Chapter 3 — He promised to pick me up three months later

“Then take it down now.” She bit her lips, tears falling freely. “I just want the child to have a dignified status.” “You won't even give me this little bit of dignity?” I walked in front of her. She hid behind Bui Nghien. Bui Nghien stood in front of me. "That's enough." I raised my eyes. "Get away." He stared at me. "Tham Chieu Duong, you weren't like this before." I replied. "I had a husband before." "Not now." Bui Nghien's face stiffened. The old lady shouted angrily. "Who's there, please get out!" The two ladies stepped up. Thai Linh stood in front of people. I took out a sealed piece of paper from my sleeve. "Who dares to touch me?" "This dowry record has been sent to the official for filing." The two ladies immediately stopped. Bui Nghien frowned. "You've gone to the mandarin?" I opened the paper. "In my dowry book, there are thirty-six trunks." "Currently in the warehouse, there are six trunks of silk, two boxes of pearls, and a set of pure gold jewelry missing." "There is also a silk shop in the south of the city, which you arbitrarily mortgaged for three thousand taels." Bui Nghien's eyes were slightly confused. The old lady suddenly turned to look at him. "What mortgage?" Lieu Ham Yen also turned to look at Bui Nghien. Bui Nghien lowered his voice. "It's just capital rotation." I slapped two contracts on the table. "Using my store to rotate capital." "Using my money to support Lieu Ham Yen's life." "Using my dowry to organize a wedding for you guys." "Bui Nghien, you really know how to act." The silence in the yard was chilling. The person in the ceremony room quietly retreated back. The servants did not dare to raise their heads. Bui Nghien's face was extremely ugly. "What do you want?" I replied. "Open the warehouse." "Inventory." "If one item is missing, compensate three times the price." The old lady shouted shrilly. "Don't be afraid!" I looked out the door. "Please two servants come in." Everyone turned their heads. Two officials entered the front yard. Treasurer Nghiem followed behind, holding the dowry book in his hand. Bui Nghien's face finally changed. "Tham Chieu Duong, you dare to report to the mandarin?" I looked at him. "You dare to swallow, I dare to report." The mandarin looked at Bui Nghien. "Master, the mandarin has received the dossier to make a case." "The dowry is the woman's private property." "If there is an act of appropriation, it must be immediately inventoried on the spot."The old lady hugged her breasts." already!" "That's really counter-truth!" Lieu Ham Yen hugged her stomach, tears falling again. "Do you have to force me to death?" I looked at her. "I don't force you to wear my clothes." "I also don't force you to move into my hospital." "And even less do I force you to marry me and marry my husband." Her face turned pale. Bui Nghien shouted angrily. "She is not healthy, please stop saying a few words!" I nodded. "If she is not healthy, you can use your own money to support her." "Don't use my money." A mandarin coughed softly. "Open the warehouse." The butler no longer dared to stop her. When the warehouse door opened, there was chaos inside. My chests have all been pried open. Silk was scattered all over the ground. The two jade bracelets are gone. Even the set of white jade bowls left by my mother was missing one piece. I stood at the door, not entering. Thai Linh knelt down and cried while picking it up. Treasurer Nghiem named each item in turn. "A set of pure gold jewelry." "Missing." "Two boxes of Nam Chau." "One box missing." "Six pieces of Van brocade." "Six pieces missing." Each time he read a sentence, Bui Nghien's face became a little darker. The old lady began to say nothing more. Lieu Ham Yen's hand slowly moved to her hair. I looked at her. "Now take it down, I still consider returning it myself." Her hand shook. The golden brooch fell to the ground. A clear “ding” sound

rang out. Vien Dong Chau rolled to my feet. I bent down to pick it up. There was a small crack on it. I raised my head. "This brooch, triple compensation." Lieu Ham Yen suddenly raised his head. "I don't have any money!" I said. "Then let Bui Nghien compensate." Bui Nghien gritted his teeth. "Chieu Duong, after all, we were once husband and wife, do we have to calculate so clearly?" I looked at him. "From the moment you wrote the retirement letter." "We are no longer husband and wife." "But creditors and debtors." in debt.” The official told the butler to seal the warehouse. When the red seal was posted on the door, Bui Nghien finally walked up to me. His voice dropped very low. "Today you have trampled on the dignity of the Marquis Palace." "How can I take you back in the future?" I looked at the seal. "You don't need to take me." His eyes darkened. "Don't regret it."
