Chapter 227 Miss Lin secretly meets her adulterer
But why would a young lady like Lin Yao come to such a shabby place?
Thinking of this, she continued to wait in an alley. She waited for almost an hour until she finally heard the door open.
I carefully looked over, expecting to see Lin Yao, but instead I saw a young man walking out of the door first.
As soon as he came out, he looked around. When he looked over, Yun Wansheng had already retreated back into the alley.
The man waited until all the passersby had passed before walking to the door and said, "Ms. Lin, you can come out now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao, who was inside the door, walked out with a slightly panicked look on her face. However, due to her nervousness and panic, she accidentally stepped on empty air when going down the stairs, causing her to fall forward.
But at this moment, the man at the bottom of the stairs grabbed her waist and hugged her, saving her from a small disaster.
"Ms. Lin, are your legs weak because of what I did to you?" the man teased her ambiguously in her ear.
Lin Yao listened to the handsome man's explicit teasing, and her face turned red with shame. She pushed him away and said, "You despicable man, if you do this again, I won't come here again."
After cursing shyly, she quickly got on the carriage. She knew that she was on the street and couldn't stay with the man for too long.
The man seemed reluctant to watch the carriage leave, a smug look on his handsome face, but his tone was contemptuous: "What kind of Miss Tai Shi is this? Isn't she just a slut? She even did something like cheating on someone just for a child."
Yun Wansheng, who was hiding not far away, saw the whole scene.
Although she didn't hear clearly what they were saying, judging from their sneaky actions and close contact, the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.
Thinking of a certain possibility, a cold light flashed in Yun Wansheng's eyes. God really helps me!
Having caught the handle of his mortal enemy, Yun Wansheng walked back in a very happy mood, without noticing that there was a masked man hiding in a century-old tree diagonally opposite.
After she left, the masked man jumped down from the high tree branch. When he stood still, he looked in the direction of the disappearing figure with a puzzled look, and then quickly walked in another direction.
As he walked, the man took off his veil, revealing a handsome and resolute face.
The man came all the way to the Regent's Palace, and as soon as the door opened, he walked straight in.
In the main courtyard, Mu Xingci was working on official business in his study when a voice came from outside the door: "Regent, Guard Li requests an audience."
"Let him in!" Mu Xingci said without raising his head.
As the door opened, Guard Li Hong walked in, his figure slightly bent. When he reached the front of the hall, he greeted them naturally: "Reporting to the Regent, I followed Miss Lin all the way today and saw her having a private meeting with Zeng Yiwen again."
"What did they say today?" Mu Xingci kept asking.
"Uh... apart from those two ambiguous words, I heard Zeng Yiwen muttering to himself, as if Miss Lin had an affair with him just to have a child. It seems that the Grand Tutor had indeed secretly allowed them to have an affair." Li Hong picked out the important things and said.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci paused his writing and then raised his eyes: "I never thought that a young lady from the Imperial Tutor's House would do such a shameful and despicable thing just to consolidate her position as a young lady.
What I did not expect was that it was the Grand Tutor and his wife who came up with such a ridiculous idea for her, to let her newly accepted student become the adulterer.
"Humph! You've truly opened my eyes." Mu Xingci spoke with a touch of sarcasm, but in his heart he felt lucky. Fortunately, he didn't marry Lin Yao, otherwise...? Mu Xingci didn't think about it any further.
"Regent, what should we do next?" Li Hong asked.
"Keep following! When the time comes, I will expose their affair to everyone." Mu Xingci said coldly.
"Yes! Lord Regent, I noticed someone following Miss Lin today, but I don't recognize that person."
"Oh?" Mu Xingci frowned and looked at him: "Did you see his face clearly?"
"I saw it clearly. It was a short man. Judging from his clothes, he looked like a knight."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xingci naturally recalled what happened in the morning. It seemed that the knight named Yan Li was not tall either.
"Next time you see him, just follow him and don't hurt him." Thinking of this, he reminded him.
"I will keep this in mind."
"Well! Go down and have a rest! Keep watching Lin Yao tomorrow."
"Yes!" He replied and walked out.
A cold wind blew on the cold winter night, leaving the streets deserted early, but an ordinary carriage was driving slowly on the street.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of Shangguan Mansion. The coachman opened the door and the people in the carriage came out.
The master and servant entered the house and the door was closed again.
At this time, Yun Wansheng was leaning on the bed thinking about his plan to deal with Lin Yao.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the door outside the house being pushed open. She didn't think much about it and thought it was the maid coming in.
But when that person entered her room, she looked up and realized that the person was not a maid.
"Why are you here again?" His tone seemed unhappy.
"How can I not come when you are here?" The person who came was Mu Xingci.
"What are you talking about? This is my home. It will affect my reputation if you, a man from outside, always come to my room."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci raised his thin lips and sat beside her, leaning against the head of the bed with her, and holding the little hand that wanted to push him away.
"If you're worried about losing your reputation, I can welcome you in anytime."
"Mu Xingci, I've told you so many times that I will not marry you. Just give up on this idea!" Yun Wansheng refused in a calm voice.
"Wan Sheng, if you want me to give up, I'll have to die. Otherwise, I'll pester you every day until I drag you into the bridal chamber."
Mu Xingci didn't care about the woman's cold rejection. He rested his head on the woman's shoulder and whispered sweet words in her ear.
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's shameless words and the forced indifference that made her relax a little.
“Mu Xingci, we…?” Before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked by the man’s hand: “Wan Sheng, no matter how you refuse, I will not give up on marrying you.
So, stop repeating those same old things. I won't listen to your so-called excuses."
Yun Wansheng was so blocked by him that she could only swallow back what she wanted to say. She raised her hand and pushed his arm away: "Mu Xingci, you are still as domineering and unreasonable as ever."
"Why should I reason with you about something bad? If I reason with you, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Mu Xingci raised a ruffian smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's doting words, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. This bastard is getting better and better at talking.
If this young girl who is not very worldly-wise listened to his words, she would definitely be deceived by him immediately.
"Mu Xingci, I won't say any more nonsense. Anyway, I will leave the capital after my eldest brother gets married in a few days."
