After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

When Yuxiu and Cui returned to the inn, the waiter tactfully brought them hot water. Yuxiu gave him a handful of copper coins as usual before closing the door.

"Mom, just leave the water here. You can go in there later to wash and rest."

Yuxiu had already made up her mind to go out and do something at night. Of course, she was worried about Cui staying here alone, so she wanted to keep her by her side.

"That's fine too. You must be careful and don't leave any evidence behind."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Cui now knows her daughter's temper very well. She didn't have the chance to deal with those people in public before, so how could she just let it go?

"Don't worry, mom. I know what's going on."

Yuxiu agreed and went up to check the door of the room. She blew out the oil lamp in the room and brought Cui into the space in the dark. In order to avoid any accidents at night, she also lit a stick of incense in the room.

This incense is non-toxic to the human body, but just one breath will cause you to instantly lose your sensitivity.

If there really was someone so blind as to sneak into their house in the middle of the night, he would be knocked to the ground and it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape.

After completing several tasks in a row, Yuxiu's spatial teleportation skill had been upgraded several times. Going to the City Lord's Mansion was no problem at all, so she did not hesitate any more and left the inn quietly.

In the city lord's mansion.

"Cui'er, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Ma Jiaorong struggled to sit up from the bed. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed and her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. She looked very weak.

She fainted as soon as she was sent back to the backyard today. Not only did she quickly develop a high fever, but she also kept talking nonsense.

City Lord Ma asked a doctor to come and see her. The doctor said that she was too frightened and had been outside sweating all over and was blown by the cold wind, which led to her high fever. However, it was not serious. The old doctor gave her a few injections and prescribed some medicine for her.

"Miss, your fever has finally subsided."

The little girl named Cui'er was looking outside. When she heard her mistress talking, she quickly came over with a glass of water and helped her drink it. Then she said with a bad look:

"It's my uncle...he..."

Cui'er didn't know what to say. Although her uncle didn't have a good reputation outside, he was very close to her young lady. If she said anything bad about him, her young lady would definitely be unhappy.

"My little uncle got into trouble outside again, didn't he?"

Before Cui'er was embarrassed for long, Ma Jiaorong had already understood that although her uncle was not her biological uncle, he was her mother's younger brother. If we really talk about it from her biological mother's side, he could be considered her cousin.

Besides, he had been very nice to her over the years, often sending her some rare stuff he had collected from outside. Every time, he would send them to his yard first, and after she had chosen one, he would send them to the yards of her younger brothers and sisters. So Ma Jiaorong would be more tolerant of his affairs.

Cui'er opened her mouth and wanted to say that the uncle had met the young lady's savior this time, and it was not easy to offend both sides, and she didn't know how the young lady should choose.

"Why do I hear my mother crying? Help me up and I will go out and take a look myself."

Ma Jiaorong listened carefully and then struggled to get out of bed.

This little uncle is really a worry. He is either fighting outside or falling for some widow. He just stirs up trouble and has no ability to deal with it. Every time, my mother has to follow him to clean up the mess.

But before, she could just give some silver to get rid of the matter. She had never heard her mother cry so sadly.

"But young lady, you have just been sweating so much, you should wash up quickly. As for those things outside, don't worry about them for now, the master and the mistress are handling everything."

Seeing that her young lady was really going out, Cui'er was afraid that she would be in a dilemma, so she wanted to change the subject first. Maybe after she finished washing up, the things outside would have been settled?

Ma Jiaorong thought about it and felt that what Cui'er said was right, so she asked Cui'er to help her wash up. Then she went to check on Liu'er and Chun'er who were in danger with her today. Seeing that they were fine, she relaxed and went to bed again in a daze.

When Yuxiu came over, Ma Jiaorong had just drunk a bowl of medicine with Cui'er's help. Although the fever was not very severe at this time, her face was still red. She was also dizzy and couldn't open her eyes.

Seeing that she was really sick, Yuxiu's unhappiness dissipated a little. She thought that this girl was deliberately avoiding her, but she didn't expect that she would become so seriously ill in such a short time.

The little maid Cui'er went downstairs with the basin of water. Yuxiu walked around the room. This was a women's boudoir that looked very wealthy. Whether it was the furnishings in the room or the bed curtains, bedding and other items, they were all brightly colored.

Although there are many styles of accessories on the dressing table, it can be seen that they are all small gadgets and there is not a single valuable item to be seen.

Yuxiu curled her lips. This girl was really pitiful. Forget it, she would not bother with her any more.

She turned and left Ma Jiaorong's room, walked along the long corridor, and passed through a moon-shaped gate. She saw a dozen maids and old women standing at the gate of a courtyard. They all had their heads lowered and looked as if they were afraid to speak.

"Dad... please forgive mother this time. She definitely didn't do it on purpose..."

“Wuwuwu…Dad…don’t…I don’t want Mom to leave…”

"Dad...Lian'er wants mom..."

A shrill cry was heard from the yard. Yuxiu's heart moved and she quickly slipped into the space. Then she moved again and appeared on the roof.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound of broken porcelain from below, followed by a man's scolding:

"This is a matter between adults. You are still young, so don't get involved. Go back to your own room!"

When Yuxiu heard the voice was from City Lord Ma, she quickly lifted a tile on the roof and took in the performance of everyone below.

There was little Zhang who collapsed on the ground with tears all over her face, City Lord Ma who was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, as well as two young boys of eight or nine years old and a little girl of five or six years old.

So these are the five members of the Ma family, all holding a meeting here.

It was not in vain that Xiao Zhang gave birth to three children in the Ma family. Yuxiu saw it clearly. She took advantage of City Lord Ma's inattention and kept winking at her two sons. The two sons immediately threw themselves on City Lord Ma's legs, crying and making a fuss, and kept pulling at his clothes to beg.
