Chapter 78 Back to the Villa
In the evening of the next day, the group returned to Lizhou City. Mu Xingci first took Yun Wansheng to where her grandfather lived.
As soon as Yun Wansheng entered Yun Dashan's room, she smelled an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine. It seemed that the original owner's grandfather was really sick.
When I entered the dormitory, I saw Yun Dashan lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The wrinkles on his face made him look even more haggard.
Yun Dashan opened his eyes at this moment, and when he saw who was standing in front of the bed, he couldn't help but reveal a kind smile: "Wan Sheng, you're here?"
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine a few days ago?" Yun Wansheng sat on the stool in front of the bed, her little face full of worry.
"That's what happens when you get old. Don't worry, Grandpa. He'll be fine in a couple of days."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I... I went on a long trip these days, so I didn't know you were sick at the first time. Please don't be angry with me, okay?" Yun Wansheng looked apologetic and had to tell a lie.
"The Marquis told me that grandpa is not angry. As long as you live well, that's all that matters." Yun Dashan said this and coughed a few times. Yun Wansheng hurriedly patted him on the back.
"Grandpa, let me pour you some water." Yun Wansheng hurried to the table and poured a glass of water. Finding it was a little hot, she poured it back and forth between two cups several times.
After taking care of the original owner's grandfather and helping him drink some water, Yun Dashan said he was sleepy and asked her to go back.
When Yun Wansheng left the room, she saw Mu Xingci sitting in front of the hall: "My Lord, I want to take care of my grandfather here for a few days. I hope you can agree."
Mu Xingci frowned slightly when he heard this: "That's good. Your grandfather is ill now, so I think he wants to see you every day. This will help him recover."
"Your Majesty is right." Yun Wansheng didn't expect him to agree so quickly. It seems that this man is not so unkind.
"You've been traveling all day. Go get some rest. I'll come visit your grandfather another day."
"Well! Take care, my Lord."
After politely and distantly seeing Mu Xingci off, Yun Wansheng went to the guest room and fetched some water to wash herself.
There is only one servant in this courtyard taking care of Yun Dashan, so since he lives here, he has to do everything himself.
The two guards standing at the gate of the courtyard were left behind by Mu Xingci before he left. They should be on guard against me, right?
In the next two days, Yun Wansheng patiently took care of the original owner's grandfather, cooking and making soup for him every day, which made Yun Dashan's condition obviously much better than before.
After breakfast that day, Yun Wansheng sat down in front of Yun Dashan and said, "Grandpa, there's something I want you to help me with."
"What's the matter?" Yun Dashan asked curiously.
"If the Marquis asks me if I know martial arts, just say that I practiced at home when I was a child. Mu Xingci is a military commander and he certainly wouldn't like a woman who is too weak. He's only interested in me temporarily now, but he'll get bored of me after a while.
To win his heart, I've been going to a place to learn martial arts these past few days, under the pretext of going out to burn incense. I'm afraid he'll find out I've lied to him, so I thought of asking you to cover up the lie for me," Yun Wansheng planned ahead.
Yun Dashan heard this and thought for a moment: "Grandpa understands your painstaking efforts. Don't worry, I will help you cover up the past. For your future protection, Grandpa will not refuse your request."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Yun Wansheng was very grateful. The original owner's grandfather was really good to her.
"Grandpa, there's one more thing you need to help me with. A few days ago, I ran into a thug on the street. He dragged me to an alley and tried to molest me.
Fortunately, a knight who passed by saved me. Seeing that I was weak and pitiful, the knight gave me a hidden weapon for self-defense.
I dare not tell the Marquis about this, for I am afraid that he will think that I am unclean.
But he found that hidden weapon two days ago. I can only say that the two of us met a rogue and it was a knight who gave it to him, which dispelled his doubts.
I'm afraid he'll come back to you to verify these things, so I'm explaining this to you in advance so you can be prepared." Yun Wansheng's eyes flashed with a guilty apology.
Yun Dashan listened to his granddaughter and sighed. "I'm relieved that you're thinking about your future. If the Marquis really asks, I'll tell him what you said."
"Grandpa, I'm grown up now. You don't have to worry about my life anymore. I will take care of it."
"You are indeed much more sensible than before. Grandpa can rest assured." Yun Dashan smiled with relief.
The two chatted, and before they knew it, three days had passed. That afternoon, Yun Dashan was taking a walk in the yard. He felt fine, so when he saw his granddaughter coming out of the room, he called her over.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Yun Wansheng walked closer to him with a faint smile on her lips.
"Wansheng, grandpa is fine now, you can go back soon!" Yun Dashan said gently.
"No, you're just getting better. How can I leave now? What if your illness relapses? Grandpa, don't worry. I won't leave until you're completely well." Yun Wansheng knew that he was afraid of offending the marquis.
"Wansheng, Grandpa is really fine now. I know my body best. Go back! Be obedient."
Yun Dashan was indeed afraid that his granddaughter would be implicated because of his own affairs. If he made the Marquis unhappy, what would happen to his granddaughter's future life?
"Grandpa, you don't look well. I have to stay and take care of you. Even if you beat me to leave, I won't leave."
Seeing that she was determined to stay, Yun Dashan said with some sorrow: "Wan Sheng, we have our current life thanks to Weiyuan Hou. Grandpa doesn't want you to offend him because of Grandpa's affairs.
Grandpa is old and doesn't have many years left to live. Before he dies, I want to see you have a stable place to live and a man to take care of you, so that Grandpa can die peacefully. "
"Grandpa, don't worry! I won't suffer. Even without the help of the Marquis, I can take care of myself. Grandpa, I have grown up now and am no longer that willful little girl." Yun Wansheng comforted him.
Yun Dashan really wanted to do good for his granddaughter, but unfortunately, the original owner's obsession killed her.
"Grandpa knows you are sensible, but you are a woman after all. If you don't have a man to rely on, your future life will definitely not be as good as it is now.
Listen to grandpa, go back to the villa, don't let me worry about you all the time." As he said that, Yun Dashan pushed her out.
"Grandpa, don't push me! I don't want to go back now."
"No, you must leave today, otherwise grandpa will be angry." Yun Dashan continued to push people out.
"Okay, okay, I can't leave yet, don't get excited."
Seeing this, Yun Wansheng knew that she couldn't beat him, so she could only return to the villa and plan to come to see him again tomorrow.
After the two guards sent her back to the villa, they did not leave but stayed in the gatehouse.
When Yun Wansheng saw this, she knew that she would have to think harder to escape next time.
"Miss Yun, you're back?" Aunt Wang and Xiaoqing came out of the ear room one after another.
"Well! I'll have to trouble you again in the future." Yun Wansheng smiled a little uncomfortably.
