Chapter 32 Unexpected Facts
"Are you kidding me?" Yun Wansheng felt a little uneasy. Didn't she completely offend this bastard by scolding him just now?
"I never said a word about pushing you out from the beginning to the end. It's just what you think."
Mu Xingci reminded the woman. He didn't expect that just wanting to tease the mistress would cause such a big reaction and even make her point at his nose and scold him.
Yun Wansheng looked at the powerful person in front of her in a daze, wondering if there was any room for improvement.
"Uh! I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't mean to scold you just now. I thought you agreed to the conditions of those three young ladies, so I spoke without thinking. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me." She still wanted to give it a try to see if it would work.
"But it sounds to me like what you said is from the bottom of your heart! It seems that you have been feeling aggrieved for a long time?" Mu Xingci sat still and stared at her, his eyes showing no emotion.
"My Lord, please don't take my words seriously. How can I feel miserable living with you? You've given me a life of plenty, a life of plenty. It's much happier than when I was singing for money."
"It's rare that you still remember all this. I thought you had forgotten who you were before. So, if I raped you, do you still need to surrender yourself to the police?" A cold light flashed in Mu Xingci's eyes.
If Yun Wansheng wasn't stupid, she wouldn't dare ask him to surrender.
"My Lord, I've become your woman. It's inappropriate to force myself on you anymore. I was just speaking in anger just now."
"But I took it seriously. Although it was wrong for me to force you, I was also framed. If I had really gone to the government, the chancellor would not only not punish me, but would have investigated the person who harmed me.
And you are just a small and insignificant person. How could the government offend me, a great general, for you? Even if you complain about the unfairness of God, it is useless. In this world, the powerful and wealthy have the final say.
At first, I wanted to give you some silver to get rid of you, but your grandfather begged me to take you in, saying that it would be difficult for you to get married after you lost your virginity, and he even asked me to raise you.
Regardless, I felt sorry for you, so I agreed to your grandfather's request. Initially, I had no intention of looking for you again, but you repeatedly sent messages asking me to visit you at the other courtyard.
Later, you acted pitiful, and I was also a hot-blooded man, so naturally I slept with you again.
You keep saying that I forced you to be my mistress and made you suffer, but why don't you think about it, how could I have ever liked you since you were just a young girl with no figure and no looks at that time.
This Lord also admits that my intentions were not pure when I recruited you. At that time, I only thought that as a general stationed in the southwest, I must not have any stain.
So, when your grandfather begged me, I silently agreed. "Yun Wansheng, if it weren't for these two reasons, how could a young girl like you, who hasn't even grown up yet, be worthy of being my woman?" Mu Xingci walked up to the woman and looked at her with a gloomy look.
Yun Wansheng looked at the cold-faced man opposite her with a slightly stunned look in her eyes. She never thought that her status as a concubine was also due to the original owner's grandfather.
"Since you don't want to, it's not too late to let me go now." Yun Wansheng blinked lightly, and her tone no longer had the previous righteousness.
Hearing this, Mu Xingci chuckled softly, "Who said it's not too late? You've scolded me like a worthless person, and you still want to get away with it? I've said before that I'm not a good-tempered person. Since you insulted me like this today, any punishment that follows is your own fault."
"What do you think?" The words had already been said. Yun Wansheng knew that apologizing would be of no use, so her face simply turned cold.
Mu Xingci did not see any panic on the woman's face, her expression was as indifferent as that of a stranger.
"Someone come!"
As the man spoke, Butler Yang, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in: "My Lord, what are your instructions?"
"This Yun Wansheng doesn't know how to respect hierarchy and dares to insult the head of the family. She is now sent to the laundry house. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the general's mansion. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!" Mu Xingci gave the order with a cold look in his eyes.
Yun Wansheng did not beg for mercy. She knew that even if she pretended to commit suicide again, this man would not have any mercy on her.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman with deep eyes as she left in a lonely and arrogant manner. He did not move for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Yun Wansheng followed housekeeper Yang to the laundry room, where she saw three maids sitting in the middle of the room washing clothes.
Housekeeper Yang called a maid over, whispered a few words to her and left.
As soon as the housekeeper left, the old woman Zhang, who had been smiling flatteringly, turned to look at Yun Wansheng and her face immediately turned cold.
"Bitch, come with me." Then she was about to leave.
"Mrs. Zhang, there is one thing you have to understand clearly. I am a good citizen, not a slave sold into the mansion. Don't use the word 'slut' to describe me." Yun Wansheng reminded her coldly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang paused, then turned to look at her: "Oh! So you are still a stubborn girl. However, even if you are not a slave who has sold your body, you are still a lowly person that the master wants to punish. I have the right to call you a lowly maid."
Yun Wansheng was about to retort when she suddenly remembered something and suppressed her temper: "Arrange the work!"
"You're smart!" Mrs. Zhang pursed her thick lips and waved her hand to signal her to follow.
When she came to the three maids, she said impatiently, "Don't wash the clothes you three are responsible for. From today on, all these dirty clothes will be washed by Yun Wansheng. Now go and clean the yard."
The three maids were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"
Yun Wansheng looked at their smug expressions after being liberated, and sat down in front of the basin to wash without saying a word. She just responded to whatever Mrs. Zhang said, and ignored the three maids who asked her who she was and where she came from.
Seeing that she ignored them, they stopped bothering themselves and went about their own business.
It was noon when she finished washing. A maid called her to eat, but Yun Wansheng just responded politely and did not go to eat. She was not hungry at all at this time.
By the time she had finished cleaning the three people, it was already late afternoon. Yun Wansheng dragged her exhausted body to find Mrs. Zhang.
"Auntie Zhang, where do I sleep?"
"The row on the left is the ground floor. You can just sleep in the second room. The bedding and other supplies have been left there for you." Mrs. Zhang lay on the head of her kang without moving a muscle.
Yun Wansheng found the room. It was not big, and the bed was a bunk bed that could accommodate four people. She knew at a glance where she would sleep because her bedding was loose and placed on the edge of the bed.
After making her bed, Yun Wansheng buried her head on the pillow. She was so tired that she cursed that bastard marquis in her heart and fell asleep unknowingly.
