Chapter 10 — Forced Kiss

“Someone asked me to pass it on to you.” There were only four words on the paper. Be careful of insiders. The handwriting is strange, the pen is extremely stable. I asked: "Who gave it to you sir?" Lieu Thanh Hoa said: "Can't say." "Why help me?" Lieu Thanh Hoa closed the lid of the tea cup. "I only help with evidence." Leaving the Ministry of Rites, Tan Tran rushed forward: "How's it? Has Tham Nghien recognized that dog?" I put the paper in my sleeve. "I haven't received it yet." "So what should I do now?" "Check for insiders." Tan Tran was stunned: "The Marquis has an insider?" I watched Xuan Dao follow behind. Xuan Dao's face turned pale: "Miss, I will absolutely not betray you!" I said: "I know." Her eye sockets immediately turned red. "So who is it?" I didn't answer. In the Marquis Palace, there are quite a few people who can come into contact with my writing, but there are not many people who can know the location of the seal box. Mother Ngo, next to her mother, Mr. Trieu, was in the reception room, and the maid cleaned the main courtyard. There is one more person. My second sister, Tong Ngoc Kieu. Although she was not born from her mother, she often used the excuse of asking for her mother's blessing to enter and leave the main courtyard. During these years, she has been obedient in front of me and has never fought in front of outsiders. But Tham Nghien's statement that my mother is not in charge, sounds like he knows the old resentment in the back of the Marquis' mansion. Seeing that I didn't speak, Tan Tran stamped his feet impatiently: "An Ninh, don't keep it to yourself." I said: "Follow me to the Marquis Palace." As soon as the main door of the Marquis Palace opened, Tong Ngoc Kieu came out to welcome him. She was wearing a light pink dress, holding a bowl of soup in her hand. "Sister, you're back. I heard you went to the Tham residence, then to the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid you'll be tired, especially stewing lotus seed soup." Tan Tran scolded behind me in a low voice: "Weasel came to celebrate the Chicken New Year." Tong Ngoc Kieu seemed not to hear, still smiling gently. "Sister Qin is also here." Tan Tran snorted: "Don't call me sister, my mother only gave birth to me." Tong Ngoc Kieu's face turned red and quickly recovered. I looked at the bowl of soup in her hand: "How did you know I was coming to the Ministry of Rites?" Tong Ngoc Kieu was stunned: "The servants in the palace are all talking." "Who said?" "I don't care." "Then how do you know I'm tired?" She bit her lip: "Why would you ask me like that? I only care about you." I received the soup and bowed my head to smell it. Lotus seeds, lily seeds, silver ear. There is also a very faint scent of agarwood. I raised my eyes: "Are you burning incense?" Tong Ngoc Kieu unconsciously touched her sleeve: "It's the Giang family's new fragrance. If you like it, I still have it." Huong Giang family. Today she spoke very cleverly. I gave the same soup to Xuan Dao: "Pour it away." Tong Ngoc Kieu's face changed: "Sister!" "I don't drink things of unknown origin." "This is something you stewed yourself." "So I don't drink even more." Tan Tran almost burst out laughing. Tears came from Tong Ngoc Kieu's eyes: "Sister, I know you're upset about the Tham family, but you can't vent your anger on me. You're in the palace, living off others, being careful everywhere, is it wrong to even give you a bowl of soup?" Again, living thanks to others. Lam Van Duong also uses this set. I looked at her: "You are the second lady of the House of Marquis, not a stray cat picked up on the street, stop hanging the phrase that you live off of others in your mouth." Tong Ngoc Kieu's face turned pale when I talked about it. At this time, the old lady in the yard quickly came over. "Eldest lady, old lady, please come over." I asked: "What's going on?" The maid took a look at Tong Ngoc Kieu, lowered her voice and said: "The Shen family sent someone to deliver a letter to the old lady, saying that today there was a big disturbance in the Tham residence and even went to the Ministry of Rites to stop the marriage. The old lady is very angry." Tan Tran said angrily: "The judge's indictment was really quick." Tong Ngoc Kieu said in a low voice: "Sister, grandmother values rules the most. Later, you will admit your mistakes, don't argue." I took a look at her. “Sister

Do you really hope that I will admit my mistake?" "I'm just afraid that my sister will suffer a loss." "Don't worry." I handed the horse whip to Xuan Dao. "Today the one who will suffer will not be me." In Tho An hall, the smell of sandalwood was so strong that it choked people. The old lady sat in the upper position, her hand holding the Buddha's rosary. Next to her sat the second judge, her eyes full of watching the show. The person sent by the Tham family was Hua ma ma. As soon as she saw me enter, she immediately knelt down. cried. “Old lady, you must be the master of our Tham family. Today, Miss Song destroyed the humiliation at the Tham residence, forced her to kneel down in front of everyone, and even caused trouble to the Ministry of Rites to stop the marriage. Our wife is so angry that she has a headache." The old lady patted the table: "Minh Ninh, do you know what's wrong?" I bowed: "What do you want me to confess to?" The old lady frowned: "You still dare to argue? The two Tham Tong families have been together for many years, but I didn't think about the big situation, but because of a girl who lives with them, there will be chaos that will cause storms throughout the whole city. Women's jealousy is a big taboo." The second judge immediately chimed in: "That's right Minh Ninh, Mr. Tham is young and talented, his future is still bright. A man having three wives and four concubines is a normal thing, not to mention that Miss Lam is also pitiful." I looked at the second aunt: "Last month the second uncle raised a child to sing outside. Didn't the mother make trouble all the way to the theater and cut people's hair?"
