Ma Xiaoshuai walked out first. He was wearing a light grey long robe and a pair of light blue cloth boots. His hair was neatly combed and tied up on the top of his head with a short white jade hairpin.
Dongfang Xueyu, who walked out after him, was extremely beautiful. She wore a light pink gown, which made her look even more refined.
"Xue Yu, let's go."
Ma Xiaoshuai's face was red and shiny, his entire person was full of heroic spirit.
"Yes…"
Dongfang Xueyu took out a silk handkerchief and gently covered her mouth. She lowered her head, and the redness on her face had yet to subside. Although there was no actual physical contact between them, it was still a little difficult for her, who had never experienced anything before, to accept.
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and took Dongfang Xueyu's hand, walking towards the west wing.
"Husband, the treasure in your hand last night…"
Dongfang Xueyu raised her head and asked Ma Xiaoshuai nervously. Out of curiosity, she had long wanted to ask what the thing she saw last night was, but considering that it was Ma Xiaoshuai's privacy, she was too embarrassed to ask. Seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was in a good mood, she brought it up.
"Oh, that."
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and said,""Didn't I tell you? That's a family treasure. There's an immortal inside.”
"Really?"
"Are there really immortals in this world?" Dongfang Xueyu asked uncertainly.”
"Of course, I'll show you next time.”
"Really?"
Dongfang Xueyu's face lit up with joy when she heard that. She said,""Are you really showing it to me?"
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't mind. He couldn't tell Dongfang Xueyu the truth about his identity, but he could still fulfill his wish. As for Tang Xiao, he just wanted to see his wife.
"Mhm, I'll show it to you after I'm done meeting grandpa.”
"Alright," she said.
Dongfang Xueyu nodded her head excitedly. Her face was smiling brightly, like a child who had just received candy.
At this moment, two servant girls walked by and saw Ma Xiaoshuai and his wife.”
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded slightly and continued to walk forward with Dongfang Xueyu.
"Hey, have you heard? Last night, an assassin came and said that he was preparing to assassinate the young miss. In the end, he was teased by our son-in-law and fell."
The two maidservants who had not walked far turned their heads from time to time, looking at Ma Xiaoshuai. One of the shorter maidservants had somehow learned about Ma Xiaoshuai's glorious battle last night, and she looked at the other maidservant with admiration.
"What? Guye? Guye is so weak, so how…"
The little servant girl said with a shocked expression.
" It's said that my son-in-law knows some immortal techniques. When he was dealing with the two assassins, he threw out two bolts of lightning and knocked them down. I also heard from Buttface that the two assassins are still in the dungeon. They were beaten up by my son-in-law…"
Ma Xiaoshuai heard the gossip of the two little maids and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He thought that this little girl was exaggerating. She simply said that she was Ultraman and the assassin was a little monster.
"Husband, it seems that these little girls admire you.”
Dongfang Xueyu pouted her lips as if she was very jealous. However, the pride that flashed in the corner of her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Ma Xiaoshuai also understood and joked,"" Who asked your husband to be so handsome? Sigh…"
…………
West wing, main hall.
Dongfang Mu sat at the head of the hall, playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he had a serene expression.
Butler Wang, who had been standing at the side obediently, had his body slightly lowered.
"Wang Gui."
Dongfang Mu opened his eyes a little and said,""It was so noisy last night…What happened?”
Butler Wang raised his head and took two steps forward without leaving a trace. He replied,"It was a group of men in black who sneaked in, creating chaos and taking the opportunity to assassinate Miss.”
"Is Xue Yu alright?"
Dongfang Mu raised his head and looked at Butler Wang, blaming him for not informing him immediately.
Butler Wang broke out in a cold sweat when he was looked at. He quickly said," Miss is fine. She's just a little frightened. The assassins were also captured. After being tortured, they refused to say who instructed them. I guess it was..."
"En…I understand."
Dongfang Mu interrupted Butler Wang's words unhurriedly. He seemed to have an answer in his heart. As he opened his eyes, a bright light flashed." I know what to do with this matter. There's no need to say anymore."”
Butler Wang nodded quickly and took two steps back before standing up again.
Dongfang Mu regained his usual calm expression. He reached out to pick up a purple clay teapot on the table and poured out a cup of tea. He raised it to his mouth and tasted it.
"Master…"
Butler Wang raised his head and said hesitantly.
"If you have something to say, say it."
Dongfang Mu opened his eyes and glanced at the butler beside him. He seemed to be dissatisfied with his hesitation.
"Yes, yes."
"The assassin last night was, was caught by son-in-law."”
"Defu?"
Dongfang Mu looked at the butler in surprise and stopped drinking tea.
"Yes."
Butler Wang nodded and continued," I also heard about it from my servant Ergou later. It was said that the son-in-law was holding something in his hand. Later on, when he was facing the assassin, he shot a series of lightning-like things. Later on, the assassin fell and was taken to the dungeon by us. It was said that he only woke up today.”
"Lightning?"
Dongfang Mu placed the teacup on the table and lowered his head to think.
"Master."
At this moment, a young man dressed as a servant appeared at the door. He lowered his body and did not walk in.”
"Let them in."
"Yes."
……
Ma Xiaoshuai held Dongfang Xueyu's hand and walked into the hall.
He saw a serene but dignified old man sitting at the head of the table. Without thinking, he came to the conclusion that this was Dongfang Xueyu's grandfather, the elder of the Murong Kingdom's three dynasties, Dongfang Mu.
"Grandpa."
Ma Xiaoshuai pulled Dongfang Xueyu to kneel down according to the etiquette in his memory. Although he was not used to kneeling to others, he felt relieved when he remembered that the person in front of him was his wife's grandfather.
"Get up."
Dongfang Mu raised his hand and revealed a smile for the first time. After Ma Xiaoshuai and the other man stood up, he turned to Dongfang Xueyu and said,""Xue Yu,…last night, were you alright?”
"I'm fine."
Dongfang Xueyu smiled.
"Yes…"
Dongfang Mu nodded and turned to Ma Xiaoshuai,""What about you, Defu?"
"Thank you for your concern, grandpa. I'm fine."”
"En, that's good, that's good."
"Have a seat," Dongfang Mu said.
Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfang Xueyu responded in unison and sat down.
"Haha, De Fu and Xue Yu are here?”
Just as Ma Xiaoshuai was about to speak, a hearty laughter with a bit of roguish sounded in his ear.
"Father, good morning. There's also Xue Yu and De Fu."
A middle-aged man in his forties approached the door. His clothes were messy and he looked unkempt.
Ma Xiaoshuai quickly searched through his memories and found out that this was Dongfang Xueyu's only uncle, Dongfang Mu's second son. It was said that he did not do his job properly and was involved in alcohol and women all day long. He used the old man's name to do bad things everywhere. He was a first-class profligate son and was known as Mu Rong Cheng's great harm.
"Good morning, Uncle."
Dongfang Xueyu stood up and Ma Xiaoshuai followed suit.
"Hey, we're all on the same side. Don't stand on ceremony. Sit down.”
Dongfang Chang waved his hand and pretended to be impatient. When he said this, he had already sat on a stool, crossed his legs, picked up a pot of water on the table, and gulped it down.
"Changlin, sit properly."
Dongfang Mu revealed his dignified side and shouted at Dongfang Changlin in a low voice.
"What? Ohoho, alright."
Dongfang Changlin sat up straight with a smile. He placed his hands in his arms obediently. He seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and moved around shyly. Dongfang Xueyu, who was watching from the side, could not help but laugh.
"Uncle, did you drink a lot last night?”
"What? Hehe, that's right."
Dongfang Changlin laughed heartily, and his sitting posture became restless again." Those elders in the imperial court all look like they're in their coffins, but when they drink, it's as if they've taken aphrodisiac. After one night, only a few of them were drunk by me. But your uncle, I..."
"Enough!"
Dongfang Mu's stern shout interrupted Dongfang Changlin's endless speech. His expression was not very good." Changlin, do you know about the assassin who came to our house last night?”
"Oh, I know."
Dongfang Changlin pouted and said indifferently,""Didn't no one get hurt at home?”
Pa!
Dongfang Mu suddenly slammed his palm on the table beside him. His face was filled with anger." Xueyu's father passed away early. Other than me, you're the only family member left in the family. It's etiquette for you to accompany her on her wedding night, but don't forget your duty. What did your elder brother tell you when he died?”
"I've always remembered Big Brother's words.”
At this moment, Dongfang Changlin restrained his frivolity. There was no expression on his face, but there was a coldness in his eyes that made people feel cold."But don't forget how Big Brother died, who he died for, and why Xue Yu almost became an orphan."”
"Bastard!"
Dongfang Mu suddenly stood up. He pointed at Dongfang Changlin with one hand and trembled, unable to speak. Clearly, he was furious.
Ma Xiaoshuai seemed to have understood something from their conversation and reactions. Seeing that something was wrong, he kept silent. Although he was considered a family member with his current status, he also understood that he was just a son-in-law who had entered the door. It was better for him not to know or ask about these things.
"Grandpa, Uncle, stop arguing.”
Dongfang Xueyu looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who had his head lowered. It was not easy to talk to her husband at this time. In order to ease the atmosphere, only he, the only blood relative, came to comfort her.
"Unfilial son…Bastard…Ugh!"
Just as Dongfang Xueyu was anxiously trying to ease the atmosphere, Dongfang Mu, who was already agitated, suddenly let out a muffled groan. Immediately after, he fell onto the chair and clutched his chest with a pained expression.
"Grandpa!"
"Father!"
Dongfang Xueyu and Dongfang Changlin cried out in alarm and rushed forward.
Ma Xiaoshuai was also shocked, and he quickly followed.
"Grandpa, say something, sob sob…Grandpa.”
"Master…Master…"
"Father, father, what's wrong?"
