I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 427
There were two reasons as to why Jiang Mingwei came to look for Mu Mingtang today. Firstly, to get back the rank she used to be, and secondly, to find out the reality of the situation in Prince An’s Mansion. In other words, she wanted to know about his physical state and how much he had recovered.
Looking at Mu Mingtang’s expression and condition now, she seemed to have drawn answers for these two questions.
Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt that her good spirits had faded. What was the point of her coming to show off when she was the only one caring about the words she spewed? Jiang Mingwei felt bored, so after she sat for a while, the Princess got up and left.
Mu Mingtang couldn’t be happier, wishing for Jiang Mingwei to go back from wherever she came from. After walking for a bit, when guests outside saw Jiang Mingwei, they smiled and came up to talk to her.
Jiang Mingwei immediately raised her lips and formed a polite and generous smile. Halfway through the talk, Jiang Mingwei turned around in a strange way and saw Mu Mingtang leaning on the seat with her eyes closed, looking weak and unable to bear any thoughts in her mind.
The light coming in from the rear window sprinkled pieces of gold on Mu Mingtang’s sleeves; even the patterns on her dress around her knees seemed to be shimmering with golden light. She sat ever so gracefully despite being in turmoil, like a white magnolia inlaid with gold. Her stature conveyed her demeanour, how she was unparalleled in dignity, born to power and wealth. Like a crabapple after the rain, she shone brightly and it was unbearable.
In the beginning, it was Mu Mingtang who resembled Jiang Mingwei.
Mu Mingtang was sent to the palace as Jiang Mingwei’s stand-in in her previous life, which formed a bad relationship between the two. The two of them were not alike, but because they were born together, they accompanied each other even throughout lifetimes.
These two were like light and shadow, which was why there was always one of them living in the shadow of the other. In their previous lives, the aura of Jiang Mingwei, the ‘dead person’, had always shrouded Mu Mingtang. In this life, even though Jiang Mingwei was not dead, her aura of white moonlight was broken by her own hands.
It turned out that only the ‘dead’ could be perfect, never falling into mortal peril.
In this life, Jiang Mingwei married Xie Xuanji as she wished, but all of his feelings, expectations and fantasies for her were also extinguished after their married life.
What Xie Xuanji liked had always been the ‘Jiang Mingwei’ in his imagination.
On the contrary, Mu Mingtang, who broke away from her identity as the Second Young Lady of the Jiang family, suddenly shined brightly. She showed her true temperament and hobbies which caused the people in her previous life to not provoke her out of fear and Xie Xuanji’s eyes even flickered to her repeatedly. Xie Xuanchen, who was supposed to die early, ended up developing a romantic relationship with the girl, loving her and depending on her almost morbidly.
If the stand-in was too dazzling, it would in turn suppress the original owner. Nowadays, many people subconsciously placed Mu Mingtang’s preferences on Jiang Mingwei as the latter unknowingly took the role of the stand-in.
