Chapter 231 He went out and knelt down
Mu Xingci heard this, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "I'm afraid you won't have the chance to do evil. Wansheng, let's go!"
Having said that, he took the woman's hand and walked out of the cell, ignoring the woman behind him no matter how she shouted and cursed.
After the two of them left, Xiao Fei came in with the jailer.
"Ms. Lin, the Regent asked me to see you off. I hope you have a safe journey!"
When Lin Yao saw the chains on the jailer's hands, she stepped back in fear: "No, you can't kill me! I'm the daughter of the Grand Tutor."
Xiao Fei looked at her ridiculous reaction and said, "You are so foolish that you still act like a Miss Tai Shi when you are about to die. Go ahead!"
The two jailers obeyed the order and stepped forward, grabbed the struggling woman, then wrapped an iron chain around her neck and hanged her.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the entire capital seemed to have changed. It was much quieter than before. No one dared to bully others openly, and there were no more gangsters secretly collecting protection fees. It seemed that everyone had grown sensible.
That day, the weather was as cold as usual. Yun Wansheng stayed in the house, warming herself by the fire, writing a novel, and eating snacks from time to time. She looked very comfortable.
At this time, the door was pushed open. Yun Wansheng in the dormitory didn't pay attention because only the maid came in this early morning.
As she was writing with her eyes lowered, she suddenly noticed someone standing beside her, which made her look up.
"What are you writing?" the man asked with a smile, and took the piece of paper in her hand.
"Didn't you go to the morning court today?" Yun Wansheng asked with some surprise.
"I've been busy for so many days and it's time for me to take a break. You look quite free?" Mu Xingci said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to you that I can have this leisure time." Yun Wansheng smiled lightly.
"I'm glad to know." The man accepted it as a matter of course and looked down at what the woman had written.
"What are you writing? It's incoherent and looks like some strange story or miscellany."
"I wrote it for fun when I had nothing to do."
Mu Xingci didn't look at it any further and put it back on the table. Then he pulled over a stool and sat next to the woman.
"Wan Sheng, I have solved all your troubles. Isn't it time for you to consider our affairs?" Mu Xingci looked at the woman seriously.
Seeing him bring up the past again, Yun Wansheng paused for a moment, "Mu Xingci, I'm sorry. I know you treat me very well now, but your social circle is not what I want."
"Wan Sheng, my social circle isn't as bad as you think. Besides, you're the wife of the head of the family when you enter the house. If anyone dares to disobey you, you can just punish them and establish your authority. You won't be the one who suffers."
"I don't have the habit of beating or punishing people, so I'm not suitable to be the master of a wealthy family." Yun Wansheng frowned slightly and took a bite of the dessert.
In her heart, she still didn't want to marry into the Regent's Palace. She always felt that if she did, her hands and feet would be tied, making her life miserable.
Seeing that the woman still rejected him, Mu Xingci frowned with frustration: "Yun Wansheng, what do you want me to do in order to agree to marry me? I have done my best to make up for the things I have wronged you before. What else do you want me to do?"
Yun Wansheng raised her eyes and looked at the man who was glaring at her angrily, and smiled faintly: "Mu Xingci, thank you for everything you have done for me. From now on, you don't owe me anything anymore. I forgive you. You don't need to make it up to me anymore. We are even now. Go back!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci looked at the woman with a slightly cold look on her face. Her words seemed to forgive him, but they hurt his heart more than not forgiving him.
It was obvious that she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and him. No one would owe anyone anything from now on, and she didn't need to repay him anything.
"Sorry! I said the wrong thing just now. I shouldn't have used my kindness to you to expect you to give me something in return."
"You're right. I'm ungrateful. A heartless woman like me is not worthy of your love. You'd better forget me!" Yun Wansheng said seemingly ruthlessly.
"You are indeed ruthless, but I forced you to be ruthless." Mu Xingci raised the corners of his lips slightly with a hint of self-mockery.
Yun Wansheng's eyes warmed slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect that even after she treated him like this, he didn't blame her for being too ruthless.
Mu Xingci looked at the pain in the woman's eyes with his deep and bottomless eyes: "Wan Sheng, do you still remember the conditions you agreed to marry me?"
When Yun Wansheng heard this, before she could react to the conditions she had mentioned, she saw the man had already walked out of the room.
His sudden departure made Yun Wansheng stunned. She no longer thought about his question, but just shed tears out of grief.
She finally made the man angry and run away, but why did her heart hurt so much?
At this moment, she no longer thought about freedom, nor did she think about whether their identities were compatible. At this moment, she only thought that they were completely finished.
But what she didn't know was that while she was crying in the house, Mu Xingci did not leave, but knelt on the bluestone slabs under the steps.
At this time, light snow began to fall from the sky, falling lightly on the man, but he did not move, as if he was frozen by the cold winter.
The woman in the room cried for an unknown amount of time before she wiped her tears. She then sat in a trance for half an hour before she composed herself and stood up.
After putting on a warm cloak, she walked out of the dormitory and went straight to the door to open it, thinking of going to find her elder brother to say goodbye to him. She wanted to leave this sad capital city.
But when the door opened, she saw a person kneeling at the foot of the stairs, which instantly caught her attention and made her eyes widen in disbelief.
She saw that the man she thought had left did not leave, but was kneeling on the freezing ground.
The light snow from the sky fell all over him, making him look like a snowman. He just knelt with his back straight and motionless, which made her feel even more distressed. The tears that had just been wiped away flowed down again, and she ran quickly towards the kneeling dog man.
"Why are you doing this? Get up quickly!" Yun Wansheng cried and tried to help the man who was covered in snow.
Only then did she remember her previous joke, but she just wanted to dissuade him, but she didn't expect him to be serious with her.
Mu Xingci used his cold hand to hold down her hand that was about to help her up: "Wan Sheng, you said that as long as I agreed to kneel in the yard for a day and a night, you would agree to marry me.
I must marry you, Yun Wansheng. It's impossible for you to part ways with me." Mu Xingci said firmly.
Seeing him so stubborn, Yun Wansheng was so angry and distressed that she hit him a few times, staring at him with tears in her eyes: "If you don't get up, I really won't marry you."
When Mu Xingci heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "What did you just say?" He was afraid that he had heard it wrong.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Then just pretend I didn't say anything." Yun Wansheng had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised. She brushed away the thin snow on his hair with her small hands.
"No! You just said you would marry me, and I took it seriously." Mu Xingci smiled happily and then put his arms around the woman's waist.
"Since you've heard it, why don't you get up quickly?" Yun Wansheng held the man's arm again.
"Oh! Get up soon." Mu Xingci responded with a smile and was about to get up, but the pain from his knee made him groan in pain when he moved suddenly, which made him afraid to stand up immediately.
