Chapter 25 — He promised to pick me up three months later

“Miss, the official has news.” I put on my coat and stood up. Treasurer Nghiem has just arrived, his face full of joy. "Today, the Marquis's government office has been sealed." "The Chuang Tu in the suburbs and two shops will be publicly auctioned after three days." "The silver collected will be given priority to return the dowry to Miss." "From the Tham family's side, Lord Tham has also admitted that the letter was written by himself." "The Palace ruled that he must return the three thousand taels of silver taken from Trang Tu's." Madam." Thai Linh couldn't help but laugh. "That's called retribution." I lowered my eyes to look at the tea cup. The surface of the water in the bowl was clear, reflecting my still somewhat pale face. "It's not retribution." "It's fair payment." Treasurer Nghiem said again. "There's one more thing." "The Royal Palace has presented three incriminating statements against the Bui Marquis family." "It's said that he favored a concubine who disrupted the family's style, appropriated the property of the main wife, and tolerated his mother's attempt to harm the lives of others." "His Majesty, however, respects the merits of the Bui family in the past." So I haven't stripped him of his title, but have suspended his position." Thai Linh widened her eyes. "So doesn't the Marquis Palace completely no longer have a source of revenue?" Treasurer Nghiem nodded. "So last night the old lady fainted again." I didn't say anything. The people in that rosy court... Used to see me as a never-ending vault of money. Now the vault is closed... Their wall has also collapsed. In the afternoon, the officials brought news about Lieu Ham Yen's case. After waking up, in order to protect herself, she confessed everything that the old lady and Tu's mother discussed about faking her death. Ma Ma Tu was arrested. Because of her old age, the old lady was temporarily placed under house arrest at the Marquis Palace, waiting for the case to end so the crime could be determined. The baby in Lieu Ham Yen's womb also showed signs of labor. After hearing that, female physician Bach frowned slightly. "Her body has been tortured to the point of being damaged by herself." "This fetus... may not have had a smooth birth." I was silent for a moment. "Have you invited a midwife?" Thai Linh looked at me in surprise. "Miss, are you still worried about her?" I shook my head. "I'm not worried about her." "It's an innocent baby." "Even if it didn't come to this world gloriously, it doesn't deserve to die in trouble." The nature of an adult." Shen Lam Chu heard those words, his eyes immediately became softer. "Let me send someone to invite two midwives over there." Nurse Bach also stood up. "I'll go." I looked at her. She calmly said. "A doctor saves people." "Don't save grudges." At dusk... News came from the Marquis Palace. Lieu Ham Yen was born. Is a boy. The baby was still breathing, but extremely weak. Tong Hoai An and Ta Van Dinh were both escorted by officials to the Marquis Palace. Although the method of bloodletting to identify himself was not entirely reliable, right on the spot, Ta Van Dinh saw a small mole at the end of the child's eyebrow. His whole body immediately went limp and collapsed to the ground. That mole... Is a genetic characteristic of the Ta family's men. Combined with letters and testimony, Lieu Ham Yen had no way to deny it anymore. Bui Nghien did not enter the delivery room. He stood alone in the empty front yard of the Marquis's mansion. Hearing the baby's cry, he suddenly knelt down. Not because of Lieu Ham Yen. It's not because of that baby. It's because... He remembers the child I once lost. At this point, Thai Linh's eyes turned red again. "Miss, Marquis sent someone to deliver a letter." I received the letter, but did not open it. The coal pot is placed right under the foot. I threw the letter in there. The fire quickly burned onto the corner of the paper, soon burning it to ashes. Thai Linh asked softly. "Miss, don't you read?" I shook my head. "His regret... I have heard enough." Three days later. Government

of the Marquis Palace was officially sealed. I didn't come to see. But in the capital, many people came. Some people said that when the old lady was helped out, she cried until she fainted. Some people said that Bui Nghien personally took down the Hau Phu signboard without a single tear in his eyes. Some people said that Lieu Ham Yen, holding the baby, was escorted by officials to the hospital for house arrest, and Ta Van Dinh was also thrown into prison. When that news reached Hoe Hoa alley, I was in the embroidery ward watching the new female workers deliver the products. A girl about sixteen or seventeen years old secretly hid a broken embroidered handkerchief in her sleeve, not daring to show it to me. I walked over. "Take it out." She blushed and handed the towel to me. The stitching is crooked, and the embroidered lovebirds look like two frightened ducks.
