Summary of the previous chapter: At the beginning of the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan, Long Er, and Lu Xian, who was far away on the outskirts of Yecheng, all started the final preparations...
Lu Xian nodded and asked, "Where is Yang Hu? How are his preparations at the Ma family compound?"
"Reply to the master, Yang Hu can't be found."
"Huh? Can't find it? Forget it, he is a dog anyway. Give me the order. Everyone has a good rest during the day. At night, I will slaughter the Ma family compound in one fell swoop."
"yes!"
...
While Lu Xian was recuperating, two women with cloths wrapped around their faces were welcomed into the Ma Family Courtyard in Yecheng.
As the head of the Ma family, Ma Xiao was curious as to why the two women had their faces wrapped in cloth strips, but he still treated them politely.
Behind the two girls was a boy. Based on the boy's size, Ma Xiao judged that the boy should be about eleven or twelve years old.
"Hao'er, raise your head"
The boy groaned and slowly raised his head, just in time to meet Ma Xiao's eyes.
"Huh?" The moment he saw the boy, Ma Xiao's heart suddenly moved. Why did the little boy in front of him look so much like a person?
"Excuse me..." Ma Xiao said politely, "Two aunts... two sisters, what do you want to do when you come to my Ma family compound?"
The two girls looked at each other, and then the taller girl said, "Are you the head of the Ma family?"
Ma Xiao nodded: "Exactly"
"That's strange. Isn't the head of the Ma family Ma Xiaoquan?"
Ma Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You are talking about my father, right? My father is now in Nanyang County..."
"Nanyang County? Okay, hey." The tall woman turned her head and glanced at the other woman behind her.
"You two sisters know my father?"
Just as the tall woman was about to speak again, the woman behind her suddenly stepped forward and said, "No, I don't know him, I just heard about it."
Ma Xiao groaned, but began to doubt in his heart. If there were two men in front of him, Ma Xiao would definitely not mind ordering someone to take them down, but... these were two women, and the one behind them
Little boy, why does he look so much like the same person?
Ma Xiao rubbed his temples. For a while, he couldn't remember who the little boy looked like, so he asked, "What do you want?"
"Well, yes"
Ma Xiao nodded, indicating please speak.
The slightly shorter woman said softly: "We rushed to Yecheng last night and met a man named Liang Long..."
"Liang Long?" Ma Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "You two, please follow me to the study..."
The two girls felt a little strange, but they still followed Ma Xiao to the study.
"Bang", after several people entered the study, Ma Xiao closed the door.
Before the two women could react, Ma Xiao immediately asked, "Uncle Long, what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know. When I arrived, he was already dying. He asked me to come to the Ma family compound to find the owner of the family and said that he had completed his final mission..."
Ma Xiao sighed and asked, "Did Uncle Long say anything else?"
The woman shook her head and said, "No more. Then I looked again and found that a total of four people died..."
"Four...hehe..." Ma Xiao slumped down and tears instantly poured out of his eyes.
When the little boy behind the woman saw Ma Xiao crying, he boldly stepped forward and wiped the tears from Ma Xiao's face with his hands.
Ma Xiao was a little surprised, but he actually let the child wipe his tears without moving.
"Brother, don't cry"
Ma Xiao forced out a smile, patted the boy's head gently, and asked, "What's your name?"
"I don't know, my mother calls me Hao'er..."
"Hao'er?" Ma Xiao chuckled, "What a good man! Huh?" Ma Xiao narrowed his eyes and suddenly saw three moles on the side of the boy's ears.
These three moles formed a triangle shape. Ma Xiao had only seen such moles on the side of his father Ma Xiaoquan's ears.
"Hao'er, come here." Ma Xiao pulled Hao'er closer, looked at it carefully, and suddenly thought of something.
"This child... this child... is he... is he..." Before Ma Xiao could finish his words, the study door suddenly creaked.
Pushed away.
Three women came in, one was Mrs. Mingyue Hua Yuexin, one was Ma Xiao's mother Diao Chan, and the other was Murong Ziyan.
"Yue'er Niang, Niang, Ba Niang..." Ma Xiao quickly stood up and bowed to the three girls to say hello.
Hua Yuexin smiled, nodded and asked: "Xiao'er, the servant just said that a visitor came to the house, and you showed me to the study...oh..." Diao Chan saw the two girls,
Seeing the two girls with strips of cloth wrapped around their faces, they couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are they you?"
The two girls bowed politely to Hua Yuexin and the others.
Murong Ziyan asked: "Why do you two cover your faces?"
Among the two women, the slightly shorter woman heard Murong Ziyan's words and looked up. Suddenly her body trembled and she quickly lowered her head.
"Eh?" Murong Ziyan turned to look at Hua Yuexin and Diao Chan.
Diao Chan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, eh? Is this your child? It's so cute, come here..." Diao Chan beckoned to the little boy.
wave.
The little boy turned to look at his mother. Seeing that her mother didn't respond, he boldly walked over by himself.
Diao Chan touched the little boy's head, nodded and praised: "What a handsome little guy, given time, he will definitely be a handsome man, eh? This is..." Diao Chan also saw the side of the little boy's ears.
Three moles.
"Mrs. Yue'er..." Diao Chan nodded to Hua Yuexin. Hua Yuexin stepped forward and looked at the direction of Diao Chan's finger, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Who are you?" Hua Yuexin asked.
The slightly taller woman said: "We are just passing through. We came because we were entrusted with something by a man named Diplodocus. Now that the matter has been resolved, we will leave." After that, the tall man said
The woman pulled the little boy over, nodded to the other woman, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Hua Yuexin stepped forward to stop the tall woman, "What does Ma Xiaoquan have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Hua Yuexin shook her head and said: "I don't believe it, please take off the cloth on your face and let me see!"
"Can't!"
Hua Yuexin snorted coldly: "If you don't dismantle it yourself, I will ask someone to dismantle it for you! Someone..."
"Mother Yue, wait a minute!" Ma Xiao stepped forward to stop her, "Mother Yue, I'm afraid this is biased."
Hua Yuexin sighed and looked at the little boy behind the two girls: "Okay, if you don't tell who it is, I won't let you go."
The little boy jumped out from behind the two girls, stood in front of Hua Yuexin and said, "Auntie...why don't you want us to leave?"
Hua Yuexin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Diao Chan and Murong Ziyan. Seeing them nodding towards her, Hua Yuexin turned around and asked, "This is Ma Xiaoquan's son, right?"
The tall woman was okay and didn't react at all, but the shorter woman took a step back obviously.
Hua Yuexin shook her head helplessly, gritted her teeth and said, "That bastard...it turns out there is a woman outside..."
When the atmosphere was awkward, a little girl of four or five years old suddenly jumped into the study room.
"Mom" the little girl called.
Murong Ziyan turned around and saw that it was her daughter.
