The Exiled Villainess and Her Shopping Dimension

Chapter 227

Even though Wan Gui felt afraid, the mistress of the manor did not share her feelings. Her face remained adorned with a smile. It wasn’t that Yueqian didn’t know where the other woman had gone. In fact, she had allowed Ji Fei to run freely to her heart’s content, to confirm her husband’s suspicions. Mu Heng must have already been puzzled by Ji Fei’s behavior, but Yueqian didn’t want to drive her out personally. She would leave it to Mu Heng, who had purchased the maid.

If he dared to do something so shameless, Yueqian was ready to leave. She was known as Yueqian and had made many decisions based on the trust she had in him from the beginning.

Initially, she had placed herself in his arms, following the plot of the novel. Now, she followed him out of faith in his character. If her judgment was wrong, she would hide in the darkest corners. Whether with her master or at the Art Institute, anything was possible.

Fortunately, Yueqian’s judgment was correct. Previously, after Ji Fei had been allowed to leave the mistress’s quarters, the beautiful woman quickly darted out to follow the master of the manor.

His strong back was heading forward, and Ji Fei didn’t want to waste time. She ran towards him, pretending to lose her footing and crashing into his back forcefully, causing him to fall.

Her performance was quite convincing. Her delicate body collapsed to the ground, blood dripping from her palm due to her attempt to break her fall and protect her head. When Mu Heng turned around, he saw only the blood covering her hand.

"What happened?" He frowned in surprise. What had caused such urgency that she had to run like this? Was it related to his wife? Or did his wife get injured?

"Why are you still silent?! Is something wrong with my Qian’er?" He shouted angrily, inquiring about his pregnant wife, completely ignoring the servant Ji Fei, who was still bleeding.

Seeing that the maid did not respond, Mu Heng turned, ready to rush back to the quarters immediately. If not for Ji Fei grabbing his leg in a panic, he would have undoubtedly run back inside.

"Not at all, my master. Young Miss is perfectly fine," she hastily replied, anxious. If he returned to the quarters, her plan would be ruined.

"Are you sure?" Mu Heng stopped his alarm and asked again to confirm what had happened. Ji Fei nodded vigorously, her demeanor extremely endearing.

It was no surprise that her sister’s fiancé had fallen for her, leading to frequent quarrels and fights between her and the eldest young miss of her original household, which ultimately resulted in her being expelled. Her cute and charming demeanor, combined with her allure, had captivated many foolish men. However, it had no effect on a man utterly devoted to his wife, like Mu Heng.

He didn’t stay with Yueqian solely because of her beauty; they lived together in mutual respect. It was a moment that was destined to be her. Therefore, Mu Heng not only loved his wife, but both of them also deeply respected each other dignity. The mutual respect between them meant he never relied solely on mere affection to judge people. If he wished to be respected, he had to respect his partner first.

Raising an eyebrow slightly at her bashful demeanor, Mu Heng narrowed his eyes dangerously, while Ji Fei was unaware of the kind of gaze she was under.

She only had the thought of making the master of the manor notice her. Currently, he had only one principal wife, and she saw a chance to become the secondary wife of the household. Even if it meant being a concubine, it was still more honorable. In her previous household, the secondary wife was a clear thorn to the principal wife, providing numerous opportunities to eventually become the principal wife. Ji Fei aimed for this position.

She was confident in her looks and charm. Not just the Governor of Red Earth City, but even the son of a nobleman, her sister’s fiancé, had wanted to take her as a secondary wife. This meant her charm was evidently strong.

In Ji Fei’s eyes, Mu Heng was an ideal candidate to be her husband. Not to mention that she was just a servant now, it was already difficult to be groomed for a high position. If it were another man, she might reconsider. However, this man was Governor Mu, and in the past few months, he had not taken any other women as concubines.

Given his mindset, he is extremely serious about his family. No man would care for his wife to this extent. Thus, Ji Fei was confident that once she became his, he would honor her with a respectable position, regardless of her current status as a servant. He would undoubtedly elevate her to the rank of secondary wife.

"My-may master, this is entirely my fault. First Furen instructed me to quickly fetch the calligraphy supplies, so I rushed and didn’t see you ahead. I, I understand my mistake. Whatever punishment you deem fit, I will accept," Ji Fei said, giving him the freedom to act as he wished.

"Good that you recognize your mistake. Such actions tarnish Qian’er’s reputation. If you can’t handle this task properly, I will sell you off and buy someone else," Mu Heng threatened.

He didn’t want to keep someone incapable of taking care of his wife. Moreover, he didn’t think much or feel any sympathy for selling off useless servants. If she hadn’t possessed skills that other servants lacked, he wouldn’t have bought her in the first place.

"Pl-please, don’t do that. It’s my fault. I was only concerned. It’s said that pregnant women shouldn’t be upset, so I hurried to get the supplies to prevent Furen from waiting too long, which could affect her pregnancy. I was only thinking of Miss. Please don’t sell me. I’ll do whatever you ask."

Ji Fei said, tears streaming down her delicate cheeks, looking very pitiful. Her upturned face was as beautiful as a goddess from heaven. Her actions were very skilled. Ji Fei wasn’t foolish enough not to realize how steadfast this man was. Even if he didn’t appreciate her beauty or fall for her today, it was fine. She only wanted her presence to be noticeable in his eyes.

Today, she made great efforts to display her beauty. Men are such that, even if they love their wives deeply now, her concern for his beloved wife would make him view her more favorably. At the very least, he would see her as an ally and feel reassured knowing she was around.

But over time, as the nine months of pregnancy passed, how could he endure it? Men are not like women, who can stop their lustful actions. He would need an outlet during this period. One day, he would think of her, the woman who showed concern for his wife. He would believe she could take care of his beloved wife in the future, becoming good companions.

She had seen many such foolish men who couldn’t overcome their infatuations. Therefore, today’s plan wasn’t to bind him all at once. She would slowly remain in his sight like this, and over time, the opportunity would come for her.

Ji Fei’s thoughts were not wrong; her mistake lay in not knowing that Yueqian came from a more advanced era where sex education was much more open. There were many ways to satisfy a man without harming the child in the womb. Nowadays, Mu Heng could be intimate with his wife without any obstacles. If not for his concern for the baby and Yueqian’s health, he might do it every day. Of course, whenever he desired it greatly, Yueqian would always help him. There was no reason for him to seek other women for this need.

Regarding this, it was an old-fashioned concept. Many pregnant women didn’t want to lose their babies and wouldn’t let their husbands participate in nighttime activities. Some even went so far as to find concubines for their husbands to lighten this burden, not realizing they were bringing in a serpent to harm themselves.

These women would not help out even a little bit, showing only embarrassment and letting other women win over their husbands. Ji Fei thought this way because she had seen such situations often. In the family she grew up in, there were countless such incidents. Otherwise, how could men have so many wives? It was all due to the importance of matters in the bedroom!

Mu Heng looked at the other party with displeasure, but he had nothing to refute. This was because he knew his wife had a magical item that could bring out something if she needed it urgently. If Yueqian really needed something in a hurry, she could take it out from the mysterious interdimensional space, just like how she brought out delicious food.

Hearing Ji Fei speak as if his wife had become such a temperamental person, Mu Heng felt some reluctance. Of course, he didn’t say anything. This was a secret between him and his little wife. Let others believe this; it might be useful in the future.

"Serve Qian’er well," Mu Heng said before turning to leave. However, Ji Fei didn’t give up easily. She called out to her master, showing a shy demeanor.

"M-My master, actually there is one more thing that Miss ordered. It’s that..." Ji Fei tried to prop herself up but staggered backward.

She expected Mu Heng to rush to her as he should have, but he only looked on calmly, letting her fall to the ground again. Ji Fei could only curse inwardly, not expecting Mu Heng to show no gentlemanly behavior, even taking a step back.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Not only did he not help her up, but Mu Heng also pressured Ji Fei to quickly speak about what his wife wanted.

"Well, Miss asked me to find a book called “The Emperor’s Blessing.” She said she wanted to study it further, but I..." She looked up at Mu Heng again.

"I don’t know where the book is. If possible, could you help me find it? I’m afraid if I look for it myself, Miss will have to wait a long time." Ji Fei’s face turned red, seeming extremely embarrassed by her inability to complete the task.

Mu Heng felt like laughing. He understood her intentions now. It was impossible for Yueqian to have sent a servant to retrieve a book she had already finished reading. That wasn’t her nature at all. Yueqian was someone who remembered everything she read, even recalling the pages of the book. How could it be possible? Why would she still want to retrieve something she already memorized?

He thought for a moment and began to understand. Perhaps his wife had sent this girl herself for some unknown reason. Maybe she was just annoyed or perhaps playing a trick on this untrustworthy maid. Thus, Mu Heng did not volunteer to find the book. He merely looked at Ji Fei with an indifferent gaze.

"A servant like you takes orders from one master to use them on another master?" His pressing tone, as if seeing through her, made Ji Fei pause slightly.

Her smile faded significantly before she tried to explain, but Mu Heng didn’t let her say anything more. He merely pointed back to Yueqian’s quarters, a contemptuous smile appearing.

"Go back inside. After that, know what your duties are. If you continue with such strange thoughts, I won’t keep you around." He said this and then immediately flicked the hem of his cloth and left, leaving Ji Fei utterly confused. This was clearly an order from Mu Heng. Perhaps not bringing the writing supplies to Yueqian as he instructed would cause a quarrel. However, she never expected that upon returning to the quarters, before she could even speak, her eyes widened. Her little face felt repeatedly slapped. In the mistress’s hand was a brush, and others were still assisting with work as if nothing had happened. It turned out she was being tested!?
