Summary of the previous chapter: When the Ma family was in high spirits, the Lu family suddenly came to visit...
Mrs. Ma sighed helplessly and gently nodded Ma Xiaoquan's forehead.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and was about to say a few more words when he suddenly found his sister-in-law looking at him with wide eyes.
"Sister-in-law, are there flowers on my face?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"Ah? Ah?" Li Qinghan came to his senses, blushed, shook his head gently, and ran away.
...
In the main courtyard of the Ma family, there are five large boxes. It is still unknown what is contained in the boxes, but it can be seen from the expressions of the servants who came to carry the boxes from the Lu family that the boxes seem to be very heavy.
"Haha..." Mrs. Ma walked into the main courtyard with a smile. When she saw the big boxes placed in the courtyard, she said loudly, "Are the Lu family here to give money?"
"Haha..." A deep male voice came from the door of the courtyard, "Lingyue, you are still the same..."
Madam Ma frowned and shouted: "Lu Zhan, get out of here, did you just call me Lingyue?"
"Hey" after sighing, a white-haired old man slowly walked out from behind the door.
Ma Xiaoquan looked up and almost screamed.
The appearance of this old man is clearly that of an older version of Mr. Lu.
"Mr. Lu?" Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but say.
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and asked, "Do you know the ancestors of my Lu family?"
Ma Xiaoquan was convinced that more than his mother knew him, I personally killed Lu Xian.
"Oh, haha, I don't know him," Ma Xiaoquan lied.
The old man frowned slightly and said to Mrs. Ma, "Lingyue, is this kid the fourth young master of your Ma family?"
Madam Ma looked displeased: "Lu Zhan, if you have any trouble, hurry up and get out of here!"
The old man didn't seem to be angry because of Mrs. Ma's rudeness. Instead, he shook his head politely and said, "Lingyue, it's been so many years. Don't you still understand how I, Lu Zhan, feel about you?"
Mrs. Ma raised her head proudly: "Old man Lu, it's not that I look down on you. Although my old man is gone, he has always been the best in my heart. He was when he was young, he is now, and he will be the best after I die.
still"
As soon as Mrs. Ma said these words, the old man was a little embarrassed: "Yang Lingyue, don't be stubborn!"
Mrs. Ma chuckled: "Lu Zhan, I know that your Lu family is more powerful than my Ma family, but don't forget that I, Yang Lingyue, was the first-class imperial concubine appointed by Emperor Wanli himself, and your Lu family is the official
Even if you get up, you are not qualified to tell me what to do."
"You" the old man nodded with an angry smile, "Okay, very good, Lingyue, do you know why I love you? Just because of your persistence and domineering, I can't figure out why you chose Ma in the first place.
Wen that stick?"
"Lu Zhan, shut up! My man will not tolerate you speaking ill of him!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Then tell me, where did I, Lu Zhan, lose to him, Marvin?"
Madam Ma sneered and glared at the old man: "Lu Zhan, do you really want to know?"
"I must die with a clear conscience!"
Mrs. Ma said: "In terms of appearance, identity, and literary talent, my old man is actually not as good as you, Lu Zhan, but he has one thing that you don't have..."
The old man nodded: "I would like to hear the details!"
Madam Ma patted her chest: "Heart! Lu Zhan, did you have any feelings for me back then?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and shook his head gently.
"I see, Lingyue, tell the truth, if I, Lu Zhan, had fallen in love with you at that time, would you have married me?"
Madam Ma shook her head gently.
"Why? I'm determined, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Lu Zhan, it seems you still don't understand. Just having a heart is actually not enough... Pat your chest and ask yourself, how many women have you loved in your life, and how many women have you married?
How many women?”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Man, having three wives and four concubines is a normal thing. Lingyue, don't ask me, look at your son, has he also married several people?"
Wife, this left-behind boy in your family pointed at Ma Xiaoquan, wasn’t he also the son of the second wife?”
Mrs. Ma sighed: "Lu Zhan, my son, I don't tolerate you talking too much."
The old man chuckled: "Okay, I won't talk too much about your son. How dare you ask? How many wives will this left-behind boy of yours have in the future? As far as I know, this boy of yours is not very successful outside.
There are countless dandies who have been exposed, and there are countless young wives and young ladies who have been cheated by him..."
"Ah? Me?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at the old man with an innocent face and pointed at himself.
"Humph" Li Qinghan snorted coldly and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with disdain.
Ma Xiaoquan was extremely depressed. He thought to himself that ever since he became the fourth young master of the Ma family, he had been subjected to all kinds of looks. Not to mention, the sister-in-law in the family was looking at her all day long. It was simply torture. Hey,
If I hadn't set a rule for myself and stopped casually touching women of this era, not to mention the eldest sister-in-law, the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth sister-in-law would have been pushed to his mother's side.
"Lu Zhan, Quan'er is my grandson. It's not your turn to keep talking. However, your grandsons don't seem to be much better. Well, you came uninvited today and brought five big boxes with you.
But are you here to pay off your gambling debt?"
The old man laughed loudly: "Yang Lingyue is the right one. Yes, my grandson lost money, but he must not lose money to others. Three hundred taels of gold? Humph, if it is counted as silver, it is only three thousand taels. These three
My Lu family can afford a thousand taels! Someone, please open the box for me!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, dozens of servants accompanying him opened the five large boxes.
The moment he opened the box, there was a sudden light in the courtyard. Ma Xiaoquan felt a little irritated, so he slightly narrowed his eyes.
Mrs. Ma, Li Qinghan and the housekeepers Ma Tong and Ma Xiaoquan squinted their eyes.
Mrs. Ma calmly looked at the neatly arranged silver in the box and sneered: "Ma Tong, go over and check all the silver for me to prevent someone from adulterating the silver!"
"yes!"
The old man's face darkened and he said coldly: "Yang Lingyue, are you going a little too far?"
Mrs. Ma said disdainfully: "Excessive? Lu Zhan, I understand your thoughts very well. You came here today not just to give money, right? But also for my Ma family's Secret Book of Baiyi Clan?"
