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

You have to know that for so many years she has always respected Xiao Zhang as her own mother, and loved her three children as her own brothers and sisters.

She never expected that the woman who was so caring towards her on a daily basis actually had such a vicious mind behind her back.

The more Ma Jiaorong thought about it, the angrier she became. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet her savior yesterday, she would have been taken away by those people. She couldn't even imagine the consequences.

If she wasn't unable to break free at this moment, she would have wanted to rush to Xiao Zhang and ask her why she treated her like this.

Yuxiu didn't ask Xiao Zhang why she did this. Why else could she do this?

Anyway, she just disliked the child born by the previous one. Besides, if Ma Jiaorong died, all the things in this mansion would belong to her children. Maybe Ma Jiaorong's mother still had a lot of dowry, which could also fall into her hands...

Thinking of the dowry, Yuxiu's heart suddenly moved, and she pinched her throat and said:

"Haha... you're not being honest, are you? Then don't blame me for starting with your son..."

"No, no... Great hero, please spare my life. I am telling the truth. If I lied, please let me be struck by lightning..."

Seeing the bright light of the dagger flashing through the air and heading towards her child, little Zhang was almost scared to death and quickly spoke out to stop it.

"Don't think I don't know. Ma Jiaorong's mother's death...is not that simple..."

Yuxiu was not sure what the truth was, but thinking of the plots in those TV dramas, she wanted to test Xiao Zhang. If she really did nothing, then it would be fine.

"You can't blame me entirely. My cousin has always been better than me since she was a child. Even after she grew up and got engaged, she was able to marry the man she loved. I..."

Little Zhang was reminded of the memories of more than ten years ago. At that time, City Lord Ma was still a small county magistrate, and their Zhang family was a wealthy family in the county. The two families had close contacts. If County Magistrate Ma wanted to manage the people well, he could not do without the strong support of the Zhang family. If the Zhang family wanted to expand their business, they naturally had to hold on to his thigh tightly.

It just so happened that Ma Jiaorong's biological mother, Zhang, was very beautiful and well-educated. The then County Magistrate Ma fell deeply in love with her after only meeting her twice. He immediately asked a matchmaker to go to the Zhang family and arrange their marriage.

At that time, little Zhang was still a young girl who had not yet reached college age. Even though she was interested in Magistrate Ma, she knew that this marriage would not be hers. She could only envy and hate him in secret. She cursed her cousin countless times, hoping that she would die.

Later, when she reached the age to get married, no man caught her eye. She felt that no one could compare to her cousin-in-law, Magistrate Ma.

At that time, Da Zhang had already given birth to Ma Jiaorong. She took this opportunity to go in and out of the Ma family many times. The more she looked, the more she envied her cousin's good marriage, and she began to think about replacing her.

The opportunity soon came. The cousin, who was also Da Zhang's father, encountered bandits when he took his two cousins ​​out to purchase goods. All three of them, father and son, were hacked to death on the spot. After the cousin's wife learned the news, she could not bear it and followed them that night.

So the elder Zhang went home to attend the funeral and deal with the aftermath. The younger Zhang took advantage of her cousin's grief and slowly put medicine in her food and drink. By the time she finished her business and returned to the Ma family, the elder Zhang was almost dying.

At that time, Xiao Zhang went to the Ma family under the pretext of taking care of her cousin, and soon took care of the person to the point of death.

The following events quickly went smoothly and everything developed according to Xiao Zhang's plan.

Little Zhang just thought that the person on the other side had really found out everything and had no intention of hiding anything. In addition, she was afraid that her son would get hurt, so she told him everything about the past.

Yuxiu squeezed the recorder she had prepared in advance, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

Listening to the obviously more rapid breathing in the inner room, she knew that Ma Jiaorong had heard everything in her heart, so she kicked Xiao Zhang again and lowered her voice and shouted:

"You didn't do these things alone, did you? Tell me everything clearly!"

Xiao Zhang had no choice but to tell her parents that they also knew about the incident and were involved.

Seeing that she had almost finished talking, Yuxiu smiled with satisfaction, turned off the recorder, sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on Xiao Zhang's face, and knocked her down.

Ma Jiaorong inside was treated the same way. She was carried back by Yuxiu while she was unconscious and put on the bed. The quilt was also considerately pulled up for her.

It was already late at night. Yuxiu found the courtyard that City Lord Ma had visited before and discovered that it was a guest room. Indeed, the person living there was Xiao Zhang's younger brother.

The wound on his arm had been bandaged, and his head was wrapped like a pig's head. It might be too painful, and even in his sleep, he would groan in pain from time to time.

Yuxiu tore a piece of sheet and stuffed it into his mouth. When he began to struggle in fear, she took out the big hoe that had been used in battles and hit his legs twice.

Hehe, you bastard, let’s see if you dare to go out and bully men and women in the future.

Zhang's uncle fainted from the severe pain, but Yuxiu didn't care about him. She couldn't see him in the dark anyway, so she packed up her things and ran away.

Touching the recorder in her sleeve, Yuxiu came to City Lord Ma's yard. This was the front yard, and there were many guards patrolling with lanterns. She didn't think about going in. She rolled her eyes and flashed to the roof of the room where City Lord Ma was sleeping.

Turn on the recorder and let it play, Xiao Zhang's voice quickly spread.

"…Why should she occupy the position of the legitimate daughter? As a mother, I must think about my own daughter, so I must get rid of her…"

Little Zhang's voice was trembling as it reached the ears of everyone in the mansion in the silent night. The ones who heard it most clearly were City Lord Ma and the patrolling guards.

The group didn't care about being shocked and quickly surrounded the roof where Yuxiu was. However, when they climbed up and looked, the roof was empty, without even a ghost in sight.

"...My cousin has been enjoying it for so many years anyway, so why not let me, her younger sister, enjoy it for a few days..."

Xiao Zhang's voice continued to ring. Thinking that it was already late at night, could the mansion be haunted?

The guards were terrified and climbed onto the roof to search, but still found nothing. Just when they didn't know what to do, City Lord Ma came out with a dark face.

Yuxiu no longer paid attention to what happened next. She asked the small system to show her the way, and soon arrived at the Zhang family compound in the city.
