Cuilan covered her son's ears, a look of determination on her face. She smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, my husband is honest. He always remembers the kindness of old man Ma in raising him, so he is reluctant to take action."
Old Man Ma had long suspected that his eldest son was not his own, and he had been trying every possible way to kill him for years. However, Old Man Ma was lucky enough to be rescued from danger several times and his life was not over.
Old Man Ma was full of hatred and had become twisted. He was bent on revenge and finally chose Cuilan as his target.
"Ever since I became pregnant, Old Man Ma treated me well for a few years. As Xiaobao grew older and looked more and more like my husband, Old Man Ma heard the rumors and became murderous."
Cuilan didn't think there was anything wrong with her being devoted to Old Man Ma while secretly having an affair with Boss Ma. She had no choice.
The prefect was amazed. He had never handled such a difficult case in all his years as an official. The entire Ma family, including Cuilan and the deceased Zhang, were evil people.
The prefect frowned and said patiently, "Cui Lan, how did you know that Old Man Ma intended to kill you and Xiao Bao?"
Cuilan smiled coldly. Since she had voluntarily surrendered herself, she had no intention of getting out alive.
Old man Ma is dead, but that kind of scumbag shouldn't live on the sympathy of others.
"Old Man Ma put rat poison in the food of the woman and Xiaobao."
That day, the stingy old man Ma ordered a table of food from the restaurant, drank with Cuilan, and called Xiaobao with a kind look.
During the meal, Old Man Ma just drank and didn't eat a single bite of food.
"I'm having my period and have unbearable stomach pain. I was forced to have sex with old man Ma, so I have no appetite."
Cuilan took a few bites of the food, but Xiaobao wasn't hungry because he had eaten snacks.
Because she was not feeling well, Cuilan did not notice Old Man Ma's abnormal behavior until she and Xiaobao vomited at night and the door was locked from the outside. Only then did Cuilan realize that something was wrong.
"There was no one in the huge house, and I thought I was dying. But a scoundrel passing by noticed something was wrong and took the initiative to open the door for me and find a doctor for me and Xiaobao."
"Doctor, please come and see me. I and Xiaobao have accidentally ingested a strong rat poison. If we delay for another hour, even a Golden Immortal can't save us."
It's funny to say that the lives of mother and son were saved by a little thief.
The next day, Old Man Ma did not come to the house, but wandered around the neighborhood to inquire about the news.
Cuilanhua paid the little thief for help and found the shop where Old Man Ma bought the rat poison. There was witnesses and evidence.
"Then why don't you report it to the police?"
The prefect banged on the wooden pillars of the hall and angrily said, "Old Ma was trying to harm you, and you secretly planned to kill him, but you didn't even think of reporting to the authorities for help?"
"Will it be helpful to report to the police?"
Cuilan showed a trace of sadness on her face. She was bought and forced by Old Man Ma, and her life was no longer her own.
Moreover, as a mother, she wanted to protect Xiaobao and did not want anyone to know Xiaobao's background.
Old man Ma is a womanizer. As long as he plans well, he can kill someone with someone else's knife without anyone noticing.
After hearing this, Ma Xiaoqin sneered, "This is truly moving! Even if Daddy was wrong, wasn't it wrong for you to secretly hook up with Boss Ma? You blame your brother and his wife for being betrayed. Daddy paid for it!"
"After learning that Daddy was intent on harming you, you didn't report it to the police. Aren't you after the Ma family's money? After all, you and the bastard you gave birth to have nothing to do with the Ma family."
Ma Xiaoqin spat. He was clearly greedy for money and wealth, but he insisted on building a memorial archway for himself. How disgusting!
Cuilan glanced at Ma Xiaoqin, raised the corner of her mouth, and then said, "My lord, it was Zhang who found out that Old Man Ma had a mistress and came to the mansion on North Street to cause trouble. I saw the opportunity and persuaded Zhang to take the opportunity to kill Old Man Ma."
Zhang is cruel and was a chess piece that Cuilan had laid out long ago.
From the very beginning, Boss Ma and Zhang had ulterior motives in their interactions.
Everything went as planned. Old man Ma used the same trick again and raped Zhang. Cuilan persuaded Zhang to join in.
"As for why she wanted to kill Zhang, it was because her originally dull mind suddenly became aware that she was just a pawn, and she used this to threaten my husband and me..."
In this way, people can no longer stay.
Cuilan took the lead and decided to kill the man.
She looked at Ma Xiaoqin and said with a sinister smile, "You are so lucky. You should have died originally."
"Crazy, really crazy!"
Seeing the madness in Cuilan's eyes, Ma Xiaoqin took a step back, trembling, but still pretending to be tough and said, "Even if you take the blame, Boss Ma can't escape. Your whole family will be beheaded. Daddy's money belongs to us brothers and sisters!"
"Yeah?"
Cuilan raised her eyebrows, and the smile in her eyes made Ma Xiaoqin's heart skip a beat, and she felt something was wrong.
"Sir, sir, the Ma family's sesame oil shop and the house on North Street have been damaged!"
An official came hurriedly to report the news and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When the government office opened, merchants around the Ma family stopped doing business in order to watch the fun. Anyone in the city who had time would go to the government office to hang out.
The sesame oil shop caught fire, but no one came to put out the fire immediately.
The house on North Street also burned quickly because it was too empty.
When Ma Xiaoqin heard this, she was completely confused. Her eyes were bloodshot with rage. She rushed to Cuilan like the wind and slapped her, wishing she could bite her flesh and blood: "Bitch, did you do this?"
"Hahaha!"
Cuilan laughed wildly, then looked at Boss Ma with affection, "My dear, we are destined not to be together forever in this life. We will continue our relationship in the next life."
Before she could finish her words, Cuilan suddenly crashed into a pillar not far away.
Hong Xiu saw what she was doing, but it was too late to stop her.
With a loud bang, Cuilan's forehead was pierced. Before the impact, she used the hairpins on her head to block it and died with her eyes open.
After being stunned for a long time, Boss Ma still refused to believe what he saw. He knelt on the ground and wailed. He took out the medicine powder in his arms and swallowed it all in one gulp.
"Oh no, Boss Ma is going to commit suicide!"
Yan Lin hurried to the front to stop him, but unexpectedly, Ma Lao was stronger and pushed Yan Lin away, swallowing the powder cleanly.
The source of the medicinal powder used on Old Man Ma and Zhang has not been found out yet. People cannot die like this.
"Quick, give Boss Ma a shot of salt water to induce vomiting!"
Time is tight, so before injecting saline solution, use chopsticks to press the tongue to induce vomiting mechanically.
The court was in chaos again.
After all the trouble, Boss Ma's life was temporarily saved.
When Jiang Yuzhu returned to the inn, Hongli had already heard the latest news.
"Madam, Cuilan is so cruel! She's trying to cut off the Ma family's escape route!"
The house on North Street was burned down to only the courtyard wall, and the sesame oil shop was even more tragic, with several neighboring shops burned down.
The neighboring merchants went to the government office to file a complaint, and in the end the compensation was paid by the Ma family.
"Ma Lao Er and Ma Xiao Qin made a wrong calculation. Even if they sell the shop and the house, it will only be enough to cover the aftermath."
These two people were also involved in the deaths of Old Man Ma and Zhang, and they will have to go to jail later.
