Chapter 2 — He promised to pick me up three months later

“That year I married into the Marquis Palace, thirty-six trunks of dowry were carried into the palace.” “The debts owed by the Marquis Palace were all paid by my store on your behalf.” “Bui Nghien promoted, the gifts he gave, all used silver from my silver jewelry.” “The gold brooch on Miss Lieu's head today is also from my dowry store.” Lieu Ham Yen instinctively raised her hand to touch her bun. Everyone's eyes were focused on her head. Her expression immediately changed. Bui Nghien said in a deep voice. "Chieu Duong, enough." I looked at him. "Not enough." "Today is just the beginning." I returned to the hospital to pack my things. Actually, there's nothing to clean up. Some outfits. Some books. A jade button left by his mother. With circuit sheet in sleeve. Thai Linh asked softly. "Miss, are we going back to the Tham family?" I clasped the jade button in my palm. "Not going back." "To Nhan An Duong." Thai Linh paused. "Are you okay, young lady?" I didn't answer. Outside the gate of the Marquis Palace, Bui Nghien chased after him. He lowered his voice. "You just go out and stay a few days ago." "Don't do things to the point where there's no way back." "I'll pick you back three months later." I raised my eyes to look at him. "Bui Nghien." "Don't come pick me up." He frowned. "What do you mean?" I didn't say another word. As the carriage rolled away from the long street, the red gate of the Marquis Palace closed behind. Thai Linh grabbed my hand, her fingertips were cold. I took out the circuit board from my sleeve and tore it in half. Thai Linh's face immediately turned pale. I looked at the lantern of the medical shop in front. "Stop the car." Nhan An Duong's female doctor came out to greet me. I placed the torn circuit sentence down in front of her. The voice was extremely calm. "This child." "I don't need it anymore."02 Female physician surnamed Bach. She looked at me for a long time. "Have you thought about it, lady?" I nodded. "I've thought about it." Thai Linh immediately knelt down on the ground. "Miss, I can't!" I helped her stand up. "Thai Linh, I'm retired." "If this baby is born, it will have the Bui family name." "The Bui family will use it to tie me down for the rest of my life." Thai Linh burst into tears. "But that's also Miss's flesh and blood." I gently stroked her lower abdomen. That place is still flat. Still no movement at all. I said softly. "I can't protect a child who is treated like a pawn." "Let's not risk it with Bui Nghien's conscience." Doctor Bach withdrew her eyes. "This medicine will harm the body." "But I'm still young, there's still time." "After drinking it, tonight will be very painful." I said. "Prescribe." Doctor Bach wrote the medicine. Thai Linh stood next to her, tears constantly falling. I don't cry. Something like tears, only if they fall in front of someone who cares for you, has meaning. Bui Nghien is not worthy. After the medicinal herbs were prepared, medical woman Bach brought a bowl of black medicinal herbs. I took it and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste lingers at the base of the tongue. Thai Linh supported me. "Miss." I placed the empty bowl back on the table. "To the front page." Thai Linh was stunned. Even the female physician Bach raised her head to look at me. I said. "Let's go now." "While the Marquis hasn't recovered yet, block all the money that can be sealed first." Female doctor Bach frowned. "You can't go out tonight." I took out a bank check from my sleeve. "Please Doctor Bach come with me." "If something happens along the way, please save me." Female doctor Bach looked at the check, but didn't reach out to accept it. "You're cruel." I replied. "No. cruel." "But we can't be slow." Half an hour later, I sat in the carriage. A dull pain began in my stomach. I tightened the car's side, but no sound was made. Thai Linh intended to tell the driver to stop. I held her hand. "To Hang Thong Tien Trang." That was one of the shops my mother left me. Treasurer Nghiem, just looked

Seeing me, his face immediately changed. "Miss, why are you here at this hour?" I placed the dowry record book on the counter. "From today onwards, anyone from the Marquis Palace who comes to receive money will not receive anything." Treasurer Nghiem lowered his voice. "Yesterday the Marquis Palace butler just came to receive five hundred taels." I looked at him. "What is it used for?" Treasurer Nghiem took out the book. "It says it's for taking care of my children." Lady Lieu just entered the palace." Thai Linh was so angry that she was shaking. I turned to the page recording that item, picked up my pen and folded it. "Note it down." Treasurer Nghiem immediately nodded. "Yes." I asked again. "In the name of Bui Nghien, is there any contract using my store as collateral?" Treasurer Nghiem hesitated for a moment. I stared at him. He bowed his head, took out two pieces of contract from the secret compartment. "Yes." "Last year, the Marquis used the silk shop in the south of the city of the Lady as a mortgage of three thousand taels." "It's just a temporary turnaround, it will be compensated very soon." I looked at those two pieces of paper. Bui Nghien never told me. At that time, he still held my hand, said that the deficit of the Marquis had been filled, and told me to rest assured and take care of myself.
