Chapter 53 The Maid's Boldness

This one sentence stumped Lin Yao. Although they were engaged, they did not have a love that was as firm as a rock and as deep as water. In this remote place thousands of miles away from the capital, it was impossible for a hot-blooded man like him to remain faithful to her.

Although she understood it, she still felt dissatisfied with his disregard for the reputation of their Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Although before she came, her parents told her that this man who had been guarding the country for many years would definitely find women outside, and asked her not to take it too seriously after knowing it, as they thought it was normal.

"Brother Xingci, you are so disregarding my feelings. Where do you put me? If others knew about this, wouldn't I become a joke in the eyes of those young ladies?"

"Lin Yao, I gave you face, but you tore it apart. I had already avoided suspicion with her, but you just wanted to get to the bottom of things. Now that your wish has come true, what are you still dissatisfied with?" Mu Xingci said indifferently.

When Lin Yao heard this, her face changed again. She didn't expect that this man knew what she had done and didn't even need to verify it.

"Qiyi, send Miss Lin back."

"Ms. Lin, please go back!" Qi Yi outside the door gestured with his hand.

Lin Yao stood there unwillingly for a moment, then left with a grim expression, because this man had already explained the situation clearly to her, that she was just a mistress, and asked her to stop. If she made a scene again, she would be the only one embarrassed in the end.

Yun Wansheng looked at the cold man with complicated eyes: "Aren't you afraid that she will break off the engagement with you?"

"Don't worry, the Tai Shi Mansion will not break off the engagement with me for a concubine, because they know that as long as they have me, the son-in-law of the Marquis and the general, their power will be even greater. Do you think they are willing to break off the engagement with me?" Mu Xingci said with a firm tone.

When Yun Wansheng heard him say the word "concubine" lightly, her heart ached slightly. She knew very well that in this ancient dynasty, it was difficult for a person of low status to change the existing reality.

Mu Xingci didn't know what she was thinking. He bandaged her wound, covered her with a quilt, and then threw the dirty clothes he took off her into a corner.

"What do you want to eat?" Mu Xingci sat in front of the bed and wiped the cold sweat from her face with the cotton handkerchief in his hand.

"I don't want to eat." The pain made her lose her hunger.

"Then you should get some sleep first. When you are hungry, tell me."

"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded and closed her slightly red eyes.

Mu Xingci just watched the woman fall asleep quietly without moving for a long time.

At this time, Qi Yi walked in and said, "My Lord, Lord Song asked me to ask you if we can still have the bonfire tonight?"

Mu Xingci thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it as usual! I'll go over there later."

He couldn't be so selfish as to spoil everyone's fun by getting injured for a woman. After all, the annual wild hunting was a long-awaited event for all the officers and soldiers. If he didn't do it, some people would definitely be dissatisfied. The most taboo thing in the border area was unstable military morale.

Seeing that the woman had fallen asleep, Mu Xingci put on his cloak and walked out of the tent. When he reached the door, he looked at the maid waiting there.

"Go in and wait! When Miss Yun wakes up, I'll serve her well."

"Yes!" Zixia responded respectfully and went back into the tent.

Looking at the woman sleeping on the bed, Zixia's eyes were filled with jealousy: "Little bitch, do you really think the Marquis cares about you?

A marquis of your status is just playing around for now. Sooner or later, you will be abandoned. Don’t you think about how many concubines have a good ending? "

Yun Wansheng didn't hear a word she said and was still sleeping defenselessly.

Just as she was sleeping soundly, not knowing what year or month it was, she suddenly heard the sound of string music, mixed with the noise of men making noises.

The noise made it impossible to sleep and her mouth was dry, which made her open her eyes with a little soreness.

"Is anyone there?" She turned her head and saw that there was no one in the tent, so she had no choice but to call for help. At this moment, she only felt cold all over and her throat was dry and sore. She just wanted to drink water to quench her thirst.

After shouting three times without any response, Yun Wansheng felt extremely helpless. For the first time in her life, she realized how miserable it was to have no reliable people around her.

Thinking of this, she wanted to get up and pour herself some water, but when she moved, the pain in her leg made her gasp, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back.

Yun Wansheng lay on the bed, breathing heavily, waiting for the pain to slowly pass.

At this moment, the curtain was opened and Zixia walked in slowly: "Miss Yun, are you awake?"

"Well! Please pour me a glass of water." Yun Wansheng knew that this maid didn't like her, but she was so thirsty that she could only speak to her politely.

"Miss Yun, why are you so polite? I'll pour you a glass of water right away." Zixia said with a slight smile on her lips, then walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.

"Miss Yun, please have some tea!"

Yun Wansheng was just about to turn sideways to drink some water, but the maid poured a cup of tea all over her face. The tea was still slightly hot, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Zixia laughed happily when she saw her embarrassed look: "You are a concubine and you want me to pour tea for you? Don't you think that your status is not worthy of it?"

Yun Wansheng wiped the tea off her face and glared at her angrily: "You are really good at this trick of being in front of others and behind their backs."

"I can't help it. My Lord trusts me! This is something you can't ask for.

I advise you to stay on your own and don't bother me to do anything for you. You, my mistress, are not worthy of my service.

Even if the Marquis orders me to do something for you, it won't work. As long as I serve you once, I will retaliate against you once." Zixia grabbed Yun Wansheng's hair viciously and warned him fiercely.

"Ah... I understand." The hair was pulled so hard that it hurt, so Yun Wansheng had to show weakness first.

"I'm glad to know. You continue to sleep and wait for the Marquis to come back. I hope you are still asleep." Zixia looked at the miserable look she had made, and walked out in a good mood.

Yun Wansheng touched her hair that was pulled in pain and secretly swore that she would get back at herself for the bullying she suffered today.

She didn't get to drink the water, and the coldness all over her body made her shiver. Yun Wansheng knew that she had a fever.

As time passed, Yun Wansheng fell into a drowsy sleep.

When she was sleeping with a dry mouth, she subconsciously called out the word "water".

As soon as Mu Xingci came back, he heard the woman weakly asking for water.

This made him not bother to take off his cloak. He first poured her a cup of tea, then lifted her shoulders and fed her water.

When I touched her body, I realized that she was extremely hot.

After she finished drinking the water, Mu Xingci patted her little face gently: "Yun Wansheng, wake up, you have a fever."

Yun Wansheng opened her eyes weakly, and when she saw who it was, she said a little aggrievedly, "I want to drink some water." Her voice was hoarse and no longer as pleasant as before.

Mu Xingci was holding her now. Seeing that she wanted to drink water, he naturally called out: "Mingyi, find Zixia. Where did this girl go?"

When Yun Wansheng heard that he was looking for the maid, she quickly shook her head and said, "I won't let her serve me. You go and pour it for me."
