Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 694 - 693 Trouble

Ma Guang dashed into the house like a gust of wind and headed straight for his father’s mistress’s room. Meanwhile, Mayor Ma was having a jolly good time snuggling with the newly taken mistress!

Bang!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, Ma Guang saw a flash of white flesh before his eyes, which was then quickly covered by something.

"You vile creature, what are you doing? What do you think this place is? Is it a place you can barge into at will?" Mayor Ma hastily pulled his clothes on and lashed out with a furious face, glancing at his delicate mistress, he shielded Ma Guang’s view and yelled, "Now get out!"

"Dad, there’s trouble!" Ma Guang, unable to see the mistress’s pale flesh, had no choice but to get back to the matter at hand and shouted loudly.

Mayor Ma’s heart skipped a beat, cursing, "You little beast, who are you cursing? I’m perfectly fine!"

"Ouch, I’m not cursing you, Dad. It’s our money that’s in trouble!" said Ma Guang, while dodging away. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Money?

When it comes to money, that’s no small matter.

Mayor Ma frowned and stood up, took his son out of the mistress’s room, and asked, "What exactly happened? You seem quite flustered."

"It’s the pig farm, that Lu Xinlong has rebelled. Dare to pass off inferior pigs as good ones, as if we’re fools to be played with!" Ma Guang stomped his feet.

Mayor Ma felt increasingly that something was amiss, and when they reached the study, he said, "Explain in detail."

Ma Guang sat down and recounted the gossip he had heard from the Little Flower Fairy, learning about Lu Xinlong bringing in a batch of bad pigs and swapping them for good ones. He exploded with anger, and galloped without stopping to the pig farm, where, sure enough, he saw many pigs listless and lacking energy.

"Dad, that Lu Xinlong really has the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard, he actually dared to pass off the bad for good!" Ma Guang said, "If these pigs can’t be sold, isn’t that our loss? So, he’s pretty much stealing from our money bag! You didn’t see it, the golden hairpin he gave to Little Flower Fairy weighs at least three taels!"

Mayor Ma got anxious, asking, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The pigs are not good anymore?"

Ma Guang nodded, "They’re all lying down, not eating anything, wilting away, as if they were sick."

Mayor Ma’s heart leapt, he slammed the table, "Good heavens, that’s bad news!"

Sick pigs are unsellable, who knows what problems they could cause!

"Go, quickly bring that meathead Lu Da here," Mayor Ma felt that something was definitely not right.

Seeing his father’s serious expression, Ma Guang asked, "Dad, what’s wrong? Isn’t it time to settle scores with Lu Xinlong?"

"What do you know? It’s bad enough that the pigs have no energy, but if they’re really sick, who knows if it could be swine fever. If it’s swine fever, then we’re in big trouble!" Mayor Ma bellowed, "No, let’s go together, to the Lu Family."

Saying so, without waiting for his son to respond, he immediately walked out.

At the Lu Family, they were agitated by Old Lady Lu’s latest display of power; even the most filial Lu Da was annoyed and trying his best to persuade his mother to calm down, assuring her that Zhen Zhu would be released in a couple of days.

Old Lady Lu, seeing her son oppose her, started to cry and fuss uncontrollably, forcefully bumping into pillars, saying she wanted to follow her late husband.

The Lu family members all kept their distance, for fear of catching Old Lady Lu’s eye.

"Uncle, Mayor Ma has arrived," Lu Xinxing strode into the main room to report to Lu Da: "He looks like he’s here on urgent business. Uncle, you better go see what it’s about!"

Lu Da was taken aback, what was Mayor Ma doing at his house?
