Chapter 24 The Bold Concubine

The next morning, Yun Wansheng had breakfast and went to Fanhua Brothel again. Wang Ma naively thought that she went to see Yun Dashan.

After watching her leave, Wang Ma had just returned to the courtyard when someone knocked on the gate: "Wang Ma, open the door!"

"Xiao Fei?" Aunt Wang recognized the voice and quickly opened the gate.

"Guard Xiao, what are you doing here?"

"The captain of the guards asked me to come and ask about the concubine's situation. How has she been doing recently? Does she feel any regrets?" Xiao Fei asked as he followed orders.

"Uh! Her grandfather hasn't been feeling well these days, so she goes to stay with him every day." Aunt Wang said with a wry smile.

The concubine hadn't repented at all these days, so how could she reply? If she replied truthfully, the Marquis would definitely not come.

"You mean her grandfather has been sick these days?" Xiao Fei asked in surprise.

"Yes! Miss Yun came back after half a day and stayed at home in the afternoon." Aunt Wang tried her best to speak well of the concubine.

"That's not right? When I was ordered to deliver dessert to her grandfather the day before yesterday, her grandfather was not sick at that time. Aunt Wang, you shouldn't be helping her to deceive people, right?" Xiao Fei asked with serious suspicion.

"Guard Xiao, please don't say such things. I have always been loyal to the Marquis and have no other intentions. In order to make them reconcile as soon as possible, I persuade Miss Yun every day." Aunt Wang expressed her loyalty with a slightly panicked look.

"Auntie Wang, it seems that you are really old. You don't know where Miss Yun went, and you didn't notice anything unusual. If something happened to her, I wonder how you will explain to the Marquis. I will go to her grandfather's house now. It would be best if it is as you said." Xiao Fei said in a stern tone, and then rode away on horseback.

Thinking about Guard Xiao's words, Wang Ma rubbed her hands helplessly, "No way, right? If she doesn't go to her grandfather, where else can she go? Miss Yun wouldn't lie to me."

Mu Xingci in the General's Mansion didn't know what was happening in the villa. At this moment, he was practicing with a spear in the garden. His smooth and flowing spear skills made him look powerful and majestic.

Qi Yi and several guards on the side saw this scene, and cheers and applause rang out from time to time, with admiration in their eyes. The master's superb martial arts were highly recognized by everyone in the military camp.

After Mu Xingci finished practicing his spear skills, Qi Yi stepped forward and handed him a cotton towel, "My Lord, please wipe your sweat."

Mu Xingci took it casually and wiped it lightly. The weather was getting cooler now and it wasn't that hot.

"Is Xiao Fei coming back?" Mu Xingci asked casually.

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon." He estimated the time.

Mu Xingci didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the sword on the table and walked into the training ground again. The sharp sword energy with a dragon-like roar spread all around.

Just when he was halfway through his practice, Xiao Fei came running over from a distance: "My Lord, this is bad!"

This sentence successfully made Mu Xingci stop and look at the person who came with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

"My Lord, something bad has happened. Miss Yun is missing." Xiao Fei reported while running and came close to his master.

Seeing his subordinate so impatient, Mu Xingci's face suddenly darkened: "Xiao Fei, what did I teach you normally? Even in the most urgent situation, you must never panic and lose the composure a soldier should have.

If the enemy spies saw you like this, it would definitely bring disaster. Besides, that person is just an insignificant concubine, why are you so panicked!

"Your Majesty is right. I know my crime." Xiao Fei quickly stood up straight and bowed to apologize.

"Be careful next time. Tell me! What happened to that woman?" Mu Xingci put his sword into the scabbard with a seemingly indifferent look.

"My Lord, this morning I followed your instructions and went to the other courtyard to inquire about the concubine's recent situation. However, I found that Miss Yun had already left.

The subordinate asked Wang Ma about the whereabouts of her mistress, but Wang Ma said that she had gone to her grandfather's house early in the morning these few days and said that her grandfather was sick and needed her care.

As soon as the subordinate heard this, he felt something was wrong, because the Marquis had just asked him to visit her grandfather two days ago, and Miss Yun's grandfather was not unwell at that time.

After the subordinates found something wrong, they hurried to Yun Dashan. Sure enough, Miss Yun had only been there once three days ago and had not been there since then.

She goes out for half a day every day and returns to the villa after noon. During this period, no one knows where she goes for most of the day?" Xiao Fei said truthfully with a serious expression.

After listening to him, Mu Xingci's face became increasingly gloomy. "It seems that she lived very comfortably while I was away."

"My Lord, do you want to send someone to look for Miss Yun?" Qi Yi asked.

"No need. Won't she be back in the afternoon? Let's pretend we don't know for now. Xiao Fei, follow her secretly tomorrow morning and see where she goes. Once you know where she's going, report back to me immediately." Mu Xingci said with cold eyes.

"yes!"

"Go to the other courtyard now and tell Aunt Wang not to let anything slip."

"Yes! I'll go now." Xiao Fei responded and left the general's mansion again.

Mu Xingci narrowed his eyes as he watched his disappearing figure, his voice extremely indifferent: "Yun Wansheng, you'd better not do anything out of line, otherwise, this marquis will never let you off easily."

Qi Yi sensed his master's anger and cautiously advised, "My Lord, you don't have to worry too much about Miss Yun. I think she's just throwing a tantrum and trying to get your attention by leaving home for half a day."

"Is that so? But she disobeyed me like that, why did she think I would forgive her and try to please her? If she really thought that way, then she thinks too highly of herself.

"I have no romantic feelings for her, so how could I possibly try to curry favor with a lowly concubine like her? If she does anything to harm me this time, don't blame me for being ruthless." There was a hint of viciousness in Mu Xingci's eyes.

"My Lord, what are you going to do with her?" Qi Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Imprison her! With her personality, I can't guarantee that if I let her go, she won't spread rumors about me. The only way to prevent unknown consequences is to lock her up."

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his master would arrange the concubine in this way. This made him feel sorry for Miss Yun and hoped that she would not make any big mistake.

As time passed little by little, it was the next day. Yun Wansheng left the house as usual, without noticing the complicated and resentful look in Wang Ma's eyes behind her.

Yun Wansheng arrived at the Fanhua brothel, and the madam smiled warmly: "Miss Yun, you are here?"

"Hello, Mother Lin!"

"It's fine! Our brothel made a lot of money last night, and it's all thanks to you. Miss Yun is our lucky star."

"Mother Lin, you're joking. You're the one who manages it better." Yun Wansheng said politely.
