Chapter 221 Finally broke off the engagement

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Mu Xingci couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not asking you to change your clothes, I'm asking if you want to go to the bathroom?"

"Uh! Not for now." Yun Wansheng raised the corner of her mouth a little embarrassedly, thinking that she would urinate after he left.

Her injury made her forget that she hadn't urinated for a day and a night. Now that he reminded her, she unconsciously felt the urge to urinate.

"I'm fine now, you can go back." Thinking of this, he started to drive people away.

"No rush, I'll leave after you fall asleep." Mu Xingci sat in front of the bed and looked at her.

"I'm a little sleepy now. Maybe it's because of the medicine?"

"I understand. If you're tired, just go to sleep. You don't need to worry about me."

"I can't sleep if you look at me here. You'd better go back!" Yun Wansheng was really in a hurry now.

"Wan Sheng, I remember you didn't treat me like this last night?" Mu Xingci reminded her kindly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng thought about what happened last night. This thought reminded her of the scene where she grabbed him and didn't let him leave.

"Uh...what did I do last night? Why don't I remember it?" In order not to embarrass herself in front of this man, she could only play dumb.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Xingci laughed instead of getting angry: "Conscienceless woman, are you going to forget all the kindness I've shown you?"

The double entendre made Yun Wansheng shut up. Mu Xingci looked deeply at the woman who avoided his gaze. "Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep!" he said softly, touching her hair.

Yun Wansheng seemed to obediently close her eyes, hoping that the man would leave after she pretended to be asleep.

But she had been waiting for almost quarter of an hour, and there was no sign that the man next to her was going to leave. He could wait, but Yun Wansheng couldn't, and immediately opened her eyes filled with annoyance.

Mu Xingci saw that she was no longer pretending to be asleep and smiled: "Awake?" He did not expose the woman's intention.

"Why are you still here? Go back! Don't you have to attend the morning court tomorrow?"

Yun Wansheng hurriedly said that she could not hold it any longer.

"Do you want to go to the toilet?" The man ignored her and found a step for the woman to go down.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng lost her previous resolve and patience, and simply responded to his words: "Call the maid for me."

"Do I need you to call me a maid when I'm here?" He said with a smile, then lifted the quilt off her, bent down and slowly picked her up, and then carried her behind the screen.

After carefully placing her on the toilet chair, he softly said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded with her head lowered and blushing.

Mu Xingci didn't stay long and went out after he finished speaking, taking into account the woman's embarrassment at the moment.

He stayed on purpose. He wanted to let this woman see that he was serious about her. Once she broke off the engagement, he would come and ask her to marry him.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a painful groan from behind the screen, which made him hurried in.

When he saw the woman slowly standing up, he hurriedly walked towards her: "Don't move! You will stretch the wound." As he said that, he picked her up.

Yun Wansheng looked up at the man's worried face, her eyes darkened slightly, and she let him carry her back to the bed.

Mu Xingci covered her with the quilt: "Go to sleep! I won't disturb your rest. I will come to see you tomorrow night."

"You don't have to come here every day. It's not good if people see us." Yun Wansheng refused reluctantly.

"You have no say in whether I come or not. Go to sleep!" The man said domineeringly, kissed her lips, and then left her room with reluctance in his eyes.

Yun Wansheng watched him leave, and felt inexplicably empty in her heart, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After seven days of recuperation, Yun Wansheng's arrow wound has basically healed. The medicinal herbs in the palace are truly extraordinary. If it were ordinary herbs, she might not be able to recover in half a month.

These past few days, Mu Xingci would come over to talk to her every night without fail. At first, she didn't want to pay attention to him, hoping that this man would give up.

But he seemed to be unable to see my indifference towards him and still came here every day. If I ignored him, he would just talk about his own things.

Five days later, Yun Wansheng softened her heart and started talking to him so that he, the regent, would not feel too embarrassed.

That morning, Yun Wansheng was recuperating at home when she suddenly saw her elder brother walking in with a smile on his face.

"Little sister, I have good news for you. The Duke's Mansion has just sent someone to cancel the engagement."

Yun Wansheng was stunned at first, then she jumped out of bed in surprise: "Really? They really came to cancel the engagement?"

"Really! I have returned the betrothal gifts to them. From now on, our two families have no relationship anymore." Shangguan Lan's heart finally settled down.

"It's good to retreat! Brother, how is Tian Jinfeng's injury?" Yun Wansheng asked.

"Although his arm has been stitched, he has suffered a permanent disability. It will probably be difficult for him to fight in the battlefield in the future." Shangguan Lan said with regret.

"I feel really bad that he ended up like this." Yun Wansheng said apologetically.

"Little sister, don't sympathize with him yet. I think after today, your reputation as a jinx will spread throughout the capital." Shangguan Lan said worriedly.

"Go ahead and spread it! I'm not afraid. Once you get married and I'm gone, who will remember who I am?" Yun Wansheng said indifferently.

"Oh! You are so heartless. If it were another woman, she would have committed suicide long ago."

"That's because they can't get over it!"

The successful cancellation of the engagement relieved the brother and sister of their psychological pressure, and they were naturally happy when talking and laughing.

That night, Yun Wansheng had just come out of the shower when there was a knock on the door. She happened to be at the door, so she didn't think much about it. She thought it was the maid waiting outside, so she naturally opened the door.

But when the door opened, she saw Mu Xingci, who couldn't possibly have come so early! This made her look slightly stunned.

"You...why are you here so early?"

"Are you unhappy that I came early?" Mu Xingci reached out and pushed her aside, then walked into her room as if it was a matter of course.

Yun Wansheng closed the door and turned to look at him: "If you come so early and others see you, it will be bad for both you and me."

"What's wrong?" Mu Xingci stepped forward and pulled the woman who disliked him into his arms.

The man's approach made Yun Wansheng's heart beat faster and she tried to push him away with both hands: "Let me go first."

"No, I've been holding you back for days." Mu Xingci hugged her tightly, lowered his head and buried it in the woman's shoulder, absorbing the fragrance of the woman who had just come out of the shower.

Yun Wansheng felt the man's touch on her neck, her eyes dimmed slightly: "Mu Xingci, can you respect me a little?"

Her words made the man pause, then he straightened up and looked at her: "Wan Sheng, I am doing this because I like you. I don't mean to disrespect you."
