Geng Xingshuang knew that Ma San wouldn't say anything easily, but he didn't expect that after thirty minutes, he would still grit his teeth and not speak.
A coachman, what supports him to have such a firm will.
Geng Xingshuang was very curious.
"Uncle, madam, the second wife, the third girl, the fourth girl, and the fifth girl are here!"
Geng Xingchen looked at Geng Xingshuang, a little worried.
Geng Xingshuang shook her head and said it didn't matter. She had a hunch that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of Ma San's mouth today.
"Let them in!" Geng Xun said calmly.
He already had a guess in his mind as to who did what happened today, but he just couldn't figure out why he did it.
Xia took Geng Xingshui, Geng Xingbing, and Geng Xingyu into the courtyard.
Seeing the beaten and dying Ma San in the yard, Xia's mother and daughter took a few steps back in fright.
"What...what's going on?"
Geng Xun naturally would not open his mouth to explain to his daughter-in-law. Xia was in a bad mood and was too lazy to speak.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Ruan was about to speak when she heard Geng Yan let out a heavy "hum".
"What's going on? Doesn't the second sister-in-law know?"
Yao was stunned, "What does Third Uncle mean by this? What should I know?"
Geng Xingshuang was also a little dazed. Looking at her second aunt's appearance, she seemed to really know nothing, but... is it possible?
Could it be that I guessed wrongly? This matter has nothing to do with the second room.
In fact, she speculated that Ma San was instructed by her second wife to harm herself and Geng Xingchen. This speculation was always missing the most important link, which was the motive, why they did what they did.
The only thing she could think of was for Geng Xingbing, which was why the sudden close relationship between Geng Xingbing and Yang Zhen when they were at Yang's house today made her suspicious.
But Geng Xingshuang couldn't figure out why the relationship between Geng Xingbing and Yang Zhen suddenly became close, and how this was related to what happened to him and his seventh sister today.
It seems that there is not one missing link, but several missing links.
Or it's because I got too little information.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not enough to use Cao Tian to inquire outside. She did it for prevention before. At that time, no matter what the second wife and Mrs. Bo wanted to do, the most they wanted to do was to take advantage of the maids around her and the money of the first house. Now this It was obvious that he had used the trick on her, but his eyes were still dark. This situation was really dangerous.
If her second brother hadn't sent anyone over yet, she decided to find someone herself, either choosing one or two more from Zhuangzi, or asking Sister Yan to borrow someone.
Geng Xingshuang's thoughts were distracted, but Geng Yan did not continue to quarrel with the second wife. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that as a brother-in-law, he could not quarrel with his sister-in-law. He glared at his wife, this is useless. He only knows how to run around the house.
Ms. Jiang was stared at in confusion by her husband.
In the end, Ruan patiently explained the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yao was shocked. She really didn't know about this, but...but she had a feeling that it should be her husband's handiwork.
But why? Is it just so that Sister Bing can successfully marry into the Yang family, but the son-in-law he agreed with Mr. Yang San is Fourth Master Yang, Yang Qingcheng. What does it have to do with Sister Shuang? In addition to Sister Shuang, there is also Sister Chen. , even less relevant.
Yao looked at her daughter. Geng Xingbing should already know what happened to Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen in the Yang family. She just didn't know that Ma San was beaten like this. This was something she didn't expect. One of the main things that happened was The person she didn't expect was Jiang Xuefu.
Jiang Xuefu made the whole thing go astray, while Geng Xingbing was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath and make up for it.
Of course, her compensation was not to make up for Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, but someone else.
But we have to deal with the matter at hand first.
When Ruan was explaining the whole incident to Yao, she stepped forward and took Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen's hands, looking guilty.
"Sixth sister, seventh sister, I didn't know about you until later...you almost... After I learned about it, I and the fifth sister rushed back immediately. Today's matter was indeed too dangerous. Uncle Ma... was too careless. , if the elder brother knew that he was sent back to the academy, he would definitely also..."
"Fourth sister, this has nothing to do with eldest brother. We can use the carriage at home, and eldest brother can naturally use it too. One code equals the other. No one's fault can be run away, and no one's fault can be blamed. Press up.”
Geng Xingshuang's voice was not loud, but her words were not very soft. As she spoke, she gently pulled her hand away from Geng Xingbing's hand, and Geng Xingchen immediately pulled his hand away.
Originally, because of Geng Xingbing's words, he thought of his eldest grandson and wanted to make this matter a trivial matter. Geng Xun couldn't help but nodded. This matter indeed has nothing to do with his eldest grandson. We can't force it on him. Brother Lou is going to do it this year. For those who participate in Qiu Wei, nothing can distract him.
Ma San has always been unwilling to admit that someone was behind it, and only admitted that it was his own negligence that caused the accident. Although the first and third bedrooms all speculated that it was related to the second bedroom, if Ma San did not identify it, there would be no evidence.
"You haven't changed your mind even after being severely punished. I think Sister Shuang and Sister Chen are overthinking this matter. You guys are right to value your daughter, but you can't be carried away by anger. This matter is the fault of Ma Sanzhi." However, I’ve already beaten him thirty times, I think I’ll fine him another year’s monthly payment, and if he makes another mistake in the future, I’ll sell him directly!”
Xia had a headache from the noise, and she rubbed her forehead and reluctantly decided what to do with Ma San.
Geng Xun nodded and finally concluded, "That's it!"
"etc!"
Geng Wen, Ruan Shi, and Geng Yan spoke out almost at the same time.
Xia's brows furrowed. She was not surprised that Geng Yan would be dissatisfied with her decision and refuted her on the spot. However, Geng Wen and Ruan, a couple, have always been reasonable. Although today's matter is a bit strange, nothing has been found out so far. With the temperament of these two people, they should recognize it.
"What? My words have no effect in this family, so no one listens to your father's words!"
Xia reprimanded in a deep voice, but her eyes were fixed on Ruan.
"Even if Ma San told the truth, he didn't mean it, and he wasn't assigned. It was just because he was too careless, didn't check the horseshoes, and didn't discover the problem in time that what happened today happened. Father, mother, you Have you ever thought about what Sister Shuang and Sister Chen would have faced if there hadn't been Miss Jiang today? With such a mistake and such gentle handling, when did our uncle's house become so unruly?"
Geng Wen's voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it was sonorous and powerful and could not be ignored.
Geng Xingshuang feels that her father seems to be a little different from before. He is still so gentle and likes to reason. He is not like a martial artist, but like a scholar who has read poetry and books. But now he can argue with reason and fight for her. The daughter argued hard.
Xia wanted to refute, but found that she didn't know how to refute. Indeed, Ma San was beaten thirty times and fined a year's worth of silver. However, these punishments were indeed somewhat different from how she punished servants who made mistakes in the past. In and out.
"Then what do you think we should do with Ma San?"
Geng Xun wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible. He also expected that the eldest son's solution would be to give him another beating or fine him some more silver. This was nothing. Ma San really deserved to be punished.
Even Ma San thinks so. He is not even afraid of selling. Anyway, he can buy it back after selling. He has relied on this idea to survive until now. Now it is finally almost over. He is glad in his heart that he can hold on. , maybe next, he can live the life he wants.
