Ge Shuxingyun nodded and continued: "Grandma, the death of Ma Zhi, the head of Ma family, was still an unsolved case. You only heard that the circumstances of his death were tragic..."
Mrs. Ma interrupted the poem and said: "Having said that, Zhi'er has indeed been dead for a long time. Little baby, you can only rely on a jade pendant to confirm that Zhi'er is not dead. I won't believe it, old lady.
"
...
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Tian Ergeng smoothed things over in time and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't be anxious yet. There must be a reason why Geshu Xingyun said this."
"What's the reason? Tell me?"
Tian Ergeng and Ge Shuxingyun looked at each other, and the latter smiled and said: "Grandma just said that these jade pendants were originally a pair. One was held by Ma Zhi, the head of the family, and the other was given to Li Qinghan.
And Li Qinghan has disappeared, so this jade pendant has become an orphan..."
"You said this, old lady, of course I know~"
Ge Shuxingyun nodded and said: "Grandma, please listen to me and continue... This pair of jade pendants is not important, but the person holding the jade pendants is very important... because
This jade pendant was not stolen or picked up by us, but someone gave it to me."
"For you? Who, could it be Zhi'er?"
Ge Shu Xingyun nodded: "Well, what does grandma think?"
Mrs. Ma thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and guessed with some excitement: "Are you trying to say that this jade pendant was given to you by Zhi'er?"
Geshu Xingyun nodded.
Tian Ergen laughed and interjected: "Cousin, there is one more thing I have to tell you. You said Ma Xiaoquan is not your grandson. I checked again and asked Liu Yijing's son, eh
,Indeed, he is not~"
Geshu Xingyun and Geshu Liushui were stunned for a moment and looked at Tian Ergeng.
Tian Ergen smiled and said to the two of them: "I called you two here today because I wanted to talk about this. Why, don't you sound surprised?"
"Master Tian, if Ma Xiaoquan is not really the fourth master of Ma, then who is he?"
Tian Ergen laughed: "I have to ask my cousin."
Mrs. Ma didn't seem to tell Tian Ergen about Ma Xiaoquan's true identity. Although she was somewhat related to Tian Ergen, Mrs. Ma didn't believe that in Tian Ergen's character.
Mrs. Ma nodded and said: "It's not true, and it's very true. She just feels that my little grandson died unjustly. He was beaten to death by Liu Yijing's son for no reason. I can't swallow this tone."
Go down. So I want to trouble that old boy Liu Yijing and ask my little grandson for an explanation."
If Ma Xiaoquan had been present and heard Madam Ma's words, he would have retorted.
After all, the fact that Ma Si Shao was beaten to death by Liu Yijing's son was an emergency. Besides, even if you have to argue with others, Ma Si Shao played with Liu Yijing's concubine and cuckolded the old man.
To be honest, no man would be able to take this into consideration.
...
"So that's it..." Brother Geshu nodded and said, "It is said that the Ma family and Eunuch Wei are not on good terms, and Master Tian and Eunuch Wei have a very close relationship. We brothers originally thought that Master Tian also
It seems that we are not on good terms with the Ma family, and now it seems that this is not the case."
Tian Ergen laughed: "I don't have any grudge against the Ma family. We just have different opinions and don't seek each other's will. However, I have a good relationship with my cousin. After all, she is my cousin in terms of seniority."
"That's it~~" Brother Geshu nodded, then stood up and said politely, "Then there's nothing to do today, so we'll leave first."
"Okay~"
...
After Brother Geshu left, Mrs. Ma asked Tian Ergen: "Xiao Tian, is Brother Geshu reliable?"
Tian Ergeng said: "Cousin, don't tell me that this Geshu brother is quite capable. What should I say? Do you know what Ma Xiaoquan did when he went to Ningyuan?"
Mrs. Ma said: "Aren't you going to guard Ningyuan City with Ruiqing and the others? By the way, you can meet the families of the two granddaughter-in-laws. Why, isn't it right?"
"Haha, this is also a face thing that my cousin knows about. In fact, Ma Xiaoquan and Geshu brothers have met and dealt with each other. Cousin, I have something to ask you. Do you know Baiyi
Clan?"
Mrs. Ma was stunned and asked Tian Ergen: "How do you know about the Baiyi Clan?"
Tian Ergeng chuckled and said: "The concubine I married is from the Baiyi clan, oh no, she is half of the Baiyi clan, so I can get to know Brother Geshu."
Mrs. Ma thought for a moment and said, "So, Brother Geshu is from the Baiyi tribe?"
Tian Ergen nodded: "Yes, so, cousin, I suggest you take the time to meet those two boys."
Mrs. Ma nodded: "That's fine, Xiaotian, thank you."
Tian Ergen waved his hand: "Nowhere, without my cousin, I wouldn't be where I am today. Others think I am Eunuch Wei's lackey. I don't care, as long as my cousin knows what kind of person I am, but my cousin
Ah, I still don’t understand, since Ma Xiaoquan is not your little grandson, why do you keep him?”
Mrs. Ma sighed and said: "It's not that I want to keep him, it's just that if the Ma family is in the capital and there is no one, it will be really difficult to do things. Besides, he looks exactly like my dead grandson, and his body is the same.
The shape is exactly the same, even if I say he is not my grandson, who do you think would believe it?"
When Mrs. Ma returned home, it was already late at night.
When passing by Ma Xiaoquan's study, Mrs. Ma saw that the lights were still on, so she stepped forward, knocked on the door, and pushed in.
"Grandma, you are finally here."
Madam Ma nodded, closed the door, and said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Of course there is. What I don't understand is why grandma wrote to Ningyuan to tell them that I am not Ma Si Shao?"
Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "It has been a long time, and they have the right to know."
Ma Xiaoquan said unhappily: "Grandma, there are some things that I think are best kept hidden. I don't know what your purpose is in doing this, but don't you understand my mother... Oh no, you
Is she your daughter-in-law? She is a very good woman. During the days we spent together, I can see that she really loves her children. Have you ever considered her when you make your own decisions?"
