Chapter 41 The Fiancée is Here
Yun Wansheng raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze. "My Lord, it's not that I can't say it, but I'm embarrassed to say it. I think intimate words are something that only two people in love can say naturally. You don't love me, and I don't love you. It's really hard for me to say it."
When Mu Xingci heard this, his handsome face darkened and he got off her and covered her with the quilt.
Yun Wansheng watched him get out of bed and dress without saying a word. She bit her red lips lightly and said nothing.
Mu Xingci was dressed neatly and turned to look at her: "Yun Wansheng, you are becoming more and more annoying." After saying this in a cold voice, he strode out of the room.
If she doesn't love him, then she doesn't love him. Why does she have to tell him clearly and make him upset and unhappy? It seems that some lies have to be maintained. Look, the consequence of forcing her is to bring trouble upon herself.
Yun Wansheng watched him leave coldly and ruthlessly, and whispered unhappily, "Do you think you're worth being admired?"
That night, Mu Xingci did not come, and Aunt Wang prepared a table of delicious food, but Yun Wansheng ate it alone.
"Auntie Wang, come and sit down, let's eat together." Yun Wansheng motioned her to sit down.
"No, we have some in the kitchen." Aunt Wang placed the last dish on the tray on the table.
"I can't finish all these dishes by myself. If there's one more person, there'll be less waste. Please sit down!"
"Okay!" Wang Ma smiled.
After the master and servant finished eating, Wang Ma said, "Miss Yun, have you upset the Marquis again?"
"He is just too stingy, how can you blame me?" Yun Wansheng smiled indifferently.
"Miss Yun, if you keep getting angry at the Marquis every other day, your future life will be miserable. This old servant advises you not to be so willful, or it will be too late to regret it later."
"Wang Ma, do you think that as a concubine, I will be doted on by him forever? When his wives and concubines come into the family, I, his concubine, will be irrelevant. Rather than being neglected in the future, I might as well let him neglect me now. That way, I won't have to worry too much about him."
"Miss Yun, I know what you said is reasonable, but you don't think about it. Now is different from the future. If you coax him now, even if he doesn't come to the other courtyard in the future, he will still take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But if you offend him now, your life will be extremely hard in the future." Wang Ma said in a deep voice.
"Auntie Wang, I know you're trying to persuade me for my own good, but I have my pride. Even if he kicks me out one day, I won't regret what I did today. So, there's no need to persuade me. Clear the dishes and get out!"
Yun Wansheng said this indifferently, then stood up to help clear the plates.
When Aunt Wang heard her say this, she couldn't help but sigh, and stopped trying to persuade her. She quietly cleaned the table with her.
For three consecutive days, the cold wind of late autumn blew across the entire border city, and people who knew the cold and heat put on another layer of clothes.
Yun Wansheng got up a little late that day. After she finished dressing up, she called Wang Ma to go shopping for clothes.
The two of them walked one after the other in the bustling street and soon entered a well-decorated clothing store.
There were not many customers in the shop. Yun Wansheng declined the waiter's invitation and chose on her own. She did not look at the silks and brocades, but only selected cotton and linen clothes.
Mother Wang watched from the side with worry in her eyes. She really didn't know what this woman was thinking.
She could have coaxed a good man into living a good life with fine clothes, but she chose the opposite and ended up living a miserable and lonely life.
Yun Wansheng, unaware of her confusion, chose a dark cloak and said, "Madam Wang, what do you think of this color?"
"Miss Yun, this color is a bit old-fashioned. The light red and aqua blue ones are nice."
Yun Wansheng took a look at the two colors and said, "The one that's too light won't get dirty easily. Let's go with this one!"
"Miss Yun, please make the decision." Aunt Wang agreed with her.
"Let's take a look at the clothes again." With that, Yun Wansheng went to the other side.
Just as Yun Wansheng was trying on a dark red dress, she glanced inadvertently and saw two more guests, a man and a woman, coming in at the door.
When she was about to look away, she saw who the man was. This made her stunned for a moment, and then she turned around pretending not to see it.
The man also saw her, and when he saw that she deliberately turned away and ignored him, his handsome face couldn't help but darken slightly.
"Brother Xingci, is this clothing store the largest in this city?" The young girl who came with him called out sweetly.
"Well! Lin Yao, this place is not like the capital. Shops like this are the best here." Mu Xingci said in a gentle tone.
"Brother Xingci, you have been here for three years. It has been very hard for you." There was heartache in Lin Yao's eyes.
"I am not suffering, but I am afraid you will have to endure some hardship for a while now that you are here."
"I'm not afraid. As long as Brother Xingci is here, I can endure any hardship."
"Little girl, hurry up and choose some clothes! See if there is anything suitable?" Mu Xingci said with a slight smile on his lips.
"Okay!" Lin Yao responded with affection, and followed the waiter to look at new clothes.
Mu Xingci glanced at the woman who had her back to him, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
With their appearance, Yun Wansheng gave up the idea of choosing carefully. She just picked up two sets of clothes and went to the counter to pay.
After leaving the shop, Wang Ma looked back with a puzzled look.
"Miss Yun, who is that beautiful lady?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yun Wansheng smiled.
"Yeah! That's right. The way that young lady is dressed doesn't look like someone from our area. And her radiant complexion can't be achieved here."
"Mother Wang, you see, she's quite capable! Judging from her innocent nature, she must have never suffered any injustice. She must be the daughter of some wealthy family."
"Miss Yun, now that the Marquis has a woman by his side, it's hard to say what will happen to you." Aunt Wang was a little worried.
"If it's hard to say, then let's not talk about it. I actually hope they can become a couple and let the Marquis forget me." Yun Wansheng smiled indifferently.
"Miss Yun, it's too late to say anything now. I hope you can let it go."
"I will."
The master and servant talked and then returned to the villa.
The general's mansion was very lively the next day. Mu Xingci invited several good friends and several rich young ladies.
Just as everyone was sitting in the living room waiting for the master of the house, the master walked in with a gentle expression, and a beautiful woman came in with him.
The girl was wearing a pink dress and a crimson cloak. Her delicate face was beautiful and lively, and her black hair was decorated with golden hairpins and tassels. She was obviously a lady from a noble family.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Everyone stood up and saluted.
"You're welcome, everyone." Mu Xingci raised his eyes slightly and signaled them not to be polite.
