Chapter 57 It’s Impossible to Leave
Yun Wansheng looked at this extremely arrogant young lady with cold eyes: "Miss Lin, since you know it, why bother getting angry? Once you enter the house, I will let you deal with it."
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Yao looked at the woman with a calm face.
"Is it useful to be afraid? In your eyes, my identity is equivalent to a small ant. Have you ever seen an ant escape from the humans who want to kill it?" Yun Wansheng said with a faint and disdainful expression.
"You are quite self-aware. It seems that what happened last night has made you see things more clearly. Men are like this. No matter how good he seems to be to you on the outside, at the critical moment, he still puts the overall situation first.
So what if he acknowledges your identity? Isn't that a disguised way of telling me that you are just a woman he needs temporarily? "Lin Yao is not stupid. She understood what the man said last night, so she stopped crying.
"Ms. Lin, I have always been very clear about my position in his heart. I have always been insignificant to him." Yun Wansheng said with cold eyes.
"I'm glad you understand. I'm warning you in advance. If my brother Xingci gets to know even a word of what I just said, I will make sure you don't live to see tomorrow." Lin Yao said with a fierce look in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. I don't want to die early."
"Since you are sensible, I will let you live a little longer." With a contemptuous smile, Lin Yao turned around and left.
Yun Wansheng closed her eyes, but her slightly trembling eyelids betrayed her mood at the moment.
Just after noon, Mu Xingci walked in with a gust of cold wind: "I heard from the guards that Lin Yao was here?"
"Um!"
Mu Xingci walked to the bedside and said, "She didn't..." Before he could finish his words, he saw the slap mark on the woman's face, and his heart sank.
"Did she hit you?" Mu Xingci rubbed the woman's injured face.
"It's normal." Yun Wansheng smiled nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Mu Xingci looked apologetically.
"I'm glad you know. What are we going back for?"
"I'll dress you right away. Once you're done packing, we can leave anytime." Mu Xingci said as he took her clothes.
Yun Wansheng didn't refuse and let him help her put on her clothes. After she was dressed, Mu Xingci brought her some water to wash and then combed her hair.
"Okay! I'll carry you to the car." Mu Xingci said with a slight smile on his lips, and without waiting for her to reply, he carried her out of the tent.
When he arrived in front of the carriage, Yun Wansheng found that this carriage was not the one from his general's mansion. He thought about it and realized that with his fiancée there, it would not be his turn to get in his carriage.
Mu Xingci slowly placed her in the carriage. Yun Wansheng suddenly felt soft and comfortable under her body. She didn't know how many beddings were needed to make it feel like this.
"How does it feel? Is it uncomfortable?" Mu Xingci pressed the bedding under him worriedly.
"It's quite soft."
At this time, the carriage started to move. Yun Wansheng frowned and said, "It's not good for you to be in my carriage. Get off."
"Don't worry! I have already spread the word that you have returned to the city first. She won't know that we are going back together." Mu Xingci lay on his side beside the woman, one hand on her waist.
"You've really taken great pains for your fiancée from the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Actually, you don't have to be so cautious. Since you're afraid of offending the Grand Tutor's Mansion, just let me go when you get back."
Yun Wansheng didn't dare tell the man in front of her about Lin Yao's threats. Now he had to consider the Grand Tutor's Mansion in everything he did. How could she, a concubine of low status, expect him to offend the powerful father-in-law for her?
Moreover, when he explained his identity, he had already told Miss Lin that she was just a woman for his temporary pleasure, which was why Lin Yao didn't attack him immediately. After understanding this, why should she still rely on him?
As she is not yet fully capable of protecting herself, she will not entrust herself to a man who is not trustworthy. It is enough for her to experience danger only once.
Mu Xingci's eyes darkened when he heard this: "Yun Wansheng, you'd better not keep thinking about leaving me. Even if I get married, you are still my woman. It is impossible for you to leave."
Yun Wansheng looked at the man's secretly angry eyes and said no more: "I'm sleepy." She said unhappily and closed her eyes.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was in a bad mood with him, his eyes darkened, and then he leaned over and kissed her pale lips.
Yun Wansheng found that her lips were slightly wet, which made her open her angry eyes. She wanted to push him away with both hands, but this movement stretched the wound on her body, and she couldn't help but moan in pain.
The woman's cry of pain made the man let her go. "Don't ignore me. If you get angry with me again, I won't care if you get hurt or not."
Yun Wansheng glared at the overbearing man: "Then leave it alone! What if I lose my temper? Kill me right now if you dare."
She was already extremely angry, and this bastard Marquis was looking for trouble, instantly igniting the flames of anger that she had been trying to suppress.
Mu Xingci didn't expect that his words would make the woman so angry that she was not afraid of his threat at all.
"Yun Wansheng, have I spoiled you too much, causing you to forget the distinction between high and low?"
"My Lord, if what you mean by pampering me is simply to generously spare my life, then you don't need to pamper me like this. Living here with you is not only joyless, but also humiliating every day. Everything is decided by you. I don't want a life like this anymore."
Yun Wansheng stared at the cold man with red eyes.
Mu Xingci lowered his head and looked at the woman's slightly moist eyes, and his anger subsided a little.
"I know you're upset about being bullied, but you also know that Lin Yao's father is the current emperor's teacher and the most powerful Grand Tutor in the court. There are some things I can't offend unless it's absolutely necessary."
"That's your business. Don't tell me about it. You're not enduring it just for me." Yun Wansheng said ungratefully.
"You conscienceless woman, if it weren't for your safety, why would I be so cautious in everything I do? How dare you say it's not for you?" Mu Xingci pinched the woman's cheek lightly with his fingers as if to vent his anger.
The man's words left Yun Wansheng speechless for a moment, because he was right. Regardless of whether he had feelings for her or not, at least he still protected her.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Mu Xingci raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, don't be angry, aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep!" As he said that, he patted her body lightly, like coaxing a child.
Yun Wansheng then closed her eyes and restrained her previous strength.
Mu Xingci watched her gradually fall asleep, then withdrew his hand and lay down next to her. After waking up for a moment, he also fell asleep.
In the evening, a group of carriages and horses entered the city. Mu Xing asked the group to return to their camps first, and he returned to the villa with his confidants.
