Chapter 10 — After My Father Inducted Seven Nuns, They Immediately Prepared Me A Timetable
Third uncle looked at her, his face extremely ugly.
“Does this place give you a voice?”
I immediately said:
"Auntie Hua is my teacher. Today I invited her to stand here to help me look up old precedents."
Auntie Hua looked at me. We are still afraid in our hearts. But I don't bow my head. Third uncle turned to look at me again.
“Your father is not here, so you dare to act so rashly?”
Concubine Tan took a step forward. Hand placed on the handle of the horse whip. I raised my hand to stop her.
"No need."
I looked at Uncle Tam.
“Even though my father is not here, I still have the Hua family name.”
“I can keep the things my mother left behind.”
The words just ended. A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Very well said.”
Everyone turned their heads at the same time. She is the female official next to Concubine Hien. She led two palace servants in. In his hand he also carried the reward.
“Night Concubine Hien heard that Miss Hua's housekeeper has a method, and specially rewarded a wish-fulfilling jade tree and four bows.”
Uncle Tam's face immediately turned pale. The female official looked at everyone in the hall, smiled and said:
"The lady also said that a woman knows how to be a housekeeper. Miss Hua is still young and can maintain the inheritance left by her mother, very good."
These words just came out. The uncles in the clan immediately no longer dared to open their mouths. I stood up and thanked him. After the female official left, the main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Third uncle forced out a smile.
“An Ninh, today was just a misunderstanding.”
I also laugh.
"If it was a misunderstanding, then when do you guys plan on returning the borrowed money?"
Third uncle completely couldn't laugh anymore. Finally, the clan decided to pay it off within three months. If you can't pay at the moment, use real estate and stores to repay the debt. Wait for everyone to leave. I just realized that the back of my shirt was soaked with sweat. Aunt Lieu gave me a cup of hot tea.
“Are you afraid?”
I take the cup of tea.
"If you're so scared, why do you still dare?"
I looked at the book on the table.
“Because those are the things my mother left behind.”
Concubine Liu smiled slightly.
“Today you look very much like your wife.”
I bowed my head to drink tea. The tea is a bit hot. So hot that it hurts my eyes. The day my father returned to menstruation was at the beginning of winter. He got thinner. There's still a wound on his shoulder. But the spirit is very good. I brought everyone in the palace to stand in front of the gate to welcome you. Seven concubines stood behind me. When my father got off the horse and saw me, he was obviously stunned for a bit. Haven't seen each other for half a year. I'm a little taller. Also a bit quieter. She was no longer the little girl with red eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and said she wasn't as scared as the day he left the capital. He stepped in front of me. I performed the ceremony with him.
“Father has returned.”
He immediately frowned.
“Why do you still celebrate with your father?”
I burst out laughing.
“It's the rule of the Marquis's residence.”
My father looked at me for a long time. Then suddenly he reached out and patted my head. The bridge of my nose.
“You have also become thinner.”
He said in a low voice:
“It's been hard for you.”
I shook my head.
“Not difficult.”
It's actually hard. Very hard. But well worth it. That night, I brought all the books of the past half year to my father to see. How much profit do the stores make? How much does the estate harvest? Clan people How much money was refunded? How much is spent in the government? Let's tell each story in turn. My father listened very attentively. Finally, he closed the notebook, his eyes slightly red.
“If your mother was still here, she would definitely be very happy.”
My eyes are also red.
“You're still here.”
We look out the window.
“I always feel like you are always watching me.”
My father was silent for a long time.
“An Ninh, there is something I should tell you.”
My heart immediately felt tense. He took out a letter from his chest. The envelope is a bit old.
"This is the letter my mother left for me. She said to wait until I could hold the Marquis's palace myself before giving it to me."
I received the letter. Fingertips trembled slightly. That is the mother's handwriting.
