Need for Uncle

Chapter 9

Chapter 8 Old Xiangguo

About half an hour later, the room opened again.

Ma Xiaoshuai walked out first, and he was wearing a light gray gown, a pair of light blue cloth boots, his hair was neatly combed into a bun, coiled neatly on top of his head, tied up with a short white jade hairpin.

Dongfang Xueyu, who walked out afterwards, was so beautiful that she shouldn't be. She was dressed in a light pink gown, which made her more fresh and refined.

"Xueyu, let's go."

Ma Xiaoshuai's complexion was rosy and shiny, and his whole body was full of heroism and high spirits.

"kindness……"

Dongfang Xueyu took out the silk handkerchief in her hand and gently covered her mouth, lowered her head, the flush on her face hadn't receded, even though there was no actual skin-to-skin relationship just now, for her who was not a human being, it was still Somewhat unacceptable.

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled, took Dongfang Xueyu's hand, and walked towards the west wing.

"Sir, the treasure in your hand last night..."

Dongfang Xueyu raised her head, looked at Ma Xiaoshuai anxiously and asked, out of curiosity, she had long wanted to ask what it was when she saw it last night, but considering that it was Ma Xiaoshuai's privacy, she was always embarrassed to ask, Seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was in a good mood at this time, he brought it up.

"Oh, that one"

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled indifferently, and said, "Didn't I tell you, it is a family treasure, and there is a fairy inside."

"really?"

Dongfang Xueyu asked uncertainly: "Is there really a god in the world?"

"Of course, I'll show you next time."

"really?"

Dongfang Xueyu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said, "Really show me?"

Ma Xiaoshuai didn't care, since he couldn't tell Dongfang Xueyu the truth about his identity, such a small wish could still be fulfilled. As for Tang Xiao, heh, didn't he just want to see his wife?
"Well, I'll show you after seeing Grandpa, how about it?"

"it is good"

Dongfang Xueyu nodded happily, with a bright smile on her face, like a child who got candy.

At this moment, two servant girls walked by and saw Ma Xiaoshuai and hurriedly saluted, "Miss, uncle."

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded slightly, and continued to lead Dongfang Xueyu forward
"Hey, have you heard? An assassin came last night, saying that he was going to assassinate Miss, but was knocked down by our uncle."

The two little maids who walked not far turned their heads from time to time and cast their eyes on Ma Xiaoshuai. One of the shorter maids knew about Ma Xiaoshuai's brilliant battle last night, and looked at the other little maid beside him with admiration. gossip.

"Ah? Uncle? Uncle is so weak, so why..."

The little maid said in shock.

"It is said that my uncle knows how to play fairy arts. When dealing with the two assassins, he threw two bolts of lightning casually, and knocked them down. I also heard from Er Gouzi that the two assassins are still alive now. In the dungeon, it was miserable being cleaned up by my uncle..."

Ma Xiaoshuai listened to the gossip of the two little maids, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, secretly thinking that this little girl was exaggerating, she almost called herself Ultraman and the assassin a little monster.

"Sir, it seems that these little girls admire you."

Dongfang Xueyu pouted, seemingly jealous, but the pride that flashed in the corner of his eyes betrayed his true inner thoughts.

Ma Xiaoshuai also understood, and jokingly said: "Who told you that I am so handsome, hey..."

…………

West wing room, main hall.

Dongfang Muduan sat at the head of the hall, playing with a piece of warm jade pendant in his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a peaceful look on his face.

The previous Steward Wang stood at the side in an orderly manner, with his body slightly lowered.

"Wang Gui."

Dongfang Mu opened his eyes a little, and said, "It was so noisy last night...what's going on?"

Steward Wang raised his head, took two steps forward without any trace, and replied, "A group of men in black sneaked in, creating chaos and taking the opportunity to assassinate the young lady."

"Is Xueyu okay?"

Dongfang Mu Wenyan raised his head, looked at Steward Wang, and blamed him for not notifying him immediately.

Steward Wang broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "Miss is fine, but she was a little frightened, those assassins were also caught, and after being tortured, she still refused to say who instigated it, I guess... ..."

"I see."

Dongfang Mu interrupted Steward Wang's words unhurriedly, as if he had an answer in his heart, his eyes opened and closed, and the light disappeared in a flash, "I know this matter well, so I don't need to say it."

Steward Wang nodded hurriedly, took two steps back, and stood up again.

Dongfang Mu regained his previous peaceful expression, stretched out his hand to pick up a purple sand teapot on the table, poured out a cup of clear tea, and held it up to his mouth to taste.

"master……"

Butler Wang raised his head, hesitating when he spoke.

"Just say anything."

Dongfang Mu opened his eyes and glanced at the butler beside him, as if dissatisfied with his indecision.

"Yes Yes."

Wang Guanjia said: "The assassin last night was caught by my uncle."

"Telford?"

Dongfangmu looked at the butler in surprise, and stopped drinking tea.

"Yes."

Butler Wang nodded and continued: "I also heard from my family Ding Ergou later. It is said that my uncle was holding something in his hand. Later, when he pointed at the assassin, he shot a series of lightning-like objects, and then the assassin fell down. Go down and be taken to the dungeon by us, it is said that I just woke up today."

"lightning?"

Dongfang Mu put the teacup in his hand on the table, lowered his head and thought to himself.

"master."

At this time, a young man dressed as a servant appeared at the door, bowed his body and did not come in. "Master and Miss are here."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

……

Ma Xiaoshuai took Dongfang Xueyu's hand into the hall.

Seeing an old man with a serene but majestic expression sitting in the first seat, he came to the conclusion almost without any thought, that this is Dongfang Xueyu's grandfather, the elder of the three dynasties of Murong Kingdom——Dongfang Mu.

"grandfather."

Ma Xiaoshuai pulled Dongfang Xueyu to kneel down according to the etiquette in his memory. Although he was not used to kneeling for others, he was relieved when he thought that the person opposite was his wife's grandfather.

"Get up."

Dongfang Mu raised his hand and showed a smile for the first time. After Ma Xiaoshuai and the two got up, he said to Dongfang Xueyu, "Xueyu,... last night, were you alright?"

"fine."

Dongfang Xueyu smiled.

"kindness……"

Dongfang Mu nodded, then turned to Ma Xiaoshuai and said, "Defu, what about you?"

Ma Xiaoshuai hurriedly said, "Thank you grandpa for your concern, I'm fine."

"Well, that's good, that's good."

Dongfang Mudao: "Sit down."

Ma Xiaoshuai and Dongfang Xueyu agreed, turned around and sat down.

"Haha, Defu and Xueyu are here?"

Just when Ma Xiaoshuai was about to speak, a hearty and somewhat ruffian laughter suddenly came from next to his ear.

"Father, good morning, there are Xueyu and Defu"

A middle-aged man approached in front of the door, about 40 years old, with messy clothes and unkempt appearance.

Ma Xiaoshuai hurriedly searched his memory, only to learn that this is Dongfang Xueyu's only uncle, that is, Dongfangmu's second son, who is rumored to be idle and drunk all day, and go around doing bad things under the name of the old man. Yi's playboy was called a great harm to Murong Cheng.

"Morning uncle."

Dongfang Xueyu stood up, Ma Xiaoshuai also stood up, and the two of them packed their luggage.

"Hey, I'm all on my own, you're welcome, sit down and sit down."

Dongfangchang waved his hands, showing impatience, and when he said this, he had already sat on the stool, crossed his legs, picked up a pot of water on the table and drank it.

"Changlin, sit down."

Dongfang Mu revealed his majestic side, and whispered to Dongfang Changlin.

"Huh? Oh hehe, good."

Dongfang Changlin sat up straight with a smile, put his hands in his arms neatly, seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and moved around a little bit, Dongfang Xueyu who was watching couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle, did you drink a lot last night?"

"Ah? Hehe, yes."

Dongfang Changlin smiled heartily, and his sitting posture became restless again "Those court elders looked like they were entering a coffin, but when they drank wine, they all looked like they had taken aphrodisiacs. , there are not many people who are overwhelmed by me, but your uncle and me..."

"enough!"

Dongfang Mu interrupted Dongfang Changlin's eloquence with a stern shout, "Changlin, did you know about the assassins at home last night?"

"oh, I know."

Dongfang Changlin snorted, and said indifferently: "Isn't there no one in the family who was hurt?"

Snapped!
Dongfang Mu suddenly slapped the table beside her with a face full of anger, "Xueyu's father passed away early, and you are the only relative left in the family besides me. It is etiquette for you to go out to accompany her to drink on her wedding night, but don't forget How did your elder brother explain you when he died, huh?"

"I always remember what my brother said."

Dongfang Changlin restrained his frivolity at this moment, with no expression on his face, but a chilling indifference in his eyes, "But don't forget, how did the elder brother die, who did he do for, and why did Xueyu... Almost orphaned."

"asshole!"

Dongfang Mu suddenly stood up, pointing at Dongfang Changlin with one hand, trembling and speechless, apparently out of anger.

Ma Xiaoshuai seemed to understand something from the conversation between the two and the reactions of both parties. Seeing that something was wrong with the scene, he remained silent all the time. He's just an uncle who stuck in the door backwards. It's better not to know or ask about these things.

"Grandpa, uncle, stop arguing."

Dongfang Xueyu looked at Ma Xiaoshuai with his head down, thinking that his husband-in-law was not good at talking at this time, in order to ease the atmosphere, of course only he, the only relative by blood, came to comfort him.

"Nizi... bastard... uh!"

Just when Dongfang Xueyu was anxiously trying to ease the atmosphere, the already agitated Dongfang Mu suddenly groaned, and then fell down on the chair, clutching his chest in pain.

"grandfather!"

"father!"

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Xueyu and Dongfang Changlin both exclaimed in surprise and hurried forward.

Ma Xiaoshuai was also taken aback, and immediately went up to meet him.

"Grandpa, talk to me, woo...Grandpa."

"Master... Master..."

"Dad, Dad, what's the matter with you?"
