Chapter 7 — Abandoned by the Marquis, I Became the Person Two Young Men Couldn't Compete With

I stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the three faces before me. Marquis Uy Vien was angry. Lam Thi panicked. Khuong Thu Dao was crazy. Suddenly, I burst out laughing.

“Father.”

I spoke up. The voice wasn't loud, but every word was extremely clear.

“Are you sure?”

Uy Vien Hau rolled his eyes at me.

"What else should I say! Do you want to implicate the whole family?"

“Master Marquis, this is what you said yourself.”

I slowly looked around the whole school, taking in all the expressions on each person's face into the bottom of my eyes and then nodded slightly.

“It was said in front of everyone in the capital.”

“Don't regret it.”

Without waiting for them to answer, I turned to look at Ve Hai Yen. I stretched and my neck made a "crack" sound.

"The jade pendant is mine, and the silver is mine. If you want to capture it, just capture it."

The sound of the whole hall breathing in cold air merged into one, like the autumn wind blowing through the bamboo forest. Khuong Thu Dao felt as if she had received a general amnesty, she limply sat down on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time.

"Did you hear that? She admitted it herself! It has nothing to do with me!"

Marquis Uy Vien also breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly clasped his hands to bow to Ve Hai Yen.

"Little master, you heard it too. This harsh person has personally confessed his crime. You can handle it however you want, our Marquis will absolutely not say a word."

Ve Hai Yen paid no attention to them. He walked out of the crowd. One step at a time. Come in front of me. He is more than half a head taller than me. When he looked down at me, the expression on that cold face was extremely complicated. There are doubts. There are a few other emotions that even we can't understand.

“Are you really that female pirate?”

His expression was cold.

“You admit it so easily, aren't you afraid that I will take you to Kinh Trieu palace?”

I raised my head to look at him and smiled.

"If I want to leave, no one here can hold me. Did you forget that night you were tied up by me..."

“Shut up!”

Ve Hai Yen's face suddenly changed. He immediately put his hand over my mouth. His hand was large and hot, pressing tightly against my lips. His eyes were filled with confusion. Even the tip of the ear turns red, clearly visible to the naked eye. The surrounding guests were bewildered. No one understood why the young master suddenly put his hand over the female pirate's mouth. I blinked, smiling at him through my palm. He stared into my eyes for two breaths then slowly let go and took half a step back. Then he turned around, faced all the guests in the yard, suddenly cleared his throat and smiled extremely brightly.

“Ha ha, I was just joking with everyone just now.”

The whole school was silent.

“This jade pendant was not left by any female pirate.”

He waved his hand, his tone as light as the wind.

"I just want to confirm who its real owner is. Right now, it seems that this jade pendant does not belong to Miss Khuong Nhi, but to Miss Uyen Ninh."

He pulled out a roll of crimson marriage certificate from his sleeve. Right in front of everyone, he opened the marriage certificate and brought it in front of me.

“The owner has been found.”

The corners of his lips curled up slightly to look at me. The coldness in the bottom of his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a look of certainty of victory.

"Then this bride price... should also be brought to propose to Miss Uyen Ninh."

The commotion throughout the yard rose like a tide, almost engulfing the entire main court Weiyuan Marquis Palace. Someone dropped a cup of tea. Some people jumped up from their chairs and tried to crane their necks to look. Someone covered their mouth and took a deep breath. More than two hundred people gathered and talked. The buzzing sounds of discussion mixed together, making our ears ring. The crimson kiss scroll in front of her was still held in Ve Hai Yen's hand. A wind blew. The page rustled slightly, revealing neat rows of ink letters inside and the bright red seal of the Ve Quoc Cong palace. I bowed my head and looked at that engagement letter. Then he raised his head to look at Ve Hai Yen. He was still looking intently at me. The layer of ice that had frozen for three winters on that cold face had now melted away, replaced by a smile full of assurance of victory. That smile that appeared on his face was a bit strange. After all, the rumored little master named Ve was always cold and quiet.
