Chapter 18 — He promised to pick me up three months later

“He confessed his crime.” “Before Lieu Ham Yen returned to the capital, the two of them had an affair.” “The baby in her womb is more than half of Ta Van Dinh's flesh and blood.” I turned to the last page. In his testimony, Ta Van Dinh declared that initially Lieu Ham Yen intended to borrow Bui Nghien's identity to give birth to the baby. After the child's name is recorded in the family tree of the Marquis Palace, she will be able to control the entire Marquis Palace. If the Tong family comes, she will say the baby is Bui Nghien's child. If Bui Nghien becomes suspicious, she will use me as cannon fodder. And the person who transmitted the news to her, and the person who helped her steal the prescription, was the old lady's mother Tu. Thai Linh angrily slammed the table. "The old lady actually helped her?" Tham Lam Chu said. "Not to help her." "But the old lady wanted a grandson." I slowly closed the statement. From beginning to end, the Bui family has never valued people. What they want... Is fame. It's face. It's the bloodline. It is a chess piece that can be held tightly in the hand. Just as I was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. The gatekeeper quickly ran in to report. "Miss, the old lady of the Marquis Palace has arrived." "She brought someone along and knelt at the beginning of the alley, saying she wanted to come and apologize to you." I raised my eyes and looked out the window. It was already dark. However, a lot of people gathered at the alley. Thai Linh gritted her teeth and said. "She doesn't have to come to apologize." "It's obvious that she wants to force the young lady to soften her heart." I put on a coat and stood up. Female physician Bach frowned slightly. "Are you planning to go out again?" I replied. "She knelt right in front of my house. If I don't see her, tomorrow people will say I'm unfilial and inhuman." "If she wants to act, then I'll let her perform the entire play." But as soon as I got to the door, I heard the old lady screaming. "Chieu Duong!" "If you still remember a little of your old love, then save the Bui family!" packed with people. The old lady knelt on the blue stone floor, next to her were two maids standing as servants. Her sideburns were messy, her face was gray, and she looked ten years older than her previous appearance as sitting in the position of mother-in-law at the Marquis Palace. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she still used that familiar tone. "Chieu Duong, before, we were confused." "For three years, you married into the house, took care of your mother-in-law, took care of the affairs of the palace, and have never done a bad job." "Now that the Marquis Palace has been deceived by others, you can't stand by and watch the Bui family collapse." As she spoke, she tried to kowtow to me again. There was immediately a chorus of exclamations around. I stood in the door, not stepping up to help. Thai Linh was impatient and said softly. "Miss, she is using her position as an elder to pressure people." I softly said "Yes". "Just let her kowtow." The old lady's movements immediately stiffened. Maybe she didn't expect that I really didn't stop her. Her forehead was only less than an inch from the ground, she had to stop there. The scene suddenly became extremely ridiculous. I walked over the threshold. "What did the old lady come to ask for?" She raised her head to look at me, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. But very quickly it was covered by tears. "The Marquis' Palace has now been sealed off, the shops are also being investigated." "Nham Nhien was banned by the royal court, saying he did not rule the house strictly and his conduct was flawed." "That bastard Lieu Ham Yen has harmed our Bui family." "You and Nghien Nhi were husband and wife, we cannot ignore it." I looked at her. "Why do I have to take care of it?" The old lady was stunned. "Before, you were the one who understood the most." I smiled softly. "Now I don't understand anything anymore." "Since I retired, I have learned how to calculate accounts." There was a giggle in the crowd. The old lady's face turned pale. Grandma

I gritted my teeth and suddenly took a box from the maid's hand. "This is the white jade bowl left by your mother." "There's also that golden brooch inlaid with Dong pearls, we've already found it for you." "If you respect these items, please withdraw the lawsuit at the mandarin." Thai Linh immediately took the box and opened it. Inside, there were only three white jade bowls left. The Dong Chau on the gold brooch still has cracks. I lowered my eyes and took a look. "Where are the missing items?"
