Tian Fugui had a feeling that the new housekeeper was strange. He was good to Tian Fugui and his elder brother, but he was always polite and alienated. Tian Fugui didn’t know why his elder brother found such a man to be the housekeeper. In his heart, the old housekeeper was like a relative while this new one is like a guest. Since he knew that his elder brother might be the murderer who killed the old housekeeper, he felt like his heart was weighted with a stone. If it was something else, he could talk to Ma Tian’en. But he didn’t want anyone to know about it. He wanted to ask his elder brother about it several times, but he didn’t know how to begin. If it wasn’t done by his elder brother, he would be very sad when asked about that. But he hadn’t thought that if it was done by Tian Ronghua, the latter would not admit it, either. Tian Fugui, being bored, had not been out of the house recently. Sometimes he played with his two little nephews, and sometimes he read a few books. Compared with the days when he often wandered around and made troubles, he seemed more mature.

One day, Tian Fugui came out of the room. He wanted to go out for a walk as he saw several people going to his brother’s study following the housekeeper. Looking at their very excited expressions, Tian Fugui vaguely felt that it was like his expression after he and Ma Tian’en had done something bad together. He couldn’t help following up, but found that they closed the door tightly after they had entered the study. Tian Fugui wanted to come closer to listen, but he saw a man coming out of the study who was his elder brother’s footboy, and the latter stood at the door. Fugui could not get closer. Were they going to target Ma Tian’en again?

Tian Fugui thought it was necessary to remind Ma Tian’en of that so as to save her from losses. Thinking of this, he hurried to the Ma Family. Unexpectedly, Ma Tian’en was not there, and it was said that she had gone to the wharf. Tian Fugui ran to the wharf again, and saw that Ma Tian’en was chatting with several managers of the wharf and she looked very well. Tian Fugui admired Ma Tian’en from the bottom of his heart. No matter what she did, she was full of enthusiasm.

Seeing Tian Fugui coming, Ma Tian’en was also glad and greeted him warmly. As she came to Tian Fugui, she just punched him and said, “You boy finally come to me, and you don’t take me as a brother, right? These days you do not come out. Do you want to take the examination of top scholars?” Then she lowered her voice and said, “Zuixiang Restaurant has a new kind of liquor. If you invite me to a drink, I will forgive you.”

“Isn’t Zuixiang Restaurant owned by your family? Shall we pay for that?”

“Of course. My father said that we must draw a distinction between public and private affairs. ”

With that, both of them laughed. Tian Fugui felt much more comfortable. He suddenly remembered his intention and looked around, saying to Ma Tian’en: “We have a new housekeeper, you know? I think this man is very strange, and I don’t know his origin. I have asked my brother, but he didn’t tell me. He often talks with my brother in a closed room, and I am even kept away when they are together. You should be careful. “Tian Fugui’s words are full of concern.

“I also think the housekeeper is very strange. I’ve checked before, but I haven’t found anything. Anyway, your brother likes to target our Ma Family, and come what may, I’ll handle it, and I’m not afraid of him. But if it’s convenient for you, please help me to watch out the housekeeper, can you?”

Looking at the candid Ma Tian’en, Tian Fugui suddenly stopped talking, though he was still about to say something. Ma Tian’en punched him again and said: “Out with it. Don’t be bashful.”

Tian Fugui plucked up his courage and said, “It is you who asked me to say. I think you look a little like that housekeeper……oh no, I should say that he looks a little like your father.”

“Poof… What do you say? You mean he is my father’s illegitimate son? ”

“No, no, I just feel they look a little bit like each other. Maybe he’s your relative.”
