Chapter 270

Drama (4)

Mu Mingtang choked after hearing Xie Xuanchens arrogant words, but she really couldnt refute him. So she gave up on reasoning with Xie Xuanchen and went up to pick up the lock and looked carefully: What kind of keyhole is this?

He surely is super rich. Even a remote and unused back door has the most expensive heavy iron lock on it. Mu Mingtang sighed while trying to unlock the lock. How to open this? We dont have the key.

As Mu Mingtang said, she looked around to see if there were any iron wires or hooks around that they could use.

While looking for the necessary items, Mu Mingtang addressed Xie Xuanchen: You should also help me search for something to open the lock. Even barbed wire is fine. Ah~ Its such a pity that I didnt wear that thin hairpin today. The hairpins on me are all thicker than needed, and they cant be used. Ughh

However, Xie Xuanchen stood still. He bent down to closely examine the lock and the chain.

Lock was not directly used on handles of the door as the door was too big. There was a chain going through the handles and then a lock clamped on the ends of the chain.

Xie Xuanchen used his hand to pick up the iron chain and then slowly straightened one of the links which made it up.

When Mu Mingtang, who was searching for something to unlock the gate lock, didnt hear any reply from Xie Xuanchen, she turned around. As a result, she happened to see Xie Xuanchen casually breaking off one of the links of the chain.

Mu Mingtang was stunned, and watched helplessly as Xie Xuanchen casually pulled the iron chain away with a loud noise, and soon the iron lock fell to the ground.

After finis.h.i.+ng his task, Xie Xuanchen looked at dumbfounded Mu Mingtang with an innocent look. Okay~ Its open.

Mu Mingtang, who was still in shock, couldnt utter a single word and looked at Xie Xuanchen without blinking her eyes.

If this kind of thing hadnt happened in front of her eyes, she wouldnt believe it at all Mu Mingtang silently closed her mouth thinking:Why did I waste my time looking for something when the ready-made lock destroyer is standing right in front of me?!

As they opened the gate before anyone could come, they successfully escaped from the palace.

As Xie Xuanchen had said before, they only had to walk a short distance before they blended into the bustling local main street. Despite all the hustle and bustle of the street, a joyful feeling spread inside Mu Mingtangs heart. There were no servants who followed them at every step, and no guards to clear the path in advance.

Mu Mingtang often shopped when her parents were alive, but after she was adopted by the Jiang family, she had to stay inside the Jiang mansion, and even when she married Xie Xuanchen, she couldnt walk around the bustling streets as she wished. It was clearly a scene she was accustomed to in the past, but seeing it now, it seemed to have been centuries away from her.

Mu Mingtang got emotional for a while, but she seemed to have thought about something and sincerely asked Xie Xuanchen: Our house is so close to the main street, and the back door is still wide open. Will someone secretly enter the palace from that gate?

NoWho dares to enter my palace to steal things? Xie Xuanchen replied with his usual arrogance.

Thats true. Mu Mingtang thought about it and immediately let go of her worries and immersed herself in shopping happily.
