Chapter 174 A Jade Bracelet Causes
"I can only say that it's enough to support our family." Mu Xingci rubbed her palms.
"You are so rich, but you still steal from me. Give me back my money." Yun Wansheng stretched out her other hand to beg for money.
Mu Xingci glanced at her white little hand and took out a fragrant wooden brocade box from his bosom: "Guess what this is?"
"Isn't it the jade bracelet again?"
"It is indeed a jade bracelet, open it and take a look." Mu Xingci's tone was extremely gentle.
"Why do you like giving bracelets as gifts so much?" Yun Wansheng remembered that he had given her one before, and she muttered as she opened the small brocade box.
When she saw a jade bracelet as green as a bud lying quietly inside, she was slightly stunned.
"Isn't this the one you gave me last time?"
"Well! It's a relief that you still remember this. I bought this nice bracelet specially for you on the black market.
You know, if people knew that I, a general at that time, spent more than 10,000 taels to buy a jade bracelet, it would definitely have a bad impact.
So I changed my appearance and sneaked out alone, and even Qiyi didn't know that I went to the black market.
I wanted to cheer you up, but you sold me like a lunchbox. Tell me, how could I not be angry at that time?" Mu Xingci told the woman the truth with a slight smile on his face.
Yun Wansheng didn't expect that this is how she got the jade bracelet, and she didn't expect that this bastard had already taken a fancy to her at that time, otherwise he would not have bothered to go to the black market to buy a small toy to coax a woman.
But what does it matter if I care about you? What does it matter if I like you? When it comes to his interests and face, it does not affect him at all to continue to slander and humiliate me.
"I don't want this jade bracelet, you'd better take it back!" This jade bracelet only reminds her of unhappy things.
He wanted to use the origin of this jade bracelet to make her feel touched by him, but he didn't know that she was also in great pain on the same day.
She would never forget how this man was affectionate with her one foot, and then was so stingy that he didn't even tell her about a small birthday party.
Afterwards, when he saw that he had sold the bracelet, he came to question him with a clear conscience, and finally punished him to go to the military camp without mentioning his birthday at all.
The woman's cold face made Mu Xingci's eyes narrow slightly: "Wan Sheng, I told you the origin of this jade bracelet just to make you change your mind about me. I had already fallen in love with you at that time."
"So what? It doesn't affect your contempt for me at that time. You'd better smash this jade bracelet. Your feelings that you think are deep are a great shame to me." Yun Wansheng said coldly, and then stuffed the jade bracelet into his arms.
Mu Xingci never expected her reaction to be so big, so big that her eyes were filled with hatred for him.
His eyes darkened as he pondered for a moment: "Wan Sheng, are you blaming me for sending you to the military camp as punishment?"
"Shouldn't I blame you?" Yun Wansheng didn't explain. To her, washing clothes for a few days was nothing. It wasn't even one ten-thousandth of the fact that he had deliberately concealed the birthday party. That was what she hated the most.
That day was the most humiliating day for her. It made her truly realize that as a woman of low status in ancient times, no one treated her as a human being. She was just a toy for men to entertain themselves.
Mu Xingci didn't know where the woman's true hatred came from: "Wan Sheng, I know I did a lot of things to hurt you in the past, but if we hadn't gone through some ups and downs, I wouldn't be able to recognize my true feelings."
"Mu Xingci, you are such a selfish person. Now that you have realized your true feelings, you want to pick up the lost things again, but have you ever thought about whether that person is willing?" Yun Wansheng said in a cold voice and left the room.
If she hadn't been afraid that he was watching her too closely, which would have been detrimental to her escape, she would have thrown her words back at him.
Mu Xingci watched the woman leave unhappily. The jade bracelet on his hand felt hot. "Niyi, come in!"
"Regent, what do you want me to do?" He asked carefully. He heard everything they said clearly from outside.
"This jade bracelet is for you. If you don't like it, you can do whatever you want with it." Mu Xingci stuffed it into his hand regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
"Uh! Regent, Miss Yun is just angry, why bother with her?" Qi Yi advised.
"I know her better than you do. Take it!"
"Okay! Thank you, Regent, for the reward." Although the master did not say reward, it was because he felt that this was something he did not want. If he said reward, it would be a bit unkind, so he could only say gift, so that both of them would look better.
Mu Xingci had no taste for the dumplings that day, because he had a vague feeling that this woman didn't hate him just because she was punished to go to the military camp, but seemed to be holding a grudge against him for something else.
When he punished her by making her wash clothes in the military camp, he didn't let anyone bully her, nor did he deliberately give her more work. She washed as long as others did, and no one rushed her. It was impossible for her to be so angry with him about this matter.
"Wan Sheng, have I ever made you angry without knowing what happened?" I asked after thinking about it.
"No!" Yun Wansheng said lightly while eating dumplings.
"Impossible, you must be hiding something from me. If it was just about washing clothes for a few days, you would never stare at me with hatred." He had fought in battles for many years and was born into a family of military generals, so he was the best at observing other people's expressions.
"Mu Xingci, those things have passed. I was just angry when I thought about them just now. Now that you have agreed to marry me, let's let the unpleasant things in the past go! Mentioning them again will only affect the relationship between each other." Yun Wansheng's face was covered with a smile, and it seemed that she had really forgotten.
"Wan Sheng, no matter what I did to make you angry in the past, I apologize to you. I'm sorry!" Mu Xingci said sincerely.
"I accept! Eat it quickly! Otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold." Yun Wansheng agreed pretending to be generous.
Although the woman said she accepted his apology, Mu Xingci was still feeling uneasy.
As the autumn wind grows colder, the chill of late autumn arrives overnight.
That night, Mu Xingci took a shower and went to bed. He naturally crawled into the woman's quilt and hugged her in his arms.
"Tomorrow, your eldest brother and I will go to the Yan Clan. After we've settled the matter there, Yan Beihai, your biological father, was forcibly removed from his position as clan leader by his own clan members. They said that he had been plagued by misfortunes and that it was a bad omen. They were afraid that he would bring trouble to the entire Yan Clan.
This made Yan Beihai angry, furious and helpless, so he could only pass the throne to his brother to succeed the clan leader.
Tomorrow the new chieftain will take office. To ensure his loyalty to me, I will be there to attend his succession ceremony and to cheer him on. This way, the believers will trust him even more, and the new chieftain will be grateful for my strong support and obey my orders."
Yun Wansheng's eyes flickered slightly when she heard this: "Then you better be careful. The Yan people are very cunning."
"I will, don't worry, I won't fight an unprepared battle." Mu Xingci felt very good when he heard the woman's concern.
