Chapter 228 You Are Making Things Difficult for Me

Mu Xingci heard this and paused while holding her hand: "What do you want to do to marry me willingly?"

Yun Wansheng's eyes paused for a moment, and then a hint of cruelty flashed in them: "You can ask me to marry you, as long as you kneel outside my door for a night and I will marry you. If you can't do it, don't mention it again."

This bastard has always been arrogant and conceited. He will not put down his pride and kneel down just to marry a little girl. She just wants him to give up and stop bothering her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci stood up and looked at her with cold eyes: "Yun Wansheng, do you know what you are saying?"

Obviously, he didn't expect that this woman would give him such a difficult problem, making him, a regent, kneel down for a whole night to propose to her. If this were to get out, he would lose all his face.

"Mu Xingci, I know exactly what I'm talking about. Ever since we met, you've been looking down on me, a singing girl, with such a condescending attitude.

When I was with you, I had to endure your contempt and verbal humiliation every day, and I also had to endure the punishment and intimidation you would impose on me at any time if you were not happy with me.

I thought if I learned to be more obedient, I would no longer be looked down upon by you! But in the end, that was the beginning of my being completely looked down upon by you.

Even if I'm pregnant, you can still abuse and insult me ​​mercilessly.

This is not enough. Even though you knew that I had just had an abortion, you still concealed the Lu family's affairs, which made me suffer from the condemnation of my conscience both physically and mentally.

You are so cruel and merciless in taking revenge on me. Aren't you relying on your high status to do what you want to me?

If you didn't have this status, do you think I would tolerate you? So, if you want me to marry you, you have to lower your proud head.

If you can't do that, then we can't discuss anything." Yun Wansheng stared at the man standing in front of the bed with tears in her eyes.

Mu Xingci looked at the woman with a slightly painful expression as she listed his past mistakes, which made his heart ache.

What he feared most was that this woman would expose his past, making it impossible for him to confront her with a clear conscience.

"Wan Sheng, I know I have wronged you before, and I admit my mistake to you.

Can you change the conditions? As long as you don’t make me kneel, I can agree to anything you ask for.”

Mu Xingci discussed it in a gentle tone, then sat back on the bed and held the woman's hand.

"No change! Mu Xingci, I have already given you a lot of face and didn't ask you to kneel outside the mansion." Yun Wansheng refused in a firm tone.

What I want is what he can't do, and if he can do it, why don't I mention it?

Seeing her determination, Mu Xingci pursed his lips slightly and said, "You are making things difficult for me."

"I'm going to make things difficult for you." Yun Wansheng said without any sympathy.

Seeing her uncompromising attitude, Mu Xingci's face darkened slightly: "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." After saying that, he left the woman's room in a bad mood.

Yun Wansheng watched him leave with a cold face and sneered, "Arrogant dog man."

A seemingly ordinary day passed by, but early the next morning, several bells were heard coming from the palace.

As the bell rang, which represented the passing of a great emperor, all the people in the capital, whether on the streets or at home, knelt down and cried bitterly to mourn their retired emperor.

The death of the retired emperor forced Shangguan Lan’s marriage to be postponed until the end of the year.

If it weren't for the revenge of that arrow, Yun Wansheng would have returned to Yanzhou first.

Seven days later, the retired emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Mu Xingci was very busy during this period and sometimes even lived in the little emperor's bedroom.

Yun Wansheng went to the door of the Shangshu Mansion to wait for Lin Yao these two days, but she didn't wait for a long time. I think she knew that she couldn't do anything rash at this time, so Yun Wansheng had to come again another day, without knowing that someone was following her in secret.

After she had walked for a while, two little boys about seven or eight years old came towards her. They looked exactly the same and were obviously twins, which made people feel curious.

When the twins walked past, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but look back to look at them again.

But when she turned around, she glanced behind her inadvertently and suddenly saw a man in a short and tight-fitting suit not far away pause, then continued walking towards her.

Yun Wansheng looked at the man who was getting closer with a look of suspicion in her eyes. Why did she feel like this man was following her?

Suspicious, he didn't move, thinking of waiting for the man to come forward and see what he would do.

Unexpectedly, the man just glanced at him naturally: "What are you looking at? If you look again, I will beat you up!"

After saying this rudely, the man walked past him, causing Yun Wansheng to touch his nose in embarrassment. Was he wrong?

That afternoon, it was a cold and snowy day. Mu Xingci, who had lived in the palace for two days, took a carriage back to the Regent's Palace.

Just as he drank a cup of hot tea, Li Hong came and said, "Lord Regent, Miss Lin did not leave the house today, but I saw the man from that day again.

This time I followed him secretly for a while, but when we reached a long street, he suddenly found me behind him. I was afraid of alerting him, so I pretended to walk in front of him.

When I tried to follow him later, I found he was gone. "I lost him, and it was my fault. I beg the Regent to punish me."

After listening to him, Mu Xingci waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Just keep an eye on Lin Yao first! That person will definitely go there again."

"yes!"

"Back off!"

After the person left, Mu Xingci's eyes darkened as he wondered who that person was and why he was staring at Lin Yao.

After a day and night of heavy snow, the entire capital's houses, trees and bridges were covered in white snow, giving the city a unique and beautiful view.

In such weather, few people go out, and they are all sweeping the snow in front of their doors.

Yun Wansheng sent two maids to the front to help sweep the snow, and she would sweep her own yard later.

After they all left, he changed his appearance and sneaked out of the house.

Based on her understanding of an unfaithful woman, Lin Yao would definitely take advantage of this weather to go out and meet her adulterer, because only in this kind of weather would she feel the safest.

It would be best if I could see with my own eyes today whether the two of them are committing adultery in secret. Only when I am sure that they are having an affair can I retaliate against her.

This time, Yun Wansheng only waited near the man's residence. Not long after, she saw Lin Yao's carriage parked at the door of the man's house.

Seeing her walk in with a slightly panicked look on her face, Yun Wansheng curled her lips in disdain and then approached the door.

The thief looked at both sides of the street with a guilty conscience, and seeing that no one was passing by, he pushed open a crack in the door and looked inside.

I saw the maid beside Lin Yao standing at the door, occasionally eavesdropping on the movements in the room, and her little face seemed to be stained with a touch of lust.

As she was peeking, she suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder, which scared her so much that she was about to scream out when someone covered her mouth with a hand.

"Yan Li, it's me!"

The familiar voice instantly made Yun Wansheng feel at ease.
