I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 526

Mu Mingtang sat upright, glanced at him coldly with lowered eyes as she said, “I just wanted to say that I’m pregnant.”

Xie Xuanchen was stunned. He was entirely confused from his brain to his limbs. It wasn’t till a bit later that he felt himself slowly coming back to life. At this time, he found that his hands were still around Mu Mingtang’s shoulders, but he didn’t even dare to move them, “Are you pregnant? Then when I hugged you just now, was I too strong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Xie Xuanchen finally understood why, when he came back, the servants looked at him as if they were looking at a dangerous person. Xie Xuanchen thought about his destructive power since he was a child. Even though the strength he exerted just now was neither weak nor strong, he felt like he should keep his distance from Mu Mingtang.

Mu Mingtang watched helplessly as Xie Xuanchen went from being completely stunned to becoming happy and finally seeming cautious, for fear that he would accidentally hurt her. She gave him a funny shove and said, “Things are not that exaggerated.”

As a result, Xie Xuanchen hurriedly held Mu Mingtang’s hand, not even daring to speak loudly, “I’m thick-skinned and impenetrable. If you want to touch me, let me know, but you must not hurt yourself.”

Mu Mingtang was helpless. She thought the servants were being cautious enough, but she didn’t expect Xie Xuanchen to be even more fearful of her ‘fragility’. She didn’t want to talk to this irrational person, so she stood up and said, “Don’t be stupid, I’m not made of porcelain, how can it be so serious?”

Xie Xuanchen saw her standing up and quickly stepped forward to support her. He was even worried about Mu Mingtang standing on the ground by herself, “Are you tired of standing? How about I carry you?”

Mu Mingtang glared at him angrily, “Are you finished? I told you it’s fine, don’t come over and bother me.”

After Xie Xuanchen learned that Mu Mingtang was pregnant, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy as he fussed even more than the palace servants.

Ma Chong and his advisers were busy organising household registration and redistributing land in Youzhou from the moment they opened their eyes to the moment they went to sleep. They worked exhaustingly, thinking that they could hold on for a few more days and wait until Xie Xuanchen came.

As a result, they waited for a full month before Xie Xuanchen came.

Ma Chong was also puzzled. It was merely 500 miles from Zhending Mansion to Youzhou, but did it require a month of travel to come here?

Ma Chong couldn’t bear it anymore and sent someone to the Zhending Mansion to inquire. After asking about the situation, he found out that the Princess was pregnant, whereas Xie Xuanchen was accompanying her.

Ma Chong, who was so busy that he could only sleep for 2 hours every night and couldn’t even go home, sighed angrily.

At the beginning of August, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang had a difficult time before arriving in Youzhou.

In fact, Mu Mingtang was already 3 months pregnant in July. It stood to reason that the foetus was stable by then and was no longer prone to miscarriage, so it was safe. However, Xie Xuanchen didn’t listen. He had to let Mu Mingtang stay where he was for another month. Only after repeatedly confirming with the little Taoist priest that there would be no problems with the journey did he carefully guide her throughout the travels.
