Chapter 175 The Lonely Man Under the Ginkgo Tree
"Will we go back to the capital after you come back?" Yun Wansheng said gently.
"Well! When I return to the capital, I will start planning our marriage." Mu Xingci planned.
"Will your mother agree to you marrying a woman of humble status?" Yun Wansheng asked worriedly.
"She will agree. It's because her son is impotent! She would be so happy if there was a woman to live with her disabled son."
"I told you you're selfish, but you don't want to listen. You even lied to your mother for a woman. If she knew the truth, she would be so angry that she would want to skin you alive."
"As long as I can let you into my Mu family's gate, I will accept being skinned alive." Guilt flashed in Mu Xingci's eyes, but he spoke lightly.
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's words and unconsciously put her arms around his waist: "What you are doing is simply treasonous."
"You're so heartless! Who am I doing this for? Wansheng, I just want you to be with me for the rest of my life. As long as you can understand my painstaking efforts, all these outrageous things I've done will be worth it."
"Since you care about me so much, I will definitely live with you in peace."
"I feel relieved when you say that." Mu Xingci said this and pressed the person under him.
The next morning, Mu Xingci got up. Yun Wansheng helped him get dressed and then walked him to the gate, just like a loving scene of a wife seeing her husband off.
"Wan Sheng, wait for me at home!" Mu Xingci's eyes were filled with reluctance.
"I will wait for you to come back, and you should be careful too." Yun Wansheng smiled.
"Okay! I'm going." Mu Xingci patted the woman's pretty face and then got on the horse.
Yun Wansheng watched him leave with his men, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "Only a fool would wait for you!" She said in a low voice, then turned and went back to the yard.
After entering the house, he packed his luggage swiftly and put the workshop he had sold and the money he had collected into his backpack.
After packing up, she did not leave in a hurry, but was careful to prevent the man from suddenly coming back.
That man has always been very scheming. Who knows if he will come back to attack her, just to see if she will take the opportunity to escape again?
Then she asked a servant to go to the city gate to inquire whether the man had left the city.
This wait lasted for half an hour. When the servant returned, he told the truth, "Master, I heard that the gatekeeper said he saw the Regent and his party leave the city gate."
Yun Wansheng felt relieved after hearing this, but she was not careless. She waited for another half an hour before she picked up her luggage and looked at the maid.
"Xiao Lan, I have to go out for a while. This letter is for my eldest brother. Please give it to him when he comes."
"Yes! Where are you going, boss?" Xiaolan asked in confusion when she saw her dressed in men's clothes and carrying two bags.
"Don't ask me about that. Just remember, you are not allowed to leave this place until my eldest brother comes. If you leave, you will lose your monthly salary."
After Yun Wansheng finished speaking, she went to the stable in the backyard. Because there was still a fifty-liang silver note in the envelope, as long as Shangguan Lan saw her farewell letter, he would help her send all the servants away.
This time she did not let the coachman follow her, but drove the horse out of the house herself, going in the opposite direction of Mu Xingci.
Riding against the wind all the way made Yun Wansheng feel extremely cool. She didn't think about the reaction of that bastard after he knew that she had escaped.
As she was driving the carriage intently into a slope, she suddenly saw a man and a horse standing under a golden ginkgo tree in front of her.
The man was dressed in a gorgeous black and red robe and a maroon cloak. In the breeze, his clothes fluttered, his long hair flowed, and the yellow leaves on his head fell with the wind. This beautiful scene set off his upright and unyielding figure like an ink painting.
Such a beautiful scenery made Yun Wansheng unable to appreciate it carefully. Her expression changed and she even forgot to stop the carriage for a moment.
When she finally reacted, she bit her red lips and resolutely approached the familiar figure.
Mu Xingci watched the carriage getting closer and closer, without moving an inch, just standing in the middle of the road blocking it.
Seeing that the man was determined not to give way, Yun Wansheng had no choice but to stop the carriage.
Mu Xingci's eyes were always fixed on the woman in the car, and when the woman looked at him, his eyes became extremely sharp.
"Where are you going?" the voice was cold.
"Why do you care where I go! Mu Xingci, since you have seen me, I don't need to deal with you anymore. I will not marry you, so please let me go." Yun Wansheng's voice became colder.
"Yun Wansheng, haven't I been good to you? Why don't you want to marry me? I've admitted my mistakes, apologized to you, and promised to marry only you in this life. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Mu Xingci, I've told you before that what's between us isn't a matter of forgiveness or not. It's that I don't like you, and I don't want to live with a man I don't love.
As long as you're in front of me, you'll remind me of the time you bullied me. Every word of humiliation, slander, and look of disdain from you is a memory I can't erase. So, even if you're a thousand times good to me, to me, you're just a nightmare that reminds me all the time."
Mu Xingci's eyes gradually dimmed with every word the woman said: "Am I really not good at all?"
"What do you think? If I hadn't been so kind to you, I think I would have died eight hundred times already." Yun Wansheng chuckled.
Mu Xingci walked up to the front of the carriage and looked at the woman in the carriage with slightly deep eyes: "Wan Sheng, I know I was a bit of a jerk back then. I will never bully you again in the future. Please don't leave, okay?" The man's tone was a little humble.
"Mu Xingci, I can only say that we are not destined to be together. It is better for us to forget each other and leave the world. Please get out of the way." Yun Wansheng said coldly.
"Yun Wansheng, I endured three years of hardship and came back just to marry you. I thought that even though you didn't love me, at least you wouldn't hate me. As long as I sincerely apologized to you, you would forgive me.
I don't want to. Everything I thought about was just my one-sided imagination. I didn't know you hated me so much, hated me so much that you didn't even want to see me. I also didn't know that what I thought was harmless would hurt you so deeply.
"It's not too late for you to know now. You don't know how much pain I have endured these days just to deal with you. I just want to leave you as soon as possible so that I can take a breath." Yun Wansheng said viciously.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's eyes full of disgust towards him, and felt a slight pain in his eyes.
"In that case, if I continue to force you, it would seem that I am tactless. I hope you have a safe journey!" With a bitter smile, the man gave way.
Yun Wansheng looked at the pain on the man's face caused by her injury, and her eyes unconsciously became moist. Then she rushed away from him.
The carriage passed by, causing the yellow leaves on the ground to fly everywhere. A few fallen leaves in the air fell on the man's shoulders, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
Mu Xingci stared blankly at the carriage that was moving further and further away, tears welling in his eyes: "Why are you so hard-hearted? Are the things I did to you really so unforgivable?"
