Chapter 498

Within a day, everyone in the Xu family knew that Xie Xuanchen was pretending to be seriously injured in order to deliberately trick the Princess into helping him and feeding him.

Everyone in the Xu family suddenly looked at Xie Xuanchen with slight accusation and contempt, but because Mu Mingtang took it completely seriously, they could only endure it. Among them, Xu Qilangs image of the Prince was shattered.

In fact, Xie Xuanchen felt miserable because he only told one lie at first, but in the end, he had to tell more lies to smooth things over. As the lie got bigger and bigger, the situation also became a lot harder for him to come clean.

Because of this incident, Xie Xuanchen had his self-control tested for a few days. When Mu Mingtang personally changed the dressings of his wounds, it aroused him, but instead she would leave and insist on sleeping on a separate bed every night.

Xie Xuanchen was going to be tortured to death.

However, Ye Luji had been captured, so Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were also going back to the Zhending Residence. In the beginning, Xie Xuanchen placed Mu Mingtang at the Xu Residence in Zhongshan because he was afraid that something might happen to her while he was away on an expedition. Now that Xie Xuanchen had returned and no longer planned to rescue those idiots in the capital, Mu Mingtang could naturally go back.

Xie Xuanchen took Ye Luji, who was restrained as if he was a rice dumpling, and followed Mu Mingtangs carriage on his horse. They said goodbye to everyone in the Xu family and returned to the Zhending Residence with their troops.

Even though they had not seen each other for a few days, the Zhending Residence still looked the same as when theyd left. Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief when she returned. The Xu family was of course very good to her and took good care of her in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, it was still someone elses family, so no matter how good it was, it was not as good as her own.

Unknowingly, Mu Mingtang felt at home in the Zhending Residence. Perhaps it wasnt necessarily home, but because Xie Xuanchen was here, it was her home.

Xie Xuanchen then went ahead to deal with the official business that had been acc.u.mulated during his absence. By the time his work for the day was completed, it was already nighttime. Xie Xuanchen took care of the urgent matters and left the rest for tomorrow before he strode towards the backyard.

There was an office in the front whereas Mu Mingtang resided at the back. Now that he was walking towards the backyard, Xie Xuanchen felt like he was heading home.

After returning, the two of them had their dinner. The other servants were very experienced, leaving the moment they finished their meals.

Mu Mingtang brought out the medicine box and said, Its time to change your bandages.

Xie Xuanchen looked at the medicine box and then at Mu Mingtang before he stretched out his hand obediently.

Mu Mingtang unb.u.t.toned his collar. After doing it so many times, she was rather skilled at it now. She changed Xie Xuanchens gauze and said, The wound has healed and only a blood scab is left. Is it going to get better soon?

He was fine from the start, so Xie Xuanchens mind was not at all on the moment as he responded casually, Mm, probably.
