The person from the Ma family is Ma Sizhi.
Ma Sizhi was still wearing official uniform, with a tired look on his face. It seems that the two cases on his hands are not progressing at all.
Ma Sizhi was still receiving Ma Sizhi in the flower hall, but this time, Wu Jiayi did not come out, and it was the two brothers Zhong Youzhi and Zhong Youxiang who were responsible for the reception.
Ma Sizhi also brought a gift, and his handsome face was very sincere: "I'm sorry, Jia Ci is so worried about my marriage. I'm really ashamed to have the temerity to propose marriage today."
Zhong Youzhi and Zhong Youxiang didn't think as fast as Wu Jiayi. When they heard Ma Sizhi's intention, they immediately looked at each other. I originally thought that Qin Xiangxiang's marriage to the Ma family was a sure thing, but they didn't expect that less than two hours after they were happy, the person involved came to express his attitude and did not want Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't even want a widower.
Zhong Youzhi chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." But in his heart, he just wanted to go back to his room and report the matter to his wife.
Ma Sizhi asked, "Did Mrs. Qin feel frightened? I want to apologize to Mrs. Qin in person."
His request was actually against the rules. But Zhong Youzhi agreed: "Ma Si directly invites you." Before his brother-in-law was expelled from the capital, Zhong Youzhi had to look at officials based on their rank. But now that his brother-in-law is in trouble, he has to respect even the ninth rank. .
When Qin Xiang thought of the flower hall, Ma Sizhi was sitting on the rose chair, his eyebrows lowered, holding a cup of tea, and his whole aura was relaxed.
To be honest, Ma Sizhi is quite handsome and tall. If he were ten years younger, he would definitely get many handkerchiefs embroidered beautifully and fragrantly by young ladies when riding horses across the street.
It's a pity that he is a wife-suppressant.
Hong Xiu said that Ma Sizhi has been working as Sizhi of Dali Temple for three years, and this year should be a critical year for assessment. At this time, he should want to solve more cases and then get promoted.
Above the Dali Temple is the Yushitai. On the same day, the Yushitai was destroyed by two imperial officials. If there is a loss, it will be supplemented. It is reasonable for the officials to be ready to take action. After all, an official who doesn't want to be promoted is not a good official.
What if one day, I have bad luck?
Qin Xiangxiang stepped over the threshold. The moment Ma Si Zhi raised his eyes, he showed a gentle smile: "Ms. Qin, we meet again."
He was wearing official uniform, and although he was visiting to apologize, it was natural for him to sit still.
Qin Xiangxiang saluted him: "I have met Ma Sizhi."
Ma Sizhi still smiled gently: "Ms. Qin, I'm really sorry for today. Jia Ci didn't know the situation, which frightened Mrs. Qin."
Qin Xiangxiang also smiled gently, revealing a slight dimple of wine: "Ma Sizhi is very polite. I'm fine."
After she got up, she changed into a set of clothes, but they were still very simple, and the cuffs were even a little white. Her black hair was tied into a bun, and the remaining part was draped over her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly watery, and she looked like she had just woken up. Qin Xiangxiang looks younger than her, only fifteen or sixteen years old.
After Ma Sizhi looked at it, he put down the tea cup, stood up, and nodded to Qin Xiangxiang: "In that case, I'll take my leave."
Qin Xiangxiang did not try to persuade Ma Sizhi to stay, but only saluted him. Ma Sizhi suddenly turned back, took a deep look at Qin Xiangxiang, and then strode away.
As soon as Ma Sizhi left, Mrs. Wang hid in the flowers outside the door and secretly looked at Qin Xiangxiang. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Even a widower like Ma Sizhi refuses to have a eldest wife. Does that mean that the eldest wife will be lost to the Qin family and she will not be able to marry in the future?
Mrs. Wang felt a headache when she thought of this.
If the master and his wife cannot come back for a year and a half, then she will have to serve this little ancestor in the future?
Just thinking, Qin thought about it slowly from the flowers, and suddenly said, "Some people, who thinks that the fox fake tiger power can do it, he can do it to the master, alas, but it is really a dog."
Qin Xiangxiang called her a dog.
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, so she could only grit her teeth and watch Qin Xiangxiang leave unhurriedly.
After being rescued by Ma Sizhi again and again, Qin Xiangxiang actually had some ideas. Is it possible that she and Ma Sizhi really have some fate? However, Ma Sizhi seemed to look down upon her. Is it because I am not beautiful enough? Still the figure is not attractive enough...
Qin Xiangxiang had almost reached his small courtyard. After Ma Sizhi arrived, the two women guarding him disappeared. When she came out, Hongxiu and Tianxiang were sleeping soundly. There was no one around, Qin Xiangxiang couldn't help but lower his head, pinched his waist with both hands, and tried to straighten himself up. Well, the waist is quite thin, but some parts of it are not impressive enough...
"Ms. Qin."
I also blame myself for being too frugal in the past, so I didn’t develop well...
"Ms. Qin."
Qin Xiangxiang woke up suddenly and looked at the dark surroundings warily: "Who?! Who is it?! Stop pretending, this is my Qin family's territory!"
No one responded, and suddenly a gust of hot wind hit her from behind. Before Qin Xiangxiang could react, her hands were clamped and her mouth was covered.
Yaoshou! Has she been too unlucky recently, encountering all these unreasonable things?
The thieves behind him were so powerful that Qin Xiangxiang couldn't move at all.
"Ms. Qin, it's me. Mu Ting."
The man behind him was afraid that she wouldn't hear, so he whispered into her ear. The warm breath made Qin Xiangxiang feel goosebumps.
After Mu Ting finished speaking, he let go of Qin Xiangxiang's grip.
As soon as Qin Xiangxiang got free, he immediately picked up the hem of his skirt and stepped on Mu Ting's feet harshly and unceremoniously.
Mu Ting looked at her inexplicably, then looked down at his feet, a little puzzled: "Ms. Qin, your feet are itchy?"
Well, she forgot that Mu Ting was a rough guy. Her kick was just scratching the surface.
Qin Xiangxiang took back his feet as if nothing had happened and lowered his voice: "Are you crazy? Why did you come to my house? Is Yang Dagui awake?"
Mu Ting shook his head: "Tonight I was exploring Baoxiang Temple at night and was accidentally chased, so I hid near Qin's house."
Qin Xiangxiang was startled, and his voice became louder: "Are you crazy, you are being hunted and hiding in my house? Wait, the person chasing you is not an official of Dali Temple, right?"
Her mind was spinning very fast, and she immediately thought of Ma Sizhi who had just left.
I'm afraid Ma Sizhi didn't come here to apologize, but to test her!
Which official doesn't change into a private server when doing private business? Wearing official uniform to apologize to her? Qin Xiangxiang felt that he didn't have enough brains. Ma Sizhi was actually doubting her?
Mu Ting used some light and saw Qin Xiangxiang's expression changing, and finally turned into a look of shock.
He said slowly: "I saw the official of Dali Temple leaving, so I entered your house."
Qin Xiangxiang was furious: "They're all gone, why do you still come into my house?" If Ma Sizhi turns around and comes back again, isn't he looking for death? Qin Xiangxiang didn't realize at all that she already thought Mu Ting was in the same boat.
Mu Ting still spoke slowly: "I've been poisoned and I really can't support the foot shop..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stumbled towards Qin Xiangxiang.
"Why!"
Qin Xiangxiang's anger suddenly stopped, and her thin body almost couldn't bear Mu Ting's collapse.
"Wake up!" Qin Xiangxiang was choked by Mu Ting. She raised her hand and patted Mu Ting's body randomly, but Mu Ting didn't move at all.
Qin Xiangxiang wanted to cry a little, he wouldn't die like this!
Then her father would be even more unable to clear his suspicions! Wu Dehou's only son was poisoned and died outside her small yard!
Qin Xiangxiang was panicking when someone floated out of the courtyard and stared in horror: "Big, big, big lady?!"
