Chapter 55 The Marquis's Anger
After listening to her, Yun Wansheng just chuckled and said, "Of course I understand what you said, but so what? As long as I serve the Marquis well, I believe he will not ignore me in the future." She said it humbly, but there was a coldness in her eyes.
"As expected, lowly people have lowly thoughts. It's hard for a woman like you to enter the upper class. It's impossible for you to live the life of a superior person." Zixia said with disdain and let go of her with force.
Yun Wansheng touched her aching scalp and glared at her coldly: "You don't need to worry about how I live my life."
"Why don't I have to worry about you? Didn't you eat the meal and drink the water I brought you last night? By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll serve you now." Zixia emphasized the word "serve".
"I don't want to eat, so you don't have to serve me." Yun Wansheng knew that she had bad intentions.
"How can I not eat? When the Marquis comes back and sees that you haven't eaten, he will definitely blame me." Zixia said, bringing over a bowl of lean meat porridge.
"Don't worry, it won't be hot this time. I won't be stupid enough to burn you. I'll just put it on your head to warn you. I hope you won't mess with me again in the future."
"You dare! If you spill the porridge on my head, the Marquis will definitely not believe you again when he comes back." Yun Wansheng was really afraid that she would spill the porridge on herself.
"You don't need to worry about me. I'll wash your hair with cold water later. When the Marquis comes back, I'll say that you insisted on washing your hair and I washed it because I couldn't stop you. Who do you think the Marquis will believe?"
He smiled evilly and raised his hand to knock the bowl of porridge down.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard a strong wind coming from behind her. When she realized someone was coming in and wanted to turn around, she was suddenly kicked in the back and kicked out instantly. She hit the tent and almost collapsed it.
"You bold and slutty maid, who gave you the courage to pretend to obey but actually disobey?" Mu Xingci stared at the maid whom he once trusted with anger.
Zixia never expected her master to return so soon. She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, ignoring the blood spitting from her mouth. "My Lord, please calm down. This servant did not mean to do anything. I just can't stand her taking advantage of your favor to offend you repeatedly. So I taught her a lesson. I hope she will serve you well."
"For my own good? But why does everything you say sound to me like you are trying to sow discord between me and her?" Murderous intent flashed in Mu Xingci's eyes.
"No, no, I just want her to recognize her identity and not let her have any other fantasies." Zixia said in panic.
"No wonder I believed you so completely. You are a slut, and you are really good at speaking. I guess you were just trying to fool me with what you did before."
"My Lord, I have always been loyal to you and have never deceived you!"
"No? You still dare to lie to me now? When Yun Wansheng left the General's Mansion that day, did you really send a carriage to take her back?"
Only then did he understand. No wonder Song Yaqing said that day that she saw Yun Wansheng's injured hand and said that she was the one who punished him. He was puzzled when he heard it.
Yun Wansheng was sitting in the car, how could she run into Miss Song and let her see her injured hands? Based on his understanding of Yun Wansheng, she would never deliberately show her injured hands in front of others.
Now that I think about it, the reason why Miss Song saw Yun Wansheng's hand was because this woman didn't go back by car, but walked back to the villa. Only in this way could she run into Song Yaqing and see it clearly.
Zixia didn't expect that her master would ask about the past, which made her even more panicked, but she still didn't dare to admit it. She couldn't let her master lose complete trust in her.
"My Lord, I am innocent. Don't listen to Miss Yun's one-sided statement. I did send a carriage to take her back that day. If you don't believe me, ask the driver."
"You still dare to quibble after all this. Well, you're quite eloquent, aren't you? I want to hear how you'll eloquence next. You, go get Song Yaqing."
"Yes!" He answered simply and went out.
Zixia didn't know why he was looking for Miss Song, but her intuition told her that it was definitely not a good thing for her, which made her afraid to speak for a moment.
Mu Xingci ignored her and walked a few steps to the bed and sat down. He looked at Yun Wansheng on the bed with a hint of apology in his eyes: "I'm sorry for wronging you." He said softly, stroking the woman's cheek with his hand.
"As long as I can make you see the true face of this maid, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice." Yun Wansheng said nice words, making the man completely lose trust in the maid.
"Wow! Why are you so sensible today? I'm a little flattered." Mu Xingci said with a smile, coaxing the woman.
"Look at what you said, as if I'm being unreasonable every day." Yun Wansheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Zixia, kneeling on the ground, listened to their flirting and felt extremely jealous.
At this time, Qi Yi walked in with Song Yaqing: "My Lord, Miss Song is here."
Mu Xingci stood up and looked at them, and finally his gaze fell on Song Yaqing: "Miss Song, I have something to ask you, please tell me the truth."
"My Lord, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you the truth as long as I know it." Song Yaqing looked at the woman on the bed, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"Ms. Song, you said that Yun Wansheng's hands were injured that day. I wonder how you knew about that?" Mu Xingci asked tactfully.
"So the Marquis is asking about this. A few days ago, when I was riding a horse, I happened to run into Miss Yun on the street. She was walking alone on the street, her hands tightly bandaged.
Seeing her like this, I was curious, so I dismounted to greet her and asked about her injury. Miss Yun said that we went to the general's mansion to ask for an explanation, so you were asked to punish her.
"My Lord, we didn't want you to punish her that day. If we had known you would beat her like that, we wouldn't have come to your house to ask for an explanation." Song Yaqing was afraid that the Lord would come after her, so she hurriedly explained at the end.
"So that's how it is." Mu Xingci said calmly, his eyes slightly cold as he glanced at the woman on the bed.
Yun Wansheng received the man's ambiguous look and turned her head away guiltily, not looking at him.
When Mu Xingci saw her avoiding him, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he knew he was guilty!
"Zixia, what else do you want to say now?" Mu Xingci looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and his eyes immediately became extremely sharp.
"My lord, I did that because she didn't appreciate your kindness to her and instead cursed you.
"I can't stand her arrogant attitude. She scolded you so harshly, and I was so angry that I wanted to vent my anger on your behalf. My Lord, I did this all for you!" Zixia cried.
"Zixia, I believe in your loyalty to me, but your loyalty has disappeared when you deal with my woman. You clearly know that I am attracted to her, but you still dare to bully her in front of me. By doing this, you have already betrayed me.
"I dare not employ someone like you anymore, but I can't let you go either. I hope you won't blame me for being cruel after you leave." Mu Xingci said with murderous intent in his eyes.
