Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Crown Prince Dang Co gave my kiss to the Great General. I gratefully agreed
“Where are you?”
His close eunuch, Ly Duc Toan, immediately stepped forward.
"Pass on my will, so that the Queen... no, let noble Lieu personally come to the Tham family to comfort Tham Thi on my behalf, and by the way, help look over the dowry."
My steps stopped. This guy is... still not willing to give up. He also wants to let Lieu Y Y come in front of me to show off his power, wants to watch us two women fight with each other. Want to see me fail. Want to see me fall. I didn't turn my head, just curled my lips slightly, revealing a cold smile. Tieu Thua Trach, you look down on me too much. I also praise Lieu Y Y too much. I continued walking, without looking back, leaving the royal study. The sunlight shining down on me was a bit dazzling. This nightmare that has lasted for fifteen years is finally about to wake up. When Lieu Y Y arrived, I was inventorying the room. The dowry that the Tham family prepared for me over the past fifteen years almost filled three large houses. In it was not only the land deed for the shop from the mother's mother's Liu family, but also countless rare treasures that the father had accumulated over the years. Most importantly, there is also a part of the industry that was jointly built with the East Palace in the past. It is said that we built it together, but in reality, the investment was originally made by my Tham family, the relationship was also paved by my Tham family, and Tieu Thua Trach was just a name. Currently, most of the profits from those businesses flow into Tieu Thua Trach's private treasury. What we need to do is before leaving the capital, we must take back all the things that belong to us, not missing even a single part. A soft, gentle call came from the door. Lieu Y Y walked in wearing a light pink palace outfit, a white fox fur coat, and was surrounded by a group of eunuchs. Now she has been appointed a Noble Lady, only one step away from the position of Queen. She looked at the room full of dowries, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly hidden. Instead, a look of sympathy and guilt filled his face.
"Sister Nguyet Hoa, sister... don't blame your majesty, your majesty is also selfless."
As soon as she walked in, she immediately put on an expression of "I'm here for your good". I didn't pay attention to her and continued to look at the books in my hand, without even raising my head to ask the housekeeper.
"Several silk shops in the south of the city, have last month's accounts been reconciled yet?"
The butler bowed and replied:
"Miss, everything has been reconciled. The profit of thirty thousand taels, according to old rules... has been sent to the Eastern Palace."
I nodded, used a pen to make a mark on the book, then faintly opened my mouth:
“From this month onwards, no more.”
The housekeeper was stunned. Lieu Y Y's face also changed slightly. Finally, I raised my head to look at her, as if I had just discovered her existence.
"Lady Lieu has arrived. I can't come to the door to welcome you. Please forgive me."
My voice was calm, completely without ceremony. A palace maid standing next to her immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"Tham Nguyet Hoa! You are so bold! When you meet noble people, why don't you kneel?"
I burst out laughing.
"Currently, I am the General's wife, personally given in marriage by His Majesty. Even though I haven't passed through the door yet, my status has already been determined. I am of the same rank as a nobleman. So why do I have to Kneel?”
That palace maid was immediately silenced by me until she was speechless. Lieu Y Y quickly stepped forward to mediate, pretended to blame the palace maid, then turned to me and gently said:
“Sister is very right. His Majesty sent me here to see how your sister's dowry is prepared. If there is anything missing, just tell the palace."
As she spoke, she signaled the palace maid behind her to present a box.
“This is the Dong Hai Bright Pearl awarded by His Majesty, as a little extra dowry for my sister.”
The box was opened, inside was a night pearl the size of a pigeon egg, the light circulating extremely brightly. If it were before, maybe I would have liked it very much. But now, I just feel extremely sarcastic. Use my money to buy things, then bring them to reward me?
“No need.”
