The luggage was quickly packed.

If it weren't for a murder on the road, and the survivors were saved, they needed to treat the survivors' injuries and deal with inquiries from the government. How much luggage can be turned out in this night? Simply pack up and they're good to go.

Beizhuang is also more than ten miles away from Chang'an City, if you set off after lunch, it will be almost dark after entering the city. When they get back to their house, they have to pack their things and prepare dinner, and they have a lot to do. If you go back late, you will have to delay your night's rest, so it is better to leave early.

Ma left Cui Xiaodao to take care of the injured Jin Jiashu, and asked the people in the village to help with other chores, and left a sum of money, which was enough for the injured to treat the injured and take medicine and Cui Xiaodao's daily food, and then send someone to pick up Cui Xiaodao's shift.

Hai Xiya and Hai Chang'an had already ridden out of the village one step in advance, and went to the prefect's yamen with Zhuang Shitong and Geng Zehuai to deal with the murder case encountered yesterday. They want to provide testimony for the government as witnesses, and after the matter is over, Haixiya will go directly to Chang'an to report to the capital, and Hai Chang'an will go home to deal with housework and will not return to Beizhuang.

Ma had a little cold symptoms, took the pill and lay down for a while, feeling that his state was okay, so he urged his family to quickly load the luggage into the car, feed the horses, and prepare to go. Almost all the men in the family are gone, and the rest of Xie Wenzai and others can only be regarded as guest residents, and Haijiao is still young, so she has to take care of everyone as the housewife. Even if she was a little unwell, she didn't intend to waste time.

However, God didn't seem to plan to let her go.

She was just about to go out when the servant woman in the village hurriedly came to report to her: "Mrs. Auntie, Mrs. Emen is here." ”

Ma Shi was taken aback: "What did you say?" The eldest sister is in a hurry to see her, and it is the same to see each other when she returns to the city, why did she come so far? ”

She hurriedly greeted her, only to see that the eldest sister Zhou Ma had just entered the courtyard gate, and when she saw herself, she cried and pounced with red eyes: "Yumei! I miss my eldest sister! ”

Ma was hugged by the eldest sister and cried. Although she felt that her sisterhood was not bad, she ...... Were they so close before?

Ma had to hurriedly comfort the eldest sister, so that he could help the person into the house, and let Aunt Cui and the servants go to make tea. I wanted to go, but now I have to push it back.

Zhou Mashi also saw his sister at the first time, he was excited for a while, and after crying for a while, he calmed down, lowered his head and wiped his tears, looking like he was going to speak seriously. Ma Shi hurriedly gave Aunt Cui, who brought the tea, a look: "Go and call Baoshun and Tangtang to come and say hello to your aunt." "As for the Hu family and Xiaoshi's mother and son, they don't need to, they have already boarded the bus in the outer courtyard, why let Xiaoshi brave the cold wind to come back again? Zhou Ma is not their blood elder, in case the child catches a cold, it will not be good.

Aunt Cui retreated willingly, and soon found the two brothers and sisters of Haitang on the reef.

Haijiao didn't have a good impression of Zhou Ma's aunt and grandmother, and pouted: "Does her old man have such a deep sisterhood for grandma?" Unexpectedly came out of ten miles? In previous years, why didn't she write a few more letters to Ganzhou and Suzhou? If it weren't for this, his deceased father Hai Dingcheng would not have thought that his mother's brothers and sisters were all unreliable.

Haitang coughed lightly and pulled her brother's sleeve: "Let's go and say hello to the elders, and by the way, we can also inquire, why did my aunt make this trip?" ”

Aunt Cui also had to deliver a letter to the Hu mother and son who had already gotten into the carriage, and left in a hurry.

Haitang pulled her brother Haijiao back to the yard where she borrowed last night, and before she reached the door of the main house, she heard a strange female voice crying: "I don't know what to do, that woman is really too deceitful!" But because of filial piety, the lords didn't dare to say much, so they just blindly let them endure. E-she's been enduring it for decades, and everything else is fine, and she still wants a dowry now, which is absolutely impossible! E, who also has grandchildren, has all the family business in her hands, and has nothing left, and then gives up the dowry, what will happen when the children get married? ! ”

Haitang glanced at the reef and knew that this was the aunt Zhou Ma who had never met. But listening to the tone of her voice, she didn't have a good time at her mother-in-law's house, is this a conflict with her mother-in-law?

Ma is in her fifties, and her eldest sister is estimated to be sixty years old, but she has not yet obtained the power of the housekeeper, and can only rely on the dowry to ensure the marriage silver of her grandchildren. With this kind of glamorous life, how can Ma always say that the eldest sister marries decently and lives a comfortable life? Zhou Mashi slapped his swollen face in front of his little sister and became fat?

But in any case, this is not a good time for juniors to come in and say goodbye to the two sisters of Zhou Ma in the house.

Outside the door of the main house, there were Zhou Ma's maids and other servants' maids guarding the door, both of them secretly wiping tears while listening, obviously Zhou Ma's henchmen, and felt sad about what happened to her in-laws.

Haijiao grabbed his sister very brightly, and did not directly ask the maid to report, but temporarily retreated to the side and waited.

While the brother and sister waited, Zhou Ma continued to excitedly confide in his sister about his experience of being oppressed by his mother-in-law in her mother-in-law's house over the years. It is estimated that her emotions are a little out of control, and she feels that this is her own territory, and she doesn't need to be too careful, so she didn't lower her voice, and the two brothers and sisters who stood on the reef under the steps outside the house heard her words clearly.

Zhou Ma is married to Zhou Shigong, the fifth master of the Zhou family's third room, and Zhou Shigong filled the house. On Friday, his wife died in childbirth, leaving behind a young child. Zhou Ma, as the eldest daughter of the official eunuch family of Chang'an Mansion, although the official position of her father and brother is not high, but she has a good appearance and a healthy body, and she is also from the same family as Mrs. Ma, the stepmother of the fifth master, Mrs. Ma, who is in charge of the house, married Zhou Shigong to fill the house, and as soon as she enters the door, she has a fate, which can be said to be quite beautiful.

But in private, this scenery has a hardship that is not known to outsiders. In the past, Zhou Ma never mentioned it in front of her half-sister for the sake of her own face, but now, she can't hold on anymore. In order to keep the dowry in her hand, she had to take the initiative to expose her past lies and tell her little sister Ma Yumei the truth.

Although the stepmother-in-law, Mrs. Ma, claimed to be the aunt of their same clan, in fact, she was just an adopted daughter adopted by her aunt and grandmother, but she inherited the huge family property of her aunt and grandmother, who had no children all her life, and used her own order to suppress the Ma clan and make them obey their own arrangements.

Zhou Ma married into the Zhou family, and soon found that he had become a puppet of his stepmother-in-law, and he couldn't do anything. Although Mrs. Ma would not let her do anything to harm the children left in the front room, she always made her husband mistakenly think that she had bad intentions. The relationship between husband and wife has not been very harmonious, until the stepson grows up safely, gets married smoothly, and is not calculated by her in her career, and her husband believes in her personality.

In recent years, Zhou Ma's husband died, and his step-mother-in-law successfully entered the army, and his career overwhelmed his eldest brother, and his daughter married into the high gate of Beijing.

Zhou Ma cried: "That poisonous woman raised the old man and wasted him, ruined his good opportunities a few times, and the clansmen also accused the old man of being unfilial, and the husband and wife were wronged!" She has a son of her own, but she doesn't go to Lanzhou with her son, and her daughter marries into the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, and she wants to take her over several times, but she doesn't agree, and she wants to rely on the money of the forehead family to plot the forehead! ”

As soon as they heard the words Yingchuan Houfu, Haijiao Haitang immediately glanced at each other.
