Chapter 49 Don’t blame me for not standing up for you
Seeing this scene, Jun's face turned a little ugly: "What's going on? Where's the table?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yun Wansheng asked inexplicably.
"What I have ordered is to be frugal and practical, and to have everything. You are obviously missing something here. Lin Yao has a table over there." He had just come from there, but he didn't see anything missing from her place.
"Maybe the person in charge of this area forgot about this tent?" Yun Wansheng stood up and sat on the bed.
"Mingyi, go and call Lord Zhou over." Mu Xingci said coldly.
"My Lord, you don't need to find anyone to hold accountable. It's just a matter of a table. I can just make do with it." Yun Wansheng didn't want to complicate things.
"Is this just a matter of a table? If anyone dares to fool me about this, then if a war breaks out, it will shake the morale of the army." Mu Xingci saw further.
"Ugh! Is it that serious?"
"I may not care about other things, but I must understand this matter clearly. The most taboo in a military camp is to sow discord among the people."
At this time, Zhou Sihong's voice came in: "My Lord, what are your instructions?"
"Come in!" the voice was cold.
Zhou Sihong walked in, slightly bent over. "My Lord, what brings you to this humble official so urgently?"
"Master Zhou, can you see what's missing from this tent?" Mu Xingci said calmly.
Zhou Sihong was panicked when he heard this. He quickly looked around and finally found that an important table was missing: "My Lord, I remember clearly that there is a table in each tent. Although it is not big, it is more than enough for eating and writing.
Yesterday I checked every tent one by one and didn't miss a single one. Now one is suddenly missing and I don't know what happened.
"You don't know either?" Mu Xingci was a little surprised.
"My Lord, allow me to go out and ask the soldiers on guard."
"Go!"
After he left, Mu Xingci looked at the woman on the bed and asked, "Guess what happened?"
"I can't guess, and I haven't offended anyone." Yun Wansheng shook her head.
Mu Xingci was about to say something else when Zhou Sihong quickly came back: "My Lord, I asked the soldiers on guard, and they said... they said they saw Miss Lin's maid not long ago and ordered someone to move the table in the tent away.
They wanted to report it to the lower officials, but the maid threatened them to stop interfering, so I didn’t know about the table.”
Mu Xingci's face darkened when he heard this: "Master Zhou, tell those two soldiers not to mention what happened today to anyone else."
"Yes! My Lord, I will go find another table."
"Um!"
Zhou Sihong left, but the coldness in Mu Xingci's eyes grew colder. "Yun Wansheng, look, this is the fate of you who offend others easily. I hope that after this incident, you will think carefully before doing anything again, and never act rashly again."
"Thank you for your reminder. If I had known that your fiancée was a vengeful person, I would not have rejected her so easily." Yun Wansheng chuckled insincerely.
"To say she's vindictive seems a bit too much. She's the Grand Tutor's only daughter, and she's had everything she wanted since she was little. Over time, she's developed a personality where everything revolves around her."
"It seems that you know her quite well. Congratulations on finding a treasure." Yun Wansheng laughed sarcastically.
"A rich girl like her is just throwing a tantrum. I think she's just mad at you for not lending her the white horse. From now on, just don't provoke her."
Mu Xingci was not speaking for Lin Yao out of thin air. Although he was not in the capital, the Mu family often wrote to him about her, saying that the young lady was just a little spoiled and had no bad intentions. He had never heard of her beating or punishing any servants, so he had some understanding of his fiancée.
"Okay! I will try my best not to provoke her. I will give her the white horse later. Is that enough sincerity of mine?" Yun Wansheng said in a light tone.
Mu Xingci looked at the unhappy woman with deep eyes: "Yun Wansheng, don't blame me for not being able to help you. If I meddle in your affairs, your life here will become more and more difficult. Do you understand?"
"I understand! I'm not asking you to stand up for me." Yun Wansheng said coldly.
Mu Xingci said nothing more, raised his hand and looked at Qi Yi: "Bring the dagger here."
Qi Yi obediently handed a brocade box to him.
Mu Xingci handed the brocade box back to Yun Wansheng: "I bought you the black iron dagger. Use it for self-defense."
Yun Wansheng was slightly stunned when she heard this: "The one worth three thousand taels?"
"Well! Open it and take a look." Mu Xingci looked at her surprised little face and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
Yun Wansheng opened the brocade box as instructed, and indeed saw the black iron dagger from the Niu family's iron shop.
"Why did you buy it again suddenly?"
"Just think of it as me trying to cheer you up." Mu Xingci said with a smile, pushing the woman down on the bed and pressing her under him.
His actions made Yun Wansheng's face tense. "Hey! Don't do anything rash. If your fiancée finds out, she'll definitely see me as a thorn in her side."
"Don't worry, she won't know. My people are guarding them and their servants! They will report to me if anything happens."
"It's really frustrating for you, a marquis, to have to sleep with a woman in secret. I despise you."
Mu Xingci looked down at the mistress who looked down on him and laughed, "You know nothing. If I tell her I have a mistress right after she arrives, it will affect the relationship between our two families. When we get married, I will have the final say on which woman I marry."
"Scumbag! Get out!" Yun Wansheng became even more angry when he heard that.
"A scumbag?" Mu Xingci curled the corners of his lips slightly, leaned over and kissed the woman.
At noon, a series of roaring sounds like bull horns came from outside the tent, causing everyone to walk out of the tent and then find their own teams.
Xiao Fei was in charge of Yun Wansheng, which allowed Yun Wansheng to quickly know where to gather.
When Yun Wansheng arrived at the gathering place, the dozen or so young ladies also arrived one after another. They were all dressed neatly and had a bit of chivalrous style.
When they were about to mount their horses, they suddenly heard a woman say, "Ladies, please wait."
Yun Wansheng turned her head to look at the person who spoke, and saw that it was the maid beside Miss Lin.
When she spoke, the others stopped and Zhou Yanyan asked first, "Ms. Lin, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Yao smiled and said, "It's really nothing serious. I just feel that after waiting so long for this hunt, it wouldn't be very meaningful if we just rushed in like this."
"What do you want?" Song Yaqing took a few steps forward and asked.
"It's simple, a competition! Everyone who came to participate in this hunting ground must have some skills. We can take this opportunity to compete with each other and see who can kill more animals and who will win. I offer a reward of 500 taels. This will make the competition more interesting. What do you think?"
The women looked at each other after hearing this. Sun Xianglan said, "Miss Lin, you may not know the rules of the women's hunting grounds just now. The Marquis has expressly forbidden us from going into the mountains in a separate competition. He's afraid that there are unknown dangers in the mountains that we can't handle individually."
