Chapter 127: Beauty is not as good as Yun Wansheng

Mu Xingci raised his eyes and looked at the girl opposite him again. The girl was undoubtedly beautiful, but her beauty was embellished with a pile of rouge and powder.

How could such a beauty be compared with his Wan Sheng? That woman was so fresh and refined even without makeup. Just based on the cold, arrogant and free-spirited temperament she exuded, she was not comparable to any ordinary woman.

Especially after not seeing her for more than a year, when he saw her again, her face had become more mature and capable than before, which made him feel happy and pleased every time he saw her.

The woman in front of him was not very old, but she was mature and charming beyond her age. This maturity was completely different from Yun Wansheng's.

The maturity of this woman is the charm displayed by being accustomed to the worldly affairs of men and women, while the maturity of Yun Wansheng is the calmness and composure that comes from being accustomed to the ups and downs of life.

"Miss Cui, I'm not feeling well today. Please go back first! I'll have someone take you there."

Mu Xingci couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart in the end. Before he could even say a few words, all he could think about was that woman.

Cui Xueer was stunned when she heard this: "My Lord, how did I make you unhappy?"

"No, I'll look for you in a couple of days. Just go back now. Come here!"

As he called for someone, Qi Yi walked in. Mu Xingci gave an order and his subordinates took the person away again.

Not long after the brothel girl left, Gu Feicheng came over after hearing the message: "Xingci, what happened? Why did you let that beauty go?"

"You're such a beauty! You're not pretty at all under the bright light. Find her for me again." Mu Xingci's eyes were filled with disgust.

"Isn't this beautiful? I think she's much more beautiful than Yun Wansheng."

"You also said it's gorgeous. I want the natural beauty, not the beauty with elaborate makeup."

"You might as well ask me to find Yun Wansheng for you. You obviously can't forget her, but you still want to make me feel uneasy." Gu Feicheng said bluntly.

"Who said I can't forget her? Don't I just need time?" Mu Xingci rested his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes.

Seeing his good friend who used to be so cheerful and cheerful now so sad, Gu Feicheng's eyes darkened slightly. "Xingci, are you...are you in love with that woman?"

Mu Xingci's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this, and then he opened his starry eyes that were hard to read: "Where did you get the idea that I would fall in love with such a stubborn woman?"

"You act like a lonely man who has lost his lover, so I guess you are in love with the girl." Gu Feicheng nodded seriously.

"Gu Lao San, it's not that I look down on you, but you don't even have a woman, so how do you know what love is? Don't speculate about my affairs."

"How do you know I don't have a woman anymore? Don't look down on people, okay?"

"Oh? Which one is it? Call him over some other day and let me take a look." There was curiosity in Mu Xingci's eyes.

"Uh! She is not from here." Gu Feicheng smiled embarrassedly, a rare moment.

"From the capital?"

"Um!"

"Do you... do both your parents know?"

"I don't know. She's a few years younger than me, and we haven't told our family yet. I want to ask for her hand in marriage when I return to the capital at the end of the year, but I don't know if her family would agree."

"How much younger?" Mu Xingci was even more curious.

"Six years old. She just turned sixteen this year." Gu Feicheng looked at his good brother and said with a guilty heart.

Hearing this, Mu Xingci sneered, "Gu Laosan, I really didn't see that! Aren't you just an old cow eating young grass? Tell me, which girl did you trick into staying here?"

"Hey! What do you mean by an old cow eating young grass? Is six years older considered old? Aren't you five years older than Yun Wansheng? Then what does that mean?" Gu Feicheng retorted unhappily.

"I'm at least one year older than you, which is not too big, it's normal."

"Whether it's normal or not is up to you, so don't blame me." Gu Feicheng rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, don't tell me. It's okay as long as you like each other. You haven't told me which girl she is." Mu Xingci asked with interest.

"I can't tell you this. I will tell you when the time comes." Gu Feicheng smiled mysteriously.

"Get out if you don't want to tell me!" Mu Xingci immediately turned hostile and drove the man away.

"Just go away, and go to sleep quickly! Don't think too much." Gu Feicheng said in a deep voice, and then left his room.

Mu Xingci got up and walked to the bed, took off his clothes and went back to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time that night.

A red sun rises in the distant sky, and the breeze blows across the faces of every early riser.

Several managers and many workers came to Yun Wansheng's house. Yun Wansheng paid them the wages they were owed according to the account books they submitted. She was busy until the afternoon before she finished the work.

"Qingling, I plan to leave here in a few days. Do you want to go with me or stay?" Yun Wansheng asked the maid for her opinion.

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment: "Why would the boss leave for no reason?"

"A war is about to break out here. I'm afraid of danger and want to go to a place farther away from the war." Yun Wansheng said, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

She felt deeply guilty here. She had cruelly killed her own child. And then there was Lu Ke's death and his family's expulsion. These things made her unable to sleep or eat.

She knew clearly that the murderer of the Lu family was that man, but she could do nothing. She couldn't even go to his house to scold him. It was all because of her willfulness that she implicated the Lu family. How could she not feel guilty?

Now she just wanted to recover her health and leave this place immediately, so that she would never see that man again in her life.

"Master, although I have lost my parents, I grew up here and don't want to travel far." Qingling politely refused.

"Okay then! I understand that it's hard to leave your hometown. These few days, you can sort out my clothes and wash those that need to be washed. I will take them away when the time comes." Yun Wansheng smiled indifferently.

"yes!"

For three consecutive days, Yun Wansheng did not leave the house, but on this day she went out. The carriage went all the way to the pawnshop in the city center and she got off.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that there were only a few people in the hall. After they finished their business and left, it was Yun Wansheng's turn.

"Hello, boss. I want to sell the house I live in."

"Is that Madam Yun? Didn't you just buy it not long ago?" The boss recognized the person.

"My hometown asked me to go back, but I might not come back, so this house is useless."

"But this sale won't be the same price you paid for it."

"I know, even a hundred or so taels less is no problem. Please help me sell the house as soon as possible."

"Since you have decided, I will find a buyer for you."

"Thank you!"

After finishing the last thing, Yun Wansheng left the pawnshop and bought some necessities for the journey on the way back.

The house was sold successfully two days later. Yun Wansheng packed her luggage and asked Uncle Liu to move everything into the car and give her a ride.
