“Are you so determined to swallow all my dowry that even the mandarins can't ignore it?” He lowered his voice. “I told you, everything will be returned to you.” “Why do you need to force me to this extent?” I looked at him. “Bui Nghien, up to now you still think I forced you.” “Is the pension letter written by me?” “Is Lieu Ham Yen brought to the palace by me?” “My store was brought by me.” Mortgage?" He was speechless when I asked him. After a while, his voice calmed down a bit. "That day I was suddenly confused." "Retirement doesn't count." "You followed me back." Outside the public hall, the chatter became louder and louder. Someone muttered. "This Marquis is really thick-skinned." "After retiring, he still wants to pick him up." "I'm afraid the money has run out." Bui Nghien's face turned pale. I smiled softly again. "Do you want me to come back?" His eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes." "As long as you are willing to return, we will arrange things well on Ham Yen's side." "You are still Mrs. Hau." I looked at him, word by word. "Then first of all, let's kick Lieu Ham Yen out of the palace." "Then I will return the baby in her womb to the Song family." "Finally, in front of everyone in the capital, I will admit that you are marrying me." someone else, appropriating the dowry." The light in Bui Nghien's eyes immediately disappeared. "You know I can't do it." I nodded. "So I can't either." At that moment, Phu Doan finally went to work. The sound of the wooden hall just rang out. The editor loudly announced. "Order the housekeeper of the Marquis, Lieu Thi Ham Yen, Tong Hoai An to go to work." Bui Nghien suddenly turned his head. I also looked towards the gate of the public hall. Lieu Ham Yen was helped in by two ladies. Her face was pale, her eyes filled with tears. But behind her, Tong Hoai An was still holding a wooden box in his hand. He walked to the front of the public hall, first bowing to Phu Doan. "The people have evidence." "It can be proven that the baby in Lieu Ham Yen's womb is not the child of the Song family, nor the child of the Bui Hau family." As soon as Tong Hoai An's words fell, there was an immediate stir outside the public hall. Lieu Ham Yen staggered, almost unable to stand. Bui Nghien's face also changed. He stared at the wooden box in Tong Hoai An's hand, his voice cold and tense. "If you dare to speak vaguely, this Marquis will absolutely not forgive you." But Tong Hoai An was not afraid of him. He placed the wooden box in front of the sentence, raised his hand and opened it. Inside were several letters, a medical record, and a piece of jade pendant belonging to the man. Phu doan frowned. "What is that?" Tong Hoai An replied. "Half a year ago, the peasant fell off his horse and was injured." "For three months he could not get close to women." "This is the medical record given by Bao Hoa Duong's doctor." "When he was still at the Tong family, Lieu Ham Yen knew about this." Having finished speaking, he took out the letter again. "These are the letters she wrote to other people before leaving the palace." "In the letter, she made an appointment to meet at the private hospital on the other side." Nam Thanh, even mentioning the baby in her belly." Lieu Ham Yen screamed. "You slandered me!" "Those letters were not written by me!" Tong Hoai An laughed coldly. "Whether it's your handwriting or not, the great man of Phu Doan will let someone examine it." Phu Doan ordered the bookkeeper to bring it up. The manager only looked twice and his expression became strange. Bui Nghien snatched a letter from it. As soon as he saw the handwriting above, his fingers immediately tightened. The paper was squeezed until it was wrinkled. Lieu Ham Yen rushed forward to snatch it back. "Brother Nghien, don't watch!" But Bui Nghien took a step back. That step back was not heavy. But like in front of everyone, he slapped her really hard. I sat next to the public road, coldly looking at everything. Lieu Ham Yen's tears were like rain. "It was Tong Hoai An who forced me." "He hated me for leaving the Song family.

That's why I made up these things." Tong Hoai An said. "If I hate you, I just lock you in the Song family." "But you remember day and night hoping to rely on the Bui Hau family, I will fulfill it for you." "It's just that you want to dump someone else's illegitimate child on the Song family, I don't agree." Bui Nghien suddenly looked towards Lieu Ham Yen. "Is what he said really true?" Lieu Ham Yen Crying and shaking his head. "No." "Brother Nghien, I believe in you." "In my heart, there has always been only you." Her words were both soft and touching. If it were before, Bui Nghien would have been heartbroken. But right now, there were many people standing outside the hall watching the letters.
