210 “How Dare That B*tch Trick Me!”
“I want this shop. If you know what’s good for you, hand over the deed to the shop obediently. If I’m in a good mood, I can give you 8,000 taels to buy a shop elsewhere!
If you continue to be so shameless, believe it or not, I’ll smash this lousy shop into pieces now, so you won’t be able to open it!”
Ma Xiuzhu was extremely arrogant.
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman who was protecting Lin Suisui as she retreated into the shop. He frowned and stared at her for a long time before shouting, “Hey, aren’t you the pregnant concubine from General Gao’s backyard?!
“Why are you here?!”
After he discovered Yuan Niang, Xiu Zhu’s arrogance clearly subsided a lot. He usually got his way in Cloud Mountain City!
However, the premise was that he didn’t provoke people from General Gao’s Mansion!
Their family had to rely on General Gao to survive! He knew his adoptive uncle’s personality very well. If General Gao’s interests weren’t affected, no matter how much trouble he caused, he would still be the nephew of the General who stabilizes the north. However, if he caused trouble and hurt the interests of the General who stabilizes the north, he might be beaten to death by his adoptive uncle.
Seeing General Gao’s beloved concubine here, Ma Xiuzhu naturally didn’t dare to do anything else. He stared at Yuan Niang cautiously, ready to escape at any time.
“Of course I bought this shop to do business!” Lin Suisui didn’t know, but Yuan Niang knew very well why Ma Xiuzhu, who had been extremely arrogant previously, was so cautious now.
Not many people knew that she had left the general’s residence.
She decided to play along. She continued, “You can open a shop, but I can’t?!”
“Of course. If you want to open a shop, you can open it anywhere you want!”
When Ma Xiuzhu heard Yuan Niang’s words, he didn’t dare to stay any longer. After he smiled apologetically, he quickly left with the group of people who had just come.
Seeing that this group of people had left, the woman and Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. They quickly went out and got into the ox cart. Then, they instructed the driver, who was guarding outside, to immediately drive the carriage home.
“Today, I used my previous identity to intimidate him for the time being, but this isn’t a long-term solution. When he goes back, he only needs to ask the women at home to find out the truth. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hide the fact that I’ve already left the general’s residence!
Someone like him definitely won’t let it go!”
In the ox cart, Yuan Niang looked at Lin Suisui worriedly. “I’m afraid things will be even harder to deal with at that time.”
“My husband already mentioned it to me last night. This matter will be resolved soon. After all, Ma Xiuzhu is able to show off in Cloud Mountain City because his father is Gao Xuwei’s sworn brother!
Without Gao Xuwei, the Ma family will be nothing! Without Gao Xuwei’s support, Ma Xiuzhu’s father naturally can’t manage the horse ranch outside the pass!
In fact, Ma Xiuzhu’s family will be implicated because of Gao Xuwei’s corruption. At that time, if something happens to Ma Xiuzhu’s family, they won’t be able to protect themselves. Not to mention targeting our shop, they probably won’t even be able to protect the shop in their hands!”
While Lin Suisui was talking to Yuan Niang about Ma Xiuzhu, after Ma Xiuzhu rushed home in a panic, he finally calmed down and realized that something was wrong today.
He thought for a moment, then turned around and went to his mother’s courtyard. As soon as he entered, he kicked out all the girls surrounding his mother. Only when he and his mother were the only ones left in the warm pavilion did he lean against his mother with a straight face as he sat on the other side of the brick bed. He fanned himself irritably.
“Child, what’s going on?! It’s winter. Aren’t you afraid of freezing?!”
Ma Xiuzhu’s mother, Ma Deng, looked at her youngest son, whom she doted on the most, and shook her head helplessly with a smile. “Where did you return from? Why are you so worked up?!
“Didn’t you plan to buy a new shop in the next two days? What’s wrong? Did something happen?!”
“Mother, you know about the concubine called Yuan Niang from my uncle’s backyard, right?!” Ma Xiuzhu put away his fan and asked Ma Deng seriously.
Seeing that his mother was frowning in contemplation, he added, “She’s the pretty one who’s pregnant!”
“Your uncle has many concubines who have been pregnant. All of them are beautiful! What are you thinking?! Let me tell you, although you can mess around, don’t go overboard!
If you anger your uncle, even if your father and I go out and beg on our knees, your uncle might not let you off!”
Ma Xiuzhu’s anxiousness shocked Ma Deng. She immediately looked up and stared at her son nervously. She was afraid that her son would do something irreparable!
“Mother, what are you thinking?!” Ma Xiuzhu was shocked by his mother’s speculation. He couldn’t help but jump up from his seat and stare at his mother as he stomped his feet helplessly. “She’s the woman who got pregnant and even came to our house to stay for two months!
I saw her when I went to that shop today!
From what she said, she seemed to have bought the shop!
She looks like she’s already given birth, but there’s no good news from Uncle Yi’s residence?!”
“You’re talking about her?! There’s no good news!
Yesterday, I went to see the general’s wife to give her a gift and happened to hear it!
She said that the girl wasn’t lucky enough. The trip was too bumpy and her body was too fragile. The child was gone just like that!
The general was furious. On the way back to Cloud Mountain City, he sold this girl!
“She has nothing to do with the general’s residence anymore. Did you mistake someone else for her?!”
Ma Deng finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Ma Xiuzhu’s words. As long as her son knew that he couldn’t go overboard, she would be relieved!
“That b*tch actually dared to trick me!” After hearing his mother’s words, not only did Ma Xiuzhu’s anger not subside, but it also intensified!
He slapped the table and gritted his teeth. “I was kind enough to give them a way out. It’s bad enough that they turned me down, but they actually lied to me!
I’ll make them suffer!
I’ll smash that shop into pieces. I’ll see how they can still open that shop!”
