Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Threat (5)_1

"Yes, I understand. I definitely won’t mess up Prince’s dealings. However, I think it’s not convenient for me and the masters to appear frequently in Feng City. If he acted as an informant, it should be a lot more convenient." In his sudden desperate need for a plan, Ma Erlang thought of an excuse to protect Ma Zhicai.

The few men looked at each other in silence.

"Gentlemen." Suddenly, the voice of the inn’s server came from outside the door.

The few men quickly placed Ma Zhicai on the bed, put down the bed screen, and then calmly opened the door.

Two servers came in from outside the door, carrying plates with steaming dishes on them.

"All the food you asked for is here, and this roast duck is specially bought from Linji by us." The server bragged with a smile.

"Here’s a tip for you two. There’s no need to come back if nothing is needed, you can clean up the dishes tomorrow, we’re tired after a day’s worth of running around." One man instructed coldly.

Happily seeing the generous tip from the guests, the servers nodded in agreement, smiling as they left, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

From the moment the servers came in, Ma Zhicai had been trying to struggle and make some noise, hoping the servers would rescue him, but his body was not cooperating, and he did not expect the servers to be dismissed so easily by the men. All of a sudden, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don’t you dare try any tricks." After the servers left, one of the men grabbed Ma Zhicai from the bed, another man pried open Ma Zhicai’s mouth and stuffed a pill in it.

Ma Zhicai did not know what they were feeding him, he didn’t want to swallow it, but a smack on his back by one of the men made him swallow it down his throat right away.

"This is poison. If you dare to shout or make a fuss, it will instantly take your life." A man glared at him threateningly.

Ma Zhicai blinked rapidly, indicating that he would not cause trouble.

Only then did the men unlock his pressure points.

"Uncle Er." As soon as his body could move, Ma Zhicai rolled and crawled to hide behind Ma Erlang.

Ma Erlang let out a deep sigh, then turned his head to look at him: "As long as you obey these gentlemen, Uncle Er guarantees nothing will happen to you..."

Ever since Chu Suifeng left the Lin Family in a huff that day, he had indeed not appeared at the Lin Family for over ten days, nor had he sent any gifts.

The rest of the Lin Family did not notice anything unusual, but Lin Changshu who was present that day felt slightly uneasy. After all, no matter how powerful the Lin Family may be, they still lived on the land governed by Chu Suifeng. Would the Prince be displeased with the Lin Family because Ziyin had not given him face that day?

He wanted to discuss this with Ziyin, but Ziyin had been staying in the backyard all day long since that day, even eating his meals there, so he had no chance to discuss it with Ziyin.

"What happened?" Being family, the old man left Lin Changshu alone after the meal.

Lin Changshu knew he couldn’t hide worries from the old man for long, and he really needed to discuss this with someone, so he recounted the events in full detail. "Grandfather, do you think the Prince will hold a grudge against Ziyin?"

"Since the Prince did not lose his temper on the spot, he will not vent his anger on our Lin Family afterwards. He might not want to come by just because he can’t swallow his pride. Don’t worry too much about this, just do what you should be doing and don’t mention it to your daughter-in-law and Zige to avoid causing them unnecessary worry."
