Summary of the previous chapter: After being imprisoned for three days, Ma Xiaoquan finally obtained Mrs. Ma’s permission to leave the house...
"Eh? No, I thought there weren't many people in our Ma family. How come there are so many people after a long time of quarrel?"
Ma Tong chuckled: "Ma Zheng, the third generation head of the Ma family, once made a rule: everyone in the Ma family, no matter who they are, must eat in the main hall. This rule has lasted for more than a thousand years.
Years..."
"I'm a fool..." Ma Xiaoquan was startled, "Zheng'er, this stinky boy, can do it. No wonder our Ma family has been able to stand for a thousand years. Uh-huh, awesome, Zheng'er is really awesome...
..”
"Zheng'er?" Ma Tong looked at Ma Xiaoquan with some suspicion.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then started laughing and said: "Oh, I mean right, right, right, it means too awesome, hehe..."
Ma Tong didn't mind Ma Xiaoquan's poor explanation. After all... Ma Tong already knew Ma Xiaoquan's false identity.
"Fourth Young Master, where is your position..."
Ma Xiaoquan said "oh" and looked in the direction of Ma Tong's finger. He saw a cold and beautiful woman glaring at him fiercely, as if she wanted to bite him to death.
"Uncle...I'm sitting next to my sister-in-law? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Ma Tong chuckled: "Fourth Young Master, you usually clamor to sit next to the eldest young lady..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Oh oh oh, that's it, okay, then I'll go sit down, then I'll go sit down, hehe."
Ma Tong actually didn't finish what he said. Although the fourth young master in the past clamored to sit next to his sister-in-law, he always finished the meal with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
...
When he came to his seat, Ma Xiaoquan bared his teeth at his sister-in-law Li Qinghan: "Sister-in-law, how about lunch?"
"Huh!" Li Qinghan gave Ma Xiaoquan a beautiful head shake. Her long, black and beautiful hair, under the force of this shake, was like a soft ripple, shaking Ma Xiaoquan's heart.
They were grabbed at the same time.
Looking at his sister-in-law, Ma Xiaoquan seemed to see Hua Yuexin... saw Diao Chan... and saw Ming Yue Xin.
"Yue'er... Chan'er..." Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but call out softly.
This sound was so soft that no one else heard it except Li Qinghan who was very close.
Li Qinghan frowned slightly and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with his big watery eyes.
At this time, the expression on Ma Xiaoquan's face completely lost the frivolity it had just now, and was replaced by a look of longing.
Li Qinghan looked at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously. Although her expression was natural, her heart was beating.
Ever since this brother-in-law came back, Li Qinghan felt that something was wrong with him, not only in his words and actions, but also in his demeanor.
...
"Ahem!" Mrs. Ma's cough interrupted Li Qinghan's thoughts, and also interrupted Ma Xiaoquan's longing.
They both raised their heads and looked at Mrs. Ma who was sitting in the front seat.
"Everyone is here, okay, let's have dinner, Ma Tong, let's serve the food..."
Butler Ma Tong nodded slightly and shouted: "Serve"
The food was served very quickly, and within a short time everything was ready.
Although they were eating together, it was not a big meal. There was a five-course soup in front of Ma Xiaoquan, and there were only five people at the same table with him, including Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan secretly glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, quietly waiting for Ma Xiaoquan's next move.
Normally, Ma Xiaoquan would reach out to grab vegetables at this time, and what he got in exchange... was a pinch from his sister-in-law Li Qinghan.
For some reason, Li Qinghan was so excited now that she began to hope that Ma Xiaoquan would not take action first.
Ma Xiaoquan closed his eyes gently, smelled the food on the table carefully, and said: "Well, it's really good, come on, let's eat together, eat together...
"With that said, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for everyone at the table with him.
"Uh." The five people at the table couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Ma Xiaoquan's behavior.
"Eh? What are you doing standing there, eating... Hey, hey, look at what I'm doing. If you don't want to eat, I'll eat it first. You guys... pick up the chopsticks and eat.
"
Tudan made a sound, picked up the chopsticks with trembling hands, and was about to pick up the vegetables when Ma Xiaoquan suddenly asked: "Tudan, what are you most afraid of?"
Tudan said without thinking: "Ghost, female ghost"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "You idiot, there is one standing behind you."
"Ah?" Tudan was startled, dropped his chopsticks and stood up hastily. He looked back and saw nothing.
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan burst out laughing when he saw Tudan's frightened look.
Ma Xiaoquan's teasing made the five people at the same table shake their heads. It seems... the fourth young master is still the same dandy fourth young master. Hey, Li Qinghan frowned, just a little bit of longing that was not easy to build up.
, as Ma Xiaoquan played tricks on the idiot, everything fell apart all of a sudden, making Li Qinghan tremble with anger.
"Ma Xiaoquan, you bastard" Li Qinghan raised his hand and slapped Ma Xiaoquan on the head.
According to the past, with Li Qinghan's martial arts foundation and Ma Xiaoquan's lack of martial arts, there would definitely be a "pop" immediately, and then... there would be five more finger prints on the fourth young master Ma Xiaoquan's face.
But...this time, no one could hear the "pop".
Many people didn't see clearly why the eldest mistress was empty-handed. When everyone reacted, they only saw the fourth young master's hand holding the eldest mistress's hand.
"You" Li Qinghan withdrew his hand, stood up, and kicked Ma Xiaoquan straight in the butt.
Without thinking, Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand and pushed, easily pushing his sister-in-law's feet away.
Li Qinghan made a sound, his center of gravity became unstable, and he was pushed back to his seat by Ma Xiaoquan.
Not far away, Ma Tong and Mrs. Ma were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they nodded in tacit understanding.
"Madam..." Ma Tong whispered.
Mrs. Ma stretched out her hand and responded quietly: "I know, Ma Tong, bring him to me after dinner..."
Ma Tong hummed softly.
...
After lunch, Ma Xiaoquan simply tidied up and was about to go out when the housekeeper Ma Tong suddenly came.
"Oh, uncle Tong, what, is something wrong?"
Ma Tong nodded: "Fourth Young Master, where are you going?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I've been holding it in for three days. I'm going out to meet friends, hehe."
Ma Tong chuckled and said: "Fourth Young Master, Madam Ma, Madam Ma, has asked you to come over."
"Ah? You won't be locked up again, right?"
Ma Tong shook his head: "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, no, Madam has other matters..."
Ma Xiaoquan said, "Grandma called me, of course I have to go. Uncle Tong, I'll go right away."
Ma Tong nodded and followed Ma Xiaoquan quietly.
Arriving at the door of Mrs. Ma's room, Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. The door suddenly opened with a creak from the inside, and then, a rough palm hit his chest.
Ma Xiaoquan was startled and jumped one after another to avoid the slap.
I thought it was just one palm, but in fact, there was another palm after this one, and with the second palm, Ma Xiaoquan clearly saw that the person who sent the palm was Mrs. Ma.
"Grandma, you..."
Mrs. Ma didn't say a word, but struck Ma Xiaoquan one palm after another, and the direction of each slap was towards Ma Xiaoquan's fatal spot.
Ma Xiaoquan resisted for a few times, and his expression gradually became serious. Although he never fought back, his ability to resist Mrs. Ma was more than enough.
Suddenly, the housekeeper Ma Tong, who had not made any move until now, shouted "Take the attack!" and also attacked.
Ma Xiaoquan shivered all over and quickly turned around to face Ma Tong.
Facing the attacks from the left and right, Ma Xiaoquan fought with each other with both hands, resisting and retreating at the same time.
After retreating to the corner, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Wait a minute."
Mrs. Ma and Ma Tong had no intention of continuing to attack. Firstly, after Ma Xiaoquan retreated to the corner, they no longer had the advantage of attacking from the left and right. Secondly, the attacking attack just now was blocked by the opponent.
Ma Xiaoquan took a few breaths and gradually calmed down: "You...you all know?"
Mrs. Ma and Ma Tong nodded.
"Hey," Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Jiang is still old and hot. Well, to be honest, I am indeed the fake fourth young master of your Ma family."
Mrs. Ma was stunned. She didn't expect Ma Xiaoquan to admit his false identity so simply. She couldn't help asking: "Then why do you look exactly like my grandson..."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp: "Ask me this question, I still want to ask you..."
"Then how did my grandson die?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "Grandma Ma, to be honest, I saw your grandson's death..."
Mrs. Ma was obviously very excited when she heard this: "Quickly, tell me quickly, how did Quan'er die?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "I passed by the entrance of Yuelai Inn today and saw a group of people rushing out from inside. The leader had a birthmark on his face..."
"Birthmark?" Ma Tong blinked and said to Mrs. Ma, "Madam, could he be Liu Yijing's youngest son?"
Mrs. Ma waved her hand and signaled Ma Xiaoquan to continue.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "When the man with the birthmark on his face came out, he kept talking about what to do, what to do if he killed someone..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ma finally couldn't help crying.
Ma Tong hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma shook her head, choked with sobs and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Then who are you and where do you come from?"
