Hua Yue shook his head and said: "Tell me now, what's the use? Ma Zhi, it's all over..."
After saying this, Hua Yue turned around to leave.
"Yueer~~"
Hua Yue turned her head and looked at the man.
"I want to ask you, have you ever loved me?"
Hua Yue smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "I only liked you, but I will not love you. When I was jealous of Qinghan, I was just holding a breath of anger in my heart."
"Then do you love him?"
Hua Yue nodded very firmly: "Love!"
With a "pop" sound, the man slumped down on the stool, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know~"
Hua Yue glanced at the man, sighed softly, turned and left.
...
As the man watched Hua Yue go away, a feeling of unwillingness surged into his heart.
"Why, I have done so much for the Ma family, why...why is it me..."
At this moment, Geshu Xingyun and Geshu Liushui walked into the teahouse and walked up to the man.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
The man shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some past events."
Ge Shuxingyun said with some vigilance: "Does my brother-in-law want to meet people from the Ma family?"
"Haha, see you or not, there's no need."
Song Shuliu Shui said: "Brother-in-law, it's all over. Besides, Li Qinghan, whom you have been talking about all the time, is not in the capital."
"I know, but where did Li Qinghan go?"
Geshu Xingyun said: "Liu Shui and I went out to inquire. It is said that because of Ma Xiaoquan's mistake, his and Li Qinghan's son was killed. Li Qinghan suddenly ran away from home in anger."
"Son?" The man was stunned for a moment. Although he had just told Hua Yue that he was paying attention to the capital all the time, in fact, he only asked someone to inquire on his behalf. As for the news he heard, perhaps he was informed at that time.
I did some concealment.
Geshu Xingyun said: "Brother-in-law, do you still think about Li Qinghan? Have you forgotten the oath you made when you first joined the Geshu family?"
The man snorted coldly: "You don't need to remind me that I have done a lot for the Songs and Books family in these years."
"You~" Geshu Xingyun was about to speak again, but Geshu Liushui pulled him back and smoothed things over, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We are all a family. Why are we talking so much, brother-in-law?"
, things are in the past, and besides, you are in the Songs and Books family, and we don’t owe you anything. Although my father’s methods were a bit extreme at the beginning, there was nothing we could do about it. Who made my sister love you so much.”
The man gave a bitter smile and sighed: "That's all, don't tell me, well, I want to see my grandma."
The Geshu brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "This... I'm afraid it's not good, right?"
The man was a little angry and said: "How many years have passed, am I not even qualified to see my grandma? Do the Songs and Books family have to restrict all my freedoms? If so, I will probably die!"
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please calm down!" Brother Geshu stepped forward to persuade, "We didn't mean that, it's just brother-in-law. You have to promise us that you just want to see grandma."
"It's natural. Apart from grandma, is there anyone else in the Ma family in the capital that I should meet?"
...
Hua Yue returned home and was about to take off the human skin mask on her face when Ma Xiaoquan came in.
"Hmm? Yue'er? Are you going out to do errands?"
Hua Yue hummed, gently took off the mask, and soaked it in water.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy..."
Hua Yue looked at Ma Xiaoquan, thought for a while, and decided to tell him about her meeting with Ma Zhi.
"Ms. sir..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I...went out to buy clothes today..."
"Oh, I know, Xiaomei told me, but later you had something to do and went to the Chengxi Teahouse, right? Did the Hua family send someone to talk to you?"
Hua Yue shook her head.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Yue stepped forward, hugged Ma Xiaoquan gently, and said, "Ms. sir, I lied. I went to the teahouse in the west of the city today, but I didn't meet the clan members."
Ma Xiaoquan gently touched Hua Yue's long hair and said with a smile: "From the way you kept hesitating to speak, I have already guessed that it's okay. If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
"No, I have to say~" Hua Yue stood up straight, "The person I went to see is Ma Zhi."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned: "Ma Zhi? You mean, Ma Zhi, the eldest grandson of the Ma family?"
"Hmm~~" Hua Yue nodded, "It's him."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, shook his head and said, "Isn't that right? Isn't Ma Zhi already dead?"
"I also feel strange, but the person I saw was Ma Zhi. His appearance has not changed much from before."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, dragging his chin and not expressing his position.
Hua Yue went to see Ma Zhi, which means that Ma Zhi is not dead, but since Ma Zhi is not dead, how did he fake his death in the first place? Why did he do that?
Ma Xiaoquan also investigated the cause of Ma Zhi's death, but there was too little evidence. Although he had always suspected that Ma Zhi's death was strange, he put the matter aside due to the lack of evidence.
"So Ma Zhi, why did he appear suddenly?"
Hua Yue shook his head: "I don't know either. He wanted to tell me why he left in the first place and why he faked his death, but I didn't listen."
"Well, you should listen. You missed a good opportunity."
"Ah, then I'll go see him again and ask him."
"No... If you ask him now, he will definitely be suspicious. Forget it, don't ask. But I am very curious. Ma Zhi suddenly appeared in the capital, not just to see you, right?
"
Hua Yue nodded: "Ma Zhi and Qinghan used to..."
"I know this, but I don't know where Qinghan is right now. Even if Ma Zhi appears in front of me and confronts me, I can't answer him."
"Yes, that's right~ But my husband, I still hope that you will send someone to monitor him."
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and said: "Of course, it's just that Ma Zhi can see you. After he calms down, he will definitely think of me. Presumably his anti-reconnaissance methods are relatively sophisticated, so it is not that easy for me to monitor him."
"What should we do? What if he..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Ma Zhi cannot monitor, but there is one person we can monitor very well."
Hua Yue reacted: "Are you talking about grandma?"
"Well, yes, no matter what, if Ma Zhi suddenly appears in the capital, I don't believe he doesn't come to see grandma~"
