Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2170

Unexpectedly, Ma Chuyi, the eldest son of Old Ma, was a man of integrity. He was disgusted by his father and wanted to reject his father's provocation with a righteous look.

He was furious when he heard that his father was going to hit his mother. That was because he wasn't there at the time. If he had been there, he would have definitely kicked her again.

But Ma Chuyi has a wife, Ming Zhao, who is more calculating than General Ma. When she heard that her husband wanted to refuse General Ma’s “inheritance”, what could she do?

"It's father who is wrong, but there's nothing wrong with the land and money. Why should you refuse it? Isn't it better to keep it? If he wants to give it to us, we will take it. If you don't take it, you will have to see him off to the end of his life in the future." Ming Zhao's abacus beads almost hit her husband's face.

However, Ma Chuyi had been married to Ming Zhao for many years, and he knew that although his wife loved money, she never did anything reckless. If she said that, she must have a reason. "What are you going to do?"

"Just accept it. What else can we do? Father wants to sow discord between us and my second brother and his wife. We can just take the money he gives and give it to my second brother and his family. Plus, mother will treat him well and make him mad! Besides..." Ming Zhao said with a shrewd look on his face, "If we refuse so much of the family property, those blood-sucking leeches from your Ma family will be clamoring for it. Why should we let them get away with it? Your last name is Ma, and your children's are also Ma. We are qualified to take this money. Otherwise, just change your surname to Ming."

When Ma Chuyi heard his wife's words, his body trembled and his pupils dilated.

I feel that those who listen to their beloved wives will definitely have a smooth life.

Ma Chuyi accepted General Ma's retirement award with peace of mind and sincerity. At the instigation of his beloved wife, even the few times he called "father" sounded particularly sincere.

Old Ma felt comforted, thinking that at least he had a son who was on his side. He was not a man of many ideas, so he happily stayed at Bixia Pass for half a month.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mingzhao, served him attentively and handled everything properly. With the experience of the second daughter-in-law, who was flamboyant and childless, the old general's criticism of Mingzhao's business and social life had mostly faded, and he even felt that a capable daughter-in-law was better than one who only caused trouble.

His grandson was diligent and studious, which gave him hope of restoring the glory of the Ma family; his granddaughter was even more graceful and elegant, not only with a beautiful appearance, but also with a good knowledge of poetry, books and etiquette, and an extraordinary conversation.

The eldest son Chu Yi became more calm and capable, and managed the Bixia Pass military camp in an orderly manner.

In particular, Ming Zhao often spoke well of him in front of his grandchildren, saying, "Grandfather gave you land, property, and money. You must remember this."

The grandchildren all expressed their opinions in front of him, saying that they would be filial to him in the future.

Satisfied, Old Ma handed over his property and returned home, taking only the pair of jade wine vessels with dragon-pattern designs inscribed with the words "Successful Retirement".

It was proof of his life's achievements, so naturally he had to carry it with him.

As soon as Lao Ma left, Ming Zhao sneered, "Just wait and see, your Lao Ma family is about to be turned upside down. When your father returns home, he'll be drunk by his close family members until not a drop of blood is left."

Ma Chuyi felt that his wife was good in every way, except that she kept calling him "your Ma family" or "your dad, your dad", which made him feel uncomfortable.

But he couldn't correct it, because his beloved wife didn't treat his family members as her own.

For example, his beloved wife gets along well with his mother Qin Fangfei, writing to her every few days. She also has a very good relationship with his younger brother Ma Chuyang, and now she is getting along with his sister-in-law Chi Shuang.

Ma Chuyi read Ming Zhao's latest letter. The ink dripped onto the snow-white paper, and it recounted everything that Old Ma had done. It also clearly stated the couple's intentions in accepting the property, without any ambiguity.

The letter ended with, "Zhao Zhao misses you guys so much! Where is your ship at? Why don't we pack up and go after you right now? We can also let the children see what it means to 'read ten thousand books, but not as good as travel ten thousand miles.'"
