Chapter 85 The Maid's Provocation
Yun Wansheng closed her eyes and listened to the man's words, frowning slightly: "My Lord, fighting means casualties. If you are afraid of sacrifice, you have already lost the battle before it even starts. This is a taboo in military strategy.
In my opinion, the three countries have their own strengths in military strength, and advanced weapons do give them a great advantage, but they may not necessarily win.
If you want to win a battle, you must have some generals with strong combat capabilities. As long as he commands properly and his subordinates cooperate well, unifying the world is a matter of time."
Mu Xingci didn't expect that this woman could say such profound words, which surprised him a lot.
He thought that this woman was short-sighted, materialistic and greedy, and would not have a high level of awareness. He did not expect that what she said today would benefit him a lot. This was the first time he listened to a woman's words.
"Yun Wansheng, how come this marquis only just realized that you're not a useless woman? You can ride a horse, sing, and even do martial arts. And that pistol in your hand? You seem to be even more capable than those young ladies from official families."
Yun Wansheng opened her eyes upon hearing this, realizing that she had revealed so much without realizing it.
"No matter how powerful I am, I'm not as powerful as you." Yun Wansheng replied to him pretending to be calm.
"I think you are more powerful, Yun Wansheng. You have made me look at you with new eyes just with a gun." Mu Xingci hugged her tighter.
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's joking tone and chuckled: "Is it my honor to be looked up to by you? I'm sleepy, go back to your bed." As she said that, she tried to break free from his arms.
Mu Xingci didn't let her go: "If you continue to struggle, I don't mind if we fight three more rounds tonight."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng didn't move, but she spoke angrily, "My Lord, you really are in a very good mood. I really don't understand how you can act as if nothing happened after hurting others."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci pulled the man towards him and said, "Yun Wansheng, I am already doing you a favor by not pursuing this matter. Don't be ungrateful."
"If you don't pursue me, do I have to please you? Then you can hug me whenever you want and sleep with me whenever you want?
Mu Xingci, you are not the only one who has a heart. Even though my status is low and I am in the dust, I still have a heart that understands the cold and warmth.
Like you, I have seven emotions and six desires, joy and sorrow, and I also know hierarchy and shame.
You can just wave your hand and let things go, but I still have to please you while risking my body and mind being bullied by you.
"Mu Xingci, being your woman is truly tragic." Yun Wansheng stared at the man so close with red eyes.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman with red eyes with deep eyes, and stroked her cheek with his palm: "Don't be angry, I thought you were brave and it would be okay to scare you. I didn't expect to scare you to faint. I overestimated your courage."
"So? Your unexpectedness doesn't make you think you did anything wrong, right? You think I don't deserve an apology, do you?"
"Yun Wansheng, I don't think I did anything wrong in forcing you to tell me about the pistol. Anyone would ask about this normally, and I'm a general, so I should ask you carefully."
"You have your position and I have my difficulties, so it's better for us to separate temporarily after tonight. After we forget this unpleasant thing, we can talk about romance again. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable now and don't want to deal with you." Yun Wansheng said bluntly.
Mu Xingci stared at her for a moment, then let her go, got up, dressed, and left the villa without saying a word.
When Yun Wansheng saw him leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, then closed her eyes and went to sleep, not thinking about other troubles.
Yun Wansheng slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. Just as she finished washing and dressing, Xiao Fei came and said, "Miss Yun, the Marquis asked you to have lunch with your grandfather at noon. He will go too."
"I see. I'm going there too." Yun Wansheng was a little surprised. Why did that dog marquis suddenly want to eat there?
On second thought, could he be trying to please me because he feels he's in the wrong? This isn't like him. I can't be so sentimental. Such a proud man would definitely disdain me as a mistress.
After everything was packed, Yun Wansheng took her maid to the villa where Yun Dashan lived. The two houses were not far away, and they arrived there in no time.
When he saw a carriage parked at the door, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "That dog marquis is here so early?"
Thinking about this, she walked into the yard, but as soon as she entered the yard, she heard the man shouting from the house: "You are looking for death!"
These three murderous words startled Yun Wansheng, and she quickly ran to the main room. Qi Yi and Xiao Fei, who were standing on the steps, were also startled, and the three of them entered the room one after another.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a seriously injured maid lying at his feet. When he looked up, he saw Yun Dashan lying straight on the ground, with Weiyuan Hou squatting beside him.
This scene made Yun Wansheng panic: "Grandpa!" She took a few steps forward and wanted to help him up.
But when he saw Yun Dashan's eyes were closed, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
With tears in her eyes, she picked up half of his body and sniffed his breath, only to find that he was dead. This made her stare at the person beside her.
"Mu Xingci, you have such a vicious heart. If I don't obey you, you will kill my grandfather. I will fight you to the death." After saying this angrily, he let go of Yun Dashan and attacked Mu Xingci.
"Yun Wansheng, calm down. I didn't kill that person." Mu Xingci grabbed the fist that was coming at him with one hand and said urgently.
"Who else could it be if not you? I heard your angry roar as you killed someone from outside. It's no use trying to argue." Yun Wansheng's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"It really wasn't me, the Marquis. I was scolding the maid. She was the one who killed your grandfather."
Mu Xingci hurriedly explained: "If you don't believe me, you can go ask her." As he said that, he pointed angrily at the maid on the ground, Wanchun.
Yun Wansheng looked in the direction he pointed at the maid: "Wanchun, was it you who killed my grandfather?"
There was blood on the corner of Wanchun's mouth, and her eyes flashed with cunning. "Ms. Yun... Miss Yun, this is the first time I've met your grandfather. How could... I possibly want to kill him out of thin air? Is it because the master wants to take revenge on you that he murdered him..."
Before she could finish her words, Mu Xingci roared angrily, "Bitch, you still dare to sow discord when you are about to die? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I will bury your whole family with you!"
"My Lord...My Lord, why did you harm this servant? It was obviously because you were angry that Miss Yun disobeyed you and wanted to teach her a lesson, so you brought this servant here under the pretext of delivering tea and snacks.
Who would have thought that as soon as you arrived, you scolded Yun Dashan for not disciplining your granddaughter well. Yun Dashan said a good word for your granddaughter, and you hit him.
I stepped forward to persuade you, but you thought I was in the way and kicked me down. When Yun Dashan saw you like this, he couldn't help but scold you a few times, and you got angry and threw him...
"Bitch, you said that I never thought of harming him, and it was you who took his life when I was not prepared. Now you want to frame me. Tell me! What is your intention?" Mu Xingci grabbed the maid's neck with murderous eyes.
