Summary of the previous chapter: Murong Ziyan disliked the bad taste of the beauty formula, so she never tried it. Regarding this, Mao San and Mao Gang colluded and came up with a trick. They wrote a secret letter to Liu Miao, asking her to
Liu Miao came uninvited and indirectly humiliated Murong Ziyan. Afterwards, Mao San took advantage of Murong Ziyan's depressed mood and successfully made Murong Ziyan swallow the beauty formula...
Mao San walked up to Murong Ziyan who had fainted with a smile, gently touched Murong Ziyan's face, pursed her lips and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a beautiful girl is about to become my
Doll, haha..." As he said that, Mao San stood up Murong Ziyan...
When Murong Ziyan woke up, she found herself in a small iron cage.
Murong Ziyan felt something was wrong and shouted quickly: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, is there anyone?"
On the other side of a thick wall, Mao San was carefully pouring wine for Mao Gang. When he heard Murong Ziyan's shouting, he said nervously: "Master, if Murong girl shouts so loudly, will it be revealed?"
Going out?"
Mao Gang laughed: "No, I dug this basement secretly for several months after returning to the Ma family compound. The sound insulation effect is very good, no one on the ground can hear it...
..The key is, this basement is in my bedroom, who dares to come in without my permission?"
Mao San snorted, still a little worried: "Uncle, why don't you get Miss Murong out? Why don't you feel unsafe in this Ma's courtyard?"
Mao Gang shook his head: "You are wrong. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If I transport Murong Ziyan out, the news will definitely leak out. On the contrary, it is far away and close at hand. Even if Cao Cao comes,
I wouldn’t have thought of it…”
As soon as Mao Gang said this, Mao San finally felt at ease, and then he began to flatter Mao Gang for his wisdom and martial prowess.
Mao Gang waved his hand and asked Mao San: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. When are you going to take action?"
Mao San thought for a while and said: "Uncle, I want to let it go for half a month. During this half month, Murong Ziyan's mentality will collapse!"
"Psychological breakdown? What to do?"
Mao San chuckled: "I'll give her food and drink every day, and won't let her go out. She'll just stay in this basement for half a month."
Mao Gangyi laughed and said, "Well, you Mao San, you guy, are you going to make me sit on pins and needles by doing this?"
Mao San blushed and said: "Uncle... I don't think Murong Ziyan can be killed soon..."
"Why?"
Mao San glanced at Mao Gang and said boldly: "Uncle, there is something that I have always wanted to say, but I dare not say it."
"explain!"
Mao San swallowed: "Uncle, are you... right... mistress refers to Hua Yuexin, Mao San is a servant, and calls Hua Yuexin mistress."
"Huh?" Mao Gang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Mao San, "What are you talking about?"
Mao San knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Uncle, I'm too talkative, I'm too talkative..." As Mao San said, he slapped himself hard.
"Okay!" Mao Gang stopped him impatiently, "Get up!"
Mao San covered his red face and stood up, looking at Mao Gang in horror.
Mao Gang shook his head and said hehe: "Mao San, there are some things that you know and I know, and that's fine. Do you understand?"
Mao San nodded desperately: "Ming...I understand, uncle..."
Mao Gang stood up, nodded, and patted Mao San on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll leave Murong Ziyan's affairs to you. I'll do the rest of the wiping of your butt for you, but
...When you decide to kill Murong Ziyan, you have to make me clean and beautiful, do you understand?"
Mao San said respectfully: "Don't worry, uncle, the little one will definitely do it beautifully and cleanly."
The corner of Mao Gang's mouth raised slightly, and he turned around and walked out of the basement. The moment the secret door of the basement opened, a hint of cold murderous intent was revealed in Mao Gang's eyes.
...
The next day at lunch, the servants suddenly reported to Hua Yuexin that the Eighth Lady was missing.
Hua Yuexin was horrified and cursed: "You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The servant knelt on the ground, his body trembling and said: "Madam, the Eighth Lady is in a bad mood these days, and she doesn't want the slaves to disturb her, so she only dares to call the Eighth Lady during lunch..."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuexin asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
"I don't know!"
Hua Yuexin was very angry. She stepped forward and slapped her: "You bastard, how do you serve your master?"
Diao Chan stepped forward and hugged Hua Yuexin, comforting her and saying, "Madam, calm down, Madam, calm down... Sister Zi Yan's bad mood may be caused by Liu Miao's harassment last time..."
Hua Yuexin was stunned for a moment, and then said with some regret: "It's all my fault. After Liu Miao came to disturb me last time, I have been busy taking care of family affairs. It's my fault. I ignored the feelings of Zi Yan.
ah......"
Hua Lin stepped forward, hugged her sister and said, "Sister, I don't blame you for this. If you want to blame me, blame that bad guy!"
Ling'er also stepped forward and cried: "Sister Yue'er, Lin'er is right. If you want to blame it, it's that bad guy. It's been so long and there's been no news about him..."
...
"A sneeze...A sneeze, sneeze..."
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his nose, curled his lips, and said to himself angrily: "Damn, who is scolding me? It's too much, it must be a group of people scolding me!"
Next to Ma Xiaoshen, a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old raised his head and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and smiled slightly: "You brat, I guess your mothers are talking about me. Let's go, let's go home. You brat, you have been wandering around for the past two years. You were fourteen years old, but now you look like fifteen or sixteen
Years old, your mother will probably be heartbroken when you get home?"
"Dad, I don't want to go home."
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise, "What's wrong? I finally caught you here in Yuyang, but you still don't want to go back to Yecheng. What's wrong? You don't miss your mother?"
"No, dad, you've seen it too, right? That Mao Gang has been secretly searching for your treasures. I don't want to expose myself so quickly."
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Dad, if you don't care about the family business in the future, are you going to give the position of head of the family to your brother?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's right! Zheng'er, do you have any opinions?"
"No! I don't want my brother to encounter a tough guy like Mao Gang when he becomes the head of the family. I want to help my brother get rid of this tough guy."
"Oh! Boy, look at you at such a young age, and you still have such awareness. Yes, yes, you are worthy of being my son, Ma Xiaoquan, haha... Well, if not, let's sneak back to Yecheng secretly
In Ma's courtyard, you and your mother can meet secretly, so as not to worry your mother!"
"Um!"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at his son with a smile and couldn't help but think of the scene when he met his son before:
It is said that after Ma Xiaoquan was kicked out of the Ma family compound by his wife Hua Yuexin, he really searched for his son carefully.
Although he was aimless, Ma Xiaoquan had a feeling that his son must still be alive and well.
After wandering around like a headless fly for a month, Ma Xiaoquan decided to go to Yuyang to have a look. Firstly, Yuyang has his newly settled Ma's Manor. Secondly, Ma Xiaoquan felt that his son was likely to go to Yuyang.
.
After arriving in Yuyang, Ma Xiaoquan immediately went to see the garrison of Yuyang County.
The guard general of Yuyang County knew Ma Xiaoquan and was very enthusiastic when he saw Master Shangxian coming in person. He held a banquet in honor of Ma Xiaoquan that night.
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went to the Ma's Manor in Yuyang to "inspect". It was at this time that Ma Zheng, who had been hiding in the dark, saw his father.
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan declined the invitation of the Yuyang Guardsman to a night banquet and came to the manor alone to have a rest. It was here that Ma Xiaoquan met his son.
The meeting between father and son was not as touching as it was portrayed on TV. Of course, there was no TV in the era in which Ma Xiaoquan lived.
After not seeing his son for almost two years, Ma Xiaoquan just nodded lightly and asked, "How about being outside?"
Ma Zheng also nodded: "Everything is fine!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "That's good!"
In the next few days, Ma Xiao spent all his time talking to his son, asking him what happened and what he had experienced in the past two years.
Ma Zheng did not hide anything from his father. He told his father the story of how he was rescued by Wang Dali and how he teamed up with Wang Dali. At the end, Ma Zheng mentioned the story that Mao Gang was hiding in Yuyang.
wealth.
Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised after hearing this. His master, Huang Shigong, had also said before that he should beware of Mao Gang, but now his son has discovered that Mao Gang is fishy. It seems that Mao Gang is really the "outlaw" written in Ma Xiaoquan's family tree.
It's just that... it was not the eldest son Ma Xiao who finally calmed down the Ma family's crisis, but Ma Zheng, and there are records of the second-generation head of the family being also Ma Zheng.
Ma Xiaoquan was very confused as to why the head of the family changed from Ma Xiao to Ma Zheng because of Mao Gang. It wasn't that Ma Xiaoquan was partial to anyone, he just didn't understand why it happened like this. Isn't Ma Xiao suitable to be the head of the family? In other words,
Will Ma Xiao, Ma Zheng and the other brothers kill each other?
For this reason... Ma Xiaoquan secretly asked Yuan, and Yuan's answer was history. It will always be history, and no one can change it.
This is not the answer Ma Xiaoquan wants, but it is also not the conclusion Ma Xiaoquan does not want to get.
Helplessly, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to endure this unwillingness. He will only know everything after he has finished his pace in this era...
"Dad...dad?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, came back to his senses, and laughed.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you miss your mother?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and nodded: "Forget it, Zheng'er, dad doesn't plan to go back to Yecheng!"
"Why?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Dad has his own things to do!"
"Oh! Okay then, I'll go back to Yecheng by myself!"
