Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan temporarily stopped the attack on the Lu family's mansion because of the unstable Lan Ming Holy Flame in his body, and Ma Xiao, who was far away in Yecheng, died because Cao Pi ordered officials to bring their daughters and dependents to the funeral

++++++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiao knelt in front of the bed with a pout, quietly looking at his wife, who was already cold, and suddenly, a wave of hatred surged into his heart.

Diao Chan felt that something was wrong, stepped forward and hugged his son, and kept shaking his son: "Xiao'er, my mother doesn't allow you to be sad, my mother doesn't allow you to hate, have you forgotten what Jì Xiaoying said before leaving?" ”

Ma Xiao buried his head in his mother's arms and cried: "Mother, I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling."

Diao Chan turned his head and looked at Hua Yuexin, who nodded lightly and stepped forward to hug the two together.

"Xiao'er, Yue'er Niang promised you that she would definitely ask for an explanation for you, no matter what"

At night, Hua Yuexin nested alone in the room, pondered for a long time, and took out an oilcloth bag from a small box that she had never touched.

Carefully groping for the oilcloth bag, Hua Yue sighed heavily.

There was a creak, and the door opened. Hua Yuexin looked up and saw that it was Diao Chan and Ma Xiao's mother and son.

Hua Yuexin nodded and motioned for the two to sit down.

Ma Xiao saw the oilcloth bag in Hua Yuexin's hand, and couldn't help but be curious: "Yue'er Niang, what do you have in your hand?" ”

Hua Yuexin handed the oilcloth bag to Diao Chan and said, "This is a chronic poison prepared by my Hua family, I will give this to you now, how to use it, don't I need to say it?" ”

Ma Xiao nodded with red eyes, but Diao Chan shook his head and excused himself: "Madam, how long is the onset period of this chronic poison?" ”

Hua Yue thought for a moment: "If it's fast, it's five or six years, if it's slow, I don't know, but it's definitely not more than ten years." ”

Diao Chan nodded and carefully put away the oilcloth bag.

Ma Xiao knelt in front of Hua Yuexin with a puff, and kowtowed to Hua Yuexin a few times: "Yue'er Niang, Xiao'er thank you~"

Hua Yuexin helped Ma Xiao up and sighed: "Xiao'er, you are the head of the Ma family, your days will be long in the future, and the Ma family still needs you to control it, Yue'er Niang has no other requirements, I just hope that the Ma family will survive under your leadership." ”

Ma Xiao turned his head to look at his mother's sable cicada, then looked at Hua Yuexin, shook his head and said: "Niang (Diao Chan), Yue'er Niang, Xiaoying's death hit me hard, this head of the Ma family, I don't want to do it again?" ”

"Bastard thing!" Hua Yue's heart jumped and slapped Ma Xiao, "Why don't you do what you did well?" Can a woman knock you down like this? You're still not a man? How did your dad teach you? ”

Diao Chan is also very puzzled, his son is logically the best of the older brothers of the Ma family, and he is the head of the Ma family at a young age, why would he suddenly say that he does not want to be the head of the family anymore?

"Xiao'er, sue Sù Niang, why do you say that?" Diao Chan asked.

Ma Xiao smiled bitterly: "It's not time yet, mother, Yue'er mother, Xiao'er promised you, when Lu Xian's matter is completely over, Xiao'er will give you an explanation"

Hua Yuexin asked: "Xiao'er, even if you don't become the head of the family, you have to teach Kun'er (Ma Xiaoquan's second son) well." ”

Ma Xiao shook his head: "Yue'er Niang, the second brother is not suitable to be the next head of my Ma family." ”

"Presumptuous!" Hua Yuexin was a little annoyed and said, "The young and the old are orderly, since you don't want to do it, naturally Kun'er will take over." ”

Ma Xiao said: "Yue'er Niang, my next one should be the third brother." ”

When Hua Yuexin heard this, her head shook very much: "No, this beast doesn't know what's going on, his temperament has changed a lot recently, do you know how hard I, a mother, work hard to wipe his ass?" Now all the dignitaries and nobles in Yecheng are looking at my jokes, saying that I taught my own son to be like this? Xiao'er, your third brother looks like this, how can he be qualified to be the head of the family, no, absolutely not! ”

Ma Xiao smiled slightly and did not speak again.

Hua Yuexin saw that Ma Xiao didn't speak, and she felt a little helpless, although Ma Xiao was young, he was now the head of the Ma family, since the head of the family didn't speak, even if she was the housewife, it was not good to say anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Diao Chan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Madam, Xiao'er, I think this has been put in advance, and now the top priority we have to do, I think it should be to prevent Lu Xian from committing it, as for Xiaoying's death, it is much lighter than Lu Xian's matter." ”

Ma Xiao nodded: "Mother is right, Lu Xian has not appeared since he was repelled by me, and now no one knows what he is doing, he must be planning a bigger poisonous plan, mother, Yue'er Niang, we have to pay attention." ”

Hua Yuexin nodded: "Okay, even so, what about Xiaoying?" How exactly do we deal with Xiaoying's death? ”

Ma Xiao exhaled: "I'm ready to deal with it in a low-key manner, even if Xiaoying doesn't have Cao Pi, she will die soon, so I can't be too public."

Hua Yuexin sighed and shook her head: "It's really hard for you, okay, you are the head of the Ma family, we all listen to you." ”

A few days after Mrs. Xiaoying's death of Xiang Xiaoyu, Ma Xiao released the news of his wife's death.

Hearing the news of the death of the wife of the head of the Ma family, many dignitaries and nobles in Yecheng came to see the funeral on the same day, and by the way, they kissed their relatives.

Everyone knows that Ma Xiao is the current head of the Ma family, and the Ma family's influence in Yecheng is also very large, and several older brothers are all officials in the court, especially the head of the family, Ma Xiao, has the highest official position.

Such a large family, and a scholar clan, must be the key object of other scholar clans competing for relatives.

The news of Xiaoying's death also reached Cao Pi's ears, Cao Pi was very surprised, but he walked ten miles and gave General Guan a funeral, so he could die of exhaustion? If my father knew about this matter, he would definitely be scolded, no, I have to find a chance to go to the Ma family compound to have a look.

Cao Pi is an anxious person, and after thinking about it, he still decided that it was better to be sooner rather than later.

That night, Cao Pi went to the Ma family compound.

When Ma Xiao saw Cao Pi, he politely and politely greeted Cao Pi, and Ma Xiao did not mention the death of his beloved wife.

During this period, Diao Chan, as Ma Xiao's mother and Xiaoying's mother-in-law, personally came out and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Cao Pi and invited Cao Pi to drink, Cao Pi did not suspect it and drank the tea.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Cao Pi's originally guilty heart suddenly brightened.

"Haha Ma Xiao, this kid is a person who knows the times, um~~" Cao Pi felt a trace of guilt in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, the suppression of the Ma family will end here"

On the outskirts of Yecheng.

In the originally dark woods, a light suddenly flashed.

"Huhu~~" A few torches suddenly appeared.

A man slowly walked out of the torch light, and there was a deep scar on the man's face.

"The Master"

The man snorted coldly and said, "I heard that in the Ma family's compound, Ma Xiao's wife died?" ”

"Yes master!"

"Well, this is the best time for us to attack"

"The master is slow, Ma Xiao did not make a big deal about his wife's death, but was very low-key"

"Huh? Hmph~ It's kind of interesting, then okay, let's observe for a few more days, by the way, how is the news from Ryuuji's side? ”

"Back to the master, Ma Xiaoquan hasn't appeared again for more than a month?"

"More than a month? Hmm~~ What does this demon do? Could it be that he came back suddenly? Hmph~~ What about Mao Gang? ”

"Don't worry, the master, Mao Gang has already promised to help us, but Mao Gang asked the master to leave a person behind when he slaughtered the Ma family's compound."

"He wants to spend the moon heart, right? Okay, bring a message to him, I promised him first~ Well, there is also the matter of Nanyang County, give me more attention. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the man's words fell, all the torches were suddenly extinguished, and at that moment, a gentle breeze blew, and the trees rustled

Nanyang County, in the house where Ma Xiaoquan lives.

"Ah sneeze~~" Ma Xiaoquan sneezed, rubbed his shoulders, and said to himself: "The weather is much colder." ”

In his left eye, Yuan suddenly transmitted: "Ma Xiaoquan, I can feel that the Blue Ming Holy Flame in your body is much more obedient." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded in his heart: "Well, I can feel it too, but this Blue Ming Holy Flame is a very strange flame, and I always feel that it is difficult to control it."

Yuan Dao: "The Blue Ming Sacred Flame is the prototype of the black and white double fire, if you can't master it, then the black and white double fire can't be mastered either. ”

"Black and white?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, "Tomorrow, how can I do it if Brother Xin can't master the highest-level flame ability?" ”

"Alright, as long as you can find all the pieces of mine, you will definitely succeed."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and asked Yuan: "Yuan, you tell you the truth, how many of your broken fragments are scattered outside?" ”

"I don't know, but I can feel it."

"Hmm, okay~~ I don't want to do so much, um~~ Now that my Blue Flame has almost mastered, I should act again."

"Well, Ma Xiaoquan, I think with your ability, there is no need to hide it at all, you can enter the Lu family's mansion directly."

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Nanyang County is a peaceful place after all, my brazen invasion of the Lu family's mansion with such fanfare will definitely attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, although I don't care, but if the officers and soldiers move, they will inevitably disturb the people, and if Long Er jumps over the wall and hurts innocent people, it will definitely be difficult to do." ”

"Well, you have a point, okay, then do what you want."

"Hmm~~"
