I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

When Ma Zhou set his sights on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian also cast his gaze over.

just
Ma Zhou felt that what he should see was a look of relief, a look of appreciation, or a look like "I am very optimistic about you, I will write down your kindness".

but no.

All he got was Li Chengqian's vicious gaze, and the expression of hatred twisted into a ball on the prince's face.

This made Ma Zhou startled.

this reaction is wrong
At the risk of being blamed by His Majesty, I blocked my official career for the next ten or 20 years. It can be said that I have completely handed in a nomination certificate.

In the end, Li Chengqian had such an attitude towards him?

Ma Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

All this failed to hide from Li Shimin's eyes, and he saw it all, but he didn't say anything.

The last farce came to an end, and the court meeting came to an end.

After leaving the Zhuque Gate, Ma Zhou paused and walked up to Li Chengqian. Taking advantage of no one around him paying attention to him, he cupped his hands and said softly, "Your Highness, I don't know why you showed me that in the hall just now. look like that?"

Ma Zhou hit a straight ball.

He had to figure out this question, and only now did he have the opportunity to ask the question so willfully and directly.

Otherwise, Li Chengqian's gloomy gaze and expression would leave such a thorn in his heart.

Li Chengqian sneered: "I asked you to blame King Wei, why did you implicate that shopkeeper?"

Ma Yiyi was stunned, and frowned slightly. Sure enough, the expression he saw in the hall was not his own illusion, and the malice was not aimed at other people, but at himself.

"According to His Royal Highness." Ma Zhou lowered his head and replied softly, "Naturally, it is a nest of snakes and rats working in collusion, which is more proof."

He didn't follow Li Chengqian's words. Li Chengqian could say some things, but if he was caught, the most painful result would be to lose his official position.

But if he said these words and was caught, he might lose his life.

Ma Zhou's explanation did not satisfy Li Chengqian.

On the contrary, it made his face a little bit more angry: "Oh, something that is not enough to succeed, but has more than nothing to do."

"If you have a chance in the future, don't attack that shopkeeper again!"

"He has a very good relationship with his father."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian quickened his pace and walked away quickly.

Ma Zhou stood there blankly.

A burst of anger welled up in my heart.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would treat him like this.This matter failed, not because Li Chengqian only talked about Li Tai, but didn't mention Li Shimin in a single word.

Maybe, he has a problem.

Is there no problem with Li Chengqian?
Moreover, he still gambled on his future, blocked his future official career, and doing such a thing for Li Chengqian, as a monarch, should also be an encouragement and comfort.

Instead of cursing such words.

What can you get by scolding yourself?
Out of anger?

As a prince, he has no measure at all.

Ma Zhou took a deep breath and looked at Li Chengqian's back, with a flash of disgust in his eyes. He thought that as Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian had such a broad mind.

Now it seems that such a narrow-mindedness is not worthy of kowtow.

Although the nomination certificate was accepted.

But not to the point of no return.

Continue to stay under Li Chengqian's hands?

This is impossible. With Li Chengqian's attitude towards him now, Ma Zhou feels that he has become an abandoned son, and he will really conflict with the Crown Prince and the King of Wei in the future.

I am the one who will be thrown out without hesitation.

Ma Zhou's face was gloomy, and he walked slowly towards his carriage. On the way back, he thought about how to break this situation with his mere one.

Starting with Li Tai?
No. Sending it to Wei Wang's mansion by yourself is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and throwing oneself into a trap.

Then it seems that we can only start with that store?

The shop owner has a good relationship with His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but he is not in the court, which is a very good entry point, but... I don't know what your Majesty's identity is in that restaurant.

After returning home.

Ma Zhou sent his servants to inquire about the news, and it was not difficult to inquire about the news. He just stopped a diner at random and asked if there were any other important people in the restaurant besides Wei Wang Li Tai.

After all, he is a servant of Ma Zhou's family.

He was still very cautious, stopped more than one person, and asked the same question.

The answers I got were mostly the same, except for His Royal Highness King Wei and the store owner, there were no big names.

I asked six or seven people in a row.

Only one thought of Duan Guan hesitantly, and hesitantly asked whether Duan Guan, the son of the Duke, was considered a big shot.

Can the Duke's son be considered a big shot?

The servant was a little speechless. He didn't know what was going on with the people in this restaurant. Fortunately, he asked a few more questions, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find out such a big news.

By the time he got home, it was almost curfew.

The servant told Ma Zhou the information he had inquired, and it was similar to Ma Zhou's previous prediction. His Majesty and the ministers in the court were indeed concealing their identities.

As for Duan Guan who was highlighted by the servant
Ma Zhou didn't take it to heart.

Duke Guo is indeed a great person, but it's just Duan Guan - he also often hears the name of this young man, but it's just a bad reputation.

Such a dude is not even qualified to be a pawn now.

Wait until the rest is over.

After confirming that Li Shimin would not appear in the Tongfu restaurant, Ma Zhou hurried to the Tongfu restaurant with a present in his hand - this gift was carefully prepared by him.

In the past two years in Chang'an, he has collected more than 300 guan, and plans to buy a big house in a few more years.In Chang'an City, which is not that important, housing prices are very cheap.

But in those important cities, housing prices are skyrocketing. More than 300 guan, barely enough to buy a front yard, and the back yard is still worse.

This time, I gritted my teeth and was cruel, and cut half of the front yard out, and bought a pair of tall colored glass cups in the Linlang Pavilion, which was on fire in Chang'an City recently.

He doesn't believe it anymore.

Yin Xuan couldn't forgive him for taking out such an expensive gift.

Wait until Tung Fook Restaurant.

Ma Zhou took a deep breath, and without asking the servants to help, he walked in with the brocade box in his hands.In the afternoon, there were not many customers in the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the sullen and naive little fat man lying on the table, and Yin Xuan who was sitting opposite Li Tai with a serious face and reprimanded him.

Ji Wen was about to meet her.

Ma Zhou shook his head, walked up to Li Tai respectfully, and bowed to greet him: "During the matter, Ma Zhou met His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Li Tai didn't give Ma Zhou a good look, but just snorted coldly.

This bastard... sued him a few days ago, although he was not punished, and his father didn't scold him, but... the queen mother didn't escape, and was scolded for a long time by ear.

This hatred, he remembered.
