Chapter 21 I have no grudge against that woman
When Yun Wansheng heard this, she couldn't help but look up and asked, "How can a concubine like me go to the prefectural governor's mansion with you?"
"Of course the concubine cannot go, but if it is my cousin, it is still okay. Among the three young ladies I met in the restaurant that day, one was the daughter of the prefect." Mu Xingci said.
"My Lord, I'd rather not go to such an important occasion. You just saw it. I'm afraid that if I don't do it right, it will cause you unnecessary trouble. After all, I come from a humble background and don't know much about some etiquette." Yun Wansheng refused without thinking.
"Yun Wansheng, they specifically invited you, and it's hard for me to refuse. Just go and be polite and talk less. You should be able to handle the general etiquette."
"But I don't have any clothes for the banquet. I'm afraid I'd embarrass you if I came out looking shabby."
"How can you look shabby when you have so many gorgeous dresses in your wardrobe? And what about all the extravagant jewelry you bought? I believe you are dressed no worse than those young ladies."
"My Lord, have you forgotten that I have grown a lot taller recently, and the clothes I wore more than a month ago are no longer suitable for me." Yun Wansheng really didn't want to go.
Mu Xingci looked at her tall and outstanding figure, and then he remembered that she was shorter before.
"I've had someone buy you some clothes. This banquet is for the old man in the prefectural governor's mansion's sixtieth birthday. All the dignitaries in the city have to attend. Even if you don't want to go, you have to show your face. Do you understand?"
"knew."
Mu Xingci stood up and walked to the woman. Looking at her unhappy face, he wanted to hold her hand, but the woman shook him off.
"My Lord, if you have any other instructions, just tell me directly." Yun Wansheng hated him now.
The disgust in the woman's eyes made Mu Xingci slightly stunned. Did this woman hate him? Just because he lectured her, she turned her face away from him?
"Yun Wansheng, I've spoiled you too much, so you dare to be so rude to me."
"My lord, I think that with your dignity as a great general, you can't always think about those trivial things between men and women. On the one hand, you talk about rules, and on the other hand, you want this woman to please you without any dignity. Does being your woman mean that I deserve to live a humiliating life?" Yun Wansheng glared at him angrily.
Mu Xingci looked at the angry little woman with gloomy eyes, which made him speechless for a moment, but at the same time he was also enraged: "Yun Wansheng, are you looking for death? How dare you speak to this marquis like this."
"Why wouldn't I dare? I'd rather die than follow a pedantic, selfish, and hypocritical man like you. You can kill me right now. If I'm afraid of death, I'll take your surname."
Yun Wansheng also gave up, and said, she walked up to Qiyi and wanted to draw the sword at his waist. At worst, he would die. Who the hell would live with him as a master and servant every day.
Qi Yi had never expected this woman to suddenly come over and take his sword. He subconsciously gripped the hilt and dared not let go: "Miss Yun, calm down. This is absolutely not allowed!"
Mu Xingci was also intimidated by her fearlessness. Why did this woman's temper become worse than before?
"Enough! Yun Wansheng, don't try to commit suicide with me again. If you don't want to serve me, I don't have to rely on you. Your unreasonable behavior will only make me hate you even more.
Come, take all the valuables from her room and leave only Wang Ma as the servant. If you don't want to serve me, then you have no right to enjoy everything I give you. From today on, your monthly salary will be reduced from ten taels to one tael, as long as you don't starve to death.
He is a tall and strong man, a noble marquis and general, how could he allow himself to be controlled by a concubine of lowly status?
Hearing this, Yun Wansheng straightened up and glared at him unyieldingly: "Take it away if you want. You can take Wang Ma away too. I won't starve to death without your money."
Her challenge angered Mu Xingci so much that he pointed at her angrily and said, "Yun Wansheng, you are so good! If it weren't for the fact that you served me, you would be dead by now."
"It's not too late for you to kill me now." Yun Wansheng faced the man's anger fearlessly.
"Okay! You forced me to do this." Mu Xingci was so angry that he lost his mind. No one had ever challenged his dignity like this. If she wanted to die, then he would grant her wish.
Thinking angrily, he drew out the sword on the table.
Yun Wansheng watched him draw his sword without hesitation and point it at his chest, and instinctively closed his eyes and prepared to die.
But she didn't feel any pain, she just felt the tip of the sword pressing against her chest, which made her open her moist eyes.
Mu Xingci met the woman's calm eyes and tightened his fingers around the hilt of his sword: "Yun Wansheng, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you apologize to me, I'll forgive you."
Yun Wansheng gave him a contemptuous smile and looked down at the sword on her chest: "For unreasonable things, I, Yun Wansheng, will never apologize. Since you can't do it, then I will help you."
After saying this with a sneer, her little hand suddenly grasped the sword and her body rushed forward.
Mu Xingci never expected that this woman was really determined to die, so he subconsciously pulled back his sword and prevented her from succeeding.
"You... are very good, Yun Wansheng, you are stubborn enough!" Mu Xingci didn't know what to say at this time. He picked up the sword and left angrily.
The servants who had just arrived also left with him, and most importantly, the valuables in her room were also taken away by the guards.
Yun Wansheng looked at the empty jewelry box and then at the only cotton dresses left in the closet, which made her feel extremely regretful.
She had originally planned to make guns by selling jewelry, but now she had ruined everything. However, the man just now was really too much for her, and she couldn't stand the grievance and had to fight him to the end.
Now, the jewelry is gone, the luxurious dresses are confiscated, and even the several taels of silver saved by the original owner is only left with one tael. I am really speechless.
"As expected, the powerful people of ancient times were the most ruthless! Mu Xingci, if you want me to beg you, go ahead and dream on! I will only live more freely without you."
Yun Wansheng sneered and found a piece of cloth to bandage the slightly injured palm.
Mu Xingci returned to the general's mansion and kicked over the tables and chairs as soon as he entered the door to show that he was in a bad mood.
"My Lord, please calm down. Since that woman is so disobedient to you, you might as well demote her to a slave. That way, she won't dare to do anything wrong again." Qi Yi advised his master and also gave him some advice.
"Do you think someone with her personality would be willing to be a slave?" Mu Xingci said in a slightly deep voice.
"That woman is a bit arrogant, but she's not without weaknesses. Doesn't she still have a grandfather? I don't believe she's not afraid of death and doesn't care about her grandfather."
Mu Xingci's eyes flickered when he heard this. "Nyi, I understand you want to help me relieve my worries, but please think carefully before you give me advice. I have no grudge against that woman. If I threaten her with her grandfather, she will always regard me as her enemy, and I don't want to be her enemy."
