Chapter 104 Your woman seems unfamiliar with you

Yun Wansheng turned her head to look at the annoyed man: "Although you didn't kill my grandfather, it was also related to you. If you hadn't taken Wanchun to the other courtyard, my grandfather wouldn't have died."

In short, she would not give this dog lord the chance to get close to her.

From the way he just protected me at all costs, it was not difficult to see that this man still had not given up on me, otherwise he would not have reacted like that immediately.

"Yun Wansheng, what you said is so unreasonable. If your grandfather hadn't begged me to take you in, you would all be alive and well now.

Now that he's dead, shouldn't he also bear half the responsibility? "Mu Xingci was stung by the woman's words and couldn't help but retort.

Yun Wansheng listened to the man's almost argumentative words and felt like hitting him. However, he was wearing armor, so her blows wouldn't hurt. This made her push and hit him a few times. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you saying that my grandfather deserved to die?"

Mu Xing refused to tolerate the woman's pushing and hitting. It didn't hurt anyway, so he let her vent her anger. Seeing that she stopped hitting him, he held her little hand and kneaded it a few times.

"That's not my intention. I'm also very sad about your grandfather's death. After all, he was your only relative. How could I wish him dead?"

Yun Wansheng pulled her hand away with all her strength: "My Lord, everything has passed. We should not have any contact in the future. I am living well without you. I hope you will not bother me again."

Mu Xingci stared into the woman's emotionless eyes, feeling a tightness in his heart. "Okay! I won't disturb you."

People who are used to being proud have stronger self-esteem. This woman hates him so much, so how could he, a noble marquis, always go after her?

He then stopped the carriage and left.

Yun Wansheng felt relieved to see him leave tactfully, but she was also a little sad.

Not long after returning home, Lu Ke came, and Yun Wansheng knew why he came.

"Yun Wansheng, didn't you say you were a widow? What about Mu Xinghan? Why did he say you are his woman?" Lu Ke asked with a slightly gloomy expression.

"I didn't lie to you, my mother's family is in Beijing, and I met him there. We had a very good relationship back then.

Just because my family was a merchant family, his family did not agree to our marriage. In order to cut off the thoughts between us, my family married me to the southwest.

I didn't expect to run into him here after all these twists and turns." Yun Wansheng had no choice but to continue lying like this, otherwise how could she explain their relationship clearly.

"No wonder he reacted so strongly when he saw you. It seems he still hasn't let you go." Lu Ke believed it a little.

"I didn't expect him to help me."

"Compared to him, I'm kind of useless. I watched you being bullied but couldn't help." Lu Ke's eyes were filled with guilt.

As a member of the Lu family, they knew very well what they should not do. If they really took action to protect her, what awaited them would be rumors all over the city.

"Young Master, there is no need to feel guilty. Keeping silent is the greatest protection for me. Otherwise, we will no longer be able to do business together." Yun Wansheng also understood this.

It is a rule that the people should not fight against the officials. No matter how rich and powerful you are, as long as it involves the officials, you are nothing.

"Yun Wansheng, now that he is here, will you...will you still rekindle your relationship with him?" Lu Ke chose his words carefully.

"No! Someone of his status is not something I can reach." Yun Wansheng said firmly.

Lu Ke was relieved after hearing this, but he still asked his concern: "Before you broke up, did you really like him?"

Yun Wansheng's eyes paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It's all in the past. I don't love anyone else now. I only love my deceased husband. He was the only man who cared deeply about me."

The ambiguous words and the rejection of any man's advances made Lu Ke speechless.

The next day, Yun Wansheng prepared the donation and went to the government office. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the yamen, she saw several merchants coming out, who probably also came to pay donations.

But when they saw Yun Wansheng, their expressions were self-evident, as if they knew something.

Yun Wansheng ignored their ambiguous looks and entered the yamen. When she arrived at the office, she quickly handed in the banknotes.

As she walked down the stairs, two people came towards her. This made her pause for a moment, and then she knelt and saluted: "Greetings, Governor."

Gu Feicheng glanced at his good brother who was being ignored by this woman, and amusement flashed in his eyes: "Miss Yun, there's no need to be polite!"

"General, you are busy, goodbye!" After saying this, he left the yamen without even looking at the marquis.

Gu Feicheng turned around and looked at the woman's disappearing back, and said with a smile: "Xingci, didn't you say she was your woman? Why does it seem like she doesn't seem to be familiar with you?"

Mu Xingci was already a little annoyed because he was ignored by that woman, and now this brother was teasing him, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"You know nothing! Don't you know that the more a woman ignores you, the more it means our relationship is different?"

"Oh? Tell me, how different are you?"

"Want to know?"

"certainly!"

Mu Xingci's eyebrows were slightly cold as he looked into his inquisitive eyes: "Wait until you get all her information for me, then I will consider whether to tell you."

"That's easy. I'll give you accurate information in half an hour." Gu Feicheng promised, patting his chest.

Yun Wansheng went to the workshop absent-mindedly. Seeing the workers working diligently, she felt relieved.

Then she went to the shop again and found Lu Ke there: "Why are you here too?"

"Have you forgotten that today is the day for reconciliation? How can I not come?" Lu Ke smiled gently.

"Look at my memory. I was thinking about it last night! Let's go to the back hall to talk."

The two went to the back hall one after another. In order to avoid suspicion, Yun Wansheng did not close the door.

"This month's sales are a little lower than last month." Lu Ke said.

"It's normal. All commodities will be reduced in price right after the New Year. It will be fine after a while. Let's start now!" Yun Wansheng took out the account book from the drawer.

Lu Ke nodded, sat next to her, spread out the account book in his hand, and carefully checked with her.

When they found a discrepancy, Lu Ke approached Yun Wansheng and showed her his account book. "Why are there fifty lamps missing between the inventory and the shelves for number 13?"

"Let me think about it." Yun Wansheng frowned and thought, they both kept their own accounts, how come I was only missing thirty items?

Lu Ke looked at the woman who was thinking hard with her head down with gentle eyes. They were very close to each other. To outsiders, it was more than just close, it could be said to be intimate contact.

This was the scene Mu Xingci saw when he entered, and the cold aura around him instantly erupted: "What are you doing?"

His sudden cold question startled the two of them. Lu Ke subconsciously took a few steps back: "General of the Zhen Army?"

Seeing his eyes that looked like he was catching someone having an affair, Yun Wansheng quickly calmed down and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
