Chapter 4 — He Forced Me To Sign A Separation, Unexpectedly I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time

I sat by the window of an elegant room, quietly watching the flow of people passing by downstairs. The gentleman told the story of vigorously patting the wooden canal. In just a moment, listeners gathered around.

“You objective people, there's something you don't know!”

"That eldest lady of the Tham family, her front leg has just been retired from the Duke's Palace, her back leg is already ringing Dang Van ancient music!"

"What she foxes is not an ungrateful husband, nor a cruel uncle!"

“But... The duke's mansion was stolen!”

“One hundred and fifty chests of dowry, after just one night, they flew away without wings!”

“Tsk tsk, this is truly the first serious case since the founding of the country by Great Zhou!”

The tea guests chatted loudly, saying all kinds of things. Some people say I'm stupid. While still in peace, the Princess's wife insisted on a separation. Some people say I am foolish. Even though they are divorced, they still worry about their ex-husband's family. Some people let their imaginations run wild, saying that I had affairs with others, colluded with lovers, coordinated inside and out to create my own act of theft. I listened to those impure words, my face remained calm, and I slowly enjoyed my tea. Thanh Mai stood behind me, so angry that her little face turned red.

"Miss, they are all talking nonsense! Let me go and tear their mouths to pieces!"

"Sit down."

I spoke softly.

"The mouth is on other people, they can say whatever they want."

“What I want... is for them to talk.”

“The more they talk and the more excited they are, the more special this play will be.”

Thanh Mai half understood and half did not sit down, but in her heart she was still extremely dissatisfied. I put down the tea cup and looked towards the royal citadel in the distance. Wei Dien, at this time, must be at Thuan Thien palace, receiving Trieu Duc Xuong's "interrogation". He definitely couldn't understand. Why would a woman like me who was abandoned by him turn around and help him report to the authorities? He couldn't understand even more. Why did the Duke's Palace, which he was always proud of, become the laughingstock of the entire capital overnight? He will be angry. Will be furious. He will vent all his anger on the person he considers the "oligarch who caused everything". Chu Van Vien. My good uncle. Phu Thi Lang Bo Lai. Chu Van Vien is currently in a mess. The people he sent almost overturned the entire capital. But not even a strand of my hair was found. At that moment, the butler ran in in panic.

"Master! It's not done!"

“The duke... The duke has left Thuan Thien palace!”

“He is on his way to our palace!”

Chu Van Vien's heart suddenly jumped.

"Isn't he being interrogated? Why was he released so quickly?"

"I heard someone from the palace came and bailed him out."

The butler replied while wiping cold sweat.

“But... but the Duke looks like he wants to kill someone!”

The words haven't ended yet. Wei Dien rushed straight in with a murderous aura. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at Chu Van Vien.

“Chu... Van... Vien!”

Those three words were almost gritted out from his teeth.

“You really gave me a great cicada escape show!”

Chu Van Vien was so cold when he looked at him that he could only try to stay calm.

“Duke, what do you mean by this?”

“What do you mean?”

Wei Dien suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his collar tightly.

“You said you bastard Tham Cam The other letter went to report to the official!”

“Make this princess lose face in front of the entire capital!”

“Now the entire Duke Palace has been sealed!”

“Even my home, I can't return!”

“Tell me, what does that mean?”

Chu Van Vien was squeezed so hard that he could barely breathe.

“Cough... cough... it wasn't me... I didn't know you were going to report to the officials..."

“You don't know?”

Wei Dien smiled coldly, the strength in his hand tightened even more.

“Other than you, who else can command her?”

“Do you think that as long as you make a big deal of it and go all the way to the government, I won't be able to do anything to you?”

“I tell you, you miscalculated!”

“Those one hundred and fifty treasure chests are the foundation for the cooperation between you and me!”

“Now the thing is lost, you and I are grasshoppers on the same string!”

“If you don't hand over those things, I will go in front of His Majesty and denounce you!”

"Accusing you of colluding with me, slandering loyal people, and plotting to usurp the Tham family's assets!"

"I want to see if it's your head, this Bo Lai maid's head is stronger, or my Duke title is heavier!"
