Chapter 10 — Female Dong Gia Vengeance

I looked at my father. "The chest was brought into your study?" Father moved his lips. Co Hoai Xuyen folded the letter. "Master Wen, please come with me tomorrow to explain." Lieu suddenly pointed at me. "It's all your fault! You just came back and the family is not at peace. Even after your death, your mother is not at peace, you are the same!" I walked up to her. "My mother is not at peace, it's because someone stole her things, harmed her daughter, even her last words. Before I died, I wanted to hide it." Lieu Thi was about to scold her, but Co Hoai Xuyen spoke up. "Mrs. Wen is also coming along." Lieu Thi went limp and sat down on the ground. The eyes my father looked at me for the first time showed fear. Co Hoai Xuyen handed over the wooden chest to the maid, turned around and said to me. "Lady Wen, that letter from Mrs. Tham, is not just this one page." I asked. "Where is the rest?" He glanced at his father. "In your hands, it could make the Wen family unable to raise their heads." The next day, the door of the yamen was crowded with people. The Wen family was a famous embroidery shop in the city. His father was invited by the servant, and Lieu Thi was escorted behind. The news had already spread outside. On Nhu Duong also came. She was dressed in a simple dress, holding a baby and standing at the door, her face looking like she had suffered countless injustices. Luc Thua An stood next to her, the wound on his forehead had not completely healed, holding a book case in his hand. As soon as Lieu saw them, she immediately cried. "Duong Nhi, Thua An, quickly say something for me!" Wen Nhu Duong hugged the child and knelt in front of his father. "Father, mother must have been wronged. Sister, now relying on people in the capital, wants to corner us." Luc Thua An clasped his hands and turned towards the crowd. "Everyone, Uncle Wen's family matter should not make a fuss in public. The eldest lady's resentment is a plan." Mother and concubine, using the hands of outsiders to take private revenge, is not filial." Someone in the crowd nodded. "A daughter suing her father, it's really hard to hear." "Eldest Miss Wen grew up in the manor, her heart is too strong." Lieu heard the gossip and immediately cried even more fiercely. "I've been bitter about being a housekeeper for so many years, and I'm known as an evil woman. You want my life, I'll give it to you, okay? "What?" She said as she was about to rush into the stone lion in front of the door. Trieu ma ma screamed loudly. Before the agent could make a move, I reached out and grabbed Lieu Thi's back collar, yanking hard, causing her to fall to the ground. "Don't be in a hurry to die." I said, "The debt hasn't been settled yet." Luc Thua An frowned. "Eldest lady, even if you're wrong, you're still your elder. By acting so publicly like this, aren't you afraid of people pointing fingers behind your back?" I looked at him. "Lord Luc borrowed fifty taels from me, have you brought it today?" He was stunned. Everyone around immediately looked at him. "What fifty taels?" I told Lao Hua to take out the promissory note. "The sixth young master and my younger sister had an affair. When he was kicked out of the Wen family, he said that the child was innocent so he should borrow fifty taels from me to invite the nanny. On black and white paper, the monthly interest was three points." On Nhu Duong panicked. "On Tri Y, shut up!" The crowd was in an uproar. The scholars who had just talked to help Luc Thua An quickly took a half step back. Luc Thua An's face was extremely unsightly. "Eldest Miss, why do you keep bringing up Duong Nhi's personal matters to insult me like this?" "When you used filial piety to force me, why didn't you feel insulted?" I retorted, "Mr. Luc is a reader, so you should know the four words 'debt must be paid', right?" Co Hoai Xuyen, standing in front of the door, suddenly spoke. "Luc Thua An, the family also accepts the debt case. If you don't pay, you can add it to trial." Luc Thua An gritted his teeth, took out a few scraps of silver from the side compartment of the book case. "Now

I only have this much." I don't accept it. "Not enough profit." Wen Nhu Duong sobbed. "Are you so determined to send us to death before you accept it?" "When you guys harmed me, didn't you leave me a way to live?" Wen Nhu Duong was stunned. She didn't understand this sentence. The sound of the public hall's drums rang out. The district decree promoted the road. Co Hoai Xuyen presented my wife's letter, the contract was scraped, the books were old, called again. Zhao's mother testified right on the public street. Father knelt down in the public hall, sweating on his forehead. The district commander asked. "Wen Thieu Dinh, why is Tham Minh Chau's dowry contract in your hands, and it was also shaved?" Father bowed his head. "In the past, my grandfather was seriously ill, there was no one to take care of the shop, I was just a temporary replacement." The district commander slapped the table. "Why did you change the name temporarily?" Father did not answer. Yes. Lieu Thi cried and complained. "The lady is illiterate, completely ignorant of these contracts." Trieu ma ma suddenly raised her head. "The lady is literate. Lady Tham's letter was also the one she told her servants to burn. The slave was greedy so he kept a piece, thinking to protect himself in the future." She took out half a piece of burned black paper from her chest. On it there were only a few broken lines of writing. I saw the words "cold substance in the stomach", "Liu Thi brings soup", "Protect Tri Y", the chest was as if it had been sliced open again by an old knife.
