Summary of the previous chapter: The little girl Liu Xiangxiang made an agreement with Ma Xiaoquan, which made Ma Xiaoquan very helpless...
Liu Yijing nodded and said, "Oh, thank you very much, Guard Ma."
Li Qinghan also stood up: "I'll go too!"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Sister-in-law, please don't follow me."
Li Qinghan looked at Ma Xiaoquan and said firmly: "No, I want to go!"
Ma Xiaoquan: "...Okay"
At this moment, a burst of noisy shouting suddenly came from the door of Ma's house.
Mrs. Ma ordered Ma Tong: "Ma Tong, go and see who he is."
Ma Tong nodded and followed Ma Xiaoquan, Li Qinghan and Liu Yijing to the front door of Ma's house.
The door was open, and Liu Xiangxiang's little body stood upright guarding the door, her little arms stretched as hard as she could, as if she was blocking anyone from coming in.
Ma Xiaoquan walked over curiously and asked Liu Xiangxiang: "Sister Xiangxiang, what's wrong? Is anyone there?"
Liu Xiangxiang turned around and saw that it was Ma Xiaoquan. She nodded and responded: "Brother Quan, he is from the Zhang family. Humph, they broke off the engagement and still have the nerve to come. I won't let them in!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yijing quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Xiangxiang aside, scolding: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense."
Liu Xiangxiang pouted unhappily: "Grandpa, that's right. We all know about the Zhang family's divorce, why can't I say it?"
Liu Yijing smiled awkwardly at Ma Xiaoquan: "Guard Ma, I'm really sorry, this girl Xiangxiang is ignorant!"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Master Liu said something serious, it's all in the past, it doesn't matter anymore." With that, Ma Xiaoquan was about to close the door.
There was a "click" sound, and a green cane was pressed against the door, preventing Ma Xiaoquan from closing the door.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his head and took a look, and found a middle-aged man standing outside the door.
The man's appearance is very regular, one of the most popular faces in the Ming Dynasty. The man's figure is also very tall, nearly a head taller than Ma Xiaoquan.
Comparing Ma Xiaoquan's height of 1.78 meters, this man is at least two meters tall.
"Who are you......"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Quan'er, you don't even know Uncle Zhang anymore, do you?"
"Uncle Zhang?" Ma Xiaoquan turned to look at Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man: "Qinghan pays his respects to Mr. Zhang."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said with approval: "Qinghan, I haven't seen you for a while. Well, you are getting more and more beautiful..."
Li Qinghan smiled slightly: "Master Zhang is joking, Qinghan is getting older."
"Eh? Qinghan, don't say that, your father and I are old acquaintances. I know your age very well, Lao Zhang. You are still very young, haha... yes
Qinghan, what's wrong with Quan'er? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Li Qinghan glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "He is joking with you." As he said that, Li Qinghan pulled Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan understood, lowered his head and said to the middle-aged man: "Hey, Uncle Zhang, I was joking with you just now, don't mind..."
Just as the middle-aged man was about to speak, a cold snort suddenly came from behind him.
As the cold snort fell, a young woman walked out from behind the middle-aged man.
The woman was very beautiful, but she was still not as good as Li Qinghan. Ma Xiaoquan looked at her for a while and thought to herself: This woman looks very similar to that middle-aged man, so she should be the eldest lady of the Zhang family, right? But.
.....Didn’t the Zhang family break off the engagement? What are you doing? Do you want to turn back?
The woman moved lightly and walked slowly in front of Ma Xiaoquan. Without waiting for Ma Xiaoquan's consent, the woman stretched out her hand and patted Ma Xiaoquan's chest a few times, then returned to the middle-aged man.
"Dad," the woman said softly, "It feels different, it seems like it's not Ma Xiaoquan..."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard the woman's words, he said helplessly: "Hey, hey, what's different? If I'm the fake Ma Xiaoquan, can I still be fake? Sister-in-law, do you think I'm Ma Xiaoquan?"
Li Qinghan pursed his lips and said nothing. Not to mention the eldest lady of the Zhang family who felt something was wrong, even Li Qinghan felt that something was wrong with Ma Xiaoquan.
...
The middle-aged man chuckled, patted his daughter on the shoulder, and said to Ma Xiaoquan: "Quan'er, I'll come to Lao Zhang in person, and you're leaving me, Lao Zhang, outside the door?"
Ma Xiaoquan said oh and quickly moved out of the way.
The middle-aged man nodded and led his daughter into the door of Ma's house.
Inside the door, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Yijing and immediately laughed: "Mr. Liu, oh, we were drinking yesterday... Why, tell your granddaughter that you are here?"
Liu Yijing blushed and said, "Brother Zhang is here to kiss me, right?"
The middle-aged man laughed and did not answer.
...
In the main hall, Mrs. Ma had already ordered her servants to prepare everything. Although no one in the Ma family had finished their meal, there were guests coming, so the meal was put away first and then...
This guest is someone that no one in Beijing can afford to offend.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Tianhao, a well-known rich man in Beijing. No one knows how the Zhang family became prosperous. It is said that this family already existed in the late Han Dynasty.
"Mrs. Ma!" Zhang Tianhao bowed respectfully when he saw Mrs. Ma.
According to seniority, Mrs. Ma is one generation older than Zhang Tianhao, so Zhang Tianhao should be respectful to Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma nodded and said: "Tianhao, how is your mother?"
Zhang Tianhao nodded: "In reply to the old lady, my mother is very nice. She said she would come and chat with you another day."
"Okay, okay," Mrs. Ma said three times in a row. Ma Xiaoquan listened and felt a little strange.
"Sister-in-law" Ma Xiaoquan approached Li Qinghan and asked quietly, "Does grandma have a good relationship with the Zhang family's grandma?"
Li Qinghan rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan: "Are you talking nonsense? Grandma and the Zhang family's grandma are sisters."
"Ah? Sisters? Blood or cousin?"
Li Qinghan pondered for a moment and responded quietly: "Having the same mother and father, it should be a sign of affection."
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "It's just for show..."
Li Qinghan felt a little strange in his heart. Ma Xiaoquan should know these things logically, so why did he ask me? Huh, what is this bad guy planning?
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan really didn't know why he was pretending to be the fourth young master of the Ma family.
