Ji Fengming was about to tease Ma Chengrao a little more when Shang Xiye waved his hand and flicked out a burst of energy to open the door latch, saying, "Alright, Fengming, it's getting late. Let's finish our business and get some rest so we can set off early tomorrow."
The young woman's condition is critical; they cannot afford to waste a single day or moment.
Meanwhile, Ma Chengrao was clinging to the door, greedily sniffing the aroma of the wine.
Suddenly the door opened, and Ma Chengrao, who had been lying on the door, tumbled in, his hands on the ground, in a prostrate position.
Ji Fengming, Ji Fengyao, and Wanqikafu all burst out laughing at the same time.
“Huh, it really is Ma Da Hu You.” Ji Fengming got up and walked over to Ma Chengrao’s side in a few steps. While helping him up, he smiled and asked knowingly, “But what are you doing? Although I am famous and handsome, you don’t need to give me such a big bow.”
Ma Chengrao: "..."
Young master, where is your face?
Did they eat it in the hot pot too?
Thinking of food, Ma Chengrao jumped up from the ground and stared blankly at the table with his two small green bead eyes. On the table was a pot with a very peculiar shape, and next to the pot were stacks of various kinds of meat and vegetables.
On the two low stools next to it.
There were also two charcoal stoves surrounding a copper basin, inside which several jars of fine wine were being warmed.
Standing in the room, the aroma of hot pot and wine was so enticing that Ma Chengrao's mouth watered uncontrollably.
They didn't wait for anyone to call them.
Ma Chengrao, as if they were old friends, pulled up a chair, poured the entire plate of tofu skin in front of him into the pot, and then, using the plate and a pair of serving chopsticks, quickly forked a few pieces of meat and vegetables into the pot, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed until his mouth was full of oil.
As he chewed, he grunted like a pig, "Oh, it's so delicious, it's so delicious, what a delicacy!"
Wanqika looked at the oil dripping down his chin with great disgust, moved her stool away from this unrefined old scholar.
"Wine, where's the wine?" Ma Chengrao didn't mind the girl's disdain for him. While enjoying his meal, he deliberately looked around and saw Ji Fengyao smiling at him with great interest and cuteness. He couldn't help but feel fond of the girl: "You're such a cheerful girl, it's very endearing. I like you."
As soon as he finished speaking...
The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.
Shang Xiye's face was ashen, and he regretted letting the old scholar in so quickly.
He should be locked up outside so that Fengming can slowly torment him.
“Ninth Prince, don’t be so stern. I’m already this old, how could I possibly have any improper thoughts about the Princess Consort? I’m just happy to see that the Princess Consort is kind and clever.” Ma Chengrao directly pointed out Shang Xiye’s identity, but he didn’t show the same fear and respect for him as he did for Ji Fengming.
It is likely because Shang Xiye used to hold a high position in the imperial court and did not participate in the martial arts world, while the Donglongmen had a notorious reputation in the martial arts world.
After saying that, Ma Chengrao, in a friendly and smiling manner, beckoned to Ji Fengyao: "Come, come, little girl, help me pass a jar of good wine. Your wine smells so good, it's making the worms in my stomach want to crawl out and rebel."
"Sir, roundworms mostly parasitize the small intestine and can occasionally be expelled with feces or with the help of medication; the aroma of wine has no medicinal effect and does not have this function. If they really rebel, you should see a doctor in time."
