Chapter 117: Eating the Woman's Leftovers
Mu Xingci narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him: "What's your name?"
This man was a handsome man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a slender figure. He was wearing a gray-black brocade robe, which made him look elegant and easy-going.
"I, Xia Fengjin, am in charge of preventing diseases in military horses at this horse farm. I manage over fifty equine doctors."
"Oh? The people in charge of this area are no ordinary people. You guys have made the greatest contribution to the horses being able to be deployed to the army."
"General, thank you for your praise. We are just doing our duty."
Mu Xingci raised the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at the others: "Now that Zhou Family Fort is gone, someone must be responsible for the operation of this horse ranch. I think Manager Xia is meticulous and responsible, so I will temporarily hand over the ranch to him. After I report this to the emperor, he will decide on the permanent candidate."
Upon hearing this, Xia Fengjin and the others looked at their superiors with different expressions. They obviously did not expect that the next castle lord would be replaced like this.
"Thank you for your trust, General Zhenjun. Before the emperor sends anyone, I will manage the horse farm properly." Xia Fengjin said with a glimmer in his eyes and a slight curl of his lips.
"I believe you will do a good job. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can exercise your rights. I will not pursue any matter. The racecourse must be the most important thing." Mu Xingci's words were intimidating.
A few officials were initially dissatisfied, but upon hearing the general's threats, they swallowed their words of objection. After all, the corpse outside wasn't even hard yet! What if they didn't give the general face and he killed them in a rage?
Seeing that they seemed to agree, Mu Xingci nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xia Fengjin, the bodies of the forty-plus soldiers who died last night are now in the funeral cemetery. I'm worried that the government won't have enough manpower. Later, you can bring a few people to help and bury them as soon as possible."
Xia Fengjin received Mu Xing's meaningful farewell look and bowed, saying, "I obey your command!"
Mu Xingci was very happy to see that he, the secret agent, could finally replace the Zhou family. With one shackle removed from his neck, his work would be much easier in the future.
After finishing the business at Zhoujiabao, he returned to the inn by dusk. As soon as he entered the guest room, he saw the woman eating. She only glanced at him when he came in.
"Are you done with your work?" he asked casually and continued eating.
"Yeah! I'm so tired." Mu Xingci took off his cloak, asked Mingyi to help him take off his armor, and then went to wash up.
When he came out after washing, he saw that the woman had finished eating. When she saw him come out, she went behind the screen to wash up.
"Master, please wait a moment. I will bring you food now." Qi Yi said with great discernment.
Mu Xingci looked at the leftovers on the table and waved his hand: "No need, I'll just eat a little. You go downstairs and eat!"
Qi Yi was startled when he heard this, and his eyes unconsciously swept to the two dishes and half a bowl of rice on the table: "Master, why are you eating these?"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, you go ahead!" As he said that, he sat down at the table, naturally picked up the woman's bowl and started eating with the dishes.
Qi Yi stood there in astonishment. How much did his master like this concubine? That he could not dislike this woman at all?
Seeing his subordinates staring at him blankly, Mu Xingci's handsome face darkened: "Why don't you get out of here?"
"Uh! Just get out, just get out!" He responded with a little panic and walked out of the guest room.
Mu Xingci picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it. When Yun Wansheng came out from behind the screen, she saw the man eating.
At first she didn't notice it, but when she walked to the table, she found that the man was using his own bowl to eat his leftovers. He ate calmly, without a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Why are you eating what I left? Is that little bit of food enough for you?" she said, sitting opposite him with a slight smile on her lips.
"Of course it's not enough now, but it doesn't matter. I'll eat you as a snack in the evening." Mu Xingci looked at the embarrassed woman with a sly smile in his eyes.
"You're so frivolous as soon as you come back. I don't want to bother with you." Yun Wansheng's heart skipped a beat as she walked to the desk, picked up the book and started reading.
Mu Xingci looked at her awkwardly, with a slightly curved brow, he withdrew his gaze and continued eating.
After dinner, Mu Xingci asked someone to prepare bath water. He was covered in blood today, so he had to wash thoroughly.
Seeing that he was going to take a shower, Yun Wansheng didn't want to move, but the man couldn't bear to see her idle: "Wansheng, find me a set of clean clothes." Mu Xingci drank the tea after dinner and gave orders as a matter of course.
"The clothes are in the closet. You can just take them when you wash them." Yun Wansheng deliberately did not move, not wanting him to get used to her service.
"You don't want to take it?"
"No!" Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him and continued reading. Although she didn't read a single word, she just didn't look at him.
Mu Xingci put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the table. Yun Wansheng suddenly felt the man approaching and couldn't help but look at him. Before she could say anything, the book was snatched away by the man and then placed on the table.
"You...what are you doing?" The man suddenly hugged Yun Wansheng's waist from behind, making her nervous.
"Of course you get me clothes. Since neither you nor I want to get them, we'll have to go get them together." Mu Xingci smiled ambiguously, hugged the woman intimately and pushed her towards the closet forcefully.
Yun Wansheng was really defeated by the shameless teasing of this bastard. She wanted to break free from the man's restraints, but as soon as she struggled, the bastard kissed her ear for a moment, forcing her to give up.
"Let me go first, I'll get you clothes." In the end, she couldn't resist the shamelessness of this shameless man.
"I think it's better for us to get it together. This way we can enhance our relationship. What do you think?" Mu Xingci smiled evilly.
When he arrived in front of the closet, he didn't rush to open it. Instead, he pressed the woman against the door and gently lifted her chin with his fingers: "Wan Sheng, I miss you so much after not seeing you for even one day. Do you miss me?"
"I don't want to!" Yun Wansheng met the man's affectionate eyes, her gaze paused slightly, but the words she said were a denial before her brain could think of them.
"Don't you want to? Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"It seems that what I have done is not enough. Now I need to make a deeper impression on you."
"What do you want to do?" Yun Wansheng felt that his words were dangerous, and she wanted to push him away in panic.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's flustered face and sneered, "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to hit you. If you say you thought of me today, I won't have a deep impression of you. Let me ask you again, have you thought of me today?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng glared at him angrily: "Mu Xingci, please stop making such a fuss, okay? Do you think it's fun to force me like this?"
"Interesting! Are you going to tell me or not?" Mu Xingci untied the belt on one side of the woman in a calm tone, and the threat was obvious.
