Chapter 172 I Like You More and More
Yun Wansheng ate her own: "There are so many things I haven't done before."
Mu Xingci paused for a moment while eating after hearing this, then smiled and said, "That's right, thank goodness you're not a spy, otherwise I would be in big trouble."
"You just found out! You should thank me for not killing you." Yun Wansheng rolled his eyes at him.
"Thank you, Madam Yun, for showing mercy. I will always remember your kindness." Mu Xingci teased the woman.
Shangguan Lan, who was standing by, watched the two of them flirting with each other as if no one was around, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He could only pretend to be invisible and eat by himself.
At this time, Yun Wansheng poured them both a glass of wine: "Brother, don't just eat, drink some!" His tone was natural and casual.
"Shangguan Lan, come, let me toast you a glass." Mu Xingci said, holding up the wine glass.
"I dare not. I will toast you." Shangguan Lan took the wine glass cautiously.
"Shangguan Lan, we will be a family from now on. You don't have to be so distant from me."
"Regent, as long as you can treat me, your sister, sincerely, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation! I toast you with this glass of wine." As he said this, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Shangguan Lan, I didn't marry your sister on a whim. We have gone through many trials and tribulations to be together, so I am serious about this relationship." After he finished speaking sincerely, he drank the wine from the glass in his hand.
Yun Wansheng looked at the two men in front of her drinking together about her affairs. Although she had a smile on her face, she felt bitter in her heart.
The lunch ended in a harmonious atmosphere. Mu Xingci and Shangguan Lan returned to the Military Affairs Office together to discuss the affairs of the Yan tribe.
Yun Wansheng then left the house, bought a bottle of contraceptive pills, and went to deal with the affairs of the workshop. By the way, she asked the shopkeepers to urge those merchants who were dragging their feet on paying their debts.
It was already evening when she returned home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Mu Xingci sitting behind the desk looking at something.
"You're back so early?" he asked casually, then walked behind the screen to wash his face.
"You came back late." Mu Xingci put down the book about Dazhao's style in his hand and watched the woman go behind the screen.
Yun Wansheng came out after washing and saw him still sitting there: "What are you looking at?" As she spoke, she walked to the table.
"It's nothing. Wansheng, I'm wondering, since you know so much, why did you and your grandparents have to rely on singing to make a living? Even if you sold one song, your life would not be so miserable." Mu Xingci looked at the woman beside him with a puzzled look.
"Uh! Wasn't I helpless at that time? If I act too ostentatiously, I'm afraid of being targeted by bad guys. Wouldn't my grandfather and I be in a worse situation then?" A trace of guilt flashed in Yun Wansheng's eyes, and his face pretended to be calm.
Mu Xingci thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "That's right. It's not easy to make a living in that remote place. I was just thinking too simply."
"You have enough to eat and drink, and you're busy with military affairs all day long. How can you have time to think about the affairs of the lower class?"
Mu Xingci listened to the woman teasing him, and with a slight smile on his lips, he pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap: "If I had known that you were my wife, I would have taken you to my side and taken good care of you when you came to Lizhou City."
"You can say sweet words so easily now, and you don't even feel embarrassed." Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him and tried to get off him.
"What's so awkward about us? I really think so. During the years of war, I sometimes thought that if people could be reborn at a certain moment with their memories, it would change many of the original trajectories.
I even thought, if I could save you when you were being hunted, would we have a different ending?" Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was so close to him with deep affection.
Yun Wansheng looked at the man with advanced brains with a curious look in her eyes: "Mu Xingci, I didn't expect you to be able to come up with a play about rebirth."
"From what you said, you have thought about it too?"
"Everyone has their own dreams and fantasies, especially those of us at the bottom of society who don't live up to our expectations. We can only think about it to comfort ourselves."
"Wan Sheng, I find that our personalities are becoming more and more compatible. We can talk about anything together. You have never let my paintings fall on the ground and I couldn't pick them up." The love in Mu Xingci's eyes was obvious.
"I think it's because you don't date many women. All those young ladies are more eloquent than me. Don't force yourself to praise me. I know my own worth." Yun Wansheng poked the man's chest with her finger.
Mu Xingci took the opportunity to hold her small hand: "That's different. What those young ladies said were just some words showing off their literary talent. If I said these words to them, they would definitely answer me, "The Regent's idea is so novel, I don't quite understand it." And then there was no further response.
Because they simply don't know how to respond, and in their lives they don't think about the suffering of the lower classes, but instead indulge in wild and absurd fantasies about rebirth and changing their fate."
Yun Wansheng couldn't help but laugh when she heard him imitate the women's emphasis. "Hearing what you said, it seems like I've found another way to make a fortune."
"Oh? What way?" Mu Xingci kissed her fingers and said lovingly.
Yun Wansheng was about to say it when she suddenly realized she couldn't tell this man. She changed her mind and said, "I want to open a women's clothing store when I go to the capital. There are so many wealthy young ladies there, and my business will definitely be good then."
"This is a good idea. I will give you a few shops to run first, and you can make decisions on everything after we get married." Mu Xingci said generously.
"Your Mu family can open a shop? Isn't it forbidden by the government to engage in business, especially in the capital?"
"Why not? We are a noble family of marquises and military commanders with a history of a hundred years. It's perfectly normal for us to open a shop and do business. How can we compare to those ordinary officials?"
Mu Xingci briefly talked about the situation of the Mu family, but he would not tell her the details now.
"No wonder your Mu family has stood firm for a hundred years. It turns out that your family has a strong foundation!" Yun Wansheng seemed to be mocking her, but in fact she was envious and admired him.
At this time, the voice of the maid Xiaolan came in: "Prince Regent, Master, the meal is ready."
"Bring it in!" Yun Wansheng said as she got off the man.
After dinner, Xiaolan prepared bath water for Yun Wansheng and went downstairs.
"Do you want to wash first or should I?" Yun Wansheng looked at Mu Xingci who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
"You wash first! I'll wash later." Mu Xingci continued to drink tea.
Yun Wansheng didn't say anything else. She took her clothes and went behind the screen.
Mu Xingci drank his tea slowly, but his eyes naturally turned to the screen. Listening to the sound of water splashing from inside, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the annoying screen.
Yun Wansheng was washing with a heavy heart when she suddenly heard someone coming from behind. However, she did not panic, but rolled her eyes secretly. She knew that this bastard would not wait peacefully.
