Chapter 62: Cursing the Dog Lord Again
Yun Wansheng thought about it for a moment and knew that this matter could not be solved by escaping. She could only take it one step at a time. Now she just hoped that the man would show mercy.
"I'll go back with you."
"You wouldn't dare to run away. Follow me!" Lin Yao said coldly, and then she walked out of the restaurant with the help of her maid.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Yao boarded the carriage. The maid glanced coldly at Yun Wansheng, who had just emerged. "Follow behind the carriage. Don't even think about escaping, or you'll be punished even more severely."
"I won't run away. If your carriage goes too fast and leaves me behind, don't say that I ran away." Yun Wansheng said coldly.
"Then just run and follow." The maid said arrogantly.
"My leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't run."
The maids were speechless when they heard this, because they all knew that the woman had indeed suffered a leg injury.
At this time, Lin Yao's voice came from the car: "Xiao Xia, let her sit in the back of the car."
"Yes! Did you hear that? My young lady is so generous that she lets you ride in the car."
"No need! I will go to the general's mansion by myself." After saying that, Yun Wansheng walked forward arrogantly, her expression even more disdainful than theirs.
The carriage soon overtook her. Yun Wansheng walked slowly, her eyes slightly dim, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Miss Yun, when you go to the general's mansion later, you should apologize to Miss Lin. I think the Marquis will not make things too difficult for you." Xiao Qing advised.
"We'll see!" Yun Wansheng's lips curled up. If an apology could solve the problem, she wouldn't mind showing weakness for now. But she was afraid that Lin Yao would hold on to this matter and wouldn't let her go.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the master and servant arrived at the gate of the general's mansion. Xiaoqing told the guards something and the soldiers let them in. They knew the concubine.
As soon as Yun Wansheng entered the mansion, she saw Butler Yang coming out of the gatehouse: "Miss Yun, why are you here?"
"Miss Lin asked me to come. Is your Lord Marquis in the mansion?"
"You just came back not long ago and may be having lunch now. I'll take you there." Lin Yao didn't even say a word to him just now. She was really arrogant and rude.
Yun Wansheng followed Butler Yang and quickly arrived at Mu Xingci's yard. Before they entered the house, they heard Lin Yao's crying voice coming from inside.
Yun Wansheng walked up the stairs nervously. Butler Yang knocked on the door and said, "My Lord, Miss Yun is here."
This reply stopped the crying in the room, and the man's voice was heard outside the door: "Let her in."
"Miss Yun, please come in!" Butler Yang pushed the door open.
Yun Wansheng thanked him in a low voice, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.
When she saw Lin Yao standing next to the handsome and calm Mu Xingci with a look of grievance on her face, she blinked slightly, then knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
"Get up! Tell me what happened?" Mu Xingci said indifferently.
Yun Wansheng stood up straight, and then told everything that had happened in the restaurant before. At the end, she explained in a seemingly timid manner.
"My Lord, I really thought it was a maid trying to stop me, so I hit her a little too hard. If I had known it was Miss Lin, I wouldn't have dared to throw her even if she slapped me twice more."
The man saw the woman's fear, which made his eyes pause slightly: "Lin Yao, is what she said true? Were you the first to make a move?"
"Brother Xingci, even if I was the first to strike, so what? I am the daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. If it were anyone else, I would have sent her to the authorities for severe punishment. But she is your concubine, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. I just want you to help me get justice."
Lin Yao said it as a matter of course, and didn't think there was anything wrong with taking action first. This is the way of thinking of powerful people.
How could Mu Xingci not know the truth behind her words? Let alone slapping someone, even if he beat the person half to death, he would only say that the person had offended the powerful and should be beaten, and he would not lecture him on any profound principles.
"Lin Yao, how do you want to deal with this matter?"
"Brother Xingci, considering she has served you for a long time, I will not make things too difficult for her. You only need to give her thirty lashes."
When Lin Yao saw that he asked for her opinion instead of speaking for the woman, she naturally thought that this man was still on her side, so she seemed generous.
Mu Xingci's face darkened when he heard this. "She dared to throw you in public. A disciplinary caning wouldn't be enough. To teach her a lesson, I'll send her to the military camp to do hard labor for a month. She'll have to wash the soldiers' clothes for six hours every day."
"Ah? Go to the military camp to do hard labor?" Lin Yao was slightly stunned.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng glared at the bastard sitting on the seat with angry eyes. Asking her to wash clothes for those stinky men for six hours at a time would be exhausting. It would be better for her to be beaten up.
"Why, no way? Otherwise, just give her thirty lashes." Mu Xingci said indifferently.
Lin Yao's eyes turned slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I will listen to Brother Xingci."
It seems that this man doesn't care about this woman as much as he shows. Everyone knows that once a woman is punished and sent to the military camp, her reputation will be ruined.
Being beaten would only hurt her temporarily, and afterwards she would still stay by Mu Xingci's side and serve him as usual as if nothing had happened. But if her reputation was ruined, even if this man couldn't abandon her for the time being, it would only be a matter of time before he would dislike her.
The fact that this man didn't care about the woman's future showed that this mistress was not important to him. If he really loved her, why would he send her to the military camp to be punished? As a soldier, he knew this better than himself.
Seeing that he punished the woman mercilessly, Lin Yao was secretly happy, so she could return to the capital with peace of mind.
She was happy here, but the concubine standing in front of the hall was annoyed: "Mu Xingci, you are a heartless bastard. I would rather be whipped thirty times than go to the military camp to wash clothes for those stinky men."
"Yun Wansheng, believe it or not, if you curse me again, I will make you stay in the military camp for the rest of your life." Mu Xingci looked at the woman who cursed him, slammed the table and stood up, threatening angrily.
Yun Wansheng looked at the angry man, with no affection in his eyes, which made her dare not scold him anymore. She didn't want to stay in the military camp forever.
"Yiyi, send Yun Wansheng to the laundry department in the military camp. She must be washed for at least six hours a day." Mu Xingci ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" He responded and looked at Yun Wansheng: "Miss Yun, please follow me." After saying that, he went out first.
Yun Wansheng glared at the dog marquis: "Mu Xingci, you bastard, I will remember you." She still couldn't help cursing, turned around and quickly left the house, for fear that the dog marquis would change his mind again.
Mu Xingci watched the woman who scolded him leave with an extremely ugly expression.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yao couldn't help but smile: "Brother Xingci, you shouldn't punish her so severely. She will suffer a lot if she goes to the military camp as a woman."
Mu Xingci looked at his fiancée and chuckled, "That's what she deserves. She thought I spoiled her for two days and she's so ignorant. She didn't even consider her status and even dared to ignore you."
