Chapter 5 — Female Dong Gia Vengeance

Wen Nhu Duong cried and cursed me cruelly. I turned around and instructed the gatekeeper. "From today onwards, Wen Palace will not allow Luc Thua An to come in and out at will. During the time the Second Miss is detained, who dares to secretly deliver letters, break her legs and sell them." The gatekeeper immediately agreed. Next to me, a young errand boy named A Thanh glanced at me, then quickly bowed his head. I miss him. In his previous life, he passed many letters to Lieu Thi. Later, when Luc Thua An gained power, he also became a manager. At this moment, his fingers kept touching the edge of his sleeve, as if there was something hidden there. I walked up to him. "What's in the sleeve?" A Thanh was so scared that he knelt down. "No, it's nothing." Old Hua pressed him down and pulled out an envelope from his sleeve. On the envelope was Wen Nhu Duong's handwriting, writing: "Thua An personally opened it." On Nhu Duong's face changed. I opened the letter, saw only two lines, then gave it to my father. Father ran from the lobby. After reading, the back of his hand was covered with blue veins. In the letter, she told Luc Thua An to be patient for a few days, she would ask Lieu to use the money from the embroidery shop to arrange a place for him to live, and also said that the child was an eyesore and it was best to take him far away. Father raised his hand and gave Wen Nhu Duong another slap. "Are you still complaining about not being humiliated enough?" On Nhu Duong covered his face and looked at me with resentment. "Father, it was my sister who forced me. If it wasn't for her, why did I fall into this path?" I said, "Sister, I didn't force you to steal men, I didn't force you to give birth, and I didn't force you to write letters." Lieu Thi protected On Nhu Duong and cried to her father. "Old man, Duong Nhi is confused, but Tri Y also gradually oppresses her. How is she like a sister? She has such a cruel heart, whoever she marries to in the future will be a disaster." Father looked at me, and there was that calculating light in his eyes. I know where Lieu Thi's next dagger will fall. Sure enough, before dinner, the matchmaker came to the door. The person who came was the matchmaker of the Tien family who sold rice in the west of the city. Old man Tien is nearly fifty years old, three wives have passed away before, and his youngest son is also older than me. Lieu Thi sat in the upper seat, her eyelids not bothering to lift. "Tri Y is no longer young, the Tien family is rich and worthy of her." I looked at the birthday card in the matchmaker's hand. In my previous life, I did not have this marriage. We changed paths, Lieu also changed directions. The matchmaker smiled, revealing her golden teeth. "The Wen family's eldest lady is blessed. Master Tien said, as long as the eldest lady comes through the door, she will immediately give the Wen family three thousand taels in bride-price money." Father's hand holding the cup of tea paused. Lieu Thi's smile finally stabilized. I looked at my father. "Do you want to sell your daughter?" In the lobby, coal was burning, still unable to stop the cold breath of greed. Father did not answer me immediately. Lieu Thi opened his mouth for him. "Whatever you sell or don't sell, the eldest daughter has to get married. The Tien family has a rice shop, a house and a mansion, where do you mistreat your children?" The matchmaker also joined in laughing. "The old man Tien loved the young wife very much. The previous ones were unlucky, not that our Tien family was not good." I asked her. "How did the last three ladies die?" The matchmaker's face was stiff. The daughter's health is weak and she is sick." "One person is sick, two people are sick, are all three sick?" I picked up a cup of tea, "Is it because the Tien family's feng shui is not good, or is it because the Tien family is cruel?" The matchmaker's face was covered in powder and could not hide her anger. "Eldest Miss speaks very harshly." Mrs. Lieu patted the table. "On Tri Y, it's a big matter, it's my parents' orders. Your father is still there, it's not your turn to be picky." I looked at my father. "Do you also have this in mind?" Father avoided his eyes. "My family is willing to spend three thousand taels,

enough to see sincerity. After your mother got sick and there was a shortage of expenses in the palace, you should also distribute the worries to your family. "I smiled. Three thousand taels. In my previous life, I used the dowry to pave the way for Luc Thua An, not just three thousand taels. In this life, they were even lazy to disguise. Suddenly, the sound of an errand boy's announcement came from outside. "Master, Tan the treasurer of Cam Tu ward is here, saying he wants to see the eldest lady." Father frowned. "Cam Tu ward?" Lieu Thi's face changed. Cam Tu Phuong is a large embroidery shop from the capital, and has been very famous in Jiangnan in the past two years. The Wen family embroidery shop wanted to climb high to take their order, begged several times but there was no door. The shopkeeper Qin walked in, wearing an elegant colored cotton shirt, behind were two apprentices. She didn't look at Lieu Thi, went straight to me to bow. "Lady Wen, ask 'Bach' Diep Quan Dang', which means the hundred butterfly dress model, that you sent someone to bring, my Dong family has seen it. The Dong family said, if you are willing to personally embroider the dress pattern for the nobles in the palace this time, the price will be doubled. "The hall was quiet for a moment. Father quickly looked at me. "What dress pattern?" Lieu Thi quickly said. "Is shopkeeper Qin mistaken? Tri Y just returned to the palace, how could she interact with your Dong family?" Treasurer Tan glanced at her.
