On the second day, after watching Zhao Aman go to Zhang's house, Mrs. Ma was about to get up to go to Linglongzhai, when she bumped into Zhou Pin head-on.

Mrs. Ma knew that Zhou Pin was the master invited by Wang Qi to teach Ah Man Kungfu. He heard that this man was from Shuzhong in the southwest. Because he saved the life of Dong Jue's elder brother Dong Chen, he was invited to Pingyao County as a guest.When Ah Man followed Wang Qi to Lanyuan, he saw that he was very good at martial arts, so he worshiped him as a teacher.

In fact, Mrs. Ma didn't want Zhao Ah'man to practice martial arts, and instinctively rejected people with unknown origins like Zhou Pin.But seeing that he had nothing to do with the capital, and Zhao Aman didn't delay his serious homework, besides, practicing martial arts would help strengthen his body, so Granny Ma didn't stop him.

Although she has always known this person, Mrs. Ma only came into contact with Zhou Pin after Zhao Aman moved to the courtyard.It is said that in order to teach Zhao Aman how to practice martial arts, he purposely rented a house nearby.From this point of view, Zhou Pin still has a lot of heart for Zhao Aman.Mrs. Ma was quite upset, why the people who were nice to Zhao Aman were all related to Wang Qi.

"Hello, Granny Ma." Zhou Pin greeted her respectfully, "Are you going to Linglongzhai?"

Seeing Zhou Pin opened his mouth, Mrs. Ma greeted with a smile: "Yes, why is Master Zhou here at this time? Ah Man has already gone to Zhang's house."

"I see the carriage has sent Ah Man away." Zhou Pin said, "How do you go to Linglongzhai?"

Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "It's close, just a few steps away."

"Don't be so troublesome. I'm going to do business near Linglongzhai. I've already hired a car. Let me take you there." Zhou Pin said, "I happen to have something to ask you about Ah Man."

After all, Zhao Aman had been with Zhou Pin for a long time, and she was afraid that he would know something, so Granny Ma immediately became alert, so she didn't refuse, and thanked, "Then I will trouble you."

Helping Mrs. Ma into the carriage, Zhou Pin casually chatted with her, but never mentioned anything about Zhao Aman.Although Pozi Ma had doubts in her heart, she was afraid that she would show her feet if she could not hold back, so she didn't urge her.

When the carriage stopped, Zhou Pin said with a smile: "We are here."

Mrs. Ma got out of the car and saw that this was not Linglongzhai, but a teahouse nearby, across the street from Linglongzhai.

"Grandma Ma, I have a friend who is an old friend of yours, so I take the liberty to invite you to meet me." Seeing Mrs. Ma's puzzled and wary face, Zhou Pin smiled and said.

Zhou Pin's concealment and ambiguity made Mrs. Ma even more wary of him. She said calmly, "Old friend? Hero Zhou was joking. The old woman is an ordinary woman with no relatives or family history. Where can there be any old friends?"

"You don't have to worry, this place is very close to Linglongzhai, nothing will happen." Zhou Pin comforted with a smile: "If you are worried, I will invite the person down first. After meeting the person, you can decide whether to go up or not." .”

Anyway, he couldn't leave, but fortunately Zhou Pin's words were to the point, so Mrs. Ma didn't refuse, and simply said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhou."

The lady Fuma sat down on an empty bench, and Zhou Pin went upstairs.After a while, he led a man wearing a bamboo hat down.

"Aunt Ma, do you still remember me?" The man walked up to Granny Ma and took off his cloak, revealing the face underneath.

Seeing that the person in front of her looked familiar, Mrs. Ma couldn't help thinking carefully, "Who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Chuan." The man said.

"Xiao Chuan?" The young face appeared in her mind, and Madam Ma looked at the man in front of her. Although the years had left many marks on his face, there was no doubt that it was Xu Baichuan.

Granny Ma grabbed Xu Baichuan's arm, looked him up and down, and said in disbelief, "Xiaochuan, it's really you!"

"It's me, Aunt Ma." Seeing that Granny Ma was agitated, Xu Baichuan hurriedly said, "Aunt Ma, this is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk."

"Okay." The sudden encounter with an old acquaintance made Mrs. Ma tremble a little.

Taking care of Mrs. Ma's age, Xu Baichuan changed the private room on the second floor to the first floor.

He helped Mrs. Ma to sit down and poured tea for her.Xu Baichuan glanced at Zhou Pin.

Zhou Pin was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Brother Xu, you guys talk, I'll wait for you outside."

"Xiao Chuan, do you know Hero Zhou?" After Zhou Pin left, Pozi Ma asked.

Xu Baichuan said: "Auntie, don't worry, Zhou Pin is my dead brother, I entrusted him to protect you."

"So that's the case." Mrs. Ma nodded, and then asked, "How did you find us?"

Xu Baichuan smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that two years ago, I was ordered to come to Pingyao County to do business. On the way, I ran into Ah Man. There was an adult who was familiar with Dingbei Hou, and he said that Ah Man's appearance was similar to Dingbei's. It was very similar when Hou was young. I was suspicious, so I followed Ah Man all the way, and then I saw you."

"Then Ah Man's identity has been revealed?" Madam Ma asked in shock.

Xu Baichuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, that lord has saved Ah Man several times and will not harm him. Otherwise, neither you nor Ah Man can stay in Pingyao County safely."

"That's good." Mrs. Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Who is that lord?"

Xu Baichuan leaned forward and said, "Auntie, I'll talk about this later, I have many things to ask you."

"You want to ask me what happened back then." Madam Ma sighed.

Xu Baichuan nodded and said: "That's right. What happened 14 years ago? Why did Dingbeihou and others say that Miss Yuwei's son was dead? And why did you and Ah Man end up here? Miss Yuwei told me With the grace of saving my life, if it weren't for her, I would never be where I am today. I really can't believe that she would do such a thing."

"You really trust my lady?" Mrs. Ma raised her head and asked.

Xu Baichuan said firmly: "I believe that Ms. Yuwei will not harm her own sister just to fight for favor."

"A real sister?" Mrs. Ma sneered, "Back then, Miss just wanted to have a relationship with her sister, and felt a little pity for her, but who would have thought that she would lure wolves into the house. After Miss became pregnant, Shen Yutang hypocritically pretended to care about her. I went to visit the Hou's mansion, but it turned out to seduce my brother-in-law."

Mrs. Ma's mouth was full of resentment, Xu Baichuan sighed, "I also know the grievances between Marquis Dingbei and Uncle Ning Yuan. If Marquis Dingbei really has no more affection for Miss San, it will... sooner or later."

"Hmph, Shen Yutang has two faces, one before the other and one behind, with vicious thoughts and unbearable behavior." Madam Ma continued: "Not long after entering the mansion, she changed her lovely and pitiful appearance before, and wholeheartedly wanted to seek the position of Miss's main room. "

Xu Baichuan said: "If that's the case, why would it spread in Beijing that it was Miss Yuwei who poisoned the child in Miss San's stomach."

"I don't know why she had a miscarriage, but Miss did not harm her." Madam Ma looked at Xu Baichuan and said, "At that time, Miss was already the eldest wife of the Hou's mansion, and she gave birth to the eldest son for Lord Hou first, her position was stable. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, no one will dare to do anything to her. Why would she ruin her future by killing a child who hasn't been born yet and doesn't know whether it's a boy or a girl? Isn't Shen Yutang coveting the position of the lady's main room and intentionally Framed and framed."

Xu Baichuan asked: "Auntie, it's not that I don't believe you, how can you be sure that Miss San deliberately framed you?"

"Because it is said that the chicken soup that caused Shen Yutang's miscarriage was boiled by myself. I don't know whether it is poisonous or not?" Madam Ma said, "Shen Yutang told Miss that she had a serious convulsion and had no appetite, and wanted to drink my chicken soup." Anyway, I cook chicken soup for the lady every day, and the lady told me to make an extra bowl for her. It is obviously a chicken soup from the same pot, so there is no reason that only her bowl is the problem. I made the chicken soup myself, personally Sheng's hand delivered it to Shen Yutang's wet nurse in person, and there was no fake hand in between. Even if someone wanted to do it, it could only be someone in Shen Yutang's room."

Recalling the past events more than ten years ago, Mrs. Ma is still heartbroken, "After Shen Yutang had a miscarriage, the doctor who took care of her said that red flowers were put in the bowl of chicken soup. Dingbeihou was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The people immediately found a large number of red flowers from the lady's room. I have been serving the lady, so there is no such thing in her room."

"Could it be that someone secretly put it in behind your back?" Xu Baichuan asked.

Mrs. Ma said: "That's right. After the red flower was found, Cuiyun, the young lady's servant girl, followed suit, saying that the young lady was jealous of Shen Yutang and was afraid that she would give birth to a boy and take her place. That's why she wanted to hurt the child in Shen Yutang's belly."

Xu Baichuan said: "This matter is indeed strange, but it is also possible that someone else wanted to harm the third lady, and instead blamed it on Miss Yuwei."

"At that time, Marquis Dingbei only had two women, my young lady and Shen Yutang. In addition, Shen Yutang was Ning Yuanbo's concubine's daughter. Although she was a concubine, the dowry given to her was several times that of my young lady. She was served by all The old people who were originally in Ning'an Bo's mansion were all loyal. I heard that she was pregnant, and Mrs. Ning'an Bo sent several doctors to take care of her. In addition, Lord Hou favored her and took her as a treasure. I really I can't think of anyone else who can take advantage of this loophole. Besides, Cuiyun grew up with Miss in Uncle Ningyuan's residence, besides Shen Yutang, who else has the ability to make her betray her?"

Xu Baichuan nodded and said: "This Cuiyun is the key. Finding her may solve the original mystery. However, how did you and Ah Man escape from the Hou's Mansion, and why did you end up here?"

"The Marquis of Dingbei was forced to marry the miss by order, and he was indifferent to the miss. After Shen Yutang entered the mansion, he devoted all his thoughts to her. In addition, Shen Yutang was also pregnant later, so the Marquis of Dingbei I never came to see Miss again, not even when Ah Man was born."

Mrs. Ma said shyly: "After the incident, Marquis Dingbei did not listen to the lady's excuses at all, and convicted her. He also wrote to the imperial court to abolish the position of the lady's main room, and put Shen Yutang in the position. Uncle Ning Yuan didn't speak for the lady either. Meaning. The lady is alone and besieged on all sides. She knows that the Marquis of Dingbei will not cherish Ah Man, but he has the status of the eldest son after all. As long as Ah Man is alive, Shen Yutang will never tolerate him. So she tried to get Ah Man to leave Dingbei Hou Mansion, go far away."

Xu Baichuan asked: "Dingbeihou Mansion is heavily guarded, how did you, old and young, escape?"

"Although they drove us into the servant's room, it was an independent courtyard after all, and they didn't send anyone to watch. The servants in the Hou's mansion worshiped the high and stepped down, not only withholding our meals, but also ordering us to do work." Mrs. Ma rubbed Wiping his eyes, he said: "There is an old lady who is always in Yexiang and asks me to take over her shift. Although her work is dirty and tiring, she can go out of the mansion with Yexiang's car once a day. Originally, I couldn't go out, But no one is willing to do this kind of dirty work, so they turned a blind eye to it. The guards of the Hou Mansion will not check the car carrying Yexiang, so the lady and I discussed it and hid Ah Man in a wooden box. Go to Yexiang's car, and follow the car out of the Hou's mansion."

Xu Baichuan hurriedly asked: "Why doesn't Ms. Yuwei go with you?"

"Miss refuses to leave no matter what." Madam Ma cried and said, "She said that if we all leave, we will definitely be discovered. She has to stay to delay time, otherwise none of us can escape. I don't want to leave She was alone, but the young lady said that Ah Man's life was more important than hers. So..."

Looking at the crying Madam Ma, Xu Baichuan was also extremely sad.He can understand Shen Yuwei's plan, even if she has fallen out of favor and been abolished, she is still a female family member of the Dingbeihou Mansion, if she suddenly disappears, it will definitely alert the people in the mansion immediately.The Marquis of Dingbei held the military power in his hand, so it was easy to find two women and a child.

"I didn't dare to delay after leaving the Dingbeihou's mansion with Ah Man in my arms. I hired a car and left the capital immediately. I didn't dare to rent a farmhouse in the nearby countryside until I left the capital. It wasn't until two months later , I just learned from the people who came back from Beijing that Miss stabbed Shen Yutang and committed suicide." At this point, Ma Pozi was extremely sad.

Xu Baichuan said with a sullen face: "The matter in Dingbeihou's mansion was very troublesome back then. The official said that the young lady murdered the heir of the Houfu, and Dingbeihou wrote a letter to abolish the position of the main house. Later, the young lady's son was unfortunate. She died young, so I hated Shen Yutang, and stabbed her seriously with a knife. After I returned to Beijing, I also investigated privately, and the people in Beijing seemed to have a unified caliber, and their opinions were generally consistent. However, there was a rumor that the young lady’s son did not die, but He disappeared inexplicably. Although Marquis Dingbei also sent people to look for it, unfortunately they found nothing. However, this kind of rumor is not widely spread, and no one believes it. It’s just that I didn’t expect that there are so many things involved.”

"That slut Shen Yutang treated Miss like this, she didn't stab her to death with that knife, it really took advantage of her." Madam Ma said angrily.

Xu Baichuan comforted: "Auntie, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. One day we will be able to find out the truth and take revenge. As long as Ah Man is still there, there is hope. It is a pity that Ah Man is just a commoner now. His position is high and powerful, blindly hiding is not an option. I came here this time to have a chance to make Ah Man famous, but it is a bit risky, I wonder if you would like to give it a try?"

Because of my negligence, the last chapter was even more wrong. Fortunately, I found it not too late (cover my face). If this kind of accident happened, I updated it one day in advance. I hope the little angels are not to blame.
