Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan regained the fragment, but lost two wives...
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I have an agreement with Zi Chen, the head of the Zi family, and they are here to keep the appointment."
"Promise?" Hua's father looked at Ma Xiaoquan in disbelief, "What agreement did you make?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's not talk about it for now. Father-in-law, please come with me to greet me."
Hua's father nodded. Even if Ma Xiaoquan didn't say anything, he would have gone out to greet him in person. The Zi family behaved very mysteriously and had always been the most low-key among the hidden wealthy families. Before Hua's father became the head of the Hua family,
He has always been very interested in the Zi family, but unfortunately the Zi family rarely interacts with other hidden wealthy families, so Father Hua has never found out any news.
This time the Zi family took the initiative to come to the door, and they also came to the door of their own son-in-law, so Hua's father was naturally very interested.
"Haha..." Before the two of them left the main hall, they heard laughter outside the door.
Father Hua couldn't help but frown. This laughter was so inappropriate at such a sad moment.
Ma Xiaoquan also had a displeased look on his face. The robbery of the Ma family compound had long been known inside and outside Ye City. With the ability of the Zi family, Ma Xiaoquan believed that Zi Chen had no reason not to know what happened to the Ma family.
Ma Xiaoquan strode forward and as soon as he met Zi Chen, the head of the Zi family, he said unhappily: "What does this mean, Master Zi?"
Zichen was stunned at first, and then looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise: "Are you Ma Xiaoquan?"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake!"
Next to Zichen, Zi Yuexin was also surprised. She had met Hua Yuexin before. Although Hua Yuexin was very beautiful and charming, the years still left traces on Hua Yuexin's face, and as Hua Yuexin
Her husband Ma Xiaoquan, Zi Yuexin could not see any traces of time on his face.
"Have you seen enough?" Ma Xiaoquan glared at Zi Yuexin impatiently.
Zi Yuexin's pretty face turned red, and then she realized that she was being rude, so she couldn't help but lower her head and hid behind Zi Chen.
Zichen chuckled, cupped his hands and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, if you are Ma Xiaoquan, then I really don't know."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't mean to blame Zichen. After all, the last time they met in Nanyang County, he had changed his appearance. It was not surprising that Zichen didn't recognize him.
"Did you come to your appointment?"
Zichen nodded and his face darkened: "Yes, I have been traveling day and night, and I just arrived in Yecheng today. I heard the people in Yecheng talking about what happened in the Ma Family Courtyard. I never believed it. Before entering the door just now,
I was still thinking that Master Shangxian was joking with me, but I didn’t expect...Hey."
The tone and expression of Zichen's words seemed very genuine, as if he really didn't know what was happening in the Ma family.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, he didn't mind whether Zichen was cheating or not.
"Since you are here, please ask Master Zi to offer incense to my wife."
Ma Xiaoquan's tone was obviously commanding. Zichen was stunned at first, and then nodded.
Entering the main hall, Zichen led Zi Yuexin forward and offered three sticks of incense to Hua Yuexin and Diao Chan each. What Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect was that Zi Yuexin knelt down in front of the two ladies' spirits with a pop.
, and kowtowed nine times.
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan was stunned.
Kowtow nine times, usually only done when newlyweds get married. Zi Yuexin's move was a way of expressing her stance.
Zichen took the initiative to step forward and explained in a low voice: "Master Shangxian, I know it is very inappropriate to do this at this time, but I have something to tell you. I hope you will be mentally prepared after listening to it. I am so
I do it for the Ma family."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Zichen came over and whispered: "The Crown Prince of Wei, Cao Pi..."
Listening to Zichen's retelling, Ma Xiaoquan's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
"Is this true?" Ma Xiaoquan asked Zichen.
Zichen nodded: "It's absolutely true, Master Shangxian, what should you do next?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and waved to the four eldest sons of the Ma family.
The four sons, Ma Xiao, Ma Kun, Ma Zheng and Ma Qiang, came over and looked at their father in confusion.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Ma Xiao asked.
"The four of you go to the study and wait for Father, who will be here soon."
The four sons looked at each other in confusion. Although they still wanted to ask questions, their father had said so and it must make sense, so they nodded and quietly retreated.
"Father-in-law, would you please go to the study together?"
Father Hua nodded and glanced at Zichen: "Okay"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zi Chen: "Master Zi, my father-in-law and my sons are together, do you have any objection?"
Zichen shook his head.
...
Fragrant tea was already prepared in the study. When Ma Xiaoquan led Zichen and Hua Fu into the study, the four brothers Ma Xiao stood up respectfully to greet them.
Zichen nodded with satisfaction and praised: "With these four sons in the Ma family, Master Shangxian, you are very successful."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I am not qualified as a father. The one who is qualified is their mother."
"Eh?" Zichen disagreed, "Anyway, a man must have his father's influence when he grows up. If his mother brought him up, he is not a man!"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, this Zichen is quite good at talking...
Father Hua said: "Master Zi, may I ask if you have an agreement with my virtuous son-in-law?"
Zichen glanced at Hua's father and said with a smile: "Are you Hua Zhengming? Well, you are indeed a talented person. You gave birth to a good daughter."
Father Hua nodded and hummed respectfully, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Zichen patted Hua's father on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be sad. Why am I a generation older than you? Your father Hua Yixi and I have quite a friendship, haha."
Father Hua was stunned for a moment: "Senior Zi is very familiar with my father?"
Zichen laughed: "That old immortal must still be alive, right?"
Father Hua blushed and nodded.
"Haha... I'm just saying, I, Zichen, am not dead, how dare that old guy die? Go back and give that old guy of yours a message, saying that I, Zichen, have a drink with him when I have time, damn it
..."
As soon as Zichen finished speaking, the study door was kicked open with a bang from outside.
"Zi Chen, you immortal thing, I have lived much longer than you!"
In the study, several people were stunned at the same time, and then, a tall and thin figure hunched into the study.
"Dad?" Hua's father shouted in surprise.
"Mr. Hua?" Ma Xiaoquan was also surprised.
"Grandpa?" The four sons of the Ma family were also very surprised.
The person who came in was none other than the previous head of the Hua family, Hua Yixi.
Hua Yixi is still as tall as before, but much thinner than when Ma Xiaoquan met him a few years ago.
Hua Yixi nodded and shouted to Ma Xiaoquan: "You brat, what are you pretending to be? Come here and find me a seat!"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, smiled, and quickly found the biggest seat for Mr. Hua.
After Ma Xiaoquan married Hua Yuexin, he secretly visited Hua Yixi and told Hua Yixi his true age.
After Hua Yixi knew that Ma Xiaoquan was also a "human", she secretly regretted that such a good granddaughter of hers was abducted by a brat. For this reason, Hua Yixi was like this every time she saw Ma Xiaoquan.
A scolding. However... Hua Yixi never mentioned Ma Xiaoquan's true identity to anyone.
Hua's father was very curious when he saw Ma Xiaoquan's respectful look on his father's face. His son-in-law was of high status, rich and capable, and he was also a "Shangxian". He had to be quite polite when talking to his son-in-law.
, why does dad greet his grandson-in-law with a bad face every time he sees him?
"Well, that's about right!" Hua Yixi sat down on her buttocks, her sitting height was almost the same as Ma Xiaoquan's standing height.
Zichen was also very surprised. Not to mention how the old guy Hua Yixi appeared, just the way he looked in front of Ma Xiaoquan made Zichen very puzzled.
"You four little bastards, come here!" Hua Yixi waved to the four sons of the Ma family.
The fourth son of the Ma family visibly swallowed his saliva, stepped forward bravely, knelt in front of Hua Yixi, kowtowed three times, and said respectfully: "My grandson, please pay your respects to your great-grandfather."
Hua Yixi squinted her eyes and said, "Xiao'er, Zheng'er, you two, raise your heads!"
Ma Xiao and Ma Zheng raised their heads and looked at Hua Yixi with some horror.
"Old man, I know your mother is gone, but you are men, and this study is full of men. If you are a man, don't be so sad. You are still young, and there is still a long way to go... huh? Kun'er Qiang
Son, what are you two little bastards doing? Kneel down!"
Ma Kun and Ma Qiang had grimaces on their faces. They thought they would be fine if they came over to say hello. Unexpectedly, they were scolded by their great-grandfather. Ma Xiaoquan scolded him. He stepped forward and said, "Old man, you look so sad today."
days..."
Hua Yixi suddenly stood up and slapped Ma Xiaoquan on the head. Ma Xiaoquan shrank his head, and a strong wind suddenly blew over his head.
"Woo..." At this moment, a flame suddenly burst out from Ma Xiaoquan's neck, and then, a woman-like flame girl came out from the back of Ma Xiaoquan's neck.
As soon as the flame girl emerged, she immediately waved her fire claws to grab Hua Yixi.
"Xiaoshuang, stop!"
"Woo..." In mid-air, the flame girl stopped in confusion and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "He is my old man, my wife's grandfather."
Xiaoshuang nodded very humanely, and the originally light blue flame body suddenly turned into turquoise.
"Huh?" Hua Yixi raised her head and looked at the flame girl Xiaoshuang. The old man was well-informed. Hua Yixi didn't pay much attention to Xiaoshuang's sudden appearance, but Xiaoshuang's original color changed from light blue to turquoise.
