"Senior brother." Mingyue turned sideways and bowed to Ding Youtian first, then bowed to Ma Fuquan and smiled slightly.
Well-behaved, gentle and polite.
Tian didn't think she was coquettish, but she thought she looked pretty when she smiled. She was afraid that Ma Fuquan would be dazzled by her smile, so she quickly found an excuse to take Ma Fuquan away.
"Don't you have to go to the county government office or the escort agency today?" she asked Ma Fuquan, and at the same time helped him straighten his clothes and pulled them front to back.
"Lord He asked me to help the craftsmen keep an eye on the lantern making these days. Don't rush to the government office. He will send someone to report to me if anything happens. My second brother is running the escort agency, and Yuechan is helping him, so he doesn't need me."
Ma Fuquan knew what was going on in Tian's mind, and he found it both amusing and heartbreaking. In his previous life, he had deliberately distanced himself from Wu Juan, and he didn't know how she had gotten through all those years. Every time he thought about it, he felt extremely guilty.
He also knew that Tian and Wu Juan were not the same person, and his guilt towards Wu Juan could not be compensated by Tian. He was just deceiving himself and seeking peace of mind.
But he had already missed it once and was sorry for Wu Juan. No matter what, he would never do anything to let Tian down or make her sad in this life.
"Don't worry." He thought to himself, and the words came out of his mouth involuntarily.
"What should I worry about?" Tian looked up at him, confused.
"Anyway, just put your heart at ease. I, Ma Fuquan, will never do anything to make you sad and cry in my life. Just know that I only have you and your mother in my heart."
"Look at you, what are you talking about?" Tian glared at him, but her heart was filled with joy. "Go and do your own thing. Oh, by the way, the clan school is closed today. Tell Xiaomai and the others to stop playing around and causing trouble for me."
"If they dare, just beat them." Ma Fuquan now has some experience in disciplining Ma Xiaomai and the others. As a special police captain, he manages a special police team of hundreds of people clearly. How could he be stumped by a few children?
He just needs to discipline Ma Xiaomai and give him some power to discipline the two younger brothers. Ma Xiaomai feels that he is valued by his father, and tries his best to discipline his two younger brothers. He is very enthusiastic about it and reports every detail to him.
Now he is in the special police team and does the same thing. He basically lets the two captains Guan and He do their work freely. He does not employ people he doubts, and trusts people he employs. He had mastered the art of controlling his subordinates in his previous life.
"I'm going to talk to Youtian's wife about something. You better be careful when you work, and don't kill my daughter." He pointed at Tian's belly and reminded her.
"Be careful with your words. You're getting more and more frivolous as you get older." Tian hit him on the arm. "Go and do your own thing. Don't talk so much. Watch out for her aunt getting angry and giving you a cold shoulder."
"That's impossible. I can only say it in front of my wife, haha." He smiled and went to the main house.
Jian Ning took Mr. Mo's wife's pulse. In fact, she didn't need to take her pulse. She just asked her and found out that in addition to the pain in her shoulders and back, she also often had pain under her ribs. She concluded that she had gallstones.
However, the surgical equipment could not pass through the clear road now, and it was inconvenient for her to do B-ultrasound. She used the excuse of going to the clinic to get medicine for her, and asked Ding Youtian to accompany the three of them while she walked out.
"Brother Ma."
She came out and saw Ma Fuquan coming towards her, "I want to talk to you about something." Ma Fuquan walked out of the yard with her.
"What's the matter?" She stopped and asked when she reached the yard.
"Old Guan is back. The people of the Seven Absolutes Sect don't reveal their guests' information to outsiders, and even if he reveals his identity, they won't buy it. A martial arts sect that dares to openly challenge the people of the official sect must have a powerful force behind it. However, I don't think the force behind them is Prince Yong. Prince Yong's mansion has its own martial arts forces, and they wouldn't go to the Seven Absolutes Sect to hire someone to kill. What do you think?"
"It's hard to say. There are two concubines in the Prince of Pingnan's Palace. Both of them are suspects, but Concubine Min, who is in charge of the family, is the most suspicious. After all, if there is anyone whose interests are affected by the existence of my mother and me, she and her daughter will bear the brunt."
"Is it possible..." Jian Ning looked up at him, "That General Geng was secretly sent by Concubine Min to try to eliminate my mother and me. I'm assuming that she was the one who wanted to harm my mother and me, and she didn't tell Prince Yong about it. It was just her unilateral action. Do you think this is possible?"
"I can't rule out this possibility. How about I go talk to Huo Jincheng? If that doesn't work, I'll go to the capital and personally escort the wine for him. When I get there, I'll make inquiries for you."
"Isn't it too much trouble for you to make a trip to the capital?"
"You're telling me this. I don't treat you as an outsider. Speaking of this, I have something else to tell you." Ma Fuquan told her that he was married in his previous life and had a daughter.
When he mentioned that Wu Juan and Tian looked exactly alike, he saw that Jian Ning didn't show any surprise at all. He felt puzzled and was about to ask her, but Jian Ning spoke first.
"I know. I had a dream one day. It was strange, don't you think?"
She didn't tell Ma Fuquan the truth about her dream because she wasn't sure if he would travel back in time one day. Furthermore, Tian was pregnant, and sharing the uncertainty would only cause more trouble and might even affect their relationship.
Personally, she and Wu Juan had no connection, so she naturally preferred Tian. She only told Ma Fuquan that in her dream, she saw him and Tian, dressed in modern clothes, shopping with a little girl.
Ma Fuquan's eyes dimmed.
"If, I mean if one day in the future, you have the opportunity to return to our world, would you be willing to go back?"
"...What about you? Do you choose to stay or go back?"
Jian Ning shook her head: "If I can go back, I'd still like to stay here."
"Why? Because of Ding Youtian?"
"Yeah. And our four children."
Ma Fuquan nodded. He didn't say whether he wanted to go back or stay, and Jian Ning didn't ask.
In the Ma family yard, Ma Xiaomai was acting as the eagle again, Ma Xiaomi was acting as the hen, Dabao, Da Niu, the youngest son of the Chang family, as well as Daya, Xiaoya, Erniu and Sanniu were all acting as chicks. The group of children were having fun, but Ding Sheng was sitting alone on the straw mat on the porch, looking depressed.
He would steal glances at Dabao and the others from time to time. The happier the four kids laughed, the sadder he felt, as if he were being pricked by needles.
After he learned that Ding Youtian had been granted special privileges by the emperor, that he could no longer kneel before officials and that he had also been given half an acre of fertile land, and then thought about his father who had passed away young and the debts that his family still carried, he was filled with hatred and resentment, and his heart could no longer contain the overwhelming anger and grievance.
Making an excuse to go home and put on more clothes, he ran to his father's grave in the back mountain alone, laid down on the grave and sobbed.
He didn't know how long he had been crying when a voice rang out in the back of his head: "Hey, little brother, who bullied you? Why are you crying here alone?"
