Xijing East City Shilipu, Chen's family.

Because of the common hatred of the three Chen Xiaoyu brothers and sisters, the atmosphere in the entire living room became extremely embarrassing for a while.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Cough...... Young Master Ma, let you laugh!" Chen Yifu's face was pale and frightening, and he coughed continuously, obviously angry by his several grandchildren.

Ma Jiahan's eyes couldn't help but show a little annoyance, he came to the Chen family this time, just because he was sure that Chen Yifu would inevitably protect his eldest grandson Chen Ruofeng, and he wanted to take this opportunity to force Chen Xiaoyu to marry him, but it wasn't Chen Yifu's words?

Unexpectedly, the three juniors didn't give face to their families at all, and embarrassed themselves so much on the spot.

"Hmph! Young Master Ben is completely kind, since you don't appreciate it, our Ma family is too lazy to wade into this troubled water, you just wait to collect Chen Ruofeng's body! How can the anger of the big people in the imperial capital be so easy to calm down?"

"Ahem...... Cough...... Young Master Ma, in addition to marriage...... Cough...... Is there still ...... What else?"

"Hmph, yes!" Ma Jiahan snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said in a strange manner.

"Well...... Cough...... Tell me about it!"

"Simple! Old man Chen, haven't you heard a sentence called 'If you don't go to the imperial capital, you will never know that you are a small official'? The emperor has more big people with heads and faces, if you really have the ability, you can go and recognize a cadre at will, as long as they are big enough, they will also know the difficulties and retreat!"

"This ......" Chen Yifu was speechless for a while, if the Chen family can really climb the relationship and background of the gods, do you still need to be low here, listen to a junior of your Ma family?

Although the Chen family is among the four major families in Xijing, they have made a fortune by doing business for several generations, and there are no family members who have taken a career in politics, and the families in the northwest region have a characteristic, that is, the homeland is difficult to leave, the roots of the Chen family are in Xijing, and the soul is in Xijing.

The Ma family is different.

The Ma family is a political family, and unlike the other three major families in Xijing, they are not local natives, but a branch of the Ma family in the imperial capital.

Thinking back then, Ma Zhansheng, who was still in his youth, is now at the helm of the Ma family in Xijing, and in response to the call of the great man to 'go to the mountains and go to the countryside and build the great northwest', he followed the team of educated youths to a loess plateau called Tongguan in the north of Xijing, and followed the working people to face the loess with their backs to the sky, and planted crops for more than ten years.

After that turbulent period ended, he did not return to his hometown with other educated youths, because he married a beautiful girl from Xijing City, and the two already had a six or seven-year-old son.

Ma Zhansheng ignored the repeated urging of several elders in the imperial capital, and finally chose to accompany the girl and his son and stayed in the city of Xijing.

Fortunately, the weight of the Ma family in the imperial capital is okay, and he has been promoted from a small township secretary all the way to the second-in-command of Xijing City all the way over the years, and in this position, he stayed until he retired a few years ago, and he has been doing it for fifteen years.

In the past fifteen years, Ma Zhansheng relied on the care of the Ma family in the imperial capital, called for wind and rain in the officialdom of Xijing, and did whatever he wanted, establishing the intertwined Ma faction.

Although he has long since retired, his eldest son Ma Yongsheng and second son Ma Yongwei have all been promoted to deputy department-level cadres, and even the youngest daughter Ma Yinglian, who is less than forty years old, has reached the bureau level, and they are all real power departments in Xijing City.

With the support of the prominent Ma family in the imperial capital, and the hard work of his own ten years, it can even be said that the Ma family occupies fifty percent of the political wind in Xijing.

This is also why, Chen Yifu, the head of a family, has to maintain enough politeness to a yellow-haired boy of the third generation of the Ma family.

Shang does not fight with officials, this is the earnest teaching left by the ancestors of the Chen family.

"Dad, you have to call the shots for Ruofeng......! You must save him, if the wind can't be saved, I don't want to live......!

A middle-aged woman with red eyes and messy hair rushed in from outside the door while crying and shouting.

She ran to Chen Yifu's seat, and without saying a word, she fell to her knees with a "poof", and slammed her head on the floor for a long time, lying down and crying.

"Ruofeng is the eldest grandson of the Chen family, Dad!"

"Chen Wen left early, leaving Ruofeng as a lone seedling, Dad, you can't see death without help, we orphans and widows are all counting on you......"

Chen Yifu's face instantly turned pale, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Ahem...... Liangmei, what are you doing! Don't you see the young master of the Ma family here? Ahem...... Look at the way you look, what kind of system you have become!"

The two brothers, Chen Bin and Chen Qiang, glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this, our family meeting today is to discuss Ruofeng's affairs, as long as there is a little hope, we will do our best, don't worry!" Chen Qiang stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to help Wei Liangmei up.

Who knew that her body was like she was glued to the ground, and she refused to get up.

"I heard it just now, as long as Xiaoyu agrees to marry Ma Gongzi, my family will be safe if the wind blows, Ma Gongzi, you said this, right?"

Ma Jiahan smiled "haha" and said, "That's right, of course it was Ben Gongzi who said it!"

Chen Xiaoyu frowned, ignored Chen Xue's obstruction, stood up a few steps and walked in front of Wei Liangmei, and said angrily: "What do you mean, aunt? Do you want to use my marriage as a bargaining chip? In exchange for your son's temporary peace? Since he was a child, how many times have we helped him wipe his buttocks? Which time did he say a word of thanks? Do we really owe you both a word?"

"Xiaoyu, aunt beg, aunt beg, okay? Ma Gongzi's family background is prominent, how many girls want to rush up when they break their scalps, he can take a fancy to you, that's a kind of honor for you! You should save you Brother Ruofeng for the last time, the last time, okay?"

Wei Liangmei raised her head, hugged Chen Xiaoyu's legs, and said pleadingly.

Ma Jiahan nodded again and again on the side: "Yes! Yes! Xiaoyu, what your aunt said is right! Follow me, you are definitely not wronged! Now the only one who can save Chen Ruofeng is our Ma family, if you don't agree, it is equivalent to you cutting off his life with your own hands?"

"Ma Jiahan, shut up for me!" Chen Xiaoyu felt that the suppressed anger in his heart was about to explode.

"Xiaoyu, aunt is such a son as Ruofeng, he wants to have three long and two short, how do you tell me to live...... Sooner or later, girls are going to get married, what's wrong with you marrying Ma Gongzi? Auntie kowtow to you, you save my son!"

Seeing that Wei Liangmei had actually lost her heart to such an extent, Chen Xiaoyu was speechless angrily, stretched out her finger and pointed at her angrily: "Auntie, you ...... You...... Your son is the most precious? I, Chen Xiaoyu, deserve to sacrifice my happiness? Why? If you hadn't spoiled him so much since you were a child, if the wind would have turned into such a puddle of mud as it is today?"

"That's enough!" Chen Yifu shouted angrily, "When the family is not dead! cough ...... Cough...... Do you remember your surname Chen? I promised the Ma family, cough ...... Chen Xiaoyu...... Cough...... Marry you...... Ma Gongzi, go back and prepare for the dowry!"

"What right do you have to decide my marriage?

"Ahem...... Chen Bin, take your daughter down, and from now on, she will be grounded and not allowed to go out! cough ...... Cough...... When will you figure it out, when will you regain your freedom!"

"I don't accept it! Why!" Chen Xiaoyu felt that the blood all over his body felt as if it was about to burn, humiliated and helpless.

"Ahem...... Cough ...... It's until you ...... served" Chen Yifu waved his hand a little tiredly, signaling that today's meeting would end here.

Ma Jiahan happily got up and said goodbye: "Haha! Old man Chen is really courageous, rest assured! Our Ma family will definitely come up with the most sincere dowry, you just wait and see! Haha......"

"Ma Gongzi, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to prepare for the dowry!" An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the living room.

"Who are you?"

In an instant, the old and young of the Chen family, Ma Jiahan and Wei Liangmei couldn't help but look a little strange at a handsome man who quietly appeared in front of them like a ghost, and asked in unison.

Only Chen Xiaoyu, who had been rolling in her eyes and holding back the tears, could no longer control it the moment she saw the man, and she slipped down in an instant along her smiling face like a flower......
