Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan was surprised because Tian Ergeng’s nephew Tian Yu actually married Liu Yijing’s granddaughter Liu Xiangxiang...
Tian Ergen sat back with satisfaction and said loudly: "Okay, everyone should eat and drink. Well, where is the bride? You have all seen it. You must know who it is, so I, Tian Ergen, won't hide it either.
Tucked in... Mr. Liu Yijing, Mr. Liu, and I, Tian Ergeng, are in-laws from now on. I hope you will treat each other well."
All the guests raised their hands and said: "Master Tian, you are so polite."
...
Ma Xiaoquan stood in the crowd, sighing in his heart. He didn't expect Liu Yijing to marry his precious granddaughter to Tian Ergen's nephew. In this way, Liu Yijing had a relationship with Wei Zhongxian. It seemed that he
From now on, there will be one less friend and one more enemy.
Shaking his head, Ma Xiaoquan turned around and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he met the bride Liu Xiangxiang who was leaving the ceremony and going back to the bridal chamber to wait for the groom.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Tian." Ma Xiaoquan apologized quickly.
Liu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, with ripples in her heart. She raised her head happily and saw a face he didn't recognize. She was immediately disappointed again.
"It turns out it's not him. I thought he would come to see me..." Liu Xiangxiang shook his head and left disappointed.
Looking at that thin figure, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt pity in his heart. In any case, Liu Xiangxiang seemed to be unwilling, but why did he marry someone named Tian even though he knew he was unwilling?
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan decided to secretly ask Liu Xiangxiang.
However, Liu Xiangxiang wanted to enter the bridal chamber. What if he broke into the bridal chamber rashly and was seen? This is a taboo at weddings.
Seeing Liu Xiangxiang disappear, Ma Xiaoquan finally decided to ask.
Today was a big day, and the entire Tian Mansion was filled with joy. Ma Xiaoquan hid in the kitchen, knocked out a cook, took off the other man's clothes, and changed them to himself.
Carrying a plate of dishes, Ma Xiaoquan came to the door of the bridal chamber.
"Madam, this is Master Tian Yu's order for me to bring you some food."
The door creaked open, and it was Liu Xiangxiang's personal maid Chunxiang who opened the door.
Chunxiang looked at Ma Xiaoquan carefully, frowned and said, "Why do you look so familiar?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Oh, you have admitted the wrong person. I am a new cook in Tian's house. It has only been a few days. You said that he looks familiar. It doesn't make sense. Besides, I am not sure whether I can stay in Tian's house."
Where is the house?”
The maid made a sound, stretched out her hand and said: "The bride cannot eat."
Ma Xiaoquan secretly thought that he had forgotten this custom.
"Hi" Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and said immediately, "The young lady took off her red veil in front of so many people, and Master Tian Ergen didn't say anything, so Young Master Tian Yu ordered the young one to come. The young lady has never been married, so
If you don’t understand the rules, take it away now, take it away now.”
Just when Ma Xiaoquan was about to leave and think of a solution, Liu Xiangxiang in the room suddenly said: "Wait a moment."
Liu Xiangxiang had no intention of eating at first, but why did the little cook at the door sound so like the man who bumped into him just now?
After thinking about it, Liu Xiangxiang decided to get up and take a look.
When she walked to the door, Liu Xiangxiang looked at Ma Xiaoquan's face, her beautiful eyebrows moved slightly, and she suddenly understood something in her heart.
"Chunxiang, go and take the food away. Little chef, please stay. I'll ask you a few words."
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head: "Yes"
Chunxiang took the food, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, curled her lips and left.
After Chunxiang disappeared, Liu Xiangxiang suddenly stepped in front of Ma Xiaoquan and asked: "Are you him? Are you him?"
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be stupid: "What is he? Miss, what did you say? I didn't understand."
Liu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and showed tears in her eyes: "I know you are him, but if you don't admit it, I won't force you. Anyway, I'm not clean anymore, and I don't expect anything..."
Ma Xiaoquan continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "Miss, I really can't understand what you are saying."
Liu Xiangxiang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, maybe you really are not him, then just listen to me... My body has long been defiled by that beast Tian Yu...
..”
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
Liu Xiangxiang continued to talk to himself: "That happened not long after he sent me home. I was in a bad mood, so I took Chunxiang out for a walk. Tian Yu fell in love with me, and after he stunned me with his sweet words, he won the prize."
My body... At this time, my grandfather made another mistake. The Tian family took the opportunity to put pressure on my grandfather... My grandfather had no choice but to marry me to Tian Yu...
..”
Ma Xiaoquan was so angry that he wished he could go over and kill Tian Yu now, but he knew that he could not do this.
"Miss......"
Liu Xiangxiang glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said with a wry smile: "Your voice is really similar to his. Well, if you guys know each other, I hope you can tell him that Xiangxiang has always had him in his heart... he has always been there."
....."
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, and was about to say, "I am Ma Xiaoquan," but at this moment, the maid Chunxiang came back.
Ma Xiaoquan swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Chunxiang stepped forward and said slowly: "Hey, little chef, why are you still here? Hurry up and leave."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled awkwardly, bowed to Liu Xiangxiang and said, "Madam, there's nothing to do. I'm going to leave. Today is your special day, so I can't disturb you any more."
Liu Xiangxiang raised his head, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and hummed softly.
Chunxiang pushed Ma Xiaoquan out and closed the bridal chamber door with a bang, but Ma Xiaoquan could feel that Liu Xiangxiang was inside the door at this moment and had not moved.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, walked to the door, and said softly: "Xiangxiang... I'm sorry for you." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan turned around and left.
Just as Ma Xiaoquan left, the door suddenly opened with a creak.
Liu Xiangxiang rushed out of the bridal chamber with tears streaming down her face. The two lines of hot tears had already stained the makeup on her face. She tried not to let herself cry out, but she kept mumbling: "Why, why don't you take me away..."
....Why......"
The maid Chunxiang ran out, supported Liu Xiangxiang, and said distressedly: "Miss... what's wrong with you? Why are you crying suddenly?"
Liu Xiangxiang pursed his lips and resisted wiping away the tears on his face. He turned to Chunxiang and said, "It's nothing. I just missed my grandpa suddenly. Chunxiang, please help me touch up my makeup."
"Oh, okay"
Behind the wall of the bridal chamber, Ma Xiaoquan stood quietly with his eyes closed. He heard Liu Xiangxiang's words, but he still chose to remain silent.
Liu Xiangxiang wanted him to take her away, but Ma Xiaoquan couldn't, because once he left, Liu Yijing, the Liu family, and even other people related to him would suffer Tian Ergen's angry revenge.
Opening his eyes, Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and then slowly left.
After changing back into his own clothes, Ma Xiaoquan woke up the little cook who had been knocked unconscious by him earlier.
"I...what's wrong with me?" The little chef didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan had knocked him unconscious. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was still asking Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan helped the little chef up, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Young man, you suddenly fainted. Well, are you in poor health? Oh, the Tian family doesn't care for people with poor health, right?"
The little chef was startled and quickly knelt down in front of Ma Xiaofang: "Sir, sir, you must keep it a secret..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not from the Tian family, but you should be careful. Well, this is two taels of silver, take it."
"Big...adult, small...small ones can't be accepted"
"Eh? I don't want you to do anything bad, just take it." Ma Xiaoquan threw the silver to the little chef.
"Sir, thank you so much," the little chef took the money and kowtowed heavily to Ma Xiaoquan twice.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, hummed, and walked away.
After leaving the gate of Tian's house, Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and took another look.
"Xiangxiang, goodbye..." Ma Xiaoquan sighed and walked towards the city gate.
...
After leaving Beijing, Ma Xiaoquan immediately rode back.
Five days later, Ma Xiaoquan returned to Caobang.
Hua Yue was surprised when she saw Ma Xiaoquan. She originally thought that Ma Xiaoquan would be delayed for a month no matter what, but after going back and forth, Ma Xiaoquan only spent half a month.
"Did you get the Baiwei grass?" Hua Yue asked.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, took out the small box from his arms, opened the lid, and showed it to Hua Yue.
Hua Yue didn't know much about medicinal materials, but seeing that the medicinal materials in the box were very similar to what the doctor described, she took the small box and said, "The doctor has already told me how to make it, and I'll go there myself. Well, you can rest."
Take a lick"
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "How is Miss Chen?"
Hua Yue said: "It's better. Why, do you want to go to her place?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "It still doesn't work. When your medicine is ready, we will go together."
Hua Yue hummed, took the medicine box and left.
An hour later, Hua Yue came back with a medicine pot. Ma Xiaoquan had also rested for an hour and had recovered a lot of energy.
Smelling the strong smell of medicine on Hua Yue's body, Ma Xiaoquan comforted him: "Yue'er, thank you for your hard work."
Hua Yue shook her head: "Humph, it's not just for you, you are such a sentimental person."
"Me?" Ma Xiaoquan said innocently, "I really don't have any thoughts about Miss Chen. Don't misunderstand me."
"Then why do you still insist on saving her? You and she have only met a few times."
