Chapter 232 Wife and Husband

When Yun Wansheng saw this, she quickly put her hands under his armpits and said, "Stand up slowly." Her tone was full of worry.

Mu Xingci felt the woman's care and concern, and his heart was warm. Even the pain under his knees was ignored by him.

"I'm fine!" He said, holding her hand and slowly standing up.

After he stood still, Yun Wansheng brushed off the fallen snow on him, and then helped him into the room: "Sit for a while, I'll go wash your handkerchief and wipe your face."

"Yeah!" Mu Xingci responded with a slight smile on his lips. The huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time seemed to disappear out of thin air, making him feel much more relaxed physically and mentally.

Yun Wansheng walked up to him with a hot cotton towel in her hands, looking at him reproachfully. She raised her hand to wipe the man's face, muttering something to herself.

"You went to kneel outside without telling me, I thought you left! I don't usually see you so obedient, but this time you are very obedient. Aren't you afraid that my two maids will see you and laugh at you?"

Mu Xingci listened to the woman's words which seemed to be blaming him, but in fact they were full of heartache for him, which made his smile deepen. He hugged the person in front of him with one hand, held the little hand on his face with the other hand, and then pulled the person closer to himself, fitting closely with her.

"Can you blame me for this? You were about to break up with me, and if I didn't obey you, you would leave again? I only knelt after I drove away those two maids." Mu Xingci said with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Yun Wansheng sighed inwardly when she heard this. This man really understood her.

"Does your leg still hurt?"

"It hurts!" Mu Xingci finally made this woman feel sorry for him, and he would not let go of this opportunity.

"Let me show you your legs." Yun Wansheng pushed him away, then squatted in front of him and rolled up the man's trouser legs.

When he saw the redness and swelling on his knee, there was a trace of regret in his eyes: "Wait a moment, I'll put a hot towel on you to get rid of the cold."

"No, it won't hurt after a while. I'm a grown man and I'm not that delicate." Mu Xingci said indifferently.

"It's better to apply it, so as not to cause a chronic disease." Yun Wansheng didn't listen to him and went behind the screen to pour half a basin of hot water.

Mu Xingci did not refuse this time and accepted the woman's kindness to him calmly.

After both his legs were covered, Yun Wansheng straightened his pants.

After the hot compress, Mu Xingci's legs felt much more comfortable, and he happily pulled the woman into his arms.

"Wansheng, I will talk to my mother about our marriage when I return home."

"Will your mother agree to you marrying me? Don't forget that I have the reputation of being a jinx." Yun Wansheng said worriedly.

"You don't need to worry about that. Don't forget that in the eyes of the world, I am a man with a hidden illness. We are a good match."

Hearing this, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but laugh in his arms: "It seems you have planned this a long time ago."

"You still understand your husband." Mu Xingci also smiled.

"Shame on you! I haven't even married you yet! You're already sleeping with me."

"It's only a matter of time. Come on! Call me husband and let me hear it first."

Yun Wansheng looked at the man's teasing and glared at him shyly: "I won't scream."

"My dear, be good. Just call me once. I have been waiting for several years." Mu Xingci stroked the woman's cheek and coaxed her softly.

Yun Wansheng suddenly heard the man call her "wife" and smiled uncomfortably: "You should call me Wansheng, it sounds more intimate. "Wife and husband" sounds too distant."

Mu Xingci pinched her face lightly with amusement: "You'll get used to it. Today I just want to hear the word 'husband'. Madam, can you please have pity on your husband?"

Yun Wansheng looked at the man pretending to be pitiful with affection in her eyes. After a slight hesitation, she parted her red lips and said awkwardly, "Husband!"

After she finished speaking, she felt blushes creeping up on both sides of her cheeks. It was really difficult for her, a modern person, to call an ancient person her husband.

Mu Xingci looked at the woman with tenderness in his eyes, whose face was blushing because of the word "husband". His thin lips couldn't help but grin: "It sounds so nice!" As he said that, he kissed the woman he finally caught with some excitement.

But when he was about to kiss the woman deeply, the person in his arms pushed him away vigorously, leaving him confused and unable to help but let her go: "What's wrong?"

"I... I just ate something and can't kiss." Yun Wansheng blushed and tried to push him away.

"I think it's a serious matter. Don't say you just ate something. I can still kiss you even if you haven't brushed your teeth for a few days. Let's continue. Don't spoil the fun again."

Seeing that the bastard was about to kiss her again, Yun Wansheng blocked his mouth with her small hand: "Wait a minute! I'm going to rinse my mouth, so that we can kiss without any psychological burden and feel comfortable when we do."

Mu Xingci was amused by the woman's words and said more bluntly: "Okay, for the pleasure of our kiss, let's go rinse our mouths together." After saying that, he took the woman's hand and went behind the screen to wash up with a funny look on his face.

After they were all washed, the man couldn't wait to push the woman over the bathtub and kiss her.

Yun Wansheng felt the pleasure brought to her by the man, and her red lips responded to him passionately.

When the two were kissing passionately and their clothes were about to be taken off, they suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and then a man's voice came into their ears: "Little sister!"

The word "little sister" made the two people who were hugging each other tightly dare not move at the same time.

"Let your brother go out." Mu Xingci whispered in the woman's ear.

Yun Wansheng's heart was pounding, as if she had been caught cheating. "Brother, I'm taking a shower. If you have anything to say, talk to me later!"

Shangguan Lan looked towards the screen, frowning slightly. "Little sister, I heard from Butler Chen that the Regent had arrived. I didn't see him in the courtyard, so I thought he had come to your place. Have you seen him?"

"Uh! He just left." Yun Wansheng glared at the man who had just kissed her.

Shangguan Lan looked at the screen with a slightly deep look in his eyes: "Since he has left, I will not look for him anymore." After saying that, he left the room with a look of disappointment in his eyes, and considerately closed the door for her.

As soon as he left, Mu Xingci smiled and said, "Madam, let's continue!"

Without the interference of outsiders, the two of them indulged in each other's love. From behind the screen to the table, and then to the bed, there were traces of their love everywhere. It was not until the afternoon that the man reluctantly left Shangguan Mansion.

Yun Wansheng rested for a while before getting dressed and tidying herself up. After she was dressed, she went to the main courtyard next door.

After asking the servants, Yun Wansheng went to the study to find Shangguan Lan.

"Brother! What are you busy with?" Yun Wansheng asked with an embarrassed smile.

"Deal with some military matters." Shangguan Lan looked up at his younger sister who came in.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Lan put down his pen, stood up, walked to her, and sat down with her on the guest chair beside her.

Yun Wansheng paused for a moment before she raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Brother, Mu Xingci proposed to me again today, and I...I agreed to him."

Shangguan Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes darkened for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, they were gentle and bright.
