeks and body.

Mu Mingtang wandered outside and worked extremely quickly. And when Granny Zhou was seriously ill, Mu Mingtang was taking care of her, so she was very experienced in caring for patients. Fortunately, the guards outside did not dare to approach or let her out, but did not dare to neglect her instructions. After a while, the guard brought a bucket of hot water and put it at the entrance of Yulin Hall, and then retreated far away on duty.

Okay, Mu Mingtang had to bring the water in by himself. She did everything in order to make money during Chen Liu's six months, and it was not a problem to carry a bucket of water. In order to save a few trips, she kept bringing the water up to the innermost hall, then brought the washbasin, and adjusted the temperature to just right with cold water. After that, Mu Mingtang took out his veil, soaked it completely in the water, wrung out the excess water, knelt on the edge of the bed, and carefully cleaned Xie Xuanchen's face.

She wiped Xie Xuanchen's entire face first, then rubbed the veil again, wringed it out, and wiped the blood on his face little by little. The blood stains looked like sun, and they were all blackened and hardened. Mu Mingtang really didn't dare to think about whose blood it was.

To wipe the blood off his face, Mu Mingtang could only move his body closer. Looking at it from a close distance, Mu Mingtang realized that Xie Xuanchen was really good-looking. Perhaps because he didn't see the sun all the year round, he was so white that he was about to shine in the dim temple. Moreover, the bones on the side of the face are smooth, the eyebrows are high, the eyelashes are long, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the lips are thin. It may be due to weakness, and there is no blood at the moment.

After Mu Mingtang finished rubbing it, he sighed from the bottom of his heart that this person is so good-looking and has good skin. The famous Qiyang King Xie Xuanchen is much more beautiful than the little white face who eats with his face outside. Mu Mingtang washed the veil again, and then planned to scrub Xiao Bai's face, oh no, Qiyang King's limbs.

As for undressing, she doesn't have the guts yet.

Mu Mingtang climbed back onto the bed and opened the quilt before discovering that Xie Xuanchen had an iron chain on his arm.

Mu Mingtang was so surprised that he pulled all the quilts away and found that it was not only on his hands, but also on his feet.

These chains are pitch black, rough and cold, and look very heavy. And these were actually added to a patient of Xie Xuanchen.

He is so weak, with only a thin wrist, they actually put iron chains on him?

Mu Mingtang suddenly couldn't help crying: "Why did they treat you like this! You are the hero who saved Xiangyang, and you are still in bed now, so why do they treat you like a prisoner?"

While crying, Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen's wrist. The wound on his hand is simply shocking. He seems to have struggled with this humiliating brand more than once, but he is weak and has no keys, so he can only rely on brute force to struggle and draw blood marks on his wrist. Layers of black blood were covered, and blood scabs formed in some places, sticking to the bedding.

Mu Mingtang felt pain when she looked at it. She wanted to tear off the sticky cloth on his wound, but she was afraid of hurting him, so she had to moisten the blood scab with a kerchief and gently remove the fluff and cloth on it. .

It might be that it hurt him, or it might just show the chain and touch Xie Xuanchen's bottom line, and his hand suddenly moved. Mu Mingtang was startled, hurried back, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Don't kill me!"

After a strong fall, Mu Mingtang rubbed his waist painfully and stared at him vigilantly for a long time. Seeing that Xie Xuanchen hadn’t moved next, he crawled back slowly and cautiously: "I’m...er, the new princess. I am here to take care of you. I swear that I will not harm you anyway."

Mu Mingtang was really ashamed to say that he was his wife in front of Xie Xuanchen, so he had to change his rhetoric. Fortunately, there was no movement after Xie Xuanchen, Mu Mingtang lifted his heart to clean his wounds, and he still fell asleep peacefully.

Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief. A basin of clean water soon became dirty, Mu Mingtang ran out and poured it out, and added warm water again. During this period, there was a place that was not easy to clean. Mu Mingtang tried to lift the iron chain, but it was just a lock ring for roasting hands, and Mu Mingtang had to use his whole body strength to hold it.

She moved the iron ring up along Xie Xuanchen's arm with her strength, exposing the wound. With just this action, Mu Mingtang was so tired and panting.

Mu Mingtang leaned on his waist and couldn't help but look at the iron ring. "What kind of iron is this made of so heavy?"

Mu Mingtang looked at it for a while, then went to look at Xie Xuanchen's scarred hand. No wonder he was hurt so badly with such a heavy chain.

There was a sour and astringent feeling in her heart. The young general who was so energetic back then is now being treated like this.

Mu Mingtang changed several basins of water and even went out to let the guards boil another bucket of hot water, so that the blood stains on Xie Xuanchen's wrists and ankles were washed away easily. Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen was unconscious, and all kinds of medicines in the hall were complete. Mu Mingtang took out the golden sore medicine from the box and carefully sprinkled it on his wrist: "The wound is so deep, it hurts so much at the beginning. They are also really, your hand has suffered such a serious injury, no one will give it to you. Bandage. You are a man who wields knives and guns and fights the world. Your hands are precious, but you can never get hurt."

In the August weather, Mu Mingtang didn't dare to wrap him with gauze, for fear of airtightness, it would be even more troublesome if he covered it with pus. Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen wouldn't move. She scrubbed and changed dressing more diligently, but it didn't affect her.

When medicine was sprayed on all the wounds on his hands and feet, Mu Mingtang was already exhausted. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and laughed to herself: "I have been a young lady for a few days, and even my body has become more delicate. This is such a big deal, I was so tired and sweaty."

Today is her big wedding. She didn't sleep well last night. She was quarrelled early today and was tossed by various wedding ceremonies for a day. In the evening, she was still busy doing so much physical work, and Mu Mingtang couldn't make it anymore. At this moment, she especially wanted to bury her head and go to sleep, but she looked at the messy water stains on the ground and the mess of dirty cloth. After all, she got up, threw out all the dirty cloth, and found a dry cloth to wipe the ground dry.

Fortunately, there are coolies outside. She only needs to bring the water and garbage to the door. If Mu Mingtang does it all by herself, she won't want to sleep tonight.

After everything was set up, Mu Mingtang took a brand new big red brocade quilt and gently covered Xie Xuanchen's body. She tucked Xie Xuanchen's quilt, and sighed: "Fortunately, I can't afford such a large house in the future, otherwise it would be too tired to clean up by myself."

She covered the quilt and gently climbed down from the foot of the bed. She picked up the light stand she put aside, turned her head and smiled and said to Xie Xuanchen: "Today's newly married, although you don't know, you probably don't agree with it. But after all, it is a good day. Newlyweds have to cover the red quilt before they can flourish Fire is healthy and healthy."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, no one responded unexpectedly. She didn't care, blowing out the lights in the sleeping hall one by one, clinging to a small lamp, and fumbled outside.

She had set the site for herself, and did not intend to sleep in the same bed with Xie Xuanchen. She is a young girl after all. She was embarrassed if she didn't know the identity of Xie Xuanchen, but now she learned that this was the person who saved her back then.

After Mu Mingtang left, the room returned to silence. Because the light suddenly disappeared, Mu Mingtang's eyes didn't adjust to the darkness, and he dizzed for a while. Naturally, I didn't see it, Xie Xuanchen's finger flicked slightly.
