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

And when the little girl was not crying, Xiao Zhang secretly pinched her back, which successfully caused the little girl to scream miserably.

"Wow, wow, wow...Lian'er, be good, mother will hug you..."

Little Zhang quickly ran up and held the child in her arms, coaxing him, while looking at City Lord Ma pleadingly.

This scene made Yuxiu laugh. She could imagine that this woman might have relied on this trick to keep City Lord Ma in her control.

"Don't cry, if you really don't want to go to the farm, that's fine. Tomorrow I'll have someone build a Buddhist temple in the backyard, and you can pray for the children there from now on."

As expected, City Lord Ma softened his heart again. Although Jiaorong was his biological daughter, the three children in front of him were also his biological children. He couldn't just watch them lose their mother at such a young age, right?

However, if this woman is not punished, she might become more and more unreasonable and cause even greater trouble in the future.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master... As long as I can be with the children, I will be willing to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day..."

Little Zhang achieved her goal and immediately burst into tears of joy, holding the little girl in her arms and crying even louder.

"From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in Zhang Chengzong's affairs. If he dares to cause trouble again, I will never let him finish it off!"

When City Lord Ma saw the mother and son crying together, he hardened his heart and decided to cut off all contact with the Zhang family. Except for sending some gifts during the New Year and other festivals, he was not allowed to come to the City Lord's Mansion at other times, and he was even more forbidden to abuse the power of the City Lord's Mansion to bully others outside.

Zhang Chengzong is Xiao Zhang's biological brother. Hearing her master being so cruel, her eyes flashed and she quickly nodded and agreed.

We’ll talk about the future later, let’s just get through this one first.

As for the fact that she was locked up in the small Buddhist temple, Xiao Zhang was not afraid at all.

Ma Jiaorong is about to reach adulthood, but she hasn't even been arranged for marriage. If she, as the mistress of the house, doesn't find a way to go out and socialize with those ladies, who can she, a little girl without a mother, rely on?

Thinking of this, little Zhang couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly. Maybe by that time, he would have to beg her to leave the small Buddhist temple.

City Lord Ma was really furious today. The old lady Huang was dragged down and beaten to death on the spot. All the maids and servants in Xiao Zhang's yard were drugged and sold off, and he reassigned some of his own people to serve them.

As for Ma Jiaorong, who was still kept in the dark, the people in the yard were completely replaced, leaving only a few of her personal maids.

City Lord Ma thought that he could rest assured like this, but Yuxiu didn't think so.

If Xiao Zhang dared to attack Ma Jiaorong once, she would dare to do it a second time. There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

But none of this mattered to Yuxiu. She came here just to see the fun and deal with the Zhang siblings.

Seeing that City Lord Ma had already left in a huff, he left behind a few words before leaving, asking Xiao Zhang to pack up quickly and move into the small Buddhist hall early the next morning.

Yuxiu squatted quietly on the roof and saw City Lord Ma leave the yard, walk all the way to the front yard, and enter a not very big yard.

Yuxiu had some guesses in her mind, so she decided to go over and take a look later. She took out a handful of powder from the space and sprinkled it along the crack she had just opened.

The mother and children in the room had just pulled each other to stand up when they felt dizzy again. Their vision went dark and they fell to the ground, fainting.

Yuxiu came down from the roof lightly and looked around the house. This should be Xiao Zhang's own yard. The furnishings in the house were very complete. Unlike Ma Jiaorong's, which were eye-catching, there was a sense of low-key luxury everywhere.

After checking the things in the house, Yuxiu didn't bother to be polite with her and put all the valuable things into the space. Xiao Zhang had a lot of clothes and jewelry, most of which were still new. It seemed that she was living very well here.

After putting away the jewelry on the dressing table, Yuxiu found a bunch of keys on the table, which also had the smell of Old Lady Huang.

However, nothing was locked in the room. Yuxiu walked around the room several times with the key. Finally, she walked out of the room and found a warehouse not far away. It was not very big, but it was full of things.

On one side were some fashionable cloths, and on the other side were several large boxes. When they were opened, they showed gold and silver jewelry, calligraphy and painting ornaments, and even two large boxes filled with round, large Dong pearls.

Yuxiu had seen these many times and didn't care much about them. She thought it was most likely the private vault of Mrs. Zhang, so she took them all away without hesitation.

Thinking that Ma Jiaorong still knew nothing about Xiao Zhang's affairs, Yuxiu thought for a moment and then went back to her boudoir. After knocking the little girl unconscious, she carried the unconscious Ma Jiaorong to Xiao Zhang's room.

When Ma Jiaorong woke up in a daze, she found darkness all around, her hands and feet were tied, her eyes were blindfolded and her mouth was blocked. Thinking of what had happened during the day, she was terrified. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard a voice coming from outside.

"Don't... don't kill him. I'll tell you everything..."

This is my mother's voice. Could she have been arrested along with me?

"We have investigated all your affairs thoroughly. We just want to hear your story for once. If there is any discrepancy between what you say and what I know, I will cut a streak off your son's face..."

"No! No... I absolutely dare not lie..."

Xiao Zhang became anxious and quickly spoke out to stop them, fearing that the person on the other side would really hurt her precious son.

Although the oil lamp in the room was blown out and it was dark everywhere, she could still see clearly the shining dagger in the hand of the person opposite her.

The child was in someone else's hands, so she didn't dare to delay any longer. Anyway, her master had already found out about the matter, so she was not afraid of one more person knowing it.

Moreover, she had lived with City Lord Ma for so many years and knew that he was a very proud person. He would never allow these things to spread outside and would definitely deal with all the people involved.

After hearing Xiao Zhang say with her own mouth that it was she who asked Huang Po to find someone and deliberately disguise them as bandits just to get rid of this annoying person like herself, Ma Jiaorong couldn't stop crying.
