Chapter 203 The Regent Came to the Door in Anger

Although the people outside were talking about this matter, Mu Xingci, who was in the Regent's Palace, was still unaware of this major event. At this time, he was still in his study dealing with piles of official business.

Just as he was working diligently, he suddenly heard Xiao Fei's voice outside the door: "Regent, I have something important to report."

"Come in!" Mu Xingci paused and then put the wolf-hair brush on the pen holder beside him.

As soon as Xiao Fei came in, he stepped forward to greet him with a slightly flustered look on his face. "Your Highness, I just heard a rumor on the street that the young lady of the Shangguan Mansion and Tian Jinfeng of the Duke's Mansion are getting married today."

Mu Xingci was listening with an expressionless face, but when he heard the last sentence, his body trembled slightly, and then he stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" His tone was full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is just a misunderstanding, so I went to Shangguan Mansion and asked the doorman. He said that he did see the Duke personally go to exchange the engagement letter this morning. So, this matter is absolutely true." Xiao Fei's eyes were filled with anger.

How is his master inferior to that old man? That former concubine actually dared to marry someone else under the master's nose. He was so angry watching this. This was too much bullying!

Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci's handsome face instantly turned gloomy and his eyes were cold: "Yun Wansheng!" These three simple words showed that he was burning with anger at this moment.

"Prince Regent, please don't be too angry. That woman is so ungrateful. She didn't even think about it. If you hadn't insisted on letting her elder brother become a second-rank general, where would she be able to be a daughter of an official family, let alone marry her to the Duke's Mansion?

Since that woman is so ungrateful, you might as well remove her brother's general rank as well and have them get out of the capital." Xiao Fei said angrily.

Mu Xingci looked at his subordinates with cold eyes as he complained for him, and he was even more angry in his heart: "Follow me to the Shangguan Mansion!" His voice was cold and emotionless.

He never imagined that he was heartbroken and guilty about that woman all day long, and he was still thinking about her, but she didn't even consider him for a moment.

She knew his feelings for her, but she still deliberately married someone else in front of him. Was she humiliating herself? Or was she deliberately taking revenge on herself?

Qi Yi had just returned from the toilet and saw his master walking out of the room with a furious face. Even Xiao Fei behind him had a face full of anger.

"Regent, what happened?" He instinctively thought something big had happened.

"Follow me to Shangguan Mansion!" Mu Xingci ran straight to the stable.

The three of them, one on each horse, rushed out of the Prince Regent's Palace. Xiao Fei led the way, shouting for people to get out of the way, asking passers-by to avoid the horses on their own. Some who couldn't avoid the horses in time were knocked over by the horses, but this didn't stop the three of them. They only left a message: "Go to the Prince Regent's Palace to collect the silver!"

When passers-by saw their hurried posture, they thought there was some urgent military business, so they rushed in without caring about the safety of the people.

The three of them rode at full speed to Shangguan Mansion. Xiao Fei was the first to jump off his horse. He took two steps at a time and climbed the stairs. He knocked on the door with his big hand without any hesitation.

As soon as the door opened, he kicked the man aside without waiting for the doorman to ask any questions.

Mu Xingci walked into the mansion wearing a purple and gold robe. His handsome face was covered with frost as he walked into the mansion, and all the anger he had on the way was gone.

He had been hurt all over by that woman, and at this moment, the proud him just wanted to retain his last bit of dignity and make it look like he didn't care too much about that woman.

Now, with a steady step and a sharp gaze, he wanted only to ask her face to face why she would rather marry a widower than marry him. Didn't she say she didn't like the rich and powerful? Why was it okay now?

The three of them arrived at the main courtyard, and Xiao Fei shouted, "Shangguan Lan, the Regent has arrived, why don't you come out to greet him?"

Upon hearing this, the maid working in the courtyard quickly put down her work and stepped forward to greet him: "Reporting to the Regent, my master is out."

"What about your young lady?" Mu Xingci asked calmly.

"She is over there in the courtyard. Let me go and call her over for you." As she said this, she was about to go and call someone.

"No need, just lead the way for me."

"Uh! Yes!" Although it was unreasonable, he was the regent and it was not her, a servant, who could stop him.

At this time, Yun Wansheng didn't know that the bastard from the past had come to her house angrily. She was still writing her novel at the table and didn't take the marriage seriously at all. This made her face always smile and she looked like she was in a very good mood.

Just as she was absorbed in writing, the door was gently pushed open. Yun Wansheng thought it was a maid, so she ignored it and continued to sit upright and write.

As the man approached, her peaceful and smiling face fell into his cold gaze.

"Are you in a good mood?" The man's tone was unusually cold.

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Wansheng suddenly looked at the man who had been standing opposite the table without her noticing.

"You...why are you here?" A hint of panic rose unconsciously on the little face.

"I heard that you are getting married soon. As your former lover, I would like to come and congratulate you." Mu Xingci said in a sarcastic tone.

Yun Wansheng clenched the pen in her hand, and a slight smile flashed across her eyes: "Thank you! Now that you know everything, I hope we won't meet again in the future."

Mu Xingci listened to the woman's ruthless words, his eyes hurt slightly, but his voice was cold: "Why would you marry a man like him?"

"Don't you think you're meddling too much?"

"Yun Wansheng! You'd better give me a reason, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yun Wansheng looked at the murderous man in front of her, and she didn't dare to provoke him again: "Why? Of course I like him."

"Like him? As far as I know, Tian Jinfeng is already thirty-two years old, a widower with no wife, not particularly good-looking, and has a bad temper. I wonder what you like about him?"

"My Lord Regent, to like someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to be attracted by a certain aspect of him. Sometimes you just like someone because you like him.

Just like eating fruit, I think sour grapes are delicious, but some people just can't stand sour things. It's the same with people's feelings. Even if that person is not outstanding, there will be people who will see his or her strengths and fall in love with him or her."

"So, I am not even as good as a sour grape?" Mu Xingci stared at the woman in front of him sharply.

"Regent, our affair is a thing of the past. Please respect your status and stop interfering in my affairs." Yun Wansheng said while facing the man's gaze that seemed like he wanted to hit her.

"So you know who I am, and you dare to stab me in front of me? When you do this, have you ever considered my feelings? You don't care about my dignity, so why should I care about you?"

Mu Xingci's eyes were instantly filled with anger at the woman's words. He swept all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground with one hand, and when the woman dodged, he kicked the table over.

"Someone, come here! Smash everything in this room for me."
