Chapter 170 Seemingly Harmonious
Mu Xingci only remembered what happened back then after she reminded him: "It turns out that Yun Dashan is not your grandfather, but it is not easy for him to protect you."
"Yes! He was my mother's coachman. Just because my mother saved his life, he risked his life to save me from the pursuit of the Yan people.
I vaguely remember that after he took me to escape to the Shun Shang Kingdom, he was penniless and had to beg for food for me.
One day, a wealthy family was giving out porridge at their doorstep as a charity, so my grandfather took me to get some. Just as it was our turn, a young woman came out.
When the woman saw that I was the same age as her daughter but was living in hunger, she felt pity for me and adopted me as her adopted daughter.
But her daughter didn't like me and often bullied me behind my back. At that time, I was just thinking about finally having a full meal to eat, and I didn't care about her bullying me as a little kid.
Later, when she saw a jade pendant hanging around my neck, she snatched it away, saying that I, a child living under someone else's roof, was not worthy of wearing such a fine jade pendant.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Yan tribe came to my house because of this jade pendant and killed the entire family that had done me a favor. That day, my grandfather happened to take me to a temple fair in the neighboring county, so we escaped the disaster.
I originally didn't remember these things. If that golden bee hadn't bitten my finger today, which suddenly reminded me of the same scene from my childhood, I wouldn't have been able to recall what happened back then."
Mu Xingci listened carefully to her story of childhood, and hugged her tighter out of heartache.
"Fortunately, you're okay. Your grandfather was just a coachman back then, yet he was so loyal and righteous. This truly makes me admire him.
As for your adoptive parents, although their kindness did not bring them blessings, in order to allow them to reincarnate and enjoy glory, I will build a temple for them and have masters recite the Book of Songs for them every day to help them attain salvation as soon as possible."
When Yun Wansheng heard this, her eyes were slightly stunned. She didn't expect this man to say such words and build a temple?
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to be called the culprit of a waste of money and labor by the people."
"Don't worry! You are still far from being labeled as a evil concubine who brings disaster to the country! What's more, your adoptive parents are kind-hearted, and such good deeds need to be spread far and wide." Mu Xingci felt that it was necessary to do this.
"Mu Xingci, I don't care whether you are serious or not. I will repay my adoptive parents in my own way. There is no need for you to interfere." Yun Wansheng warned.
"Okay, okay! I don't care. I'll listen to you." Mu Xingci would not argue with her. He would just make up his mind.
In the evening, they checked into a luxurious inn in a prefecture-level city, where the bustling streets demonstrated the prosperity of the place.
Yun Wansheng came out of the shower, then opened the door and let the man who was locked outside in.
"Wan Sheng! We are an old married couple. I have seen everything about you. Why do you have to drive me away?" Mu Xingci pretended to be aggrieved and hugged the fragrant woman in his arms.
"It's not too late for you to stay in the house after we really become husband and wife. Keeping a distance from each other now will help to enhance our relationship." Yun Wansheng said nonsense.
She wanted this man to slowly relax his guard against her. Since she couldn't get rid of him right away, she could only find an opportunity to leave.
If I act too easily to accept him, he will definitely suspect that I am lying to him or something, so it is necessary to keep a distance. This way, he will only think that I am resisting him and cannot let go.
Hearing this, Mu Xingci smiled and said, "Don't you understand romance? I've experienced the beauty that comes from distance. In the past few years without you, I've thought about the beauty of our time together every day."
"Do we have good memories? Why do I only remember the scenes of you bullying me?" Yun Wansheng's eyes were filled with anger.
"How could I have ever bullied you? It's you who made me angry." Mu Xingci said in a low voice, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Yun Wansheng was flustered by his ambiguous kiss: "You completely forget the bad things I did to you, but you remember clearly the things that made me angry."
"I remember both your good and bad sides in my heart! Otherwise, why can't I forget you?" Mu Xingci stared at the otherworldly and beautiful woman with his affectionate eyes.
Yun Wansheng met the gaze of the man who had captured her heart. She knew this ancient man truly loved her, but she wondered how long this devotion would last. A year, ten years? Longer than a year, or shorter than ten? She doubted it would last any longer.
Although this man has promised to marry only her, she does not believe it, because taking concubines is the norm among the powerful in ancient times, and it is not something that a woman like you can stop.
Where there are many women, there will naturally be troubles, and she also knows the intrigues in the inner house.
She didn't want to become a housewife stuck in a slum, as that would drive her crazy sooner or later.
What's more, this man is now a regent. He still likes me and can use his hidden illness as an excuse to reject other women.
But one day he got tired of his bad temper and went back to his previous ways of slandering and looking down on himself. In the end, he said that he had recovered and still married her as a concubine.
What's more, the harm this man caused her was still fresh in her mind. How could she believe his lies and go to the capital with him?
"Hello? What are you thinking about?" Mu Xingci noticed that the woman was distracted and couldn't help but pinch her little face lightly.
"Uh! I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just sleepy." Yun Wansheng collected his thoughts and said casually.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll carry you to bed." As he said that, Mu Xingci bent down and picked up the person.
After both of them got on the bed, Mu Xingci extinguished the candle and pressed the woman under him.
"Wansheng, how about we make love tonight?"
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded softly. Since she had decided to leave, she didn't mind playing a passionate role with this man.
Seeing that the woman agreed readily, Mu Xingci's brows lit up with joy. He then moved his palm and kissed her sensitive neck with his thin lips, then slowly moved to the woman's cherry lips.
As the man's kiss became more and more passionate, Yun Wansheng was aroused by him and responded to him unconsciously.
That night, the two of them were entangled in each other's arms. The man seemed to have endless energy, and he used all kinds of tricks to make the woman feel extremely comfortable, so that she would remember firmly who was going to take her to the clouds.
After the woman begged for mercy again and again, the man finally let her go, but it was already past four o'clock in the morning.
Mu Xingci got out of bed, washed a wet towel, and carefully cleaned the woman. Finally, he went behind the screen to wash himself.
When he returned to the bed, he found that the woman had fallen asleep heartlessly, which made him laugh. He lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips lovingly again, then hugged her and fell asleep.
