Chapter 128 The Marquis Breaks Off the Engagement Due to Injury
The carriage drove out of the alley and came to a somewhat deserted street. At this time, the sound of galloping horses came from the front, which made Yun Wansheng curious and lifted the curtain to look outside.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, she saw a man in military uniform speeding past her. When she saw who the man was, her eyes flashed a few times, and then she lowered the curtain, tears gradually sliding down her eyes.
Mu Xingci, who was galloping past, suddenly pulled the reins of his horse. A pain in his heart made him cover his chest, and confusion flashed in his eyes.
"My Lord! What's wrong with you?" I stopped my horse with a puzzled look.
Mu Xingci raised his head and looked at him, and the pain disappeared again: "It's okay! Let's go to the military camp." He said without any doubt, and rode his horse forward again.
Three days passed seemingly uneventfully, but Mu Xingci was always absent-minded. He thought that his wounded heart would slowly heal over time.
But the opposite happened. Not only did he not forget the woman at all, but his longing for her deepened, which made him very distressed.
That afternoon, he couldn't help but come to the place where the woman lived. After hesitating for a while, he knocked on the door.
The gate opened and a servant walked out. "Who are you looking for?"
Mu Xingci couldn't help but frown when he saw this person. He had seen that doorman before, so why was there a different person today?
"I'm looking for your master Yun Wansheng." Although he was confused, he still explained his purpose.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is the Zhao family. We bought it from a woman a few days ago." The servant said truthfully.
"What?" Mu Xingci was stunned when he heard that. After a moment's pause, he clenched his fists and asked angrily, "When did she sell this house?"
"It's been three days."
"Do you know where she went?"
"I don't know. We moved in the next day and never saw that woman."
Mu Xingci suddenly felt weak all over, his eyes gradually lost focus, he turned around and walked down the stairs, looking a little dazed.
"Yun Wansheng, I'm not as ruthless as you. Do you hate me so much? I hate you so much that you chose to leave me without a word, without even caring about my feelings.
You always think it's my fault. Do you think you're not wrong for aborting our own flesh and blood? It's a living child! You're mad at me, but I'm just as mad at you.
Very good, this is very good, Yun Wansheng, you'd better not let me see you for the rest of your life, otherwise, I will make you pay."
Two months later, Shunshang State officially declared war on Dazhao State, and the people of both countries were plunged into years of war. One was looking forward to their sons returning triumphantly, and the other was looking forward to driving the enemy out of their country as soon as possible.
A year later, Shun Shang State captured another important city, but this time the price paid was a bit high. It was heard that the Southwestern General was seriously injured and almost lost his life. Later, his life was saved, but his descendants were injured and he could no longer be humane.
Originally, this matter was to be kept secret, but the general did not want to delay his fiancée because of the illness, so he wrote a letter asking her to choose to continue the engagement or cancel it?
The Marquis' Mansion did not deliberately conceal this matter, in order to let everyone in the capital know that their Mansion would not deliberately make a girl a widow for the rest of her life just because of their own merits.
After several days of deliberation, the Grand Tutor's Mansion finally decided to cancel the engagement. Once word of this spread throughout the capital, there were mixed reactions, with everyone saying all sorts of things. Gradually, the news spread far and wide.
Yun Wansheng, who was thousands of miles away in the land of Dongqiang, also heard about it. She was distracted for a moment, then uttered two words: "Serves you right!" She said it harshly, but tears were already in her eyes.
Looking at the diners downstairs and listening to the news they brought from all over the place, Yun Wansheng slowly drank her tea.
At this time, the shopkeeper came upstairs and came to her side: "Boss, here is this month's account book, please take a look."
"Manager Fang, thank you for your hard work." Yun Wansheng took the account book and said.
"You're too polite, boss. This is what I should do. If it weren't for you, my restaurant would have closed down long ago." Shopkeeper Fang said with a grateful smile.
"Manager Fang, there's no need to be polite. Since we can work together, it's a win-win relationship. Making money is the bottom line."
"That's what the boss said."
This restaurant used to be his, but with the war, the business was getting worse day by day, because all the chefs in the restaurant were drafted by the government. If he hadn't been so old, he might have died on the battlefield long ago.
He wanted to hire some skilled chefs, but he couldn't find any that suited him. Seeing that the restaurant was losing money every day, he put it up for sale.
But at this moment, the young woman paid money to buy the restaurant, and also rehired him to help continue to manage the restaurant.
Since she took over, she hired a few chefs and taught them some dishes. Gradually, the number of customers increased, and the restaurant was revitalized in just a few months.
But this young woman would only come to inspect every few days, and sometimes teach the chef one or two dishes. She seldom came here at other times, and would just hide behind the scenes to manage things, asking him not to tell anyone that the restaurant had changed owners.
He didn't understand why the woman did this, but he thought about shirking his debt because no one else knew that the owner had changed. But this young woman was very smart. When signing the transfer agreement, she actually went to the government and asked the government to witness it for her.
In addition, she was a citizen of Shunshang, and the government naturally sided with its own citizens. They warned him not to play any tricks, otherwise his whole family would be thrown into prison and he would have to work as a shopkeeper for others.
What he didn't know was that the reason Yun Wansheng didn't let anyone know that she was the owner of this restaurant was because she had her own considerations.
She was from Shun Shang. As a woman, she came to the land of Dongqiang to open a restaurant, which would inevitably attract the hatred of the local people. No matter how good her dishes were, they would not come to patronize her. After all, they had just joined Shun Shang and still hated those who invaded their country.
For the sake of safe and stable development, she can only temporarily manage the restaurant behind the scenes.
Furthermore, she did not buy this big restaurant blindly. She knew very well that if it was just an ordinary transfer agreement, the owner might regret it at any time in the future and refuse to acknowledge that he was the owner of this place.
So, she took him to the government office to act as a witness. After all, the people in the government office were all officials of Shun Shang State. If she gave them some benefits, the prime minister would naturally be on her side.
After putting the account book into her bag, Yun Wansheng left the restaurant. However, she was a little worried today. Thinking about the news she had just heard made her feel a little unhappy.
Although she hated the man, she didn't want him to have any accidents, and she didn't think that she couldn't let him go by caring about him like this.
No matter what, they are not strangers. Whether he is good or bad will still affect her mood, making it impossible for her to remain indifferent.
As he thought about it, he chuckled: "Mu Xingci, you've always been so proud and complacent in front of others. I'm afraid you never thought you would end up like this? This is the result of your arrogance. Do you really think you are invincible?"
