Chapter 6 — I Marry Instead of Samadhi, Just To Recoup A Debt

I turned my head and glanced at Tieu Tung. "If your brain is sick, go find a doctor." Having said that, even though the sounds of scolding, shouting and screaming were heard behind me, I did not turn back. It had been a long time since the two children had left the Marquis Palace. I plan to take them out for a walk. I quietly asked someone to exchange the dowry that the Tham family gave me into silver. Fifty taels of silver checks were also used to buy food, cotton clothes to protect against the cold, and transport them to the border. Now, when I take the two children out for a walk, of course I have to use the Marquis's money. I went to the payment office to receive the money. The manager of the recording room faltered. "Lady The Tu..." My temper immediately flared up. "I took the young lady and the young master out to buy a few more things, shouldn't I get the money?" The manager of the recording room trembled. "It's... Miss Dao's instructions. Since the first Lady The Tu fell ill and was bedridden, the housekeeper's authority has been assigned to Miss Dao, we slaves..." The more I listened, the angrier I became. Taking the two children by the hand, I went straight to the main gate, blocking Tieu Tung who was rushing out to the door. It's true that a man only has his beloved concubine in his heart. Just the second day after the wedding. From the moment we got married until now, we haven't said ten sentences to each other. Yet he looked at me, the newly married heiress, his face full of impatience. "What do you want to do?" I understand. It's because I hit his concubine that he's angry. But what does that have to do with us? It's clear that his lover failed to harm me and brought the beating upon himself. Let's get straight to the point. "Sister Nguyet Nhi and Canh Ca Nhi haven't been able to leave the palace for a long time. I wanted to take them out for a walk and go to the payment room to collect the money, but they refused." Tieu Tung just confirmed that Mrs. Hau had nothing to worry about and then comforted Dao Yen Nhi, which took a lot of time. It was almost time to enter the temple, and seeing that I was still leading two children blocking the way, he could not help but feel impatient. He took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and gave it to me. "Take this piece of jade pendant to the payment room." In the morning I took the two children out. By the time we returned to the Marquis Palace, it was already dark. Tieu Thuy stood waiting at the palace gate. As soon as she saw the carriage, she immediately ran to pick it up. "Miss, Miss Dao heard that the person who received a thousand taels of silver from the expense collection room became angry. I heard that in the room, she also broke everything that could be broken." I regretfully shook my head. "It's true that a woman destroys property. If you don't want anything, just give it to me. I can also change it into a cold coat, felt boots, and all kinds of medical treatment for the generals at the border."7 The two children were both gone. sleep soundly. Seeing that I was holding one child in each hand, Tieu Thuy immediately reached out to take Canh Ca Nhi. Just after putting the two children to bed, Tieu Tung aggressively rushed forward. "Tham Nhu, when did you know the way back? I thought you were kidnapped by human traffickers." His voice was loud, completely ignoring the two sleeping children. I originally intended to push him out before talking. Who would have thought that he didn't pay any attention. By reflex, I raised my hand and slapped him. Thinking that he is the father of two children and doesn't care about them at all, I use up seven parts of my strength. The slap hit Tieu Tung's face completely to the side. He stood still for a long time, then slowly turned to look at me. The corner of his mouth was torn open, a trickle of blood leaked out. Seeing him open his mouth to continue speaking, I immediately grabbed his wrist and pulled him straight out of the room. Tieu Thuy quickly closed the door, blocking out all sounds. When we got to the yard, I let go of his hand, my tone was not very friendly. "It's already this late, you're not next to the person in your heart who has a sudden recurrent heart attack, why are you running to my hospital?" Tieu Tung bowed his head.

Look at the wrist I just grabbed. After a while, he raised his head to look at me. This time when he opened his mouth, he was no longer angry like before, his expression softened a bit. He said: "Nhu Nhi, seeing you treat the two children so well, I'm really touched." The night wind blew. A chill immediately spread throughout my body, giving me goosebumps. I took a step back. "Don't call me Nhu Nhi." It's really disgusting.
