Chapter 34 I didn't expect her to run away
Yun Wansheng ignored his sarcasm. The pain had made her no longer in the mood to argue with him.
"Why aren't you talking? Aren't you very talkative? Speak!" Her silence made Mu Xingci even angrier.
Yun Wansheng frowned and looked at the cold Weiyuan Hou: "I have nothing to say, you can do whatever you want to me, it's just my bad luck."
"Yun Wansheng, you still refuse to admit your mistakes and still want to play the game of indifference to life and death with me. I have to disappoint you. Death is so easy. I will make you live in pain to quell the anger in my heart.
"Sergeant Tian! Force her to kneel on the ground. If she refuses to admit her fault, make her kneel until dawn. I will teach her the consequences of daring to escape without permission." Mu Xingci ordered coldly.
"yes!"
Sergeant Tian walked towards Yun Wansheng, who was very close to the door, with a serious face and pushed her to the ground roughly.
"Ah!" Yun Wansheng was pressed hard by him, and her hands naturally pressed to the ground. In an instant, two bloody palm prints appeared on the floor.
The pain made Yun Wansheng's heart burn with anger, and tears came out of her eyes. "Mu Xingci, give me a quick death. You are not a man, you just like to bully the weak. What kind of marquis or general are you? If you have the guts, just kill me now, and I will still respect you as a man."
Now she just wanted to completely anger this dog marquis and make him kill her and end her life.
Mu Xingci listened to the woman cursing him with gritted teeth, and it sounded like she really hated him, which made his handsome face even gloomier.
He stood up and walked step by step towards the woman who was breathing rapidly, which made him frown. He was very familiar with this panting sound. It was the sound of someone who was seriously injured.
As he thought about it, his expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but take two quick steps.
As he took a step closer, a pair of bloody palm prints on the ground suddenly caught his eye. This shocking scene made his breathing stagnate and his throat tightened.
"What's going on?" He said in panic, and quickly stepped forward to pick the person up. Then he shot a murderous look at Sergeant Tian: "You are so brave, I promise you will hurt her."
Upon hearing this, Sergeant Tian's face turned pale with panic, and his knees gave way as he knelt down. "My Lord, we didn't hurt her. She was the one trying to escape by climbing over the wall, and her hand was injured by the nails in the wall."
When Mu Xingci heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew better than him how powerful the knife nails were. In order to prevent surprise attacks from enemy assassins, he had personally designed the knife nails and cast them on the top of the wall.
Since he had this defensive weapon, he had caught assassins several times but he never thought that his sword and nail defense, which he was so proud of, would hurt his woman today.
"Get out!" he said in annoyance, and then carried the person into the dormitory.
At this moment, he was blaming his subordinates for not reporting to him clearly when they passed the message. They only told him that Yun Wansheng was caught for trying to escape, making him think that the woman just wanted to escape through the courtyard gate. How could he have imagined that she was going to jump over the wall?
Yun Wansheng leaned in the man's arms with her eyes closed. She didn't expect that the man who had just shouted that he would punish her would now carry her to the big bed with a worried look on his face.
Mu Xingci let her lie down, not worrying about whether the blood on her body would dirty his bedding.
He complained, but his hands were busy checking: "Yun Wansheng, do you have to compete with me to be happy? You didn't even tell me that you were injured."
Yun Wansheng learned her lesson this time and didn't confront him anymore. Her hand was really hurting.
Mu Xingci looked at her bloody little hand. There were even small holes on the palm and fingers, and blood was still oozing out. His heart tightened when he saw it.
"Just bear with it for a while. Wanchun, bring the medicine box from the cabinet." He ordered the maid in a nervous tone.
"Yes!" The maid obediently took out a small mahogany box and placed it on the stool beside the bed.
"Go down!"
Mu Xingci drove the man away without even raising his head, and opened the box. He saw many bottles and jars, gauze for bandaging, scissors, etc. inside.
After Mu Xingci took out the gauze, he wiped the blood off the woman's hand. In his haste, he forgot to use too much strength, causing the woman to hiss in pain. This made him look up at her nervously.
"Bear with it, I will try to be gentler." He spoke softly, and his hands became much lighter.
Yun Wansheng felt better when she saw the man who had rarely become gentle. At least now she didn't have to worry about being beaten or punished.
This work took more than an hour. After bandaging Yun Wansheng, her hands were as tightly wrapped as dumplings.
"Don't let it get wet these days, take good care of it." Mu Xingci looked at the person in front of him with concern.
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded with her head lowered.
Mu Xingci looked at her wet hair and thought it was because of the pain, which made him blame himself even more.
"Come! Drink this medicine, it will relieve the pain." Mu Xingci handed a pill to her lips.
This time, Yun Wansheng opened her mouth and ate it without any hesitation.
The man handed her more water at the right time for her to swallow.
But out of instinct, Yun Wansheng wanted to raise her hand to touch the cup, and this movement inevitably stretched the wound, causing her to groan in pain.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's painful face, his eyes slightly painful: "Go to sleep!" He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, did not mention her escape, and raised his hand to take off her dirty clothes.
Yun Wansheng subconsciously moved back a little because of his actions: "My Lord, I'm going back to the laundry house and won't disturb your rest." Then she stood up despite the pain.
Mu Xingci gently held her down and asked, "What? Now that you're feeling better, you have the energy to go against me?"
"No way. Since the Marquis has punished me to work in the laundry house, I naturally have to live there." Yun Wansheng didn't want to sleep here. This man made her feel annoyed.
"Little woman, how come you're so obedient now? Shouldn't you be contradicting me? Well, you're injured now, and I won't bother with you. Go to sleep!"
He seemed impatient as he spoke, but then he took off her clothes without giving her a chance to refuse.
Yun Wansheng was afraid of the pain and didn't dare to move. She could only let him help her take off her clothes. In the end, only her bellyband and underwear were left. Then the man stuffed her into the quilt.
After letting her lie down, Mu Xingci blew out the candle and got on the bed. However, they each covered themselves with a quilt, and the woman's hands were injured, so he couldn't do anything.
That night, the pain in her hand made Yun Wansheng sleep uneasily. She couldn't help but take a deep breath every time she moved.
When Mu Xingci heard this, his eyes in the dark night were filled with regret.
"Does it hurt?" The voice was soft.
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded in a daze.
It hurts, and Mu Xingci has no other choice at this moment. It hurts when you are injured. Even if you take medicine, there will be a transition period. Now he only regrets sending her to the laundry house as punishment.
He didn't expect that she would think of running away. If he had known that she had the intention to escape, he would never have argued with her.
A night passed and neither of them slept well. Mu Xingci got up as soon as the sun rose.
