Need for Uncle

Chapter 22

Chapter 21 Roads
Dongfang Xueyu's utterances were mixed with sobs and persuasion, she shed tears, Ma Xiaoshuai always had an indescribable affection for this fragile little girl, and at this time, this affection It seemed even more worrying.

In fact, the quarrel before Dongfang Mu's sudden illness had already made Ma Xiaoshuai suspicious of the cause of the man's death. The resentment of those struggles in the court has become a matter of course, and it is not difficult to understand why he is so resolute in his refusal to enter the court
"Xueyu, calm down and listen to me."

Ma Xiaoshuai raised up his pear-blossoming, rain-covered face with pity, looked at those sad eyes that made people heartbroken, and said with some distress, "Xueyu, I know your heart, I understand, but I still have to go... "

"No!! Don't say it anymore, you just want to be a high official, you are all like that"

Dongfang Xueyu pushed Ma Xiaoshuai away a little out of control, lying on the bed sobbing, really sad.

Ma Xiaoshuai sighed, and continued: "Xueyu, you have to understand that as a man, if you don't have strength in your hands, even if because of your status, outsiders won't show anything in front of you, but you will look down on them behind your back, you should understand that. "

Dongfang Xueyu raised her head in surprise when she heard this, her tear-stained face was full of doubts.

Ma Xiaoshuai stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the teardrops.

"Even if I'm being labeled as a badass for nothing, do you have the current situation of Xiangguo's Dongfang family?"

Dongfang Xueyu bit her lips tightly, not knowing what Ma Xiaoshuai was going to say.

Ma Xiaoshuai sighed, a little worried.

"Actually, the reason why the Dongfang family is revered in the entire Murong country is entirely because of grandpa, but have you ever thought that grandpa is also an ordinary person, not a god, and will have birth, old age, sickness and death, especially in the past few years, grandpa's My health is getting worse and worse. To put it bluntly, if grandpa is gone, those dignitaries who are somewhat friendly may look at grandpa's face and help us, but as far as I know, grandpa is an upright person, most of the court Everyone has resentment towards him, which means that one day when Grandpa dies, our Dongfang family will be besieged from all sides."

Dongfang Xueyu's face was pale, and she fixedly looked at the obviously different husband in front of her.

Ma Xiaoshuai sighed helplessly, and continued: "So, now, I must take advantage of my grandfather's prestige to make a career, no matter whether I am an official or a businessman, in short, I must have my own career and certain strength, what do you think?" Think, one day grandpa passed away, and I'm just a little boy with an idle face all day long, so why should I protect you, why should I keep you safe?"

Dongfang Xueyu lowered her head again, feeling that heaven and man were at war in her heart. In fact, as she herself said, she didn't want the husband-in-law she entrusted to her life to be an official, living a life of scheming others and being schemed by others. Death had already left a deep imprint in her heart, and he didn't want Ma Xiaoshuai to go down this road again.

But Ma Xiaoshuai's words are also very reasonable, Dongfang Xueyu is not the kind of unreasonable rich lady, she does not want Ma Xiaoshuai to be an official in the court, but she also thinks about what Ma Xiaoshuai said, and she is not stupid at all. Once he woke up, he understood what Ma Xiaoshuai said was true.

"Msanggong... Really, do you really have to do that?"

Dongfang Xueyu raised her sad little face, and she still had the last hope, although she knew that this hope was very slim.

Ma Xiaoshuai sighed helplessly and nodded. In fact, he didn't want to live a peaceful life. Wouldn't it be a fairy-like life to play with his wife without worrying about food and clothing all day long? But he knew he couldn't be so selfish, because the people with him were still With Dongfang Xueyu, he wants to protect her and assume the responsibilities that a man should have. If he wants her to live comfortably without danger, then as a husband, he must have the strength that others dare not violate. He's about to do it.

"Don't worry, being an official in the court is not necessarily a bad thing."

Ma Xiaoshuai was also feeling bad, but he quickly recovered his mood and comforted Dongfang Xueyu who was still crying, "And don't forget, I have gods to help me."

Dongfang Xueyu raised her head when she heard the words, and Ma Xiaoshuai picked up the phone with confidence, shaking it, "Don't forget Sister Immortal, he is very powerful, do you remember the assassin on our wedding night? Heh, back then... If the danger is not easily resolved by Sister Immortal, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ma Xiaoshuai's optimism successfully infected Dongfang Xueyu, although he was still a little worried, but he didn't cry anymore.

"My husband..."

"do not talk."

Ma Xiaoshuai interrupted Dongfang Xueyu, pretending to be angry: "Do you have no confidence in me as your husband-in-law? You think I'm destined to be an idiot who can't afford it? I'm so disappointed."

Dongfang Xueyu quickly waved her hands, her face was full of panic.

"Sir, no, I didn't mean that."

"Then what else do you want to say?"

Dongfang Xueyu pouted, with a resentful expression, "I want you to pay more attention in the future. Although there is a fairy sister to help you, you still have to be careful. It is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to guard against it. My father that is"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Xueyu seemed to recall the unbearable past again, and her eyes dimmed accordingly.

Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoshuai quickly changed the topic.

"Xueyu, the cake is not finished yet, don't let it go to waste."

"Oh"

"There's also orange juice, we have to finish it too."

"kindness."

"Eat quickly."

………………

In the morning of early spring, it is full of vitality.

At this time, it was just dawn, the sun had not yet emerged, and the humidity from last night still remained in the air. On the branches that sprouted new buds not far away, unknown birds were standing in twos and threes, not singing, combing their hair, playing and playing. .

In the backyard of Xiangguo Mansion, the door of the room belonging to Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfangxue opened, and Ma Xiaoshuai, who was still in his pajamas, came out, and stretched out his waist eagerly before the door was closed.

"call"

Greedily sucking in a big mouthful of fresh air, Ma Xiaoshuai, who got up early, moved his hands and feet with some discomfort.

After a long period of consolation last night, Dongfang Xueyu finally agreed to temporarily let Ma Xiaoshuai enter the court as an official. After destroying most of the cake, she fell asleep anxiously with tears in Ma Xiaoshuai's constant comfort. The servant girl came here once, saying that she was inviting the two of them to the hall for dinner, because she had just eaten something, and she didn’t have that kind of thought, so she didn’t go, and finally told the master through the door that the two of them were already there. After eating outside, he hugged the sleeping Dongfang Xueyu and fell into a deep sleep.

Early this morning, Ma Xiaoshuai habitually got up early. Although he was forced to do so, he had to admit that today is indeed a very important day for him, because starting today, another kind of life that does not belong to him Life is about to begin.

"Master..."

Dongfang Xueyu's voice came from behind, Ma Xiaoshuai turned around, and found that she woke up at some point, poking her head out from under the quilt, looking at him with a smile.

"Xueyu, sleep more, it's still early."

Dongfang Xueyu shook her head, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but unexpectedly, this movement caused pain in her lower body, and then she stopped, her face obviously showing some pain.

Ma Xiaoshuai saw it clearly, immediately ran to the bedside, and forced Dongfang Xueyu back.

"Why are you disobedient? Sleep more if you don't feel well today."

Dongfang Xueyu lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I want to give you a gift."

Looking at Dongfang Xueyu's little daughter, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help twitching his index finger, thinking evilly in his heart whether he was going to have a morning class or not. This thought spread rapidly from the beginning, and finally, when the final word was finalized, he had already begun to prepare a hungry tiger to pounce on food.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Hearing the knock on the door, Ma Xiaoshuai exclaimed how lucky he was, luckily he didn't jump up in a hurry.

"come in."

Ma Xiaoshuai turned his head around, secretly suppressing the heat in his heart.

The person who came was the green dress who took care of the two of them. When she was dressed in light green and walked into the room holding a basin of hot water with her head down, Ma Xiaoshuai smiled somewhat. He was always concerned about this girl with crystal eyes. Although it is not strong, it will also appear, although the two of them don't get along much, but that short time is unforgettable.

"Uncle, miss."

"Lvshang, put the water down."

Ma Xiaoshuai called Dongfang Xueyu who was about to get up to sleep, and smiled at the cautious girl standing by the door.

Looking at her, Ma Xiaoshuai always unconsciously overlaps with Dongfang Xueyu's image, the same gentle and harmless, the same considerate, and the same well-behaved.Even Ma Xiaoshuai's attitude toward the two is basically the same. He has affection for Dongfang Xueyu, but for Lushang, he has a kind of affection from the bottom of his heart. They are both good girls.

Lu Chang put down the water obediently, and stood still again, as if waiting for Ma Xiaoshuai's order.

"Lvshang, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Well, not yet. Steward Wang told me to come over early, because my uncle has something to do today."

"Oh"

Ma Xiaoshuai took out a piece of chocolate from his bosom and stuffed it into the girl's hand, "Then go down and have a good meal."

Lu Chang hesitated to take it, and finally retreated with a shy but happy smile.

After washing up, Ma Xiaoshuai said goodbye to Dongfang Xueyu who was still asleep, and finally kissed the little girl's flushed cheek while the little girl was dodging shyly, and walked out with a satisfied smile.

Because the previous arrangements were not detailed enough, Ma Xiaoshuai had to ask Dongfang Mu about his appointment, so he came to the West Wing as soon as he left the backyard to greet the old man and ask how to arrange this matter.

"grandfather!"

It wasn't too late for Dongfang Mo to wake up, he was already sitting in the garden drinking tea, Ma Xiaoshuai saw the old man from a long distance, and immediately stepped forward, lowering his luggage.

The old man was wearing casual clothes, holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, and he didn't look back when he heard the call behind him.

"Telford, I'm going to take office today."

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded. Before that, he didn't know what position the old man had arranged for him.

"Does Xueyu know about your entry into the court as an official?" The old man frowned and asked again.

"Yes, I told her, she... she finally agreed.

Dongfang Mu nodded, as if it was expected.

"Do you know where you want to take office?"

"Grandson doesn't know."

Dongfang Mu picked up a cup of tea and put it to his mouth, but he didn't drink it for a long time. His eyes, which seemed to be always peaceful but slightly cloudy, fixedly looked at the distant mountains and sky. Without Ma Xiaoshuai noticing, The sharp light in his eyes flashed away.

"Rear Commander!"
