"I'm not exactly against it,"
After feeling Liu Gong's murderous gaze, Ma Chenglong chuckled dryly and touched his head as he said, "I've just taken on a commission and can't get away at the moment."
"What's more important than your niece?"
The classic patriarchal comment came from Liu Gong.
"The Prime Minister sent someone to find me a few days ago."
With a sigh, Ma Chenglong said somewhat helplessly, "He asked me to find a headless corpse, located in Beiliang. He offered a good price, and mainly, he also promised to give me two pieces of Taibai's poetry, so I took it."
Ma Chenglong thought that after he finished his statement, his father would scold him for dealing with dead bodies, or command him to cancel the commission and quickly join him in teaching Zhu Qianyun. But, to Ma Chenglong's surprise, not only did Liu Gong not show immediate alarm, but he and the young man both fell into a strange silence.
The expressions on both their faces were quite the spectacle.
