Chapter 299 Confession

"Old Man Ma's mistress and his son, Boss Ma, are involved in a complicated relationship. The Ma family has so many scandals!"

"So, for the sake of his offspring and family wealth, Boss Ma first conspired with Zhang to kill Old Man Ma, and then killed Zhang to silence her?"

"Didn't Ma Xiaoqin say that Zhang Corporation was her own investment?"

The people outside the court were shocked, talking at the same time in a chaotic manner.

Jiang Yuzhu leaned back in her chair in a comfortable posture, sipping tea slowly, her eyes fixed on Old Lady Ma's face.

When Ma Laoer exposed the scandal, Mrs. Ma was not surprised, as she had obviously known about it for a long time.

As if surprised that the house on North Street was under Old Man Ma's name, Old Lady Ma paused and said with a gloomy expression, "Second Brother, your father is gone, and you have a share of the Ma family's property. Do you think you are innocent by slandering your own mother like this?"

"The Ma family's assets have nothing to do with you, little girl. In the end, they will belong to you and the boss."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Old Madam Ma avoided the main point and never mentioned her eldest son's background. She used the family property as an inducement and gave a subtle wink to Old Second Ma.

After all, it is a family matter. It will not benefit the Ma family to say too much in court.

The most important thing now is to cover up the lie, to make a big thing small, and to make a small thing disappear.

"mother……"

Ma Laoer was frightened by his mother and couldn't help but hesitate again.

Seeing that Ma Lao Er was about to turn against her, Ma Xiaoqin woke up as if from a dream and shouted loudly: "Second brother, wake up. With Ma Lao Da here, what does the Ma family's money have to do with you?"

The more we uncover the secrets of the Ma family, the more we can understand. Things that were previously incomprehensible can now be explained.

There are three brothers and sisters in the Ma family, and old lady Ma only favors the eldest son.

"Boss Ma is the son of my mother and her lover. No wonder my father doesn't love me, a little girl. So this is the root of the problem!"

Ma Xiaoqin's eyes were filled with hatred. Old Mrs. Ma disliked her, not because she favored boys over girls, but because she was Old Man Ma's daughter.

"If my biological father was the old doorman, would he also be spoiled like a treasure?"

Being stimulated one after another, Ma Xiaoqin laughed sharply twice, a little crazy.

The relationship between Old Lady Ma and the gatekeeper goes back a long time. They were originally from the same village in the south. Due to a flood, the entire village fled to the northern border town.

On the way to escape famine, all of Old Lady Ma's family members died, and she herself became seriously ill. She was saved by the care of the doorman.

The two fell in love with each other and both worked as doormen, giving the money they earned to Old Lady Ma.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.

Because of fleeing famine and malnutrition, the doorman fell seriously ill and needed the best medicine to stay alive.

Old Mrs. Ma had no choice but to sell herself. Because she was delicate and pretty, Old Man Ma took a fancy to her and took her home as his wife with a full set of betrothal gifts.

With the silver, the doorman was saved.

For so many years, the doorman has not married and has been guarding the gate of the Ma family, being very inconspicuous.

In front of the servants, Old Lady Ma kept her distance from the doorman, and the two of them often met in the teahouse next to the garden when Old Man Ma was not at home.

"Second brother, how do you know that Boss Ma is not Daddy's son?"

Ma Xiaoqin had been kept in the dark, but judging from her second brother's expression, it seemed that he had known about it for a long time.

Ma Lao Er sighed and said, "Dad said it himself. A few years ago, one night, Dad got drunk and pulled me aside to talk a lot, telling me to be more careful about my eldest brother."

Old Mrs. Ma gave birth prematurely, but the fetus looked like a full-term one, which had already made Old Man Ma suspicious.

Because he was unsure, Old Man Ma had been looking for evidence all these years. However, things are unpredictable and he passed away before the Ma family's property was divided.

"Sir, as to whether the child born from the concubine is my brother's flesh and blood, you must first capture the person and interrogate him."

But the mistress heard the news and ran away, so it is difficult to find her.

After Ma Lao Er finished speaking, he took a big step to the left, deliberately avoiding looking at the gloomy face of Old Lady Ma.

Upon closer thought, although my younger sister is greedy and lazy, she is right. Only brothers and sisters are the closest.

Ma Xiaoqin was almost silenced, who could have predicted who would be the next one?

The court fell silent again. Boss Ma hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Old Mrs. Ma looked a little flustered, and kept glancing at the old man at the doorman, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Hongli took in everyone's expressions and whispered, "Madam, why is this case getting more and more complicated?"

“Maybe there will be a reversal.”

Jiang Yuzhu narrowed her eyes and observed carefully, and always felt that the person behind the scenes was not Boss Ma.

Everyone in the Ma family has their own thoughts, and each member is not simple. There are also concubines and illegitimate children who have not appeared yet. Once they join in, the situation will only become more chaotic.

Just when everyone thought the situation would continue to stalemate, the taciturn Boss Ma suddenly spoke up: "Sir, Old Man Ma and Zhang were both killed by me."

"Boss, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Old Mrs. Ma didn't expect her son to confess so easily. She was so angry that her eyes went dark and her body swayed.

The doorman hurried forward and considerately supported Old Mrs. Ma. The two of them snuggled up tightly, ignoring the looks of outsiders.

"Dad, Mom, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Old Man Ma is not my son's father."

Boss Ma was emotionally stable, with no fear in his eyes, only the relief of having confessed everything.

For so many years, he has had enough of bearing the reputation of the eldest son of the Ma family!

For his sake, his biological father stayed in the Ma family as a doorman. He was often ordered around and bullied by the old man Ma. Every time the old man Ma saw this, he could not help and felt very tormented.

"Mom, old man Ma deserves to die."

After Boss Ma finished speaking, he laughed heartily a few times, and his honest face became more generous. He no longer concealed anything and said, "Old Ma likes to steal other people's things the most. Back then, he snatched mother away from my father. Cuilan and I were in love, but Old Ma forced Cuilan to become his concubine. When I brought Zhang into the family, Old Ma also had an affair with Zhang..."

Boss Ma has only two women, and both were raped by old man Ma.

Just because Old Man Ma is rich and the head of the family, he has to take revenge like this?

The news was getting more and more explosive, and the officers kept their jaws dropped and kept grinning.

The prefect also felt the situation was difficult. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Boss Ma, how did you kill Old Man Ma first and then kill Zhang to silence her?"

There was too much nonsense, so the prefect signaled Boss Ma to get to the point.

Boss Ma said without hesitation, "What Ma Xiaoqin heard is true. I conspired with the Zhang family just to kill Old Man Ma."

As for the method, it is very simple, using medicine.

Boss Ma spent a lot of money to buy incense and several kinds of medicinal powder on the black market.

"Old Man Ma overdosed during intercourse, first experiencing hallucinations, and then sudden death."

Zhang knew all the details.

After hearing this, the prefect asked, "So, in order to keep the money for yourself, you planned to kill Zhang and silence her?"

“Not really.”

Boss Ma shook his head. "If Cao Min had planned ahead, he wouldn't have secretly buried the charcoal at night and been discovered by Ma Xiaoqin."
