I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Ch.183 Aromatic Ball (4)

Xie Xuanchen had always been someone reliable on serious matters, and Mu Mingtang immediately let go of her worries when she heard him and waited for his solution wholeheartedly. Mu Mingtang applied medicine to his wounds one by one, wrapped them properly, and then rolled down his sleeves as if she was handling something fragile.

"Be careful, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Xie Xuanchen was left extremely speechless. He had never been idle even since he was a child. Later, in the battlefield, his body has suffered injuries of all sizes. This injury was nothing in Xie Xuanchen's eyes, what was all the fuss about?

Xie Xuanchen's words were at the tip of his tongue, but upon seeing Mu Mingtang's nervous expression, he didn't know why he changed his speech and said vaguely: "I’m fine, still can bear it."

Mu Mingtang felt even more distressed when she heard him, with her eyebrows furrowed: "Then we have to be more frequent in changing the dressing. The imperial physician advised us to change it twice a day, I think changing it three times a day, in the morning, afternoon and night should be workable."

Xie Xuanchen's gaze shifted, and he sighed, not knowing what was on his mind. Mu Mingtang found it weird, and asked, "Why are you sighing? You sound regretful?"

Xie Xuanchen shook his head, without a word: "It's nothing."

In fact, Xie Xuanchen was just thinking, why did he plung it down his arm yesterday? He should have targeted his body. It's a pity that he didn't think about the fact that he had to apply medicine at the time.

Naturally, Xie Xuanchen would not tell Mu Mingtang about such thoughts. Mu Mingtang asked twice and couldn’t get anything out of him, she glanced at Xie Xuanchen suspiciously, and no longer hung on to this topic. Mu Mingtang kept away all the items and brought Xie Xuanchen back to bed. He was losing both blood and strength, rest was what he needed most. The incident this morning had messed up his usual schedule, and it was already time for Xie Xuanchen to go back to bed.

After Xie Xuanchen went back to rest, Mu Mingtang had nothing to do, so she started tidying the house. Yesterday, all of a sudden, many people broke into her house, Mu Mingtang was already extremely upset, but it didn't stop there, her door was entirely ruined by those reckless men!

Although someone came to install the door back to its original state soon after, the inside was in a total mess because of that. Mu Mingtang could only tidy it up by herself, Mu Mingtang also took advantage of this opportunity to clear up the furniture in Yulin Hall. Those cumbersome and useless ones, might as well be withdrawn from the space.

Mu Mingtang was too lazy to summon the maids, so she rummaged through the area. She sighed when she opened one of the cabinets. The cabinet was big and heavy. Mu Mingtang felt that it was too bulky and it wasn’t used frequently, but inside of it, why was there an aromatic ball?

Mu Mingtang picked up the copper aromatic ball and looked at it. No matter how the copper ball spun, the spoon that had the spices in it remained parallel.

Mu Mingtang was no stranger to this. She had owned many similar aromatic balls, but they were all either gold or silver, and the workmanship was much more fine than this one. This type of aromatic balls could be hung between the bed tents or used as an accessory. It could be left aside and used as a diffuser or to burn incense, along with its exquisite appearance, it was a popular item amongst women.

Mu Mingtang was no exception. Xie Xuanchen always bought in bulk, he had prepared a ton of accessories for her to go with her outfits. In addition, Mu Mingtang had basically collected all the tulip aromatic balls on the market in order to gather the emperor's wool a few days ago. However, Mu Mingtang was well aware that the items in her treasury were not hers.

Besides, Mu Mingtang leaned close and gave it a sniff, she was pretty sure that it was already burnt inside. This was even more unusual. Even if Mu Mingtang had accidentally forgotten one of her aromatic balls in some place, she would not throw something on fire in a wooden cupboard. She is extremely wary of fire and would never make such a mistake.
