I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 182 Ma Qi's Disappointment

As Niu Hulu was talking, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said with a heartbroken look: "Master, why do you want to take our daughter's place? What should we do if our daughter comes back in the future?"

Fucha Yunxia pursed her lips, held Niu Hulu with both hands, and said softly: "Mother, please stop crying. You haven't been feeling well recently. You can't cry like this anymore!"

If it were in the past, Ma Qi might still feel distressed, but now, Ma Qi looked at Niu Hulu with suspicion. After what happened in August, Ma Qi could no longer trust his wife wholeheartedly.

Ma Qi might not believe what Lao Ba said, but Yun Yan's words made him believe it! Moreover, he had no grudges against Lao Ba in the past, so he really couldn't understand why Lao Ba would destroy the harmony of his family!

The older Fultons found it very strange when they saw their father's expression. According to previous situations, their father should have comforted their mother softly at this time. Why was his reaction so strange this time?

Even Niu Hulu's heart began to beat wildly when she saw Ma Qi's suspicious look. She felt as if Ma Qi had seen through her. But soon, her mentality recovered and she pretended to be confused!

Ma Qi: "Alright, this is not something you can discuss. Fuldun, just go and do what you need to do! I have something to discuss with your mother, so get out of here!"

Fulton and the others looked at the Mazzis with worry, but due to Mazzis's majesty, they could only retreat with sorrow in their hearts!

Ma Qi thought for a moment, and then said to Yunxia, ​​"Yunxia, ​​you should go back too! Your marriage will not change. I never joke with you. Go back to your room and embroider your dowry!"

Yunxia's face immediately turned ugly. Although she was a little worried about her marriage, her father was doubting her intentions, which made Yunxia angry and ashamed!

Yunxia half-knelt with red eyes, suppressing her grievance and said, "Yes, Father..., your daughter will be back soon!"

When Ma Qi saw the aggrieved look on his little daughter's face, he felt a little soft-hearted and moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing and pretended not to see it!

After Yunxia went out, she saw her brother standing at the door. Yunxia was shocked and almost screamed in fear, but Fuxing was quick and covered Yunxia's mouth with his hands!

Fuxing: "Little sister, stop screaming!"

Yunxia nodded and signaled her brother to take her hands away, she was almost suffocating!

Yunxia panted and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid that Ama will find out and punish you?"

Fuliang said indifferently: "Punish me if you want! I just want to see what's going on. How can an orphan girl with unknown origins take my sister's place?"

Yunxia fell silent. She had never seen her elder sister, whom she had never met before. Her elder sister disappeared before she was born. Everything she knew was heard from other people!

When Niu Hulu, who was in the hall, saw Yunxia walk out, her face instantly turned ugly and her tone became sarcastic!

Niu Hulu: "Master, what do you mean by this? You let an outsider take our daughter's place, that's fine, but why are you taking your anger out on our youngest daughter now? I only have this one daughter, are you trying to force me to death?"

Ma Qi frowned instantly and looked at Niu Hulu with a serious face, which made Niu Hulu feel more and more nervous, as if something bad was going to happen!

Niu Hulu suppressed a trace of fear in her heart and said, "Master..., Master, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong!"

Ma Qi clenched the imperial edict in his hand, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "Let me ask you, how did Yunyan disappear in the first place?"

Although Niu Hulu was a little confused as to why her husband suddenly asked this question, she was not afraid. Instead, she said with a sad face, "Master, are you trying to upset me? I know that Master has been blaming me for so many years, blaming me for accidentally losing my daughter!"

Niu Hulu's tears fell instantly, and she looked heartbroken, but a trace of regret flashed in her eyes. Unfortunately, this time, Ma Qi did not miss his daughter like he did before, like Niu Hulu did. Instead, he stared at Niu Hulu, which made Ma Qi see the strangeness in Niu Hulu's eyes!

Ma Qi became angry instantly. At this moment, he no longer had any suspicion towards Lao Ba. After being married for so many years, he knew his wife very well. All these years, it was his fault that he had been blinded by family affection and could not see the truth of the matter!

Ma Qi shouted angrily, "How long are you going to pretend? I thought you had changed over the years, but you are still the same as when you were young. Do you really think I don't know what you did behind my back?"

Niugulu's face turned pale in an instant. In more than ten years, she had never been scolded like this by Ma Qi. But this time, he suddenly scolded her so harshly. Niugulu soon became angry and embarrassed!

Niu Hulu shouted angrily: "Master, what do you mean by this? What do you mean I have been pretending for so many years? My daughter is missing, shouldn't I be sad? Is it just because of my careless mistake? Are you going to put all the blame on me? If we talk about mistakes, you were also wrong at the beginning!"

Niu Gulu: "If you hadn't favored that bitch and caused her to try to harm me time and time again, I wouldn't be in such a bad mood, and my Yan'er wouldn't have pestered me to go out and play because she felt sorry for me!"

Ma Qi's eyes were full of disappointment. This was the first time he realized that his wife was not what he had imagined!

Ma Qi: "Do you really want to talk to me about what happened back then? Do you really think I don't know that you gave her a sterilizing powder? If it weren't for you, how could I have compensated her out of guilt?"

Ma Qi's words were like a bolt from the blue to Niu Hulu. She had thought of countless reasons back then, but she had never thought of this reason. It turned out that she had pushed her husband to someone else with her own hands!

Niu Hulu could not accept this answer. She could accept her failure, but she could not accept that it was because of herself.

Niu Hulu kept shaking her head and said, "You lied to me... You lied to me. It's been more than ten years since this happened. That bitch has long been dead. Of course, you have the final say. Anyway, there's no one to testify!"
