Chapter 10: The Marquis's Preaching, the Concubine Doesn't Listen
Seeing that he couldn't be woken up, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but whisper, "He's not a pig. He can sleep so well, and he's a great general! Aren't you afraid of the enemy coming to assassinate him?"
After muttering, she turned around and was about to go out, planning to cook her own food first. She didn't want to go hungry.
Just as she turned around, she felt someone suddenly hugging her waist. Before she could react, her eyes blurred and her body was suspended in the air. She was so scared that she couldn't help but scream.
Her frightened reaction caused the man behind her to laugh, and when she fell onto the bed, her body was pinned down.
"Yun Wansheng, you are so bold that you dare to scold me." Mu Xingci leaned over and looked down at her condescendingly.
She woke up when she entered the room. She was about to get up, but suddenly she wanted to see how this woman would coax her if she pretended to be asleep.
Unexpectedly, she didn't call me to get up in a soft voice. Instead, she deliberately made louder footsteps when she entered the room. Then, when she saw that I didn't wake up, she started to make up stories about me. She was really bold.
"Who scolded you? Don't accuse anyone wrongly." Yun Wansheng pushed him.
"Wasn't the word 'pig' you just said an insult? Don't you think I can hear that?"
"I said you were born in the Year of the Pig, but I didn't say you are a pig. These two sentences mean completely different things."
Yun Wansheng didn't dare to admit that she was scolding him. Who knew how this heartless man would treat her after he knew it? She still remembered that she was punished to fetch water last night!
"You're quibbling! Do you think I'm easy to fool? Tell me! What punishment do you want?" Mu Xingci pinched the woman's cheek with his fingers, looking like he was going to punish her.
"You said there would be no penalty, which means you don't want to punish me either. My Lord, you are so generous." Yun Wansheng deliberately misunderstood his meaning with a cunning look.
Mu Xingci was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he thought about what he had just said, and then he realized that his words had been deliberately misinterpreted by this woman.
"Yun Wansheng, I have noticed that after not seeing you for more than a month, not only has your body changed, but you have also become more cunning. Tell me! What magic medicine have you taken?" Mu Xingci held her close to him with his bare arms.
"My Lord, you're joking. I've grown up so well because you've given me good food and shelter. If I didn't have enough to eat and enough water to drink every day, I'm afraid I'd still be that yellow-haired girl!"
Yun Wansheng felt flustered when he hugged her so tightly, but she still pretended to be calm and dealt with him.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci couldn't help but look up at her hair. It was indeed not as black and shiny as those young ladies' hair, but it was much better than before.
"I will ask the doctor to prescribe some medicinal food to help you get black hair later, so that you won't be a yellow-haired girl anymore."
"That's great! My Lord, I'm hungry and have been waiting for you to have a meal!" Yun Wansheng quickly took the opportunity to say.
"Did you take your medicine this morning?" Mu Xingci answered a question that was not related to the question.
Yun Wansheng was stunned by his sudden question: "What medicine?"
"It seems that you have been living quite comfortably during the days when I was not here." After Mu Xingci said this, he stood up and looked for clothes to wear.
Yun Wansheng lay in bed, thinking hard about the original owner's past, not even watching the man getting dressed. It really made her think about it.
"My Lord, I remember now. You mean the contraceptive pill? Look at me. I was so busy cooking all morning that I forgot about it. I'll go drink it now."
After Yun Wansheng finished speaking, she hurried to the dressing table, took out a porcelain bottle from the box, and poured out two black pills.
This contraceptive pill is effective for twelve hours, so it’s okay to take it today after having sex last night.
Seeing that she was eating enthusiastically, Mu Xingci's expression softened a little: "Yun Wansheng, I would like to remind you that before your wife has a legitimate son, it is best not to have children first."
"You mean I can give birth to your child?" Isn't it said that concubines in ancient times were not allowed to give birth to children casually?
"Who told you that you can't have my child? My Mu family is a family of military commanders. The more children we have, the better. This way we can strengthen our family and protect our country.
But we have to wait until the legitimate son is born first, this rule cannot be broken." Mu Xingci rolled his eyes at the woman.
"But what if I get pregnant first? Should I abort the baby or give it away?" Yun Wansheng asked curiously.
"Yun Wansheng, I remind you that even if you bear a child first, it won't be a legitimate son, not even a concubine's eldest son. It won't affect the status of the legitimate son in the slightest. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't give birth to your child. It's so comfortable to live alone. I don't want to raise a child. It's too tiring."
Seeing her serious promise, Mu Xingci felt depressed for a moment: "Help me wash and dress."
"Oh!" Yun Wansheng responded and went to fetch water.
After washing and dressing, the food was served. Mu Xingci ate slowly and elegantly. However, after taking two bites, he heard some noise from the opposite side. He saw his woman eating with one chopstick. Although it was not that vulgar, it was not aesthetically pleasing.
He had never eaten here before. He always came in the evening and left early in the morning, so they had not eaten together in those months.
Thinking of this, Mu Xingci coughed lightly, causing Yun Wansheng opposite him to look at him: "What's wrong? Did you choke?" Holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, he looked inquiring.
"Yun Wansheng, you are no longer that unrestrained singing girl. You must behave in a dignified and graceful manner in the future. If you can't change your previous vulgar habits, you will become a laughing stock." Mu Xingci preached in a serious manner.
Yun Wansheng smiled faintly when she heard this: "My Lord, since you look down on me so much, just kick me out. I'm eating in my own home, so who's bothered by it? If you don't like me, just don't look at me." After saying that, she deliberately took a big mouthful of noodles.
She was very busy with her work during her lifetime. Sometimes she even forgot to eat. How could she have time to eat slowly?
But if she were to participate in any event, she would know that she had to be elegant and dignified, so there was no need for this ancient person to teach her.
If she listened to him today, she would have to eat her food in small bites every day, and the thought of it made her tired.
Mu Xingci was choked by her retort, and his handsome face darkened slightly: "I am teaching you for your own good, don't be ungrateful."
"My Lord, I am just a concubine without any status. I am not worthy of being in a noble family. Otherwise, why would you only let me be a concubine?
"Since you don't value me, why do you still ask me to behave in a refined manner? If you want to see the graceful demeanor of a lady from a noble family, I tell you, you've found the wrong person." Yun Wansheng said coldly, and with a thud, she placed the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table.
If possible, she really wanted to throw it on the ground, but then she thought that she would have to clean it up herself if she fell on the ground, so she decided to just throw it on the table.
Mu Xingci's eyes widened at her retort. He suddenly stood up and pointed at her angrily: "Yun Wansheng, do you know who you are talking to?"
