Summary of the previous chapter: Zhu Youjian instigated Wei Zhongxian to deal with Ma Ruiqing. Ma Ruiqing was seriously injured. The news spread to Beijing, and Ma Xiaoquan's ears were anxious...
Ma Xiaoquan stood up and suddenly roared: "Prepare your horse!"
How dare the servants of the Ma family be negligent? At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind.
"Ma Xiaoquan, please be patient!"
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes were red and he said bitterly: "Something happened over there in Ningyuan, can I not go?"
The speaker was Li Qinghan. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's eyes were red, Li Qinghan stepped forward, hugged Ma Xiaoquan gently, and whispered: "I heard what Niu Wu said, don't you understand? Dad doesn't want you to go, either.
I didn’t say I wanted to tell you…”
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and fell silent.
Li Qinghan let go of his embrace, turned around and asked Niu Wu, "Niu Wu, do you know me?"
Niu Wu raised his head and glanced at Li Qinghan: "You are the eldest young lady!"
Li Qinghan smiled and said: "No, I am the Fourth Young Mistress!"
"The fourth young lady, but you are clearly the eldest young lady, right?"
Li Qinghan shook his head: "I said I am the Fourth Young Mistress, and I am the Fourth Young Mistress. Niu Wu, tell me honestly, who asked you to spread this news to Beijing?"
Niu Wu was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he shook his head and said: "No, no one! I thought of it myself."
"You think so? Why do you think so?"
Niu Budao: "I am deeply treated by General Ma, so I cannot let General Ma suffer like this."
"Oh" Li Qinghan said meaningfully and turned to look at Ma Xiaoquan.
While Li Qinghan was questioning Niu Wu just now, Ma Xiaoquan had gradually calmed down. Although there were still fluctuations in his heart, it was much better than before.
It has to be said that since the Heart of Time was implanted in Ma Xiaoquan's body, especially in terms of psychology, it has become much stronger than before. Although it is not yet able to achieve honor and disgrace, there is a sense of continuous "evolution".
Feel.
Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and asked Niu Wu, "Niu Wu, my father asked you not to come. You said that you had to come because of my father's care. I'm afraid you can't stand this excuse."
Upon hearing this, Niu Wu stood up and said, "Fourth Young Master, I just have a mouth to spread a message. Whether you listen or not, I will go back to Ningyuan tomorrow."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I know about this. You heard what grandma said just now, right? I will go to Ningyuan soon. Well, Niu Wu, you worked hard on the way,
How about staying overnight before leaving?"
Niu Wu nodded: "Okay, thank you so much, Fourth Young Master."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and ordered his servants to find a guest room for Niu Wu to rest.
After watching Niu Wu leave, Li Qinghan came over and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, I feel something is wrong."
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his right index finger and made a whispering movement to his mouth, indicating that he would go to the study room to talk. Li Qinghan nodded.
After returning to the study and closing the door, Ma Xiaoquan made a gesture that allowed him to speak, but his voice had to be lower.
Li Qinghan hummed and whispered: "That Niu Wu, I always feel that he is lying."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and responded in a low voice: "It's not enough to lie. If he knew he was lying, he must also know that his life will not last long."
"Then I still feel something is wrong."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Qinghan, have you forgotten the carrier pigeon?"
"Homing pigeon? Already trained?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's right, but in order to deceive others, my receiving location is not in Beijing."
Li Qinghan nodded: "What Niu Wu said..."
"It's true!"
"Really? Then dad..." Before Li Qinghan finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to indicate: "Although the matter is serious, Ruiqing was not fatally injured. The serious injury was indeed serious...
..."
"Then what should I do? My mother must be very sad."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, took out a small piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Li Qinghan. Li Qinghan unfolded the small piece of paper, took a look at it, and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, this is the text of Baiyi Clan, this is dad's
notes?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, the content is very simple, telling us not to worry about Ning Yuan's affairs."
"But, no matter what, Ma Xiaoquan, look at grandma just now..."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "I have already told grandma about this, but the content was much lighter than Niu Wu."
"Then grandma today..."
"That was all agreed upon by grandma and I. Well, grandma's acting skills are pretty good. Hey, it's actually a lot of hard work for grandma."
"As for dad's injury, Ma Xiaoquan, you didn't tell grandma in detail, did you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "You can't hide anything. I told the truth, but grandma was very relieved. Qinghan, you guys underestimate grandma's psychological quality. Before I came, grandma could be alone in this situation."
The city of Beijing must be very powerful in supporting these people."
Li Qinghan nodded: "Yeah, too."
"But... Niu Wu needs to be carefully investigated. Hmm, from what I can see, Niu Wu may have been bribed."
"Ma Xiaoquan, you're not going to kill Niu Wu, are you?"
"No, no, no. Killing him would be like alerting the enemy. Not only will I not kill him, but I will also treat him coldly. Let me show you something."
Ma Xiaoquan said, taking out a small envelope from his arms. Li Qinghan took the envelope, pulled out a piece of paper from inside, and read it carefully.
"Ma Xiaoquan, you will not do anything to Niu Wu's family..."
"How is it possible? It's not a harm to the family. This is a Taoist rule. Besides, Niu Wu is just a messenger. He has done nothing wrong. I still count on him to help me deliver messages in the future."
"Then who bought Niu Wu?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "It was done too covertly, and the time was too tight. We won't be able to find it for an hour and a half, so we have to let Niu Wu go back first."
"Um"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, clapped his hands, and said to the door: "Come in."
"yes!"
The study door creaked open, and a man walked in from the door. The man lowered his head and could not see his appearance.
"Keep your head up."
"Yes!" The man raised his head, and Li Qinghan's eyes widened in shock when he saw the man's appearance.
"Ma Xiaoquan, he, he is..."
Ma Xiaoquan was also a little helpless: "Actually, I was also surprised, but he was...well, he had the courage to do it himself and wanted to sneak into the palace, but unfortunately he didn't get into the palace in the end."
Li Qinghan asked the man alertly: "What a pity for such a handsome young man. Get up."
