Chapter 56 The Fate of the Maid
Zixia's face turned pale when she heard this. She never thought her master would want to kill her: "My Lord, I haven't done anything evil. Why do you want to kill me?"
"Because you know too much, is that reason enough?" Mu Xingci stared at her coldly.
This sentence stunned Zixia to the ground. She fell to the ground powerlessly, and then cried out in despair, "My Lord, you can't treat me like this. I have been with you for five years and have never made a mistake. Today I only made this one mistake. How can you be so ruthless and want to kill me?"
"Zixia, blame yourself for being General Weiyuan's maid. In this remote area, the Eastern Qiang Kingdom has always been eyeing our Shunshang Kingdom covetously. I will never let you leave the General's Mansion alive. You betrayed me once, and you can betray me a second time. Therefore, you must die. Come!"
As he called out, two guards came in: "My Lord, what are your orders?"
"This maid has committed the capital crime of treason against her master. Drag her out and behead her. Then buy her a coffin and bury her properly.
Zixia, this is all I can do for you. I hope you will be a good person in your next life." Mu Xingci gave the order coldly.
Zixia knew she was doomed when she saw this. She looked at Yun Wansheng on the bed unwillingly and said, "Yun Wansheng, you are so cunning that you actually tricked the Marquis into acting out this drama with you."
What else could she not understand now? The master's return must have been something they had agreed upon beforehand. She had really underestimated the status of this bitch in the master's heart.
“If you had done your job conscientiously, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. Now I’d like to say something in return. Although my status as a concubine is low, your status as a maid is not noble either. We both live by relying on others. The consequences of making mistakes are not something you and I can bear.” Yun Wansheng lay on his side and said in a cold voice.
In the past, Zixia would not have believed what she said. She thought that as long as she was loyal to her master, her master would not blame her too much even if she made things difficult for the concubine.
After all, he didn't like this concubine at first. Although he doted on her a little later, she thought that was just the master's temporary interest and he would not do anything to her as a loyal servant.
Being valued by her master made her lose her original intention, thinking that as long as her starting point was for the good of her master, she could do whatever she wanted.
"Yun Wansheng, my fate today will be your tomorrow. With your unpleasant personality, the Marquis will sooner or later get tired of you. I'm waiting for you in the underworld." Zixia laughed a little crazily.
Mu Xingci's handsome face darkened when he heard this: "Take him away!"
As he finished speaking, Zixia was carried out by the guards. Mu Xing then asked everyone in the tent to leave.
Yun Wansheng looked at the man walking towards her with a cold gaze: "Are you really willing to kill her?"
Mu Xingci walked to the bed, squatted in front of her, and stroked the woman's cheek with his palm. His tone was calm: "I just want to know, how much do you believe her words?"
Yun Wansheng was startled for a moment, then smiled: "I'm not stupid. You've been so kind to me, how could I listen to her provocative words?"
"Did you really not listen to her provocation?"
"No, why, do you really think so?" Yun Wansheng's face turned cold and she asked back.
"Uh! Of course not. How could I think that?" Mu Xingci stood up with a guilty conscience.
That damn maid actually dared to tell this woman what she was thinking at that time. If she doesn't die, who will?
Last night he did deliberately reveal her identity as a concubine. Although it was also a form of protection, it was also to tell the young lady of the Grand Tutor that she was just a small concubine of his and would not affect the marriage between their two families.
Yun Wansheng looked at the man's reaction and raised the corner of her mouth in self-mockery: "I'm glad you don't think so. I'm hungry."
"I'll have someone bring you some food." Mu Xingci said gently and went out.
Yun Wansheng watched his back as he left until he disappeared, her eyes slightly stern. "No one is stupid. I agree with what she said: 'Her today is my tomorrow.' How can a despised person have a good ending in front of the powerful?"
After dinner, Mu Xingci didn't show up, but Lin Yao did. As soon as she came in, she slapped her in the face: "Bitch, you're really good at pretending."
Yun Wansheng raised his murderous gaze towards her and said, "Ms. Lin, shouldn't you go to the Marquis? Without his permission, how dare I?"
"You dare to talk back." Upon hearing this, Lin Yao angrily slapped her again. Why would she look for her if she could look for Mu Xingci.
Yun Wansheng wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and took a look, and did not provoke her again. After all, being beaten was a very humiliating thing.
Seeing that she didn't dare to talk back, Lin Yao raised a smug smile on her face: "Yun Wansheng, you are just a cheap woman used by my brother Xing Ci to satisfy his physical desires. The term "concubine" is just a nice way to say it to outsiders. Once this lady enters the house, Brother Xing Ci will no longer need you.
When you are no longer useful, I will tear you apart and let you shamelessly hook up with other men."
She knew very well that if she killed this woman now, Mu Xingci would definitely resent her.
When she was rescued by him at the age of twelve, she had fallen in love with the young man. In order to make Mu Xingci fall in love with her, she had been constantly improving her talents and cultivation over the past five years.
She not only learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learned horse riding, archery and martial arts, all for the purpose of competing with him, the great general, on the battlefield and letting him see her excellence.
But at the same time, she was also afraid that other women would covet her fiancé, so she was always worried at home, wondering what would happen if her brother Xingci had other women?
Gradually, her psychological pressure increased infinitely, making her character become irritable and restless. If one of her servants did not do what she wanted, she would beat them to relieve her anger.
Her irritable temper made her parents very worried. They often tried to persuade her to be more open-minded and often used the example that there are many women for capable men to convince her.
She also listened to it, but this made her even more anxious and uneasy, fearing that her brother Xingci would meet a girl he liked and leave her behind. This made her even more paranoid in doing things at home.
Seeing her like this, the Grand Tutor was afraid that it would damage her reputation if the news got out, so he secretly disposed of the maid she had beaten to death.
But sometimes she couldn't help but lose her temper with others when she was outside. Fortunately, she still had some sense of propriety and didn't do anything out of line. This made her seem a little spoiled in the eyes of outsiders, but it was not a big deal.
Now she came to the southwest, originally wanting to cultivate feelings with Mu Xingci before marriage. She didn't want to find out that he had other women. How could she not be angry?
