Chapter 33: Escape and Climb the Wall and Get Stabbed

When she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt someone pushing her: "Yun Wansheng, wake up, it's time for dinner."

Yun Wansheng opened her eyes and looked at the person, only to see that it was a maid who had washed clothes during the day: "Thank you!" She had to say polite words since the other person was kind enough to invite her to dinner.

"Yun Wansheng, why were you punished?" Ah Xi ate steamed buns while asking about other people's affairs.

Although I don't know where this person came from, I know that she is being punished for washing so many clothes as soon as she arrived.

"The powerful and influential people dislike you and will want to punish you even if you have done nothing wrong." Yun Wansheng combed her long hair and said without saying more.

"Uh! It seems that you have really offended the Marquis. Finding fault with you means that you have made the master very angry." Ah Xi looked as if she understood everything.

"Really? It's a pity that he didn't die of anger." Yun Wansheng's eyes were filled with cruelty.

"Shh! Do you really want to die?" Ah Xi nervously blocked Yun Wansheng's mouth with her bun.

Yun Wansheng was blocked by her and pushed the steamed bun away with a disgusted look: "Where is the kitchen? I want to eat."

"Just turn left and then left again when you go out. The bowl of rice is yours." Ah Xi continued to eat the steamed bun without any disgust.

Yun Wansheng took the rice bowl and left the room. It was already dark. She turned left twice and saw the kitchen. At this time, many servants were coming in and out to get food.

When Yun Wansheng entered the kitchen yard, she saw several patrol soldiers queuing up, so she consciously lined up behind them.

Her appearance attracted the attention of others, and they all cast curious glances at her, wondering if there was a newcomer in the General's Mansion?

When it was her turn to get food, the cook finally noticed her. Seeing how pretty she was, she couldn't help but smile warmly: "Girl, are you new here?"

"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng nodded pretending to be embarrassed.

"Which hospital do you work for?"

"Over at the laundry."

"Ah? How could the housekeeper Yang in the laundry house let such a beautiful girl like you do rough work?" The cook was dissatisfied and prepared meals for her.

Yun Wansheng just smiled politely and left the kitchen. When she turned the second corner, she suddenly saw a figure standing in the dark not far away under the eaves. Although it was dark, she could still tell who that person was.

She paused for a moment, then lowered her head and pretended not to see anything, wanting to walk over. But when she reached the man, he grabbed her arm.

"My Lord, please let go. It will have a bad impact on you if someone sees it." Yun Wansheng looked straight ahead without looking at the man beside her.

"Yun Wansheng, as long as you promise me that you will live peacefully with me in the future and no longer bear a grudge against me, the punishment will be waived." Mu Xingci looked at her gently.

"Let me be your mistress for life?" Yun Wansheng gave him a cold look.

"Do you really have to be my wife?" Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci thought of what she was obsessed with.

Yun Wansheng sneered: "Yes! What woman in the world doesn't want to be the main wife? Who is born to be someone's mistress?" After saying this deliberately in an irritating way, she shook off the man's arm and walked forward.

Mu Xingci looked at the stubborn woman in front of him and said, "I don't believe you can endure hardship. Yiyi, tomorrow ask Mrs. Zhang to give her more work, just enough so that she doesn't tire herself to death."

"Yes!" Qi Yi came out from the dark and answered.

That night, every courtyard was silent, with only the lanterns under the eaves rustling in the wind.

Patrols were patrolling around several important courtyards to prevent thieves from attacking. However, in the laundry yard, where only servants lived, it was much quieter.

Yun Wansheng made sure that the maids on the beds were soundly asleep before she stood up, slowly put on her clothes and got out of bed.

She walked quietly to the door and tried to open it slowly. The old wooden door made an unpleasant sound when she pulled it, startling a maid on the bed.

"Who's out?"

Yun Wansheng was too nervous to move: "Ugh! My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

"Go quickly, close the door, it's freezing."

"Oh! I'll close it right away." Yun Wansheng hurried out of the room and turned back to close the door for them.

Looking at the darkness around me, there were only two night lights in front of me swaying in the wind.

Yun Wansheng let out a long sigh, and without wasting any more time, walked towards a wall.

The wall was not high, and it was not difficult for her as a former soldier to climb over it. But after climbing over it, she found that there was a garden on the other side.

Yun Wansheng continued to walk north, having to avoid patrols from time to time, thinking that there was a street outside the wall.

After avoiding the patrol, Yun Wansheng finally arrived at the foot of the wall, estimated the height, then stepped back more than ten steps, and then took a run-up to climb up the wall.

Just when she thought she could escape from the General's Mansion, she felt a piercing pain in her palms, causing her to fall off the wall. She grimaced and cried out in pain.

"Ah!" She never expected that the courtyard wall of the general's mansion was full of sharp iron nails, which caused her hands to be seriously injured without her noticing. She could feel the blood in her palms still oozing out.

She fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise, which immediately attracted the nearby patrolmen. It was too late for her to hide, as the bright torches had surrounded her.

"Catch her quickly!" As the patrol sergeant gave the order, Yun Wansheng was lifted up by two soldiers.

"It's you?" The sergeant waited until she looked up before he could see who it was. Wasn't this the woman he had just seen when he was getting his meal?

Yun Wansheng lowered her head in embarrassment. Being caught and escaping made her lose all face. She didn't know whether that dog marquis would kill her in a fit of rage.

"Take her to the Marquis." The sergeant turned and left without asking any more questions.

Yun Wansheng was held by the arm all the way to the gate of a courtyard. The sergeant whispered a few words to the guard on duty, and the guard hurried in to report.

It didn't take long before Yun Wansheng was brought into Mu Xingci's house. After she stood still, the two soldiers let her go.

There was no one in the main room, so Captain Wu and the others could only wait.

At this time, Yun Wansheng's face was pale, her red lips had lost their color, and her hands were still dripping with blood. She was in so much pain that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, but she did not shout in this room.

She was also afraid that when she met the man, he would see her embarrassment in running away and would laugh at her mercilessly. She had a strong sense of self-esteem, so she put her hands behind her back and forced herself to be strong and wait for the man to come out.

Mu Xingci lifted the curtain and came out of the dormitory. His cold and arrogant eyes did not even look at the woman. He walked straight to the armchair and sat down.

Because several candles in the room had been extinguished before going to bed, the light in the room was not bright, and he did not notice the woman's pale face.

Looking at the trembling woman, Mu Xingci thought she was frightened, which made him laugh sarcastically: "Yun Wansheng, you are so naive and cute. You dare to dream of escaping? Don't you even look at where you are?"
