Chapter 4 Are you looking for death? You dare to scold me?
Sleeping too much made the original owner think that the man also liked her, so she learned to act coquettishly and cutely to him, and occasionally she would inadvertently bring up the topic of wives and concubines, but every time she brought it up, the man would leave with a gloomy face.
Later, the original owner took advantage of his good mood and said directly that she wanted to be his wife, and if he didn't marry her, she would die in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the man got out of bed and left after hearing this, and didn't come back for several days.
In anger, the original owner pretended to hang herself, hoping to force the man to do something, but unfortunately she didn't know how to do it right.
When she hanged herself, she deliberately did not hang herself directly from the beam. Instead, she tied the rope to the window sill and then tied a noose around the beam.
Then she lit a candle and placed it on the windowsill. After the candle flame burned the rope, and then added her own weight, she believed that the rope would break easily. Then, when Aunt Wang heard the noise, she would definitely come to see her.
Unexpectedly, she had calculated everything except for forgetting to close the window. When she was hanging up, the candle was blown out by a gust of wind outside the window, making it impossible for her to come down.
She could only struggle hard and kick something on the table, hoping that Aunt Wang would come in and save her. But just as she died, Aunt Wang realized that something was wrong in the room. When she hurried in, it was too late.
When Wang Ma put the original owner down, she pushed and patted her chest for a long time, but ended up patting herself, a modern person with the same name and surname as the original owner.
After wrapping the dumplings, Aunt Wang prepared to light the fire. Yun Wansheng came out of the kitchen and looked at the sky, and found that it was still early before dark!
"Auntie Wang, cook it later. Eating too early will make you hungry at night."
"Okay! I'll wait a little longer." Aunt Wang agreed happily.
"Auntie Wang, I'm going to rest in the house for a while. You can do whatever you want."
Yun Wansheng returned to her room and lazily lay down on the bed. Then she pulled the book next to her pillow and started reading.
When I come here, I have no other entertainment but reading books, which were bought by the original owner.
The original owner could read and write, and before she wandered around, she had even attended school. Unfortunately, her family suffered a sudden change, and she lived a poor life.
As I was reading the book in my hand about the literati and geography of this country, I suddenly heard the door open.
"Auntie Wang, please light the fire and cook the dumplings later!" Yun Wansheng ordered without turning her head.
"Dumplings tonight?"
The sudden male voice startled Yun Wansheng so much that she dropped the book on her face without even holding it firmly.
Her frightened reaction made the visitor laugh: "What? After not seeing you for over a month, how come you've become less courageous?"
Yun Wansheng sat up and looked at the man: "My Lord, why are you here?"
She thought that she had deliberately approached him in the morning in a way that made him hate the original owner. This heartless man would definitely hate her even more and choose not to come. She didn't expect him to come, and come so early.
"Didn't I tell you that I would come over in the evening?" Mu Xingci said casually and sat down next to her.
His approach made Yun Wansheng feel uncomfortable, and she subconsciously moved to the side. Her reaction made Mu Xingci stunned for a moment. Was she avoiding him?
"Are you hiding from me?" He thought about it and asked directly.
If it weren't for the fact that she was dressed in a fresh and refined style today, and that she was taller and had more mature skin and features, he would have found her more pleasing to the eye.
But the most important thing was that she no longer had the calculating and mercenary look on her face, so he came over with curiosity to take another look at her.
If she still dresses like before and has impure thoughts, I will never come here again.
He remembered that when he first met her, she was so thin that she was just skin and bones, and her frail body had not yet fully grown. He once thought that the woman he had raped was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, which made him feel extremely guilty at the time.
Later, when I asked her, I found out that she was already seventeen years old. Because her family was poor and she had little clothes to wear, her body was malnourished, so she was a little short. This also led to no one finding a husband for her.
"Uh! No, I was just making dumplings and I smell like onion stuffing. I was afraid it would stink you." Yun Wansheng naturally didn't dare to offend him easily.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci immediately leaned closer to the woman's shoulder and sniffed. Sure enough, he smelled a faint scent of onions on her.
"It seems you've been living a comfortable life these days. If you don't have any other concerns, I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"My Lord, what should I do if I want to be your legal wife?" Yun Wansheng pretended to be serious, hoping to anger the man and make him leave.
Mu Xingci looked at this stubborn woman. Just when he started to like her a little, she started to act up again. This made his eyes, which had just been warm, gradually turn cold.
"Yun Wansheng, if you don't want to be a widow for the rest of your life, then you should give me a peaceful life. Don't force things that you don't want."
"My Lord, if you can't afford it, then don't come. If you don't give me the position of wife, I would rather be a widow for the rest of my life."
Yun Wansheng was not afraid of his threats. The more she wanted something that this man could not give her, the more he would hate her, and that was the only way he would not come to her.
Mu Xingci didn't expect that he had to scare her with the threat of becoming a widow so that she would give up and they could get along well.
Unexpectedly, she was not afraid of his threats at all and still insisted on being his legal wife.
"Yun Wansheng, don't you see your own status? You're just a little street singer, and you dare to dream of becoming my wife? You're simply dreaming and overestimating your own abilities."
Yun Wansheng couldn't help but stare at him with her eyes wide open when she heard this heartless dog marquis belittle her like that.
"What's wrong with being a singing girl? I don't steal, rob, or cheat. I don't owe anyone anything. I live an upright life.
And you? You have high status, you have position, but you still can't control your lower body and bully a little girl like me.
I haven't even looked down on you for being old! You look down on me for being lowly. Since you look down on me so much, you should compensate me for my loss of innocence now.
As long as you give me compensation, I will leave here immediately. Do you think I really like being your mistress? Bah! "
Mu Xingci was slightly stunned by her scolding this time. Was this damn woman scolding him? Was she really that bold?
"Yun Wansheng, are you looking for death? How dare you scold me?" Mu Xingci grabbed her neck and said angrily.
Yun Wansheng instinctively grabbed his hand. Her breathing became difficult, and her face flushed red. However, she still stubbornly cursed, "I'm just... cursing you... I'll curse you even if I die, you bastard."
It's not like I haven't died before, but this time it seems much more painful.
Just when Yun Wansheng wanted to fight back, Mu Xingci loosened his grip and pulled the woman into his arms just as she was about to collapse to the ground.
Yun Wansheng leaned weakly on the man's chest and gasped for breath. Fortunately, she held it back. However, this bastard was really cruel. It would be better for her to avoid provoking him in the future. It was really uncomfortable to be strangled.
