Ma has two tasks in total:

First, make peace with the scumbag Gu Jingyuan, but not get a trace of infamy;

Second, take good care of your parents and children so that they can have a stable and prosperous life.

The emperor suddenly had his own biological son. The prince of Qi could not adopt the son, and the prince's family even wanted to be involved in the dispute over the heir apparent.

The eldest son who has become the companion of Prince Qi's son cannot escape easily.

The second task seems to have a possibility of failure.

"..." Ma gritted her teeth, she must seize the first task.

Previously, she sent people to follow Gu Jingyuan in order to catch him one day.

However, she had been busy with the affairs of Prince Qi's palace and ignored it for the time being.

Now——

What I didn’t say was just one word—catch the traitor!

Ma took his men and went to the medicinal food shop with great force.

However, she has not completely lost her mind.

Before heading to the yard behind the shop, she first ordered Jade to go to the front shop to check out the situation.

"Young lady, I've seen this, and the bitch is not in the shop."

"The slave also asked the man and said that she just returned to the backyard!"

"Young madam, that bitch must have gone to have a private meeting with the third young master. Humph, they are so presumptuous and shameless!"

Jade's face turned red with anger and she kept talking in Ma's ear.

Ma was impatient to hear this. She had been fishing before.

Now that the fish has taken the bait, she just wants to close the net as soon as possible.

"Let's go! Go to the backyard!"

Ma glanced at the bustling medicinal food shop, her eyes dark and inexplicable.

It must be said that the emperor acted very cautiously. Every time he came to get medicine, he always asked his personal guard Gu Jingyuan to come.

When the neighbors or passers-by saw him, they only made guesses about relevant matters and never thought that he was actually working for the emperor.

The people arranged by Ma to follow Gu Jingyuan found nothing unusual.

He squatted in the corner, keeping a close eye on the closed back door.

From the corner of his eye, he saw his master leading someone to kill him, and he hurriedly went to meet him, "Report to the young lady, I have been guarding the door, and the third young master has not come out!"

For some reason, the man added, "No one went in, it seemed like there were only two of them in the room all the time!"

Ahem, a man and a woman alone live in the same room.

what are they doing?

You can figure it out with your toes.

"Young Madam, they, they have gone too far!"

It's still daytime now.

Bai Rixuan’s stuff is so embarrassing!

Jade was angry and ashamed. She wished she could just rush into the yard and drag out the couple who had a secret meeting and beat them up.

Ma was very calm inside, without any anger at all.

She was really looking forward to it: it would be best if she could catch him in bed, so that she could make a smooth divorce.

When such a scandal occurs in the family, Ma can also take the opportunity to pull his son out of the circle of right and wrong in Prince Qi's palace.

At worst, I will not pursue an official career in the future and become a rich man with land and money. That should be considered as completing the task!

On the way to "catch the adulterer", Ma had already controlled her emotions and alienated all the situations in her mind.

She finally found a way to break the situation - make trouble!

Then they caught the reason for the rape and made a big fuss.

Maybe my reputation will be affected, and even my three children will be criticized.

But, it's better than failing her mission.

"Ma Xin, go over the wall and go to the window to listen!"

Ma made a decision in her heart and acted more thoughtfully.

When she arrived at the backyard, she did not rush in with great fanfare, but wanted to further understand the situation.

"Yes, young madam!"

The boy Ma Xin agreed, looked carefully, found a good wall to climb on, and climbed over it deftly.

Plop!

When Ma Xin landed, the sound was a little loud. He was very smart. After making the sound, he meowed a few times.

A woman's voice came faintly from the room, "...it turns out to be a wild cat!"

Ma Xin breathed out secretly, then he tiptoed close to the window, put his ear to the window paper, and listened carefully——

"Oh, please be gentle!"

"...A'Dian, you are so awesome!"

"Be careful, oh, Gu Jingyuan, why are you so clumsy?"

"I'm sorry, A'Dian, I didn't mean it. But, A'Dian, you are really amazing. I, I have never seen a woman like you -"

If you listen to this conversation in another context, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

However, Ma Xin was preconceived and thought that the man and woman in the house were having an affair. After hearing these words, he thought even more wrongly.

He did not continue to listen, fearing that no matter how much he listened, he would not be able to bear it anymore.

After swallowing secretly, Ma Xin tiptoed to the door of the courtyard.

He didn't stupidly climb over the wall again, but opened the door latch directly from the inside.

"Young madam, I only heard the voices of the third young master and He's daughter."

"They, they-"

Ma Xin didn't know whether he should speak directly about the conversation between the two, so he hesitated.

There was no fool present. The more Ma Xin hesitated to speak and his eyes dodge, the angrier Feicui and the others became.

"Young Madam——" It's too much, I can't bear it!

Jade couldn't wait to roll up her sleeves immediately.

Ma didn't hesitate any longer, with a cold face, she said in a cold voice: "Let's go!"

Catch the rapist!

A group of people burst into the courtyard in a mighty manner without any concern about the impact.

Ma didn't make any fuss, but the commotion still caused neighbors and passers-by to gather outside the courtyard gate.

Bang!

Ma Xin stepped forward and kicked open the closed door.

Ma and others rushed in directly.

Among the people eating melons at the back, some were very lively and brave, and they actually broke into the yard.

They poked their heads around, talked a lot, and paid close attention to the progress of the "suspected rape scene".

"Oh, whose noble lady is this? She came here to catch someone raping her?"

"What are you trying to catch? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. This is the home of the lady of the house!"

"Medicine Lady? Is she the Guanyin who gives birth to children?"

"Bah! What a gift to Guanyin? Before, I thought she was too coquettish and not a good person, and there was always a man coming to find her. Now it seems that she is indeed a vixen!"

"...Mother Chen Kang, I think you are deliberately slandering the Lady of Medicinal Food. Who doesn't know that you, your ex-daughter-in-law who divorced because she had no children, just gave birth to a big fat boy? Your son is so embarrassed

I dare not see anyone for months, but you don’t say it’s your son’s fault for being deceived, but you say bad things about the lady with herbal medicine!”

In the crowd, several people living nearby pointed.

Gu He

One of them, a mean woman in her fifties, was irritated and annoyed when her acquaintances and neighbors crowded around her.

"When did I slander someone? Aren't the people in front of me here to catch adulterers?"

"Hmph, I want to see with my own eyes whether the lady who you regard as herbal medicine as a gift from your ancestors is being kept naked on the kang by someone else's head lady!"
