Chapter 54 Hide and seek?

Seeing her reaction, Mu Xingci asked in confusion, "What's wrong? I just asked her to pour a glass of water."

"She bullied me. Before, I asked for water, but she not only refused to give it to me, she also splashed hot water on my face. Look, the quilt is wet." Yun Wansheng's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she cried softly.

"No way? How dare she do that?" Mu Xingci said with some disbelief.

"You don't believe it? She said that if you let her serve me once, she will find an opportunity to take revenge on me."

"Yun Wansheng, are you delirious due to the fever? Let me call a doctor for you first!" Mu Xingci saw that her words were getting more and more outrageous. He was a little suspicious at first, but now he completely ignored her.

How could her personal maid of many years do such a vicious thing?

Yun Wansheng watched him go out to find a doctor and was so angry that she had a headache. No wonder the maid was so confident. It turned out that she was relying on Mu Xingci's trust.

She originally thought that she could cry out of grievance and tell the man about the evil things the maid had done, so that he would stand up for her and punish her. However, she didn't expect that the man would not believe her at all, which really made her angry.

Zixia walked in angrily: "Where is the Marquis?"

"He went to see a doctor." Yun Wansheng said lightly.

"You're such a trouble." Zixia sat at the table with disdain, looking relaxed.

Yun Wansheng ignored her and just waited for Mu Xingci to come back.

Not long after, Mu Xingci came in with a doctor. The doctor took her pulse, gave her a bottle of antipyretic medicine, and left.

"Zixia, pour Miss Yun a glass of water." Mu Xingci ordered casually and picked up Yun Wansheng sideways again so that it would be easier for her to drink the medicine.

Zixia respectfully poured the tea and brought it to Yun Wansheng. Mu Xingci stuffed a pill into her mouth.

"Miss Yun, please drink some water." Zixia took good care of Yun Wansheng this time and didn't let her leak a drop of water.

Yun Wansheng looked at this two-faced maid with cold eyes.

"My Lord, I'm hungry." Yun Wansheng looked at the man holding her with a gleam in her eyes.

"Zixia, go to the kitchen and get some food, quickly." Mu Xingci gave orders naturally.

"Yes!" Zixia responded, secretly glared at the concubine, and then walked out.

Mu Xingci put Yun Wansheng down and pulled the quilt for her. Only then did he realize that the quilt was wet. "Why is the quilt wet?"

"I just told you that your maid splashed water on me and said I was unworthy of her service." Yun Wansheng told the truth, regardless of whether the man believed it or not.

Seeing her confident words, Mu Xingci had a suspicious look in his eyes: "Did she really splash you?"

"If you don't believe me, ask her." Yun Wansheng said angrily. She wanted to see how the maid would argue this time.

Soon the maid came in with a tray and said, "My Lord, this servant has brought Miss Yun a bowl of rice porridge. The injured should eat something light."

"Zixia, I want to ask you, why did you pour hot tea on Miss Yun?" Mu Xingci asked bluntly.

"Ah? My Lord, how dare I splash water on her? She is the woman you love the most. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do it!" Zixia knelt on the ground in panic.

"Then why is the quilt wet?"

"My Lord, I noticed that Miss Yun had a fever while she was sleeping, so I thought of giving her some water. However, just as I put the water to her lips, she knocked the cup over with her hand. Perhaps she was drowsy and fell asleep again after knocking it over.

Seeing that the quilt was wet, I went out to ask Master Zhou for another quilt for you, but Master Zhou said he didn't have any extra quilts. If you don't believe me, please ask Master Zhou.

After hearing what she said, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but laugh at her: "You are really good at speaking."

Since she dared to say this, she must have already found that Lord Zhou. Zhou Sihong didn't know her intentions, so he naturally testified for her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci didn't know who to believe for a moment, but he still believed the maid's words in his heart. After all, she had witnesses and she usually did things very steadily.

"Go down and have some rest!" he said indifferently.

Zixia walked out of the tent, smiling triumphantly. If she was not absolutely sure, how could she dare to treat her concubine like this.

Yun Wansheng watched her leave and chuckled, "My Lord, your maid is truly a shrewd one."

"Maybe you were really confused in your sleep and didn't even realize you knocked over the teacup?" Mu Xingci asked uncertainly.

"My Lord, how about we play a game tomorrow?"

"What game?"

"Hide and seek!"

"Hide and seek?"

The next morning, Yun Wansheng felt much more relaxed. After her fever subsided in the second half of the night, she slept soundly.

After Mu Xingci put on his clothes, Zixia came in with a copper basin and helped her wash her face and comb her hair.

Yun Wansheng lay on the bed with her eyes closed, too lazy to look at her.

"Zixia, I have some matters to attend to with Lord Song and the others, and I won't be back until the afternoon. I'll leave Miss Yun here to you. I hope you take good care of her."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will take good care of Miss Yun." Zixia said calmly with a faint smile.

"Hmm!" He responded and looked at Yun Wansheng on the bed: "Just tell her if you have anything to say."

"I understand." Yun Wansheng said casually.

Mu Xingci stopped and looked at her for a moment, then turned and left the tent. The maid saw him out the door, and after he walked away, an evil smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Back in the tent, Zixia walked to Yun Wansheng's bedside, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes: "Miss Yun, do you think it's an honor to order a marquis's maid to serve you?"

"I've never thought about it that way. If I could move, I wouldn't let you bully me." Yun Wansheng said coldly.

"I told you last night not to order me around, but you insisted on asking for food and drink in front of the Marquis. Do you think I wouldn't dare do anything to you with the Marquis around?" Zixia said, then walked up to her and grabbed her hair, saying angrily.

"Ah! Let go of me. I'm hungry and you don't give me food. I can only ask the Marquis for it." Yun Wansheng wanted to open her hand in pain, but she was already injured, and the pain made her lose strength to move.

"Didn't I tell you? As long as you let me serve you once, I will take revenge on you once."

"If you treat me like this, sooner or later I will let the Marquis know what kind of person you are."

"Yun Wansheng, you really think highly of yourself. Do you think the Marquis really likes you? You saw it yesterday. Even if Miss Lin saw through your relationship, the Marquis still said you were a concubine to deal with her.

If he really wanted to protect you, he would not tell Miss Lin your identity. He said that just to reassure Miss Lin that she was just a concubine and could not shake her position as the future marquis' wife.

Miss Lin left so easily because she knew you were just a lowly concubine, so she didn't make a fuss. Otherwise, do you think she, a young lady from the Imperial Household, would tolerate you stealing her man?" Zixia cruelly told the truth.
