Chapter 89 Promise to Release
"My Lord, I advise you not to waste your energy. If I'm not prepared, how can I dare to negotiate with you?
"Do you see that copper basin? You might as well go take a look before you ask someone to search for it." Yun Wansheng looked at the foot basin in the corner.
Mu Xingci walked to the copper basin without knowing why, and saw burnt paper in the basin. In order to see clearly, he bent down and picked up the copper basin.
After a closer inspection, it was seen that some words and patterns could be faintly seen on some papers that had not been burned through.
"You... Yun Wansheng, why did you burn it?" Mu Xingci asked in confusion, somewhat discouraged.
"If I don't burn some of it, you'll find it, and then what can I use to negotiate with you?
Mu Xingci, as long as you let me go, I will draw the parts that were burned earlier for you when I get to a safe place.
The front part can be adjusted to three different distances and can be moved forward and backward freely. I have also improved the feathers. I can guarantee that it is much easier to use than the crossbow you designed."
Mu Xingci looked at the woman with a dark gaze: "Yun Wansheng, you've really put a lot of effort into wanting to leave me. Aren't you afraid that I'll really torture you to extract a confession?"
"Mu Xingci, in my obsession, there are only freedom and death. Even if you skin me alive, I will not change my mind." Yun Wansheng's eyes were firm, and she looked not afraid of life or death.
Mu Xingci remained silent for a moment, just staring at her quietly. After an unknown amount of time, he sneered, "It seems there's no point in me forcing you any further. Fine! I'll let you go. A person of my status doesn't necessarily need you."
"My Lord is right. Your life will be much smoother without me. I will leave tomorrow morning. If you are still angry, I can leave now."
Seeing that he finally agreed, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but smile.
"I'm not that stingy." Mu Xingci looked at the woman smiling happily, feeling very depressed. He pulled the woman closer to him in anger, and without giving her time to react, he kissed her fiercely.
The man's roughness made the woman groan in pain, and she tried her best to push him away with her hands.
Seeing how hard she struggled, Mu Xingci let her go. "Yun Wansheng, if you want to leave here smoothly, you must spend the last night with me. Otherwise, even if I don't want the blueprints, I won't let you go."
"You are so despicable!" Yun Wansheng couldn't help but curse when she heard that.
"I am not a gentleman, so just tell me whether you want to accompany me or not. I don't like forcing women in bed." Mu Xingci's evil eyes made it seem like he didn't care about anything.
"No! I won't sleep with the man who killed my grandfather again. It's just that you don't want the crossbow. I'm not willing to give it to you anymore! If you don't let me go, I can just destroy my face and make you look at it disgustingly every day."
She said this in anger and walked to the table, reached out to take the dagger, pulled it out of the sheath with her small hand, and without hesitation, slashed her cheek with the tip of the knife.
But just when the tip of the knife was about to touch the skin, someone grabbed her wrist tightly: "Yun Wansheng, good job!" The man's voice was angry.
"Mu Xingci, let me go!" Yun Wansheng shouted, struggling with her arms.
"Yun Wansheng, you don't have to be like this. The reason I want to keep you here is because you are alone and helpless, and I want to give you a stable home. Since you don't appreciate it, just leave. I'm tired of you a long time ago, and you'll get out of Lizhou City tomorrow." Mu Xingci said coldly, and let her go with a flick of his hand.
"This is perfect, so we don't get tired of seeing each other." Yun Wansheng raised her chin slightly and looked at him coldly.
"Stupid woman, no man can stand your stubborn temper. I don't want to see you in my life. Get as far away as you can." After Mu Xingci finished cursing, he left the villa with anger.
"You're the one who got out of here the fuck?" Yun Wansheng cursed back in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
Mu Xingci rode his horse all the way back to the general's mansion, his handsome face gloomy and as if he wanted to kill someone.
When the servants saw that their master's face was not right, they did not dare to say a word. They greeted him and stepped aside.
Mu Xingci returned to his room and kicked over the tables, chairs and benches one after another to vent his anger.
Qi Yi looked at his master who was not easily angered, and didn't know what had happened. He only knew that when his master just returned home and heard that the concubine was looking for him, he happily went to the villa alone.
How come he came back so angry in just a short while?
"My Lord, calm down! My Lord, calm down!"
Mu Xingci knocked over the last flowerpot, then sat down on the chair with a dejected look, not saying a word for a long time.
When I saw this, I didn't dare to disturb them. I walked to the door and asked a few servants to come in and clean the house.
After the room was cleaned and the servants had left, Mu Xingci slammed his fist on the table in front of the hall and said, "Neiyi, I don't want Yun Wansheng anymore. From now on, let her go wherever she wants. Go give her some silver tomorrow. Don't let outsiders think I'm mistreating her."
Qi Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "The Marquis agreed to let her go?"
"Well! If I don't let her go, she will think that I am reluctant to let her go. Let her go! Once she goes away, I will have peace and quiet. No one will try to commit suicide with me anymore." Mu Xingci sneered indifferently.
As proud as he was, he felt really ashamed to be despised by a woman like this. In the eyes of the woman, he only thought that he was selfish after trying so hard to keep her. If he continued to force himself to stay, his dignity would sooner or later be trampled on by the woman.
"It's good that my Lord has thought it through. I will go there early tomorrow morning. I wonder how much silver I should give her?" I asked.
Mu Xingci frowned slightly and said, "Go to the accounting office and withdraw 20,000 taels of silver notes for her. I promised her that I would keep her safe for the rest of her life. Giving her this is like fulfilling my promise to her."
"My Lord, you value righteousness, and I admire you."
"Alright! You don't have to comfort me like this. She's just a woman after all. If I want, there are plenty of beauties for me to choose from."
"That's what the Marquis said."
Mu Xingci's handsome face pondered for a moment, then he took out the woman's belongings from his arms and said, "Return the pistol to her tomorrow, so she will be safer."
"Yes!" Ming replied as he took it in his hand.
"Go to the government office later and get her a national travel permit. It will be much more convenient for her as a woman to travel."
"yes!"
Mu Xingci paused for a moment, then raised his hand and waved: "It's okay, you can go down! I want to rest." After saying that, he went back to the dormitory without waiting for him to leave.
The cold night wind was blowing, and Yun Wansheng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, fearing that the Marquis would change his mind again early tomorrow morning.
After finally making it to dawn, Yun Wansheng got up early and packed her luggage, thinking of leaving here as soon as possible.
After packing the package, Yun Wansheng opened the door and walked out. The guards in the courtyard had withdrawn at some point, and no one stopped her, which made her feel a little relieved.
When she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Qi Yi already waiting at the door, which made her face tense for a moment: "Guard Ming, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
