She put down her chopsticks in disappointment and did not intend to pick them up again.
Ma Xiaoshuai held the bottle of wine and looked at the street downstairs. He was in a daze and didn't notice the unfriendly eyes not far away from him.
"Young Master Zhang, that's Zhang Defu.”
A burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was holding a glass of wine. He coldly glanced at Ma Xiaoshuai who was sitting by the window and turned to another person beside him.
This handsome young man called Young Master Zhang didn't seem to care about the big man's words. He just glanced at Ma Xiao Shuai and ignored him.
"I know."
Young Master Zhang held the wine in his hand elegantly. The indifference in his tone coupled with his unique deep voice gave off a different kind of evil charm.
The thick-browed man leaned towards Young Master Zhang, completely oblivious to Young Master Zhang's slight frown and the flash of disgust in his eyes.
"Do you want me to go pack up?"
When Young Master Zhang heard this, he looked down at the sake in his cup indifferently. His tone was still as cold as ever.
"You can do whatever you want.”
After saying that, he raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth. Although he did not explicitly express his agreement, the meaning behind it was something that even a not-so-smart man could understand.
"Hu Zi."
The big man's lips curled into a cold smile as he said to a big man behind him,"Do you know what to do?"
" Got it!" The burly man immediately understood and strode towards Ma Xiaoshuai.
Master Zhang silently agreed to this action. He held his wine and looked at the big man who was slowly approaching and Ma Xiaoshuai who was completely unaware. There was no emotional fluctuation in his deep black eyes. Although he was not a person who liked to use violence to solve problems, he did not mind enjoying the good show of his opponent being ridiculed, especially an opponent who married his beloved woman.
Ma Xiaoshuai was looking at the street below his feet. Looking down from this angle, not only did he have a vast view, but he also felt like he was there. However, Ma Xiaoshuai was not in the mood to appreciate it, because the experience of the past few days had made him think about the design from the initial confusion. At this moment, he was thinking about his future plans. If he was not wrong, Dongfang Mu must have made some arrangements after marrying Dongfang Xueyu to him, whether it was to be an official or to do some business. In short, there should be a plan. It would be strange if a first-grade prime minister of the Murong Kingdom was willing to raise a son-in-law who had nothing to do and was willing to let her granddaughter's husband be mediocre.
"Brother, how about a drink?”
An untimely voice interrupted Ma Xiaoshuai's thoughts. When he turned around, he found a big man sitting in front of him. Ma Xiaoshuai looked at this person who looked disdainful. He searched his memory and didn't know him. However, judging from the other party's behavior, he didn't seem very friendly.
"Do we know each other?"
"What? You can't treat me to a drink just because you don't know me?”
The burly man called Hu Zi said with a fierce expression.
Ma Xiao Shuai turned his head and didn't pay attention to this guy who obviously came with ill intentions. He knew that he was probably looking for trouble. Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to have a conflict with this guy who obviously wasn't a good person. Firstly, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Secondly, he had to pay attention to his current status.
"Brat, are you looking down on me?"
The burly man turned around and looked at the burly man with thick eyebrows who nodded silently. He slowly stood up and roared with a furious expression.
This voice alarmed everyone present. The guests who had just been tasting wine and eating stopped what they were doing and looked over curiously, not knowing what was going on.
Ma Xiaoshuai saw this scene and couldn't continue to be silent.”
"So, you really look down on me?”
Seeing the other party's words, the man with a low IQ seemed to be greatly encouraged, and his face was full of pride.
Ma Xiaoshuai shrugged and didn't comment.
"Alright, brat. Do you know who I am? How dare you look down on me?"
The burly man looked angry as if Ma Xiaoshuai had really done something to him.
Ma Xiaoshuai rolled his eyes and thought to himself,'Idiot, you're finding such a low-level excuse to pick a fight. Why don't you just come up and fight?'
"Then what do you want?"
"How is it? Hmph hmph." The burly man snorted and kicked the chair beside him under everyone's gaze." Today, I'll teach you a lesson. Let's see if you still dare to see me in the future."”
Ma Xiao Shuai looked at the people around him and finally locked his eyes on Young Master Zhang's table. He found that these people's eyes were not only gloating but also a little sinister. It seemed that even if these people were not the masterminds behind the scenes, they were also with this big man, right?
"Hey!"
At this moment, the burly man shouted loudly. Then, he rounded his arms and pounced over.
Ma Xiaoshuai had been paying attention to the burly man's movements and knew that this fight was inevitable. Fortunately, he didn't care about anything else. Seeing the burly man's movements, he didn't advance but retreated instead.
The burly man didn't expect Ma Xiaoshuai, who was supposed to be a weak scholar, to not panic at all. Instead, he reached out his hand to meet his movement.？？
Crackling!
"Uh…Ah…"
Accompanied by a series of strange sounds, the aggressive man let out a shrill scream. Then, his body stiffened and fell to the ground in front of everyone's incredulous eyes. He kept twitching, but he did not stand up.
When the surrounding people saw this scene, their eyes widened and their expressions were the same. They all had an incredulous expression.
The instigator, the burly man with thick eyebrows, was also in disbelief. However, what surprised everyone was that his heart was more shocked and frightened. Although Ahu was not an expert, he was still a loyal subordinate who had followed him for many years. Although he had no way of fighting, he had rich experience in fighting. How could he be defeated in one move? Could it be that Zhang Defu was a hidden expert?
Young Master Zhang didn't care whether Zhang Defu was a master or not. He was a meticulous person, and he had keenly caught the series of strange sounds just now. He didn't know how Zhang Defu knocked Tiger to the ground, but he was sure that it had something to do with the sound.
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't care about the shock that he had brought to everyone. He didn't even look at the big man on the ground. He sat back down and poured himself a glass of wine as if nothing had happened. He still looked at the street outside the window lazily and drank.
In fact, he had closed the distance between him and the burly man just now to avoid the realization of the crowd. It was convenient for him to take out the stun baton in his hand from the sleeve. At the moment of approach, he used the two people's bodies as cover to block the vision from all directions. This way, this strange attack seemed seamless. No matter how others guessed it, they would not be able to guess it. As for the stun baton, it had already been withdrawn into the sleeve without a trace the moment the fatty fell.
"Young Master Zhang!"
The thick-browed man finally came back to his senses. Although he was worried about his subordinate's comfort, he did not rashly go forward.
Young Master Zhang's mood of watching a good show had long since disappeared. At this moment, he was thinking about the strange sound. When he heard the burly man's call, he put down his wine glass with some dissatisfaction and said coldly,"Go out first. You can clean up later.”
"Yes, yes."
The thick-browed man nodded and looked fiercely at Ma Xiaoshuai who was looking at him from the window. Then, he looked at his poor brother who was foaming at the mouth on the ground. He helplessly followed Young Master Zhang who had stood up and turned to go downstairs.
In fact, all the diners on the entire floor who had witnessed this scene knew that the big man was probably in the same group as that group of people. However, judging from the light of the leader's clothes, he was obviously not an ordinary person, so they pretended not to know anything. After waiting for Young Master Zhang and his group to leave in a grandiose manner, these diners began to discuss among themselves. However, Ma Xiaoshuai, who had shocked everyone, was still present, so they didn't dare to be so brazen. However, the eyes that he threw at them from time to time clearly explained the problem.
Ma Xiaoshuai had no interest in staying any longer after such a ruckus and the attention of the crowd. He sighed helplessly and called his son to pay for the wine. Ignoring the heated discussion behind him, he left the restaurant without a moment's hesitation.
After walking around the street, Ma Xiaoshuai slowly lost interest and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although Dongfang Mu's acute heart disease was temporarily relieved by the quick-acting heart-saving pill, Ma Xiaoshuai was still a little worried. He returned to the residence and went straight to Dongfang Mu's room in the west wing.
Two servant girls came out from the inner hall and quickly lowered their luggage when they saw Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Guye."
"En, how is the master?"
A young girl with delicate features lowered her head and replied,""Reporting to son-in-law, the old master is fine. He is currently receiving guests in his room.”
"A guest?" Ma Xiaoshuai frowned slightly. Old Master got out of bed?"
"Yes, son-in-law."
"Mhm, got it. You may leave."
Ma Xiaoshuai was puzzled. Why did Dongfang Mu get out of bed so quickly and come out to receive guests?
Ma Xiaoshuai walked into the room with great strides, full of doubts. He saw Dongfang Mu sitting at the head of the table, chatting happily with a white-browed old man of the same age. He seemed to be in good spirits, and his face was ruddy. He did not look like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Ma Xiao Shuai was shocked, but he did not show it. Seeing Dongfang Mu notice him, he quickly bowed.
"Grandpa."
"It's Defu."
Dongfang Mu raised his hand slightly and gestured for Ma Xiaoshuai to sit to the side. He then smiled and said,""I heard about what happened at noon. It's all thanks to you.”
"Grandpa, don't say that. I can't take it.”
Ma Xiaoshuai pretended to be terrified and waved his hand,"Besides, this is what I should do.”
Dongfang Mu nodded in satisfaction and said,""I'll remember this. We'll talk about it in the future. Sit down.”
"Yes."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded and sat back in his chair. He looked at the old man beside him and asked,""This is…"
The old man smiled but did not answer.
On the contrary, Dongfang Mu lowered his status and introduced him,"This is the new gardener in the residence. In the future, he will take care of some flowers and plants in the residence."”
Ma Xiao Shuai nodded and did not say anything else. He was not stupid enough to think that this old man was just a gardener like Dongfang Mu had said. Even if he was, Dongfang Mu had only avoided the important matters when he introduced himself. Think about it, how could a gardener have a good conversation with a country's prime minister? An introduction that could make Dongfang Mu lower his status? How could a gardener receive such courtesy?
