Chapter 36 Two People Without Trust
Seeing this, Mu Xingci hurried over and picked her up: "Why are you up?" He carried her to the bed with concern.
"Help me put on my clothes quickly, I want to go to the toilet." Yun Wansheng no longer cared about her appearance or her inner feelings.
"Why do you need to wear clothes when going to the toilet? There is a toilet in the cubicle, you can use it." Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci understood why she had to wear her own clothes.
"I don't need your room. I'm going outside. Please help me put on my clothes." Yun Wansheng urged anxiously.
"Pretentious!" Mu Xingci gave her two hypocritical words and carried her to the compartment.
Yun Wansheng, with a slightly red cheek, was placed on the toilet chair by him and embarrassedly chased him away: "Get out!"
Mu Xingci looked at the shy woman who was pretending to be impatient, pinched her little face lightly as if to relieve his anger, and then walked out without saying a word.
Yun Wansheng touched her little face that was pinched and glared at the man who walked out, then solved the most important thing in her life.
Mu Xingci came to the hall and sat in front of it with a slightly gloomy face. As soon as he came back, he found that there was no one in the room, which made him feel unhappy.
At this time, Zixia and Wanchun hurried in. When they came closer, they each greeted him: "This servant greets the Marquis."
"Where have you two been?" The voice was slow, but the tone was full of pressure.
The two maids heard the sound of joy and anger, which made them look panicked: "Uh! My lord, I saw that Miss Yun was sleeping soundly and couldn't wake her up for a while, so I went to do other things." Wanchun said carefully.
"What's going on that keeps both of you away from here?"
"My Lord, the two of us just went to prepare the equipment for your autumn hunt, and we just left." Zixia said respectfully with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
"My Lord, has Miss Yun woken up?" Wanchun looked concerned.
"Well! Since you just left, I will not hold you accountable for your dereliction of duty this time. If you do it again, I will punish you without mercy."
Mu Xingci thought that Yun Wansheng had just gone to the toilet, so she must have just woken up not long ago. In addition, these two girls had never made any mistakes before, so they probably didn't leave the room on purpose.
"Thank you, my Lord, for not punishing us." The two maids with ulterior motives raised their heads with a smug look on their faces.
"Zixia, go prepare the things needed for washing and brushing your teeth. Wanchun, go prepare two new dresses for Miss Yun, quickly!" Mu Xingci ordered.
"Yes!" The two girls responded respectfully and went out.
Mu Xingci returned to the dormitory and saw that Yun Wansheng had not come out yet, so he walked to the desk in front of the window and sat down.
He picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, as if he was about to read, but his eyes were unfocused and he seemed distracted.
Just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard the door of the compartment open, which made him stand up and walk over naturally.
When he saw the disheveled woman, he couldn't help but smile.
Because at this time Yun Wansheng's hair was messy, her face was dirty, the bellyband on her body was a little crooked, and especially her pants, which were fat and long and dragged on the ground.
Yun Wansheng glared at the man who was laughing at her and said, "What are you looking at?" There was a bronze mirror in the compartment, and she knew how sloppy she looked at that moment.
"It's up to you! This is only me. If it were someone else, they would definitely turn around and leave in disgust." Mu Xingci said with a smile, holding the woman's arm.
"You can leave if you want, no one will stop you." Yun Wansheng walked awkwardly with one hand holding up the waistband of her pants, not forgetting to give him a blank look.
"Who will change your medicine if I leave? You boring woman."
"Have someone prepare some clothes for me. I'll go back to the villa later." Yun Wansheng said frankly.
"I've already given the order. He'll be here in a moment." As he spoke, Mu Xingci helped her onto the bed.
At this time, Zixia walked in, followed by two maids, one holding a basin of water and the other holding a tray with toiletries on it.
"My Lord, the water is here." Zixia said softly.
"Just help Miss Yun to wash and dress." Mu Xingci said and walked out.
"Miss Yun, please sit here at the dressing table." Zixia's tone became lighter, without the gentleness and flattery just now.
Yun Wansheng responded lightly and treated her indifferently. She stood up and walked to the dressing table and sat down. She slowly placed her injured hand on the table to avoid being touched.
Zixia's eyes flickered as she took the wet cotton towel handed over by the second-class maid: "Miss Yun, let me wipe your face first."
"Thank you." Yun Wansheng said politely and closed her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, a wet cloth was stuck on her face. The wetness was as if it had just been fished out of the water, making her extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to just endure it, but the hand that didn't want to wipe her face used a lot of force, rubbing her face so hard that it hurt.
Feeling the maid's malice, Yun Wansheng was filled with anger and instinctively pushed her out with force, knocking the defenseless Zixia to the ground.
"Ah! Miss Yun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Zixia's eyes flashed with viciousness, but her body was in panic and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Wansheng.
The noise in the room alarmed Mu Xingci outside, which made him rush into the room. When he saw the concubine staring at Zixia with anger on her face as she kowtowed and admitted her mistake, he was slightly stunned.
he asked sternly, walking between them.
"My Lord, when I was wiping Miss Yun's face just now, I noticed a spot that was extremely dirty, so I used a little more force. I think I hurt Miss Yun, and she got angry and pushed me to the ground. Miss Yun, I really didn't mean to do that. Please calm down and forgive me."
Mu Xingci frowned when he heard this and looked at Yun Wansheng, whose face was still wet: "Did she really hurt you just now?"
"Would you believe me if I said she did it on purpose?" Yun Wansheng looked at him with cold eyes.
"Miss Yun, I have always been sensible in what I do. How could I hurt you on purpose? Even if you are dissatisfied with the Marquis, please don't accuse him wrongly!" Zixia cried.
Mu Xingci saw her crying in grievance and didn't know who was lying for a moment, but this maid had followed him for many years, and he knew what kind of person she was.
However, Yun Wansheng always opposed him head-on. Considering their personalities, he trusted the maid a little more.
"You go down!" Mu Xingci sent the servants away, picked up the wet cotton towel on the ground, and then put it in the basin and scrubbed it without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Wansheng kept silent, so what else was there to say? When he dismissed her as if nothing had happened, it meant that he believed what the girl said.
"Come! I'll wipe it for you." Mu Xingci came in front of her and said gently.
"No need, I'm just injured, not disabled. I can take care of myself."
After saying this in a cold voice, she snatched the wet cotton towel from the man's hand, and without waiting for the man to speak, she endured the pain in her hand and wiped it randomly on her face.
