Chapter 299 Confession
"The affair between old man Ma and his son, Boss Ma, is complicated. 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's was her own investment?"
The people outside the court were all shocked and talking at the same time in a chaotic manner.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned back 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 it was obvious that she had known about it for a long time.
As if she was surprised that the house on North Street was under the name of Old Man Ma, Old Lady Ma paused and said with a gloomy face, "Second brother, your father is gone, and you have a share of the Ma family's property. You slander your own mother like this, and you are innocent?"
"The Ma family's assets have nothing to do with this little girl. In the end, they will belong to you and the boss."
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Mrs. Ma avoided the main issue and never mentioned her eldest son's background. She used the family property to lure him and gave a subtle wink to the second son Ma.
After all, it is a family matter. It will not do any good to the Ma family to say too much in court.
The priority now is to cover up the lie, to make a big thing small, and a small thing nothing.
"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 his allies, Ma Xiaoqin suddenly woke up and shouted, "Second brother, wake up. With Ma Lao Da here, what does the Ma family's money have to do with you?"
The more secrets of the Ma family are uncovered, the more they are revealed. 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 and mother don't love me, a little girl. It turns out that this is the root of the problem!"
Ma Xiaoqin's eyes were filled with hatred. Old Mrs. Ma hated her, not because she favored boys over girls, but because she was Old Man Ma's daughter.
"If my biological father was an old janitor, 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 south, from the same village. Because of a flood, the whole 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 only 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 save his life.
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 all these 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 drank too much and talked to me for a long time, asking me to be more careful of my elder 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 over the years. However, things change unpredictably, and he passed away before the Ma family's property was divided.
"Sir, as to whether the child born out of wedlock is my brother's own, you have to arrest the person and interrogate him first."
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 Old Lady Ma's gloomy face.
When I think about it, although my younger sister is greedy and lazy, she is right. Brothers and sisters are the closest to each other.
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. She kept glancing at the old man at the doorman, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Hongli noticed everyone's expressions and whispered, "Madam, why is this case becoming more and more complicated?"
“Maybe there will be a reversal.”
Jiang Yuzhu narrowed his 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 person 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 messy.
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 got so angry that her eyes went dark and her body swayed.
The doorman nearby hurried forward and held Mrs. Ma considerately. The two of them snuggled up to each other, ignoring the looks of others.
"Dad, Mom, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Old Man Ma is not the father of his son."
Boss Ma was in a stable mood, with no fear in his eyes, only relief from admitting 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 old man Ma. Every time Ma Lao Da saw this, he could not help and was 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. He snatched my mother away from my father. Cuilan and I were in love, and Old Ma forced Cuilan to become his concubine. When I brought Zhang into the family, Old Ma had an affair with Zhang..."
Boss Ma has only two women, and both of them were raped by him.
Just because Old Man Ma is rich and the head of the family, we have to take revenge like this?
As the news became more and more explosive, the officials kept their jaws dropped and their teeth were bared.
The prefect also felt that 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 to Boss Ma to get to the point.
Boss Ma said without hesitation, "What Ma Xiaoqin heard is true. I conspired with 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 powders on the black market.
"When old man Ma was having sex, he took too much medicine, which caused him to hallucinate first and then die suddenly."
Zhang knew all the details.
After hearing this, the prefect asked, "So, in order to keep all the money for yourself, you planned to kill Zhang and silence her?"
“Not really.”
Boss Ma shook his head and said, "If Cao Min had planned it in advance, he wouldn't have secretly buried the charcoal at night and been discovered by Ma Xiaoqin."
