Chapter 298 The Court Exploded
Ma Xiaoqin opened her mouth and found her mouth dry and her lips chapped. She said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, can I have a bowl of water?"
The prefect made a gesture and the officer poured a bowl of water for Ma Xiaoqin.
Ma Xiaoqin drank it all in one gulp, and said with a forced smile: "After Zhang died, women dared not drink water from their mother's house."
Seeing everyone from the Ma family looking at her, especially Boss Ma's eyes, Ma Xiaoqin shuddered.
Now she couldn't care about many things, and she didn't even dare to calculate the family property. Staying alive was the first priority!
"Sir, I suspect that Zhang's death was caused by Boss Ma."
Ma Xiaoqin really couldn't bring herself to call him "Big Brother".
This time, the court exploded again.
Especially the common people who were crowded in front of the hall to listen to the trial, when they learned about the scandal and the inside story of the Ma family, they wished they could grow ears to hear it clearly.
Facing the accusation, Boss Ma remained silent for a while before speaking: "Little sister, I know you need money to pay off your gambling debts, but you don't have to..."
"Little sister, we are a family."
Ma Laoer squinted his eyes, hoping that Ma Xiaoqin would not betray the Ma family.
Anyway, the old man and Zhang are gone now, why not divide the money among the three siblings? Why did they have to fight until their heads were broken and blood was shed, and in the end the family property was taken advantage of by outsiders.
Old Madam Ma pointed at Ma Xiaoqin's face and cursed: "You stupid girl, I shouldn't have given birth to you. You should have drowned in the toilet. You are a money-loser who only knows how to eat and drink at your mother's house. In the end, you still want to fight with your eldest brother for the family property!"
Originally, Ma Xiaoqin had already been somewhat shaken for the sake of money, but was sobered up by the scolding from her mother, Old Lady Ma.
Even if Boss Ma is saved and the three siblings are reunited, the money will never fall into the hands of Ma Xiaoqin!
If you want wealth, you have to tell the truth and send the cruel people to jail!
Ma Xiaoqin risked her life, smiled coldly, hid behind the official and said, "Sir, Boss Ma conspired with Zhang to kill Dad."
"As for Zhang's death, it should have been Boss Ma who did it."
Ma Xiaoqin closed her eyes, no longer looking at the Ma family's vicious eyes, and gritted her teeth.
This time, after a brief silence, the courtroom exploded again.
The prefect felt that this case was difficult and wanted to leave a good impression on Jiang Yuzhu, so he asked very carefully: "Ma Xiaoqin, do you have any evidence?"
"Does what you heard with your own ears count as evidence?"
Ma Xiaoqin sneered and fell into memories, "A few days before my father died, one night, I lost money in a bet with my husband and wanted to go back to my mother's house for some food and drink."
Whenever she goes back to her parents' home, her parents and brothers all dislike her. Ma Xiaoqin relies on her thick skin to get by.
"It's late, Dad is in the shop, and there must be no one at the gate."
After Ma Xiaoqin finished speaking, she looked at Old Lady Ma and beat her mother and the doorman to death.
Before Old Madam Ma could start to curse, Ma Xiaoqin continued, "I have the key to the back door. I wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, but when I saw my eldest brother go to the backyard, I went straight to Zhang's house."
Boss Ma and Zhang are having an affair, and the whole family knows it.
Later, Old Man Ma took over the Zhang family. Boss Ma maintained the image of an honest man and did not say a word when he was bullied.
"I was still thinking at the time that Boss Ma was not as honest as I thought."
Ma Xiaoqin was cautious and followed Boss Ma to eavesdrop at Zhang's house.
After making love, Boss Ma and Zhang leaned against the window and talked.
"Dad has a mistress in North Street. He gave all his money and property to that slutty vixen in North Street. He doesn't plan to leave a single penny for us three siblings."
When Ma Xiaoqin heard this, her interests were affected and she almost went up to question him.
After enduring for a long time, Ma Xiaoqin finally calmed down and eavesdropped. The more she listened, the more frightened she became.
"Boss Ma said he got some medicine powder and asked Zhang to add it to Daddy's tea."
Old Man Ma has the habit of drinking tea after work, and he drinks a lot of tea every time.
Besides that, I like the smell of incense.
"Boss Ma will be in charge of the incense and powder. After the matter is completed, he will marry Zhang. The two of them will take a large sum of money and run away to live a comfortable life."
Later, Ma Xiaoqin didn't dare to listen to what the two discussed.
She discussed it with her husband, and they decided not to expose the matter and just wait and see what would happen.
"Dad has been a miser all his life, and I'm thinking that if he dies, maybe I can get a share of the family property. You're really blinded by greed!"
After Old Man Ma passed away, Ma Xiaoqin stayed at her mother's house and refused to leave.
That night, she couldn't sleep and was thinking about going to the kitchen to make something to eat, when she saw a sneaky shadow in front of her.
"Boss Ma dug a hole under the tree and buried the charcoal in it."
This time, Ma Xiaoqin noticed it again, and she felt a chill down her spine.
"I specifically told my husband not to let anyone know. With Boss Ma's viciousness, we might be the next target."
So, just a few hours later, Ma Xiaoqin witnessed Zhang's hanging again.
However, she did see it with her own eyes and no one forced Zhang.
"Nonsense, that's not happening!"
Ma Xiaoqin's husband was kicked in the mouth by a horse hoof. The doctor took him down to get a bandage. When he was carried to the court, he heard what Ma Xiaoqin said and said angrily, "You are lying!"
"Sir, this woman is crazy. She and I didn't see Zhang and my elder brother having an affair that day, so how could we have eavesdropped on their conversation? The horse was startled today by accident, not intentionally."
Waizui spoke up for Boss Ma and tried his best to prove his innocence. The couple each insisted on their own opinion.
Ma Xiaoqin couldn't stand it anymore and cried, "I haven't had a good day since I married into your Feng family. You betrayed me for the benefits given by Boss Ma and even wanted to kill me. You are so heartless!"
Ma Xiaoqin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Sir, Ma Xiaoqin is willing to swear that what I said is not false at all, otherwise I will be reborn as an animal in my next life!"
After swearing, Ma Xiaoqin turned her head and smiled sinisterly: "Mom, second brother, you are not completely unaware of this, right?"
Now it’s Ma Xiaoqin’s turn. Isn’t the next one Ma Laoer?
The fewer people left in the Ma family, the more money was left.
"Second brother, what do you know? If you don't tell me, you will have no chance!"
Ma Xiaoqin kept encouraging him, and Ma Laoer looked thoughtful, as if he was somewhat moved.
Originally, as long as it didn't affect his interests, Ma Laoer didn't want to care too much, he respected his eldest brother very much.
Now that Ma Xiaoqin was almost silenced, the balance in Ma Laoer's heart was tilted.
"Sir, I do know some secrets, but I don't know if they are related to the death of my father and Zhang."
Ma Laoer took a step forward, ignoring the sharp gaze from his mother, Old Lady Ma.
"Big brother is not Daddy's son, but the old man at the gate's."
After throwing a bomb, Ma Lao Er still felt unsatisfied and said, "The concubine in North Street gave birth to a son, but he is not my father's, but my eldest brother's."
The mistress had been having an affair with Ma Lao Da for a long time, but Ma Lao Er had never expected that the property on North Street was actually under the name of Old Man Ma. He thought that his father was stingy and the house must be rented.
"The concubine ran away with her son. It must be my eldest brother who tipped off the family and hid them!"
After Ma Laoer finished speaking, the court fell silent as everyone was digesting the words.
This tortuous relationship is too complicated!
